  2. Alan Auld Proposal for Technical & Commercial Support Services to the Laguna Project • We propose to provide technical, commercial and project management support services to the project science team through the different phases of project development. • From the original seven site proposals three sites have been selected for further development. • To conclude the site selection process each site must be assessed independently using set criteria for suitability:- • Geological • Scientific • Socio/ Political • Economic 1 South Parade, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN1 2DY, UK Tel: +44 (0) 1302 329911 Fax: +44 (0) 1302 329922

  3. What is Laguna A complex/mining/civil engineering/process engineering/science project involving many disciplines. There will be many challenges to overcome to ensure a successful project built on time and on budget. 1 South Parade, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN1 2DY, UK Tel: +44 (0) 1302 329911 Fax: +44 (0) 1302 329922

  4. Laguna- The Challenges Safety - Very large chamber excavation to support Safety - Large tank containing liquid argon at very low temperatures Safety – Safe operation and maintenance for workforce & technicians Safety/Cost – Needs to be operational for many years with safety backups Cost – Dependant on many factors, including site specifics and logistics Site Selection - Fair and open decision process to select the best site based on all relevant factors Project Management- Ensure smooth communication between all specialists 1 South Parade, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN1 2DY, UK Tel: +44 (0) 1302 329911 Fax: +44 (0) 1302 329922

  5.
