Banking Group Limited, to develop wind power projects in support of
federal and state government renewable energy legislation.

Under the agreement between Michelago and ANZ Infrastructure

research and governmental liaison and ANZIS fully expects that WPIT
will become a major equity investor in the wind power sector, both in
Australia and later overseas, Michelago's projects complement ANZIS's
interests in the Tungketta Hill and Sheringa wind farms in South
Australia that have the potential to deliver over 20OMW of green
energy into the national electricity market.

agreement is testimony to the effectiveness of the targeted and low
cost strategy to develop opportunities in the renewable sector
