Geothermal Worldwide

Global installed geothermal power is 10,700 MW, in 24 countries, supplying 60 million people with renewable energy

Overall potential global geothermal power capacity is 190,000 MW

Geothermal Power

• Heat is recovered from water recycling through the system and converted to electricity

• Continuous heat supply means that with proper engineering geothermal systems can run indefinitely

• The ultimate renewable resource! 8

Page 9: Disclaimer FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION: This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements relating, but not limited, to DEEP Earth Energy

• Geothermal power plants provide constant, baseload power as compared to wind or solar alternatives

• Silent• Small project footprint - almost invisible on the

prairie landscape• Low CO2 emissions

Geothermal v s. Other Renewables

Source: (1) NREL, AWEA and Glitnir Research. For biomass, the land use is tremendous and particular critical as it can be of influence to the food sector. It also has to be mentioned, that Solar PV could use space on roofs and walls and therefore not be a huge limitation.

Land Acquisition1. DEEP has received a Lease of Space agreement

from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources on an initial project area on approximately 9 sections of land near Estevan, Saskatchewan. The project area is located in Southeast Saskatchewan, west of Estevan, and totals 2,395.74 hectares (5,920 acres).

2. Pursuing partnerships with existing Petroleum and Natural Gas lease holders which can provide access to substantial reserves, possibly improving drill rig availability, and possible cost savings

3. Freehold rights agreements/consents are being pursued which may also include agreements on possible oil and gas discoveries 12

• Borealis Geopower Inc. prepared an independent technical report to ascertain the geologic and economic possibility of developing the geothermal resource for heat and electricity production in DEEP’s project area

• The document was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Geothermal Code for Public Reporting, produced by the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association

Conclusion: “… the analysis suggests that small geothermal (<5MW) power plants are economically viable.”

This project can be repeated over many fields

Saskatchewan Energy Demands

• SaskPower is facing an unprecedented demand from customers – 6.7% increase in the next 10 years

• Environmental regulations will influence SaskPower’s choice of electrical generation options– Coal-fired generation may not continue as it has in

the past…• Current capacity is 3,600 MW ( incl. 469 MW

purchased)• SaskPower will have to rebuild, replace or

acquire 4,100 MW of electricity by 2030 – no medium to long term plan for the “gap”

• What will fill this gap???? 17

Page 18: Disclaimer FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION: This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements relating, but not limited, to DEEP Earth Energy

Power Costs and Purchase Rates

• SaskPower announced in July that DEEP’s application for a 5.0 MW geothermal project located in Southeast Saskatchewan was selected in SaskPower’s Green Options Partners Program annual lottery

• The program streamlines power purchasing for small and medium-sized “clean power” producers that sell between 100 kilowatts (kW) and 10 megawatts (MW) of electricity, by providing a fixed price for all power produced under the contract.

• The energy tariff for 2012 is $98.02/MWh and increases at rate of 2% per year over the term of the contract

oil and gas drilling exploration• Low initial capital expenditure – Scalable and

Repeatable Projects• 100s of megawatts potentially available -

baseload• No carbon emissions• Silent and minimal environmental footprint• Inexhaustible resource – heat from the earth’s

core• Mature and reliable technology• Possible >20% IRR - in perpetuity

Additional PotentialWhat ifs…

• Leveraged financing• More efficient turbines• Government funding – SRED, etc.• Resource is better than anticipated – hotter

and better flow rates• Oil and gas discovery• Lithium discovery• Industrial application or carbon sequestrian

program• Improved power purchase agreement
