MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) announced the acquisition of provincial permits covering an additional 660,263 acres (2,672 square kilometers) across south-central Saskatchewan, boosting its total permitted holdings by more than 50% to approximately 2 million acres across 12 projects. The expansion includes the newly named 628-square-kilometer Aurora Project adjoining Lawson, creating a contiguous 90-kilometer corridor with potential for multiple natural hydrogen discoveries and commercialization pathways near highway, rail, heavy industry and emerging artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The company also added the Ogema and Kyle projects, expanded the Grasslands Project through the Fox Valley target area, and secured additional permits at Lawson, Radville and Tribune. Commercial-validation drilling continues at Lawson Complex #1, Canada’s first confirmed subsurface natural hydrogen system, while the company and independent consultant GLJ Ltd. complete reviews of data from the newly permitted areas.
MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. The Lawson Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents Canada’s first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling with data validated by three independent labs. The company 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. MAX Power 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, 100%-owned by MAX Power’s U.S. subsidiary.
This expansion is significant because natural hydrogen is emerging as a potentially low-carbon energy source that could play a role in the global energy transition. By securing a large land position in Saskatchewan, MAX Power is positioning itself to explore and potentially develop natural hydrogen resources at a scale that could attract industrial partners and infrastructure investments. The proximity to existing transportation networks and heavy industry suggests that any discoveries could be commercialized more quickly than in remote areas.
The addition of the Aurora Project adjoining Lawson is particularly noteworthy, as it creates a continuous corridor that may host multiple hydrogen accumulation zones. The company’s ongoing drilling at Lawson Complex #1 provides real-time validation of the geological model, which can be applied to the newly acquired permits. The involvement of GLJ Ltd., a recognized independent consultant, adds credibility to the data review process.
For investors, the expansion signals MAX Power’s commitment to becoming a leader in natural hydrogen exploration in Canada. The company’s ability to secure additional permits demonstrates its strong relationships with provincial regulators and landowners. The focus on near-infrastructure locations reduces development risk and enhances the potential for early cash flow if commercial quantities of hydrogen are discovered.
