MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has announced the retention of GLJ Ltd., a Calgary-based energy consulting firm, to support commercial evaluation of the company's Lawson Natural Hydrogen system in Saskatchewan. This decision follows 3D seismic results that significantly expanded the interpreted scale of the project, highlighting its potential as a major natural hydrogen resource.
GLJ will focus on resource modeling, development potential, and optimization of an expanded drill program targeting Natural Hydrogen and Helium across the 28 square kilometer Lawson Complex. The firm will also contribute to the development of MAX Power's AI-driven MAXX LEMI platform, which aims to enhance exploration efficiency. This engagement marks a critical step in advancing the project toward commercial viability, as natural hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a clean energy source with minimal carbon footprint.
The 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 holds dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan, with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits and an additional 5.7 million acres under application. These lands cover prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen, positioning the company as a key player in the emerging natural hydrogen sector.
The implications of this announcement are significant for the energy transition. Natural hydrogen, also known as white or gold hydrogen, is generated naturally through geological processes and offers a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels. If successfully commercialized, the Lawson project could provide a domestic, clean energy source for Canada, reducing reliance on imported energy and supporting decarbonization goals. The involvement of GLJ, a firm with extensive experience in resource evaluation and development, adds credibility and technical expertise to the project.
MAX Power also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, including the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
