04:26 PM EDT, 10/03/2024 (MT Newswires) -- MAX Power Mining ( MAXXF ) Thursday provided an update on operations as the company begins field exploration in Saskatchewan, targeting what would be Canada's first-ever commercial concentration of natural hydrogen or accumulations of natural hydrogen gas.

Extensive soil gas sampling has commenced at key blocks along the company's 3,356 square-kilometer package of permit applications in southeast Saskatchewan where historical wells have assayed up to 96.4% hydrogen.

In addition, MAX Power in recent months has strategically staked multiple prime claim blocks for natural hydrogen in both Ontario and Quebec with details to be announced soon.

"We are off to a great start in Saskatchewan and we look forward to the possibility of monetizing our Ontario and Quebec assets acquired well before the recent entry of new companies into this rapidly emerging Natural Hydrogen sector, which we're pleased to see," said chief executive Rav Mlait.
