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

MAX Power Mining has appointed veteran venture capitalist Andrew "Andy" Bowering as a Special Advisor, significantly strengthening the company's advisory board as it advances Canada's first multi-well natural hydrogen drill program. Bowering brings more than 30 years of capital markets and mineral development experience to the role, including co-founding Millennial Lithium Corp., which was 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 builds its global presence in the natural hydrogen sector. Bowering joins an advisory board chaired by Brent Dunlop and supported by Bradley S. Sylvester and Tom Sandison, providing the company with comprehensive geological, engineering and financial expertise. This strengthened advisory team will support MAX Power's evaluation of strategic options to unlock value from its Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona, where the company made a diamond drilling discovery in 2024.

MAX Power has positioned itself as a first mover in the rapidly growing natural hydrogen sector, having built a dominant district-scale land position with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground. The company has identified high-priority initial drill target areas for commencement of drilling in Q4 2025, targeting large volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. This strategic focus aligns with North America's broader shift toward decarbonization, making natural hydrogen exploration increasingly important for clean energy transition.

The addition of Bowering's expertise is particularly significant given his track record in successful mineral development and corporate transactions. His experience with major transactions in the lithium sector, including the C$491 million sale of Millennial Lithium Corp., provides valuable insight for MAX Power's own lithium project development.

This appointment represents a strategic move for MAX Power as it positions itself at the forefront of natural hydrogen exploration while simultaneously advancing its critical minerals portfolio. The combination of Bowering's capital markets expertise with the existing advisory board's technical knowledge creates a strong foundation for the company's dual focus on natural hydrogen and lithium development, potentially accelerating both exploration programs and strategic partnership opportunities in the evolving clean energy sector.
