Example of a PowerPoint Presentation I did for a local energy company.

1. Laurus Energy, Inc.
Our Vision
To build one of the largest and
most profitable energy companies in
North America

2. ✽ What is the current state of play?
 The importation of high cost oil is threatening North America‟s economy
and is the cause of dependence of volatile oil producing nations
 Despite a great deal of rhetoric, no meaningful or economical way to
clean the air has been discovered
 Huge government subsidies towards renewables and bio technologies has
no chance of making even a dent in either of these problems facing North
America
 The cheap energy we have relied on for decades...traditional coal is
being phased out and is not permittable....with no substitute in place

3. ✽ The Solution
o North America is the largest energy market in the world and sits on an enormous,
indigenous coal resource that the incumbent industry cannot access
o Laurus has the technology that will unlock this resource at a fraction of the cost of
current prices of oil, gas and “clean” coal
o With such low production cost, subsequent products are much less expensive
than all other alternatives
o Gas created using this technology, when burned in power plants or turned into
products traditionally made with oil, will create fewer emissions than even
natural gas

4. ✽ An Abundant Resource
North America is the largest energy market in the world and sits on an enormous,
indigenous coal resource that the incumbent industry cannot access
 Over 2 trillion tonnes of unmineable coal
in North America (6.6 Trillion BOE)
 400 years of total US energy consumption (liquid, gas,
nuclear, etc.)
 Without this technology the coal has no
economic use
 Easy and inexpensive to acquire
 Reserves are important for energy
company valuations

6. * A Wealth of Markets
With such low production cost, subsequent products are much
less expensive than all other alternatives
Diesel
Jet Fuel
Kerosene
Gasoline
Synthetic Natural Gas
Fertilizers
Films/Coatings
Plastics

7. * Low Emissions
Gas created using this technology, when burned in power plants or turned
into products traditionally made with oil, will create fewer emissions than
even natural gas
 Extracting the benefits of
Power Plant Emissions Comparison
abundant coal, minimizing
environmental impacts
 Emissions substantially reduced
over any existing coal
technologies
 Cleaner or comparable to
natural gas emissions
 CO2 removal cheaper, more
efficient, and ideal for
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

8. ✽ Underground Coal Gasification
 Underground coal gasification
(UCG) is a process that generates
a low btu gas called syngas
 Syngas is not „synthetic gas‟ or
„synthetic natural gas‟
 Syngas is comprised mainly of
hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide
(CO), methane (CH4), carbon
dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen (N2).
 It is produced from coal that is
unusable by any other known
technology

9. ✽ Solving Alaska‟s Natural Gas Crisis
Stranded Markets
• Natural gas supply is insufficient for
o Power generation
o Retail distribution
• Ammonia / Urea Market
o Idle fertilizer facility – 25-55 BCF per year
• LNG for Export
o LNG terminal 50% idle – 75 BCF per year
• Native Alaskan partner – owner of
coal, project participant
• Next steps
o Finalize site selection
o Commence site characterization
o Arrange for off-takers
o Permitting

10. ✽ Alberta:
Showcase for εUCG in North America
✽ Laurus leases over 2.2 Billion metric tons of coal in Alberta
✽ Permits have been received tor calibration burn
✽ Calibration burn can commence within six months
✽ Supportive local stakeholders
• Letters of support from county, resident organization, and
environmentalists
✽ Next Steps
• Calibration burn Q1 2012 – Q4 2012
• Establish off-take agreements
• Evaluate partnering opportunities

11. ✽ Financial
Impacts
 [Content TBD – Need to decide on scope of
projects for AB and AK and how many others
at what size and terms and timing]
 [Format: Show cash flow build up?]
 [Show timeline?]

* Laurus volumes have not been evaluated under the test of proved reserves at this time; they are based on a conversion of
estimated coal volumes under lease

13. ✽ Path forward
 Acquire coal now
 Focus on breakthrough projects
 Create the workforce to execute
 Permitting and acceptance … through education and
involvement with regulators, community and
environmentalists
 Gain wholesale acceptance of the technical, industrial
and financial communities
