MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) is set to present its Natural Hydrogen program at the IMAGE '26 conference in Houston on August 19. President and Director Chad Levesque will provide an overview of Canada's first confirmed Natural Hydrogen system at the Lawson Complex in south-central Saskatchewan. The presentation will focus on the ongoing drilling campaign aimed at delineating what the company describes as the world's first large-scale commercial discovery of a new primary energy source.
The Lawson Complex is advancing through a multi-well commercial validation program designed to define the system's scale, continuity, reservoir characteristics, and commercial potential. The first well in the program, Lawson 2, encountered approximately 860 meters of continuous elevated Natural Hydrogen readings, including the highest readings recorded to date at Lawson. The well also provided evidence of an enhanced fracture system within the Precambrian basement complex. Drilling has since advanced to Lawson 3, which is positioned to provide a third data point as MAX Power works to better understand the deposit's potential volume.
This presentation comes at a critical time for the Natural Hydrogen sector, which is gaining attention as a potential clean energy source. Unlike traditional hydrogen production methods, which require energy inputs, Natural Hydrogen occurs naturally in the subsurface and can be extracted like a conventional resource. The successful validation of the Lawson system could position Canada as a leader in this emerging field, with significant implications for the global energy transition.
MAX Power 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. The company also holds 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 company's commitment to responsible exploration and development practices is evident in its emphasis on environmental stewardship, community engagement, and strong corporate governance. As the world seeks decarbonization solutions, MAX Power's work at Lawson could provide a blueprint for harnessing Natural Hydrogen as a viable energy source.
The IMAGE '26 presentation will be a key opportunity for industry stakeholders to learn about the progress at Lawson and the potential implications for the energy sector. With the drilling program continuing, the data gathered from Lawson 3 and future wells will be crucial in determining the commercial viability of the system. The outcome of this validation program could have far-reaching effects on how Natural Hydrogen is perceived and developed globally.
