Maximum problem for Minesweeper?

In the game of mine sweeper, the large version plays on a 16 x 30 grid. In a custom version, using a 45 x 36 grid, how would you place the 99 bombs to maximize the sum of the clue numbers - telling how many bombs are adjacent to the empty square? How about 99 bombs on the 16 x 30 grid?

Update:

Sorry the clue numbers tell how many bombs (mines) are adjacent to it.
