MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced preliminary results from a 3D seismic survey at its Lawson Natural Hydrogen system in Saskatchewan, revealing a large structural closure covering approximately 14.2 square kilometers. The survey established a newly defined 'Lawson Central' area, significantly expanding the original discovery, and identified multiple high-priority drill targets. Additionally, the data outlined a broader 'Lawson Complex' spanning roughly 28 square kilometers, supporting the potential for multiple producing wells with hydrogen and helium concentrations as the company advances toward further drilling and evaluation of the system's commercial potential.
The 3D seismic survey represents a critical step in understanding the subsurface geometry of the Lawson system. The structural closure identified at Lawson Central is a key trapping mechanism for natural hydrogen accumulations, enhancing the prospectivity of the area. MAX Power's Lawson Discovery, located near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, is Canada's first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling, with data validated by three independent labs. The company holds a dominant district-scale land position across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits, plus an additional 5.7 million acres under application, covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen.
The results from the 3D seismic survey are pivotal for MAX Power's exploration strategy. By delineating the structural closure and identifying drill targets, the company can systematically test the system's productivity and resource potential. The broader Lawson Complex, spanning 28 square kilometers, indicates a sizable area that could host multiple production wells, potentially supporting commercial-scale natural hydrogen production. Helium concentrations detected alongside hydrogen add further economic value, as helium is a critical resource used in medical imaging, semiconductor manufacturing, and aerospace applications.
MAX Power is committed to responsible exploration and development, prioritizing environmental stewardship, community engagement, and strong corporate governance. The company also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, 100%-owned by MAX Power's U.S. subsidiary. As MAX Power progresses toward further drilling at Lawson, the 3D seismic results provide a robust foundation for evaluating the commercial viability of natural hydrogen in Saskatchewan.
