Executive Summary

  • MAX Power Mining Corp. is advancing its Lawson natural hydrogen project in Saskatchewan toward commercial evaluation following preliminary results from a completed 3D seismic survey.
  • The company has engaged independent engineering firm GLJ Ltd. for reservoir evaluation and resource modeling, while preparing for confirmatory drilling and flow testing to define system scale and continuity.
  • Unusually strong helium concentrations (averaging ~4.4%, peaking at 8.7%) were identified alongside natural hydrogen, adding strategic economic value given global supply constraints and AI infrastructure demand.

Key Details

  • Seismic Results: Preliminary 3D seismic survey delineated a coherent structural closure with an estimated aerial extent of ~14.2 sq km within the broader 28 sq km Lawson Complex.
  • Commercial Assessment: Engaging GLJ Ltd. for reservoir evaluation, resource modeling, and reserve analysis to bridge geological confirmation with production planning and development potential.
  • Exploration Next Steps: Preparing for additional confirmatory drilling, flow testing, and reservoir evaluation to determine scale, continuity, and flow characteristics of the subsurface accumulation.
  • Helium Concentrations: Lawson system features average helium concentrations of ~4.4% with peaks reaching 8.7%, well above conventional economic thresholds, positioning the project as a potential dual natural hydrogen/helium source.
  • Genesis Trend Potential: The Lawson discovery is part of a 475-kilometer basin-scale system extending across Saskatchewan. Nearby targets like Lawson South are being evaluated, and early drilling at Bracken (325 km southwest) also encountered natural hydrogen and helium intervals.
  • Leadership Appointment: Tony Van Burgsteden appointed as Chief Financial Officer to oversee development planning, capital frameworks, and expanded field operations.
  • AI-Assisted Exploration: Developing MAXX LEMI, a proprietary AI platform designed to integrate seismic data, drilling results, and subsurface modeling to improve targeting precision and support scalable discovery across the broader Genesis Trend.
