<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; December&nbsp;17, 2021 &mdash; Mesa Royalty
Trust (the &ldquo;Trust&rdquo;) (NYSE symbol-MTR) announced today the Trust income distribution for the month of December&nbsp;2021. Unitholders
of record on December&nbsp;31, 2021 will receive distributions amounting to $0.129845651 per unit, payable on January&nbsp;31, 2022. The
Trust received $277,472, all of which came from the New Mexico portion of the Trust&rsquo;s San Juan Basin properties operated by Hilcorp
San Juan LP, an affiliate of Hilcorp Energy Company. No income was received in December&nbsp;2021 from any other working interest owner.
This month, after the Trust&rsquo;s withholding for cash reserves and the payment of administrative expenses, income from the distributable
net profits was $241,979.</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 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 public 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. In addition, as further described in the Trust&rsquo;s most
recent filing on Form&nbsp;10-Q, unitholders may not receive any material distributions beyond 2021, because the Trust intends to increase
cash reserves from $1.0 million to a total of $2.0 million to provide added liquidity.</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">Proceeds reported by the working interest owners for any month are
not generally representative of net proceeds that will be received by the Trust in future periods. As further described in the Trust&rsquo;s
Form&nbsp;10-K and Form&nbsp;10-Q filings, production and development costs for the royalty interest have resulted in substantial accumulated
excess production costs, which will decrease Trust distributions, and in some periods may result in no Trust distributions. 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 volatility in the industry and revenues and expenses reported to the Trust
by working interest owners. Any additional expenses and adjustments, among other things, will reduce proceeds to the Trust, which will
reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders.</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">This press release contains forward-looking statements.&nbsp;No 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, prices received by working interest owners and other risks described in the
Trust&rsquo;s Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2020, Form&nbsp;10-Q for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2021, Form&nbsp;10-Q
for the quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2021 and Form&nbsp;10-Q for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2021. Statements made in this press
release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in&nbsp;such risk factors. The Trust does not intend, and assumes no obligations,
to update any of the statements included in this press release. Each unitholder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to its
particular circumstances.</P>
