MAX Power Expands Drilling Program at Lawson Natural Hydrogen Complex in Saskatchewan

MAX Power Mining Corp. announced an expansion of its commercial validation program at the Lawson Natural Hydrogen system in Saskatchewan. The company has identified the first series of follow-up drill targets based on 3D seismic data interpretation across the 28 sq. km Lawson Complex.

Survey work this week identified six proposed initial well locations, with the first three drill targets finalized. These targets were selected for structurally optimal positioning to test gas flow, volume, and hydrogen concentrations. The drilling program will include continuous completion operations, with exploration and production models refined in real-time using advanced technology.

The Lawson Complex is located within the Genesis Trend, adjoining the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor. Beyond natural hydrogen, the site shows potential for helium deposits, aligning with Saskatchewan's strategy to expand its share of the global helium market to approximately 10% by 2030.

MAX Power CEO Ran Narayanasamy stated that the company is entering a critical execution phase, enabled by a $25 million investment from Eric Sprott. Chief Geoscientist Steve Halabura noted that the 3D seismic survey has enhanced understanding of the Lawson system's scale and structure, providing Canada's first subsurface calibration point for natural hydrogen.

The company is also conducting aggressive 2D seismic acquisition across the 475-km Genesis Trend to assess additional natural hydrogen prospects and identify potential new target areas.
