STLADP PARTNERSHIP REPORT
SILVER TUSK LEASE ACQUISITION & DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP
STATUS REPORT AS OF 11.30.2015
SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
The Silver Tusk Lease Acquisition & Development Partnership, LP (“STLADP”) began offering subscriptions to its oil and gas lease acquisition
and drilling program in December 2013. Leasing activities and drilling operations commenced in February and March 2014 and since this
time Silver Tusk Operating Company, LLC has drilled 3 horizontal wells, 8 vertical wells, 2 deviated wells and 1 sidetrack well in which
STLADP owns or at some time owned a working interest in. Total footage drilled is 100,489 feet. During this same period Silver Tusk Oil
Company, LLC acquired a total of 11,770 gross acres and 10,496 net acres of oil and gas leases in which STLADP owns or at some time
owned a working interest in. It also acquired 1 producing well, 1 salt water disposal well and 2 shut‐in wells in conjunction with the
acquisition of the leases.
The total number of wells drilled or acquired by STLADP is 18 (10 producers, 3 shut‐in pending workovers or P&A, 1 suspended pending a
frac, sidetrack or P&A and re‐drill, 1 salt water disposal, 1 P&A sidetrack, 1 P&A pilot hole and 1 P&A producer). Current gross 8/8ths
production rate is 2,184 Mcf of gas per day and 164 Bbls of oil per day. Cumulative production to‐date is 648,017 Mcf of gas and 74,587
Bbls of oil and condensate. Total oil and gas sold to‐date is 599,790 Mcf of gas and 72,848 Bbls of oil and condensate.

The STLADP Gross 8/8ths Monthly BOE Oil & Gas Sales Chart (see above) illustrates the initial success the partnership had in Burleson
County, Texas when the Willard Unit 1H‐2 (Buda) well was drilled. Oil sales quickly rose to almost 13,000 Bbls of oil per month (equivalent
to 430 Bbls of oil per day) in June 2014 and declined steeply the next month due to water encroachment from a fracture or fractures that
drowned out the oil production from the wellbore. Attempts were made to isolate the water production but these were all unsuccessful
and the zone had to be plugged and abandoned (“P&A”). The second increase in oil production that commenced in October 2014 was the

result of the recompletion of the Willard borehole in the Austin Chalk horizontal well. The Willard Unit 1H‐1 well initially flowed at rates of
over 100 Bbls of oil per day. Oil sales peaked in December 2014 when 2,366 Bbls of oil were sold (equivalent to 76 Bbls of oil per day). The
Austin Chalk has not be acidized or fracture stimulated in this well and production could be increased to similar levels when this is
performed. The next significant increase in oil and gas production and sales came in March 2015 and was due to the initial 3 Trinidad Lake
Prospect Area wells coming on line (the Margie Sanders 1, Kilcrease 1 and Kilcrease Bowles 1). Gas sales peaked at 93,566 Mcf gas per
month in March 2015 (equivalent to 3,018 Mcf of gas per day) and liquid sales rose by another 2,821 Bbls of condensate per month
(equivalent to 91 Bbls of condensate per day). Oil and gas sales from these 3 wells steadily declined over the next 8 months at which time
sales began to level out at around 43,970 Mcf of gas per month (equivalent to 1,418 Mcf of gas per day). The final increase in sales
observed on the oil and gas sales chart shown on the previous page occurred in November 2015. This corresponds with 3 more wells being
put on‐line in the Trinidad Lake Prospect Area (the Coronado Unit 1, Coronado Unit 1A and Jones Unit 1). The Jones Unit 1 is a gas well and
the other 2 are oil wells with associated casinghead gas. The Trinidad Lake Prospect Area is now selling around 59,104 Mcf of gas per
month (equivalent to 1,970 MCF of gas per day) and 3,100 Bbls of oil and condensate per month (equivalent to 103 Bbls of oil and
condensate per day). Gross 8/8ths oil and gas production and sales over the past 20 months for all of the wells that STLADP has an interest
in are shown in the table below:

