MAX Power Hits Highest Natural Hydrogen Readings Yet, Steps Out 30 km at Lawson
Event summary
- Lawson 4 well intersected a 20.5-meter interval with the highest natural hydrogen readings to date at 2,290–2,310.5 meters depth.
- Drilling revealed a major deep crustal fault conduit, with its extent still undetermined.
- MAX Power is stepping out 30 km northeast to drill Lawson 5, testing the system's extension toward the 'Salt Wall'.
- The company signed a 2-month investor marketing agreement with RazorPitch for $100,000.
The big picture
MAX Power's discovery at Lawson represents a critical step in validating natural hydrogen as a primary energy source. The company's ability to identify interconnected subsurface systems could position it as a first mover in this emerging sector. With Saskatchewan's established role in uranium and potash, the province may now emerge as a hub for this next-generation energy resource.
