(CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FSE: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that Lawson 5 is proceeding as expected with intermediate casing completed yesterday at approximately 1,100 meters (measured depth). The first major horizon of interest within the next several hundred meters will be the Prairie Evaporite, interpreted to be a key trap and seal feature for the accumulation of Natural Hydrogen. At deeper levels, a faulted fracture system controls the basement complex dissolution process of the evaporite salt and will be of intense interest to the MAX Power technical team as it attempts to significantly expand the scale of the Lawson Discovery.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Please try againLawson 5 is a 30-km step-out northeast of Lawson 4 and is testing the potential west-to-east extension of Canada’s first subsurface Natural Hydrogen system all the way from the first four wells near Central Butte to the “Salt Wall” at the edge of the Prairie Evaporite. The “Salt Wall Corridor” continues north-south for 475 km through the MAX Power-dominated Genesis Trend to the Saskatchewan-North Dakota border, further highlighting the potential scale implications of success at Lawson 5.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Mr. Steve Halabura, MAX Power Chief Geoscientist, commented, “Upon initial review of drill core from key intervals, Lawson 4 is even more exciting to us, so we very much look forward to results from Lawson 5. We know that fluids and gases have migrated up-dip from the southwest toward the Salt Wall. We had no hesitation in stepping out 30 kilometers – we continue to vigorously test a geological model we have had great success with from the start. Detailed planning for our completions round continues and we look forward to sharing more details on that very soon.” Cyndi Edwards’ PRmediaNow Interview Excerpt with Chad Levesque“When geology is telling you something, it favors the bold” – first excerpt of interview between Cyndi Edwards of PRmediaNow and MAX Power President Chad Levesque. Click on the link below to view.Figure 1 – The Genesis TrendWhy This Matters to InvestorsLawson 5 represents a pivotal test of scale for MAX Power. The first four Lawson wells have progressively defined Canada’s first confirmed subsurface Natural Hydrogen system. Now, approximately 30 km northeast, Lawson 5 is beginning to test whether the geological architecture identified at Lawson extends toward the Salt Wall and into a much larger regional setting. The Salt Wall Corridor continues for approximately 475 km through the Genesis Trend toward North Dakota, while Bracken, approximately 325 km southwest on a different trend, contains multiple prospective Natural Hydrogen and helium zones. Together, these targets are expanding the exploration thesis well beyond the boundaries of a single discovery area.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The bigger opportunity is basin scale. Lawson 5 is testing potential geological scale while upcoming completions at Lawson and Bracken are designed to address the critical commercial questions of composition, flow and deliverability. At the same time, every well expands the proprietary geological, geophysical and reservoir dataset feeding MAXX LEMI. MAX Power is therefore advancing two increasingly connected assets: the Natural Hydrogen opportunity beneath Saskatchewan and the intelligence being built to understand and potentially identify these systems at greater scale.Figure 2: Drilling at Lawson 3 Well, Genesis Trend (Aug. 2026)Amended Marketing AgreementMAX Power has amended its investor marketing and consulting agreement (the “Agreement”) with RazorPitch Inc.

The Company’s 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 2.5 million acres (~1 million hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of Natural Hydrogen, and has commenced a multi-well follow-up drill program to validate the commerciality of the broader Lawson Complex interpreted to cover a 28 sq. km area along the 475-km Genesis Trend. MAX Power also holds a significant equity position in Homeland Critical Minerals, which now owns the Willcox Project in Arizona, a lithium discovery confirmed in early 2024 by MAX Power. MAX Power is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.On behalf of the Board of Directors,Ran Narayanasamy, CEOMAX Power Mining Corp.info@maxpowermining.comFor further information, please contact:Chad Levesque, PresidentPh: 1-306-981-4753chad@maxpowermining.comSarah Mawji, Venture Strategiessarah@venturestrategies.comCautionary Statement and Forward-Looking InformationThis news release contains certain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, “forward-looking information”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws.
