focused on building shareholder value through highly effective execution of the business on and off the ground – a winning team supported by legendary mining financier Eric Sprott
Genesis – “Where It All Begins”
It’s no coincidence that Canada’s first-ever well dedicated to Natural Hydrogen resulted in a discovery.
MAX Power’s Lawson well is located in the heart of the company’s 475-km Genesis Trend, a massive geological corridor whose entire eastern border is flanked by the Prairie Evaporite.
The Evaporite, which hosts the world’s largest reserves of potash, acts as a “Salt Barrier” or “Wall” (salt is impermeable). As Natural Hydrogen and associated gases like Helium migrate up-dip from the southwest, they are “blocked” by the Salt Wall and accumulate in reservoirs formed by sediments.
Add the right source rocks and migration pathways, plus the “traps” and “seals” created by the Evaporite, and you have the perfect recipe for Natural Hydrogen-rich deposits — with strong potential for a value-added Helium component as Saskatchewan is Canada’s only Helium producer.
Drilling Results & Updates
Well by well, the Natural Hydrogen system keeps getting bigger.
Canada’s first confirmed subsurface Natural Hydrogen system, on the Genesis Trend in south-central Saskatchewan. Results announced January 16, 2026.
Saskatchewan’s “Natural Hydrogen Industrial Corridor”
MAX Power’s discoveries sit within the Regina–Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor — south-central Saskatchewan’s largest industrial region and one of Canada’s most strategically positioned for energy commercialization. The Lawson Natural Hydrogen Complex lies roughly 80 km northwest of Moose Jaw, near Central Butte, with the Genesis Trend running directly through the corridor.
What makes the location exceptional is the infrastructure already in place — adjacency of a large-scale natural hydrogen system to ready-built industrial capacity and future demand centres is what positions the corridor to link discovery directly to commercialization, workforce growth and long-term regional economic expansion:
Natural Hydrogen – The “Holy Grail” of Hydrogen
For the first time in the history of our planet, hydrogen is being discovered in accumulations in the earth’s subsurface – the “end product” of an increasingly critical element right under our feet!
Discoveries of hydrogen-rich gas reservoirs in North America could be the equivalent of the early 20th century oil boom!
Although most of this hydrogen is likely to be impractical to recover, a small fraction (e.g., 100,000 Mt or 100 billion tons) would supply the projected hydrogen needed to reach net-zero carbon emissions for ~200 years. This amount of hydrogen contains more energy (~1.4 × 10 quadrillion MJ) than all proven natural gas reserves on Earth.

Learn more about MAX Power's potential game-changing opportunity in Saskatchewan through this video presentation by geoscientist Steve Halabura, MAX Power's lead technical advisor. Steve was instrumental in the early formative stages of the only two Saskatchewan greenfield potash mines to come into existence in the 21st century, these being BHP's Jansen Project and K+S's Bethune mine. Jansen is the largest private investment ($14-billion) in Saskatchewan history. Steve has decades of successful experience in the province's resource sector and has a deep understanding of the geological controls on the accumulation of hydrogen, helium and other industrial gases.
