It could take awhile. Much higher gold prices would help.
These folks have the properties and expertise to make it work. Plus, unlike a lot of comparable miners/explorers...they have a good cash position and no debt.
I'd like to know if they're going to get a settlement with Canada for allowing them to explore and drill the Crow's Nest. They put in a lot of time and trouble to find bonanza grade gold there and then it was shut down. They need to get compensated.
No way am I selling here. I'll wait a long time if necessary.
Happy hiking!
Hey all,
Not too bad. Well, not so good either. lol
I am holding for the big move.

Max to begin exploration at its Diamond Peak Gold/Zinc Property, Nevada; adds additional 96 claims
MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has been advised by Kokanee Minerals Ltd. that it will not be proceeding with its option on MAX's wholly-owned Diamond Peak gold/zinc property in Eureka County Nevada and has returned the property to MAX in order to pursue exploration opportunities in Africa. MAX will receive all geologic and geophysical data prepared by Kokanee as well as an additional 96 claims that have been acquired around the initial 38 claims. MAX intends to review all available data and conduct surface exploration and sampling in preparation for drilling in the third quarter of 2010.
The Diamond Peak Property is located at the southern end of the prolific Carlin Trend of Nevada, which contains numerous gold deposits. The property now comprises 134 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.
Kokanee completed only two drill holes at Diamond Peak and has elected not to make the annual option payment of US$50,000 now due to MAX. Kokanee has agreed to deliver to MAX all geological reports and data on the property, which includes a "3-d" Induced Polarization ("IP") survey that utilized computer data interpretation to provide a comprehensive model which enabled the IP survey to not only measure along the line of survey but between the lines. A total of 4 kilometres of strike length was surveyed and the data was interpreted to find further targets on the property. There were two clearly noticeable features of interest found in the inverted resistivity and chargeability models along with two other anomalous features within the surveyed area. The two features of immediate interest were a north striking linear fault-like structure and a circular intrusive-like feature in the southern portion of the geophysical grid. To further evaluate these features, the geochemical grid will be extended to the east and south, and further work will be done to expand the anomalous zones, especially to the east and north and where anomalous silver and zinc values occur in soils.
During previous historic work done by MK Gold in 1999 they encountered gold and base metal values that included:
5 feet of 0.067 opt (2.08 grams) Au in hole DV 99-4 and 5 feet of 0.062 opt (1.93 grams) Au in hole DV 99-5;
11.6 % Zinc over 5 feet within 60 feet of surface along the West Fault in the Chainman formation in hole DV 99-15; and
106 g/t silver in outcrop (3.40 ounces per ton) which was never followed up.
Max plans to explore the property using the original exploration program recommended to Kokanee. MAX will follow up on the 11% zinc zone identified by MK Gold only 60 feet from surface. The second drill area will explore a zone of mineralization which contains anomalous silver, zinc and lead. Another primary target is the outcrop that assayed 3.40 opt silver, which has potential as a Contact Replacement Deposit ("CRD"). Gold targets are extensive and will be defined further before drilling. Surface geochemistry is being expanded to the east of the claim block and will cover the areas of high geochemistry in gold, silver and zinc reported by MK Gold.
Stuart Rogers, the President of MAX, states "We have identified at least three areas of interest for gold, zinc and silver at Diamond Peak, none of which were tested by Kokanee during their recent two hole drill program. We acquired the Diamond Peak property in 2006 and only optioned it to Kokanee due to our lack of working capital at the time and inability to fund extensive exploration on our own. With cash on hand now in excess of $2.5 Million and gold currently trading in excess of $1,200 per ounce, we are extremely pleased to be re-acquiring a 100% interest in such an attractive exploration project on the Carlin Trend. We will be conducting an aggressive exploration program at Diamond Peak during the balance of 2010, which we will outline in future news release."

MAX drills 27.4 meters of 0.467 g/t gold and 3 meters of 1.79 g/t gold at Table Top, Nevada; deeper drilling planned
MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has received the assays from its recent diamond drill program at the Table Top gold project near Winnemucca, Nevada. A total of 15 holes were drilled for a total of 660 meters (2,156 feet). Of these holes, ten intersected the mineralized structure and contained significant gold mineralization. The zone of mineralization continues for the entire length of the structure and is open to the northeast and southwest. Gold mineralization also appears to increase in value as deeper zones are intersected.
In addition to the 15 holes completed at Table Top, three trenches were dug and sampled near the original drill hole reported by Gold Fields Mining Company that contained 50 feet of 0.027 opt Au. The current core holes were drilled to be perpendicular to the strike of the mineralized zone and across mineralization which is hosted in a silicified tectonic breccia.

