Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com
Newswire) reports on news for hydrogen exploration stock Max Power (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N).
MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N)
(“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce that in parallel with the ongoing analytical testing,
resource modelling, and resource estimation program at its Lawson
Natural Hydrogen Discovery in the heart of the 475-km-long Genesis
Trend, the Company has identified a robust target for near-term
drilling of a second “play concept” for Natural Hydrogen
in Saskatchewan. Licensing is underway to commence the
“Bracken” well along the Saskatchewan-Montana border in
February.
With a Natural Hydrogen discovery now confirmed at Lawson, MAX Power
is advancing toward potential commercialization while simultaneously
testing additional play concepts across Saskatchewan. The Bracken
well represents an important step in demonstrating basin-scale
continuity, supporting the geological team’s interpretation
that Natural Hydrogen systems in Saskatchewan are repeatable and
scalable across multiple trends.
Bracken Highlights
The Bracken well location was generated through an integrated
geophysical and geological workflow leveraging 34.3-line kilometers
of newly acquired proprietary 2D seismic data combined with legacy
2D seismic.
This dataset was rigorously interpreted to delineate basement
architecture, structural and stratigraphic pathways, and prospective
migration corridors considered critical to Natural Hydrogen and
associated clean gas accumulation.
Like Genesis to the northeast, the Grasslands Project is considered
prospective for multiple potential Natural Hydrogen discoveries that
may also include helium.
Bracken and the broader Grasslands Project is benefiting from, and
informing, the Company’s in-house AI-assisted Large Earth
Model Integration (LEMI) platform known as MAXX LEMI, MAX
Power’s proprietary tool to optimize Natural Hydrogen
exploration and drill target selection.
Mr. Steve Halabura, MAX Power’s Chief Geoscientist, commented:
“We’re very excited regarding Bracken given the amount
of data we have from the area and all that we’ve learned from
Lawson. Bracken is where the MAX Power team first discovered Natural
Hydrogen in the sub-surface in Saskatchewan, through historical
drilling, and the broader area is a known helium fairway. At
Bracken, we’ll be testing a stratigraphic play concept vs. the
structural play concept successfully developed at Lawson and across
the Genesis Trend. There are some similarities in the Natural
Hydrogen geological model between Bracken and Lawson, but each has
its own unique trap and seal mechanisms.”
Mr. Ran Narayanasamy, MAX Power CEO, added: “We continue to
move at a rapid pace with respect to Natural Hydrogen exploration
and development in Saskatchewan where we have the advantage of a
mature and favorable policy framework. This also highlights the
stark timeline difference between exploration and potential
commercialization of Natural Hydrogen vs. traditional mineral and
metal projects. This is months to molecules, not years. Our goal is
to quickly unlock scalable, low-carbon energy resources in
Saskatchewan, and leverage the MAXX LEMI model for Natural Hydrogen
on a global basis.”
Bracken and the Grasslands Project
The Bracken prospect forms part of a broader, regionally extensive
exploration fairway across MAX Power’s 75-km-wide permitted
Grasslands Project. This emerging play has meaningful district-scale
potential, with Bracken serving as a key calibration point for
future drilling locations. Success at Bracken would materially
de-risk additional prospects already defined within the seismic and
MAXX LEMI framework, positioning MAX Power to rapidly advance a
growing inventory of follow-up targets across its highly prospective
Saskatchewan portfolio.
Why This Matters to Investors
Advancing a second, independently derived Natural Hydrogen play
concept a few hundred kilometers from Lawson in the southwest corner
of the province reinforces that the Company’s opportunity
extends beyond a single discovery or trend and into a potentially
very large basin-scale system. Lawson has validated MAX
Power’s geological model for Natural Hydrogen, a model that
includes multiple play concepts – the second of which will be
tested at Bracken with strong confidence given recently interpreted
proprietary 2D seismic data combined with initial success at Lawson.
As commercialization efforts advance at Lawson, drilling at Bracken
provides an opportunity to further define scale, potential
economics, and long-term development possibilities for Natural
Hydrogen in Saskatchewan.

About MAX Power
MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company
focused on North America’s shift to decarbonization. The
Company is a first mover in the rapidly growing Natural Hydrogen
sector where it has built a dominant district-scale land position in
Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares)
of permits, plus an additional 5.7 million acres under application,
covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume
accumulations of Natural Hydrogen. Canada’s first-ever well
specifically targeting Natural Hydrogen has been drilled by MAX
Power at the Lawson target on the Genesis Trend, confirming a
working subsurface system. MAX Power also holds a portfolio of
properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical
minerals. These properties are highlighted by a 2024 diamond
