Management Team Tony Roosevelt Jr. Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board Jimmy C. Hawkins President and Chief Operating Officer Jerrel Branson Chief Development and Financial Officer Paul Buckner Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary A 64-year veteran of the oil and gas industry, Tony has had a career marked by diversity and success. Starting in the 1960’s he founded General Petroleum Corp., Texas Interstate Oil & Gas Co., followed by General Gas Co. and Caledonia Energy Partners. These operations included domestic and international activities and each were characterized by significant growth and value creation. Tony’s ongoing focus lies in developing the Company’s RR-Googins Field. Jimmy began his career in the U.S. in 1985 as a reservoir engineer for Santa Fe Minerals. He then joined the Kuwait Oil Company, working on projects in 18 countries while leading the long-range planning team. In the 1990s, he created a Field Development Plan for Malaysia CAA PM3 and managed the first phase, recovering over 500 Million BOE. In the early 2000s, he joined Tony Roosevelt to develop the Company’s RR-Googins Field. Jimmy pioneered innovative extraction techniques and designed horizontal wells for CO2 EOR. He holds a BSc in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University in 1984. After a decade of project development financing for First City- Houston in Singapore from 1975 to 1977, Jerrel opened the petroleum consultant office of McCord-Lewis, retained by the governments of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the PRC for engineering studies. In 1984 he co-founded VAALCO Energy, which developed a giant oilfield in the Eastern Hemisphere. He later commercially developed some of his patents, focusing on CO2 recovery from industrial sources. In 2022, he joined Roosevelt Resources, bringing his major project development background. He graduated from Rice University in 1972. Paul joined Roosevelt Resources as in-house counsel and Chief Administrative Officer in 2020 following 15 years’ experience as General Counsel and VP- Human Resources of a family-owned oil and gas company. For 12 years prior to joining that company, Paul was in private law practice. He holds degrees from the University of Texas-Austin (1989)and St. Mary’s University School of Law (1992). 11

All num bers are gross using 16,208 gross acres of the project and the studies were averaged to the acreage. Estimates of EURs are also dependent on many factors, including the costs of development and operations, capital expenditures to be made and timing thereof and actual prices received for oil and natural gas.

Conclusion Significant Opportunity in Safe Operating Environment Science–CO2 EOR is proven technology in San Andres Development will be accomplished in phases as development occurs Unitization is in process Project has been significantly De-risked – San Andres oil in many other nearby CO2 EOR projects that have produced over 1 billion boe is well-established Project Expansion Options – we believe our EOR technique should be applicable to adjacent and other known locations 19