Sometimes I wonder. Is this company looking for gold or a big vein of silence?
LOL
Feds refuse to cough up 17 million bucks that should go to mining companies who found gold adjacent to Glacier National Park. After these companies invested time and money, the rules got changed. They need to be compensated.
Story alludes to Canada needing to compensate miners as well. Including MAX.

I was just going to post that. Let's see how this unfolds--this crew is good at finding gold. They found bonanza-grade in BC before a judge shut down further exploration.
That won't happen in Nevada.
MAX intersects mineralized zone of silicified breccia during drilling at Table Top gold project in Nevada.
PR Newswire
VANCOUVER, April 19
TSX-V Symbol: MXR
OTC BB Symbol: MXROF
Frankfurt: M1D
VANCOUVER, April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) is pleased to announce the intersection of silicified breccia near surface in the second and third drill holes during core drilling currently underway at the Company's wholly-owned Table Top gold project in Nevada. Drill hole MT2 was drilled at a 45 degree angle next to the original vertical drill hole completed by Goldfields during the 1980's that intersected 55 feet of 0.84 g/t Au (0.027 opt). This hole, as well as hole MT3 drilled at a 60 degree angle at the same location, confirm the existence of the historic mineralized zone reported by Goldfields and support our theory that subsequent drilling by Goldfields drilled down the dip of the beds and thus missed the main mineralized zone. The drill core samples are being sent for assay to Inspectorate America Corp in Reno, Nevada. Drilling is continuing.
Prior to drilling, a trench was dug that exposed a silicified brecciated zone at surface, with assay results showing anomalous gold, arsenic, antimony and mercury. Significant gold results from this trenching are reported in the following table:
Sample Channel Distance (feet) Assay (g/t Au)
----------------------------------------------------------
51 0-5 0.92
52 5-10 0.42
53 10-15 0.33
54 15-20 0.56
56 25-30 0.1
The Table Top property is comprised of 171 claims (3,420 acres) located 10 miles west of the town of Winnemucca, Nevada, just off of Interstate 80.
Table Top is located along the Kings River Rift, a regional geologic feature that appears to control mineralization in the area and which hosts multiple high-grade vein-related gold systems. Along this trend is AMAX's Sleeper Canyon Mine (2.5 MM oz Au produced), located 25 miles to the north, the Goldbanks gold occurrence located 37 miles to the south, and the Sandman gold deposits (a joint venture between Newmont Mining Corporation and Fronteer Development Group Inc.) immediately to the north, where drilling by Newmont continues to highlight the high-grade nature of near-surface gold mineralization.

MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has begun a 16-hole core drill program at its wholly-owned Table Top gold project in Humboldt County, Nevada. This drill program follows an extensive trenching program that has been conducted on recently acquired claims at Table Top, with assay results pending.
The Table Top property is comprised of 171 claims (3,420 acres) located 10 miles west of the town of Winnemucca, Nevada, just off of Interstate 80.
Table Top is located along the Kings River Rift, a regional geologic feature that appears to control mineralization in the area and which hosts multiple high-grade vein-related gold systems. Along this trend is AMAX's Sleeper Canyon Mine (2.5 MM oz Au produced), located 25 miles to the north, the Goldbanks gold occurrence located 37 miles to the south, and the Sandman gold deposits (a joint venture between Newmont Mining Corporation and Fronteer Development Group Inc.) immediately to the north where drilling by Newmont continues to highlight the high-grade nature of near-surface gold mineralization.
MAX now controls all prospective land available between Table Top and Sandman, where Newmont can earn a 60% interest by spending $23 Million on exploration and advancing the project to a production decision by June 2011. Maps showing the Kings River Rift and the new claims staked by MAX are available on our web site at www.maxresource.com.
Welcome, Packerjack.
Can you tell us what was said in the magazine?
I came across Max R. some time ago. They have promising properties in Nevada. They got their drill permits a month or two ago and we're waiting for results.
They are a first-class operation with a strong cash position. Unfortunately the stock got punished when a BC judge disallowed miners from drilling anywhere close to Glacier National Park. MAX had discovered bonanza-grade gold near there. It's funny--they'll let companies invest money in properties, drill and find gold then they take it away. MAX is taking legal action for full compensation.
Still, they have other prospects in known gold-bearing areas. So it's a waiting game. This is also one of those stocks that is very difficult to get in and out of quickly. Very wide spreads. It can also go up very quickly--this isn't bloated with shares and I don't see any dilution coming because they have a lot of cash. (I could be wrong!)

