Cameco’s former Board Chair and former CEO of Claude Resources
assumes Chairmanship of MAX Power’s Board of Directors as the
Company advances the Lawson target and a multi-well Natural Hydrogen
discovery program across 1.3 million permitted acres in Saskatchewan.
Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com
Newswire) MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) is pleased to announce that Mr. Neil
McMillan, a long-time resource and capital markets leader in
Saskatchewan, has assumed Chairmanship of the Board of Directors of
MAX Power, effective immediately, as the Company continues to rapidly
accelerate the Natural Hydrogen sector in Saskatchewan.
Mr. McMillan has played a defining role in shaping
Saskatchewan’s modern resource economy. He served as Chairman of
Cameco Corp. from 2013 to 2018, following 11 years as a director
beginning in 2002. Earlier, as President and CEO of Claude Resources
(1995–2014), he led Saskatchewan’s first gold mining
company, transforming it into a profitable and strategically important
producer. His leadership contributed to Claude’s eventual $337
million buyout by Silver Standard Resources in 2016.
Mr. McMillan, Chairman of the Board of MAX Power, stated:
“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 – Natural
Hydrogen. MAX Power’s early drilling success, the strength of
our team, and the scale of our permitted land position all point to
a generational opportunity for this province. I’m honoured to
serve as Chairman of the Board as MAX Power advances the next phase
of a truly pioneering program.”
Mr. Ran Narayanasamy, CEO of MAX Power, commented:
“As new CEO of MAX Power, I’m elated that Neil is eager
to play an even bigger role on our Board after first joining the
Board early this year. He is highly respected in Saskatchewan and
around the globe, and his wisdom and resource acumen are invaluable
to MAX Power at this key inflection point. His experience helping
guide companies through discovery, development, and value creation
comes at exactly the right time for MAX Power as we advance Lawson,
Bracken and other exciting Natural Hydrogen targets throughout our
Saskatchewan land package. Having Neil as Chairman of the Board
strengthens every dimension of our governance and strategic
oversight. I’m personally thrilled he has agreed to take on
this role as we accelerate toward commercial pathways in this
emerging energy sector.”
McMillan Highlights
With a career spanning both the private and public sectors, Mr.
McMillan has also served as a Director of Atomic Energy of Canada
Ltd., a long-time Director of Star Diamond Corp., Manager of RBC
Dominion Securities in Saskatoon, President of the Saskatoon Chamber
of Commerce, and Member of the Saskatchewan Legislature
(1975–1978). His experience represents an exceptional blend of
financial, operational, and policy expertise at a time when MAX Power
is rapidly expanding its leadership position in the Natural Hydrogen
sector. He became a director of MAX Power in February 2025,
accelerating a major transition for the Company.
Building Saskatchewan’s Natural Hydrogen Sector
Mr. McMillan’s appointment follows a period of rapid recent
operational advancement for MAX Power, including:
Drilling Canada’s first-ever deep well dedicated to Natural
Hydrogen at the Lawson target on the 475-km-long Genesis Trend,
successfully casing it to a total depth of 2,278 meters.
Confirming Natural Hydrogen and helium across multiple horizons,
triggering extensive analytic and completion test phases.
Advancing a fully funded multi-well program, including the Bracken
target 325 km southwest of Lawson.
Expanding the Company’s proprietary Large Earth Model
Integration (MAXX LEMI) platform designed to accelerate target
generation and ranking across Saskatchewan and serving as a potential
global model for exploration and discovery of Natural Hydrogen.
Strengthening global visibility following MAX Power’s
presentation at H-NAT 2025 in Paris, the world’s largest Natural
Hydrogen conference.
As Chairman of the Board, Mr. McMillan will work closely with the
Board and Executive Team to support MAX Power’s rapid scale-up,
corporate development initiatives, and global strategic partnerships
as Saskatchewan emerges as a top-tier Natural Hydrogen jurisdiction.
Why This Matters to Investors
The appointment of Neil McMillan as Chairman of the Board of Directors
of MAX Power adds one of Saskatchewan’s most accomplished
resource leaders to the Company’s Board at a time MAX Power is
entering a critical new phase of its development. With Natural
Hydrogen confirmed at Lawson, follow-up testing in progress and a
multi-well program underway on Canada’s largest permitted
Natural Hydrogen land package, Mr. McMillan’s vast experience
and proven track record will further build the Company’s profile
and brand on a global scale. His involvement strengthens MAX
Power’s ability to move from historic first drilling into
repeatable discovery, development planning, and long-term value
creation across two emerging clean-energy themes – Natural Hydrogen in
Saskatchewan and critical minerals in the United States through its
U.S. subsidiary, Homeland Critical Minerals Corp.
Lawson Update
A service rig has arrived at the Lawson target near Central Butte and
commences operations today. This will include perforation of selected
intervals, collection of gas and fluid samples for detailed chemical
analysis and pressure measurements to begin assessing flow
characteristics, volumes and gas composition.
