CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Oct. 19, 2012) - Canadian Spirit Resources Inc. ("CSRI" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:SPI) (OTCBB:CSPUF) announces that it has successfully fracked and flow-tested the previously drilled vertical well located at 12-7-83-24W6 in the Farrell Creek area of northeastern British Columbia. The drilling of this well enabled the Corporation to retain seven sections of land for an additional term of five years. The well was fracture stimulated in the upper, middle and lower zones in the Montney Formation. Although there was no evidence of free condensate being produced, the prospectivity of natural gas in all three zones was confirmed. In addition, data from the production test (flow rates and gas analyses) allows the Corporation to optimize the placement of the lateral leg in its new horizontal well to be located at 1-25-83-25W6. It is anticipated that this well will be spud later in the fourth quarter of this year.
