VANCOUVER , Sept. 29 /CNW/ - MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has commenced a minimum 1,200 meter reverse-circulation drill program at the Crowsnest gold project in southeastern B.C. This program will continue to explore the discovery trench area with close spaced drill holes to find the extent of the high grade mineralization and to define the direction and extent of the mineralized structure.

The discovery trench area was discovered by Phelps Dodge Corporation in 1994 and trenched by Eastfield Resources Ltd. in 1999, resulting in a trench intercept of 8.57 g/t gold over 16.5 metres. A sample of gossan mineralization taken near this site by MAX in June 2009 returned an assay of 104 g/t Au. Several previous operators at Crowsnest, including Placer Dome Inc. and Phelps Dodge, have suggested a number of comparables exist between the Crowsnest Project and the Cripple Creek deposit located in Colorado. These comparables include the tectonic setting, alkalic intrusive association and occurrence of tellurium. Cripple Creek, in production since 1890, has produced in excess of 23.3 million ounces of gold (to 2005) and continues to be mined by Anglo Ashanti Gold Mining.

During geological work at Crowsnest conducted in August, Mr. Clancy Wendt , MAX's VP Exploration, determined that the core drilling conducted by previous operators had possibly failed to recover mineralization due to the amount of water used in the drilling process and an incorrect interpretation of the direction of the mineralized structure. A re-examination of the gossanized structure exposed at the discovery trench found free gold. This intrusive feature may be the mineralizer of the surrounding rocks; following and defining its areal extent may help in the exploration process. Exploration will be conducted using a small reverse circulation drilling unit which has been selected because of its minimal surface footprint. This unit, which is new technology, was designed for environmentally sensitive applications in the Canadian Artic. It is compact and uses air instead of water, which will eliminate the problem of water washing away free gold from the gossan material. During drilling, small amounts of each sample derived from the drilling will be panned to identify free gold, which may help to identify where gold exists in the system.

In addition to drilling, exploration at Crowsnest will also include following up on previously reported float samples that contained values up to 524 g/t gold, and re-examination of a sample grid further to the west where reported gold values ran as high as 30,000 ppb Au. Many other areas contain significant gold values that have never been followed up on and will be examined as time permits.

The Crowsnest gold project consists of 15 claims totaling 3,142 hectares located in Southeast B.C., one and one half hours by gravel road south of the town of Fernie. Crowsnest is one of two gold exploration properties in B.C. optioned from Eastfield, as announced in our news release of July 27, 2009 .
