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.
This presentation at IMAGE '26 underscores the growing interest in Natural Hydrogen as a potential clean energy source. Unlike traditional hydrogen production methods, which require energy-intensive processes, Natural Hydrogen is naturally occurring and could provide a low-carbon alternative. If the Lawson Complex proves to be a commercial-scale discovery, it could significantly impact the energy industry by offering a new, potentially abundant source of primary energy.
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. The company 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.
The implications of this announcement are far-reaching. For the energy sector, a viable Natural Hydrogen resource could reduce dependence on fossil fuels and help meet decarbonization goals. For investors, the potential commercial development of the Lawson Complex could position MAX Power as a first-mover in a new energy frontier. For the public, it represents a step toward cleaner energy options and energy security.
