 that project approval has been secured “by all necessary parties and entities, including government entities”. As a result, Proved reserves have not been assigned in this report. However, acquisition of the requisite CUPs by Monterey County the approval of the Company’s UIC (water disposal) application, and receipt of drilling permits by CalGEM is considered a reasonable expectation for the following reasons:

● Almost all of the Company’s South Salinas leasehold is on the Porter Ranch, an active working property that supports farming operations, livestock grazing, and the exploitation of oil and gas reserves, as well as the preservation of open space that preserves natural habitat. There is partly overlapping ownership in Bradley Minerals (the Lessor) and in Porter Ranch (the surface owner) and the interests and objectives of the two entities are closely aligned.

● The South Salinas operator, Trio Petroleum LLC, has demonstrated an ability to work with state and county officials to develop and produce oil fields in proximity to South Salinas.

● Infrastructure at the South Salinas Project includes seven existing wells, six expansive well pads, and three idle Aera Energy oil and gas pipelines. Expansive well pads are important because they can accommodate significant project development without additional disturbance of the surface. This is expected to help expedite the approval of requisite permits.”
