Grenzach-Wyhlen, Germany - In July, BAUER Resources GmbH was awarded a
contract for the remediation of perimeter 1/3 NW of the former Kesslergrube
landfill. The project will be executed by BAUER Umwelt GmbH, a subsidiary
of BAUER Resources GmbH that specializes in site remediation. Worth over
one hundred million euro, this is the BAUER Group's largest single contract
to date.

The Kesslergrube former landfill in Grenzach-Wyhlen, a city situated at the
border triangle of Germany, France, Switzerland, was used as a landfill
site from the mid-1950s until 1976 and still contains residential waste and
construction rubble as well as industrial and chemical waste. Roche Pharma
AG, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and a former user
of the landfill site, is the client of the project and is aiming for a
sustainable and comprehensive remediation of the former site.

Roche Pharma AG selected Bauer as the general contractor for the
remediation of perimeter 1/3 NW of the Kesslergrube landfill. BAUER Umwelt
GmbH, as the executing company, will be responsible for tasks such as site
mobilization and operations, all civil engineering activities as well as
the excavation, removal and thermal disposal of the soil. The company will
also refill the excavated pit.

The concept submitted by Bauer was chosen by the customer because it will
play a crucial role in reducing the total duration of the remediation
project by one year. This is an important step in minimizing burdens for
all residents, neighbors and the Grenzach-Wyhlen community.

Site mobilization and operations will begin in August 2015. Services will
include raster sampling of the construction site, sampling and declaration
analysis of excavated batches, protection of property, maintenance of
thoroughfares, health protection and occupational safety measures for
employees, multi-stage noise protection measures, hydraulic protection and
groundwater control in the pit area as well as measures to keep the pit dry
during the excavation phase. Bauer will also construct and operate the
temporary pier that will serve as a handling plant on the Rhine for
