<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">HOUSTON, TEXAS &mdash; <FONT>November&nbsp;20,</FONT> 2020
&mdash; Mesa Royalty Trust (the &ldquo;Trust&rdquo;) (NYSE symbol-MTR) announced today that there will be no distribution
paid for the month ended <FONT>November</FONT>&nbsp;2020 to holders of record as of the close of business on <FONT>November&nbsp;30</FONT>,
2020, as costs, charges and expenses attributable to the Trust&rsquo;s royalty properties, and applicable reserves, exceeded
the revenue received from the sale of oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons produced from such properties, as reported by
the working interest owners.</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">The Trust was formed to own an overriding royalty interest of
the net proceeds attributable to the specified interest in certain producing oil and gas properties located in the Hugoton field
of Kansas and the San Juan Basin fields of New Mexico and Colorado. As described in the Trust's filings, the amount of the monthly
distributions is expected to fluctuate from month to month, depending on the proceeds, if any, received by the Trust as a result
of production, oil and natural gas prices and the amount of the Trust&rsquo;s administrative expenses, among other factors. The
amount of proceeds, if any, received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions to unitholders)
has been and will continue to be directly affected, among other things, by the volatility in commodity prices. There has been a
substantial decrease in oil and natural gas prices in 2020 due in part to significantly decreased demand as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic and an oversupply of crude oil. Oil and natural gas prices could remain low for an extended period of time, which in turn
could have a material adverse effect on Trust distributions. Continued low oil and natural gas prices, among other things, will
reduce proceeds to which the Trust is entitled, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders
and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders.</P>

assurances can be given that the expectations contained in this press release will prove to be correct. The working interest owners
alone control historical operating data, and handle receipt and payment of funds relating to the royalty properties and payments
to the Trust for the related royalty. The Trustee cannot assure that errors or adjustments or expenses accrued by the working interest
owners, whether historical or future, will not affect future royalty income and distributions by the Trust.&nbsp; Other important
factors that could cause these statements to differ materially include&nbsp;delays in actual results of drilling operations, risks
inherent in drilling and production of oil and gas properties, declines in commodity pricing, and other factors described in the
Trust&rsquo;s Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2019 under &ldquo;Part&nbsp;I,&nbsp;Item 1A. Risk Factors,&rdquo;
