(TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has begun drilling at its wholly-owned Table Top gold project in Humboldt County, Nevada. The Table Top property is located 10 miles west of the town of Winnemucca, Nevada, just off of Interstate 80.\nMax will be testing a down dip extension of the mineralized structure intersected during its drill program earlier this summer to a new depth in the 500-1000 foot zone. Of fifteen holes drilled, ten intersected the mineralized structure and contained significant gold mineralization, including 27.4 meters of 0.467 g/t Au and 3 meters of 1.79 g/t gold. The zone of mineralization continues for the entire length and is open to the northeast and southwest. Gold mineralization also appears to increase in value as deeper zones are intersected.\nThis year's earlier drill results at Table Top indicate that MAX may have found a potential feeder similar to a Carlin Type gold system. Multi-element geochemical values of arsenic, antimony and mercury are all extremely elevated with respect to background; numerous 1.5 m intercepts exceed 100 ppm arsenic and antimony; and thallium values in excess of 10 ppm. All of these elevated values are directly associated with elevated (in excess of 100 ppb and as high as 2,562 ppb) gold values. Silver, tellurium, selenium and base metal values are all low. Geologic interpretation indicates the zone is a 20 meter to 30 meter wide, northeast striking and southeast dipping structural zone. Gold and associated trace element mineralization is associated in and surrounding a silicified breccia (jasperoid). Low grade gold mineralization associated with high grade trace elements is often found to occur in Carlin style gold feeder systems, as have lamprophyre dikes that have also been identified in this zone. Lamprophyres' are often found in Carlin systems and a...
