REGINA, Saskatchewan, June 02, 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, who highlighted MAX Power’s Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery at resource events in Japan last week, will be attending the 11th annual Washington Energy Summit this Wednesday and Thursday, June 3-4, at the historic Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C.
This invitation-only summit is widely recognized as one of North America's premier energy leadership forums, bringing together U.S. Senators, Members of Congress, senior government officials, global energy executives, technology leaders, investors, and policymakers for high-level, off-the-record discussions focused on the future of energy, infrastructure, national security, and economic competitiveness.
This year's theme, “Running the World on Energy: Volatility, Technology, and the American Moment,” aligns closely with MAX Power's vision for Natural Hydrogen as a scalable, North American-sourced and Saskatchewan-led energy solution capable of supporting the rapidly growing demands of AI infrastructure, industrial development, and long-term energy security. The summit provides a unique opportunity to engage directly with key decision makers and industry leaders shaping North America's energy future while highlighting the strategic role Natural Hydrogen may play in addressing growing energy demand and strengthening energy independence.
MAX Power's attendance reflects the increasing recognition and importance of the Lawson Discovery in the heart of the 475-km Genesis Trend, and the Company's leadership role within the emerging Natural Hydrogen sector. As global interest in Natural Hydrogen continues to accelerate, MAX Power remains focused on positioning itself at the intersection of energy innovation, resource development, and next-generation infrastructure.
Warrant Exercise
MAX Power is pleased to announce that its second-largest shareholder, Big Energy (an affiliate of Vietnam-based Bitexco), has delivered a notice of exercise with respect to its outstanding warrants. Upon completion, the warrant exercise is anticipated to provide approximately $3,750,000 in gross proceeds to the Company’s treasury through the issuance of 8,333,333 shares. This will also increase Big Energy’s ownership position in MAX Power to 24,999,999 shares, or just under 15% of the total issued and outstanding shares following the exercise of these warrants based on the current share structure. MAX Power views Big Energy’s accelerated warrant exercise as a strong endorsement of the Company’s long-term strategy, technical advancement at Lawson, and broader commercialization vision within the emerging Natural Hydrogen sector.
MAX Power currently has 49,152,481 warrants outstanding. Of those, 67.1% are held by the Company’s two largest investors, Mr. Eric Sprott (24,638,548) through 2176423 Ontario (a corporation wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Sprott), and Big Energy (8,333,333).
MAX Power Completes Successful Visit to Japan
MAX Power CEO Ran Narayanasamy represented MAX Power on the international stage in Japan late last week, highlighting the growing global interest in the Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery and Saskatchewan’s emergence as a leader in this sector. The visit included strategic meetings with JOGMEC (Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security), as well as a featured presentation and expert panel discussion at the Natural Hydrogen Expert Workshop hosted at the JOGMEC Technology & Research Centre in Chiba.
Ran was also honoured to meet with representatives from the Embassy of Canada in Tokyo, Saskatchewan’s Trade and Investment Office, and leading Japanese energy companies including JERA, Japan’s largest power producer, and JAPEX, one of Japan’s premier exploration and production companies among many others.
Supported by Saskatchewan Trade Officer Hideyuki Yamamoto and Trade Commissioner Mahoka Maekawa, the mission provided an opportunity to showcase the scale and potential of the Lawson Discovery, the Genesis Trend, and MAXX LEMI - the Company’s proprietary AI-assisted exploration platform.
The week concluded with participation in an international panel discussion alongside Natural Hydrogen leaders from France and presentations at one of Japan’s leading geoscience conferences.
As global attention toward Natural Hydrogen continues to accelerate, MAX Power is increasingly being recognized as a leader in this emerging sector while advancing the Lawson Complex toward commercial evaluation and helping position Saskatchewan at the forefront of next-generation energy and infrastructure development.
