Item 1. | Organization and Business |
Okmin Resources Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Okmin” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada in December 2020 to engage in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral rights and natural resource assets.
As an early stage company, Okmin has been focused on the acquisition and development of domestic oil and gas fields, investing in lower profile “bread and butter” rework and recompletion opportunities with lower entry costs. The company's initial projects are located in Oklahoma and Kansas.
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries that conduct oil and gas activities, Okmin Operations, LLC incorporated on May 25th, 2021 in the State of Kansas and Okmin Energy LLC, incorporated on November 21st, 2021 in the State of Oklahoma.
Subject to the Company being able to secure adequate additional financing, Okmin may also acquire the rights to and participate in drilling and/or other mining operations. The Company will evaluate exploration and mining opportunities and other strategic corporate opportunities as they become available from time to time.
In October 2021, the Company completed a private placement of 20,000,000 shares of its common stock raising proceeds of $500,000. The proceeds are being utilized to fund existing project operations, new acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.
Item 1.A | Risk Factors |
Risks associated with the business of the Company
The Company has a limited operating history and may not be successful in developing profitable business operations.
Okmin has a limited operating history since its incorporation December 2020. As of the date of this Registration Statement, we have limited assets and revenues. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including:
· | The ability to raise or access adequate working capital; | |
· | The success of our oil and gas exploration and development operations; | |
· | Our ability to control our costs and produce sufficient quantities of oil and natural gas at a profit; | |
· | The prices of oil and natural gas; | |
· | Our ability to attract and retain key management. |
Despite our best efforts, we may not be successful in our efforts to develop profitable business operations.
The Company has limited capital and will need to raise additional capital in the future.
We do not currently have the capital necessary to fund both our continuing operations and our planned growth. We will require additional capital to continue to grow our business through the operation and maintenance of our existing wells and through the acquisition of additional properties. We estimate that the Company will need to raise additional capital of at least $500,000 to enable it to rework and enhance existing projects, acquire further oil and gas interests, or to acquire other mineral exploration properties. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for acquiring resource properties, investor acceptance of the Company’s interests, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to the Company. The most likely source of future funds presently available to the Company is through sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing stockholders. The terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to our new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of other derivative securities, and issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have a further dilutive effect.
1 |
If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our planned operations and will have a significant negative effect on our operations and financial condition.
The Company has limited interests in oil and gas leases and cannot guarantee that it will identify or acquire any additional viable leases or mineral property assets or interests.
Okmin presently only has partial interests in projects and leases with limited activity. The Company is currently seeking to identify other leases or mineral properties to acquire but the Company cannot guarantee it will find any valuable leases or mineral properties. Even if the Company enters into additional joint ventures or acquires additional interests in leases or other mineral properties on land being developed by a mining company, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to capitalize on the increased value of its leasehold.
If the Company cannot acquire any viable leases, mineral property assets or mineral property interests, or cannot find any oil and gas or minerals on such leases or mineral properties, or it is not economical to recover the oil and gas or minerals from those properties, the Company may have to curtail or cease operations.
Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk.
Exploring for and developing oil and natural gas involves a high degree of operational and financial risk. Predicting the costs involved in exploration and drilling is difficult to achieve with a high degree of certainty. Our potential drilling locations are in various stages of evaluation, ranging from locations that are ready to drill, to locations that will require substantial additional interpretation before they can be drilled. The budgeted costs of planning, drilling, completing and operating wells are often exceeded, and such costs can increase significantly due to various complications that may arise during the drilling and operating processes. Before a well is spudded, we may incur significant licensing, geological and geophysical costs, which are incurred whether a well eventually produces commercial quantities of hydrocarbons or is drilled at all. Exploration wells bear a much greater risk of loss than development wells. If our actual drilling and development costs are significantly more than our estimated costs, we may not be able to continue our operations as proposed and could be forced to modify our drilling plans accordingly.
If we decide to drill a certain location, there is a risk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas reservoirs will be found or produced. We may drill or participate in new wells that are not productive. We may drill wells that are productive, but that do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. There is no way to predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any particular location will yield oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to recover exploration, drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. Even if sufficient amounts of oil or natural gas exist, we may damage the potentially productive hydrocarbon-bearing formation or experience mechanical difficulties while drilling or completing the well, resulting in a reduction in production and reserves from the well or abandonment of the well.
Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are high-risk activities with many dangers and uncertainties
Oil and Gas drilling and production are high-risk activities, and there are many risk which can cause substantial losses, including personal injury or loss of life; severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment as well as oil gathering and transportation equipment and facilities; pollution or other environmental contamination, and resulting remedial or clean-up responsibilities and repairs to resume operations; and regulatory fines or penalties. Insurance against all operational risks may not be affordable or available the Company, its partners, or third-party contractors. The occurrence of an event that is not covered in full or in part by insurance could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business operations and financial condition.
The Company has no oil and gas reserves, and future wells we drill may not yield oil or natural gas in commercial quantities or at all.
None of the Company’s properties have been evaluated for oil and gas reserves, and the Company has no proven reserves. There is no guarantee the Company’s properties contain sufficient recoverable oil and natural gas to be produced profitably, which may result in a loss of some or all of our investment in such projects. If we do not drill productive and profitable wells in the future, it will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business operations and financial condition.
2 |
The Company may have difficulty managing growth in our business, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
As an early stage company, growth in accordance with our business plan, if achieved, could place a significant strain on our financial, technical, operational, and management resources. As we expand our activities and increase the number of projects we are evaluating or in which we participate, there will be additional demands on our financial, technical, operational, and management resources. The failure to continue to upgrade our technical, administrative, operating, and financial control systems or the occurrences of unexpected expansion difficulties, including the failure to recruit, engage or retain professionals in the oil and natural gas industry, whether as employees or outside contractors, could have a negative material effect on our business and financial condition.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful.
The oil and natural gas exploration and production industry is intensely competitive, and the Company competes with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and gas but also market oil and gas and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies will be able to pay more for productive energy properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than Okmin’s financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies will have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low commodity market prices. The Company’s larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of present and future foreign, federal, state, local and other laws and regulations more easily than Okmin can, which would adversely affect its competitive position. The Company’s ability to acquire additional properties and to discover productive prospects in the future will be dependent upon its ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because Okmin has fewer financial and human resources than many companies in its industry, the Company may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing properties.
The Company does not operate any of its current projects and is dependent upon our partners and contractors.
