• Average grades were 537 ppb gold and 640 ppm Copper, medians were 25 ppb Au and 171 ppm Cu;
• Sample widths of the individual chip samples ranged from 0.125 to 1.00 metres with the majority in the 0.30 to 0.40 metre range;
• Copper minerals included: chalcopyrite, chalcocite and occasional bornite;
• Assay results are pending on a further 88 samples.

North Choco Gold-Copper and Choco Gold-Platinum

North Choco Gold-Copper (500 sq. km) is located 80 km SW of Medellin and is contiguous to properties held by AngloGold Ashanti and Continental Gold and includes rights to exploration and exploitation over a 72.5 sq. km Mining Area.

North Choco is 47 km SW of AngloGold's 2005 Nuevo Chaquiro copper porphyry discovery, hosting an inferred resource of 604Mt at 0.65% copper and 0.32g/t gold with a contained metal content of 4 million tons of copper and 6 million ounces of gold. This is one of five known porphyry centres within a 15 sq. km area. The Nuevo Chaquiro Resource is disclosed in the AngloGold presentation "Discovery and Geology of the Nuevo Chaquiro Cu-Au (Ag-Mo) Porphyry Deposit". Max cautions investors results from adjacent and nearby properties are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted at North Choco.

AngloGold Ashanti examined the North Choco area for porphyry copper in 2005, locating porphyry copper prospects and anomalies. AngloGold was unable to follow up and the area has sat idle until Andagueda Mining completed its historic agreement earlier this year.

Max's Choco Gold-Platinum Property (2.140 sq. km) is located adjacent to and SW of North Choco Gold-Copper and covers or is adjacent to historic production of 1.5Mozs gold and 1.0Mozs platinum. Free gold was observed from hard-rock conglomerates taken from surface in February of 2019. A follow up Long Wave InfraRed (LWIR) survey identified multiple conglomerate zones spread over a 1,000 sq. km area. Test work is continuing on accessing the fine gold within the conglomerates and the second phase exploration program will commence soon. Source for Choco: R.J.

QA/QC

All rock chip samples were shipped from site and delivered by Company personnel to the SGS Colombia S.A.S laboratory in Medellin, Colombia, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility.

All rock samples were analyzed utilizing SGS's ICM40B procedure, a four-acid digestion of a one half-gram sample with an ICP finish, with a copper upper limit of 10000 ppm (1%). All rock samples were also analyzed utilizing SGS's FAG303 procedure, a 30-gram gold fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Over limit copper values were subsequently analyzed utilizing ASS41B over range package with an upper limit of 30% copper. Certified blank samples from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. were inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals. No irregularities were noted.
