COV under way by Rayco Steel, Sparwood, BC • Target commissioning date Q1 2015 3 1/30/2015 CSE:RZX; : XFRA: RØX Oil Spills are a Fact! • 1.3 M gallons (4.9 M liters) of petroleum are spilled into U.S. waters from vessels and pipelines in a typical year (U.S. Department of Energy - 2000) – A major oil spill could easily double that amount. *Mar. 8, 2013 report indicated: $14 billion in clean-up costs for the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding coastline and $10 billion in compensation. Read more: http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/how-muchmore-will-the-deepwater-oil-spill-costbp.html/?a=viewall#ixzz33LUkoXEG – BP has spent $25 billion so far*. That includes money for claims the company has paid out in a growing multi-billiondollar settlement and cleanup and remediation. It doesn’t include another $4.5 billion in fines it owes the government over the next five years. BP has set aside as much as $42 billion for a total potential tab when all is said and done.

(X-Prize Challenge, 2011, Wendy Schmidt Foundation) • The COV’s unique and rugged design provides a stable platform for oil spill recovery under virtually any conditions, where conventional mechanical oil recovery systems quite often fail in anything more than calm waters. (competitors technology is limited - can’t operate in waves higher than 18 inches, the COV is designed to operate in up to 8 foot waves) 7 1/30/2015 CSE:RZX; : XFRA: RØX COV Built and Tested in 1990’s • COV was developed in 1990s, first COV 40ft prototype built in Sturgeon Bay, WI, and tested in Leonardo, NJ – Controlled and uncontrolled testing conducted to determine rates of oil recovered and recovery-throughput efficiencies are noted as “oil rate of recovery” (ORR) and “recovery efficiency” (RE) – The RE of the COV is in the 90-97% range which is significantly higher than traditional rates of RE recorded by industry over the past two decades or more, and when compared to more current information, the COV remains very competitive, within the top ten in terms of ORR and RE/TE – The ORR calculated in terms of gallons per minute (or similar currency calculations) remains within the top ten as compared to competitors, and could easily increase the ORR to obtain “top three” status, by increasing the surface area of the drums through design modifications without changing the effects of the physical principles inherent in the COV design – COV performs in rough sea conditions as high as 8 feet waves (vs 18 inches for competition) it significantly out-performs all of its competitors, and therefore stands in a class of its own. 8 1/30/2015 CSE:RZX; : XFRA: RØX COV Built and Tested in the 1990s 2 1 1. 40 Ft COV under test 2. 10 Ft COV under test 3.

(Note: P&I clubs in shipping) – Shipping ports / Marinas – as a result of the liability issues combined with concern for environment. – Ships – as an on-board vessel attached to a ship, for primary protection of the ship and benefits under Marine law for neighbouring shipping vessels. – Large scale disaster protection – as a result of pipelines at port, and oil drilling and production platforms.
