The 2,702,800 Flow-Through Shares will be issued at a price of $1.85 per Flow-Through Share, representing an approximate 16% premium to the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") on September 30, 2019, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $5,000,000 (the "Offering").

The gross proceeds from the sale of Flow-Through Shares will be used by the Company to incur qualifying "Canadian renewable and conservation expenses" ("CRCE") as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) ("Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's geothermal power projects in Alberta. The Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of Flow-Through Shares with an effective date on or before December 31, 2019, and in the aggregate amount of not less than the gross proceeds of the Offering.

The Offering is being made by way of private placement in Canada. The Flow-Through Shares will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada. The Offering is expected to close on or about October 17, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSXV.
