MAX Power Mining has appointed longtime Saskatchewan resource and capital markets leader Neil McMillan as Chairman of the Board as the Company accelerates its Natural Hydrogen initiatives across the province. This appointment comes at a pivotal stage for MAX Power, which has advanced early drilling success and maintains a large permitted land position. McMillan, former Chairman of Cameco and past President and CEO of Claude Resources, brings decades of financial, operational, and policy expertise to the role.
The Company's leadership states that McMillan's expanded role strengthens governance and strategic oversight as MAX Power advances Natural Hydrogen targets at Lawson, Bracken, and other key areas. This move is significant because it positions an experienced Saskatchewan mining executive to guide a company that has built a dominant district-scale land position covering approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits. These permits cover prime exploration ground prospective for large volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen, a resource gaining attention in North America's shift to decarbonization.
MAX Power is a first mover in the rapidly growing Natural Hydrogen sector, with high priority initial drill target areas identified for commencement of drilling in Q4 2025. The company also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona. The appointment of McMillan provides strategic direction as the company prepares for this significant drilling campaign.
