SRA Stria Lithium Inc

Sierra Geothermal Power Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SRA) ("SGP") today provides an update
on the exploration drilling program at its 100% owned Silver Peak project.


Today, SGP commenced drilling of a core-slim-well at its Silver Peak project.
Well 38-11 is being drilled to a maximum depth of 2,133 metres or 7,000 feet and
targets multiple zones of high geologic interest. Well 38-11 will be the first
deep well test at Silver Peak. This well follows SGP's recent shallow
temperature gradient drilling and geophysical surveys. Well 38-11 is funded on a
50:50 cost share basis by the U.S. Department of Energy's Geothermal
Technologies Program grant which was awarded to SGP in 2009.


SGP has contracted Major Drilling Group International Inc. to drill the well
with an LF230 mounted core drill rig. Drilling is supervised by senior geologist
Mr. John Deymonaz. Core samples are being collected from the top of competent
bedrock to the bottom of the hole to provide geological information on
subsurface rock types, faults, and fractures. This information will be
integrated into SGP's 3D geologic model for Silver Peak. The primary objective
of the well is to test temperature and permeability in the subsurface. A
secondary objective is to compare core drilling rates to conventional and
coil-tube rig drilling rates.


"This a great step forward in the advancement of the Silver Peak project. Our
plan here is to drill a coil tube slim well next and, pending results, drill the
first production assessment well. If successful, we can then continue drilling
production wells to feasibility, execute a Power Purchase Agreement and secure
plant permits," said President and CEO Gary Thompson.


About Silver Peak

The Silver Peak geothermal power project is part of SGP's Paymaster district and
located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, 240 kilometres (150 miles) northwest of Las
Vegas, and covers 7,873 acres. GeothermEx's independent analysis estimates a
resource capacity of 15-40 MW of power. The Silver Peak property has two 55 kV
transmission lines connecting to the Nevada and California power grids and a
substation located on the lease itself. Many geothermal features are visible on
the property. The recent shallow drilling measured a maximum temperature of 88
degrees Celsius or 190 degrees Fahrenheit at a depth of 140 meters or 459 feet.
Chemical geothermometers that have been applied to the thermal waters suggest
that temperatures may reach 200-230 degrees Celsius (400-440 degrees Fahrenheit)
at depth.
