MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has been named a finalist for three awards at the 2026 Canadian Hydrogen Convention, scheduled for April 21-23 in Edmonton. The company is a finalist for the Hydrogen Project Award and the Digital Innovation Award, while CEO Ran Narayanasamy has been nominated for the Emerging Hydrogen Leader Award. Narayanasamy will also moderate the convention's first panel discussion on natural hydrogen exploration in Canada on April 22, highlighting the company's leadership in advancing its Saskatchewan Natural Hydrogen Project.
This recognition positions MAX Power as a key player in the rapidly growing natural hydrogen sector. The company is a first mover with dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan, holding approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits, plus an additional 5.7 million acres under application. These properties cover prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. Canada's first-ever well specifically targeting natural hydrogen was drilled by MAX Power at the Lawson target on the Genesis Trend, confirming a working subsurface system. The company's innovative approach and digital advancements have earned it a spot among finalists for the Digital Innovation Award, reflecting its use of technology in exploration.
The Emerging Hydrogen Leader Award nomination for CEO Ran Narayanasamy underscores his role in driving MAX Power's strategic vision. His moderation of the natural hydrogen panel at the convention further establishes the company's thought leadership. Beyond hydrogen, MAX Power holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, including the 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, 100%-owned by its U.S. subsidiary Homeland Critical Minerals Corp.
