The warrants were issued through several investments made since August 2025, according to a company announcement. The transaction, completed on Aug. 24, 2026, underscores continued institutional confidence in MAX Power's strategic focus on natural hydrogen and critical minerals.
The warrant exercise increases Sprott's beneficial ownership to 47,123,527 common shares, representing approximately 24.35% of the company's issued and outstanding shares.

MAX Power CEO Ran Narayanasamy stated that the funds will accelerate the company's commercial validation drill program at the Lawson Complex in Saskatchewan, where the company is delineating its Natural Hydrogen system.
The Lawson Discovery, located near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents Canada's first-ever subsurface Natural Hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling. Data from the discovery has been validated by three independent laboratories, strengthening the project's credibility. MAX Power has secured approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits across Saskatchewan, positioning the company as a leader in the emerging natural hydrogen sector.
In addition to the funding news, MAX Power announced that President and Director Chad Levesque will present at the Clean Energy & Metals Virtual Investor Conference on Aug. 27 from 1:30-2 p.m. ET. The live online event will allow investors to ask questions in real time, with an archived webcast available afterward. This presentation provides an opportunity for stakeholders to gain insights into the company's progress and future plans.
MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. Beyond natural hydrogen, the company holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals. A notable asset is the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, where a 2024 diamond drilling discovery was made. This project is 100%-owned by MAX Power's U.S. subsidiary, adding to the company's diversified exploration strategy.
The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance. With the new funding, MAX Power aims to advance its commercial validation efforts at Lawson, potentially unlocking significant value in the natural hydrogen space. The support from Eric Sprott, a prominent investor in the resource sector, signals strong belief in the company's potential.
