MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX | OTC: MAXXF | FSE: 89N) closed a $25 million strategic investment from Eric Sprott on May 29, 2026. The financing pushes the company’s treasury past $40 million heading into the next phase of work at its Lawson Natural Hydrogen discovery in Saskatchewan.
This is not Sprott’s first move on the story. He led the company’s $20.5 million raise in March, then bought shares in the open market in May before committing this latest $25 million. For an investor who built his reputation in gold and silver, a position this size in a brand new energy category is worth paying attention to.
The terms
The placement was a non-brokered private placement of 12,500,000 units at $2.00 per unit. Each unit included one common share and one warrant exercisable at $2.75 for 24 months.
After closing, Sprott holds roughly 19.0% of the company on a non-diluted basis, or 29.6% on a partially diluted basis if his warrants are exercised. That is up from about 12.3% before the placement. He has agreed not to exercise warrants that would take him past 19.9% without the required shareholder and regulatory approvals.
What the money funds
The company has laid out where the proceeds are going:
• Follow-up drilling at the Lawson Complex
• Resource modelling and estimation, plus near-term commercial development work at Lawson
• More seismic data across the Saskatchewan land package
• Drilling of additional targets, including completion of the Bracken well
• Acquisition of additional permitted ground
• Continued development of the company’s MAXX LEMI targeting platform
In short, the cash is aimed at turning a confirmed discovery into something the company can measure for commercial potential.
Where the story stands
Lawson is what MAX Power describes as Canada’s first subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling, with results validated by three independent labs. Recent 3D seismic defined a structural closure of about 14.2 square kilometres inside a broader 28 square kilometre complex, which supports the view that Lawson is a sizable system rather than an isolated pocket.
The company holds about 1.3 million permitted acres across Saskatchewan, anchored by the 475 kilometre Genesis Trend.
The next real test is a series of wells planned to start in the coming weeks, targeting the apex and the flanks of the Lawson structure to evaluate commercial flow rates. That is the data point investors are waiting on, and it is the reason a funded treasury matters right now. The company can drill it without going back to the market first.
The takeaway
This is still exploration, and commercial flow has not been proven. What changed on Friday is the company’s ability to execute. With more than $40 million in the bank and a major resource investor increasing his position, MAX Power is funded to run an aggressive program through the milestones that will decide whether Lawson becomes a commercial system.
