MAX Power Brings Together Leading Natural Hydrogen Experts For Technical Collaboration And Drill Site Visit

Petroleum Technology Research Center (PTRC), University of Regina, Saskatchewan Geological Survey, Colorado School of Mines, and the MAX Power Mining Corp. team convene in Regina to advance Natural Hydrogen research and visit Canada’s first active drill site at Lawson.

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FRANKFURT: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is advancing its technical collaboration with the Petroleum Technology Research Center (PTRC), and informally with the University of Regina (U of R), by participating in a working session to be held today (Mon, Nov. 10, 2025) at the U of R Innovation Center, followed by a field trip to the Lawson drill site tomorrow (Tues., Nov. 11), where MAX Power has commenced Canada’s first-ever Natural Hydrogen drill program near Central Butte, SK, on the 475-km-long Genesis Trend.

Scheduled to participate in the working session, led by MAX Power Chief Geoscientist Steve Halabura, are researchers from PTRC, U of R, as well as researchers from the Saskatchewan Geological Survey and the Colorado School of Mines, including Dr. Yaoguo Li. The purpose of the session is two-fold: 1) Confirm the current state of knowledge concerning the naturally occurring hydrogen system in Saskatchewan; and (2) Investigate possible fields of research to jointly advance knowledge concerning not only Natural Hydrogen in Saskatchewan but also Natural Hydrogen systems worldwide. Included in the working session will be a visit to the Lawson drill site.

Benefits of the Multi-Group Collaboration

• Leveraging the U of R and PTRC’s state-of-the-art analytical laboratory facilities: PTRC will carry out highly advanced analytical and interpretive techniques for Natural Hydrogen reservoirs.

• Leveraging the U of R and PTRC’s expertise: The respective groups provide unparalleled expertise in the fields of subsurface geology, reservoir characterization, gas analytics, drilling, and completions design and engineering.

• Addressing sectoral unknowns: The collaboration allows Saskatchewan researchers to advance knowledge of Natural Hydrogen systems in general and form “Team Saskatchewan” as global leaders in this rapidly emerging sector.

• New technologies: The collaboration will enable identification and co-development opportunities for low-emission energy technologies related to the Natural Hydrogen sector.

Mr. Mansoor Jan, MAX Power CEO, commented: “To have these Natural Hydrogen experts gathered in one room, and then at the drill site, including Dr. Li and other researchers from the Colorado School of Mines, is another example of MAX Power’s sector leadership. This collaborative effort will further accelerate the timeline to bring Natural Hydrogen to the commercialization stage.”
