MAX Power Reports Natural Hydrogen and Helium Discoveries Across Saskatchewan Basin

MAX Power Mining Corp. reported significant progress on its natural hydrogen exploration program in Saskatchewan, with three major developments announced in April 2026.

The company successfully drilled the Bracken Well to 2,600 meters total depth in its Grasslands Project, 325 km southwest of the Lawson discovery. The well encountered three zones of interest: a mixed gas interval containing helium and natural hydrogen in the Upper Devonian, followed by two natural hydrogen-dominant zones in the basal Deadwood and Basement Complex formations. Well completion and testing operations are scheduled for Q2 2026 following spring breakup.

A high-resolution 3D seismic survey covering 47 square kilometers at the Lawson Discovery and surrounding Genesis Trend area was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Preliminary interpretations are expected within 2-3 weeks, with results designed to enhance imaging of trap geometry and aid resource estimation work by third-party experts. A confirmatory well at Lawson is planned for mid-2026.

MAX Power also identified a new prospect called "Lawson Southwest" located 12 km southwest of the original discovery through legacy 2D seismic review. The target exhibits geophysical similarities to the Lawson discovery and appears associated with a dome-like surface feature.

The company's $20.5 million capital raise will fund multiple wells, additional seismic acquisition, and prospect evaluation across the 475-km Genesis Trend and other areas.
