MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has announced a significant milestone in its Saskatchewan natural hydrogen project, with the interpretation of 3D seismic data revealing high-priority follow-up drill targets at the 28-square-kilometer Lawson Complex. The company is now advancing an expanded near-term multi-well program aimed at commercial validation of its natural hydrogen system.
According to the company, surveying has been completed for six proposed initial well locations, with the first three drill targets finalized. Well licensing is expected in the coming days. The drilling campaign will focus on evaluating key commercial parameters including gas flow, volume, concentration, reservoir continuity, pressure response, and potential helium content. This data will allow MAX Power to refine its exploration and production models in real time.
In addition to the immediate drilling program, MAX Power is expanding its regional exploration efforts through aggressive 2D seismic data acquisition across the 475-kilometer Genesis Trend. The company believes this trend could host multiple additional natural hydrogen prospects, further validating the potential of the region.
The Lawson Discovery, near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents Canada’s first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling with data validated by three independent labs. MAX Power has built a dominant district-scale land position across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen.
The company also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, including a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, which is 100%-owned by MAX Power’s U.S. subsidiary.

This development is important as it marks a step toward commercializing natural hydrogen, a potentially game-changing clean energy source. If successful, MAX Power's efforts could lead to a new domestic supply of low-carbon hydrogen, supporting the global energy transition and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
