MAX Power Mining Corp. announced that it has entered into a Strategic Alliance with Chapman Hydrogen and Petroleum Engineering Ltd. ("Chapman") of Calgary, Alberta, specifically targeting the first Natural Hydrogen discoveries in Canada. Highlights: The Strategic Alliance with Chapman positions MAX Power as first-mover leader among publicly traded companies in the emerging North American Natural Hydrogen sector; Mr. Denis Briere, Chapman's VP-Engineering, is recognized as one of the world's leading petrophysicists and played a key role in the world's first Natural Hydrogen discovery; The MAX Power-Chapman alliance is identifying, prioritizing, acquiring and preparing to explore the best Natural Hydrogen targets across Canada, while MAX Power also fast tracks its U.S. strategy.

Chapman helped confirm the world's first discovery of an accumulation of Natural Hydrogen gas in Mali, West Africa, last decade. That discovery, which quickly provided low-cost, emissions-free electricity for an entire village, was supported by the world's first-ever Hydrogen NI 51-101 report written by Chapman's Denis Briere. Benefits of Natural Hydrogen: Accumulates naturally under the ground, generated by geological processes; Low carbon intensity - significantly lower emissions compared to manufactured hydrogen, 99% of which involves a mix of fossil fuels; "End product" under the ground removes costly technological processes involved in manufactured hydrogen; Accumulations of Natural Hydrogen gas with dynamic flow rates have the potential to replenish perpetually; Very environmentally friendly - the purest, greenest hydrogen possible; Natural Hydrogen can be produced with no external energy or water inputs; Does not require fracking or hydraulic stimulation to be produced; Minimal surface disruption.
