SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MAX Power Mining Corp.

MAX Power is a finalist for the Hydrogen Project Award and the Digital Innovation Award, while CEO Ran Narayanasamy is a finalist for the Emerging Hydrogen Leader Award. In addition, Mr. Narayanasamy will moderate the event’s first-ever panel discussion on Natural Hydrogen (Naturally Occurring Hydrogen – Exploring Canada’s Potential) which will include MAX Power Chief Geoscientist Steve Halabura and other experts on the second day of the event, April 22.

- Emerging Hydrogen Leader (Ran Narayanasamy, one of eight finalists)
Mr. Narayanasamy, commented:
We’re humbled by this recognition, and I congratulate our team for its hard work and accomplishments.
”Our Saskatchewan Natural Hydrogen Project has put MAX Power in a position to make Canada the global birthplace of large-scale Natural Hydrogen commercialization, a project of potential nation-building scope as we discussed with officials in Ottawa last week. As we proceed through our program of analytical testing, resource modelling and estimation at the Lawson Discovery on the Genesis Trend, ahead of our confirmatory well, we’ve already started our second well 325 km to the southwest at Bracken on the Grasslands Project. With 1.3 million permitted acres and 5.7 million acres under application, we have the scale, the geology, the team, and MAXX LEMI to lead the world in the exploration and development of this emerging new primary energy source.”
Mr. Neil McMillan, Chairman of the Board of MAX Power, commented:
Ran as finalist for Emerging Leader is a testament to the groundbreaking work he has done with MAX Power in just his first few months as CEO after joining us from the globally recognized Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) where his clean energy leadership spanned several sectors including hydrogen.
”The Canadian Hydrogen Convention is a major event, and we look forward to championing the Natural Hydrogen sector to the many thousands of attendees.”
