announcement out

Great news on a really bad day.

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY COMPANY, Green Rock Energy Limited,
(ASX code: GRK), is pleased to announce the appointment of three leading
renewable energy consultants to assist the Company in identifying, evaluating and
developing commercially based geothermal energy projects in Australia and
overseas.

Green Rock Energy utilises the services of a limited number of specialists, with
global experience in their respective geothermal / renewable energy fields, to provide
the Company with the best available knowledge and expertise without the significant
cost and administration that would come with direct employment during the
Company’s early stages of growth.

The three consultants are:

Roy Baria – a geophysicist with specialities in seismic profiling and geothermal
reservoir engineering. He is a director of MIL-TECH UK and Hot Dry Rocks Pty
Ltd and was formerly Deputy Director of the U.K. Geothermal Project at
Rosemanowes, England, and Scientist in Charge of the Soultz Geothermal project
in Soultz-sous-Forêts, France. Roy worked alongside Green Rock Energy’s non-
executive director, Jörg Baumgärtner at the Soultz geothermal project, the
foremost Enhanced Geothermal System project in Europe.
Ian Campbell – former Senator in the Australian Federal Government and most
recently Federal Minister for the Environment. In this capacity he administered a
range of government programs providing support to renewable energy industries.
Ian served in various executive positions in the Senate from 1996, including
Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, Minister for Local Government,
Territories and Roads, Minister for the Environment and Heritage and Minister
for Human Services.

Jeff Harding – former CEO of Pacific Hydro Limited, one of Australia’s leading
renewable energy companies. Jeff oversaw the successful completion of the Ord
River Hydro Electric project in Western Australia, the Bakun Hydro Electric
development in the Philippines, the successful entry of Pacific Hydro into wind
energy projects in Australia and hydro electric projects in Chile.

The Company’s Managing Director, Adrian Larking, said "We are very pleased that
three such experienced and senior people associated with renewable energy have
agreed to work with Green Rock Energy. The consultants will provide their services
to the Company on both an individual and collective basis. This is a flexible
arrangement that will enable the Company to obtain the maximum benefit from their
knowledge and operational experience, obtained at the highest levels in their different
fields of renewable energy, which will complement that of Green Rock Energy’s
management and board.

The Company is well positioned to undertake both the deep drilling at our Olympic
Dam Geothermal Energy Project at Olympic Dam, following the mini-fracture
program that will occur later this year, and progress the Hungarian Geothermal
Project with the imminent selection and subsequent production testing of the second
site in the Pannonian Basin of Hungary”.

My take.
Great to see some more really high calibre people on the case.
Apart from the markets getting belted which won't last forever, these people add tremendously to the team.
cheers
