Reservoir Granted Geothermal Exploration Permit in Serbia
=======================================================================
Vancouver, British Columbia (TSX Venture: REO) -- Reservoir Capital
Corp. ("Reservoir" or the "Company") is pleased to report that its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern European Exploration d.o.o. ("SEE")
has been granted an exploration permit for geothermal energy at
Vranjska Banja in southern Serbia; the first of its kind to be issued
to a private company in the country. SEE has also filed applications
for an additional three energy permits in the Vojvodina Province of
northern Serbia.
The Vranjska Banja exploration permit covers 17.5 square kilometres in
area, which has an elevated geothermal gradient attributed to the
presence of Tertiary-age intrusives. The Company's permit surrounds an
existing 200 square metre exploitation permit, where two existing
geothermal wells (VG-2 and VG-3) have confirmed a high temperature
gradient. Well VG-2 intercepted several hot water aquifers, the best of
which measured 126 degrees centigrade between 864-890 metres depth.
Well VG-3 intercepted a zone containing three intervals with measured
temperatures of 124 degrees centigrade, between 1,500 and 1,575 metres
depth.
The three permits still in the application phase in the Vojvodina
Province of northern Serbia cover targets located in the Pannonian
Basin. Historically, some 80 wells have been drilled in this basin, to
test the hydrological and geothermal potential of various porous and
permeable sedimentary units ranging in age from late Palaeozoic to
Quaternary.
In late 2009, the Serbian government introduced feed-in tariffs in line
with European Union standards, to encourage investment in renewable
energy, establishing a price of 7.5 Euro cents (approximately US$0.107)
per kilowatt hour for electricity derived from geothermal sources.
"Given the new feed-in tariffs, we see geothermal as a very viable form
of renewable energy for this region and the addition of geothermal
projects complements our growing hydroelectric development pipeline,"
commented Ms. Miljana Vidovic, President and CEO of Reservoir.
