MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has completed intermediate casing at its Lawson 5 well at approximately 1,100 meters measured depth and is now drilling toward the Prairie Evaporite, a geological formation interpreted as a key trap and seal for natural hydrogen accumulation. The update marks a significant step in the company’s efforts to expand what it describes as Canada’s first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling.
Lawson 5 is a 30-kilometer step-out northeast of Lawson 4 and is testing the potential west-to-east extension of the Lawson Natural Hydrogen system toward the Salt Wall. The Salt Wall Corridor extends approximately 475 kilometers north-south through the Genesis Trend to the Saskatchewan-North Dakota border. At deeper levels, MAX Power plans to investigate a faulted fracture system associated with dissolution of the evaporite salt as it seeks to expand the scale of the Lawson Discovery. The company said upcoming completions at Lawson and Bracken are designed to address composition, flow and deliverability, while data from each well will also contribute to the proprietary dataset supporting MAXX LEMI.
This development matters because natural hydrogen is gaining attention as a potential low-carbon energy source, and MAX Power’s Lawson Discovery represents a first-of-its-kind confirmation in Canada. The company holds approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits across Saskatchewan, covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. Success at Lawson 5 could significantly expand the known extent of the resource and bolster the case for commercial development.
MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. Its Lawson Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, has been validated by three independent labs. The company also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, 100%-owned by MAX Power’s U.S. subsidiary.
