Fuel Ethanol

Winfield is also seeking an entry into the fuel ethanol industry. In 2007 Winfield engaged TDI Technologies of Edmonton, Alberta to prepare a full feasibility report for the creation of a ethanol feedlot facility to be located near High Level, Alberta.

The High Level report is based on an earlier TDI Technology design basin Poundmaker, Saskatchewan.

The Poundmaker facility use wheat as its feedstock and extends the food chain by combining a 25,000 cattle feedlot, using The protein portion of the wheat kernel, with a fuel ethanol capability, using the starch component of the wheat kernel. This approach distinguishes itself from the corn based ethanol plants that compete directly with corn derived foodstuffs.

The Government of Canada has mandated that by 2010, 5% of all motor vehicle fuel retailed in Canada must contain 5% Ethanol, which would raise national demand to 3 billion litres (bl) a year.

Narrative Description of the Business

Winfield’s primary business is the engineering, procuring, construction and management of standalone crude oil refineries.High commodity prices and low interest rates are the drivers behind this business direction.

The overall economics or viability of a refinery depends on the interaction of three key elements: (i) the choice of crude oil used (crude slates); (ii) the complexity of the refining equipment (refinery configuration); and (iii) the desired type and quality of products produced (product slate).

Refinery utilization rates and environmental considerations also influence refinery economics.Using more expensive crude oil (lighter, sweeter) requires less refinery upgrading but supplies of light, sweet crude oil are decreasing and the differential between heavier and more sour crude is increasing.Using cheaper heavier crude oil means more investment in upgrading processes.

Payback periods for refinery processing units must be weighed against anticipated crude oil costs and the projected differential between light and heavy crude oil prices.

Crude slates and refinery configurations must take into account the type of products that will ultimately be needed in the marketplace.

The quality specifications of the final products are also increasingly important as environmental requirements become more stringent.

Winfield has identified a site at Nouakchott, Mauritania to construct and operate a 300,000 barrel per day oil refinery.

Winfieldhas engaged KBC Process Technology Ltd. of Surrey, UK, under a Services Agreement (dated November 12, 2007), to provide consulting services and technical support to include refinery configuration review; refinery product yields and qualities; marketing plans; technology selection and licensor selection; energy efficiency review; project design basis document review and project schedule strategy review.

Winfield will refinance in January, 2009, to complete the KBC bankable feasibility report.

Management has reapplied, with revised refinery economics, to the Tunisian Authorities to build, own and operate a new stand alone green fields 300,000 barrel per day oil refinery in the Tax Free Port of Zarzis, Tunisia.

Management has applied to the Angolan Authorities to build, own and operate a new stand alone green fields 300,000 barrel per day oil refinery in the Republic of Angola. Angola is Africa’s fourth largest petroleum producer at1,250,000 barrels per day.

In April 2008, the Company created a 100% wholly owned Barbados subsidiary to manage its international operations, and to operate under the existing income tax treaty signed January 22, 1980 between the Government of Canada and the Government of Barbados.

In parallel with its refinery initiatives Winfield Resources Limited is pursuing enhanced oil recovery activities (“EOR”). This business is focused on "Discovered Reserve Opportunities".
