MAX Power Mining provided a year-end shareholder update highlighting a transformational 2025 that established the company as a global leader in natural hydrogen exploration. During the year, the company expanded its board, management, technical and advisory teams while advancing Canada's first deep well specifically targeting natural hydrogen at its Lawson project in Saskatchewan.
The company secured strategic international partnerships and attracted significant new capital, with its share price reaching new all-time highs. MAX Power Mining is entering 2026 with strong momentum, a strengthened balance sheet and a disciplined plan focused on advancing additional drilling along the Genesis Trend and progressing toward potential commercialization.
External validation came from strategic investments including participation by Eric Sprott and a partnership with Vietnam-based Bitexco. The company also continued advancement of its diversified strategy through its U.S. subsidiary, Homeland Critical Minerals, positioning MAX Power Mining for what management expects to be its most dynamic year to date.
MAX Power has built a dominant district-scale land position in Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. Canada's first-ever deep well specifically targeting natural hydrogen has been drilled by MAX Power at its Lawson target on the Genesis Trend, with analytic and completion test phases running concurrently after natural hydrogen and helium were confirmed in multiple horizons.
The company's portfolio also includes 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, 100%-owned by MAX Power's U.S. subsidiary Homeland Critical Minerals Corp.

This development matters because natural hydrogen represents a potentially transformative energy source that could accelerate decarbonization efforts globally. As countries seek alternatives to fossil fuels, natural hydrogen extracted from geological formations offers a clean energy solution that doesn't require energy-intensive production methods like electrolysis. MAX Power's progress in Saskatchewan positions Canada as a potential leader in this emerging sector, which could have significant implications for energy security, industrial decarbonization, and the transition to cleaner energy systems worldwide.
The company's advancement toward commercialization suggests natural hydrogen may become a viable energy resource sooner than previously anticipated, potentially disrupting traditional energy markets and creating new opportunities in the clean energy transition. Strategic investments from notable figures like Eric Sprott and international partnerships indicate growing confidence in the sector's potential, which could attract further capital and accelerate development of natural hydrogen resources globally.
