  1. Utah GeothermalWorking Group Meeting Presented by Lyle Ball & Paul Stephan / Oct 2005 © 2005 AMP Resources June 9, 2014

  2. Amp Resources Founded 2002 • Amp Capital Partners • Highland Capital (Boston) • Sorenson Capital (SLC)

  3. Amp Resources: Business Focus • Technology Innovation • Subsurface resource mapping (WILLOWSTICK™ AQUATRACK™) • Ammonia/Water binary cycle technology (RECURRENT™ KALINA™) • Industrial waste heat power generation (RECURRENT™ KALINA™) • Investing millions in energy R&D, CLEANTECH lobby & market education • Engineering Excellence • Project engineering, site advisory, land development & construction management services • Environmental, mechanical, process, civil, structural & electrical engineering • Logistics, inspections, equipment procurement & expediting • Outside financing assistance, bid package preparation & evaluation • Power Project Development • Development & ownership of 6 initial geothermal projects • Investing millions in development of geothermal & waste heat projects • Global Orientation

  4. Acquisitions (Wholly-Owned Entities)

  5. Subsurface Resource Mapping with Willowstick™ Aquatrack™ • A patented, magnetic-based subsurface technology that: • Maps greater detail at depth than other electrical methods (>1 km) • Maps broader area (1-1,000+ acres) than downhole geophysical techniques • Provides unparalleled accuracy for delineating subsurface water • Less intrusive than drilling wells • Rapid mobilization, analysis and conclusive results

  6. AquaTrack Applications • Geothermal mapping and monitoring • Municipal / culinary well site placement • Contamination plume & reaction-front mapping • Aquifer & groundwater mapping • Landfill seepage mapping • Dam leak detection & location • Mine infiltration, control & remediation • Oil production steam injection plume mapping • Pipeline, reservoir and canal leak detection & location

  7. Kalina™ Geothermal Project Portfolio Surprise Valley CA Salt Wells NV Clear Lake CA Cove Fort UT Stillwater NV Hot Creek NV

  8. Global Orientation • SIEMENS (Licensee; two divisions) • PENTA (U.S. waste heat power generation) • GeoDynamics (Australia geothermal license) • GERD (Japanese geothermal research & engineering) • OCEES (Ocean-based power generation)

  9. KALINA® Cycle Technology • Invented 1988 • Commercially available from Amp Resources & licensees around the globe • Underlying principles are simple & understood • Effective, efficient & safe • Utilized in refrigeration for more than 100 years • Breakthroughs in: • Understanding of ammonia/water properties • Applying principles to power plant operations • Developing advanced efficiency designs

  10. KALINA = Processes & Methods • Unique process uses standard technology & components • Use active control of ammonia & water to achieve the following gains: • Improved heat transfer process • Improved recuperation • Use of (and reliance on) PROVEN power plant components Improved plant efficiency, more efficient use of a fixed heat source

  11. Components are Well Known & Proven

  12. Implementation Options: Cow or Milk? • Buy the Cow • Purchase a turnkey system • Amp Resources can assist with outside financing • Option to operate the power facility • Lease the Pasture, Buy Required Milk • Amp Resources builds the system • Your company contracts with Amp Resources for electricity

  13. KALINA Projects • Canoga Park 6.5 MW combined cycle - Test Plant 1991 • Fukuoka 5 MW waste heat from MSW incinerator - Test Plant 1999 • Sumitomo Steel 4 MW waste heat from closed loop cooling -1999 • Husavik 2 MW geothermal - 2000 • Chiyoda 4 MW waste heat from hydrocarbon process tower - 2005 • Salt Wells 10 MW geothermal - 2007 • Stillwater 30 MW geothermal - 2007 • Cove Fort 37 MW geothermal - 2007 • Surprise Valley 20 MW geothermal - 2007

  14. Environmental & Safety • Less hazardous & flammable than organic cycle working fluids • Environmentally benign (the most common compound found in nature) • Ammonia vents easily, and is self alarming • Ammonia is the 6th most-produced chemical in the United States • Proven safety record in ammonia synthesis Ammonia-Water is safe & environmentally friendly

  15. Reliability • Standard power plant design practice • 100 years of steam turbine experience • Fewer prime movers (turbines & pumps) • Standard heat transfer components

  16. K-Cycle Areas of Application Power Generation from: • Waste Heat in INDUSTRY • Cement Manufacturing • Gas Compressor Stations • Iron & Steel Industry • Chemical Industry • Incineration Plants • Diesel Plants • Hot Brine Heat Recuperation • Geothermal Projects HighTemp. 500° C Steel Plant (Japan) Waste Incineration (Japan) LowTemp. 100° C Primary Source Geothermal Plant (Iceland)
