Will study Maxwell's Raton Basin holdings and provide Maxwell with 43-101 Reserve Report

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 7, 2012 - RATON, NEW MEXICO - Maxwell Resources, Inc.  (www.MaxwellRe.com) has engaged the services of engineering/environmental consulting firm Golder Associates to study the 170,000 acres in the Raton Basin to which Maxwell owns mineral rights (fee simple) and then provide a 43-101 reserve report.

Maxwell is exploring the Raton Basin based upon a 1991 USGS survey authored by USGS geologist, the late Charles "Chuck" Pillmore, which found that the Raton Basin may contain an abundance of high-grade metallurgical (coking) coal, an energy source that's essential to the manufacture of iron ore and steel.

In addition, a 2005 USGS survey of the same region found that even more high-grade coal could be under the Raton Basin than was previously estimated.

Maxwell possesses fee-simple mineral rights to 170,000 acres within the Raton Basin

Surveys also indicate the Basin may be a great source for gold, silver and other rare and valuable earth minerals.

 "We hired Golder based on their size and capacity," said Phillip Dias, Maxwell's President and CEO. "They'll be able to do it all, from the proving up, to the permitting, to full drilling approvals. Plus, they're located in Denver and with the Basin just below the Colorado/New Mexico border, so their proximity was a selling point, as well."

Golder Associates (www.Golder.com) is an employee-owned, global consulting, design and construction services firm which specializes in the areas of earth, environment and related areas of energy.  Golder is known world-wide as a company which provides innovative, quality solutions in areas including, but not limited to, geotechnical engineering, environmental compliance and remediation.

Its mining consulting services include mine permitting, environmental baseline studies, social impact assessments, and archeology; surface and underground mine design, geostatistics, block modeling, grade control, pit slope design, ground control, backfill design, and ventilation; hydrogeology, geochemistry and water management; tailings and slurry pipeline engineering;  and much more.

Golder will research the Raton Basin based upon the USGS studies as well as others performed by Maxwell's geologists, Jay Leaver and Roy Pillmore.  Its research and reports will take place in three phases:

Phase 1, which Dias expects will be completed in March 2013, will study the Basin to pinpoint the locations that will provide the best return on investment. This part of Golder's work also will entail looking at the big picture: transportation/access issues (if any), how large the best mineral/coal fields might be (and how extractable they are), permitting issues, the market price of coal, gold, silver, etc.

Phase 2 will begin in spring 2013, when Golder will oversee drilling at certain spots in order to analyze coal samples to ascertain the quality and quantity of coal. Management believes this phase should be complete by about September 2013.

Phase 3 will be the compilation of the 43-101 report that Golder will provide to Maxwell. Stringent parameters within the 43-101 must be met before Maxwell can call the coal and/or mineral deposits within its fee-simple ownership as reserves. Designating the deposits Maxwell's control as reserves confirms that its holdings are mineable, according to Dias.

Phase 3 should be complete by December 2013 or January 2014, Dias said.
