MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the City of Moose Jaw to jointly explore strategic opportunities related to natural hydrogen commercialization within the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor. The partnership supports advancement of the company’s Lawson Natural Hydrogen project toward commercial validation.
The MOU is intended to align regional infrastructure, industrial development, policy and economic initiatives as MAX Power works to position Saskatchewan as a potential hub for domestically sourced clean energy innovation and long-term economic growth. The collaboration could have significant implications for the region, potentially attracting investment and creating jobs in the emerging natural hydrogen sector.
Natural hydrogen, also known as white hydrogen, is generated by geological processes and could provide a low-carbon energy source. 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.
The MOU with Moose Jaw is a key step in advancing the commercial viability of natural hydrogen. By working with municipal authorities, MAX Power aims to leverage existing infrastructure and industrial corridors to accelerate development. The initiative could serve as a model for other regions seeking to tap into natural hydrogen resources.
MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. In addition to its Saskatchewan natural hydrogen projects, the company holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals. These properties are 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. MAX Power is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
