(“CSRI” or the “Company”) (TSXVENTURE:SPI) (OTCBB:CSPUF) announces its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “NCIB”) through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to Exchange Policy 5.6. The NCIB, which is subject to Exchange acceptance, would consist of the acquisition by CSRI of up to 2,500,000 common shares of its capital stock, representing 4.6 percent of the 54,135,901 common shares of CSRI issued and outstanding. Purchases may commence three trading days following filing of a notice and supporting documents in final form with the Exchange.

Share purchases under the NCIB will be made at management’s discretion based on market conditions. During the period December 2008 through November 2009, the Company purchased 974,500 common shares at an average price of $0.73 per share pursuant to a prior NCIB These purchases represented 2.0 percent of the total number of common shares outstanding at the commencement of the prior NCIB.
