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

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
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
