Enron Metals is in the process of dealing with White Pine Copper Refinery in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. One of the options we are reviewing is returning a dormant generator to operation and selling the excess power. Natural gas is delivered to White Pine through an Enron pipeline. The generator can run on either natural gas or coal. Several years ago ('96 or '97), Enron contacted White Pine (previously owned by BHP Copper White Pine Refinery) on numerous occasions about running the powerhouse on gas and they would get the excess power to market. The idea at the time was they had excess natural gas and wanted White Pine to run the generators on gas. Would you know anything about this deal or who the originator was? If so, could you or the originator please contact me regarding the details. If not, could you please direct me to someone who may know about the original proposal? Regards, Bucky Dusek 44 20 7783 2328
