MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) (FRANKFURT: 89N) has announced that an independent petrophysical evaluation by GLJ Ltd. has identified multiple prospective natural hydrogen and helium target zones at the company’s Bracken exploration well in Saskatchewan, approximately 325 kilometers southwest of the Lawson discovery. The findings support MAX Power’s basin-scale geological model and reinforce plans to begin a comprehensive completion and testing program at Bracken in the second half of July, alongside commercial validation drilling at Lawson.
The company said Bracken is the first step-out test from Lawson and has demonstrated geological characteristics similar to the discovery well, strengthening the potential for a broader regional natural hydrogen system. GLJ’s analysis confirmed multiple priority testing intervals spanning the Precambrian basement through Devonian formations, with the company aiming to evaluate the scale, continuity and commercial potential of stacked natural hydrogen and helium reservoirs across its 750-square-kilometer Grasslands Project.
MAX Power’s 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. The company 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. 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, 100%-owned by MAX Power’s U.S. subsidiary.
The independent validation at Bracken is a significant step for MAX Power as it advances its exploration for natural hydrogen, a potential low-carbon energy source. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
