KELOWNA, British Columbia, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- REV Exploration Corp. (“REV” or the “Company”) (TSXV: REVX; OTCID: REVFF; FSE: 7FF) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Calgary-based GLJ Ltd. (“GLJ”) to provide expanded geoscience and engineering support to REV’s internal technical team as the Company prepares for its inaugural drill program focused on high-impact Helium discovery opportunities in Montana and elsewhere in the Northern Great Plains.

GLJ is a Calgary-headquartered energy consulting group with more than 50 years of industry experience across conventional and emerging energy resources. Its team of engineers, geoscientists and energy professionals brings capability in reservoir engineering, geoscience, geological modelling, geophysical and petrophysical interpretation, reservoir characterization, integrated subsurface studies, technical risk assessment and economic evaluation. The engagement gives REV a broader technical bench as it immediately ramps up project development in Montana and potentially elsewhere. This also adds capacity as the Company evaluates and prioritizes opportunities across its Helium portfolio while also investigating potential acquisitions as well as prospective areas for deposits of Natural Hydrogen.

REV intends to utilize GLJ on a project-specific basis alongside the Company’s existing technical team, with the scope of work expected to include technical data integration, subsurface interpretation, prospect evaluation, pre-drill technical support and post-drill analysis, and deposit modeling as required. The objective is to strengthen the technical workflow surrounding prospect maturation and drilling decisions while maintaining a disciplined, data-driven approach to exploration and potential development.

GLJ also currently provides technical support to MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF), giving the group familiarity with the subsurface workflows being applied to evaluate large-scale clean gas opportunities in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. REV’s technical collaboration with MAX Power began over a year ago, and REV remains one of MAX Power’s largest shareholders with six million shares .

Mr. Jordan Potts, REV CEO and Director, commented: “Bringing GLJ into the fold adds another layer of technical horsepower to REV at an important time for the Company. GLJ’s depth in geoscience, engineering and integrated subsurface evaluation complements the capabilities of our existing team and gives us additional bandwidth to evaluate opportunities efficiently and methodically as our exploration program expands.”

The engagement is part of REV’s broader strategy to assemble the technical expertise, project inventory and execution capability required to become a North American leader in Helium exploration and development. With a growing portfolio and upcoming first-ever drilling, the Company believes that strengthening its technical foundation is an important step toward accelerating prospect evaluation, reducing subsurface uncertainty and supporting disciplined exploration decisions.
