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 placement consisted of 15,805,624 units at C$1.30 per unit, with Eric Sprott as lead investor and Hampton Securities Limited acting as lead agent and sole bookrunner. The company stated that proceeds will support ongoing evaluation and development of its Lawson Natural Hydrogen discovery in Saskatchewan, including analytical testing, resource modeling, seismic acquisition, and additional drilling, as well as general corporate purposes.
The Lawson Discovery, located 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 a dominant district-scale land position across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits, plus an additional 5.7 million acres under application, covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. The company believes this opportunity is scalable across its extensive land position.
This financing underscores growing investor interest in natural hydrogen as a potential clean energy source. Natural hydrogen, also known as white hydrogen, is generated naturally in the Earth's crust and could provide a low-carbon alternative to conventional hydrogen production methods. MAX Power's advancement of the Lawson Discovery positions it at the forefront of this emerging sector in Canada.
In addition to its hydrogen assets, MAX Power 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, which is 100%-owned by MAX Power's U.S. subsidiary. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
