Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 6, 2024) - Florália MAX RESOURCE CORP. (TSXV: MAX) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D2) ("Max" or the "Company") has secured a 30-day extension on the option to purchase of 100% of the Florália DSO Iron Ore Property ("Florália Property" or "Property") located 120-km east of the city Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil (refer to Figures 1 to 3 and Summary of the Transaction).

On June 5, 2024, the Company received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for the Transaction. Final acceptance of the Transaction is conditional upon satisfying the filing requirements outlined in Policy 5.3 of the TSXV Finance Manual.

In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") the Company has filed an independent Technical Report entitled "Florália Project", District of Florália, Municipality of Santa Barbara, Minas Gerais, Brazil by Qualified Person ("QP") Warren D. Robb, P.Geo. (BC) with an effective date of May 29, 2024. The Technical Report is available for review on SEDAR+ () and on the Company's website ().

The 613ha Florália Property is situated within the eastern portion of the Iron Quadrangle in Brazil, which hosts some of the largest iron mines in the world.

Channel sampling through the excavated pit exposure was completed in 2023, forty-one channel samples were collected over a 151m accumulated length. This resulted in the definition of a geological target estimated at 2,971,233 m3 to 4,496,333 m3 or 8,052,041 tons to 12,184,160 tons using a density of 2.71 g/cm3 at an average grade of 58% Fe with a 6% LOI.

Max cautions investors the potential quantity and grade of the iron ore is conceptual in nature, and further cautions there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and Max is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

The source of the exploration information on the Florália Property is "Depósito Florália Oportunidade para minerrio de ferro by Jaguar Mining Inc." The document is undated.

Planned exploration in 2024 consists of geophysical and structural mapping programs, followed by drilling.

Sierra Azul Copper-Silver Project

The Sierra Azul Project comprises three continuous districts spanning 120-km, NNE/SSW direction. This region provides access to major infrastructure, including Cerrejón, the largest coal mine in South America, held by global miner Glencore. Max's twenty concessions collectively span over 188-km2 (refer to Figure 4).

Earn-In Agreement with Freeport-McMoRan Exploration

On May 13, 2024, the Company reported that it entered into an Earn-In Agreement ("EIA") with Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation ("Freeport"), a wholly owned-affiliate of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) relating to Max's wholly owned Sierra Azul Copper-Silver Project (formerly known as the Cesar Copper-Silver Project) in northeastern Colombia. The Company and Freeport are arm's length.

Under the terms of the EIA, Freeport has been granted a two-stage option to acquire up to an 80% ownership interest in the Sierra Azul Project by funding cumulative expenditures of C$50 million and making cash payments to Max of C$1.55 million.

To earn an initial 51% interest, Freeport is required to fund C$20 million of exploration commitments at Sierra Azul over five years and make staged payments to Max totalling C$0.8 million. Max will remain the operator of Sierra Azul during this initial stage. Once Freeport earns its initial 51% interest, Freeport can increase its interest to 80% by funding a further C$30 million in exploration commitments at Sierra Azul over five years and making staged payments totalling C$0.75 million.

On July 30, 2024, the Company announced the 2024 exploration program for its Sierra Azul Copper-Silver Project located in northeastern Colombia. The program, with an approved expenditure of USD $4.2 million, will be funded by Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation ("Freeport"), as per an earn-in agreement announced on May 13th, 2024.

The US$4.2 million exploration program is underway. There are two main objectives for the 2024 exploration program:

• Conduct systematic regional exploration over the entire Sierra Azul Project Area (>1,300 sq-km).
• Define priority targets for drilling.

Buyout of Royalties

On November 7, 2023, Max executed a Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to acquiring all the issued and outstanding shares of Bay Street Mineral Corp. ("Bay Street") an arms length Canadian Corporation in exchange for 14,000,000 common shares in the capital of Max.

Bay Street held an underlying 3% net smelter royalty over 19 mining concessions covering 184-km2 and 31 mining concession applications covering 796-km2 of the Company's wholly owned Sierra Azul Project. On November 21, 2023, Max obtained TSX Venture Exchange approval.

AM District

Starting in the far north of the Jurassic basin, classic stacked red bed outcrops with extensive lateral continuity have been rock sampled over 15-km of strike. Highlight values of 34.4% copper and 305 g/t silver have been documented in the sedimentary red bed sequences. The Company confirmed that stratiform mineralization continues at depth with two scout drill holes completed in 2023 (Max News Release dated April 4, 2023). In addition, Colombian field crews continue to discover and sample new mineralized outcrops identified AM-1 through AM 14 targets (Max News Release dated May 25, 2023, and Max News Release dated June 22, 2023).

Conejo District

Located approximately 30-km south from the AM District. It is characterized by structurally controlled mineralization, hosted in intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks. Mineralized outcrops have been discovered over 3.7-km at the primary target area. Surface samples averaged 4.9% copper (with a 2% cut-off). No drilling has been conducted to date.

URU District

Located approximately 60-km south from the AM District. Max has identified 12 targets URU-1 through to URU-12. The mineralization of the URU District is hosted in intermediate volcanic rocks and is structurally controlled. At URU-C, a 9.0m of 7.0% copper and 115 g/t silver surface discovery was confirmed at depth by drill hole URU-12, which intersected 10.6m of 3.4% copper and 48 g/t silver. At the URU-CE target, 750m to the east, 19.0m of 1.3% copper discovered in outcrop was confirmed by drill hole URU-9, which intersected a broad zone of copper oxide returning 33.0m of 0.3% copper from 4.0m, including 16.5m of 0.5% copper (Max News Release date January 24, 2023).
