MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that President and Director Chad Levesque will present at IMAGE '26 – International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy on Aug. 19 in Houston. Levesque will provide an overview of Canada's first confirmed Natural Hydrogen system at the Lawson Complex in south-central Saskatchewan and ongoing drilling aimed at delineating what the company describes as the world's first large-scale commercial discovery of a new primary energy source.
The Lawson Complex is advancing through a multi-well commercial validation program designed to define the system's scale, continuity, reservoir characteristics and commercial potential. The first well in the program, Lawson 2, encountered approximately 860 meters of continuous elevated Natural Hydrogen readings, including the highest readings recorded to date at Lawson, while providing evidence of an enhanced fracture system within the Precambrian basement complex. Drilling has since advanced to Lawson 3, which is positioned to provide a third data point as MAX Power works to better understand the deposit's potential volume.
The presentation at IMAGE '26 is significant because it brings this pioneering work to a global audience of geoscientists and energy professionals. Natural hydrogen, produced naturally in the earth's subsurface, could offer a low-carbon energy source that is continuously generated, presenting a paradigm shift in the search for clean energy. The Lawson project, if validated as commercially viable, could position Canada as a leader in this emerging field and provide a new domestic energy resource.
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. This extensive land position underscores the company's commitment to exploring and developing this resource, which could have far-reaching implications for the energy industry and the global transition to decarbonization.
The potential impact of a commercial natural hydrogen discovery is substantial. It could provide a new, clean, and potentially inexhaustible energy source that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and helps mitigate climate change. For the industry, it represents a new frontier in energy exploration, with the potential to create new markets and technologies. For the world, it offers hope for a sustainable energy future.
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 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. MAX Power is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
