About MAX Power Mining

MAX Power was first-mover in Natural Hydrogen in Canada over a year ago and has expanded on that leadership with an important breakthrough in the targeting of North America’s first commercial discovery of this “wonder element” that could transform the broader energy sector.

MAX Power has assembled the largest permitted land package in Canada for the exploration and development of Natural Hydrogen – 1.3 million acres (over half a million hectares) in Saskatchewan (Grasslands, Genesis Trend, Rider 1, 2 and 3, and Choiceland) with structural drill targets identified for upcoming first-ever drilling at Grasslands and Genesis.

Exotic “mobile belt” rocks in southern Saskatchewan’s basement complex are believed to be associated with Western Canada’s first known occurrence of Natural Hydrogen deep in the subsurface.

Armed with advanced geological and prospect ranking tools, and an industry-leading team of geoscientists, engineers and operators, MAX Power is ready to make history.

Natural Hydrogen is ideally positioned to become the world’s first new primary energy source in decades – low-cost, low emissions energy at a time when the demand for affordable energy is higher and more urgent than ever.

As part of its broader strategy to be a leader in North America’s clean energy shift, MAX Power also holds a large portfolio of Lithium assets in the United States and Canada (Quebec) including the Willcox Playa Project in southeast Arizona where first-ever diamond drilling has resulted in the discovery of near-surface lithium-rich clays over a broad area. In addition, MAX Power owns 100% of the Nicobat Project (base metals, cobalt and PGE’s) in Northern Ontario.

Calgary-based Chapman is a privately-owned leading international energy consultant specializing in Natural Hydrogen and oil and gas. Chapman was instrumental in advancing the world’s first Natural Hydrogen well discovery in Bourakebougou, Mali, now owned and operated by Hydroma. This very shallow discovery (110 metres) has provided low-cost, emissions-free energy for an entire village and was the subject of the world’s first NI 51-101 Hydrogen report written by Chapman’s Denis Brière.

The strategic MAX Power-Chapman alliance will identify, prioritize, acquire and explore the best Natural Hydrogen targets across Canada with the goal of confirming the country’s first discovery of a commercialized hydrogen source.

MAX Power International Strategic Alliance

Privately-owned Larin Engineering, based in the Czech Republic, is at the forefront of Natural Hydrogen as a transformative catalyst in the clean energy transition.

The Larin team, with offices in Europe and Dubai, has been conducting cutting-edge research into exploration and commercialization of Natural Hydrogen for 20 years and is now aggressively applying that expertise to the United States. Larin’s involvement in the recent successful first-ever drill program for Natural Hydrogen in the U.S. helped spark a post-pandemic rush into this rapidly growing sector in America.

Larin’s targeting techniques will enable the MAX Power/Larin alliance to efficiently vector in on land packages considered highly prospective for Natural Hydrogen accumulations across multiple U.S. states, with work starting immediately.

The cornerstone of Larin is the foundational work inspired by renowned geologist Vladimir N. Larin, who published Hydridic Earth: The New Geology of Our Primordially Hydrogen-Rich Planet (1993), theorizing that the earth’s core contains much more hydrogen than originally believed and is formed by hydrides – compounds of hydrogen bonded to metals. These views have been substantiated through fundamental lab experiments by independent research groups around the world.
