          -    Surface mined for $5/ton vs. $35/ton for expensive underground
               mining
          -    Lower polluting
          -    Require retrofit technology to burn in plants designed for
               Eastern coal

New Power Plants:
-----------------
  20 to 80 new coal-fired power plants moving forward


SLIDE 18
                       Regulatory Market Drivers: Federal

o    Clean Air Mercury Rule announced March 2005
     -    Stimulated more aggressive State regulations
     -    Currently being litigated for failure to meet court-mandated standards
          for mercury control
     -    Our experts do not expect it to hold up in the courts
     -    Will probably end up remanded to EPA resulting with a MACT standard to
          be met by 2010- 2012
o    Bills are being considered in the US Senate that include national
     regulations on mercury

                                  Refined Coal

o    American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 creates tax credit of $5.60/ton for
     "refined coal"
     -    "Refined" if 20% reduction in NOx and 20% reduction in SO2 or Mercury
o    Tax credits begin in 2009 and run for ten years

     implementation of Refined Coal:
     -    managing and marketing coal-based tax credits
     -    support of Washington D.C.-based legal and legislative connections
     -    monitizers for tax credits
o    JV terms:
     -    ADA-ES licensing technology, equipment, and engineering exclusively to
          the JV at commercial rates
     -    JV will likely monetize tax credits generated from future sales of
          Refined Coal
     -    NexGen will pay 50% of future development costs
     -    NexGen will receive 50% of any JV profits


SLIDE 23
                       Status of ADA Refined Coal Product

                      Opportunities from Vertical Expansion

o    Existing US AC market for water treatment: $250 mm/yr
o    Potential AC market for mercury control: $1-2 billion/yr
o    This will have a significant impact on worldwide AC pricing
o    NORIT agreement provides for commission on sorbent sales
o    Potential vertical integration in AC production should enable greater
     margins
     -    >30-40% margins are possible for this market
     -    Take advantage of jointly developed intellectual property such as
          ADAESORB
     -    Evaluated various options; aggressively moving forward
     -    Will require raising capital to leverage growth potential


SLIDE 29

Capital Needs for Growth Plan

o    Continue to fund technology development through support from partners,
     utilities, and the government
o    Vertical expansion could require significant CapEx
o    Funding would provided through a mix of sources:
     -    Strategic partners
     -    Debt
     -    Equity
