Hyperscaler / Frontier-AI Site-Alignment Scorecard

Ten criteria used to evaluate whether a site can support frontier-scale compute at speed. Scores are self-assessed and for directional purposes only. Full methodology and supporting documentation available under NDA.

9.5

/ 10

Composite Alignment

Criteria 1–9 fully met

Private deeded land — no BLM/NEPA/EIS expected on Phase 1 fee-simple footprint.

July 4, 2026 ITC physical-work safe harbor achievable on private land.

2.1–2.9 GWac combined private-only solar + BESS envelope across two independent grid paths.

Sub-20 ms latency to Silicon Valley via OPGW + Zayo I-80 diversity.

~4,400+ AF/yr senior Nevada water rights (verified 2025 appraisals).

Up to 50% ITC stack (30% base + 10% Energy Community + 10% Domestic Content).

Behind-the-meter power economics — no 4+ year interconnection queue.

Direct to landowner. Clean title. 40+ year operating history. No brokers.

~950,000 acres adjacent BLM grazing under family management — scalable expansion.

50–100 MW conceptual firm geothermal (stage-gated, pre-drilling). — 0.5 contribution

Criterion 10 reflects a conceptual, pre-drilling geothermal layer on the Battle Mountain–Eureka trend. Full stage-gated program (geophysics → slim-hole → exploration wells) and resource reports available in the confidential data room.

WHY HYPERSCALERS AND FRONTIER AI OPERATORS LOOK HERE

Speed. Optionality. Certainty.

PILLAR 01 — SPEED

Construction-ready on private land before July 4, 2026.

No BLM. No NEPA. No EIS. County Special Use Permit only for the Phase 1 fee-simple footprint. Among the very few U.S. platforms positioned to commence meaningful physical work in pursuit of ITC safe-harbor treatment on this timeline.

Every week past the deadline narrows the runway for federal-land projects.

PILLAR 02 — STRATEGIC POSITION

Critical minerals + 950,000 acres of expansion optionality.

Clear Creek sits on the eastern margin of the Battle Mountain–Eureka Trend. Butte Valley borders the Freeport-McMoRan Cu porphyry prospect and lies ~8 mi from NevGold’s Limousine Butte (Au + antimony). ~950,000 acres of adjacent BLM grazing under family management provides a cold-start-free expansion pathway.

Mineral matters subject to title, survey, and qualified-person evaluation. No representation of deposit grade or value.

PILLAR 03 — REDUCED FEDERAL EXPOSURE

Every failure mode that stops federal-land projects is pre-eliminated.

17,571 acres of fee-simple ownership across four Nevada counties. Senior water rights at both sites. Direct single-counterparty ownership with clean title. The same 14-parcel Clear Creek footprint that anchors solar also anchors the conceptual geothermal layer under NRS 534A private-surface rules.

TWO INDEPENDENT GRID PATHWAYS

The Land

17,571 contiguous deeded acres. 100% fee-simple. Zero BLM permitting expected on either Phase 1 footprint.

Distances independently cross-checked against federal transmission datasets

May 27, 2026 — Butte Valley Field Validation

13.5-hour ground traverse (213 GPS-tagged captures, 46 stops) documented multi-modal infrastructure adjacency in real time: Gonder-area substation complex with active expansion, western corridor transmission convergence (ON Line 500 kV + parallel circuits), GN-RU distribution line, active rail spur at the southern Robinson Mine perimeter, and substantial undeveloped natural water features across the basin. This is not a desktop thesis — it is walked, photographed, and coordinate-verified ground truth.

POWER + DATA + WATER CONVERGENCE

Fiber-ready data center campus on private land.

OPGW on the 345 kV gen-tie

Power and data on the same conductor. Sub-20 ms latency to Silicon Valley, Sacramento, and Western cloud hubs. Carrier diversity via Zayo $66M I-80 backbone (400G DEAN architecture) plus Lumen on the same corridor.

Butte Valley BEAD Middle Mile (new 2026)

OSIT $43.5M Phase III BEAD deployment on US-93 borders the ranch — 431 miles of middle-mile fiber, deployment mid-2026. Gives Butte Valley its own independent low-latency path in addition to the Clear Creek OPGW story.

~4,400+ AF/yr senior water across both sites

~1,470+ AF/yr Clear Creek (19 NV rights + recorded CFS stream/well rights) + ~2,960 AF/yr Butte Valley (30 NV rights), per the 2025 Western AgCredit appraisals. Surplus capacity for evaporative cooling + ranch operations. Final volumes and vesting subject to NDWR confirmation.

Private land advantage: buried fiber laterals on deeded parcels require only county permits (3–6 months estimated).

FIRM 24/7 UPSIDE ON THE SAME FOOTPRINT

Conceptual Geothermal Layer

Clear Creek sits on the eastern margin of the USGS-verified Battle Mountain–Eureka trend — one of the most productive geothermal corridors in the continental United States. The identical 14 parcels, 345 kV Tracy–Valmy gen-tie, and NRS 534A private-surface regime that make it exceptional for solar also anchor a potential firm baseload layer.

Key Analog & Context

• Jersey Valley (Ormat, Pershing County) — same structural setting, same NRS 534A framework, operating since 2010 at similar temperatures.

• Regional heat flow >100 mW/m². Leach Hot Springs 163–173°C validated by USGS.

• 24/7 firm geothermal commands a documented premium over intermittent solar in hyperscaler offtake and financing markets.

Publicly reported hyperscaler × geothermal transactions (Google × Ormat, Meta × Sage, Fervo Cape Station, Microsoft × G42) provide market context only. Helios X is not a party to and has no affiliation with any listed transaction.

TAX INCENTIVE STRUCTURE

Up to 50% ITC + July 4, 2026 Safe Harbor

IRA credit stacking on a 2.1–2.9 GWac private-land platform. Physical-work test on fee-simple parcels locks portfolio-wide safe harbor protection that can extend across subsequent phases.

30%

Base ITC (§48 / §48E)

Prevailing wage + apprenticeship requirements apply.

+10%

Energy Community Adder

Both Pershing and White Pine counties DOE/NETL-certified. Applies independently to each site.

+10%

Domestic Content Adder

Achievable via standard solar + BESS supply chain at economic price. Subject to guidance.

The July 4, 2026 physical-work test on the southern Clear Creek deeded parcel is intended to establish safe-harbor protection for the entire platform under IRS Notice 2018-59 and subsequent guidance. Full structuring memo and mobilization budget available under NDA.
