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. *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

fraction of the cost of current prices of oil, gas and “clean” coal.

or turned into products traditionally made with oil, will create fewer
