MAX Power Confirms Lead Target for Canada’s First Dedicated Natural Hydrogen Well

• Drill-ready “Lawson” target on 200-km-long Genesis Trend in southern Saskatchewan is data-rich and features all five critical elements for a Natural Hydrogen accumulation
• Well licensing begins imminently followed by Q4 drilling
• MAX Power’s Natural Hydrogen team is assessing at least 20 Lawson “look-a-likes” at Genesis
• MAX Power releases Saskatchewan Natural Hydrogen documentary video – maxpowermining.com/NaturalHydrogen-NewEra
  
  

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; Frankfurt: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) announces that its geological team has delineated a robust "test of concept" drill target ("Lawson") in the heart of the 200-km-long Genesis Trend in southern Saskatchewan for the first-ever deep well in Canada specifically targeting Natural Hydrogen. Well licensing begins imminently, followed by the start of drilling in Q4.

Highlights

• First mover, first well: Lawson is designed as Canada’s first deep well specifically targeting Natural Hydrogen, initiating a multi-well program across MAX Power’s ~1.3 million acres - the largest permitted Natural Hydrogen land package in the country with another 5.7 million acres under application.
• Complete five-element system: At Lawson, integrated datasets indicate the five critical elements for a potential accumulation - source rocks, migration pathways, reservoirs, seals, and traps - are all present, in addition to 4-way closure;
• “Salt Barrier” advantage: The target sits at the regional Prairie Evaporite margin - a large “Salt Barrier” that can be expected to serve as an effective trap and seal for Natural Hydrogen.
• Data-driven targeting: Lawson has been refined with ~180 line-km of vintage and proprietary 2D seismic, regional aeromagnetics/gravity, subsurface mapping, and other data processed by MAX Power’s in-house Prospect Ranking Tool.
• Sector tailwinds: Global strategics and majors are now backing Natural Hydrogen explorers, underscoring the near-term commercial relevance of the theme.
  
  

Mr. Steve Halabura, P.Geo., FGC, FEC (Hon.), Chief Geoscientist for MAX Power, commented: “Unlocking Lawson will de-risk at least 20 potential look-alikes along the Genesis Trend. The scale here is remarkable. Lawson checks the five boxes we look for in a Natural Hydrogen system, and it sits against an exceptional regional seal in the Prairie Evaporite. This is the right target to begin proving the Natural Hydrogen exploration thesis in Saskatchewan.”
