REGINA, Saskatchewan, Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FSE: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic non-brokered private placement financing (the “Private Placement”) with Mr. Eric Sprott for gross proceeds of $ 10 million . The Private Placement will consist of 4,000,000 units (“Units”) of the Company at a price of $2.50 per Unit to be subscribed for by 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation beneficially owned by Mr. Sprott, with closing anticipated on or about August 17, 2026.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to further advance its ongoing commercial validation drill program at the Lawson Complex and for general corporate purposes, including administrative and marketing expenses.

Private Placement Terms

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 entitles Mr. Sprott to purchase one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $3.25 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Private Placement. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities legislation. Closing of the Private Placement is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”).

As at the date of this release, Mr. Sprott beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and is therefore a “related party” of the Company within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Accordingly, his participation in the Private Placement will constitute a “related party transaction” within the meaning of 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 neither the fair market value of the Units to be issued to Mr. Sprott nor the consideration to be paid by him is expected to exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.

Early Warning Disclosure

Upon completion of the Private Placement, Mr. Sprott will be required to file an early warning report pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 - The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues (“NI 62-103”) in connection with his acquisition of the Units.

Prior to the completion of the Private Placement, Mr. Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., beneficially owns and exercises control over 30,984,979 Common Shares and 24,638,548 Common Share purchase warrants, representing approximately 17.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 27.8% on a partially diluted basis, assuming the exercise of such warrants.
