Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States
London, Ontario CANADA, April 09, 2010 /FSC/ - Tribute Resources Inc. (TRB - TSX Venture), ("Tribute"), a developer of renewable energy projects in Ontario, announced today it recently submitted a bid to the Parks Canada Agency for a six megawatt hydraulic generation project ("Project") at locks 24 and 25 on the Trent-Severn Waterway ("TSW"). If its bid is accepted, Tribute will enter into an equal 50/50 limited partnership with the Chippewas of Rama First Nation ("Rama") to develop the Project. A letter of intent has been executed by both Tribute and Rama. Upon receipt of a positive bid response from the Parks Canada Agency, the newly formed limited partnership will apply for a 40 year power purchase contract through the Ontario Power Authority's ("OPA") Feed-In-Tariff Program ("FIT") for both of the sites to inject their electrical output into the Hydro One Networks Inc. local distribution grid.
Tribute anticipates that if the Parks Canada Agency approves its bid, the limited partnership will commission detailed engineering studies in 2010 and will complete its environmental studies by 2011. The Project will work its way through the FIT production program and Ontario's Renewable Energy Approval ("REA") process prior to construction, which would commence in 2012 and be completed in time for a 2014 commercial operation date. The Chippewas of Rama will greatly assist in all aspects of Project development, including the planned Education Centre and species studies.
