Overview

Unconventional natural gas: One of the fastest-growing sectors of North America's energy industry

Canadian Spirit Resources: Focused on developing 1.0 tcf of unconventional natural gas from coal (NGC)

A huge resource play: Farrell Creek, northeast British Columbia, 40,000 + acres, 94% (average) owned by CSRI, 80% of land includes deep rights, $30 million invested to date

SPI

Current Status

Seven test holes drilled and cased

Two holes fracture-stimulated in the Gething Formation

Both holes producing natural gas and water

Dedicated a test hole to evaluate gas-bearing shales

Natural Gas from Coal (NGC)

U.S. 10 years ahead of Canada

Industry in Western Canada growing rapidly

Production of unconventional gas similar to production of conventional gas

Typically, to economically produce natural gas from coal, formation water must be removed first

Page 9: A Compelling Case. A Clear Vision. August 2006 Unconventional Natural Gas SPI.

SPI

A Compelling Case

NGC compared to conventional gas

Coal can store up to 6 or 7 times more gas

NGC well can have 3 times the life

NGC recovery factors can be as high as 80%

SPI

A Clear Vision

CSRI focused on unconventional gas, including NGC

2002 regional NGC assessment of WCSB

Five-year plan: explore for and develop 1.0 tcf of NGC within five years in an environmentally safe and responsible manner
