Maxim Power Corp. ("MAXIM" or the "Corporation") (TSX:MXG) wishes to announce
that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") has accepted the notice filed
by MAXIM of its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB").


Pursuant to the NCIB, MAXIM may, during the 12 month period commencing on April
2, 2008, purchase up to approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding Common
Shares in the capital of the Corporation or up to 2,220,000 Common Shares. There
is currently a total of 44,408,984 Common Shares issued and outstanding. The bid
will terminate on April 1, 2009, or such earlier time as the bid is completed or
terminated at the option of MAXIM. In this regard, Management has been
authorized to purchase 2,220,000 Common Shares. Shares will be purchased through
the facilities of the Exchange at the prevailing current market price, and such
shares will be cancelled and returned to treasury. Subject to the ability of the
Corporation to make one block purchase per calendar week, under the rules of the
Exchange, MAXIM may purchase up to 3,132 Common Shares each trading day. The
actual number of Common Shares to be purchased and the timing of any purchases
will be at MAXIM's discretion.


MAXIM believes that prevailing market conditions have resulted in its Common
Shares being undervalued relative to the immediate and long term value of the
Corporation. Further, the acquisition of Common Shares at current market values
would represent an appropriate use of MAXIM's cash resources, and such purchases
would enhance Shareholder value.
