in Contract Dispute with Elk Valley Coal Partnership
Canadian Pacific Railway

The claim is in respect of the defendant's failure to pay the full amount of rail freight charges,
which are applicable pursuant to a transportation contract between CPR and Elk Valley Coal
Partnership. The dispute relates to the shipment of coal from the defendant's Elk Valley mines in
southeastern British Columbia to Vancouver area ports for overseas export. CPR's statement of claim
is for $14.18 million to the end of June.
CPR's contract with Elk Valley Coal Partnership continues through to 31 Mar 2007. The
dispute is not expected to affect the continued shipment of coal by CPR from the Elk Valley mines.
