About MAX Power Mining

MAX Power is first mover leader among publicly traded companies targeting Natural Hydrogen discoveries in North America.

Armed with strategic alliances with Chapman Hydrogen and Petroleum Engineering Ltd., based out of Calgary, AB, and Larin Engineering HHC, based out of Prague, Czech Republic, MAX Power has the ability to quickly scale up this unique and extraordinary opportunity for the company and its valued shareholders.

Naturally occurring hydrogen gas (“Natural Hydrogen”) is now known to exist in accumulations in the earth’s subsurface (in varying geological domains) as demonstrated through recent discoveries in West Africa, Albania, France and elsewhere. Given its many advantages over manufactured hydrogen, including cost and purity, Natural Hydrogen has the potential to revolutionize the “Hydrogen Economy” and the broader energy sector in general.

MAX Power has assembled highly prospective large land packages in Saskatchewan where it’s preparing to become the first company in Canada to drill a well specifically targeting Natural Hydrogen.

An industry-leading team of Natural Hydrogen experts is building a pipeline of high quality drill targets in Saskatchewan, close to critical infrastructure and potential off-takers, putting MAX Power in the global spotlight with respect to this rapidly emerging sector that could revolutionize how we think about energy.

As part of its broader strategy to be a leader in North America’s decarbonization shift, MAX Power also holds a portfolio of Lithium assets in the United States and Canada 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. MAX Power is also involved in a co-operative research and development agreement with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a California-based U.S. Department of Energy laboratory managed by the University of California, to develop state-of-the-art direct lithium extraction technologies. In addition, MAX Power owns 100% of the Nicobat Project (base metals, cobalt and PGE’s) in Northern Ontario.

The fact that MAX Power is already assessing the distribution side of Natural Hydrogen in Saskatchewan, amid the manufacturing and industrial hubs and other key infrastructure we have in the province, shows how exceptional the opportunity is here for the company from all angles.“

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.

Special Natural Hydrogen Consultant

A team from the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), led in part by Adjunct Professor Stephan Séjourné (President of Montreal-based Enki GéoSolutions Inc.), recently released a series of six groundbreaking research reports on Natural Hydrogen in Quebec prepared for and funded by the Quebec government. Enki GéoSolutions Inc. has since been engaged by MAX Power as a special consultant for its Natural Hydrogen division.

Mr. Séjourné is a well-known and highly respected Quebec exploration geologist who initially worked as an independent consultant in the petroleum industry, including several years with Gastem focusing on carbonate reservoirs and shale gas plays in Quebec and New York State, before turning his attention to Natural Hydrogen.

Séjourné: “The Natural Hydrogen sector has incredibly exciting possibilities and may change how we think about energy.”
