Western GeoPower Secures Additional US$11 Million Secured Loan Facility

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR TO
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEWS SERVICES.


Western GeoPower Corp., (TSX VENTURE:WGP) (FRANKFURT:WE6) a renewable energy
company, today announced that it has entered into a new US$11 million secured
loan facility. Under the terms of the loan facility the initial tranche of US$7
million will be available to the company upon receipt of approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange for the issuance of warrants and the payment of certain lending
fees and expenses. The second tranche of US$4 million will be available to the
company when all conditions precedent to that tranche have been met, including
the perfection of security, the discharge of any liens other than permitted
liens, payment of certain lending fees and expenses, and that no event of
default then exists. Interest will be payable at a rate of 1% for the first six
months, 1.25% for the second six months and 1.5% thereafter.


As partial consideration for entering into the loan facility, the company has
agreed to issue 43,495,543 warrants of the company, each warrant being
exercisable for a period of 24 months at a price per warrant of CDN$0.14. The
warrants and underlying shares will be subject to a hold period of four months
following their issuance.


The proceeds of the loan may be used for drilling, project management,
development cost, plant equipment, and up to US$300,000 in monthly working
capital and general corporate purposes.


On November 7, 2008, the Company entered into an initial US$11 million secured
loan facility, which has been fully drawn upon by the Company.


The company will file a material change report as soon as practicable after
issuing this press release. The material change report will be filed less than
21 days prior to the closing of the loan agreement. The timing of the material
change report is, in the company's view, both necessary and reasonable because
the terms of the loan agreement were settled and approved by the company's board
of directors and the company requires immediate funding to maintain the schedule
for its project at The Geysers Geothermal Field in California.
