Read the part about east africa, The grant has already been approved. I don't think i have ever heard how much. $200 million non-returnable grant, until released publicly, will only be a rumor.

MAY REVIEW
TRIPOLI, LIBYA
Agreement in principle has been reached with the National Oil Company [NOC] of Libya to supply WINFIELD with 300,000
barrels of crude oil per day for WINFIELD’S proposed new oil refi nery in the Port of Zarzis, tax free zone, Tunisia. Management
of WINFIELD is to attend meetings later this month with the NOC to formalize the feedstock arrangement.
HIGH LEVEL ALBERTA ETHANOL – FEEDLOT FACILITY
Negotiations to fi nance the $30 million dollar Integrated Ethanol – Feedlot Facility are ongoing. Management anticipates a
conclusion to full facility fi nancing in the very near term. The High Level design is based on an earlier TDI Technology Inc.
commission at Poundmaker, Saskatchewan, that has had returns of 25 to 33% per year for the previous 15 years.
NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA ETHANOL FACILITY
TDI Technology Inc. has identifi ed two technologies for the conversion of biomass (Cellulose) to ethanol. Both processes fi rst gasify
the biomass to produce syngas; carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. The syngas is then converted to ethanol in one of
two processes. The fi rst process utilizes fermentation of the syngas to ethanol while the latter uses a high pressure and temperature
catalyst. Both processes are ready for the construction and operation of a demonstration plant, each requiring about $3 million to
reach the commercialization stage.
WINFIELD’S immediate intent is to reach a conditional agreement, leading to a technology use license within the next month or so.
WINFIELD has engaged TDI Technology to secure the technology for WINFIELD’S use, manage their interests in the process
development work, and prepare a feasibility study for a wood waste to ethanol facility in a northern BC location.
EAST AFRICA
WINFIELD’S application for a non refundable Grant to fi nance a renewable sustainable fuel ETHANOL Facility using indigenous
feed stocks has been approved by the Grant provider. WINFIELD now awaits the consent of the Rwandan Government. This fi le
is before the Rwandan Authorities, is in process and going through Rwandan Regulatory review. WINFIELD is seeking fi nance to
build a 45 million litre per year fuel ETHANOL facility. Existing facilities of this size or greater are currently in commercial production
in Thailand.
