MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has released 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. This newly defined area, named “Lawson Central,” significantly expands the original discovery and establishes a broader “Lawson Complex” spanning roughly 28 square kilometers.
The survey identified multiple high-priority drill targets within the Lawson Complex, supporting the potential for multiple producing wells with hydrogen and helium concentrations. These results mark a critical step in advancing the project toward further drilling and evaluation of its commercial viability. The company’s Lawson Discovery, located 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 and an additional 5.7 million acres under application. These holdings cover 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 the 100%-owned Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, where a 2024 diamond drilling discovery was made.
The implications of this announcement are significant for the emerging natural hydrogen sector. Natural hydrogen, often called “white hydrogen,” is generated through geological processes and offers a low-carbon energy source. The delineation of a large structural closure suggests a substantial trapped volume, potentially enhancing the economic feasibility of extraction. The presence of helium, a valuable byproduct, further improves the project’s economics.
MAX Power is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance. The company’s progress at Lawson could position Canada as a leader in natural hydrogen production, contributing to global decarbonization efforts.