All of the Company’s projects are operated by partners and are dependent upon the operational capabilities of those partners and third-party contactors. Therefore, we ultimately do not control the timing of the development, exploitation, production and exploration activities relating to our property interests. If our partners and contractors are unsuccessful in the exploration and operation of our property interests, it would have a negative material effect on our business and financial condition.
The Company’s properties are concentrated in one geographic area.
All of the Company’s properties are located in Oklahoma and Kansas. Since our properties are contained in a limited area, a number of our properties could experience the same adverse conditions at the same time, resulting in a relatively greater impact on our operations than if we had a more diversified portfolio of properties. Such conditions could have a negative material effect on our business and financial condition.
Any change in government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to operate and its profitability.
The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in any applicable jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter Okmin’s ability to carry on business. The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on the Company. In particular, any change in the current policies of the U.S. Department of the Interior regarding leasing of mineral interests in public lands could cause a significant alteration in the potential profitability of our investment strategy. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to operate and/or its profitably.
3 |
Certain U.S. federal income tax deductions currently available with respect to oil and natural gas drilling and development may be eliminated as a result of future legislation.
Possible elimination of certain key U.S. federal income tax incentives currently available to oil and gas exploration and production could be eliminated in the future. If enacted into law, any such proposals would eliminate certain tax preferences applicable to taxpayers engaged in the exploration or production of natural resources. The passage of any legislation as a result of such proposals or any other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could eliminate or postpone certain tax deductions that are currently available with respect to oil and natural gas exploration and development, and any such change could increase our tax liability and negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Our operations are governed by significant environmental regulations.
Okmin’s oil and natural gas exploration and production operations are subject to significant environmental regulation. We are subject to various federal, state and local laws regulating the protection of the environment and strictly regulate the discharge of materials. These regulations directly affect oil and natural and gas exploration, development and production operations. We could incur significant costs as a result of any violations or liabilities under environmental or other laws made by us, our partners or our third-party contactors. Changes in or more stringent enforcement of environmental laws could force us to expend additional operating costs and capital expenditures to stay in compliance. If we are deemed to not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws, we could be forced to expend substantial amounts to be in compliance and shut-down the effected operations either temporarily or permanently, which would have a materially negative effect on our operations and financial condition.
The Company’s success is dependent on the continued employment of Jonathan Herzog, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Thomas Lapinski, our Chairman of the Board.
The success of Okmin depends to a large degree upon the personal efforts and ability of Mr. Herzog and Mr. Lapinski, The Company does not have “key-man” insurance on either individual, the loss of whose services, whether through disability, illness, death or severance of employment, would have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
The Company’s principal officer and director may be subject to conflicts of interest.
Jonathan Herzog, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and director, is only partially devoting his time to the Company’s affairs as he deems necessary to accomplish the Company’s business plan. However, Mr. Herzog may also devote part of his working time to other business and employment endeavors, including roles and consulting relationships with other entities, and may have responsibilities to these other entities which would result in conflicts of interest. Such conflicts include deciding how much time to devote to the Company’s affairs, as well as what business opportunities should be presented to the Company. Because of these relationships, Mr. Herzog could be subject to conflicts of interest. Currently, Okmin has no policy in place to address such conflicts of interest.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements for the period from inception to June 30, 2021 were prepared using the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. Our independent auditors in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our operations are dependent on our ability to raise sufficient capital until such time as we may be able to establish profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any additional funds when needed, or if we are able to raise additional funds, that such funds will be on favorable terms or in the amounts required. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders are likely to lose most or all of their investment in the Company's common shares.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer owns a majority of the outstanding common stock, which enables him to exercise complete control over all corporate matters.
Jonathan Herzog, our President and Chief Executive Officer, currently owns approximately 32% of our outstanding common stock and, by reason of his ownership of Series A Preferred Stock, exercises control of over 51% of the equity and the voting power in the Company. As a result, Mr. Herzog can exercise control over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Because Nevada law permits shareholders to act by written consent in lieu of holding a meeting of shareholders, the affairs of the Company may be carried on without need for any meeting of the shareholders. This situation may prevent the minority shareholders from participating in any way in the management of the Company. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of us and might affect the pricing of our common stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with the best interest of the Company or the interests of other stockholders.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation-By Laws and Nevada Law may protect the company’s directors from certain types of lawsuits.
The Company is incorporated under the Laws of the State of Nevada. Nevada law provides that the Company’s officers and directors will not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as officers and directors. Okmin’s Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to indemnify officers and directors of the Company against all damages incurred in connection with the Company’s business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against the Company’s officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use the Company’s limited assets to defend its officers and directors against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
The administrative costs of public company regulatory compliance could become burdensome and consume a significant amount of the Company’s cash resources, which could materially and adversely affect its business.
The Company intends to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission which will permit the company’s shares to trade publicly. This registration may result in the Company incurring significant costs and expenses in connection with assuring compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to it as a public company. The Company anticipates that its initial ongoing costs and expenses of complying with our public reporting company obligations will be approximately $50,000 annually. The Company’s compliance costs and expenses could increase substantially if it applies for trading of its securities on a national stock exchange which may have listing requirements that engender additional administration and compliance costs. The Company will assign a high priority to establishing and maintaining controls, procedures, corporate compliance and public company reporting; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient cash resources available to satisfy its public company reporting and compliance obligations. If the Company is unable to cover the cost of proper administration of its public company compliance and reporting obligations, the Company could become subject to sanctions, fines and penalties, its stock could be barred from trading in public capital markets, and it may have to cease business.
The Company may fail to secure public trading of its common stock or, even if it obtains a public quotation, trading in the common stock may be inadequate to provide liquidity for our shareholders.
There is no current market for the Company’s common stock and there has never been any public market for our common stock. Our common stock is not currently eligible for trading on any national securities exchange, NASDAQ or any over-the-counter market, including an OTC Market Group quotation system such as the OTCQB, and we cannot assure you that our common stock will become eligible for trading. After the effective date of this registration statement, we intend to arrange for the submission of a Form 15c2-11 to FINRA which would permit broker-dealers to post quotations for our stock in the Over-The-Counter marketplace. We intend to initially apply to have our common stock quoted in the OTC Pink Market of the OTC Market Group. However, no assurance can be given that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Pink Market or any other quotation service.
Many market makers refuse to be involved in such applications, as the process of applying for a quotation consumes the time and effort of their personnel, and often provides little or no reward to the market maker. If we are unable to persuade a market maker to sponsor our common stock on an interdealer electronic quotation system, our common stock will remain illiquid. The application process itself is likely to take several months, and will not necessarily result in a successful application, as FINRA, which must authorize the quotation, has discretion to refuse the application for many possible reasons pertaining to the likely character of the trading market that could develop in the security. Finally, even if and when our common stock does begin trading, the small number of holders of our common stock means that for some indefinite period of time the trading volume in our common stock may be very low. For all of these reasons, for some period of the future, our shareholders may find it difficult or impossible to sell their shares when they wish and for prices they consider reasonable.
