According to the purchase and sale agreement, MAX Power will acquire a 100% stake in the property from the vendor by issuing 1.5 million of its common shares and paying $121,600 in cash.
Furthermore, MAX Power has granted a 1% net smelter royalty to Shawn Ryan in relation to the property.
MAX Power senior geologist and exploration manager Peter Lauder said: “This is thinking big and outside the box, an exciting move for MAX and consistent with management’s strategy of building a North American-focused lithium company that can differentiate itself in a lithium space that has grown substantially in the past year.
