DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

The corporate information contained in this presentation contains forward-looking forecast information. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonably accurate by Canadian Spirit Resources Inc. (CSRI) at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. The actual results achieved during the forecast period will vary from the information provided herein and the variations may be material. Consequently, there is no representation by CSRI that actual results achieved during the forecast period will be the same in whole or in part as those forecast.

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

Page 4: Unconventional Natural Gas

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

Next Steps

Measure production rates Develop pilot plan to drill

and complete more test holes

Focus on engineering, operational and marketing aspects of developing a commercial project

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: Unconventional Natural Gas

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

A Clear Vision (cont’d)

Within four years: Identified several large

resource plays Assembled high working

interest land position in northeast B.C.

Began evaluating productive capability of principal resource property
