Western GeoPower Obtains US$1.35 Million Increase to Secured Loan Facility

Western GeoPower Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WGP) (FRANKFURT:WE6), a renewable energy
company, today announced that it has obtained an increase in the amount
available under its existing secured loan facility (previously announced on
January 26, 2009) from US$11 million to US$12.35 million. Under the terms of the
amended loan facility, the additional tranche of US$1.35 million will be
available to the company when certain conditions precedent to that tranche have
been met, which are 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 on this new tranche at a rate of 1.25% per
month and the new tranche will be repayable on June 30, 2010. 


The proceeds of the loan may be used for drilling, project management, project
finance, development cost, plant equipment, and up to US$500,000 in monthly
working capital and general corporate purposes.


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 amended loan agreement. The timing of the
material change report is, in the company's view, both necessary and reasonable
because the terms of the amended 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 and to
satisfy current liabilities.
