AUC Goldplay Mining Inc

Maxim Power Corp. ("MAXIM" or the "Corporation") (TSX:MXG) announced today that
the Alberta Utilities Commission ("AUC") has approved MAXIM's application to
convert the fuel source for the Milner Expansion Project ("M2") from coal to
natural gas and to increase the generating capacity of the proposed expansion
from 500 MW to 520 MW. MAXIM also announced today that it has entered into an
agreement to sell Maxim Power (B.C.) Inc. ("Maxim BC"), which owns the Vancouver
Landfill Power Project, and that Mr. Joel Lusman has elected to step down from
the Board of Directors following completion of his term at the Annual General
Meeting (effective June 4, 2014).


Milner Expansion Project

The AUC had granted MAXIM approval to develop a 500 MW coal-fired generating
facility adjacent to the existing 150 MW Milner generating facility ("M1") on
August 10, 2011. On September 12, 2012, the Government of Canada enacted new
greenhouse gas legislation that limits the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by
coal-fired generation facilities. As a result, MAXIM applied to amend the M2
permit to convert the fuel source from coal to natural gas and to increase the
generating capacity to 520 MW. On June 4, 2014, the AUC approved MAXIM's
application for these amendments (Approval No. U2014-242).

MAXIM announced today that it is has entered into an agreement to sell its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Maxim BC, to Village Farms International, Inc. for $4.5
million. Maxim BC owns and operates the Vancouver Landfill Power Project, a 7.4
MW electrical and 9.1 MW thermal energy landfill gas cogeneration project in
Delta, BC. Closing of the transaction is not subject to financing conditions and
is expected to close in the third quarter, subject only to customary closing
conditions. MAXIM will utilize the proceeds from the sale for strategic
corporate purposes.


Corporate Director

Mr. Joel Lusman, a Director of MAXIM since March 22, 2012, has elected to step
down from the Board of Directors following completion of his term at the 2014
Annual General Meeting (effective June 4, 2014). The Board and Management of
