First Two Geysers Wells Demonstrate 12.6 MW Initial Capacity

Vancouver, Canada - Western GeoPower Corp., a renewable energy development company, announced that testing of well WGP-2 at the Company

Together with the flow rate of approximately 161,000 lb/hr (73,028 kg/hr) demonstrated by well WGP-1 as announced May 6, 2008, the first two wells together have an initial capacity of 203,500 lb/hr (92,306 kg/hr) of steam, representing 12.6 MW (gross). The wells will supply steam to the 35 MWe Western GeoPower Unit 1 plant, projected to start commercial operations in early 2010.

Well WGP-2 was directionally drilled to the north-north-east of the pad to a total depth of 9,935 feet (3,028 m). A rig test carried out by independent consultants GeothermEx, Inc. demonstrated an initial, unstabilized steam flow rate of about 42,500 lb/hr (19,300 kg/hr) at the design flowing wellhead pressure of approximately 80 psia. The rig has been moved to the Filley leasehold and has commenced drilling well WGP-3 which has been designed to intersect known productive zones to the north of the pad. Completion of WGP-3 is projected for November.
