Dear Hunter,
Thank you for the info and ideas provided. Let me have a closer look at it.
And since we're entering the geothermal market in any case, maybe it would be worth having a meeting with your friend Director of the Power to Africa during my DC visit. Even if we don't have defined interested in Latin America today. talking to him could potentially create new ideas for us. What do you think?
When were in Iceland, we met with one company RG - Reykjavik Geothermal that is actually one of the developers of the Power to Africa program and they suggested to us a certain participation format; we didn't get back to them with the positive answer yet. since we are not particularly familiar with the environment there.
Best,
Vadym

As for Africa- one of my closest friends is the Director of "Power Africa" if we have any interest we have a direct route.
RHBDear Hunter,Thank you for the info provided. As to the deep sea drilling in Greece as well as in other places like Cyprus, as you correctly suggested it's not our priority at the moment, since it's quite expensive and as you know we're pursuing a few other alternative directions.As to the geothermal drilling in Central and South Africa, I heard about that a lot, and i know that there are a lot of activities under way. Of course, it's worth exploring further. The key downside for us is the unstable political environment. But if hypothetically, it could be compensated by means of aligning with US financial or state institutions, it could be of interest (I heard about a program called Power to Africa supported by the US government, current administration).Best,Vadym2015-03-31 17:30 GMT+03:00 Hunter Biden <hbiden@rosemontseneca.com>:V-Please read article attached. I assume we have no interest as it is all "deep sea" drilling- but let me know. Also, I was reading up on Geothermal and there is a program being funded through the IMF I believe for geothermal drilling in Central and South America that looked interesting. Should I do some more investigation?
RHB

Hunter, This might be something that Burisma should look at. We can certainly help if there is interest. Thanks!
