MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that the company and CEO Ran Narayanasamy have been selected as finalists for three awards to be presented at the 2026 Canadian Hydrogen Convention in Edmonton, scheduled for April 21-23. MAX Power is a finalist for both the Hydrogen Project Award and the Digital Innovation Award, while 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 role in advancing its Saskatchewan Natural Hydrogen Project.
The recognition underscores MAX Power’s position as a first mover in the rapidly growing natural hydrogen sector. The company has built dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits, plus an additional 5.7 million acres under application, covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. Canada’s first-ever well specifically targeting natural hydrogen has been drilled by MAX Power at the Lawson target on the Genesis Trend, confirming a working subsurface system.
In addition to its hydrogen focus, MAX Power holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals. These properties are highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, 100%-owned by MAX Power’s U.S. subsidiary Homeland Critical Minerals Corp.
The convention’s awards and panel discussions are expected to draw significant attention to the natural hydrogen sector, which is seen as a key component of the global shift to decarbonization. MAX Power’s nominations reflect its innovative approach and early success in an emerging industry.
