MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N), a natural hydrogen exploration company, has appointed former Saskatchewan cabinet minister Rob Norris as chief executive officer as it advances toward a critical phase of technical evaluation and potential commercialization at its Lawson discovery in Saskatchewan, according to a recent HotCopper article by Jerry Collova.
The leadership change comes as the company prepares to begin completions testing at its Lawson and Bracken discoveries in the second half of October 2026. MAX Power has also strengthened its technical leadership with the appointments of Tom Kishchuk as chief technology officer and Brendan Bishop as chief geochemist.
The article highlights the company’s approximately 2.5 million acres of permitted land along Saskatchewan’s 475-kilometer Genesis Trend, including the Lawson discovery, where seismic interpretation has identified a 14.2-square-kilometer structural closure within a broader 28-square-kilometer system. Independent energy consulting firm GLJ Ltd. is conducting reservoir characterization, modeling and development scenario analysis to help assess the resource potential of the Lawson Complex.
Upcoming completions testing is expected to provide critical data on hydrogen concentrations, flow rates, reservoir characteristics and potential commercial viability. Collova also examines MAX Power’s proprietary MAXX LEMI AI-assisted exploration platform, its engagement with Kyndryl to develop a commercialization strategy for the technology and its evaluation of a potential U.S. stock exchange listing. The company is also considering a spinout of its critical minerals portfolio as it sharpens its focus on natural hydrogen.
While commercial production has not yet been established, the article identifies upcoming testing, independent technical assessments and strategic partnerships as key factors in determining the company’s development potential. MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. The company’s Lawson Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents Canada’s first-ever subsurface Natural Hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling with data validated by three independent labs.
MAX Power has built dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen. MAX Power 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.
