MAX Power to Present Natural Hydrogen Program at IMAGE ’26, Highlighting Potential World-First Commercial Discovery

MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that President and Director Chad Levesque will present at IMAGE ’26 – International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy on Aug. 19 in Houston. Levesque will provide an overview of Canada’s first confirmed Natural Hydrogen system at the Lawson Complex in south-central Saskatchewan and ongoing drilling aimed at delineating what the company describes as the world’s first large-scale commercial discovery of a new primary energy source.

The Lawson Complex is advancing 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, while providing evidence of an enhanced fracture system within the Precambrian basement complex. Drilling has since advanced to Lawson 3, which is positioned to provide a third data point as MAX Power works to better understand the deposit’s potential volume.

This presentation at IMAGE ’26 is significant because it brings the Lawson Natural Hydrogen program to a global audience of geoscientists and energy professionals. 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 requires minimal processing. If successfully commercialized, it could reshape the energy landscape by providing a new primary energy source that is both abundant and environmentally friendly.

MAX Power 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 company also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona.

The implications of this announcement are substantial. If MAX Power successfully validates the commercial viability of the Lawson Complex, it could pioneer a new industry. Natural hydrogen has the potential to be a game-changer in the global transition to clean energy, providing a reliable and low-carbon energy source that can be produced domestically. The ongoing drilling and validation program at Lawson will be closely watched by industry stakeholders, investors, and policymakers alike.
