MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has appointed Tony Van Burgsteden as chief financial officer, effective immediately, as the company advances toward commercial evaluation of its Saskatchewan Natural Hydrogen platform. Van Burgsteden, a member of the company’s board and former CFO of Orano Canada, succeeds Ryan Cheung, who has served as CFO since June 2025.
Van Burgsteden brings extensive financial and executive experience in the resource sector. His tenure at Orano Canada, a major uranium producer, positions him to guide MAX Power through the next phase of development. The company’s focus on Natural Hydrogen, a potential clean energy source, has gained traction following the confirmation of Canada’s first subsurface Natural Hydrogen system at the Lawson Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, through deep drilling and validation by three independent labs.
MAX Power 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. The company also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, 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.
The appointment comes as the company prepares for commercial evaluation, which could position it as a key player in the emerging Natural Hydrogen industry. Natural hydrogen, also known as white hydrogen, is generated naturally through geological processes and offers a potentially low-carbon energy source. MAX Power’s extensive land holdings in Saskatchewan provide a significant advantage in exploring and developing this resource.
