MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has reported 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 and establishing a newly defined “Lawson Central” area that significantly expands the original discovery. The survey also identified multiple high-priority drill targets and 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, a key step in understanding the subsurface geology, has allowed the company to refine its geological model and pinpoint the most prospective zones for Natural Hydrogen accumulation. According to the company, the results indicate a robust structural trap that could host significant volumes of natural hydrogen, a clean energy source that is gaining attention as a potential low-carbon fuel. The discovery is particularly notable as it 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. This extensive acreage covers prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen. The company is also advancing 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.
The implications of this announcement are significant for the emerging natural hydrogen sector. If the Lawson system proves commercially viable, it could position Canada as a leader in natural hydrogen production, offering a domestic source of clean energy. The results also underscore the potential for Saskatchewan to become a hub for hydrogen exploration, attracting further investment and research. For MAX Power, the expanded discovery enhances the company’s asset base and provides a clearer path toward drilling and development, with the goal of assessing the system’s commercial potential.
