The article also discusses Borealis' next steps, stating:
"Now that the company has its permits in hand, Borealis CEO Alison Thompson said she expected drilling to begin "within days." The first phase of the project would not actually be geothermal energy production, but a hotsprings that the Valemount Geothermal Society hopes to develop."

MOVING MOUNTAINS

5/30/2018

 
When we started Borealis GeoPower, we started more than a company, we started an entire industry. Through our efforts, we have been able to lay down the foundation for more geothermal startups to emerge throughout Canada. Our journey so far has been about the manifestation of a grand idea into reality, the idea of establishing the very first geothermal power plant in Canada. When we received the first geothermal resource well authorization in BC, we became one step closer to that reality.

Alexander Richter highlights this historical milestone in his article entitled "First geothermal resource well authorization issued in British Columbia, Canada"  on ThinkGeoEnergy. The article includes a quote from Borealis CEO & president, Alison Thompson:
“We not only drill into mountains, but by working together, we also move them, and Borealis is deeply committed to our team and host community.”
