MCW's initial extraction plant was officially unveiled on October 1st, 2014 in Vernal, Utah, where the plant's extraction capabilities were successfully demonstrated to a large group of investors, government officials and media. During the months of October and November, MCW had all the permits in place for a limited demonstration testing mode production stage up to 50 bbl/day. The next phase is to move the plant into a commercial production mode which will have an anticipated capacity of 250 bbl/day.

These permits from Utah will authorize the plant's operation up to an anticipated production capacity of 250 bbl/day.

These improvements include the installation of process lines and vessel heat tracing/insulation.

Subsequent to MCW's successful demonstration of its proprietary extraction technology in October, the Company has been contacted by several companies interested in potential joint venture opportunities in their respective oil sands deposits in China, Asia, Dominican Republic and the Middle East. MCW is continuing its funding discussions in order to finance a 5,000 bbl/day extraction unit, which will be designed, fabricated and installed either on its own Asphalt Ridge, Utah lease or on the nearby Temple Mountain Energy lease site, which is the source of MCW's feedstock supply.
