MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has confirmed the presence of a natural hydrogen system at its Lawson 5 well, located approximately 30 kilometers from its original Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan. The announcement, disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining, signals a significant step in the company's exploration efforts and underscores the potential for a new energy resource in the region.
The Lawson 5 well reached a depth of 2,175 meters and recovered 62 meters of core. Geological observations identified pronounced iron oxidation, alteration, and serpentinization associated with elevated natural hydrogen levels. These findings confirm an active, generative natural hydrogen system along the western edge of the Prairie Evaporite. Drilling is now underway at Lawson 6, approximately eight kilometers southeast, as the company continues to expand its exploration footprint.
The confirmation at Lawson 5 is particularly important because it represents the third area where MAX Power has identified active natural hydrogen systems, spanning up to 365 kilometers across Saskatchewan. The other two areas are the Lawson Complex and Bracken. This widespread presence suggests a district-scale opportunity, positioning the company at the forefront of natural hydrogen exploration in Canada. According to MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N), the Lawson Discovery is Canada's first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling, with data validated by three independent labs.
MAX Power has begun a completions program at Bracken, with testing at the Lawson Complex scheduled to follow. This program will evaluate hydrogen concentrations, flow rates, reservoir pressures, and other characteristics necessary to assess commercial viability. The results of these tests will be critical in determining whether the natural hydrogen systems can be economically developed, which could have major implications for the future of low-carbon energy in Canada and beyond.
In addition to its exploration progress, MAX Power reported raising approximately $1.66 million through warrant and stock option exercises between September 1 and October 15, 2026. The company also announced its participation in two Toronto investor conferences on October 28 and disclosed agreements covering advisory services and expanded investor marketing activities. These moves indicate that MAX Power is actively engaging with the investment community to support its exploration and development plans.

The confirmation of a natural hydrogen system at Lawson 5 is a key milestone for MAX Power and for the natural hydrogen sector as a whole. With multiple systems identified across a vast area and testing now underway, the company is moving closer to demonstrating the commercial potential of this emerging resource. As the world seeks cleaner energy alternatives, natural hydrogen could play a significant role, and MAX Power's progress in Saskatchewan will be closely watched by industry stakeholders and investors alike.
