It’s a proud moment for all of us leading the charge into this new energy space.”

Mansoor added: “We look forward to sharing the story of the Genesis Trend and our broader land package at the world’s largest Natural Hydrogen event next week in Paris. For MAX Power we’re now closer than ever in our pursuit of the Natural Hydrogen molecule, its potential accumulations, and ultimately a commercial discovery. I have great confidence that our science-driven approach and months of detailed preparation will bring us success at Genesis and elsewhere.”

Why This Matters to Investors

MAX Power has officially entered the history books by drilling Canada’s first Natural Hydrogen well. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in domestic energy exploration focused on clean, naturally generated hydrogen beneath Saskatchewan’s Genesis Trend and other land packages comprising 1.3 million acres with another 5.7 million acres under application. The program underscores the Company’s leadership in advancing scientific understanding of this potential new primary energy source while highlighting Canada’s role in resource innovation.

Strategic Financing and Partnership Update

MAX Power continues to advance the previously announced strategic investment for gross proceeds of $5,000,000 at a price of $0.30 per Unit with a leading Southeast Asian conglomerate with extensive interests in the global energy sector (the “Corporate Investor”). Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at $0.45 for a period of 24 months, subject to the previously disclosed accelerated expiry provision. The parties have finalized the investor rights and shareholder agreement, which provides for a board seat, conditional on the investor maintaining at least 7% ownership.