Property Summaries:
Nevada Gold – Table Top (100%). Table Top is located 10 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca, Nevada. The property consists of 171 claims (3,420 acres). Permitting is underway for a 16 hole diamond drill program to be conducted in early 2010. Prior to drilling, up to 12 trenches will be completed to expose the bed rock for sampling.
The Table Top area is on trend with AMAX’s Sleeper Canyon Mine (2.5 MM oz Au produced), located 25 miles to the north, the recently announced Sandman gold deposit (a joint venture between Newmont Mining Corporation and Fronteer Development Group Inc.) 8 miles to the north, and the Gold Banks gold occurrence to the south. This zone of mineralization is along the Kings River Rift, a regional feature which appears to control mineralization in the area.
Clancy Wendt, VP Exploration states “In preparation for this drill program, MAX has obtained and reviewed aerial photos, geology maps, geochemical assay maps, and geophysics which covers IP, SP, and Magnetics, as well as data from the limited drilling conducted on the property. As a result, we have identified previously unreported structures that support our theory that prior drilling was drilled down the dip of the beds and thus missed the mineralized zone. We feel that the Table Top area is geologically favorable for the discovery of a medium-sized high grade, bonanza style gold deposit in a near surface environment.”
Nevada Gold - East Manhattan Wash (100%). East Manhattan Wash is located eight miles south of the Kinross/Barrick Round Mountain mine (+ 14 million oz gold produced to date) and within the prolific Manhattan Mining District, Nye County, Nevada. The total mineralized zone encompasses an area 5,500 by 1,500 feet in size while still remaining open to the north, east, and west. A total of 138 samples were reported in November, 2009 having significant values ranging from 0.05 ppm to 1.5 ppm gold, (1.5 grams per tone). Large volume soil samples reported in early 2009 returned significant gold values up to 0.32 ppm Au and a bulk sample also in early 2009 recovered 4.9 grams/ton gold and 1.2 grams/ton silver from a 793 pound sample. A large sample data base (1,107 samples) containing values of up to 3.3 ppm Au in rocks and up to 1.0 ppm Au in soils was recently acquired by MAX. These samples, along with MAX’s latest results, have been added to our sampling data base and new maps are being created to better define the anomaly for further work, which will include trenching and large bulk samples prior to drilling during 2010. The first of these maps is now available on our web site at www.maxresource.com.
Clancy Wendt, VP Exploration of MAX, states “With these latest sample results, and the additional data we have acquired, we have now defined a significant area of gold mineralization that contains potential for a large mineralized system. More important is the fact that the mineralization appears to be free gold within the volcanic tuff. A large sample is being taken where the highest grade sample was found to define how deep the mineralization extends and to see if it increases in grade.”
Nevada Gold/Zinc – Diamond Peak: Kokanee Minerals (TSX.V:KOK) can earn a 51% interest in Diamond Peak by spending US$1 Million on exploration, reimbursing all lease payments and issuing 600,000 shares to MAX. The Diamond Peak project is located 32 miles north of Eureka, Nevada in the Carlin Trend. 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. Drilling conducted by MK Gold in 1999 intercepted 5 feet of 1.93 g/t Au in hole DV 99-5, 5 feet of 2.08 g/t Au in hole DV 99-4 and 11.6 % of Zinc over 5 feet within 60 feet of surface along the West Fault in the Chainman formation (hole DV 99-15). Drilling has been permitted for early 2010.

