(TSXV: MXR) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D1) (\"MAX\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it is receiving the initial sampling analysis results sometime next week for the Company's 1,757 sq. km gold bearing conglomerate \"Choco Gold Bearing Conglomerate Project\", located 100km SW of Medellin, Colombia.The MAX technical team have determined the best way to obtain the grade of the gold bearing conglomerates is to actually crush the conglomerate and then process the material to physically recover the free gold from the sample, rather than just assay the samples (refer to the diagram and the \"Sampling Analysis Methodology\" section listed below).Brett Matich, Max's President and CEO, commented: \"We are all eagerly awaiting next week's initial sampling results. Our sampling methodology allows the Company to calculate gold recovery, which is far more beneficial than simply determining the gold contained within the samples by conventional assay.\" Mr. Matich continued: \"Our exploration program is in full force with the objective of expanding the current 36 sq. km exploration area.\"Sample Analysis MethodologyTo view an enhanced version of the Sample Analysis Methodology, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/3834/42832_d9c2e760341378b3_002full.jpgSample Analysis MethodologyThe preceding sample methodology sheet explains the sampling protocol. MAX is currently processing the samples at the CIMEX Mineral Institute at the Medellin Mines Faculty of the National University of Colombia (\"CIMEX\").Step by step procedure:1 - A random 50kg sample is taken from each 2000kg bulk sample of hard rock gold bearing conglomerate and sent to CIMEX;2 - The 50kg sample is dried and weighed;3 - The entire 50kg sample is crushed to 2mm and sieved, producing a +2mm fraction and a -2mm fraction, with each fraction weighed individually;4 - The +2mm fraction is set aside to later recover any free gold; a sampling protocol is currently being determined;5 - The -2mm fraction is concentrated down to 75 to 150 grams of material;6 - The -2mm tailings are set aside to later recover any free gold; a sampling protocol is currently being determined;7 - The free gold is separated from the -2mm concentrate;8...
