Why Paralana?

Evidence for Thermal Anomalism
-
› Hot Springs
-
› Fossil Hydrothermal Breccias
-
› Elevated groundwater temperatures
-
› High heat flow (Mt Gee 126 mWm[-2)]
-
› Poontana basin insulator

Paralana Project – Commercial Overview
----- End of picture text -----
-
› Commercially viable at all stages. Small off grid market (5-30MWe) (Heathgate) followed by large on grid development (260 MWe+)
-
› Expenditure well leveraged for proof of concept, then potentially fully funded to initial commercial demonstration scale 30MW plant
-
› Funding and expertise from JV Partners, Beach Petroleum (up to 36 per cent for $30m) and TRUenergy (up to 30 per cent for $57m)
-
› Strong Federal Government grant support - $7 million geothermal drilling fund and $62.762 million REDP grant
