MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) is preparing to mobilize Savanna Drill Rig #629 and crew for Lawson 5, the company’s largest step-out to date from its Lawson Complex Natural Hydrogen Discovery. The well will target an area approximately 27 to 31 kilometers northeast of Lawson 1 through Lawson 4, marking a significant expansion of exploration efforts in Saskatchewan.
The Lawson 5 well is designed to test the scale potential of the broader Genesis Trend, both across a 30-km mobile belt and along the 475-km Salt Wall that extends toward the North Dakota border. This step-out is critical because it will provide data on whether the natural hydrogen system extends far beyond the initial discovery area, which could substantially increase the resource potential of MAX Power’s district-scale land position.
The announcement follows the successful casing and cementing of Lawson 4, which encountered the highest natural hydrogen readings to date at Lawson, along with a thick basal Cambrian reservoir featuring high permeability and porosity. These characteristics are essential for commercial extraction, as high permeability and porosity allow for efficient flow of hydrogen. The company is also planning near-term completions programs at Lawson and Bracken, where independent evaluation identified multiple prospective natural hydrogen and helium zones. Helium is a valuable byproduct that can enhance project economics.
Data from the expanded drilling and completions programs will feed MAXX LEMI, the company’s AI-assisted proprietary platform, which is expected to improve targeting and efficiency. This integration of advanced technology underscores MAX Power’s commitment to leveraging innovation in its exploration efforts.
MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. The 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 has built dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. MAX Power also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, 100%-owned by MAX Power’s U.S. subsidiary.
For investors, the Lawson 5 step-out and the upcoming completions programs represent key catalysts that could validate the scale and commercial viability of the Genesis Trend. Success could position MAX Power as a leader in the emerging natural hydrogen sector, which is gaining attention as a clean energy source. The company’s commitment to responsible exploration and development practices, including environmental stewardship and community engagement, further strengthens its appeal.
