MAX Power Mining Appoints Veteran Venture Capitalist Andy Bowering as Special Advisor

MAX Power Mining has appointed longtime venture capitalist Andrew "Andy" Bowering as a Special Advisor, strengthening its Advisory Board as the Company advances Canada's first multi-well Natural Hydrogen drill program and builds its global presence in the sector. Bowering brings more than 30 years of capital markets and mineral development experience, including co-founding Millennial Lithium Corp., sold for C$491 million, and helping guide Prime Mining Corp. through a C$449 million transaction with Torex Gold Resources Inc.

The appointment comes at a critical time for MAX Power as the company positions itself as a first mover in the rapidly growing Natural Hydrogen sector. The company has built a dominant district scale land position 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 for commencement of drilling in Q4 2025, making Bowering's timing particularly strategic.

Bowering joins an Advisory Board chaired by Brent Dunlop and supported by Bradley S. Sylvester and Tom Sandison, providing MAX Power with geological, engineering and financial expertise as the Company also evaluates strategic options to unlock value from its Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona. The Willcox Playa Lithium Project represents another significant asset for the company, highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery in southeast Arizona.

MAX Power is an innovative mineral exploration company focused on North America's shift to decarbonization. The company's dual focus on Natural Hydrogen and critical minerals positions it at the forefront of the energy transition. Natural Hydrogen represents an emerging energy source with significant potential for clean energy production, and MAX Power's extensive land position in this sector could prove strategically valuable as global demand for clean energy alternatives continues to grow.

The addition of Bowering to the advisory team brings proven transaction experience and capital markets knowledge that could be instrumental in advancing both the Natural Hydrogen and lithium projects. His track record with Millennial Lithium Corp., which was acquired for nearly half a billion dollars, demonstrates his ability to help build and position companies for successful outcomes in the resource sector. This experience will be valuable as MAX Power continues to develop its portfolio of projects and seeks to maximize shareholder value through strategic development and potential partnerships.
