1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

The project for energy generation "Energía Limpia Treinta y Tres" (ELTT) consists in the installation, running and operation of an electric energy generating power station based on forest biomass. The project follows regulations from Law Number 16.832 and decrees, particularly the regulation from the Electric Energy Wholesale Market (Decree Number 360/002). The plant will be connected to a UTE electrical network and through it will inject the energy generated to the national electrical system.

2 - COMBUSTIBLE TO BE USED

The plant is designed to work based on forest biomass. The main combustible to be used will be forest waste produced during harvest in the forest. This waste at present is a byproduct of the forest cycle, it is not used and is abandoned in the forest. For technical and economical reasons it is very important that the station works continuously. For that reason and due to harvest time in waste availability, variations in its humidity and climatic factors, many times there is not enough volume of waste to feed the boiler, it is necessary to use an alternative combustible. In this situation chips will be used, obtained from wood from forest enterprises developed in the area.

3 - ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

The Project is based on the Mechanism for a Clean Development (Mecanismo para un Desarrollo Limpio) (MDL) included in Kyoto´s registry. MDL projects reduce harmful emissions and their objective is to promote sustainable development in the country where they are developed. The present ELTT Project has additional benefits from the use of forest waste present in the place of the harvest. Combustible It is estimated that among the branches, foliage and roots, 40% of the tree remains in the forest. That causes the following damage:

• Risk of fire for spontaneous combustion (accidents have happened for this reason).
• As a product of biological decomposition gasses are produced which pollute the air and produce bad smell.
• Among gasses methane is mainly produced, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climatic change.
• Presence of vectors (insects, rodents, birds, etc) which can produce harmful effects on population's health.
• Pollution of superficial water and underground water by percolated liquids (liquids from the transformation process of pieces of wood and vegetal waste).
• Waste from forest exploitation abandoned in the area prevents the formation of a herbaceous carpet diminishing risk of erosion (unlike what happens with agricultural waste left in the country acting as protection against soil erosion).

Ashes The use of forest biomass –waste, chips, rolls, pellets, etc.- has other advantages compared to other combustibles of vegetal origin like for instance rice hulls:

• The combustion process is cleaner. Smoke from the chimney is clear and generally can not be seen easily.
• The percentage of ashes is only 2% against 17% of rice hulls. In two plants with a similar power (12MW), the plant working with rice hulls produces 50 tons of ashes daily and the forest biomass plant 4 tons.
• Ash from rice hulls has 94% of silica while in forest ash that component is inconsiderable.
• Forest ashes can be used as additive to improve soil. Laboratory assays indicate that ashes from trees diminish the level of acidity and raise the level of some soil nutrients. As a consequence of this effect, the level of nutrients in cultivation is improved and production is considerably boosted.

Effluents Energy generation based on a vapor cycle fed with forest biomass, as it is the case of this Project, does not produce polluting effluents. Most of the water used in the generation process is returned to the environment as steam produced in the cooling towers.

4 - FORMAL ASPECTS

As previously mentioned, the Project follows regulations from law Number 16.832 and its decrees. On the other hand, the running of the plant requires previous authorization processing before the following:

• Town Hall
• The Executive
• ADME
• URSEA
• UTE
• DINAMA
• DINARA

That guarantees the station will follow legal requirements for this kind of industrial activity.

5 - CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PROJECT TO NATIONAL OBJECTIVES

The ELTT Project will contribute to achieve many objectives of national interest:

• a) Environmentally, the following aspects stand out:
• b) Contribution to eliminate problems caused by forest waste abandoned in the forest (this has already been mentioned).
• c) Replacement of electricity generated from fossil combustible –with associated pollution problems- through clean electricity generated through renewable resources.
• d) Contribution to the mitigation of climatic change and generating carbon credits will provide the necessary funds for the project feasibility.
• e) Contribution to the mitigation of climatic change and generating carbon credits will provide the necessary funds for the project feasibility.
• f) Introducing a new supplier for the national electrical market through the generation of electricity from biomass with 100% renewable origin.

6 - BACKGROUND IN SIMILAR WORKS

Gold – Zapucay

Introduction

DIALECA S.A. Is the owner of more than 5,000 hectares of mining property in the department of Rivera, Uruguay. Inside said mining property is a deposit of gold in quartz veins. The outcropping structure shows white quartz, sacaroid, with levels limonotizados, generating reddish colors, presence of masses of pyrite and visible gold.

On the surface, the best laws range from 2.5 gr / ton to 13 gr / ton. The previous perforations intercept high values of gold laws, but their location and structural interpretation, was not the most effective, reason why is left open any possibility of exploration in the area

Geology

The study area is located in the Department of Rivera, within the so-called Crystal Island of Rivera, which is characterized by granite facies consisting of granite-gneisses with garnet, grainy granulites, quartz-monzonite gneisses, leucogranitic gneisses, formations (BIFs), pyroxene fels with magnetite and metapiroxenites, and a volcano-sedimentary sequence of cover, which appears composed of sandstones, pellets and limestones, associated with pyroclastic rocks.

The box rock of this gold deposit consists of a gneiss with eyes of potassium feldspar, followed by a greenish-colored mafic rock, composed of pyroxenes and alkaline. Within the gneiss milonitized levels occur with presence of quartz, pyrite and gold, fundamentally. These levels correspond to shear zones, affected by normal faults, which causes displacements of the mineralizations. The colorations of mineralized quartz range from white to intense red, due to limonitic alteration of the pyrite and it is common to find visible gold in this type of samples.

HISTORY OF EXPLORATION

According to historical records, there was artisanal activity in the area, especially in the mines of Laureles. The proximity to these tasks indicates that the excavation that is in the place is of those years. As for established mining companies in the zone, the explorations were very scarce, or at least there is not much public data.
