AER has greatly reduced its overhead, project carrying costs and long term liabilities while increasing its cash position through the sale of project assets. As at December 31, 2014, the company’s assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents of US$2.2 million.
Alternative Earth Resources has sold or optioned three of its four geothermal development projects in the U.S. for cash, thereby reducing project carrying costs to zero. At the Pumpernickel project, which was not included in the sale, AER has terminated its private leases and kept its two BLM leases.
