REGINA, Saskatchewan, June 09, 2026 -- MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FSE: 89N) ("MAX Power" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its participation in the 2026 Global Energy Show Canada, taking place June 9-11 at Calgary's BMO Centre, where the Company will highlight its leadership position in the rapidly emerging Natural Hydrogen sector and showcase recent advancements at its flagship Lawson Project in the heart of the 475-km Genesis Trend in Saskatchewan.

MAX Power is exhibiting as part of the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP) Pavilion at Booth #347.

As one of North America's largest energy gatherings, the Global Energy Show is expected to welcome more than 30,000 attendees, 500 exhibitors, and delegates from over 100 countries, bringing together leaders across energy, infrastructure, technology, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, and capital markets.

MAX Power will maintain a strong presence throughout the conference as industry attention increasingly shifts toward the intersection of energy security, artificial intelligence, power infrastructure, and emerging clean energy systems.

The Company's participation includes:

June 9
Executive Leadership Roundtable
Data Centres, AI & Industrial Electrification: Powering Canada's Digital Economy
2:30 pm - 3:15 pm
Ran Narayanasamy, CEO

June 10 (1:00 pm - 4:30 pm)
Canada-China Council Energy Innovation & Investment Forum
Next-Generation Energy Systems: Infrastructure, Electrification & AI
Panelist: Ran Narayanasamy, CEO

June 11 (11:30 am - 2:30 pm)
Global Energy Show Canada Awards Luncheon

MAX Power has been selected as a finalist for the Emerging Clean Technologies Award (Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery), recognizing innovative technologies advancing efficiency, sustainability, and environmental performance within the energy sector. The award will be presented during the Global Energy Show Awards Luncheon where MAX Power will be recognized alongside other innovators helping shape the future of sustainable energy development.

This year's Global Energy Show comes at a pivotal moment in the development of the Natural Hydrogen industry following the confirmation of Canada's first subsurface Natural Hydrogen system at Lawson and the completion of high-resolution 3D seismic imaging across the broader 28 sq. km Lawson Complex. The seismic program materially advanced MAX Power's understanding of the interpreted scale, continuity, structural architecture, and commercial development potential of the system, triggering a near-term multi-well follow-up drill program aimed at confirming the world's first-ever large-scale commercial discovery of Natural Hydrogen.

Global attention is increasingly focused on how rapidly growing AI infrastructure, data centre expansion, industrial electrification, and energy security priorities will reshape future power demand. Industry participants are actively evaluating scalable, reliable, and low-emission energy solutions capable of supporting the next generation of digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and industrial growth.

MAX Power believes Natural Hydrogen will play an increasingly important role in that dialogue.

Ran Narayanasamy, CEO of MAX Power, commented:

"The global energy conversation is changing rapidly. Artificial intelligence, industrial electrification, energy security, and infrastructure deployment are creating unprecedented demand for scalable, reliable power systems. Natural Hydrogen has the potential to become an important part of that future. Our participation at the Global Energy Show reflects both the progress we have made in Saskatchewan and the growing recognition that Natural Hydrogen is evolving from a scientific concept into a potentially significant new energy industry. We look forward to engaging with industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and technology innovators as we continue advancing what we believe could become one of the world's most important emerging energy opportunities."

The Company expects the conference to provide a valuable platform to engage with strategic partners, government stakeholders, local and international infrastructure developers, technology providers, and retail and institutional investors as MAX Power continues advancing commercial evaluation activities at the Lawson Complex, leading to a near-term multi-well follow-up drill program.
