On this claim 3 pits were hand dug and samples sent for analysis to SGS Geosol Laboratorios LTDA, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The 3 assays results were received and analyses details were announced by the Company in a news release on April 28th. The samples returned the following assay values; MLB-01 52.9% Mn, MLB-02 55.9% Mn and MLB-03 51.5% Mn. Juina #1 exploration will file a Guia application in the first quarter. The company is now beginning further research exploration on the 3 remaining claims of approximately 30,000 contiguous hectares in Mato Grosso.

In-country strategic partners Maringa Ferro-Liga S.A. visited the Brasnorte Project in December and were pleased with the topography and geology. Maxtech will report on their findings once finalized.
