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 GEOLOGY
Average depth to top of Cadomin is 900m

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
10
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
11
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
