MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) is set to present its Lawson Natural Hydrogen program at the IMAGE '26 conference in Houston on August 19. President and Director Chad Levesque will provide an overview of Canada's first confirmed subsurface Natural Hydrogen system, located at the Lawson Complex in south-central Saskatchewan, and detail ongoing drilling efforts aimed at what the company describes as the world's first large-scale commercial discovery of a new primary energy source.
The presentation comes as the Lawson Complex advances through a multi-well commercial validation program designed to define the system's scale, continuity, reservoir characteristics, and commercial potential. The first well in the program, Lawson 2, encountered approximately 860 meters of continuous elevated Natural Hydrogen readings, including the highest readings recorded to date at Lawson. This well also provided evidence of an enhanced fracture system within the Precambrian basement complex, a key indicator of reservoir quality. Drilling has since progressed to Lawson 3, which is positioned to provide a third data point as MAX Power works to better understand the deposit's potential volume.
The significance of this program extends beyond MAX Power's operations. Natural hydrogen, also known as white or gold hydrogen, is generated naturally in the earth's subsurface and could offer a low-carbon energy source that does not require the energy-intensive processes used to produce green or blue hydrogen. If the Lawson system proves to be commercially viable, it could represent a major shift in how hydrogen is sourced, potentially impacting energy markets and decarbonization efforts worldwide. The company has already secured approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits across Saskatchewan, covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen.
MAX Power's broader portfolio includes critical mineral properties in the United States and Canada, highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, which is 100% owned by MAX Power's U.S. subsidiary. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
The presentation at IMAGE '26, a leading conference for applied geoscience and energy, offers a platform for MAX Power to share its findings with industry experts and potential partners. The company's progress at Lawson could have significant implications for the energy sector, as natural hydrogen may provide a scalable, low-carbon alternative to conventional energy sources. Investors and industry observers will be watching closely as MAX Power continues its drilling program and moves toward a potential commercial discovery.
