Max Power Mining Company (Private search engine: Max; OTC: Maxf; FSE: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce this Savannah Drilling Rig No. 416 It will be mobilized early next week to the Lawson Natural Hydrogen Complex in south-central Saskatchewan to begin a multi-well commercial validation drilling program aimed at identifying the world’s first large-scale commercial discovery of natural hydrogen.
Savanna Rig #416 is a highly efficient “super-single” rig that was used last spring at the Bracken target (325 km from Lawson Discovery) where MAX Power encountered multiple potential regions of natural hydrogen and helium for near-term follow-up. The Savanna Rig #416 comes with an exceptionally experienced crew and is equipped with the latest gas detection equipment for natural hydrogen and helium, provided by the MAX Power technical team.
Mr. Ran Narayanasamy, CEO of Max Power, commented: “This is a historic moment for Saskatchewan and Canada as we return to Lawson to begin our multi-well commercial verification program. Our geological team expects to drill this initial well to reach the targeted primary discovery area during the week of July 27.”
Mr. Narayanasamy added: “Over the past year at Lawson, we have progressed from discovery to independent laboratory confirmation to high-resolution 3D seismic surveying and modeling. At the same time, we have reviewed multiple potential commercialization pathways for natural hydrogen in Saskatchewan with the Molecular Months plan. We are moving at breakneck speed and are now entering the most critical phase. Large-scale commercialization of natural hydrogen will be a key development at a time when energy security and affordability are major issues across North America and the world.”
Mr. Steve Halabura, Senior Geologist at Max Power, added: “The high-resolution 3D seismic survey completed in the spring has given us great confidence entering the commercial verification exercise program at Lawson. We have aggressive objectives and an impressive potential scope associated with this natural hydrogen system, given the 14.2 square kilometer structural enclosure within the broader 28 square kilometer complex. The entire team is excited and motivated to launch this program and write another chapter in the history of the Saskatchewan resources sector.”
Commercial validation drilling targets at the top and sides of major structural closures
The initial well in this follow-on program at Lawson is being drilled at the top of the Lawson structure, approximately 2 kilometers from the original discovery, based on a high-resolution 3D seismic survey completed during the spring that identified a 14.2 square kilometer structural closure, above the gas-water contact, within the broader Lawson Complex covering an area of 28 square kilometers.

Why is this important to investors?
Commercial validation represents the most important stage in the development of Lawson’s discovery.
Following the first confirmed discovery of natural subsurface hydrogen in Canada, a high-resolution 3D seismic survey defining a 14.2 square kilometer structural closure, and independent modeling by GLG Ltd., Max Power is now testing key technical parameters required prior to potential commercial development, including flow, pressure behavior, continuity, concentrations, deliverability and commercial scalability.
Each milestone is designed to systematically reduce technical risk while increasing business confidence.
If successful, Lawson could become the world’s first large-scale commercial natural hydrogen system, marking a major milestone for both Max Power and the wider global energy industry.

About Max Power
MAX Power is an innovative minerals and energy exploration company focused on the transition to decarbonization. The company’s Lawson discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents the first natural subsurface hydrogen system in Canada confirmed by deep drilling with data validated by three independent laboratories. MAX Power has built dominant onshore sites across Saskatchewan with approx 1.3 million acres (521,000 ha) of permits Covering potential prime exploration ground for large-scale deposits of natural hydrogen, it is close to commencing a multi-well follow-on drilling program to validate the commercial viability of the broader Lawson complex that is interpreted to cover an area of 28 square kilometers along the 475-kilometre Genesis trend. MAX Power also has a significant equity position in Homeland Critical Minerals, which now owns the Willcox Project in Arizona, a lithium discovery confirmed by MAX Power in early 2024. MAX Power is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
