(MENAFN- Investor Ideas) Investorideas ( Newswire) MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) is pleased to announce that Mr. Neil McMillan, a long-time resource and capital markets leader in Saskatchewan, has assumed Chairmanship of the Board of Directors of MAX Power, effective immediately, as the Company continues to rapidly accelerate the Natural Hydrogen sector in Saskatchewan.

Mr. McMillan has played a defining role in shaping Saskatchewan's modern resource economy. He served as Chairman of Cameco Corp. from 2013 to 2018, following 11 years as a director beginning in 2002. Earlier, as President and CEO of Claude Resources (1995–2014), he led Saskatchewan's first gold mining company, transforming it into a profitable and strategically important producer. His leadership contributed to Claude's eventual $337 million buyout by Silver Standard Resources in 2016.

Mr. McMillan, Chairman of the Board of MAX Power, stated:

McMillan Highlights

With a career spanning both the private and public sectors, Mr. McMillan has also served as a Director of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., a long-time Director of Star Diamond Corp., Manager of RBC Dominion Securities in Saskatoon, President of the Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce, and Member of the Saskatchewan Legislature (1975–1978). His experience represents an exceptional blend of financial, operational, and policy expertise at a time when MAX Power is rapidly expanding its leadership position in the Natural Hydrogen sector. He became a director of MAX Power in February 2025, accelerating a major transition for the Company.

Building Saskatchewan's Natural Hydrogen Sector

Mr. McMillan's appointment follows a period of rapid recent operational advancement for MAX Power, including:

Drilling Canada's first-ever deep well dedicated to Natural Hydrogen at the Lawson target on the 475-km-long Genesis Trend, successfully casing it to a total depth of 2,278 meters.

Confirming Natural Hydrogen and helium across multiple horizons, triggering extensive analytic and completion test phases.

Advancing a fully funded multi-well program, including the Bracken target 325 km southwest of Lawson.

Expanding the Company's proprietary Large Earth Model Integration (MAXX LEMI) platform designed to accelerate target generation and ranking across Saskatchewan and serving as a potential global model for exploration and discovery of Natural Hydrogen.

Strengthening global visibility following MAX Power's presentation at H-NAT 2025 in Paris, the world's largest Natural Hydrogen conference.

As Chairman of the Board, Mr. McMillan will work closely with the Board and Executive Team to support MAX Power's rapid scale-up, corporate development initiatives, and global strategic partnerships as Saskatchewan emerges as a top-tier Natural Hydrogen jurisdiction.

Why This Matters to Investors

The appointment of Neil McMillan as Chairman of the Board of Directors of MAX Power adds one of Saskatchewan's most accomplished resource leaders to the Company's Board at a time MAX Power is entering a critical new phase of its development. With Natural Hydrogen confirmed at Lawson, follow-up testing in progress and a multi-well program underway on Canada's largest permitted Natural Hydrogen land package, Mr. McMillan's vast experience and proven track record will further build the Company's profile and brand on a global scale. His involvement strengthens MAX Power's ability to move from historic first drilling into repeatable discovery, development planning, and long-term value creation across two emerging clean-energy themes - Natural Hydrogen in Saskatchewan and critical minerals in the United States through its U.S. subsidiary, Homeland Critical Minerals Corp.

Lawson Update

A service rig has arrived at the Lawson target near Central Butte and commences operations today. This will include perforation of selected intervals, collection of gas and fluid samples for detailed chemical analysis and pressure measurements to begin assessing flow characteristics, volumes and gas composition.
