Board currently consists of six directors. The Company&rsquo;s Articles of Incorporation provide for the division of the Company&rsquo;s
Board into three classes as equal in number as the total number of members of the Board provided in the Bylaws permits. The Company&rsquo;s
Bylaws limit service of the independent directors to two three year terms. If recommended by the Chairman of the Board and approved
by the Board, an independent director may serve one additional term. Directors are subject to mandatory retirement at 70 years
of age. If a director reaches the age of 70 during his regularly elected term, he is allowed to serve out the term for which he
was elected. In a meeting of the Board of Directors on December 10, 2015, the Board waived the two term limit and the age limit

various risks in its business, including liquidity and operational risks. Liquidity risk is encountered in the context of balancing
contractual commitments to spend capital, and also is involved in the Company&rsquo;s hedging commitments for oil and gas price
protection. Any change in our hedging strategy will require the approval of the Board.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">General business
operations are managed by our executive officer, who reports to the Board as needed on developments in approved areas. Operations
are run in conformity with the annual budget presented by management and approved, with appropriate modifications as needed throughout
the year, by the Board. However, material budget variations (for example, a proposed acquisition or disposition of a significant
property or an entry into a significant joint venture) are subject to prior approval by the Board, even if the category and fund
allocation generally had been previously approved by the Board. In these situations, the Chairman will call a Board meeting to
discuss specific terms, costs and variables, and associated risks, before committing the Company. We believe this process provides
the Board with a continuing and key role in risk oversight.</P>

the ESOP Plan, which was established to make annual contributions toward employee retirement. During 2015 and 2014, all officers
received an annual contribution to their ESOP Plan accounts of 10% of the executive&rsquo;s plan year compensation in common stock
of the Company, up to an annual salary limitation of $265,000 for 2015. In addition to the 10% ESOP Plan contribution, the officers
received certain unallocated shares from terminated employees pursuant to the terms of the ESOP Plan. Each executive officer also
participated in the 401(k) plan and each received a $4,000 contribution during 2015 and 2014 as a matching amount on their 401(k)
contributions to the plan. In consideration of the administrative costs to maintain the 401(k) plan and the fact that we currently
only have one employee participating in the plan, our Board of Directors took action to dissolve the 401(k) plan by the end of

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">A retirement plan for executives was approved by our Board
of Directors on October 20, 2005. Eligibility requirements for receiving benefits under the plan include reaching age 60 and having
served for a minimum of 15 years as a designated executive and being employed by us on December 31, 2010.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Benefits include five years of payments equal to 50% of the
greater of the average of the individual&rsquo;s last five years of base salary or the last annual base salary. In addition, upon
retirement, officers are generally eligible for healthcare insurance for themselves and their spouses for 18 months. In order
to fund the Retirement Plan obligation, we periodically made cash contributions to a separate trust account that was managed by
an independent trustee. We periodically engaged the services of a third party actuary to determine the estimated liability under
the Retirement Plan. The Company and the Retirement Plan participants mutually agreed to terminate the retirement plan in December
2015, and all obligations were settled through cash payments during the first quarter of 2016.</P>

                                         Emmons Mining Company, a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Inc., acquired 50,000 shares
                                         of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (&ldquo;Preferred Stock&rdquo;) with an initial
                                         liquidation preference of $2,000,000 ($40.00 per share). The Preferred Stock accrues
                                         dividends at a rate of 12.25% per annum and such dividends are not payable in cash but
                                         are accrued and compounded quarterly in arrears and added to the initial liquidation
                                         preference. As of April 1, 2016, the adjusted liquidation preference was approximately
                                         $2,034,000 or $40.68 per share. At the option of the holder, each share of Preferred
                                         Stock may initially be converted into 80 shares of our common stock (the &ldquo;Conversion
                                         Rate&rdquo;) for an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares. The conversion rate was adjusted for
                                         accumulated dividends through March 31, 2016, and is currently at the rate of 81.36 shares
                                         of our common stock, resulting in total common shares issuable upon conversion of approximately
                                         4,068,000. The Preferred Stock will generally not vote with the Company&rsquo;s Common
                                         Stock on an as-converted basis on matters put before the Company&rsquo;s shareholders.</TD></TR></TABLE>

damages, and not as a penalty, the sum of $10,000 for each such breach and each repetition thereof.</P>
