''Jatropha yields 435 gallons per acre. Without an agricultural method to farm, this product is

Difficult to produce but has lasting benefits. Currently, Texas A&M is studying this feed for

better utilization. The Jatropha plant is resistant to drought and can be planted in desert

climates thriving on practically any soil. As this is much like a weed, animal stock will not eat

it; another benefit.''

''In California, SG Biofuels announced the launch of JMax 100, billed as the “world’s first elite

jatropha cultivar”, optimized for production in Guatemala with yields, based on trialing of the

cultivar on several thousand acres, of 350 gallons per acre and a production cost of $1.39 per

gallon for jatropha oil.''

''You can get 2.5 tons of Castor seeds in first and second year and 2.5 tons of Jatropha seed from

third to fifth year. You can get higher yields after 5 years. Jatropha will yield seeds for 40 to

50 years.''

Sep 2008 Shareholders Letter PR -

''Over the last year we have acquired land for farming Jatropha, and commenced commercial scale

Jatropha planting in Mexico. Today we are the owners of a 5,000 acre Jatropha energy farm in Mexico

where we are busy preparing land and planting Jatropha almost every day. We have recently received

delivery of custom designed equipment which will allow us to expedite the land preparation and

planting process.''

6. ''We completed planting of our 5,150 acre Jatropha farm in Mexico. We have planted almost 4

million Jatropha trees.''

NOW -

There's a very good possibility by the end of 08 they had a third of the 5000 acres in the ground

and growing, not to mention the grown trees in Belize; If a one-third of the 5000 acres is coming into it's third year in the ground at end of 2010 we may see oil revs next Spring because they stated they’ve implemented a oil extraction system on 4-13 so they're gearing up to obtain and sell jatropha oil.

At a conservative 260 gallons per acre times 2000 acres that = 1.25 million gallons. I assume the drums are 50 gallon barrels, so 50 divided by 1.25 = 25000 * $43 a barrel 1,075,000.

Of course this will have to minus overhead, However, between 3-5 years the trees max out going into full production... mind you this is a conservative low yield estimate of only a third the 5000 acre plantation which has now grown to over 8000 plus 400 in Belize. Compute that in full production by 2012-13... Plus I think I've read these trees can produce and be harvested 3-4 per year.

Plus consulting fees and sapling sales come into play.

corrections welcome

All FWIW...
