TORONTO, ONTARIO – Hampton Securities Limited (“Hampton Securities”) is pleased to announce the closing of a brokered private placement financing for MAX Power Mining Corp. (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$20.5 million (the “Offering”). Hampton Securities acted as lead agent and sole bookrunner, with Eric Sprott as the lead order.
Under the Offering, MAX Power issued 15,805,624 units at C$1.30 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$20,547,311.20. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at C$1.80 for a period of 24 months from closing.
According to MAX Power, the net proceeds are expected to be used to advance the Company’s Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery on the Genesis Trend near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, including analytical testing, resource modeling, resource estimation, follow-up evaluation work, additional 2D and 3D seismic acquisition, further drilling, and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, Hampton Securities and eligible members of the selling group received a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds and were issued 948,337 non-transferable broker warrants.
