MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) said GLJ Ltd., working alongside the company's geological team, has identified evidence of a deep conduit near Lawson 4 at its Lawson Natural Hydrogen Complex in Saskatchewan, a result the company expects to use to improve targeting of perforation intervals during its upcoming completions program.
The interpretation draws on integrated geological data from Lawson 1 through Lawson 4 and reprocessed proprietary 3D seismic surveys. According to the announcement, those datasets indicate an interconnected fault and fracture system together with a newly interpreted four-way structural closure. The Lawson Conduit extends beyond the limits of current seismic imaging, suggesting a potentially deep crustal origin for the system.
The finding matters because it could determine how effectively MAX Power tests the reservoir. At least six intervals have been identified at Lawson 4 for testing hydrogen concentrations, flow rates and reservoir characteristics. MAX Power anticipates beginning completions during the week of Nov. 9, 2026, as it evaluates the commercial potential of the Lawson discovery. For readers and investors tracking the emerging natural hydrogen sector, the completions program represents one of the first concrete tests of whether deep subsurface hydrogen accumulations in Canada can be measured at flow rates that matter commercially.
The company is also planning a large aeromagnetic survey to refine exploration targets across approximately 2.5 million acres of permitted land in Saskatchewan. CEO Rob Norris said the company is exploring opportunities to expand development across its land holdings while engaging international energy groups. MAX Power will additionally present its Lawson discovery at the H-NAT Summit in Paris on Nov. 3-4, highlighting its efforts to advance natural hydrogen exploration toward potential commercial production.

MAX Power describes itself as an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. Its Lawson Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, is described as Canada's first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling, with data validated by three independent labs. The company reports 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. It also holds 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 its U.S. subsidiary.
The broader significance extends beyond a single well. Natural hydrogen is attracting attention as a potentially low-carbon energy source, and confirmation of a deep conduit feeding the Lawson system could inform how the industry models migration pathways and traps.
