<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</B></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">HOUSTON, TEXAS &mdash; December 19, 2023 &mdash; Mesa Royalty Trust (the &ldquo;Trust&rdquo;) (NYSE symbol-MTR) announced today the Trust
income distribution for the month of December 2023. Unitholders of record on December 29, 2023 will receive distributions amounting to
$0.030835621 per unit, payable on January 31, 2024. The Trust received $99,199, 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
2023 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 $57,465.</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 10-Q, distributions to unitholders are expected to be
materially reduced, until the Trust increases its cash reserves to a total of $2.0 million in order 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 10-K and Form 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. 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. Other important factors that could cause these statements to differ materially include 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 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Statements made in this
press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in 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>
