VANCOUVER, Canada (July 5, 2023) – MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) (FRANKFURT: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) has commenced field exploration targeting lithium-rich pegmatites in Nunavik, Quebec, where the Company to date has assembled a 306 sq. km land package covering the Raglan West and New Leaf districts. MAX has partnered with GroundTruth Exploration whose logistical expertise, state-of-the-art technology and highly trained crews for Nunavik will heighten discovery possibilities in a vast area that comprises the top third of Quebec.

For the first time, under-explored Nunavik is the focus of an intense multi-company campaign to discover spodumene-bearing lithium deposits in a prospective geological environment outside the large Cape Smith Belt hosting one of the world’s premier nickel mines at Raglan. Historically mapped pegmatites outside this famous nickel belt have never been previously tested for lithium. In addition, the Quebec government database shows that in these massive district-scale areas, Nunavik hosts the highest values and concentrations of lithium and cesium in lake bottom sediments in the entire province.

Exploration Strategy Highlights:

Crews will conduct a first-pass sweep this month of MAX Power’s 184 sq. km Spark Property in the New Leaf Camp in southern Nunavik (refer to Figure 1), followed by a first-pass sweep of MAX’s strategic Raglan West holdings. Both areas feature abundant outcrop;

  • Phase 1 will include mapping, prospecting and sampling, and will prioritize prospective pegmatite zones for Phase 2 follow-up including drilling this summer;
  • An historically mapped pegmatite structure at the Spark Property, exposed intermittently for a distance of approximately 3 km and 300 meters in width, is an early focus of attention.
  • Mr. Peter Lauder, MAX Power Senior Geologist and Exploration Manager, and member of the Order of Quebec Geologists, commented, "We’re incredibly excited about Nunavik’s lithium potential. We have a well-planned program that will cover a lot of ground in just the next few weeks. This is how discoveries are made.”

Mr. Rav Mlait, MAX Power CEO, added: “With Quebec hard rock lithium, Arizona brine/clay lithium, and a technology component focused on disruptive approaches to lithium brine extraction headed by preeminent American research scientists Dr. Brett Helms and Dr. Michael Whitaker at Berkeley, MAX begins the second half of 2023 with some very significant near-term potential catalysts to drive shareholder value.”

Forward-Looking Cautionary Statement
This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, relating to exploration, drilling, mineralization and historical results on the Properties; the interpretation of drilling and assay results, the initiation of and the results thereby of any future drilling program, mineralization and the discovery mineralization (if any); plans for future exploration and drilling and the timing of same; the merits of the Property and the Nunavik region, generally; the potential for lithium within the Properties; commentary as it related to the opportune timing to explore lithium exploration and any anticipated increasing demand for lithium; future press releases by the Company; funding of any future drilling program; regulatory approval, including but not limited to the CSE. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
