Max Power enters next phase for Lawson, Genesis

Executive Summary

• Max Power Mining Corp. has contracted Tetra Tech to conduct a 47‑km² 3‑D seismic acquisition at the Lawson natural hydrogen discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, with field work slated for the week of Feb. 23, 2026.
• The company is advancing a multi‑well drill program along the 475‑km Genesis trend, having identified at least 80 additional structures of interest that could host repeatable natural hydrogen accumulations.
• Ongoing laboratory analyses (porosity/permeability at Agat Laboratories and isotopic studies at the University of Windsor) will feed into a preliminary resource estimate and guide placement of a confirmatory well to validate commerciality.

Key Details

• Seismic Survey Contract: Tetra Tech will manage field operations, quality control, data processing and interpretation for the 3‑D seismic program; all permits and approvals are already secured.
• Survey Scope & Timing: 47 sq km area; acquisition to commence week of Feb. 23, 2026.
• Laboratory Work: Porosity and permeability analysis underway at Agat Laboratories (Calgary); isotopic analytical program ongoing at the University of Windsor.
• Resource Modelling: Integration of core‑based analytics with 3‑D seismic data will produce a preliminary natural hydrogen resource estimate and identify optimal location for a confirmatory well at Lawson.
• Genesis Trend Potential: >80 additional structures (e.g., Radville, Lucky Lake) identified; being prioritized for the 2026 multi‑well drill program. 2‑D trade seismic data to be acquired and fed into the AI‑assisted Maxx Lemi platform for efficient target selection.
• End‑User Discussions: Multiple potential industrial end‑users have expressed interest in sourcing natural hydrogen from the Genesis trend if commercial deposits are proven.
• Strategic Location: The Genesis trend runs through the Regina‑Moose Jaw industrial corridor, a hub for heavy industry, agriculture, logistics and technology, offering a domestic clean‑energy supply opportunity.
• CEO Comment (Ran Narayanasamy): Emphasized “months to molecules” strategy targeting commercial validation and highlighted the potential of Genesis as a nation‑building natural hydrogen project.
• Chief Geoscientist Comment (Steve Halabura): Confirmed that Lawson validates Max Power’s five‑element system model (source rocks, migration pathways, reservoirs, traps, seals) for natural hydrogen deposits.

Notable Quotes

“We are moving rapidly at Lawson with an aggressive months to molecules strategy targeting commercial validation… the repeatability and scalability potential of Genesis creates the opportunity for the birth of the world’s first natural hydrogen industry in Saskatchewan.” – Ran Narayanasamy, CEO

“Lawson is a structural play… 3‑D seismic is exactly what it means – sound waves are used to image individual geological horizons…” – Steve Halabura, Chief Geoscientist
