VANCOUVER, Feb. 17 /CNW/ - MAX Resource Corp. (TSXV: MXR) (OTCBB: MXROF) (FSE: M1D) has secured a drill rig and has scheduled to resume drilling in the
first week of March on the Company's wholly owned Table Top gold
project in Humboldt County, Nevada.  Table Top is located immediately
south of the Sandman gold project, one of the Nevada properties
included in the recent proposal by Newmont Mining Corp. to acquire
Fronteer Gold Inc.

Drilling by MAX in 2010 intersected significant gold mineralization at Table Top,
confirming that the mineralization not only extends to depth, but also
increases in width and grade. Results included an intercept of 12.1 m
of 0.91 g/t gold, inclusive of 9.1 m of 1.09 g/t Au. The mineralization
appears similar to that encountered around the Goldstrike Betze-Post
mine operated by Barrick on the Carlin Trend. 

The drilling to be conducted at Table Top will target the mineralized
system down dip and along strike, exploring for higher grade gold in
what appears to be a Carlin-style feeder system.

Newmont currently has a joint venture interest in Fronteer's Sandman
project, a high-grade, vein-related gold system on Nevada's King River
Rift, a regional geologic feature that appears to control
mineralization in the area and which hosts multiple high-grade gold
systems.  MAX's Table Top property is immediately south of Sandman on
this gold trend, which also features AMAX's Sleeper Canyon Mine (2.5
Moz Au produced), located 25 miles to the north, and the Goldbanks gold
occurrence located 37 miles to the south. A map of the King River Rift
can viewed on our web site at www.maxresource.com.

The Table Top gold project consists of 48 claims (960 acres) located 10
miles west of the town of Winnemucca in Humboldt County, Nevada, just
off of Interstate 80.
