MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced it has retained GLJ Ltd., a Calgary-based energy consulting firm, to support commercial evaluation of the Lawson Natural Hydrogen system in Saskatchewan following 3D seismic results that significantly expanded the project's interpreted scale. GLJ will focus on resource modeling, development potential and optimization of an expanded drill program targeting Natural Hydrogen and Helium across the 28 sq. km Lawson Complex, while also contributing to development of the Company's AI-driven MAXX LEMI platform.
The engagement of GLJ marks a critical step in advancing what MAX Power describes as Canada's first-ever subsurface Natural Hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling with data validated by three independent labs. The Lawson Discovery, located near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, has garnered attention due to its potential for large-volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen, a zero-carbon energy source that could play a role in the global energy transition. The company has built a dominant district-scale land position across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits, plus an additional 5.7 million acres under application.
The significance of this announcement lies in the validation and expansion of the project's scale through 3D seismic technology, which provides a more detailed subsurface image. This allows GLJ to develop more accurate resource models and optimize drilling targets for both Natural Hydrogen and Helium. Helium is a critical gas used in medical imaging, electronics manufacturing, and space exploration, and its co-occurrence with hydrogen could enhance the project's economic viability.
MAX Power is positioning itself at the forefront of the Natural Hydrogen exploration sector, which is still in its infancy but holds promise for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries. The company's commitment to responsible exploration and development practices, including environmental stewardship and community engagement, aligns with broader industry trends toward sustainable resource extraction.
The company also holds a portfolio of critical mineral properties, including the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, where a 2024 diamond drilling discovery was made. This diversification across energy and critical minerals underscores MAX Power's strategy to capitalize on the shift to decarbonization.
