Bloomberg – Nov 29, 2007
("EPCR") has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MU") with the Carbon Development Partnership ("CDP") a general partnership indirectly and equally held by Sherritt International Corporation and the ntario Teachers' Pension Plan that could see EPCR construct own and operate facilities to provide power generation water and wastewater treatment services to CDP's Dodds-Roundhill coal gasification project ("the project") near Ryley Alberta. EPCR's involvement in the project will be determined following the completion of development work being conducted in 2007 and 2008 including stakeholder consultations initiating regulatory processes defining commercial and financial details completing preliminary engineering and design work and establishing contractual arrangements. Construction of the facilities would be subject to such conditions as approval from the boards of directors for the three companies regulatory approvals economic and engineering assessments. "EPCR has a track record of applying innovative technologies and approaches in power generation and water treatment" said Jim osterbaan Senior Vice President EPCR. "The power and water projects we are evaluating for the Dodds-Roundhill project further demonstrate our leadership and commitment to innovation by incorporating clean coal technologies as well as delivery and treatment of reuse water. " If approved EPCR's components of the project would include a combined-cycle power plant water and wastewater treatment facilities and a water transmission main… "The power and water projects we are evaluating for the Dodds-Roundhill project further demonstrate our leadership and commitment to innovation by incorporating clean coal technologies as well as delivery and treatment of reuse water. " If approved EPCR's components of the project would include a combined-cycle power plant water and wastewater treatment facilities and a water transmission main. The combined-cycle power plant would be Canada's first plant capable of generating power by using coal-based synthesis gases and natural gas. The power plant would have a net generation capacity of 380 megawatts ("MW") the majority of which would be used to meet the load requirements of the site and EPCR would sell surplus power to Alberta's power market. EPCR is also evaluating the feasibility of delivering reuse water from Edmonton to meet the project's water needs. The combined capital cost of these components is currently estimated to be approximately $1 billion. If the development work proceeds according to plan the required regulatory approvals are obtained and final project approvals are received from the boards of directors for the three companies the facility would be expected to be in operation by 2013.

(”Cardero” or the “Company”) (TSX: CDU)(AMEX: CDY)(FRANKFURT: CR5) is pleased to provide an update of its key iron ore projects located in the Marcona Iron District Peru where advanced engineering – prefeasibility level studies have been initiated at the Pampa El Toro Iron Sands and scoping level studies are planned for the Pampa de Pongo iron deposit. Pampa El Toro Iron SandsCardero Iron re Company Ltd. (Cardero’s iron ore subsidiary) (”Cardero Iron”) has purchased a magnetic separation pilot plant from Eriez Pennsylvania which is currently being shipped to site. The magnetic unit and associated ancillary equipment are fully scalable with their industrial counterparts and will provide important information regarding material through-put and recoveries. The magnetic separation pilot plant will be installed at the Company’s custom built testing facility where approximately 1000 tonnes of Pampa El Toro ‘run of mine’ (RM) material has been excavated from the extensive magnetite bearing dune field and is securely stored… (Cardero’s iron ore subsidiary) (”Cardero Iron”) has purchased a magnetic separation pilot plant from Eriez Pennsylvania which is currently being shipped to site.

The magnetic separation pilot plant will be installed at the Company’s custom built testing facility where approximately 1000 tonnes of Pampa El Toro ‘run of mine’ (RM) material has been excavated from the extensive magnetite bearing dune field and is securely stored. RM material will be upgraded by magnetic separation to produce approximately 40 tonnes of iron concentrate which the Company anticipates will grade between 50 and 60% iron. This phase of the work program is scheduled to commence in January 2008. The iron ore concentrate will subsequently be exported to the United States for pilot plant scale melting tests designed by Cardero Iron’s President Glenn Hoffman to produce what the Company believes will be a premium quality pig iron ranging from 96 to 98% iron and 2 – 4% carbon. Previous testing by Cardero at the facilities of Midrex Technologies Inc.

The fuel is natural gas. The guaranteed emissions levels are 25ppmvd for Nx 25ppmvd for C and 15ppmvd for HC. riginally the plant was used for district heating; the exhaust gas was used to heat water which was circulated to the town of Silkeborg’s residents and electric power production was a byproduct. With the upgrade by GE Energy an exhaust bypass stack will be installed and the plant’s future operation will have the flexibility to provide heat to the town as needed or provide electric power to the grid when only power is needed. As part of the conversion modification and upgrade GE Energy also will supply engineering project management and field service. The gas turbines and services will be provided on a turnkey basis with both units being installed and fully operational by August 2008. “In choosing GE Energy for the plant upgrade Silkeborg Kraftvarmevaerk’s main concerns were an improvement in power output and guaranteed emissions levels while continuing to have the economical heat they’ve come to rely on” said Charles (Chip) Blankenship general manager of GE Energy’s aeroderivative division… riginally the plant was used for district heating; the exhaust gas was used to heat water which was circulated to the town of Silkeborg’s residents and electric power production was a byproduct.

Following in Lebanon’s footsteps several other regon citiesthrough the years have selected CH2M HILL MI as their partner includingHood River Roseburg Coos Bay Sweet Home and Dallas. “Lebanon was one of the pioneers in realizing the benefits of contractoperations and maintenance partnerships and we’re proud to continueworking for this progressive city today — providing not only our &Mexpertise but also engineering and construction services from the rest ofour enterprise” says Mark Lasswell president of CH2M HILL MI. City officials also selected CH2M HILL to design and build a SiemensCannibal® Solids Reduction System at the wastewater treatment plant. Theproject is expected to reduce the amount of biosolids produced and lowerdisposal costs. CH2M HILL has provided engineering expertise to the cityfor more than 40 years. When CH2M HILL MI first began working with Lebanon in 1982 the companywas responsible only for the 3-million-gallon-per-day wastewater plant andassociated biosolids handling. Just two years later the wastewaterfacility was named Plant of the Year by the Pacific Northwest PollutionControl Association for its energy-conserving techniques.
