TSXV SYMBOL: GNO
OTCBB SYMBOL: GNOLF.OB
Calgary, Alberta Genoil Inc. (“Genoil” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide an update regarding the work currently being done with respect to the letter of intent previously announced on October 3, 2006 (the “LOI”) entered into with Hebei Zhongjie Petrochemical Group Company Ltd. (“Hebei Zhongjie”). Hebei Zhongjie is currently working to obtain the necessary permits to ship oil for testing to the Corporation’s pilot facility in Two Hills, Alberta, in the near future.
Concurrent with Hebei Zhongjie’s work, Genoil is conducting simulation studies and expects to complete the final feasibility study for the Project, which entails obtaining quotes from suppliers and engineering companies for performance of the work, within four to six months. Once these costs are formulated into anticipated final costs, the Corporation intends to obtain final approval for the Project and put into place non-dilutive, non-recourse sheet financing for its portion of the Project.
The LOI sets out the framework upon which Genoil and Hebei Zhongjie plan to proceed with the design and installation of a 20,000 barrels per day Genoil Hydroconversion Upgrader (“GHUTM“) at Hebei Zhongjie’s 150,000 barrels per day petrochemical facility in Nampaihe Town, Huanghua City, Hebei, China (the “Project”). The LOI also provides that the Corporation will fund 80% of the total capital costs for the implementation of the Project (the “Corporation’s Costs”) and Hebei Zhongjie agrees to fund the remaining 20%. Further, the LOI provides that net profits of the Project shall be allocated and paid as to 60% to the account of the Corporation and as to 40% to the account of Hebei Zhongjie until such time as the Corporation has received net profits in an amount equal to double the Corporation’s Costs.
Following such time, 10% of all net profits realized from the Project are to be received by the Corporation for so long as the refinery remains in operation. The full text of the LOI can be found by clicking on the following link –http://www.ccnmatthews.com/docs/gno1121.pdf, or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Genoil is a technology development and engineering company providing environmentally sound solutions to the oil and gas industry through the use of proprietary technologies. The GHUTM is designed to economically convert heavy crude oil into more valuable light upgraded crude, high in yields of transport fuels, while significantly reducing the sulfur, nitrogen and other contaminants.
Genoil’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol GNO, as well as on the OTC Bulletin Board under GNOLF.OB.
