Maxim Power Corp. ("MAXIM" or the "Corporation") (TSX:MXG) announced today that
the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Corporation's Milner Expansion
project, a 500 MW coal-fired generation facility adjacent to its existing Milner
facility, was deemed complete by Alberta Environment. The decision by Alberta
Environment enables the project to enter the final phase of the regulatory
approval process, which is expected to conclude in the first quarter of 2011.


Concurrent with achieving this milestone, MAXIM has engaged in discussions with
several parties to procure a long term fuel supply agreement for the Milner
Expansion project. This project is expected to require some 1.4 million tonnes
of thermal coal on an annual basis.
