Black Warrior, Nevada

Click to view Fact Sheet (PDF)
The Black Warrior property is located south and east of Black Warrior peak, in Washoe and Churchill Counties, Nevada. The property covers 10 square miles (26 square km) and interconnects with four seperate power transmission lines across the region. The leases include surface and water rights.

The geology and regional fault structures at Black Warrior appear to permit deep circulating ground water to be heated by anomalously high rock formation temperatures and the project is estimated to produce 37 MW (90% probability) by GeothermEx Inc., California Energy Commission.

In 2009, NGP plans to continue exploration surveys to further define the resource and develop plans for drilling.

Black Warrior geothermal project highlights are:
  • Deepest test hole recorded a temperature of 262°F (128°C) at 1810 ft (552 m) with temperatures still increasing at the bottom of the hole
  • Gradients greater than 200°C/km have been recorded throughout the leased area
  • Commercial resource temperatures may occur within 3000 ft (1000 m) of the surface
  • The project is located within a prolific power producing region of Nevada
  • Estimated to produce 37 MW (90% probability); GeothermEx Inc., California Energy Commission 2005
