VANCOUVER , Canada, February 13, 2007: Western GeoPower Corp., a renewable energy company focused on geothermal energy development, today announced the acquisition of a geothermal lease covering 74 acres contiguous to the Company’s Unit 15 Steam Field located within The Geysers Geothermal Field in Northern California. The total area under lease by Western GeoPower at The Geysers Field is approximately 600 acres and it is anticipated that one power plant will process steam production from the combined leaseholds.

In a Feasibility Report completed in October 2006, independent consultants GeothermEx, Inc. of Richmond, California, concluded the original two Unit 15 leaseholds acquired by Western GeoPower, covering 520 acres, will support a 25.5 Megawatt (net) power plant. Western GeoPower has commissioned GeothermEx to assess the potential for additional steam resources from the newly acquired leasehold.

“Potential drilling targets within the new leasehold can be accessed by directional drilling from existing drill pads,” said Kenneth MacLeod, President and Chief Executive Officer of Western GeoPower. “With 19 drill pads available throughout the combined leaseholds and each pad capable of supporting multiple wells, significant cost savings can be realized throughout the proposed 8-well drilling program.”

Western GeoPower is currently reviewing several proposals to fund the Unit 15 field and plant development. Details will be announced upon conclusion of the review.

The Geysers Geothermal Field, located 75 miles north of San Francisco, California, is the largest producer of geothermal electricity in the world. Commercial geothermal power has been generated continuously at The Geysers Field since 1960, the present generation level being about 900 megawatts of clean, baseload electricity. Western GeoPower’s Unit 15 leasehold is situated in the southwestern region of The Geysers Field in Sonoma County and much of the leasehold lies within the presently known boundary of The Geysers Field. A commercial power plant of 62 megawatt (gross) capacity, known as PG&E Unit 15, operated at the leasehold during 1979-1989.
