MAX Power Mining Advances Second Natural Hydrogen Target in Saskatchewan

MAX Power Mining announced it has identified a robust near-term drilling target for a second natural hydrogen play concept in Saskatchewan, advancing toward licensing to commence the Bracken well along the Saskatchewan-Montana border in February. Building on its confirmed natural hydrogen discovery at Lawson within the 475-km Genesis Trend, the company is progressing analytical testing, resource modeling, and estimation while simultaneously expanding exploration to demonstrate basin-scale continuity and scalability.

The Bracken target was generated through an integrated geophysical and geological workflow using newly acquired proprietary 2D seismic and legacy data, and will test a stratigraphic play concept distinct from the structural model at Lawson, with potential associated helium, supported by the company’s AI-assisted MAXX LEMI platform. This development represents a significant step in MAX Power’s strategy to build a dominant district-scale land position with approximately 1.3 million acres of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large volume accumulations of natural hydrogen.

The company’s expansion to a second target area comes as it positions itself as a first mover in the rapidly growing natural hydrogen sector, which is gaining attention as part of North America’s shift to decarbonization. High priority initial drill target areas have been identified for commencement of drilling in Q4 2025, with the Bracken well representing the next immediate step in the company’s exploration timeline.

MAX Power’s approach combines traditional geological methods with advanced technology, including its proprietary AI platform, to identify and evaluate natural hydrogen prospects. The company’s news and updates are available through its communications channels, including specialized platforms that focus on developments in the global mining and resources sectors. These platforms provide access to wire solutions and content distribution networks that help disseminate information to investors and industry observers.

The identification of the Bracken target demonstrates the company’s systematic approach to exploration in this emerging energy sector. By testing different geological play concepts across its extensive land position, MAX Power aims to establish the commercial potential of natural hydrogen accumulations in the region. This work occurs alongside the company’s portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, including its 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona.
