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.

He 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. This appointment comes at a critical time as MAX Power positions itself as a first mover in the rapidly growing Natural Hydrogen sector where it has built a dominant district scale land position with approximately 1.3 million acres of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen.

The company's high priority initial drill target areas have been identified for commencement of drilling in Q4 2025, making Bowering's extensive experience in guiding resource companies through major transactions particularly valuable. His track record with Millennial Lithium Corp., which was acquired for C$491 million, demonstrates his ability to help build substantial value in mineral exploration companies and navigate complex corporate transactions.

MAX Power's diversified portfolio includes 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 addition of Bowering to the advisory team signals the company's commitment to leveraging top-tier financial and strategic expertise as it advances both its natural hydrogen and lithium projects simultaneously.

The appointment reflects MAX Power's strategic approach to building a balanced team with expertise across geological, engineering and financial disciplines to support its ambitious exploration programs. With natural hydrogen emerging as a promising clean energy source and lithium remaining critical for battery technologies, the company's dual focus positions it to capitalize on two key components of the global transition to decarbonization. Bowering's experience in guiding companies through significant valuation growth and major transactions could prove instrumental as MAX Power advances its exploration programs and considers strategic options for its asset portfolio.
