REV Commences Drill Program Targeting Helium in Northern Great Plains
Rev begins drilling at the Aden Dome project in the Northern Great Plains to target helium resources.
Rev Exploration Corp. has commenced drilling at its 100%-owned Aden Dome Project, located along the Alberta-Montana border. The initial well, Aden 12-4-1-9W4, targets stacked Devonian Beaverhill Lake carbonates and deeper Basal Cambrian sandstone reservoirs within a seismically defined four-way structural closure. The well also explores potential Natural Hydrogen targets in the deeper Precambrian basement complex.
Drilling is being executed by Savanna Drilling Rig #416. Following the Aden well, the company plans to move 20 miles southwest to the 6,171-acre West Butte Project to begin permitting multiple wells with the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation. The technical team handling the interpretation and execution is the same group responsible for MAX Power's successful Lawson Discovery of natural hydrogen and helium in Saskatchewan.
Rev Exploration Corp. (REVX) has begun drilling at its Aden Dome property, marking the execution of a milestone previously announced by the company. CEO guidance issued in May and June 2026 explicitly targeted third-quarter drilling operations at the site, characterizing this development as an expected operational step rather than an unexpected catalyst.
While the commencement of drilling serves as a positive sentiment driver and validates the company's transition from land assembly to active exploration, the project carries inherent exploration risks. No hydrocarbon or hydrogen shows have been reported to date. This news is incremental to the broader strategy of building a district-scale helium and natural hydrogen portfolio in the Northern Great Plains. The announcement does not immediately alter the financial outlook or de-risk the project until assay results are published.
The transition plan to West Butte indicates that a multi-well campaign is underway, a process that will require sustained capital. Given the company's current cash position, this execution phase increases the near-term probability of another equity raise.
Rev Exploration Corp. is an exploration-stage company focused on helium and natural hydrogen in America's Northern Great Plains and southern Alberta/Saskatchewan, alongside gold assets in Quebec. Its flagship Aden Dome Project is located along the Alberta-Montana border. It is a drill-ready target situated within a known helium fairway, with geological models pointing to basement-sourced helium charge, fault-controlled migration pathways, and stacked Cambrian/Devonian reservoirs.
The company also holds the West Butte Project in Montana, comprising 6,171 acres. 3D seismic has been completed and interpreted at this site, identifying multiple high-priority targets for stacked reservoir testing. Additionally, Rev Exploration holds a 6 million share stake in MAX Power Mining Corp., representing approximately 5% ownership, and a 12.4 million share stake in Major Gold Corp., which is the majority shareholder. These holdings diversify the company’s exposure to natural hydrogen and gold exploration.
