VANCOUVER - The former Chairman of Cameco Corporation has a new role on the board of MAX Power Mining Corporation,
The Vancouver-based company announced in a news release that Neil McMillan has joined the MAX Power Board of Directors, effective immediately. He joins the mineral exploration company as an independent director, and also has been appointed Chair of the Company’s Audit Committee.
McMillan was on the Cameco board starting in 2002 and was Chairman of the Board of Cameco from 2013 until his final year on the board in 2018. He also was a former board member of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., and President and CEO of Claude Resources from 1995 to 2014.
McMillan also spent years in the financial sector at RBC Dominion Securities in Saskatoon and was former President of the Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce and an MLA from 1975 to 1978.
“MAX Power has a unique opportunity to do something extraordinary in the resource sector in terms of both exploration and development of a critical new element, Natural Hydrogen," McMillan said in a news release.
"Saskatchewan is already a world leader in uranium and potash, so there’s no reason it can’t become a world leader in Natural Hydrogen as our experts have confirmed the geological recipe exists. No Canadian province is more advanced in its policy framework for Natural Hydrogen than Saskatchewan. The team we have assembled to make things happen is best-in-class, and the property potential is enormous, so get ready for an exciting new stage in MAX Power’s development and Saskatchewan’s resource leadership.”
“Having Neil on our Board of Directors speaks to the transformational moment MAX Power has arrived at as we target the discovery of the first commercial concentration of Natural Hydrogen in North America in the pro-business, pro-energy province of Saskatchewan," said Mansoor Jan, MAX Power CEO, in a statement.
"Neil has enjoyed a dynamic career spanning several decades in the investment industry, mining and government, including 16 years on the board of Cameco and six years as Chairman of the Board for Cameco. I’m delighted to have Neil join the MAX Power Board of Directors and I’m confident that in this expanded role with the Company he’ll help deliver very positive impacts for shareholders.”
