MXG Maxim Power Corp

Maxim Power Corp. ("MAXIM" or the "Corporation") (TSX:MXG) announced today that the Alberta Energy and Resources Conservation Board ("ERCB") has issued Approval No. C 2013-3 to MAXIM's wholly owned subsidiary, Milner Power Inc., to construct and operate a coal beneficiation plant in proximity to the Milner generating station. MAXIM now has all necessary environmental approvals to construct and operate a coal beneficiation facility.

The new coal beneficiation plant, designated by the ERCB as Coal Processing Plant No. 11, will be used to bifurcate coal mined from the MAXIM's Summit Coal Mine 14 into a high-quality, low-mid volatile, metallurgical coal for shipment to export markets, and a fuel grade coal suitable for power production at the Milner generating station. The planned new beneficiation plant is capable of processing run-of-mine coal at a rate of 1.3 million tonnes per annum.

MAXIM considers its Summit Coal resources, which are comprised of Mine 14 and Mine 16S, to be valuable strategic assets. Mine 14 is a fully permitted mine that will be located north of Grande Cache, Alberta and is currently estimated to contain 18.9 million recoverable tonnes of high quality metallurgical coal. (Refer to Technical Report on The No. 14 Mine Project filed on SEDAR on March 21, 2013.) Mine 16S is located 30 kilometers northwest of Mine 14 and represents 29% of Summit's total area of leases. An NI 43-101 Technical Report has not been prepared for the Mine 16S property. Summit's potential coal resources have significant value both as a fuel source for MAXIM's existing Milner generating facility and for the sale of export metallurgical coal.

MAXIM anticipates that Mine 14 and the coal beneficiation plant will commence construction in 2013 and will commence commercial operation in Q1 2015.
