REGINA, Saskatchewan, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FSE: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that CEO Ran Narayanasamy will participate this week in a series of strategic meetings and industry presentations in Japan, highlighting growing international interest in the Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery in Saskatchewan and MAX Power’s role in the rapidly emerging Natural Hydrogen sector.
On Thursday, May 28, Mr. Narayanasamy will deliver a featured presentation and participate in an expert panel discussion at the Natural Hydrogen Expert Workshop hosted by JOGMEC (Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security) at its Technology & Research Center in Chiba, Japan. JOGMEC is a Japanese government agency responsible for securing stable supplies of energy and critical mineral resources for Japan through global partnerships, resource development initiatives, and advanced energy research. The workshop is expected to include representatives from more than 50 companies and organizations spanning energy exploration and production, engineering, heavy industry, trading houses, hydrogen end-users, research institutions, and government agencies.
Mr. Narayanasamy, who is supported on his visit by Saskatchewan’s Japan Trade and Investment Office, will also present on Friday, May 29, during the Natural Hydrogen session at the JPGU-AGU Joint Meeting, one of Japan’s leading international geoscience conferences, further highlighting MAX Power’s leadership role in advancing North America’s emerging Natural Hydrogen sector on the global stage.
Mr. Ran Narayanasamy, MAX Power CEO, stated: “There is rapidly growing international interest surrounding the Lawson Discovery and Saskatchewan’s potential to become a global leader in Natural Hydrogen development. These meetings in Japan, which I’m honoured to be at, provide an important opportunity to showcase both the potential scale of the Lawson Complex and the broader Genesis Trend, and the continued advancement of MAXX LEMI, our proprietary AI-assisted exploration platform designed to improve targeting efficiency for Natural Hydrogen systems in Saskatchewan and globally.”
Warrant Exercises
MAX Power is pleased to report that investors exercised a total of 3,529,496 warrants during the first half of Q2, from April 1 through May 15, for total proceeds to the Company of $1,299,328.60.
Why This Matters To Investors
Natural Hydrogen is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most closely watched new energy sectors as governments, industry, and capital markets seek scalable, low-carbon energy solutions capable of supporting rising global demand tied to AI infrastructure, industrial growth, and energy security.
MAX Power’s participation in multiple high-level events in Japan, including a workshop hosted by JOGMEC, reflects growing international recognition of both the Lawson Discovery and Saskatchewan’s strategic position within the emerging Natural Hydrogen industry.
The Company is advancing Canada’s first confirmed subsurface Natural Hydrogen system while simultaneously developing MAXX LEMI, an AI-assisted exploration platform designed to improve targeting, scalability, and repeatability across the broader 475-km Genesis Trend, elsewhere in Saskatchewan, and potentially other Natural Hydrogen basins globally.
This combination of discovery, technology, infrastructure proximity, and growing international attention positions MAX Power at the forefront of a rapidly evolving new energy category.