5 |
An active market will not develop unless broker-dealers develop interest in trading the Company’s shares, and the Company may be unable to generate interest in its shares among broker-dealers until the Company generates meaningful revenues and profits from operations. Until that time occurs, if it does at all, purchasers of the Company’s shares may be unable to sell them publicly. In the absence of an active trading market:
· | Market visibility for the Company’s common stock may be limited; | |
· | Investors may have difficulty buying and selling the Company’s shares or obtaining market quotations; and | |
· | A lack of visibility for the Company’s common stock may depress the market price for its shares. |
Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act would lead to loss of investor confidence in the Company’s reported financial information.
Pursuant to proposals related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, on a quarterly basis the Company will be required to furnish a report by its management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. If the Company cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then its business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in the Company’s reported financial information, and the trading price of the Company’s stock could be negatively affected.
During the course of the Company’s testing, management may identify deficiencies which the Company may not be able to remediate in time for securities disclosure reporting deadlines. In addition, if the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, the Company may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that the Company has effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for the Company to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud.
The Company has not paid any cash dividends in the past and will not pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future
Okmin has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company generally intends to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of its business. Dividend payments in the future may also be limited by other loan agreements or covenants contained in other securities which the Company may issue. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements and such other factors as the board of directors deems relevant.
The Company’s common stock will likely be considered to be “penny stock.”
If a market develops for the common stock of Okmin, it is likely that the Company’s common stock will be considered to be a “penny stock” because it will meet one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include but are not limited to, the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market, or even if quoted, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade it on an unsolicited basis.
6 |
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules. If a trading market for our common stock develops, our common stock will probably become subject to the penny stock rules, shareholders may have difficulty in selling their shares and could lose all of their investment.
Item 2. | Financial Information |
Results of Operations
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 the Company recorded revenues from oil and gas sales of $4,881 and $13,133 in the three months ending September 30, 2021. Operating expenses from inception through to the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 were $76,451 and $7,605 for the three months ending September 30, 2021.

In an effort to conserve its limited resources during the earlier stages of the Company’s development, the company has issued stock in lieu of consulting, geological and professional services. Of the $76,451 in operating expenses through the year ended June 30, 2021, $70,500 comprised of non-cash expenses.
In the 2022 fiscal year we anticipate cash needs of a minimum of $500,000, of which we attribute approximately $220,000 to maintain general corporate overhead and $280,000 for continued work on our existing lease properties including but not limited to workovers and re-activations of existing non-producing wells. We plan to obtain that capital by issuing equity securities, which may consist of either capital stock or convertible debt.
In November 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement pursuant to which it raised an additional $231,000 in financing. The note has a 10% annual interest rate, with repayments commencing as of May 2022 and any open balance is convertible at the Lender’s discretion into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.03 per share with warrant coverage at the same price on the basis of one warrant per every three shares issued under the note.
Item 3. | Properties |
Okmin’s principal office is located at 16501 Ventura Blvd, Suite 400, Encino CA, 91436. The Company has a month to month arrangement for corporate offices at a cost of approximately $100 per month, with meeting space available to it on demand on a pay per use basis. Outside of this, the Company also utilizes office space provided to it by associates at no charge and if necessary plans to lease additional office space to house its executive offices as its activities advance.
At this time, Okmin does not anticipate purchasing any real estate, nor, does it anticipate purchasing any real property for its office.
Oil and Gas Properties
Oklahoma
In February 2021 Okmin entered into a Joint Venture Agreement and Operating Agreement committing $100,000 in the initial phase to acquire working interests in ten oil and gas leases located in Okmulgee and Muskogee Counties, part of the Glenn Pool oil region in Oklahoma. Under the Operating Agreement, Okmin’s Joint Venture partner, Blackrock Energy LLC (“Blackrock”) is the Operator of the project, handling the day-to-day operations on the ground.
Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company has acquired working interests (“WI”) in the following leases:
50% Working Interests
· | Chain Lease – 160 Acres in Okmulgee County | |
This lease has two oil wells on site that are currently idle. Additionally, there are pump jacks, oil and water tanks and other equipment. The lease has been proven capable of continuing to produce oil, though water disposal has been a challenge at this lease, so we continue to investigate readying and utilizing a water disposal well on site. Once this is resolved the plan is to start pumping oil again and evaluate the lease for additional work. | ||
· | Burke Lease – 40 Acres in Okmulgee County | |
This lease has three oil wells on site that are in production. Additionally, there are pump jacks, an oil tank and other equipment onsite. | ||
· | Preston Lease – 80 Acres in Okmulgee County | |
This lease has three oil wells on site that are in production. Additionally, there are pump jacks, an oil tank and other equipment. We are planning to apply for a permit on a water disposal well. | ||
· | Goldner Lease – 160 Acres in Okmulgee County | |

The Company, through its joint venture partner Blackrock has been reworking and rehabilitating these leases and has had nominal oil and gas production since April 2021. Production which is predominantly oil, has come from the following leases: Peavler, Preston, Burke, and more recently Goldner and Anthony. A small amount of natural gas has been sold from Duffy. The Chain, Hollingsworth, Calley and Abbey leases are yet to produce any revenue for us. Since inception through to the end of the Company’s first fiscal quarter on September 30, 2021, the Company’s share of revenues from oil and gas sales at these leases totaled $18,014. Work continues on the properties to bring more wells into production mode and to continue efforts to optimize production. Oil from the Joint Venture is hauled and sold to a locally licensed First Purchaser in Oklahoma with over 40 years of oilfield experience. Natural gas is sold via pipeline to a local subsidiary of Enerfin Resources, a privately held midstream natural gas and crude company based in Houston, Texas, that was founded in 1986. The land owner royalties on these leases derived from gross revenue production varies from 12.5% to 23.5%. State production tax on oil sales is 7%.
Our existing wells on these leases encompass various oil and gas zones, generally ranging from 600 feet depth to approximately 2200 feet. The majority of our wells are drilled down to either the Sonora or the Booch Sands formations. The Sonora at 600 feet and the Booch Sands at 1000 feet. On the Chain, Anthony, Cally, Abby and Duffy leases most of the wells are drilled to the Dutcher zone, which ranges from 1400 to 2000 feet. Cally and Abby both have wells in the Cromwell zone, which extends to a depth of 2200 feet.
