  • 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

4
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

5
Resource Potential Farrell Creek
  • Sproule Associates Limited Preliminary Report
  • April 17, 2006
  • Contingent gas-in-place resource potential
  • Gething coals 12 16 bcf per section
  • Gething shales 11 17 bcf per section
  • Gates Moosebar shales 7 8 bcf per section

6
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

7
Fast Facts
(As at June 5, 2006) ( Cdn)
  • Shares outstanding 28.8 million
  • Recent share price 2.25
  • Market cap 65 million
  • Land 62 sections (42,000 gross acres)
  • Contingent resource
  • Gething coals 12 16 bcf/section
  • Gething shales 11 17 bcf/section
  • Total contingent resource 1.4 2.0 tcf
  • Estimated recovery rate 60
  • Market cap / recoverable mcf 0.06 per mcf
  • Largest shareholder Sprott Asset Management
    (18.8)
  • (Sproule Associates, Apr 17/06, Gething
    Formation only, Farrell Creek, B.C.)

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

9
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

10
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

11
A Clear Vision (contd)
  • 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

18
Farrell Creek 2006 Plan of Activities
  • License 2 4 additional locations for summer
    drilling program
  • Prepare and submit Feasibility Plan for
    provincial government approval
  • Raise funds for pilot phase of production
  • Drill, complete and test up to 4 additional wells
  • Initiate application to tie-in to Duke Energy
    pipeline

19
2006 Capital Program
( million Cdn)
  • First Half (approved) 3.6
  • Second Half (estimated) 9.0
  • 12.6
  • G A expense 1.4
