NEWS RELEASE

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

HOUSTON, TEXAS — February 19, 2019 — Mesa Royalty Trust (NYSE symbol-MTR) announced the Trust income distribution for the month of February 2019. Unitholders of record on February 28, 2019 will receive distributions amounting to $0.102289810 per unit payable on April 30, 2019. The Trust received $97,150 and $64,114 from the New Mexico and Colorado portions, respectively, of the San Juan Basin Properties. Royalty income received from the Hugoton Properties totaled $0.

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements.  Although the working interest owners have advised the Trustee that the working interest owners believe that the expectations contained in this press release are reasonable, no assurances can be given that such expectations 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 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, and other factors described in the Trust’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.  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.
