MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) (FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that an independent petrophysical evaluation by GLJ Ltd. has identified multiple prospective natural hydrogen and helium target zones at the company’s Bracken exploration well in Saskatchewan. The well is located approximately 325 kilometers southwest of the Lawson discovery. The findings support MAX Power’s basin-scale geological model and reinforce plans to begin a comprehensive completion and testing program at Bracken in the second half of July, alongside commercial validation drilling at Lawson.
The company stated that Bracken is the first step-out test from Lawson and has demonstrated geological characteristics similar to the discovery well, strengthening the potential for a broader regional natural hydrogen system. GLJ’s analysis confirmed multiple priority testing intervals spanning the Precambrian basement through Devonian formations. MAX Power aims to evaluate the scale, continuity, and commercial potential of stacked natural hydrogen and helium reservoirs across its 750-square-kilometer Grasslands Project.
These results are significant because they provide third-party validation of the company's exploration model and de-risk the next phase of drilling. The independent confirmation of hydrogen and helium targets at Bracken suggests that the geological conditions found at Lawson may extend over a much larger area, increasing the likelihood of a commercially viable natural hydrogen system in Saskatchewan. Natural hydrogen, also known as white hydrogen, is gaining attention as a potentially low-carbon energy source, and Canada's first subsurface discovery at Lawson has positioned MAX Power as a key player in this emerging sector.
The company holds approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. MAX Power is also advancing its Willcox Playa Lithium Project in Arizona, where it made a diamond drilling discovery in 2024. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
