MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the City of Moose Jaw to jointly explore strategic opportunities related to natural hydrogen commercialization within the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor, supporting advancement of the company’s Lawson Natural Hydrogen project toward commercial validation.
The partnership is intended to align regional infrastructure, industrial development, policy and economic initiatives as MAX Power works to position Saskatchewan as a potential hub for domestically sourced clean energy innovation and long-term economic growth. The MOU marks a significant step in advancing natural hydrogen as a viable clean energy source, leveraging Saskatchewan's existing industrial infrastructure and regulatory framework.
MAX Power’s 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 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.
This collaboration underscores the growing importance of natural hydrogen as a potential low-carbon energy source. Unlike traditional hydrogen production methods that require energy input, natural hydrogen is extracted directly from underground reservoirs, offering a potentially cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative. The MOU with Moose Jaw could accelerate the development of a hydrogen economy in the region, creating economic opportunities and reducing carbon emissions.
MAX Power is also committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance. The company holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, including a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona.
