MAX Power appoints Neil McMillan as board chairman

MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) announced that Neil McMillan has assumed the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective immediately.

McMillan previously served as Chairman of Cameco Corp. from 2013 to 2018 and was a director for 11 years beginning in 2002. He also served as President and CEO of Claude Resources from 1995 to 2014, leading the company through its eventual $337 million acquisition by Silver Standard Resources in 2016.

The appointment comes as MAX Power continues its natural hydrogen exploration program in Saskatchewan. The company recently drilled its first deep well targeting natural hydrogen at the Lawson site, reaching a total depth of 2,278 meters and confirming natural hydrogen and helium across multiple horizons.

"Saskatchewan has always been a province where innovation and resource development go hand-in-hand. MAX Power is now at the forefront of what I believe could become one of the most consequential new sectors in the resource space in decades," McMillan stated.

MAX Power holds approximately 1.3 million acres of permits in Saskatchewan for natural hydrogen exploration. The company has begun completion testing at its Lawson target with a service rig commencing operations, including perforation of selected intervals and collection of gas and fluid samples.

McMillan joined MAX Power's board in February 2025. His background includes serving as a Director of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., Manager of RBC Dominion Securities in Saskatoon, and Member of the Saskatchewan Legislature from 1975-1978.

The company also operates critical minerals projects in the United States through its subsidiary Homeland Critical Minerals Corp., including the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona.
