MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the City of Moose Jaw to jointly explore strategic opportunities related to natural hydrogen commercialization within the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor. The partnership is intended to align regional infrastructure, industrial development, policy and economic initiatives as MAX Power works to position Saskatchewan as a potential hub for domestically sourced clean energy innovation and long-term economic growth.
The MOU supports advancement of the company’s Lawson Natural Hydrogen project toward commercial validation. 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. 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.
This collaboration is significant because it aligns municipal infrastructure and economic development goals with MAX Power's exploration efforts, potentially accelerating the path to commercial production. Natural hydrogen, or geologic hydrogen, is generated underground through natural processes and could provide a low-carbon energy source without the energy-intensive electrolysis required for green hydrogen. The Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor offers existing industrial infrastructure, transportation networks, and a skilled workforce that could support hydrogen production, storage, and distribution.
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. The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
