MAX Power Mining Strengthens Advisory Board with Appointment of Veteran Venture Capitalist Andy Bowering

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 to the role, including co-founding Millennial Lithium Corp., which 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, representing one of the most significant early-stage natural hydrogen exploration programs in North America.

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. This strengthened advisory team will be particularly valuable as the company also evaluates strategic options to unlock value from its Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona. The Willcox Playa project gained significance following a 2024 diamond drilling discovery that highlighted MAX Power's portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals.

The addition of Bowering's expertise signals MAX Power's commitment to accelerating its natural hydrogen exploration while maximizing value across its broader mineral portfolio. His track record in guiding companies through major transactions and capital raises provides MAX Power with additional credibility in financial markets as the company seeks to fund its ambitious exploration programs. The timing of this appointment coincides with growing global interest in natural hydrogen as a clean energy source, positioning MAX Power at the forefront of this emerging sector.
