3D Seismic Survey Expands Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery Area in Saskatchewan

MAX Power Mining Corp. has released preliminary results from a 3D seismic survey completed at the Lawson Natural Hydrogen system near Central Butte, Saskatchewan. The survey delineated a large structural closure with an estimated area of approximately 14.2 sq. km, designated as "Lawson Central," which encompasses the original Lawson discovery well.

The survey identified multiple high-priority drill targets within the 14.2 sq. km structure and defines a broader prospective "Lawson Complex" covering approximately 28 sq. km. According to MAX Power's Chief Geoscientist Steve Halabura, the 3D data represents a significant expansion of understanding compared to previous 2D seismic surveys used for initial exploration.

The original Lawson 15-19 well successfully confirmed free gas flow to surface with significant hydrogen concentrations. Notably, the survey identified a major structural high approximately 80 to 100 metres up-dip from the discovery well, which the company identifies as an optimal target area for high-volume natural hydrogen accumulations.

The project is located within the 475-km Genesis Trend and includes a helium component. MAX Power indicated that ongoing interpretation will support internal resource modeling and estimation, with follow-up drilling planned to target structurally optimal zones and evaluate continuity, flow characteristics, and commercial viability.
