(MENAFN- Investor Ideas) Investorideas ( newswir ) a top rated investor news site for breaking mining stock news issues news for hydrogen exploration stock MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N).

MAX Power Mining Corp. announced that it has arranged a strategic non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") with Mr. Eric Sprott for gross proceeds to the Company of $25 million. This Private Placement is for 12,500,000 units ("Units") of the Company at a price of $2.00 per Unit through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation beneficially owned by Mr. Sprott.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle Mr. Sprott to purchase one Common Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of $2.75 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Private Placement. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for: 1) Follow-up drilling at the Lawson Complex; 2) Modelling and estimation of the resource potential and near-term commercial development prospects at Lawson; 3) Further acquisition of 2D and 3D seismic data over prospective areas across MAX Power's Saskatchewan land package; 4) Drilling of additional targets in Saskatchewan, including near-term well completion at Bracken; 5) Acquisition of additional permitted ground; 6) Continued development of the Company's proprietary AI-empowered Large Earth Model Integration (MAXX LEMI) Platform with potential global application for efficient targeting of Natural Hydrogen deposits; 7) General corporate purposes, including administrative and marketing expenses.

The Private Placement remains subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and other applicable regulatory approvals and is expected to close on or around May 28, 2026. No finder's fees or commissions will be payable in connection with the Private Placement. Additionally, Mr. Sprott and the Company intend to enter into a supplementary agreement pursuant to which Mr. Sprott will agree not to exercise any Warrants if it would result in holding (directly or indirectly) over 19.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of MAX Power (after giving effect to such exercise), unless requisite shareholder, stock exchange and regulatory approvals have been obtained.

Mr. Sprott currently holds more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As a result, his participation in the Private Placement will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the Units to be issued to Mr. Sprott, and the consideration to be paid by him, will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
