MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) has commenced the commercial validation phase at its 28-square-kilometer Lawson Complex in Saskatchewan, host to Canada’s first subsurface natural hydrogen discovery. The company announced it has spudded the Lawson 2-24 well, targeting a large structural closure identified through a recent 3D seismic survey. Drilling is expected to reach the primary target zone in approximately two weeks. This program is designed to evaluate key commercial metrics including flow, pressure behavior, continuity, concentrations, deliverability and scalability.
The company also reported encouraging helium potential at Lawson. Sealed core tube gas samples from the discovery well returned helium values of up to 8.7%, with additional analysis expected later this month. Separately, MAX Power engaged Hampton Securities Ltd. for a 90-day, non-exclusive capital markets advisory engagement under a one-time cash fee of $400,000.
