KELOWNA, British Columbia, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REV Exploration Corp. (“REV” or the “Company”) (TSXV: REVX; OTCID: REVFF; FSE: 7FF) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Company’s 100%-owned Aden Dome Project along the Alberta-Montana border, marking the launch of a planned multi-well drill program targeting potential new Helium discoveries in the Northern Great Plains with a major focus on Montana.

Highlights

• Aden Dome’s combination of deep structural architecture, potential migration pathways, stacked porous reservoir intervals and structural closure forms the basis of REV’s discovery model for this advanced prospect located along a known Helium fairway;
• Drilling at Aden will test stacked Devonian Beaverhill Lake carbonates and the deeper Basal Cambrian sandstone within a seismically defined four-way structural closure;
• The deeper Basal Cambrian and Precambrian basement complex also offer Natural Hydrogen potential beyond the primary Helium objectives.

Mr. Jordan Potts, REV CEO, commented: “The drill bit is now turning, and a new chapter for REV is officially underway. Everything our team has been building, from our land packages to a series of compelling priority drill targets, has positioned REV as a leading Helium-focused opportunity serving America’s Northern Great Plains and southernmost Alberta. From Aden, we’ll move 20 miles southwest to our 6,171-acre West Butte Project where we have started the process of permitting multiple wells with the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation.”

Drilling at Aden 12-4-1-9W4 is being carried out by Savanna Drilling Rig #416, a Super Single that just completed Lawson 2, Lawson 3, and Lawson 4 in south-central Saskatchewan for MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF). REV is in a technical collaboration with MAX Power and continues to own 6 million shares of the company.

Additional 10-Year Term adds ~$5.2 Billion of Contracted Revenue at Barber Lake

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cipher Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: CIFR) (“Cipher” or the “Company”), a leading developer, owner, and operator of industrial-scale data centers, today announced a series of agreements that extend the contracted lease duration of its Barber Lake data center in Colorado City, Texas from 10 years to 20 years and increase total contracted revenue at the facility from $3.8 billion to over $9 billion.

Cipher has executed an amendment to its existing lease with Fluidstack (the “Barber Lake Lease”) that is coupled with a binding commitment with a leading AI lab to lease the facility for an additional 10-year term following the conclusion of the Barber Lake Lease. The additional 10-year commitment with the leading AI lab, which will be governed by a separate lease containing economic terms substantially consistent with the Barber Lake Lease, is expected to generate approximately $5.2 billion of incremental contracted revenue.

In connection with change orders and the continued evolution of tenant requirements at Barber Lake, the lease amendment establishes a phased delivery schedule for the site, with individual data halls expected to be delivered from the fourth quarter of 2026 through the first quarter of 2027. Rent will commence for each data hall as it is delivered, with the first rent commencement expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. Cipher remains on track with the revised delivery schedule.

In connection with the amendment and the change orders, the Company, Fluidstack and the leading AI lab established a cost reimbursement framework, pursuant to which the Company will bear the first $359.3 million of costs in excess of the initial budgeted amount under the Barber Lake Lease. The tenant will reimburse the Company over the aggregate twenty-year term for 50% of any such costs above that amount, payable as additional rent and calculated in a manner to provide Cipher with a contracted rate of return on such reimbursed amounts.

“Extending Barber Lake’s contracted life from 10 to 20 years and adding approximately $5.2 billion of contracted revenue reflects the enduring value of the infrastructure we’re building,” said Tyler Page, Chief Executive Officer. “Barber Lake was designed as a long-lived, mission-critical asset, and securing a firm commitment that extends well beyond the original lease term demonstrates the long-term utility and strategic relevance of the campus. We believe this transaction underscores the quality and enduring strength of our sites, as well as the durability of demand for hyperscale computing capacity.”

About Cipher

Cipher develops and operates industrial-scale data centers engineered for next-generation computing at the highest standards of innovation, precision, and excellence. The Company brings together deep expertise across power sourcing, construction, engineering, operations, real estate, and technology to deliver high-quality data centers purpose built for HPC workloads. By partnering with premier tenants, Cipher seeks to meet the growing demand for industrial-scale data center capacity and become a leading HPC development platform that is built for hyperscale.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: volatility in the price of Cipher’s securities due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industry in which Cipher operates, Cipher’s evolving business model and strategy and efforts it may make to modify aspects of its business model or engage in various strategic initiatives, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Cipher’s business, the ability of Cipher’s customers, tenants, and other counterparties to perform their contractual obligations, the ability to Cipher to complete its data centers and future strategic growth initiatives in a timely manner or within anticipated cost estimates, risks relating to the development, construction, and operation of Cipher’s data centers, the availability of capital and financing on acceptable terms, changes in market demand, and the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations and to identify and realize additional opportunities. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Cipher’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 24, 2026, Cipher’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026 filed with the SEC on August 4, 2026, and in Cipher’s subsequent filings with the SEC.
