MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with TerraVolt Energy, EcoTech Building Solutions and the Carbon Neutral Growth Fund to evaluate integrating Natural Hydrogen production, modular power systems, sustainable building infrastructure and associated brine waters from the Lawson Complex into next-generation artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure. The collaboration follows recent technical advances at the Lawson Natural Hydrogen discovery in Saskatchewan and is intended to explore commercialization pathways linking clean energy production with growing AI infrastructure demand.
The parties will assess the potential use of locally sourced Natural Hydrogen and produced brine waters for on-site power generation, cooling systems, modular AI data centers and distributed computing infrastructure. MAX Power said the framework could support a cleaner model for AI infrastructure development by combining renewable power, water recycling and distributed deployment, while also aligning with Canada’s sovereign AI compute strategy. 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.
Natural Hydrogen, also known as white hydrogen, is a naturally occurring hydrogen gas found in subsurface geological formations. MAX Power’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. The company 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 initiative comes at a time when AI and high-performance computing are experiencing exponential growth, driving massive energy demand. Traditional data centers are significant consumers of electricity and water, often relying on fossil fuels. By pairing Natural Hydrogen with modular power systems and brine water recycling, the project aims to reduce the carbon footprint of AI infrastructure while potentially lowering operational costs. The use of brine waters for cooling and other processes addresses water scarcity concerns in data center operations.
If successful, the model could be replicated across Saskatchewan’s Genesis Trend and beyond, positioning Canada as a leader in sustainable AI infrastructure. The partnership also aligns with Canada’s sovereign AI compute strategy, which seeks to build domestic computing capacity to support AI research and development. For investors, the MOU signals MAX Power’s strategic pivot from exploration to potential commercialization, adding a new revenue stream beyond mineral and energy sales.
