The first lease is a 50-year lease, providing Raser with the right to develop and construct geothermal power plants on 155 acres.

We believe that the properties covered by these new leases provide additional geothermal opportunities and help diversify our development efforts. One of these new sites is particularly attractive to us since a geothermal well was previously drilled on the property. This existing well can assist in our documenting thermal gradient information in the area."
