WORLDWIDE RIGHTS TO MST™ SOLAR TECHNOLOGY
|
|
MEARS SOLAR The Mears solar technology has derived directly from the MST™ research. K2 has agreed to fund research and development by Mears Technologies Inc, with the goal of commercialising the Mears improved solar cells. K2 has been granted an exclusive worldwide licence to commercially develop and exploit the solar applications of the MST™ technology. MTI will be entitled to 50% of the earnings from the commercialisation of the solar technology. Solar cells or photovoltaics (PVs) are an established renewable energy source, with PV cell production increasing by 48% each year since 2002, making it one of the world’s fastest growing technologies. The Mears MST™ technology potentially addresses one of the major limiting factors for PV technology and solar power generation being the efficiency limits of silicon PV cells. MTI believes that a key efficiency parameter can be lifted significantly using MST™ technology and furthermore that the amount of silicon required can be significantly reduced over time, potentially making PV cells both significantly more efficient and much less expensive. The MST™ technology involves the production of an altered or “nano-doped” layer of silicon that can be inserted into the manufacture of silicon solar PV wafers. The process lends itself to application in existing silicon wafer manufacturing processes. K2 Energy intends to commercialise each generation of MST™ to large scale solar panel manufacturers. |

| Oil and gas interest – oklahoma
|
|
The acreage is prospective for multiple conventional gas zones and many conventional oil and gas drill targets have been identified from 3D seismic interpretation. In addition there is potential for a significant unconventional gas resource in the Bad Creek Project area. In February 2010 a new operator, Trey Resources Inc. was appointed to the project which has begun the process of re-evaluating all geological data for the project to design a revised exploration and development plan. In June 2010, K2 Energy combined its oil and gas interests with the oil and gas interests controlled by Trey Resources Inc. As a result, K2 Energy now holds a 30% interest in Trey Resources 1 LLC, which gives K2 an economic interest in a more diverse oil and gas and production undertaking in the USA. K2 Energy will have the opportunity to invest further in additional exploration at its election, in proportion to its holding in Trey Resources 1 LLC. |
