Max Resource Appoints Technical Member Ready to Announce with Confidence?
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2026) - MAX RESOURCE CORP. (TSXV: MAX) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D2) ("Max" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Scott Franko has joined the Advisory Board as a technical member.
Mr. Franko is an Ontario registered Professional Geoscientist with almost 40 years of domestic and international experience in base and precious metals and critical metals, both in exploration and mine settings. Most importantly, is the 4 years in managing projects in Colombia in particular, Max's current Mora Gold Silver Property (KK6-08031).
Highlight channel cuts from 2012 exploration conducted by Mr. Franko and 2025 exploration (refer to Figure 1 and Table 2):
"I'm honoured to be appointed to the Advisory Board. The exploration my team conducted in 2012 led me to the conclusion the Marmato deposit is part of a much larger mineralized system that undoubtably continues across the Mora property (KK6-08031). At the time, Gran Colombia stated that the Marmato deposit is open and continues at depth and to the southwest and to the south, both areas cross the Mora Property," comments Max Technical Adviser, Scott Franco.
"We are extremely pleased to welcome Mr. Scott Franko to the Max Advisory Board. His experience exploring the Mora property will be of significant benefit as the Company advances exploration and the PTO (Mines Operations Plan) with the prime objective of drilling," commented Max CEO, Brett Matich.
"Collective Mining's Guayabales continues to move closer with the first drill hole at the X Target, located adjacent to the northern border, intersecting 12.85m at 503 g/t silver equivalent. Adjoining along the eastern border, Aris Mining reports Marmato upgrade target of 200,000 ounces p/year starting Q4, 2026, highlighting the prospectivity of Mora," he concluded.

Max advises investors that the gold mineralization at Marmato or Guayabales may not necessarily by indicative of similar mineralization at the Mora. Max further advises the QP has been unable to verify the information on Marmato that the information is not necessarily indicative to the mineralization on the Mora.

Quality Assurance
Max adheres to a strict QA/QC program for sample handling, sampling, sample transportation and analyses. All 21 rock samples were taken by the Max consulting geologist, labelled, placed in sealed, securitized bags and shipped to ALS Lab's sample preparation facility in Medellin, Columbia. ALS Medellin is an ISO 9001: 2008 certified facility and is independent of Max. All samples were analyzed using ALS procedure ME-ICP61, a four-acid digestion with inductively coupled plasma finished. Over-limit gold is determined by ALS procedure Au-GRA21 a 30 gram fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Over-limit silver, lead, arsenic and zinc were determined by ALS procedure OG-62, a four-acid digestion with an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish.
At this early stage of exploration, Max relied on the QA/QC protocol's employed by ALS.

About Max Resource Corp.
Max Resource is a mineral exploration company focused on copper and precious metals assets in Colombia and exploration development of a high purity iron project in Brazil.
Max cautions investors the potential quantity and grade of the iron ore is conceptual in nature, and further cautions there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and Max is uncertain if further exploration will result in the geological target being delineated as a mineral resource. Hematite mineralization tonnage potential estimation is based on in situ high-grade outcrops and interpreted and modelled magnetic anomalies. Density value used for the estimate is 2.8t/m³. Hematite sample grades range between 55-61% Fe. The 58 channel samples were collected for chemical analysis from in situ outcrops in previously mined slopes of industrial materials.
