MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has announced the closing of a $25 million strategic non-brokered private placement with renowned resource investor Eric Sprott. The financing consisted of 12.5 million units priced at $2.00 per unit, with each unit comprising one common share and one warrant exercisable at $2.75 for a period of 24 months. The company said the financing increases its treasury to more than $40 million as it advances exploration and development activities focused on natural hydrogen opportunities across Saskatchewan, including follow-up drilling and resource evaluation at the Lawson Complex.
Proceeds will support drilling, seismic data acquisition, additional land acquisitions and continued development of its proprietary AI-powered Large Earth Model Integration (MAXX LEMI) platform for natural hydrogen targeting. Following the transaction, Mr. Sprott beneficially owns approximately 19.0% of the company’s outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis and 29.6% on a partially diluted basis, assuming exercise of all warrants, subject to an agreement limiting ownership to 19.9% absent required approvals.

MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. The Company’s Lawson Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents Canada’s first-ever subsurface Natural Hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling with data validated by three independent labs. MAX Power has built dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen. MAX Power also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals. These properties are highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, 100%-owned by MAX Power’s U.S. subsidiary. MAX Power is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
The investment by Eric Sprott, a prominent figure in the resource sector, signals strong confidence in MAX Power's natural hydrogen strategy. With a treasury now exceeding $40 million, the company is well-positioned to accelerate its exploration programs and potentially establish a new energy frontier in Saskatchewan. This development is significant as natural hydrogen is emerging as a potentially low-carbon energy source, and MAX Power's early mover advantage could be pivotal.
