WALLACE, ID / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2026 / Magellan Copper & Gold Corporation (OTCID:MAGE) ("Magellan" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the company has formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Magellan Energy Corp. The company will pursue opportunities in the energy production and storage markets with an emphasis on brownfield development of efficient energy solutions.
Amid an ever-increasing emphasis on data centers to power the new Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution, the country is seeing huge demand for energy but is stymied in finding faster and more efficient ways to satisfy the increase in demand. This has created a growing need for innovative ways to meet this challenge.
While there are many possible ways to help meet this deficit for energy that is being created, there are also many issues with both traditional solutions and newer technologies. Many of those issues reside in the challenge of finding efficient and cost-effective solutions around energy storage while maximizing resources being used for energy production.
Magellan Energy Corp and its advisors believe that they have solutions for several of the difficulties of current energy production and storage. Magellan looks forward to providing additional details in the coming months as they move the plan forward.
CEO Mike Lavigne stated, "Magellan Energy Corp is not necessarily an entirely new direction for the company, but we believe that our experience in the mining industry is what will help drive some of the solutions we are going to pursue through Magellan Energy". He continued, "As a member of the Magellan team, I have been looking at some of these solutions presented to us over the past 5 years and I believe that the boom in data center growth being fueled by the Artificial Intelligence boom has accelerated a need for solutions we believe we can provide, and the timing is now".
