MAX Power Appoints VC Veteran Bowering to Advance Natural Hydrogen Drilling

MAX Power Mining Corp. has significantly strengthened its leadership team by appointing veteran venture capitalist Andrew "Andy" Bowering as a Special Advisor, bringing over three decades of capital markets and mineral development expertise to the company's Advisory Board. Bowering's impressive track record includes co-founding Millennial Lithium Corp., which was sold for C$491 million, and guiding Prime Mining Corp. through a C$449 million transaction with Torex Gold Resources Inc. This strategic appointment comes at a crucial time as MAX Power advances Canada's first multi-well Natural Hydrogen drill program while simultaneously building its global presence in the emerging hydrogen sector. The company's Advisory Board, chaired by Brent Dunlop and supported by Bradley S. Sylvester and Tom Sandison, now combines geological, engineering, and financial expertise to drive MAX Power's ambitious exploration initiatives.

The company has established a dominant position in the rapidly growing Natural Hydrogen sector with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen. High priority initial drill target areas have been identified, with drilling scheduled to commence in Q4 2025. MAX Power is also evaluating strategic options to unlock value from its Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona, where the company made a significant diamond drilling discovery in 2024. As an innovative mineral exploration company focused on North America's shift to decarbonization, MAX Power represents a first mover in the Natural Hydrogen space while maintaining a diverse portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals essential for the clean energy transition.

This development is part of MAX Power's broader strategy to position itself at the forefront of the energy transition through the Investor Brand Network and its Dynamic Brand Portfolio, which provides comprehensive corporate communications solutions including enhanced press release distribution, article syndication to 5,000+ outlets, and social media distribution to millions of followers. The company's progress can be tracked through MiningNewsWire, a specialized communications platform within the IBN network that focuses on developments and opportunities in the Global Mining and Resources sectors, ensuring investors and stakeholders remain informed about MAX Power's groundbreaking work in natural hydrogen exploration and critical minerals development.
