VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REV Exploration Corp. (“REV” or the “Company”) (TSXV: REVX) is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated February 4, 2026, the Company now owns 100% of certain oil and gas leasehold interests (the “Properties”) in Montana after completing a purchase and sale agreement with a publicly listed Helium company active in the Sweet Grass Hills Corridor (the “Transaction”).
This Transaction launches REV’s push into America’s Helium-producing Northern Great Plains and nearly quadruples the size of REV’s exploration footprint (now ~19,000 acres) that also includes the Aden Dome along the Alberta-Montana border, an advanced drill-ready target that offers Helium and Natural Hydrogen discovery potential.
REV has created a U.S. subsidiary, REV Exploration USA, Inc., incorporated in Montana, to hold its American assets.
The Deal
Pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement between the Company and the Vendor, REV has acquired the Montana Properties for cash consideration of $250,000 (USD) and the issuance of 551,876 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.74 per share.
CEO Comments
Mr. Jordan Potts, REV CEO, commented: “Timing of this acquisition could not be better given the substantial recent move in Helium prices. We’re strong believers in the long-term outlook for the Helium and Natural Hydrogen sectors and how they will play an increasingly important role in terms of energy security moving forward. REV has seen tremendous growth in its investment in MAX Power, and we’re looking forward to building additional value for shareholders through our own direct exploration efforts.”
VP-Exploration Comments
Mr. Shayne Neigum, VP-Exploration for REV, stated: “REV’s technical team is actively evaluating available 2D and 3D seismic datasets across its new Montana acreage while also assessing the potential to acquire its own proprietary 2D and 3D seismic in the area. This work is focused on refining the Company’s understanding of subsurface structures and identifying high-priority targets to support future Helium and Natural Hydrogen exploration drilling in the near-term.”

Why This Matters To Investors
This acquisition marks a strategic expansion of REV’s footprint into the heart of the Helium-producing Northern Great Plains in the United States, positioning the Company at the intersection of two rapidly emerging sectors – Helium and Natural Hydrogen – at a time of strengthening market fundamentals.
By nearly quadrupling its landholdings and adding prospective acreage in Montana alongside the drill-ready Aden Dome Project, REV is advancing an aggressive strategy focused on building a scalable exploration portfolio and potential development opportunities across a robust geological corridor with an increasing emphasis on the American side where a buildout of AI data centers is driving fresh demand for energy.
Combined with its meaningful equity position in MAX Power, which provides indirect exposure to one of the world’s most advanced Natural Hydrogen discoveries, REV is uniquely positioned to create value through both direct exploration and strategic investment. This integrated approach provides shareholders with leveraged exposure to the development of Helium and Natural Hydrogen systems in a region increasingly recognized for its long-term energy security potential.
