MAX Power Mining has reported a transformational 2025 that established the company as a global leader in natural hydrogen exploration, according to a year-end shareholder update from President and CEO Ran Narayanasamy. The company expanded its board, management, technical and advisory teams while advancing Canada's first deep well specifically targeting natural hydrogen at its Lawson project in Saskatchewan. The company secured strategic international partnerships and attracted significant new capital during the year, with its share price reaching new all-time highs. External validation came from strategic investments including participation by Eric Sprott and a partnership with Vietnam-based Bitexco.
The company is entering 2026 with strong momentum, a strengthened balance sheet and a disciplined plan focused on advancing additional drilling along the Genesis Trend and progressing toward potential commercialization. MAX Power has built a dominant district-scale land position in Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large volume accumulations of natural hydrogen. Canada's first-ever deep well specifically targeting natural hydrogen has been drilled by MAX Power at its Lawson target on the Genesis Trend, with analytic and completion test phases running concurrently after natural hydrogen and helium were confirmed in multiple horizons.
The company's diversified strategy continues through its U.S. subsidiary, Homeland Critical Minerals, which holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals. These properties are highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona, 100%-owned by MAX Power's U.S. subsidiary.

Management expects 2026 to be the company's most dynamic year to date as it builds on the momentum established during 2025. The company's focus on natural hydrogen exploration comes as North America continues its shift toward decarbonization, with natural hydrogen representing a potentially significant clean energy source.