BILLINGS – Leaders of Montana and British Columbia said Tuesday they will ban drilling and mining in a remote valley along the US-Canada border that companies have tried to develop for more than a quarter-century.
Proposals for gas drilling, gold exploration and coal mining are all pending in the million-acre Flathead Valley, just upstream from Glacier National Park.
An agreement to be signed next week by Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer and British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell would halt ongoing exploration work and prohibit future development.
Companies with money already invested in leases or exploration could be compensated through the Canadian and U.S. governments, Schweitzer said, although details have not been worked out.
The area is a stomping ground for grizzly bears and wolves. It's known as the Crown of Continent for its grand mountain peaks.
The prospect of development had drawn international pressure to put an outright stop to mining and drilling.
As the world turns its attention on British Columbia with the upcoming Olympics in Vancouver, Lt. Gov. Steven Point said Tuesday the province wants to show its commitment to the environment.
"Mining, oil and gas development and coal-bed gas extraction will not be permitted in British Columbia's Flathead Valley," Point said in the traditional Speech from the Throne to open the Legislative Assembly session.
Schweitzer said the agreement resulted from years of negotiations. understanding the (Premier Campbell) and I are going to sign next week in Vancouver," he said.
A Canadian mining industry representative said the government would be asked to reconsider but acknowledged the chances of a reversal appear low.
Gavin Dirom, president of the British Columbia Association of Mineral Exploration, blamed U.S. interests for meddling in Canadian politics and pushing through a ban that will hurt the province's economy.
"We feel like we were bullied," Dirom said.
In Montana, Will Hammerquist with the National Parks Conservation Association said the region can now turn its attention to industries with less impact.
The state's two U.S. senators, Democrats Jon Tester and Max Baucus, welcomed the ban. They earlier asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other federal officials to put diplomatic pressure on Canada to stop development.
Energy companies have rights to at least 218,000 acres on the Montana side of the border, but drilling has been on hold there under a 1986 federal court order.
Efforts to stop mining in the region date to the 1980s, when a U.S.-Canada joint commission rejected an open pit coal mine in the valley because of potential environmental damage.
Another coal mine was proposed in recent years. Oil and gas companies also have been eyeing the area. And in December, Max Resource Corp. said it had extracted samples of high-grade gold from a ridge about 10 miles north of Glacier.
A 2003 British Columbia land-use plan for the area set mining as a high priority and said other uses such as wildlife habitat and recreation "will not preclude ... approval of mining activities."
Glacier, in Montana, and Waterton International Park in Canada were designated as a World Heritage site in 1995 because of their outstanding scenery and abundant wildlife.
In January, a team of U.N. scientists recommended a moratorium on mining in the valley.
"we will seek adequate compensation."
Will they get compensated for the time and expense of drilling/lost mining claim or maybe the lost potential of their bonanza-grade find?
Stay tuned. This will take a while...
Game over for a while. Look for this to drop by half at least.
VANCOUVER, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Max Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has learned that the Government of British Columbia intends to halt all ongoing mineral exploration work and prohibit any future mine development in the Flathead Valley in Southeastern B.C.
In his Throne Speech of February 9, 2010, which outlines the B.C. Government's legislative agenda for the upcoming session, BC Lieutenant-Governor Steven L. Point announced that the Province of B.C. intends to enter into a partnership with the State of Montana regarding the Flathead River Basin and, as a result, "Mining, oil and gas development and coalbed gas extraction will not be permitted in British Columbia's Flathead Valley". This action will effectively prevent any further exploration or development of the Company's Crowsnest gold project, which is located in the Flathead Valley watershed.
"We are surprised and disappointed by the Government's action," said Stuart Rogers, President of MAX, "given our outstanding exploration results at Crowsnest in 2009. And we will seek adequate compensation."
MAX will now resume its focus on gold in Nevada, where drill permitting on three gold exploration projects (Table Top, Diamond Peak and East Manhattan Wash) is already well underway.
NEWS.
MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has staked an additional 139 claims (2,780 acres) at its Table Top gold project in Humboldt County, Nevada, where a 16 hole core drill program is being permitted for early 2010.

(OT) MountainHiker,
I got your links and response. I've been to sites like those you gave as well as sought any like them for years ... I was always able to find answers supporting the opposing views and already knew most of them myself already.
As I said in my post, people need to do more DD and learn what the original language actually said. I can take ANY of those points and break them down for you. DmansurD at gmail dot com..... anytime, anyplace....... I'm not afraid of the truth and never went at it blindly. an MS in science doesn't typically mean illiterate, unread, or illogical.
--You know where to find me.
These kinds of very thinly-traded miners are notoriously difficult to get in and out of. The spreads can be outrageous. I have done fairly well with many of them, BUT it does require a lot of patience and a high frustration tolerance, too. For example, earlier this year I bought SHSH and watched it go down to a nickel where I was losing 50 percent. I refused to sell for such a low price (spreads were ridiculous) and a couple months later I made about a 50 percent profit. Actually sold too soon, but my point is I would never get into these for a day trade or a flip. Just won't work.
I'm thinking gold will still see $2,000 or higher in 2010. We probably have another couple of weeks of consolidation and choppiness as the dollar goes up (mostly due to the Euro going down lately). Once gold starts going up again then speculative stocks like this will also fly. And this one has a bonanza-grade gold strike!
As I recall, the total outstanding is only 20 million shares or so and they also have some drilling going on in Nevada. Good news there and this one could see a buck in short order in 2010. Not pumping, just stating facts. Not many people know about this one yet.
Good luck!
I've been slapping that ask for 2 days now and they haven't given me a single share. Looks like these shares are tightly held. I might raise my bid next week to see if they loose with any.
Some volume coming in and it's green. Impressive on this gold-slam down day.
Bonanza gold strike here.
Max finished up nearly 3 cents, adding a touch of green to my mostly solid red portfolio. HA!
50 grams of gold per ton. How about that?

Max Resource Corporation announced results of the test a couple of weeks ago, but the story is just now hitting media sources here in the U.S.
Max Resource began drilling at its Crowsnest site south of Fernie, B.C. last summer, hoping to determine the extent of possible gold fields it had purchased from another company.
Now, the company some of those samples have shown gold assays as rich as 16 grams per ton, and in one location topping 50 grams per ton.
