MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) (FRANKFURT: 89N) has announced an accelerated strategy to advance commercial evaluation of its Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, and to pursue multiple strategic partnerships tied to the 475-kilometer Genesis Trend. The company has contracted Tetra Tech to conduct a 47-square-kilometer 3D seismic survey beginning the week of Feb. 23, 2026, with all permits secured, to support resource modeling and guide a confirmatory well. Concurrent laboratory analyses are underway, while more than 80 additional prospective structures along the Genesis Trend are being prioritized for a 2026 multi-well drill program, as the company engages potential end users interested in sourcing natural hydrogen pending proof of commercial deposits.
The 3D seismic program is a critical step in de-risking the Lawson target and understanding the subsurface geology that hosts natural hydrogen accumulations. By integrating seismic data with existing geochemical and geophysical results, MAX Power aims to refine its resource model and identify optimal drilling locations. The company’s aggressive timeline reflects growing interest in natural hydrogen as a low-carbon energy source, with potential applications in industrial heating, power generation, and transportation.
MAX Power holds dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan, with approximately 1.3 million acres of permits and an additional 5.7 million acres under application, covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. Canada’s first-ever well specifically targeting natural hydrogen was drilled by MAX Power at the Lawson target on the Genesis Trend, confirming a working subsurface system. The company also maintains a portfolio of critical mineral properties, including the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona.
The announcement underscores the company’s commitment to becoming a leader in the emerging natural hydrogen sector. By securing partnerships and advancing exploration, MAX Power is positioning itself to capitalize on the growing demand for clean energy alternatives. The success of the 3D seismic program and subsequent drilling could pave the way for commercial production, offering a new domestic source of hydrogen that does not require energy-intensive extraction methods.
