MAX Power to enter into exploration phase at Rider natural hydrogen project in Canada

MAX Power Mining Corp. is entering the exploration phase at Canada’s largest Natural Hydrogen land package in Saskatchewan with the engagement of Petro-Find Geochem Ltd. (“Petro-Find”) to carry out an extensive soil gas sampling program across key initial targets at the Rider Project featuring dozens of historical hydrogen showings from old wells.

Saskatoon-based Petro-Find is a soil gas sampling leader in Western Canada and has developed a proprietary system that captures highly accurate readings for hydrogen from specialized gas probes driven into soils.

The proprietary sampling methods will give crews on the ground real-time data and maximum flexibility to cover large areas with increased sampling density where warranted.

Samples will be processed at Petro-Find’s lab in Saskatoon for rapid analysis. The program is expected to commence upon harvesting of crops in southeast Saskatchewan.

Mr. Denis Brière who has written the world’s only NI-51-101 report for a naturally occurring accumulation of hydrogen gas (original discovery in Mali), commented: “The Rider Project is in the top category of Natural Hydrogen projects in the world in my view. With a policy framework for Natural Hydrogen exploration and development at Rider, MAX Power has a unique opportunity to make Western Canada the launch pad for an important new low-cost, low-emissions energy source in North America.”

Mr. Neil McMillan added, “Saskatchewan is famous for its rich resources including oil and gas, uranium and potash – we even have one of Canada’s premier gold mines. We are in an enviable position with first mover MAX Power to do something very big concerning Natural Hydrogen that could resonate worldwide.”
