Item 5. Other Events.
McKenzie Bay International, Ltd. (the "Company") issued a press release, dated
July 20, 2004 entitled-"WindStor Studies for Dearborn Installations".
The press release is in its entirety below:
WindStor Studies for Dearborn Installations
Tuesday July 20, 6:22 am ET
DEARBORN, MI, July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - McKenzie Bay International Ltd.
(OTC:MKBY.PK - News) has signed an Agreement with the City of Dearborn, Michigan
to perform data collection for WindStor(SM) configurations at various city owned
facilities, each with one or more rooftop or surface mounted DERMOND Wind
Turbines "DWT(SM)".
McKenzie Bay intends to sell onsite generated electricity to
Dearborn at fixed rates under long-term supply arrangements through its WindStor
Power Co. subsidiary. WindStor, using wind energy from DWTs, could reduce
existing electricity costs by as much as 10% per facility while minimizing the
impact of future rate increases for grid-supplied electricity. McKenzie Bay
expects to have collected adequate wind information before the end of the year
to confirm installation economics for the Dearborn locations.
The Dearborn Agreement originated through McKenzie Bay's agent, MTI Lighting
Specialists, Inc. of Brighton, Michigan.
