PLANT OVERVIEW

 2 x 36 MW fuji turbines “above ground” – BOTH ONLINE SINCE JAN 2013  8 production wells producing approximately:

 425-450 tph of steam and  1000-1200 tph of hot brine.  Production wells 500M-2,500m in depth

 CURRENT steam results in power production of 55-57 MWs “gross”

  • r 50-52 MWs “net”

 5 Injection wells re-inject the hot brine into the reservoir to create a “closed loop”

 RENEWABLE ENERGY IN LITERAL SENSE

 Plant re-certified for CO2 credits - ~250,000 tons per year available

WELL SJ6-3

14

Update

 SJ6-3: Oct 12 to Dec 30, 2015.  Standard diameter deviated well (1918mMD / 1676mVD).  Achieve production from shallow reservoir and modest step out to the west.  Utilize exisiting infrastructure to tie-in for production.  Currently undergoing thermal recovery.

slide-15

WELL SJ14-1

15

Update

 Spudded on January 09, 2016.  @1996mMD / 2339mMD (target depth).  Well was sidetracked to change direction and inclination.  Looking for confirmation of temperature and permeability.  Well targeting deep reservoir (BT Fault).  If well successful for production, will commence procurement and construction

Option 9C – preferred

 Depth: ~1200m  Direction: NNW  Target: Shallow reservoir between SJ6 and SJ5

Option 9A

 Depth: ~2000m  Direction: SE  Target: BT Fault (Deep)

  • Area of known temperature, permeability and

proven production

  • Estimated 5 MWe based on other wells drilled

to same part of resource (80% POS)

SJ6-3

 Completed on Dec 30, 2015  Thermal recovery to be completed in June 2016  Expected tie-in in July 2016

SJ14-1

 ~10 days to complete (if drilling conditions allow)  Thermal recovery approximately 75 days  Expected tie-in in Q1 2017

Workovers (SJ11-1, SJ12-1, SJ10-1 & SJ1-1)

 To commence in Apr 2016  Expected duration ~70 days

SJ9-4

 Spud date end of June 2016  Expected duration ~50 to 60 days  Expected tie-in in Q4 2016

DRILLING CAMPAIGN FINANCIAL IMPACT

18

 Each new MW will provide ~$1 mm per year in additional EBITDA / Free Cash Flow  Current PIF RUN RATE EBITDA of $39mm  Given 2016 debt service of $22-23mm and MMRA contributions of $5 - $6mm the free cash flow to equity holders is $11 mm.  Approximately US$0.70 per share  Given debt service is “fixed” the impact on free cash flow to equity holders is significant  Each additional MW added would increase FCF per share by approximately US$0.06 per share annually  10 year tax holiday (with a likely extension) enables tax free “distributions” to Canada  Recently announced initial quarterly dividend of US$0.10 per share

BINARY UNIT

Binary Unit Options

 Polaris is currently assessing binary unit feasibility  Need to know approximate brine flow after dully program  Cost - $25 - $30mm  Additional MW - ~6 – 10 MW

 Equates to approx. $6 - $10mm additional revenue and cash flow

 Need to incorporate silica solution 21

CASITA PROJECT

22

 $11 million invested to date

 Geophysics  Access road  “Slim” hole drilled to 850 m in 2011

 Confirmed geophysics and potential “DRY STEAM” resource of 100 MW+  In government’s plan to come online in 2019  Working with World Bank to access “drilling” capital to de-risk  SYNERGIES AVAILABLE:

 Use same rig from San Jacinto drilling campaign  In-place administrative and operations personnel
