MAX Power Mining Corp. (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. The engagement follows 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 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. This project is part of MAX Power's broader strategy to explore for natural hydrogen, a potential zero-carbon energy source. The company has built dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits, plus an additional 5.7 million acres under application, covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen.
The engagement of GLJ Ltd., a respected energy consulting firm, signals a move toward commercial viability assessment. For leaders in business and technology, this development highlights the growing interest in natural hydrogen as a clean energy source. Natural hydrogen, also known as white hydrogen, is generated naturally through geological processes and could provide a low-cost, low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels. If commercialized, the Lawson project could position Canada as a leader in this emerging sector.
MAX Power also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, including a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona. 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 to the energy industry, which is increasingly looking for sustainable alternatives to traditional hydrocarbons. Natural hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry and transportation. For investors, the project represents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity in a nascent market. The use of AI through the MAXX LEMI platform could enhance exploration efficiency, reducing costs and time to discovery.
