MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has closed its previously announced private placement, raising approximately C$20.5 million in gross proceeds. The financing, led by prominent investor Eric Sprott, involved the sale of 15,805,624 units at C$1.30 per unit, with Hampton Securities Limited acting as lead agent and sole bookrunner. The company stated that the proceeds will be used to support the ongoing evaluation and development of its Lawson Natural Hydrogen discovery in Saskatchewan, including analytical testing, resource modeling, seismic acquisition, and additional drilling, alongside general corporate purposes.
The closing of this financing represents a critical milestone for MAX Power as it advances what management believes to be a scalable natural hydrogen opportunity across its extensive land position. The company’s Lawson Discovery, located near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, is recognized as Canada’s first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling, with data validated by three independent labs. This discovery positions MAX Power at the forefront of the emerging natural hydrogen sector, which has the potential to provide a low-carbon energy source.
MAX Power has built dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan, with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits and an additional 5.7 million acres under application, covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. The company also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, 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.
The participation of Eric Sprott, a well-known resource investor, underscores the potential of MAX Power’s natural hydrogen project. The funds raised will accelerate the company’s exploration and development activities, aiming to further delineate the resource and assess its commercial viability.
