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
SPI
Resource Potential: Farrell Creek
Sproule Associates Limited Preliminary ReportApril 17, 2006:Contingent gas-in-place resource potential Gething coals 12 – 16 bcf per section Gething shales 11 – 17 bcf per section Gates & Moosebar shales7 – 8 bcf per section
SPI
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
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
SPI
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
