A full listing of all Canadian Projects

Canada enjoys a rich heritage of geothermal resources that have been used for generations. The First Nations used the natural hot springs and pools for healing and spiritual purposes and regarded them as sacred wateres. Later as the Canadian frontier moved westward the hot springs and pools of the Canadian Rockies were discovered by early pioneers and settlers. Again, the significance and importance of the springs were recognized and helped to form Canada's first natioal park in 1887 - Banff National Park. [Learn More...]

ADK/Borealis Geothermal Demonstration Project

The ADK/Borealis Geothermal Demonstration Project is an innovative renewable heat and power project for a remote community in Northern Canada. It will consist of a geothermal plant which will deliver a minimum of +/- 1 MWe of electrical power (sufficient for ~750 homes or the entire community) and also +/- 1 MWth of direct heat, sufficient to power a local greenhouse complex for local food production.

Pebble Creek Property

Pebble Creek geothermal prospects consist of three geothermal permits in the north of the Meager Creek volcanic complex (location of the youngest volcanic events in the area). Early exploration activities in these prospects were carried out about three decades ago by BC hydro and consisted of resistivity survey, drilling 9 slim holes to a depth of 1100 m, geochemistry and geology (Nevin, 1992). Old temperature and lithological data from slim holes were recently integrated in a GIS database (consisting of most recent geological, geochemical and topographic data). Temperature models were created to delineate the geothermal up-flow zone and to assess the extent of the high-enthalpy reservoir, accessible from the permit areas. [Learn More...]
