HISTORY OF CSRi

1987 Incorporated as Super Twin Resources (a junior mining venture)

2001 Began investigating CBM potential in western Canada

2002 CBM joint venture with Chevron Texaco, current management joined CSRI

2003 Joint venture dissolved, CSRi retained all rights to proprietary information, commenced land acquisition and resource confirmation

2004+ Evaluation of Farrell Creek potential

STRATEGY

Fourth year of a five year development plan Focus on unconventional gas resources

Specifically the coals, shales and tight sands of the Gething Formation at Farrell Creek, NE B.C.

Sproule Associates Limited (“Sproule”) estimates 1.8 tcf of discovered resource for the shallow Gething, Gates and Moosebar Formations

Additional deep rights are prospective Phased approach to testing and development

8 test wells drilled to date Pilot project with 4 test wells that have test flared 50 mmcf

Planned production by the end of 2007 with a 2 km tie-in to Duke transmission line

Full scale commercial development, downspacing and optimization

FARRELL CREEK

High working interest, operated land position 100% operated 39,506 gross acres, average 94% WI

Deep rights in 75% of lands, average 96% WI Independent estimate (Sproule) of 1.8 tcf of discovered resources

from the shallow horizons only 32 – 41 bcf per section from the Gething, Gates and Moosebar

Formations 1.4 tcf attributed to the Gething “Rock Package”

Coals: 13.1 – 16.4 bcf per section Shales: 10.9 – 17.6 bcf per section

0.4 tcf in the Gates and Moosebar Formations 7.1 – 8.5 bcf per section

Sproule did not estimate recovery factors and no proved or probable reserves were assigned

Long reserve life characteristic

FARRELL CREEK

Currently flow testing 4 well pilot program Gas rates: 50 – 250 mcf/d per well (>24 hr production test) Water rates: 10 – 60 bbl/d per well Cumulative test flaring of over 50 mmcf from 4 test wells

Trucking water to Fort St. John disposal facility Various completion techniques have been evaluated All wells were fracture mapped Six section Experimental Scheme approved by BC MEM/OGC Capital costs to date (excluding land) - $19 million Optimal spacing not yet determined

200 – 500 well locations (assuming 4 - 8 wells per section) Horizontal potential not yet determined

Expected productivity: 250+ mcf/d per well

Page 10: Unconventional Natural Gas A Compelling Case.  A Focused Vision. March 2007

OPERATIONAL PLANS 2007/8

Further optimization of drilling and completion techniques Determine optimal well spacing Evaluate directional and/or horizontal potential Continue to reduce capital costs per well

Proceed with Duke Energy tie-in

Maintain favorable relations with stakeholders

Anticipate gas flowing to market late this year

Evaluate deep targets for farmout or deep test

Additional vertical wells to delineate reservoir extent

ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL

Moosebar & Gates shales resource potential (Sproule) estimates: 0.4 tcf 7 – 8 bcf per section

Deeper zones Estimates of >175 bcf per section OGIP

Cadomin, Fernie, Nordegg, Halfway, Doig, Montney and Debolt Drilling on neighboring land for targets in the Bluesky, Halfway, Debolt

and other deeper targets

Horizontal drilling potential
