Max Power Expands Natural Hydrogen Discovery Potential, 325 km SW of First Drilling on Genesis Trend

Executive Summary

  • MAX Power announced the identification of “Bracken,” its first high‑priority drill target beyond the Genesis Trend, located ~325 km southwest of the Lawson well.
  • Drilling at Bracken is slated to begin on or about 7 Nov 2025, marking the company’s second deep‑well test for natural hydrogen in Canada.
  • The company will acquire proprietary 2D seismic data this quarter to better image a key basement structure and refine the optimal drill location as part of its multi‑well “Test of Concept” program.

Key Details

  • Target Location: Bracken, southwest corner of Saskatchewan, ~15 km from the Montana border; ~325 km SW of Lawson.
  • Project Context: Part of the Grasslands Project (120,000 permitted acres) within a “mobile zone” featuring rare rock assemblages and proximity to known natural hydrogen/helium occurrences.
  • Drilling Schedule: Commencement targeted for 7 Nov 2025; will be Canada’s second deep well dedicated to natural hydrogen.
  • Seismic Program: Proprietary 2D seismic acquisition approved; shooting planned in Q4 2025 to image a significant basement structure (Val Marie Arch).
  • Geological Rationale: Bracken exhibits contrasting low‑gravity/low‑magnetic and high‑density/high‑magnetic zones, indicating exotic terranes with hydrogen‑prone mafic/ultramafic rocks and a rare carbonatite intrusion linked to subsurface natural hydrogen ~10 km NW.
  • Strategic Significance: Expands the company’s scalable district‑scale discovery platform beyond Lawson; reinforces continuity of the natural hydrogen model across Saskatchewan.
  • Investor Implications: Broadens the resource base, enhances optionality, and supports positioning as a leader in the emerging clean‑energy natural hydrogen sector.

Notable Quotes

“Bracken and Lawson are equally compelling… Natural Hydrogen discoveries can occur in different geological settings, just like gold and other metal deposits.” – Steve Halabura, P.Geo., Chief Geoscientist
