MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that GLJ Ltd., in collaboration with the company's geological team, has identified evidence of a deep conduit near Lawson 4 at its Lawson Natural Hydrogen Complex in Saskatchewan. The findings, derived from integrated geological data across Lawson 1 through Lawson 4 and reprocessed proprietary 3D seismic surveys, point to an interconnected fault and fracture system and a newly interpreted four-way structural closure. The Lawson Conduit extends beyond current seismic imaging limits, suggesting a potentially deep crustal origin for the hydrogen system.
The updated geological model is expected to enhance the targeting of perforation intervals during the upcoming completions program. At least six intervals have been identified at Lawson 4 for testing hydrogen concentrations, flow rates, and reservoir characteristics. MAX Power anticipates beginning completions during the week of Nov. 9, 2026, as it evaluates the commercial potential of the Lawson discovery. The company also plans a large aeromagnetic survey to refine exploration targets across approximately 2.5 million acres of permitted land in Saskatchewan.
CEO Rob Norris said the company is exploring opportunities to expand development across its land holdings while engaging international energy groups. MAX Power will present its Lawson discovery at the H-NAT Summit in Paris on Nov. 3-4, highlighting its efforts to advance natural hydrogen exploration toward potential commercial production.

The identification of a deep conduit is significant because it supports the hypothesis that hydrogen is migrating from deep crustal sources, which could imply a more substantial and sustained resource than shallower accumulations. This matters for investors and the energy sector as natural hydrogen gains attention as a low-carbon fuel. MAX Power's Lawson Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents Canada's first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling, with data validated by three independent labs. The company holds approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen, as detailed on its company profile.
MAX Power also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, including a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, 100%-owned by its U.S. subsidiary. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
