MAX Resource's JV partner completes work program on Diamond Peak Gold/Zinc Property in Eureka County, Nevada TSX-V Symbol: MXR OTC BB Symbol: MXROF Frankfurt: M1D VANCOUVER, Aug. 24 /CNW/ - MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has been advised by Kokanee Mineral Inc. that it has completed in excess of $100,000 in exploration work on MAX's Diamond Peak Property in Eureka County, Nevada and satisfied its first year work commitment. MAX has granted Kokanee the option to earn a 51% interest in the Diamond Peak Property by spending $1,000,000 on exploration over a three year period and making certain cash and share payments. Kokanee has contracted with SJ Geophysics of Delta, B.C. to conduct a "3-d" Induced Polarization ("IP") survey on the Diamond Peak property. This 3-d survey will utilize computer data interpretation to provide a comprehensive model which will enable the IP to not only measure along the line of survey but between the lines. This survey was completed in June 2006 over a total of 4 kilometres of strike length and the data is currently being interpreted for inclusion in a National Instrument 43-101 Geological Report being prepared on the Diamond Peak property for Kokanee Mineral Inc. The Diamond Peak Property is located at the southern end of the prolific Carlin Trend of Nevada, which contains numerous gold deposits. The property comprises 38 claims located 32 miles north of the town or Eureka, Nevada and the Archimedes gold deposit owned by Barrick Gold Corporation. Strong surface mineralization occurs in a 2 mile long band of intensely clay altered rocks, 200 to 300 feet wide, on the hanging wall side of a major north striking normal fault, called the West Fault. During previous work done by MK Gold in 1999, which included 17 holes and 10,085 feet of drilling, they encountered gold and base metal values that included: << - 5 feet of 0.067 oz/st Au in hole DV 99-4 and 5 feet of 0.062 oz/st Au in hole DV 99-5; and - 11.6 % of Zinc over 5 feet within 60 feet of surface along the West Fault in the Chainman formation in hole DV 99-15. >> The base metal values were not considered significant and were not part of further considerations. However, current prices of zinc, silver, and lead make this an important target for further exploration. There are three intrusives that contain significant base and precious metal signatures along their edges that have not been drilled and could contain skarn mineralization that may be economic. The geophysical survey was conducted by Kokanee to better define the intrusive contacts and define drill targets for the next phase of exploration. The information by MK Gold was not NI 43-101 compliant (and predated NI 43-101). There has been no NI 43-101 Geological Report completed on the Claims or on the Diamond Peak project. The historic information provided is for reference only and the reader should not infer or assert that the information is correct, reliable, relevant or accurate and should not be relied upon. Any mineralization or drilling estimates relating to the Claims are historical in nature, have not been verified by the issuer's qualified person, and should not be relied upon. This news release has been reviewed by Mr. Clancy J. Wendt, P. Geo, a "qualified person" as that term is defined under National Instrument 43-101. About MAX Resource Corp.