Kansas
In July 2021, the Company through its wholly owned Kansas subsidiary, Okmin Operations, LLC entered into an agreement to acquire a 72.5% Net Revenue Interest in the Vitt Lease located in Neosho County, Kansas. Okmin Operations, LLC acquired the lease with a cash payment of $25,000 together with a commitment to make additional expenditures, initially of at least $50,000 to rework the wells on the lease. The lease covers 160 acres and includes eleven existing oil and gas wells and four water injection wells.

The Company has entered into an operating agreement covering the Vitt Lease with Petron Oil and Gas LLC (“Petron”), pursuant to which Petron will handle the reworking of the existing wells and other day to day operations at the lease. Under the operating agreement, the company has initially committed to expenditures of $50,000 to commence initial re-work operations. Under the agreement, J &S McCoy Enterprises and Earnest Ashlock, who is the principal of Petron, together will retain a 15% Net Revenue Interest in the Vitt Lease. The Company has agreed to provide sufficient capital to rework the existing wells and to cover operator costs and expenses, which we currently estimate at approximately $80,000. Upon completion of the initial work program the parties will contribute capital costs in accordance with their percentage working interest, of which Okmin’s working interest is 85.8571428571%. The remaining 12.5% Net Revenue Interest of the lease reverts back to the landowners.
This lease currently has fifteen wells on site, eleven oil wells and four injection wells. These are shallow wells drilled down to the Bartlesville zone at a depth of 525 feet. Following initial rework activities, six of the oil wells have recently become active, with one additional well expected to start production shortly. Two additional wells are ready to be washed and treated and then our plan is to fracture them in an effort to stimulate activity on the wells. The remaining two oil wells require further evaluation. We plan to also wash and treat the four injection wells. There is also a possibility that one of the injection wells may still have potential to become a producing well. We plan to evaluate this possibility. The Vitt lease is equipped with pump jacks, oil and water tanks and other equipment. As of November 30, oil or gas has yet to be sold from the lease.
The Company’s lease holdings are all within the Cherokee Platform, a geological feature covering an area of northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas in the mid-continent region of the United States. The Cherokee Platform has been an established oil producing region for the last century.
West Sheppard Pool Field in North East Oklahoma
On August 31, the Company entered into an option agreement with Blackrock to acquire a 50% working interest in the West Sheppard Pool Field, a 1,930 acre series of leases located in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma. Blackrock had originally entered into a separate option agreement to acquire a 100% working interest from a third party. The Field has historically been focused on natural gas production. The 24 existing wells on the leases range from 850 feet to 1950 feet in depth with gas production from several zones as their main objective. There are several zones that are believed to exist or have been encountered have not been tested as to oil and gas production.
On November 29, 2021, the Company exercised its option and entered into a definitive joint venture and operating agreement with Blackrock to acquire a 50% working interest in the West Sheppard Pool Field at a cost of $150,000 in cash of which a $5,000 non-refundable deposit had already been made. Blackrock retains the remaining 50% working interest. The Company will further need to expend an unspecified additional amount of capital toward reworking the field as it reasonably determines. At this stage the Company anticipates such expenditure to be up to $100,000, though there can be no guarantee that such amount will be sufficient or what results it will achieve. Under the terms of the Joint Venture agreement, after deducting operating costs including a flat sum of $500 per month to Blackrock as operator, the Company shall receive all net income from revenues of the project until it has recouped $75,000, thereafter, the parties shall equally split the income.
Pushmataha County – South East Oklahoma
In November 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement with Blackrock to acquire a 50% working interest in the Pushmataha Gas Field, comprising 6 leases covering an area of 3,840 acres located in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma. Blackrock has previously entered into a separate option to acquire a 100% working interest from a third party. The Pushmataha Gas Field has 7 gas wells ranging in depth from 10,000-12,300 feet. The wells were temporarily inactive since 2019 due to line leaks and lower gas prices, though in April 2021 these wells were put back online and have been producing 100-300 MCFD. Not all the wells are in production and the Company believes with additional reworking and recompletion efforts it can further optimize the production potential of this field. Newer modern day technologies could also have an important impact on the economics for this asset.
10 |
To exercise the option, the Company will be required to commit the purchase price of $250,000 in cash of which a $5,000 non-refundable deposit has already been made. The Company is currently intending to complete this acquisition before the end of calendar 2021.
The Company will further need to expend an unspecified additional amount of capital toward reworking the field as it reasonably determines. At this stage the Company anticipates such expenditure to be up to $100,000, though there can be no guarantee that such amount will be sufficient or what results it will achieve. Under the terms of the Joint Venture agreement, after deducting operating costs including a flat sum of $1,000 per month to Blackrock as operator, the Company shall receive all net income from revenues of the project until it has recouped $125,000; thereafter, the parties shall equally split the income.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Okmin Resources, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Okmin Resources, Inc. (the "Company") as of June 30, 2021, the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period December 18, 2020 (Inception) through June 30, 2021 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period December 18, 2020 (Inception) through June 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

OKMIN RESOURCES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Okmin Resources Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Okmin” or the “Company”) was organized near the end of 2020 to engage in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral rights and natural resource assets.
Initially, as an early stage company, Okmin has been focused on the acquisition and development of domestic oil and gas fields, investing in lower profile “bread and butter” rework and recompletion opportunities with lower entry costs. The company's initial projects are located in Oklahoma and Kansas.
Subject to the Company being able to secure adequate additional financing, Okmin may also acquire the rights to and participate in drilling and/or other mining operations. The Company will evaluate exploration and mining opportunities and other strategic corporate opportunities as they become available from time to time.
On March 8, 2021, the Company commenced a private placement of up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock to raise net proceeds of approximately $500,000. As of June 30, 2021 proceeds of $211,500 have been raised. The net proceeds are being utilized to fund existing project operations, new acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
The Company’s accounting year end is June 30.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accounting principles followed and the methods of applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.
The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all of the accounts of Okmin Resources, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and certain assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2021, the Company cash equivalents totaled $275,572.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically an operating loss for the fiscal year end.
The Company has not established significant sources of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Oil and gas properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under this method of accounting, the costs of unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development activities are capitalized as properties and equipment. This includes any internal costs that are directly related to property acquisition, exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties is not recognized, unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.
