## Lawson 5 Confirmation and Lawson 6 Drilling

MAX Power Mining is a Canadian natural hydrogen exploration company developing a confirmed subsurface natural hydrogen system at the Lawson Complex in Saskatchewan, according to [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The Lawson 5 result marks a 30-km step-out from the Lawson Complex, an offset the company presents as evidence of regional extent rather than a single localized anomaly.

Drilling at Lawson 6 is underway, which the company frames as near-term well data that could validate continuity. Completions have started at Bracken, moving the program from discovery toward flow testing. Comprehensive testing at Lawson is to follow, covering flow, concentration and volume.

The company said the active systems span 365 km. MAX Power holds 1.3 million acres of permits and has 5.7 million acres under application across southern Saskatchewan, the largest permitted land package in Canada for natural hydrogen exploration and development, according to akta.pro company records. The Genesis Trend corridor runs 475 km, defined by a flanking salt barrier of Prairie Evaporite, with more than 80 early prospects identified. The Lawson Complex covers 28 sq. km with 14.2 sq. km of structural closure, delineated by a 3D seismic survey near Central Butte, Saskatchewan.

## Earlier Steps Toward the Lawson Program

On September 29, 2026, [Aktien](https://akta.pro/news-signals) reported that MAX Power completed casing at the Lawson 5 well at about 1,100 meters, testing the Prairie Evaporite salt barrier for natural hydrogen, with the 30-km step-out well aiming to extend the Genesis trend's 475-km corridor.

On September 15, 2026, FinanzNachrichten.de reported that MAX Power completed its third drilling at Lawson, recording the highest natural hydrogen readings to date, with drilling extending 30.9 meters beyond the previous interval.

On October 13, 2026, FinancialContent Business Page reported that MAX Power appointed Rob Norris as CEO, effective immediately, and named Tom Kishchuk CTO and Brendan Bishop chief geochemist.

## What Follows at Lawson and Bracken

Comprehensive Lawson testing is to follow the Bracken completions, covering flow, concentration and volume. The company states the tests will determine commercial potential across the wells.
