MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has taken a significant step toward integrating clean energy with artificial intelligence infrastructure by signing a memorandum of understanding with TerraVolt Energy, EcoTech Building Solutions and Carbon Neutral Growth Fund. The agreement aims to evaluate the use of Natural Hydrogen and associated brine waters from the company's Lawson Complex in Saskatchewan to power and cool next-generation AI and high-performance computing facilities.
The collaboration follows recent technical advances at the Lawson Natural Hydrogen discovery, which represents Canada's first confirmed subsurface Natural Hydrogen system validated through deep drilling and independent lab data. The parties will assess the potential for on-site power generation, cooling systems, modular AI data centers and distributed computing infrastructure using locally sourced Natural Hydrogen and produced brine waters. MAX Power said the framework could support a cleaner model for AI infrastructure development by combining renewable power, water recycling and distributed deployment.
This initiative also aligns with Canada's sovereign AI compute strategy, which seeks to build domestic computing capacity. The company believes successful validation at Lawson could create a new category of integrated energy and AI infrastructure development and provide a repeatable model across Saskatchewan's Genesis Trend. With approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground for large-volume Natural Hydrogen accumulations, MAX Power holds a dominant district-scale land position in the province.
The growing demand for AI infrastructure has raised concerns about energy consumption and environmental impact. By pairing Natural Hydrogen—a zero-carbon energy source—with modular data centers, MAX Power aims to address both sustainability and energy security. The brine waters from the Lawson Complex could also be used for cooling, reducing freshwater usage. If successful, this model could be replicated in other regions, potentially transforming how AI infrastructure is powered and built.
MAX Power is also advancing its critical minerals portfolio, including a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona, 100%-owned by its U.S. subsidiary. The company remains committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship and community engagement.
