MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that President and Director Chad Levesque will present at IMAGE '26 – International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy on Aug. 19 in Houston. Levesque will provide an overview of Canada's first confirmed Natural Hydrogen system at the Lawson Complex in south-central Saskatchewan and ongoing drilling aimed at delineating what the company describes as the world's first large-scale commercial discovery of a new primary energy source.
The Lawson Complex is advancing through a multi-well commercial validation program designed to define the system's scale, continuity, reservoir characteristics and commercial potential. The first well in the program, Lawson 2, encountered approximately 860 meters of continuous elevated Natural Hydrogen readings, including the highest readings recorded to date at Lawson, while providing evidence of an enhanced fracture system within the Precambrian basement complex. Drilling has since advanced to Lawson 3, which is positioned to provide a third data point as MAX Power works to better understand the deposit's potential volume.
This presentation is significant for the energy industry as it highlights a potential new source of clean energy. Natural hydrogen, also known as white hydrogen, is generated naturally in the Earth's crust and could be a game-changer in the transition to decarbonized energy. If the Lawson Complex proves commercially viable, it could provide a new, low-carbon energy source that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and complements renewable energy sources.
The company holds approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits in Saskatchewan, which it describes as prime exploration ground for large-volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen. Beyond hydrogen, MAX Power also has a portfolio of critical minerals properties, including the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona, which saw a diamond drilling discovery in 2024.
Levesque's presentation at IMAGE '26 will be a key opportunity for industry professionals to learn about the technical aspects and potential implications of this discovery. The conference, which focuses on applied geoscience and energy, is the perfect venue to share findings with a knowledgeable audience.
The implications of this announcement are far-reaching. If successful, the Lawson project could spur a new industry in natural hydrogen exploration and production, with significant economic and environmental benefits. It could also position Canada as a leader in this emerging sector.
Investors and stakeholders are watching closely as MAX Power continues its drilling program. The results from Lawson 3 and subsequent wells will be critical in assessing the commercial viability of the system. The company's commitment to responsible exploration and development practices, as stated in its corporate philosophy, will be essential as the project progresses.
