VANCOUVER , Canada , June 1, 2007: Western GeoPower Corp. announces the appointment of Thomas S. Drolet to the Board of Directors. Mr. Drolet’s extensive experience of working 38 years in the worldwide energy industry will be an important asset in assisting the company’s expansion as an international developer and operator of renewable energy projects.

Mr. Drolet served in a number of senior management positions with Ontario Hydro - the world’s fourth largest electrical utility – and was President and CEO of Ontario Hydro International Inc. at the time of his retirement in 1994. He led OHI’s development as a provider of project financing, design and construction services with annual revenue streams of up to $60 million in more than 40 countries.

He subsequently served as Vice President-Corporate Development with Black and McDonald of Toronto; Managing Director of American Electric Power Resources – Canada; and Vice President-International Business with DTE Energy Technologies of Detroit, Michigan. He currently is President of Canadian Energy Opportunities Inc. and of Drolet Energy Services L.L.C. of Granite Falls, North Carolina.

“Mr. Drolet has a unique background in initiating and developing energy projects around the world,” states Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO of Western GeoPower. “He has provided project assessments, negotiated joint venture partnerships, and taken direct responsibility for the financing, design, engineering and construction of energy projects for private corporations, utilities and governments.

“That experience will be of great value to Western GeoPower as we carry out our strategic plan to expand beyond our current geothermal projects in British Columbia and California. Mr. Drolet will be very much a ‘working’ Director in terms of assessing new business opportunities presented to the Board.”

The Company has granted Mr. Drolet 300,000 incentive stock options to purchase capital stock of the Company at a price of $0.32 per share for a period of five years under the stock option plan.
