MAXXF) Prepares to Drill Second Pure Hydrogen Effectively as Program Expands 325 km SW of Lawson Discovery

MAX Energy Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N)
(“MAX Energy” or the “Firm”) is happy to
announce that in parallel with the continuing analytical testing,
useful resource modelling, and useful resource estimation program at its Lawson
Pure Hydrogen Discovery within the coronary heart of the 475-km-long Genesis
Development, the Firm has recognized a sturdy goal for near-term
drilling of a second “play idea” for Pure Hydrogen
in Saskatchewan. Licensing is underway to begin the
“Bracken” properly alongside the Saskatchewan-Montana border in
February.

With a Pure Hydrogen discovery now confirmed at Lawson, MAX Energy
is advancing towards potential commercialization whereas concurrently
testing further play ideas throughout Saskatchewan. The Bracken
properly represents an necessary step in demonstrating basin-scale
continuity, supporting the geological group’s interpretation
that Pure Hydrogen methods in Saskatchewan are repeatable and
scalable throughout a number of traits.

Bracken Highlights

The Bracken properly location was generated via an built-in
geophysical and geological workflow leveraging 34.3-line kilometers
of newly acquired proprietary 2D seismic information mixed with legacy
2D seismic.

This dataset was rigorously interpreted to delineate basement
structure, structural and stratigraphic pathways, and potential
migration corridors thought of vital to Pure Hydrogen and
related clear fuel accumulation.

Like Genesis to the northeast, the Grasslands Challenge is taken into account
potential for a number of potential Pure Hydrogen discoveries that
may additionally embrace helium.

Bracken and the broader Grasslands Challenge is benefiting from, and
informing, the Firm’s in-house AI-assisted Massive Earth
Mannequin Integration (LEMI) platform generally known as MAXX LEMI, MAX
Energy’s proprietary software to optimize Pure Hydrogen
exploration and drill goal choice.

Mr. Steve Halabura, MAX Energy’s Chief Geoscientist, commented:
“We’re very excited concerning Bracken given the quantity
of knowledge now we have from the realm and all that we’ve discovered from
Lawson. Bracken is the place the MAX Energy group first found Pure
Hydrogen within the sub-surface in Saskatchewan, via historic
drilling, and the broader space is a recognized helium fairway. At
Bracken, we’ll be testing a stratigraphic play idea vs. the
structural play idea efficiently developed at Lawson and throughout
the Genesis Development. There are some similarities within the Pure
Hydrogen geological mannequin between Bracken and Lawson, however every has
its personal distinctive entice and seal mechanisms.”

Mr. Ran Narayanasamy, MAX Energy CEO, added: “We proceed to
transfer at a speedy tempo with respect to Pure Hydrogen exploration
and improvement in Saskatchewan the place now we have the benefit of a
mature and favorable coverage framework. This additionally highlights the
stark timeline distinction between exploration and potential
commercialization of Pure Hydrogen vs. conventional mineral and
metallic initiatives. That is months to molecules, not years. Our objective is
to rapidly unlock scalable, low-carbon power sources in
Saskatchewan, and leverage the MAXX LEMI mannequin for Pure Hydrogen
on a worldwide foundation.”

Bracken and the Grasslands Challenge

The Bracken prospect types a part of a broader, regionally intensive
exploration fairway throughout MAX Energy’s 75-km-wide permitted
Grasslands Challenge. This rising play has significant district-scale
potential, with Bracken serving as a key calibration level for
future drilling areas. Success at Bracken would materially
de-risk further prospects already outlined inside the seismic and
MAXX LEMI framework, positioning MAX Energy to quickly advance a
rising stock of follow-up targets throughout its extremely potential
Saskatchewan portfolio.

Why This Issues to Buyers

Advancing a second, independently derived Pure Hydrogen play
idea a number of hundred kilometers from Lawson within the southwest nook
of the province reinforces that the Firm’s alternative
extends past a single discovery or development and right into a doubtlessly
very giant basin-scale system. Lawson has validated MAX
Energy’s geological mannequin for Pure Hydrogen, a mannequin that
consists of a number of play ideas – the second of which shall be
examined at Bracken with sturdy confidence given lately interpreted
proprietary 2D seismic information mixed with preliminary success at Lawson.
As commercialization efforts advance at Lawson, drilling at Bracken
gives a possibility to additional outline scale, potential
economics, and long-term improvement potentialities for Pure
Hydrogen in Saskatchewan.

Choices and RSUs Granted

The Firm pronounces that it has granted 3,415,000 inventory choices at
an train worth of $1.08 with a 3-year expiry, and a pair of,990,000
restricted inventory models (RSUs) to administration, administrators, and
consultants of the corporate. The inventory choices and RSUs will vest in
accordance with vesting phrases to be decided by administration and
topic to the phrases and circumstances of the Firm’s inventory possibility
and restricted inventory unit plan.
