MAX Power Receives Drilling License for Canada’s First Dedicated Natural Hydrogen Well
MAX Power (OTC: MAXXF) received a drilling license for the Lawson target, the first well in its planned multi-well Natural Hydrogen program in southern Saskatchewan. The company expects to spud the Lawson well on or about November 7, 2025 with Lawson located on the 200-km Genesis Trend. Mobilization begins early November; onsite gas chromatographs and a dedicated mass spectrometer will sample for hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, and methane. MAX Power highlights a ~1.3 million acre permitted land package and will present at the H-Nat conference in Paris on Nov 13-14, 2025.

Lawson Drilling Set to Begin in Early November as MAX Power Advances Canada’s First Natural Hydrogen Well

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Oct. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the drilling license for the first well of its planned multi-well Natural Hydrogen drill program in southern Saskatchewan. Procurement of services and suppliers, including the drilling contractor, is complete, and the Lawson target well in the heart of the 200-km-long Genesis Trend will be spud on or about November 7, 2025.
Mr. Mansoor Jan, President and CEO of MAX Power, commented: “Receiving the well license marks a major step forward for MAX Power and the culmination of extensive technical, regulatory, and logistical preparation by our team. With the full support of the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources, and the province’s pro-innovation stance, we’re proud to be advancing Canada’s first dedicated Natural Hydrogen well at the Lawson target.”
Mansoor added, “The geology is compelling, and the opportunity is unique. If successful, this program could redefine how we think about clean baseload energy, and position Saskatchewan – and MAX Power – at the forefront of a new North American energy story.”
The geoscience program for Lawson will include the use of two gas chromatographs whose purpose is to sample any gas stream derived from the drilling mud for helium, nitrogen, and methane, and another specially designed mass spectrometer specifically for the detection of hydrogen.
More details regarding the Lawson program will be released ahead of the commencement of drilling.

Lawson Play Concept
The play concept being tested at Lawson is that of a complex basement structure that has allowed for fluid flow upward into the overlying Prairie Evaporite salt, causing it to dissolve and thus form an up-dip seal to migrating hydrogen (and potentially helium). Airborne geophysical analysis suggests that the underlying basement complex may consist of an exotic rock assemblage conducive to the formation of hydrogen, with gas generation enhancement provided by what has been interpreted on seismic to be a relatively young igneous intrusive plug. This test of concept well is designed to test the validity of this play concept, as it is the play type most likely to be encountered along the Genesis Trend where the technical team has identified multiple Lawson “look-a-likes”.
Lawson Well to Be Drilled as MAX Power Presents at The World’s Premier Natural Hydrogen Summit
MAX Power will have a significant presence at H-Nat in Paris, France, November 13-14, including a prime presentation slot to kick off the world’s largest Natural Hydrogen conference on the morning of Thursday, November 13. "Trailblazing a New Natural Hydrogen Arena in Saskatchewan, Canada” is a presentation that will highlight the geological and jurisdictional underpinnings of the largest permitted land package in Canada for the discovery of Natural Hydrogen, with updates on MAX Power’s exploration and well-drilling activity.
