Max Power Mining Advances Canadian Hydrogen Project with Major Seismic Campaign

Max Power Mining CA57778R1001

Max Power Mining is accelerating the commercial assessment of its Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery in Saskatchewan. In a significant development announced Tuesday, the company has initiated a comprehensive 3D seismic program. This move represents a pivotal phase in delineating what could become Canada's first confirmed natural hydrogen system.

The company's exploration strategy is expanding along the extensive 475-kilometer "Genesis Trend." Management has pinpointed a minimum of 80 additional structures that share key geological characteristics with the initial Lawson discovery.

Specific targets, including Radville and Lucky Lake, are now being prioritized for a multi-well drilling campaign scheduled for the latter half of 2026. To support this regional evaluation, Max Power Mining is incorporating existing 2D trade seismic data into its AI-powered exploration platform.

Tetra Tech Awarded Key Survey Contract

Execution of the 3D seismic initiative has been entrusted to Tetra Tech, a global consulting and engineering firm. Survey work at the Lawson Discovery site near Central Butte is slated to commence the week of February 23, 2026.

All necessary permits for the 47-square-kilometer survey are secured. The primary objective is to acquire a high-resolution subsurface dataset. This information will enable geologists to accurately map potential hydrogen-bearing structural traps?a fundamental prerequisite for developing resource models and estimates ahead of a confirmation drilling program.

Concurrent Laboratory Analysis:

• AGAT Laboratories (Calgary) is conducting porosity and permeability analyses.
• The University of Windsor is running an isotope analysis program.
• Data from both streams will be integrated to formulate a preliminary resource model.

Commercial Dialogue Intensifies

According to the company, discussions are underway with several potential end-users for natural hydrogen. Focus is centered on the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor, a regional hub for heavy industry and agriculture that lies directly along the Genesis Trend.

This development follows the confirmation on January 16, 2026, of a functioning natural hydrogen subsurface system at the Lawson site. The forthcoming 3D seismic data is expected to provide critical clarity on the project's potential commercial viability.
