MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that President and Director Chad Levesque will present at IMAGE '26 – International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy on Aug. 19 in Houston. The presentation will provide an overview of Canada's first confirmed Natural Hydrogen system at the Lawson Complex in south-central Saskatchewan, and ongoing drilling aimed at delineating what the company describes as the world's first large-scale commercial discovery of a new primary energy source.
The Lawson Complex is advancing through a multi-well commercial validation program designed to define the system's scale, continuity, reservoir characteristics, and commercial potential. The first well in the program, Lawson 2, encountered approximately 860 meters of continuous elevated Natural Hydrogen readings, including the highest readings recorded to date at Lawson, while providing evidence of an enhanced fracture system within the Precambrian basement complex. Drilling has since advanced to Lawson 3, which is positioned to provide a third data point as MAX Power works to better understand the deposit's potential volume.
The significance of this program extends beyond the company's immediate prospects. Natural Hydrogen, also known as white or gold hydrogen, is generated naturally in the Earth's subsurface and could offer a carbon-free energy source with minimal environmental footprint. If commercialized, it could provide a new primary energy source that complements intermittent renewables and supports the global transition to decarbonization.
MAX Power 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. The company 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.
The presentation at IMAGE '26 is a key opportunity for MAX Power to share its findings with the global geoscience community, which could accelerate interest and investment in Natural Hydrogen exploration. The company's progress at Lawson could position Canada as a leader in this emerging energy sector, with potential implications for energy security and climate goals.
As MAX Power continues its drilling program, the industry will be watching closely for results that could confirm the commercial viability of Natural Hydrogen. The company's commitment to responsible exploration and development practices, as highlighted in its approach, aims to ensure that any future production aligns with environmental stewardship and community engagement.