The partnership’s activities have focused on 3 prospect areas, the Trinidad Lake Prospect Area in Navarro and Henderson Counties, Texas,
the Big Cypress Prospect Area (Whelan Lease) in Marion County, Texas and the Sand Lake Prospect Area in Burleson, Lee and Milam
Counties, Texas. The current status of drilling and leasing activities by prospect area as of 11/30/2015 is as follows:
TRINIDAD LAKE PROSPECT, NAVARRO & HENDERSON COUNTIES, TEXAS
Silver Tusk Oil Company, LLC and STLADP have acquired a total of 3,129.5 gross and 2,447.5 net acres of oil and gas leases in Navarro and
Henderson Counties, Texas. A total of 8 wells have been drilled on the acreage to‐date (6 vertical wells and 2 deviated wells) and 6 of these
are currently producing. Total footage drilled so far is 64,596 feet. The status of the existing wells is as follows:

Silver Tusk Oil Company, LLC is still actively leasing in the Navarro County part of the Trinidad Lake Prospect Area and is currently focusing
on a few select areas that have been high graded by recent drilling activities in the area, in particular the Jones Unit 1 gas condensate
discovery well which has extended the Rodessa Lime fairway around 1 mile to the southwest of the other partnership wells. The areas high
graded for further leasing activities (areas shaded in light brown on the location map on the previous page) cover an area of approximately
900 gross and net acres. This includes the area between the Margie Sanders 1 and Jones Unit 1 wells which has proven difficult to lease so
far due to poor title documentation and varied and fragmented ownership that cannot be traced back far enough in the title chain with
certainty. Silver Tusk Oil Company, LLC has identified 3 to 4 low risk drilling locations in this area and intends to get around some of the
leasing problems by securing receivership leases wherever possible. However, this will take some time and it is unlikely that any of the
locations inside the light brown area outlined in red on the location map on the previous page (named the “Ghost Tracts” due to difficulty
in locating the owners) will be cleared for drilling until sometime in Q1 of 2016.
3 proposed drilling locations (the Hardy Ingram 1, Jones Unit 2 and Coronado 2) have been permitted and cleared for drilling. However,
Silver Tusk Operating Company, LLC only has sufficient capital resources available to drill either 2 vertical wells or 1 deviated well. The
Trinidad Lake I Prospect Partnership, LP offering was only able to raise $3,550,000. Total capitalization for this partnership was $11,750,000
to drill 5 wells. The offering was only 30.2% subscribed and, therefore, it will not be possible to drill more than 2 additional wells using
capital raised by this partnership. Silver Tusk Operating Company, LLC has already drilled the Kilcrease Bowles 2 well under this partnership
but was unable to establish production from the Rodessa due to poor reservoir quality (low porosity & permeability). This was unexpected
in view of the close proximity of the Kilcrease Bowles 2 well to 3 other producing wells in the same reservoir (the Margie Sanders 1,
Kilcrease 1 and Kilcrease Bowles 1). Various options are being considered for this well depending on available capital resources. These
include fracing the interval, drilling a sidetrack well or drilling another well in place of this well. The well results and the options available to
the partnership are discussed in detail in a separate report prepared for this well. The best option at this time is to drill a new vertical well
and Silver Tusk Operating Company, LLC is planning to drill the Hardy Ingram 1 well as the second well in the Trinidad Lake I Prospect
Partnership, LP. Depending upon the results of this well the third well will either be the Jones Unit 2 well or a new vertical well at or near to
the bottom hole location of the proposed sidetrack option for the Kilcrease Bowles 2 well.
The Coronado Unit 1 and 1A wells were also unexpected results. Both wells are oil wells and not gas condensate wells despite the fact that
one of them is located up structure to the Kilcrease Bowles 1 well which is a gas condensate well. The Coronado Unit 1 well is located only
1,500 feet south of the Margie Sanders 1 well. The Margie Sanders 1 well is producing around 473 MCF of gas per day and 13 Bbls of 650
API condensate per day with little or no water and the Coronado Unit 1 well is producing around 12 Bbls of 400 API gravity oil and 180 MCF
of casinghead gas with around 50 Bbls of water per day. The down‐dip reservoir picture gets even more complicated when you take into
consideration that the Coronado Unit 1A well which is located 20 feet deeper structurally at the Rodessa Lime pay level and is producing
almost water free. The Rodessa Lime Pay Zone in the Coronado Unit 1 is unusually thick (almost 10’ net pay versus 4.5’ in most of the other
wells in area) and its porosity and permeability are very high. The results are explained in more detail in the separate reports for these 2
wells. The conclusion is that the wells have been affected by the waterflood conducted in the Ingram Trinity Field and drilling too far down‐
dip anywhere along the western boundary of this field should be avoided. The Ingram Trinity Field Area is shaded in grey on the location
map on the previous page. The results achieved in the Coronado Unit 1 and 1A wells have affected current thinking regarding the proposed
Coronado 2 well. The proposed bottom hole location for this well has been revised and if drilled the well will now only have a lateral offset
of 1,000 feet and will terminate at least 10 feet further up‐dip to its originally proposed bottom hole location per the latest structure map.
The Kilcrease Bowles 2 and the Coronado Unit 1A wells have defined the northwestern and southeastern boundaries of the Rodessa Lime
play in the Navarro County part of the Trinidad Lake Prospect Area. If you drill any further north or northwest of the Kilcrease Bowles 2
location there will most likely not be sufficient porosity and permeability to complete a commercial well and if you drill any further east or
southeast of the Coronado Unit 1A well then partial depletion from the waterflood performed in the Ingram Trinity Field Unit becomes a
significant factor, despite the much improved porosity and permeability of the Rodessa Lime reservoir in this direction. These 2 wells and
the Jones Unit 1 well are the last wells that will be drilled utilizing the STLADP Partnership’s capital resources. The partnership has
insufficient capital to drill any further wells and future drilling will require that additional capital is raised or the drilling is farmed out in
return for receiving a carried working interest in the wells.
The results of the Margie Sanders 1, Kilcrease 1 and Philip Casavilla 2 wells have already been discussed in detail in prior reports. The other
5 wells (the Kilcrease Bowles 1, Kilcrease Bowles 2, Coronado Unit 1, Coronado Unit 1A and Jones Unit 1) are reviewed in more detail in a
separate report prepared for each well. These reports will be distributed at the same time as this report.
Silver Tusk Oil Company, LLC is not actively leasing in the Henderson County part of the Trinidad Lake Prospect Area and is considering
selling all of the leases acquired in Henderson County as well as the Philip Casavilla 2 wellbore. The Philip Casavilla 2 well is currently shut‐
in and has produced 1,181 Bbls of oil and 6,460 Bbls of water since inception. The well has required a lot of attention and the cost of the
workovers and repairs required to keep the production going has rendered it marginally economic. There is some potential for gas in the
deeper Travis Peak interval but it will likely require an expensive pipeline and tap to get any gas to market. The leases are still in their
primary term and the plan is to leave the well shut‐in for the near term while various options are evaluated. The map below is a lease and
well location map and top Rodessa pay zone depth structure map for the Henderson County part of the Trinidad Lake Prospect Area. The
other 2 permitted locations in this area (the Norwood 1 and Philip Casavilla 1) are not viable locations at this time since they are located
along strike or down‐dip to the Philip Casavilla 2 well and would likely yield similar results.

