SPI Canadian Spirit Resources Inc

Canadian Spirit Resources Inc. (“CSRI” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:SPI) (OTCBB:CSPUF) announces the reactivation of natural gas production at Farrell Creek, Northeast British Columbia and the release of its unaudited interim financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) and management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”), each for the three month period ended September 30, 2023.

Reactivation Of Joint Venture Production At Farrell Creek

In June 2023, the Corporation and its joint venture partner opted to shut-in its Farrell Creek natural gas processing facility and associated Montney wells as a result of negative netback caused by low natural gas prices at Station 2. The Corporation’s joint venture Montney wells were returned to production on November 17, 2023. Based on the Corporation's net average production over 60 days prior to the suspension of its joint venture operations, a production rate of approximately 2.5 Mmcf/d is anticipated, with CSRI’s 35% share being approximately 0.87 Mmcf/d.

Review of Strategic Alternatives

The Corporation also announces that it has initiated a process to review strategic alternatives with a view to maximizing the value of the Corporation's Montney resource base at Farrell Creek and Altares. This may include, among other alternatives, the addition of capital to further develop the potential of the assets, the sale of the Corporation or a portion of the Corporation's assets, a merger, farm-in or joint venture, or other such options as may be determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. CSRI has engaged Sayers Energy Advisors to serve as financial advisor in the strategic alternatives review process.

The Corporation has not set a definitive schedule to complete its strategic alternatives review evaluation and no decision on any particular alternative has been reached at this time. CSRI does not intend to disclose developments with respect to this process unless and until the Board has approved a definitive transaction agreement or other course of action or otherwise deems disclosure of developments is appropriate or otherwise required by applicable securities laws or the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange. There are no guarantees that the process will result in a transaction of any form or, if a transaction is entered into, as to its terms or timing.
