The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of geothermal resources in the Western United States, mainly in Nevada and Oregon. Geothermal power is energy generated by heat stored in the earth.

Its activities have focused on the development of renewable geothermal energy projects with an emphasis on the exploration and development of geothermal power at Blue Mountain, Nevada. Electricity generation from US geothermal resources is currently concentrated in California, Nevada, Hawaii and Utah, although there are opportunities for development in other states such as Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico and Oregon where there are geothermal resources and, in some cases, a favorable regulatory environment. The Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local statutory and regulatory environmental standards.