Oil sales from the Trinidad Lake Prospect Area commenced in November 2014 when the Philip Casavilla 2 commenced production. The
really significant increase in oil and gas production and sales came in March 2015 when the initial 3 Trinidad Lake Prospect Area gas
condensate wells came on line (the Margie Sanders 1, Kilcrease 1 and Kilcrease Bowles 1). Gas sales peaked at 93,566 Mcf gas per month in
March 2015 (equivalent to 3,018 Mcf of gas per day) and liquid sales rose by another 2,821 Bbls of condensate per month (equivalent to 91
Bbls of condensate per day). Oil and gas sales from these 3 wells steadily declined over the next 8 months at which time sales began to
level out at around 43,970 Mcf of gas per month (equivalent to 1,418 Mcf of gas per day). Oil and gas sales increased again in November
2015. Product sales increased by 505 Mcf gas per day and 35 Bbls of oil and condensate per day from October to November 2015. This
corresponds with 3 more wells being put on‐line in the Trinidad Lake Prospect Area (the Coronado Unit 1, Coronado Unit 1A and Jones Unit
1). The Jones Unit 1 is a gas well and the other 2 are oil wells with associated casinghead gas. The Trinidad Lake Prospect Area is now
selling around 59,104 Mcf of gas per month (equivalent to 1,970 MCF of gas per day) and 3,100 Bbls of oil and condensate per month
(equivalent to 103 Bbls of oil and condensate per day). The production and sales volumes are shown in the monthly production chart and
monthly production and sales table overleaf.
