MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the City of Moose Jaw to jointly explore strategic opportunities related to natural hydrogen commercialization within the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor. This partnership supports the advancement of the company’s Lawson Natural Hydrogen project toward commercial validation.
The collaboration is designed to align regional infrastructure, industrial development, policy, and economic initiatives as MAX Power works to position Saskatchewan as a potential hub for domestically sourced clean energy innovation and long-term economic growth. The MOU underscores a shared commitment to leveraging the region’s resources and capabilities to advance the emerging natural hydrogen sector.
MAX Power’s Lawson Discovery, located near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents Canada’s first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling, with data validated by three independent laboratories. The company has built dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan, holding approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen.
This natural hydrogen, also known as white hydrogen, is generated naturally through geological processes and is considered a potentially low-carbon energy source. If commercialized, it could provide a clean alternative to fossil fuels and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The partnership with Moose Jaw could accelerate the development of infrastructure and regulatory frameworks needed to bring this resource to market.
MAX Power is also active in critical minerals, holding a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada. These include the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, where a 2024 diamond drilling discovery was made at the 100%-owned project through its U.S. subsidiary. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond the company and the city. If successful, Saskatchewan could emerge as a leader in natural hydrogen production, attracting investment and creating jobs in clean energy. The Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor, with its existing infrastructure and industrial base, is well-suited to support such development. This MOU could serve as a model for other regions looking to harness natural hydrogen for economic and environmental benefits.