F-7 |
OKMIN RESOURCES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AUDITED)
Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from costs being depleted or amortized. Oil and natural gas property costs excluded represent investments in unevaluated properties and include non-producing leasehold, geological, and geophysical costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and exploration drilling costs. The Company allocates a portion of its acquisition costs to unevaluated properties based on relative value. Costs are transferred to the full cost pool as the properties are evaluated over the life of the reservoir. Unevaluated properties are reviewed for impairment annually and are determined through an evaluation considering, among other factors, seismic data, requirements to relinquish acreage, drilling results, remaining time in the commitment period, remaining capital plan, and political, economic, and market conditions.
Gains and losses on the sale of oil and gas properties are not generally reflected in income unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. Sales of less than 100% of the Company’s interest in the oil and gas property are treated as a reduction of the capital cost of the field, with no gain or loss recognized, as long as doing so does not significantly affect the unit-of-production depletion rate. Costs of retired equipment, net of salvage value, are usually charged to accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization
The depreciable base for oil and natural gas properties includes the sum of all capitalized costs net of accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”), estimated future development costs and asset retirement costs not included in oil and natural gas properties, less costs excluded from amortization. The depreciable base of oil and natural gas properties is amortized on a unit-of-production method.
Ceiling test
Future production volumes from oil and gas properties are a significant factor in determining the full cost ceiling limitation of capitalized costs. Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company is required to periodically perform a “ceiling test” that determines a limit on the book value of oil and gas properties. If the net capitalized cost of proved oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, plus the cost of unproved oil and gas properties, exceeds the present value of estimated future net cash flows discounted at 10 percent, net of related tax affects, plus the cost of unproved oil and gas properties, the excess is charged to expense and reflected as additional accumulated DD&A. The ceiling test calculation uses a commodity price assumption which is based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month for each month within the prior 12-month period and excludes future cash outflows related to estimated abandonment costs.
The determination of oil and gas reserves is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data and the application of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of Economically recoverable reserves and future net cash flows depend on a number of variable factors and assumptions that are difficult to predict and may vary considerably from actual results. In particular, reserve estimates for wells with limited or no production history are less reliable than those based on actual production. Subsequent re-evaluation of reserves and cost estimates related to future development of proved oil and gas reserves could result in significant revisions to proved reserves. Other issues, such as changes in regulatory requirements, technological advances, and other factors which are difficult to predict could also affect estimates of proved reserves in the future.
Asset retirement obligations
The fair value of a liability for an asset’s retirement obligation (“ARO”) is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, with the corresponding charge capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then-present value each subsequent period, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Abandonment costs incurred are recorded as a reduction of the ARO liability.
Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental, and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenues when production is sold at a fixed or determinable price, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In July 2021, the Company through its wholly owned Kansas subsidiary, Okmin Operations, LLC entered into an agreement to acquire an 82.85% working interest and ultimately a 72.5% Net Revenue Interest in the Vitt Lease located in Neosho County, Kansas. Okmin Operations, LLC acquired the lease with a cash payment of $25,000 together with a commitment to make additional expenditures, initially of at least $50,000 to rework the wells on the lease. The lease covers 160 acres and includes eleven oil and gas wells and four water injection wells. The Company has entered into an operating agreement covering the Vitt Lease with Petron Oil and Gas LLC, pursuant to which Petron will handle the reworking of the existing wells and other day to day operations at the lease. Under the operating agreement, the company has initially committed to expenditures of up to $50,000 to commence phase 1 re-work operations. Under the agreement, J & S McCoy Enterprises and Earnest Ashlock, who is the principal of Petron, together will maintain approximately a 17.15% working interest and 15% Net Revenue Interest in the Vitt Lease, though will not have any expenditure commitments until the Company has expended the initial $50,000. The remaining 12.5% Net Revenue Interest of the lease reverts back to the landowners.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Okmin Resources Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Okmin” or the “Company”) was organized near the end of 2020 to engage in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral rights and natural resource assets.
Initially, as an early stage company, Okmin has been focused on the acquisition and development of domestic oil and gas fields, investing in lower profile “bread and butter” rework and recompletion opportunities with lower entry costs. The company's initial projects are located in Oklahoma and Kansas.
Subject to the Company being able to secure adequate additional financing, Okmin may also acquire the rights to and participate in drilling and/or other mining operations. The Company will evaluate exploration and mining opportunities and other strategic corporate opportunities as they become available from time to time.
On March 8, 2021, the Company commenced a private placement of 20,000,000 shares of common stock to raise net proceeds of approximately $500,000. As of September 30, 2021 proceeds of $455,000 have been raised. The net proceeds are being utilized to fund existing project operations, new acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accounting principles followed and the methods of applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.
The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all of the accounts of Okmin Resources, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and certain assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2021, the Company cash equivalents totaled $470,239.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically an operating loss for the past fiscal year ended, June 30, 2021.
The Company has not established significant sources of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenues when production is sold at a fixed or determinable price, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured.
3. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
Blackrock Joint Venture - Oklahoma
In February 2021 Okmin entered into a Joint Venture Agreement and Operating Agreement with Blackrock Energy, LLC committing $100,000 to acquire working interests and commence an initial phase of rehabilitation work on a package of ten oil and gas leases located in Okmulgee and Muskogee Counties, part of the Glenn Pool oil region in Oklahoma. Under the Operating Agreement, Okmin’s Joint Venture partner is the Operator of the project.

In July 2021, the Company through its wholly owned Kansas subsidiary, Okmin Operations, LLC entered into an agreement to acquire a 72.5% Net Revenue Interest in the Vitt Lease located in Neosho County, Kansas. Okmin Operations, LLC acquired the lease with a cash payment of $25,000 together with a commitment to make additional expenditures, initially of at least $50,000 to rework the wells on the lease. The lease covers 160 acres and includes eleven existing oil and gas wells and four water injection wells. As of September 30, oil or gas has yet to be sold from the lease.
West Sheppard Pool Field in North East Oklahoma
On August 31, the Company entered into an option agreement with Blackrock to acquire a 50% working interest in the West Sheppard Pool Field, a 1,930 acre series of leases located in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma. Blackrock had originally entered into a separate option agreement to acquire a 100% working interest from a third party. The Field has historically been focused on natural gas production. The 24 existing wells on the leases range from 850 feet to 1950 feet in depth with gas production from several zones as their main objective. There are several zones that are believed to exist or have been encountered have not been tested as to oil and gas production. To exercise the option, the Company is required to commit the purchase price of $150,000 in cash of which a $5,000 non-refundable deposit was made as of September 30, 2021. (See Note 9 – Subsequent Events)
There are no proven reserves of any classification in any of the projects listed above.
4. REVENUES AND COST OF REVENUES
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had production revenue of $13,133.00. Refer to the table below of production and revenue through September 30, 2021.

5. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred stock
The Board of Directors has designated a total of 5,000,000 shares of its Series A preferred stock to be issued. Although the Company has accrued a $5,000 expense in connection with this, the Series A preferred stock had not been issued as of September 30, 2021. (See Note 9 – Subsequent Events)
Common stock
At September 30, 2021, the Company had 92,100,000 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. These shares included shares of common stock issued during this first fiscal quarter in lieu of services, in the Company’s efforts to conserve limited liquidity, as follows:
On September 30, 2021, the board of directors approved the issuance of 80,000 shares of common stock in lieu of a cash payment of $2,000 in consideration of accounting services.
6. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
A reconciliation of the components of basic and diluted net income per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 is presented below:
Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 | ||||||||||||
Net Income | Shares | Per Share | ||||||||||
Basic Earnings per Share: | ||||||||||||
Net income attributable to common stock | $ | 4,585 | 92,100,000 | $ | (0.00 | ) |
The numerator for basic earnings per share is net income attributable to common stockholders. The numerator for diluted earnings per share is net income available to common stockholders.
7. INCOME TAXES
Net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $71,921 at September 30, 2021 are available to offset future taxable income. This results in a net deferred tax asset, assuming an effective tax rate of 21% of approximately $15,103 at September 30, 2021.
8. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net gain of $4,585. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $67,336 as of September 30, 2021. These factors, among others, raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. Although we can provide no assurances, we believe our cash on hand together with revenues generated by production income will provide sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our business for the next twelve months.
In the event the Company experiences liquidity and capital resource constraints because of unanticipated operating losses, we may need to raise additional capital in the form of equity and/or debt financing. If such additional capital is not available on terms acceptable to us or at all, then we may need to curtail our operations and/or take additional measures to conserve and manage our liquidity and capital resources, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and our ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2021, the Company completed its Private Placement of 20,000,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of $500,000.00. The proceeds are being utilized to fund existing project operations, new acquisitions and for general corporate purposes
In October 2021, the Company issued the 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A shares of preferred stock that were previously designated but unissued to the Company’s founder Mr. Herzog in lieu of work performed in organizing the Corporation. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has voting rights of ten votes per share, though is not entitled to receive dividends. Additionally, each share of Series A preferred shares may be converted at $0.01 per share into ten shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock.
In November 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement with Blackrock to acquire a 50% working interest in the Pushmataha Gas Field, comprising 6 leases covering an area of 3,840 acres located in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma. Blackrock has previously entered into a separate option to acquire a 100% working interest from a third party. The Pushmataha Gas Field has 7 gas wells ranging in depth from 10,000-12,300 feet. The wells were temporarily inactive since 2019 due to line leaks and lower gas prices, though in April 2021 these wells were put back online and have been producing 100-300 MCFD. Not all the wells are in production and the Company believes with additional reworking and recompletion efforts it can further optimize the production potential of this field. Newer modern day technologies could also have an important impact on the economics for this asset. To exercise the option, the Company will be required to commit the purchase price of $250,000 in cash of which a $5,000 non-refundable deposit has already been made. The Company’s intention is to complete this acquisition before the end of calendar 2021. The Company will further need to expend an unspecified additional amount of capital toward reworking the field as it reasonably determines. At this stage the Company anticipates such expenditure to be up to $100,000, though there can be no guarantee that such amount will be sufficient or what results it will achieve. Under the terms of the Joint Venture agreement, after deducting operating costs including a flat sum of $1,000 per month to Blackrock as operator, the Company shall receive all net income from revenues of the project until it has recouped $125,000; thereafter, the parties shall equally split the income.
Outside of the above, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of these financial statements and has disclosed that there are no such events that are material to the financial statements to be disclosed.

Section 2. Stockholder Action Without Meetings. Any action required by the Nevada Revised Statutes to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Action taken pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the provisions of Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

SECTION 5. Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.

JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN BLACKROCK ENERGY, LLC and OKMIN RESOURCES, INC.
– BLACKROCK LEASES
Blackrock Energy, LLC (Blackrock) has entered into an agreement to purchase the following oil/gas leases in Okmulgee County and Muskogee County, Oklahoma:
Chain Lease (100%)
Burke Lease (100%)
Preston Lease (100%)
Hollingsworth Lease (50%)
Goldner Lease (100%)
Peevler Lease (100%)
Anthony Lease (100%)
Calley Lease (100%)
Abbey Lease (100%)
Duffy Lease (100%)
Okmin Resources, Inc. (Okmin) desires to joint-venture with Blackrock in the purchase and development of these Blackrock leases (the “Project”). An outline of the deal structure is as follows:
1. | Okmin will make a payment of $50,000 to Blackrock upon the signing of this Joint Venture Agreement (“JV”) in exchange for 50% working interest in the leases (except for the Hollingsworth lease). Okmin and Blackrock will hold 25% working interest each in Hollingsworth. Okmin is entitled to its pro rata share of the profit from oil/gas sales. |
2. | Okmin commits to provide up to $50,000 of additional funding (the “Additional Funding”) as the rehabilitation and development of the Project reasonably requires to be utilized for legal fees, electric meter fees, repairs, insurance policies, rig time and other work to enhance production from the leases in Phase I. When workflow and cash needs allow, Okmin can pay part of the Additional Funding out of its pro rata share of net profits from oil/gas sales. |
3. | Blackrock will operate the leases as operator of record and will diligently manage every aspect of the leases to increase production, revenues, profits, and value. Blackrock will not charge an operator’s fee for these services but will be paid its pro rata share of net profits. |
4. | Blackrock will maintain a bank account for these leases, manage the finances and will provide quarterly accounting summaries to Okmin, or possibly more frequently as reasonably requested to assist Okmin in its own reporting requirements. |
5. | Blackrock will have its accounting firm generate the annual tax returns for the joint venture. Cost of the tax returns will be paid out of cash flows. |
6. | Blackrock will utilize its best efforts to negotiate and obtain best pricing on all parts, labor, repairs, enhancement work and other associated costs. Blackrock will bill these expenses to Okmin within the framework of the Additional Funding “at cost” with no markup. |
7. | Blackrock will have its oil/gas law firm draft a suitable Joint Operating Agreement and assignments of working interest on behalf of both Blackrock and Okmin, and the cost of this legal work will be paid by Okmin within the framework of the Additional Funding. Okmin may also have its law firm review such agreements. |
8. | Both Blackrock and Okmin understand that the Additional Funding by Okmin is for Phase I work. If the venture is successful and subject to the mutual agreement of both parties, there could be a desire by both parties to continue with a Phase II round of the Project to be outlined in a future agreement. Phase II work could include additional enhancements such as water flooding, recompletions to tap “behind pipe” reserves, drilling new wells or other options. |
9. | Both Blackrock and Okmin understand that oil/gas ventures can be risky and there is no guarantee of results, cash flows, or profits. |
10. | Okmin and Blackrock agree to form a strategic alliance to seek out additional joint venture opportunities together beyond the Project leases. |

This Operating Agreement is entered into this _______ day of ________________, 2021, by and between PETRON OIL AND GAS, LLC, a Kansas Limited Liability Company (hereinafter referred to as “Operator”), OKMIN OPERATIONS, LLC, a Kansas Limited Liability Company (hereinafter referred to as “Non-Operator One”), EARNEST ASHLOCK (hereinafter referred to as “Non-Operator Two”), and J & S MCCOY ENTERPRISES, LLC, a Kansas Limited Liability Company (hereinafter referred to as “Non-Operator Three”)(Non-Operator One, Non-Operator Two and Non-Operator Three all sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Non-Operators” or as a “Non-Operator”).
