VANCOUVER, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V:
MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) is pleased to provide an update and an
outline of plans to follow up on drilling success achieved during exploration
initiatives in 2007.
Aggressive drill programs are planned for its Gold Hill molybdenum
discovery in Alaska and on the C de Baca uranium project in New Mexico. Drill
campaigns and exploration programs are also contemplated on several highly
prospective exploration properties acquired during 2007 in Nevada (Molybdenum)
and Arizona (Uranium).
MAX has over $7.8 million in working capital as at December 31, 2007 and
has the resources to move our exploration portfolio forward through successful
exploration.
Planned exploration activities for 2008 include:

Gold Hill molybdenum project, Alaska (90% MAX)
----------------------------------------------
- MAX is earning a 90% interest from GCO Minerals
- Five hole drill program in 2007 tested a 700m by 800m magnetic
geophysical anomaly.
- All holes intercepted MoS2, with strong molybdenum mineralization
over long intervals in four holes. All of the holes but one
encountered mineralization starting at surface and ending in
mineralization at depth.
- Highlights: DH-07-01 - 250 feet of 0.080% MoS2
DH-07-03 - 1000 feet of 0.058% MoS2
DH-07-05 - 352 feet of 0.706% MoS2
- A 12 hole drill program is scheduled to begin in June 2008 aimed at
expanding the known area of intrusive mineralization. A secondary
target that emerged from the 2007 program was mineralization
identified in sediments to the east that indicate a skarn system may
be present as well.

Ravin Molybdenum Project, Nevada (100% MAX)
-------------------------------------------
- MAX is focusing on a skarn/intrusive system containing high grade
Molybdenum and Tungsten
- An 11 hole drill program totaling 11,000 feet will commence as soon
as permits are in place.
- Drilling will follow up on the results of historic work by Freeport
Exploration and Houston Oil and Minerals that reported drill
intercepts that included 30 ft of 1.01% MoS2 and 250 feet of
0.103% MoS2.

NuStar Uranium Project, Arizona (100% MAX)
------------------------------------------
- Targeting uranium breccia pipe mineralization common to the "Arizona
Strip" of the Colorado Plateau in northwest Arizona. The property is
on trend with historic and current uranium mines.
- Thirty-four circular or collapsed structures indicative of breccia
pipes have been identified on the claims.
- Radon survey to begin in late January to identify and prioritize
drill targets.

C de Baca Uranium Project, New Mexico (100% MAX)
------------------------------------------------
- MAX conducted a 14 hole drill program in 2007 to follow up on
historic Occidental Minerals drilling and was successful in
confirming historic uranium grades.
- Highlights included hole CDB-6, which returned 6.5 feet of
0.136% eU(3)O(8) starting at a depth of 155 feet and a five foot
section of 0.167% eU(3)O(8) at 170 feet.
- All uranium mineralization was within 200-300 feet of surface.
- Drill permits are awaited for a diamond drill program to be conducted
in early 2008 to detail and investigate the higher grade mineralized
zones.

Diamond Peak Gold/Zinc Project, Nevada (100% MAX, under option to
3rd party)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- The system is a typical Carlin gold system overprinted by an
intrusive skarn occurrence.
- Historic drilling by MK Gold intercepted 11.6% zinc over 5 feet
within 60 feet of surface, as well as gold intercepts of 0.062 oz/t
over 5 feet.
- Kokanee Minerals can earn a 51% interest in the property by spending
$1 Million over a three year period.
- Kokanee completed a "3d" IP survey at the Diamond Peak project in
2006 and plans to drill seven holes in 2008 on completion of its IPO.

In addition to these projects, MAX holds a 100% interest in the East
Manhattan Wash project in Nevada, which was acquired in December of 2007.
Initial work in late 2007 included surface sampling for which assays are still
pending. The system is located within the prolific gold district of Manhattan,
Nevada.
