RPG: Mayacamas Raises Real Option Value

SEAN PEASGOOD, Wellington West Capital Markets (06/24/2010)
"RPG purchases 421-acre property for undisclosed cash sum.
The property is adjacent to RPG's Geysers project and has three tested production wells that can support half the 25–35MW required for Geysers.

The transaction eliminates Ram's need to pay royalties at Geysers.
RPG has improved the economics of the project and strengthened the negotiation position with third party operators for a potential steam sale.

We continue to believe RPG favors selling the steam.
Selling the steam would provide RPG with recurring revenue and no associated capex and expenses. We believe large operators are interested.

Reiterating Buy rating and C$4.50 price target.
RPG's shares are attractive at 0.5x FDFF risked NAV. Next catalysts for the shares are the potential steam sale at Geysers and development at SJT."
