MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that interpretation of 3D seismic data at its 28-square-kilometer Lawson Complex in Saskatchewan has identified the first series of high-priority follow-up drill targets for an expanded near-term multi-well program. The program aims to advance commercial validation of its natural hydrogen system, which represents Canada's first confirmed subsurface natural hydrogen discovery.
The company said surveying has been completed for six proposed initial well locations, with the first three drill targets finalized and well licensing 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, while refining exploration and production models in real time.
MAX Power is also expanding its regional exploration efforts through aggressive 2D seismic data acquisition across the 475-kilometer Genesis Trend, which the company believes could host multiple additional natural hydrogen prospects. The company has built dominant district-scale land positions 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.
According to the company, 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. The upcoming drilling program will help evaluate the commercial viability of this system.
MAX Power is also pursuing critical minerals exploration. The company holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada, 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. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
