Mr. Steve Halabura, MAX Power Chief Geoscientist, commented:

Lawson Success Immediately Accelerates MAX Power Program

Concurrent with the analytic and follow-up phases at Lawson, the start of a fully-funded second well at the Bracken target in the southwest part of the province, near the Montana border, is being accelerated with a 2D seismic program expected to be completed in less than three weeks followed soon thereafter by geophysical interpretation, drill target selection, and well licensing. Bracken is part of MAX Power's Grasslands Project, covering 120,000 permitted acres, and is situated within a prospective mobile zone, the Swift Current Anorogenic Province. This area is highlighted by a rare rock assemblage, proximity to known Natural Hydrogen and helium occurrences, and a regional trap setting different than Lawson (refer to Oct. 27, 2025 news release).

From Radville to Lucky Lake and elsewhere on the Genesis Trend, and into the Choiceland area in the central part of the province, the MAX Power team is optimizing its exploration process and collaborating with the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) and other experts to refine the most robust pipeline of Natural Hydrogen discovery targets in Canada across a massive land package of 1.3 million acres with another 5.7 million acres under application.

With the backing of world renowned mining speculator and financier Eric Sprott and a leading Southeast Asia conglomerate, and the recent addition of prominent resource sector venture capitalist Andy Bowering as a Special Advisor, MAX Power has the right blend of capital markets expertise and scientific rigor to become a global champion in the rapidly emerging Natural Hydrogen sector as it builds on the momentum of Lawson.

Mr. Mansoor Jan, MAX Power CEO, commented:

Lawson Highlights

The Lawson 15-19 Test of Concept well penetrated 72 meters into the basement complex, to a total depth of 2,278 meters, and was successfully cased for further testing. Prior to Lawson, only 110 out of 167,000 drill holes in Saskatchewan history had ever recovered core from the Precambrian basement complex.

Continuous core was cut from the top of the“Basal Deadwood Sand” and into the basement complex, which will give the MAX Power team detailed information on the source rock makeup at Lawson. There were 70.4 meters of core cut with approximately 98.5% of total core retrieved, a major success for the operations team.

The Natural Hydrogen molecule was encountered in multiple horizons, the most significant being from zones in the Basal Deadwood and basement complex.

Helium was also encountered in multiple horizons, at times occurring independently from the Natural Hydrogen.

Canada's first-ever Natural Hydrogen well featured state-of-the-art gas detection instrumentation and has produced an extensive array of datasets for analysis over the coming weeks, rapidly adding to the robustness and value of MAX Power's Large Earth Model Integration (MAXX LEMI).

Specialized gas chromatography and mass spectrometer analyses were acquired from 397 meters to total depth at 2,278 meters, providing a continuous high-resolution record of gas composition throughout the wellbore. These data were complemented by a full suite of borehole geophysical logs run from surface casing to total depth, enabling detailed characterization of formation properties.

Next Immediate Steps For Lawson Well

Field examination of data, which was ongoing throughout drilling, led to the operations team's decision that in this early stage of Natural Hydrogen exploration there were sufficient reasons to case the well. Casing provides structural integrity to the wellbore, allows for zone isolation, prevents contamination of recovered fluids and gases, and facilitates further testing during the“Completion Test” phase which follows the“Analytic” Phase.

The 4-5 week Analytic Phase has commenced with preliminary core examination at AGAT Laboratories in Calgary, with the core being shipped to PTRC in Regina. PTRC's specialized rock analysis facility will provide for advanced compositional, reservoir, and rock mechanical testing.

Included in the Analytic Phase will be contributions by members of the University of Regina Departments of Geology and College of Engineering, Precambrian research geologists from the Province of Saskatchewan Geological Subsurface Lab, and Dr. Yaoguo Li and colleagues at the Colorado School of Mines. The goal of this phase of work is to provide the first metrics concerning the hydrogen and helium gases encountered at the Lawson well, including information as to source rock, method of generation, migration dynamics, reservoir quantification, and flow potential.

The deliverable from the Analytic Phase will be recommendations as to further work, including the completion and testing program for the presently cased Lawson 15-19 well and possibly expanded seismic acquisition.

Dr. Yaoguo Li, considered one of the world's leading experts on Natural Hydrogen, commented:

The Genesis Trend: Scale & Optionality

Unlocking Lawson will derisk at least 20 potential lookalikes along the Genesis Trend (refer to September 30, 2025 news release).

The Genesis trend has unusual scale potential for any resource project – it's now a 475-km-long corridor (refer to November 3, 2025 news release) defined by a flanking salt barrier and the intersection of exotic terrane mobile belts and basement structures interpreted to be favourable for hydrogen generation and migration. To date, about 40-plus early prospects have been identified along Genesis with Lawson, Lucky Lake and newly-discovered Radville to the southeast being the most data rich.

Why This Matters to Investors

MAX Power has completed the first well in Canadian history designed specifically to evaluate Natural Hydrogen, marking a major step forward for the province and the country. The well encountered the Natural Hydrogen molecule across multiple horizons and produced one of the most extensive datasets yet collected in this emerging field. This success reduces risk across MAX Power's 1.3 million acre permitted land package and has accelerated the Company's multi-well program, with a fully funded second well now in the preparation stage at Bracken, roughly 325 km southwest of Lawson near the Montana border. The distance between these two locations highlights the scale of the Natural Hydrogen opportunity in Saskatchewan.

With global experts contributing to the analytic phase, and a globally recognized testing facility at PTRC, Saskatchewan is rapidly becoming a center for Natural Hydrogen research and development. For investors, MAX Power stands at an inflection point where Natural Hydrogen is moving from concept to confirmed technical progress, offering strategic early positioning in a potential new commercial energy class.

MAX Power Sparks Excitement at H-NAT 2025

MAX Power was selected to present at H-NAT 2025 in Paris November 13-14, 2025, the world's largest conference dedicated to Natural Hydrogen. The presentation,“Trailblazing a New Natural Hydrogen Arena in Saskatchewan, Canada”, showcased a science-driven approach and MAX Power's leadership role in establishing Saskatchewan as one of the most compelling Natural Hydrogen jurisdictions in the world.

Throughout the conference, it became clear that both MAX Power and Saskatchewan are now widely viewed as global frontrunners in the Natural Hydrogen sector. Industry and policy leaders repeatedly referenced phrases such as“best-in-class geology”,“policy excellence”,“data rich”,“innovation-driven”, and“open for development”. MAX Power's keynote address attracted a standing-room-only audience and delivered a comprehensive breakdown of why Saskatchewan – and MAX Power - represent such a promising jurisdiction globally for Natural Hydrogen exploration and commercial development.

MAX Power's exhibition booth was among the most active onsite, drawing sustained engagement from international operators, research institutions, government delegations, and strategic investors.

Management believes that MAX Power's participation at H-NAT 2025 marked a pivotal milestone in both the Company's trajectory and the evolution of the broader Natural Hydrogen sector. The momentum generated at H-NAT 2025 has strengthened the Company's global profile and accelerated engagement with potential strategic partners and investors, advancing MAX Power's goal of becoming a commercial leader in the Natural Hydrogen industry.
