The Company’s foundational asset is located in Theneuille, France. The Source has been well known for its intrinsic qualities and health benefits dating back to the 3rd Century. Poseidis is developing a production and bottling facility at the Source which will be highly automated and operationally flexible with a high production capacity. The processing and bottling of the water to be captured at the La Trolière facility is divided into various main steps:

• Initial capture at the Source - La Trolière is an artesian source and the water is pumped at a depth of approximately 182 meters then transferred to the storage location by a system of pipes.

• From the point of capture, stainless steel pipes take the water to the conditioning plant where the water is first degasified, and the extracted gas is stored temporarily for subsequent addition to the water after deferritization. Deferritization is a filtering process to reduce the iron content of the water using a fine-grade silica sand. No chemical or artificial treatment is used for deferritization.

• After deferritization, the mineral water will be stored before bottling in double-wall vats, each containing 70,000 liters. The water is then transferred to the re-gasification and bottling zone via stainless steel pipes. When the water is ready for bottling, it is moved to the carbonator equipment where it is re-gasified with its own gas (extracted as soon as it leaves the pump) without any external additions being made.

• The re-gasified water is then moved to the bottling room which is isolated from the outside world and air conditioned (filtered air) to avoid all possible contamination during bottle filling. These operations consist of filling the bottle with re-gasified water, capping it, labeling it, assigning it with a batch number, year and time of bottling, and entering the "best before date" (BBD).

• The bottles are then moved to the packing and shipping area where the bundling machine groups the various forms into packs of 4, 6, or 8 bottles, wrapping them in printed film. A handle is then applied automatically on the line and finally, the packs are transferred to the pallet-filling area where they are palletized for shipment.

• Poseidis will maintain a laboratory to maintain a constant control on the quality of the water. In order to maintain its certification by the French authorities as well as to guarantee a superior quality product, the laboratory has to process daily chemical and bacteriological analyses on the entire production chain.
