MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has confirmed the presence of a natural hydrogen system at its Lawson 5 well, located approximately 30 kilometers from its original Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan. The announcement, disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining, provides further evidence that the company's exploration strategy is yielding tangible results and could position it as a leader in Canada's emerging natural hydrogen sector.
The Lawson 5 well reached a depth of 2,175 meters and recovered 62 meters of core. Geological observations identified pronounced iron oxidation, alteration, and serpentinization associated with elevated natural hydrogen levels. These findings are critical because they confirm the presence of an active, generative hydrogen system along the western edge of the Prairie Evaporite, a geological formation that may host significant hydrogen accumulations. The confirmation at Lawson 5 follows the company's earlier discovery at the Lawson Complex, which was validated by three independent labs, and extends the known hydrogen footprint.
Drilling is now underway at Lawson 6, approximately eight kilometers southeast of Lawson 5, as MAX Power continues to delineate the extent of the system. The company has identified active hydrogen systems in three areas spanning up to 365 kilometers across Saskatchewan, including the Lawson Complex, Lawson 5, and Bracken. This district-scale potential is underpinned by approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits, giving MAX Power a dominant land position in the region.
Beyond exploration, MAX Power has begun a completions program at Bracken, with testing at the Lawson Complex scheduled to follow. This program is designed to evaluate hydrogen concentrations, flow rates, reservoir pressures, and other characteristics necessary to assess commercial viability. Successful testing could pave the way for production, which would be a major milestone for the company and for Canada's hydrogen economy.
Financially, MAX Power reported raising approximately $1.66 million through warrant and stock option exercises between September 1 and October 15, 2026. The company also announced participation in two Toronto investor conferences on October 28 and disclosed agreements covering advisory services and expanded investor marketing activities. These moves suggest MAX Power is shoring up its resources and visibility as it advances its exploration programs.