WHEREAS, Non-Operators are the owners of all (meaning 100%) of the working interest, this being an 87.5% net revenue interest (“NRI”), in the following oil and gas lease (hereinafter referred to as the “Vitt Lease”):
LESSOR: | Edward Vitt and Marilyn G. Vitt | ||
LESSEE: | Jon McCoy | ||
DATE OF LEASE: | 04/20/1983 | ||
RECORDED: | on 04/22/1983 | at Book 93M | Pages 369-370 |
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: | NW/4 of Section 1, Township 29S, Range 20E, Neosho County, Kansas |
and the working interest share and NRI of Non-Operators is shown on the attached Exhibit A.
WHEREAS, Operator agrees to operate the Vitt Lease on behalf of Operator and the Non-Operators based on the terms and conditions of this Operating Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. | Non-Operators hereby designate Operator as the operator of the Vitt Lease. |
2. | The parties agree that there shall be an upfront charge of $3,000 by Operator for administrative overhead, and reimbursements of up $1,000 for personal and travel expenses, per month for the first three months, and beyond that the parties will mutually agree on charges by Operator for administrative overhead. Non-Operators agree to pay their proportionate share of expenses for all third-party charges for materials and services provided to the Vitt Lease, such share to be based on the percentage of the working interest owned by each Non-Operator. Non-Operators shall each be billed their proportionate share of these third-party costs based on their working interest in the Vitt Lease. Operator agrees that all third-party charges for materials and services provided to the Vitt Lease shall be billed to Non-Operators at actual cost with no “mark up” on such charges. |
3. | Operator agrees to provide Non-Operators a full and complete Joint Interest Billing for the Vitt Lease on a monthly basis according to the terms and conditions of this Operating Agreement. Further, Operator agrees to promptly, upon request, provide Non-Operators with copies of back-up invoices for all Joint Interest Billings to Non-Operators. Operator shall maintain a separate bank account for Vitt Lease operations and will provide monthly accounting summaries to Non-Operators. |
4. | Operator shall at all times during the term of this Operating Agreement (i) maintain its status as a licensed Operator of oil and gas leases and wells with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), and (ii) operate the Vitt Lease in compliance with Kansas law and KCC rules and regulations and any Federal Agency having jurisdiction over the Vitt Lease. |
5. | Operator shall operate the Vitt Lease according to the reasonable prudent operator standard prevailing in Southeast Kansas and shall maintain all reasonable insurance policies, including but not limited to casualty and liability insurance naming Non-Operators as additional insureds. At all times while operations are conducted hereunder, Operator and any contractors and subcontractors shall fully comply with Kansas workers compensation laws. |
6. | Proceeds from the sale of oil and/or gas produced from the Vitt Lease shall be distributed directly to the working interest owners according to the working interest shares shown on the attached Exhibit A. |
7. | This Operating Agreement shall be effective immediately upon the assignment to Non-Operators of their interests in the Vitt Lease. |
8. | Notwithstanding Section 2 above, for the purpose of this Operating Agreement, Non-Operator One shall pay all third-party charges up to a total of $50,000.00 for enhancement work, repairs, reworks, recompletions, treatments, insurance, or other work necessary to attempt to increase oil and gas production and also including legal fees and administrative overhead and reimbursements as set forth in Section 2 above. Thereafter, except as provided in section 11 below, Non-Operators shall pay for Vitt Lease third-party charges proportional to their working interest share shown on the attached Exhibit A. |
9. | The liability of the parties shall be several and not joint or collective. Each party shall be responsible only for its respective obligations and shall therefore be liable for only its proportionate share of the costs of operating the Vitt Lease. It is not the intention of the parties to create nor should this Operating Agreement be construed as establishing a mining or other partnership, joint venture or association or render the parties in any manner liable as partners. |
10. | Operator shall have the right pursuant to the terms of this Operating Agreement to incur any Vitt Lease operating expenditures up to the sum of $2,500.00. However, for any anticipated expenditure that will exceed the sum of $2,500.00, Non-Operators shall have the right to approve such expenditure. This limitation on expenditures shall not apply in the case of an emergency. Therefore, if an emergency situation is deemed to exist in the sole discretion of the Operator, Operator is hereby authorized on behalf of Non-Operators to spend within reason such sums as are necessary to resolve such emergency. |
11. | If any Non-Operator does not approve drilling a new well or wells on the Vitt Lease, the Non-Operator(s) who approve the drilling shall have the option and right to proceed with drilling such new well(s) and in such case the approving Non-Operators shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with drilling, completing, producing and plugging the new well(s) and shall be entitled to receive all oil and gas production from the new well(s). The non-approving Non-Operator’s share of oil and gas production from the new well(s) shall be proportionally divided between the approving Non-Operators. Nothing herein precludes the approving and non-approving Non-Operators from mutually agreeing to terms to allow the non-approving Non-Operator to participate in oil and gas production from the new well(s). |
12. | In the event Non-Operators fail to pay any undisputed Joint Interest Billing to Operator within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Joint Interest Billing, then and in that event, Operator shall be entitled to charge interest on any unpaid balance at the annual rate of Twelve Percent (12%) per annum. |
13. | In the event Non-Operators fail to pay any Joint Interest Billing due to the Operator and the same becomes delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days, then and in that event, the Operator shall have the right to file an Operator’s Lien against the working interest of the delinquent Non-Operator and shall be entitled to utilize all legal remedies that are available to Operator so that the Operator can be paid for all Joint Interest Billings incurred in the operation of the Vitt Lease. Further, should Non-Operator fail to pay any Joint Interest Billing due Operator for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days, then and in that event, Operator may declare the delinquent Non-Operator as being in substantial default and Operator shall be entitled to direct the crude oil buyer to suspend all payments of production proceeds to the delinquent Non-Operator and Operator shall be entitled to assess a repayment charge of 110% (meaning, actual amount plus 10%) of the past due Joint Interest Billings which Operator shall be entitled to recover prior to the delinquent Non-Operator being restored to his receipt of oil production proceeds. |
