    VANCOUVER, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V:
MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) is pleased to announce that drilling has
begun on the Howell gold project located in south-eastern British Columbia.

    The Howell Gold Project is comprised of 4,376 hectares located one hour
by gravel road south of the town of Sparwood, straddling the drainages of
Twenty-Nine Mile Creek and Howell Creek.

    At Howell Creek, gold mineralization occurs disseminated in limestone
and with quartz stockworks in syenite intrusives and Proterozoic sediments.
Prior drilling has included 1.23 g/t gold over 58 metres, 0.95 g/t gold
over 39 metres, 0.65 g/t gold over 82 metres, and 0.57 g/t gold over 149
metres. A diamond drill hole from 2006, collared to the west of the surface
expression of the important Palaeozoic limestone, penetrated a near surface
fault and intersected 43 metres of limestone grading 0.42 g/t gold to the
bottom of the hole at 66 metres. The last sample in this hole graded 0.44
g/t gold indicating a need to drill deeper and test the target along
strike; the first hole of the current program will deepen this hole to
approximately 200 metres.

    An important additional target which will be tested in the current
program is Carbonate Replacement Deposit ("CRD") style mineralization in
the general vicinity of hole HRC-15 (located 1,100 metres to the west of
the first hole of the current program), drilled by Placer Dome Inc. in
1988, which intersected 7.6 metres grading 51.5 g/t silver, 1.98% lead,
1.87% zinc, and 0.32 g/t gold.

    MAX plans to drill a minimum of 1,000 meters at Howell, which is one of
two exploration projects in British Columbia recently optioned from
Eastfield Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:ETF) as announced in our news release of
June 9, 2008.

    This news release has been reviewed by Mr. Clancy J. Wendt, P. Geo, a
qualified person as that term is defined under National Instrument 43-101.
