The City of Moose Jaw has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MAX Power Mining Corp to jointly identify strategic opportunities related to Natural Hydrogen and Moose Jaw's role in supporting future business development.
The MOU focuses on key pillars, including:
- Economic Growth and Business Development
- Funding opportunities
- Research, Educational and Advocacy opportunities
"Our Strategic Plan emphasizes economic growth and strong partnerships, and this MOU reflects that approach," said Mayor James Murdock. "We commend MAX Power for advancing Natural Hydrogen exploration in our region and for engaging Moose Jaw in the conversation. This agreement allows us to explore the potential of Natural Hydrogen to support local industries, research and training partnerships, and longer-term economic opportunities. Our location within the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor and established industrial strengths position us well to take part in these emerging discussions."
"With the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor poised to become a strategic hub for industry and energy development, this partnership brings together government, community, and private sector leadership at an important moment for Saskatchewan and Canada," said Ran Narayanasamy, CEO of MAX Power Mining Corp. "Saskatchewan has long played a foundational role in feeding and powering the world, and we believe Natural Hydrogen represents the next chapter in that legacy. As MAX Power advances its Natural Hydrogen project toward commercial validation, we see a meaningful opportunity to support innovation, attract investment, create long-term economic value, and help position this region at the forefront of a new category of domestically sourced clean energy."
City Council ratified the MOU at its April 28, 2026, regular meeting, and the agreement was signed by both parties at Moose Jaw City Hall on Thursday, May 14, 2026.
