(CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FSE: 89N) ("MAX Power" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced the commercial validation phase at the 28 sq. km Lawson Complex, host to Canada's first subsurface Natural Hydrogen system discovered late last year. The first well, "Lawson 2-24 ", which was spudded last night (9:15 pm July 13), is targeting the apex of a large structural closure identified through a 3D seismic survey completed this past spring following the drilling of Lawson Discovery well 15-19, located approximately 2.4 km to the northeast. Savanna Drill Rig #416 is expected to reach the main targeted discovery area for Lawson 2-24 in approximately two weeks. Mr. Ran Narayanasamy, MAX Power CEO, commented: "The original discovery is on the edge of what is now interpreted to be a very large system based on the 3D seismic survey and analysis of all data compiled from Lawson over the past eight months. Within the structural closure, featuring an aerial extent of approximately 14 sq. km, we have very significant scale potential. More broadly speaking, Lawson is the template for similar potential Natural Hydrogen discoveries along the entire length of the 475-km Genesis Trend bordering the Prairie Evaporite. Saskatchewan has the right geological mix and the demand drivers to become the global birthplace for commercialization of Natural Hydrogen. The time is now." Mr. Narayanasamy added: "We welcome provincial and local government dignitaries, as well as Indigenous business leaders, who are at the Lawson site today to mark the start of this commercial validation program. We see developments on the Natural Hydrogen front as potentially transformational regarding regional economic development, private sector investment, job creation and industrial development along this leading Western Canadian industrial corridor between Moose Jaw and Regina." Lawson Complex Helium Potential The MAX Power geological team, and independent consultant GLJ Ltd., are encouraged with respect to helium potential at the Lawson Complex after unusually high helium values up to 8.7% were detected in sealed core tube gas samples from a zone immediately above the Natural Hydrogen discovery in the 15-19 well ( 9 samples averaged 4.4% helium ). Lawson helium analysis continues with an update to the January 16, 2026, news expected later this month.