14. | In the event that Operator or any Non-Operator violates any of the terms and conditions of this Operating Agreement and if legal proceedings are brought to enforce the terms and conditions of this Operating Agreement, then and in that event, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as a part of the terms of this Operating Agreement. |
15. | The Non-Operators hereby designate Operator as the operator of the Vitt Lease for so long as Non-Operators are working interest owners in the Vitt Lease. Notwithstanding the above, Non-Operators may remove Operator of the Vitt Lease and terminate this Agreement if Operator (a) becomes a debtor in bankruptcy, or (b) commits a material breach or default hereunder and fails to cure, or commence and thereafter diligently proceed to cure, such breach or default within 30 days after receipt of written notice from a Non-Operator describing the breach or default or (c) is deemed guilty of willful or gross negligence in the operation of the Vitt Lease, or (d) is not timely paying third-party vendors who perform services or provide materials or equipment to the Vitt Lease, provided however that non-payment of vendors will be excused if Non-Operators have failed to timely pay their share of Joint Interest Billings. |
16. | This Operating Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns. |
17. | Whenever this Operating Agreement requires the approval of or action by the Non-Operators, such approval or action shall be based on the affirmative vote of those owning a majority of the non-operating working interest. |
18. | This Operating Agreement may be executed by the parties by Fax, or by copy signed, scanned and sent via Email, and this Operating Agreement may be executed in counterparts and shall be deemed one document. |
19. | If any term or provision of this Operating Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Operating Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Operating Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. |
20. | This Operating Agreement has been made in, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Kansas. |
21. | This Operating Agreement constitutes the entire agreement concerning the operation of the Vitt Lease and may be modified only in writing signed by all parties. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Operating Agreement is executed and effective the day and year first above written.

JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT – WEST SHEPPARD POOL FIELD
BETWEEN BLACKROCK ENERGY, LLC and OKMIN ENERGY LLC
Blackrock Energy, LLC (Blackrock) has entered into an agreement with Cane Creek Energy Partners, Inc. to purchase certain oil/gas leases in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma as listed and further detailed on Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
Okmin Energy LLC or its designated subsidiary nominee (Okmin) desires to joint-venture with Blackrock in the purchase and development of the West Sheppard Pool Field including any and all equipment as is included in the Exhibit A and Exhibit B documents (the “Project”).
An outline of the deal structure is as follows:
1. | Okmin will make a payment of $150,000 (including a $5,000 deposit previously paid, ie $145,000) to Blackrock upon the signing of this Joint Venture Agreement (“JV”) in exchange for 50% working interest in the leases comprising the Project, Okmin is entitled to 50% of revenues from oil/gas sales. |
2. | Blackrock and Okmin agree that net income from the operations at West Sheppard Pool will be paid to Okmin until the sum of $75,000 has been repaid. Blackrock will be paid a flat sum of $500/month, which will be deducted from its 50% share of future net income. At the point that $75,000 has been repaid to Okmin, thereafter, Blackrock and Okmin will split the net income with 50% to Blackrock and 50% to Okmin. Net income is defined as gross oil/gas sales, less royalties, taxes, parts, labor, electrical costs, accounting fees, subcontractor expenses and any other repair or workover costs required to maintain and operate the leases at the West Sheppard Pool Field. |
3. | Okmin commits to provide such additional funding as it deems necessary (the “Additional Funding”) for the rehabilitation and development of the Project to be utilized for legal fees, electric meter fees, repairs, insurance policies, rig time and other work to enhance production from the leases in the West Sheppard Pool Field. |
4. | Blackrock confirms that pursuant to its purchase agreement with Cane Creek Energy Partners, Inc. it has assumed rights, titles and interests in the Project and hereby agrees to assign at closing to Okmin its 50% share of such rights, titles and interests. |
5. | Blackrock will operate the leases as operator of record and will diligently manage every aspect of the leases to increase production, revenues, profits, and value. Blackrock will not charge an operator’s fee for these services but will be paid its pro rata share of net profits. |
6. | Blackrock will maintain a bank account for these leases, manage the finances and will provide quarterly accounting summaries to Okmin, or possibly more frequently as reasonably requested to assist Okmin in its own reporting requirements. |
7. | Blackrock will have its accounting firm generate the annual tax returns for the joint venture. Cost of the tax returns will be paid out of cash flows. |
8. | Blackrock will utilize its best efforts to negotiate and obtain best pricing on all parts, labor, repairs, enhancement work and other associated costs. Blackrock will bill these expenses to Okmin within the framework of the Additional Funding “at cost” with no markup. |
9. | Blackrock will have its oil/gas law firm draft all assignments of working interest on behalf of both Blackrock and Okmin, and the cost of this legal work will be paid by Okmin within the framework of the Additional Funding. Okmin may also have its law firm review such agreements. Additionally, a West Sheppard Pool Joint Operating Agreement will be signed concurrently with this agreement between Blackrock and Okmin. |
10. | Both Blackrock and Okmin understand that initially Additional Funding by Okmin is for Phase I work. If the venture is successful and subject to the mutual agreement of both parties, there could be a desire by both parties to continue with a Phase II development of the Project, which might include additional enhancements such as water flooding, recompletions to tap “behind pipe” reserves, drilling new wells or other options. |
11. | Both Blackrock and Okmin understand that oil/gas ventures can be risky and there is no guarantee of results, cash flows, or profits. |
12. | This agreement between Okmin and Blackrock forms part of the strategic alliance between both companies to seek out joint venture opportunities together. Notwithstanding the above, Okmin and Blackrock have previously formed a Joint Venture Agreement for acquisition of other oil and gas leases in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma. That joint venture is separate and distinct from this Joint Venture Agreement for the West Sheppard Pool Field. |
13. | To the extent that either Okmin or Blackrock intend to introduce to the Project or bring in any farm-in partners or add any additional parties to this Joint Venture Agreement on the West Sheppard Pool Field, the consent of both parties shall be required to admit such a new entity as a participant. |
14. | This Joint Venture Agreement – West Sheppard Pool Field shall not be effective and binding on the parties until Blackrock exercises its option to participate in the venture in writing. |
