MAX Power Hits Record Hydrogen Readings at Lawson 4 in Saskatchewan
Deep crustal conduits, record-breaking gas readings, and a 30-km step-out set the stage for Canada's emerging primary hydrogen frontier.

Just when Saskatchewan’s traditional energy playbook thought it had seen everything, MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX / OTC: MAXXF) keeps expanding the subsurface envelope.
Fresh off completing its Lawson 4 commercial validation well in south-central Saskatchewan, the explorer logged its highest natural hydrogen concentrations to date while unlocking structural data that could redefine how North America views primary clean energy extraction.
Drilled to a total measured depth of 2,400 meters, Lawson 4 intersected a highly porous 20.5-meter interval within the basal Cambrian Sandstone between 2,290 and 2,310.5 meters depth, achieving 96.6% core recovery alongside record-breaking hydrogen detection levels. Positioned immediately beneath this sandstone unit sits a sub-vertical deep crustal conduit that transitions directly into an additional 30.9 meters of prospective mafic-ultramafic basement source rocks. This combined 51.4-meter cored section yielded 98% overall recovery, while shallower drilling in the Interlake Formation also confirmed high-value helium-dominant zones.
Having hit targeted formations across all four initial wells within a tight two-kilometer cluster, management is wasting no time expanding the search radius. Rig preparations are underway to step out a massive 30 kilometers to the northeast to drill Lawson 5. This step-out targets the natural hydrogen system's up-dip extension where it flanks the regional "Salt Wall" of the Prairie Evaporite formation. Once Lawson 5 reaches depth, technical teams will transition directly into comprehensive completions testing and well perforations across the complex to measure flow rates, gas composition, and sustained deliverability.
Parallel to drill site operations, MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX / OTC: MAXXF) is advancing the commercial rollout of its proprietary AI-driven exploration platform, MAXX LEMI (Large Earth Model Integration). Designed to process legacy seismic data alongside live drilling analytics, the company is evaluating monetization pathways including software licensing, subscription access, and joint-venture carried interests across third-party projects. To support corporate outreach during this operational push, the enterprise also retained Florida-based marketing firm RazorPitch, Inc. under a two-month consulting agreement running through mid-November 2026.
As independent technical advisors at Chapman Hydrogen and Petroleum Engineering have highlighted, unlocking natural hydrogen directly from the earth avoids the energy-intensive processing required by artificial green hydrogen. With backing from strategic resource investor Eric Sprott and a massive 1,224-square-kilometer permit area anchoring the 475-kilometer Genesis Trend, MAX Power continues converting a regional geological hypothesis into a tangible commercial frontier.
