Do any other publicly traded geothermal corporations exist?
Yes, there are two that are listed on Toronto Stock Exchange. Continental Ridge Resources Inc (symbol: KRI) has drilled one test hole on the Blue Mountain project in northern Nevada. Whereas, they have encountered a heat source, it will require a ten well program to determine there if there is a commercial reservoir. USGEO, at Raft River, already has an established reservoir with production and injection wells in place. North Pacific GeoPower Corp. (symbol: NPP), has the Meager Creek property in west-central British Columbia. Meager Creek is an advanced project with several test holes, but is located in a mountainous area where access is difficult and the site is over 70 miles from the BC Hydro power grid. The permitting and capital cost for an interconnecting power transmission line will be substantial. USGEO has a 138 KVA power transmission line linked to the Idaho Power and BPA electrical grid that crosses the Raft River property.
