DORCHESTER MINERALS, L.P. ANNOUNCES ITS SECOND QUARTER DISTRIBUTION

DALLAS, TEXAS — Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (NASDAQ:DMLP) announced today the Partnership’s second quarter 2018 cash distribution. The distribution of $0.537264 per common unit represents activity for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 and is payable on August 10, 2018 to common unitholders of record as of July 30, 2018.

Cash receipts attributable to the Partnership’s Royalty Properties during the second quarter totaled approximately $12.3 million. These receipts generally reflect oil sales during March 2018 through May 2018 and gas sales during February 2018 through April 2018. Cash receipts attributable to the Partnership’s Net Profits Interests during the second quarter totaled approximately $2.8 million. These receipts reflect oil and gas sales from the properties underlying the Net Profits Interests generally during February 2018 through April 2018.

Cash receipts attributable to lease bonus and other income during the second quarter totaled approximately $4.2 million.

Dorchester Minerals, L.P. is a Dallas-based owner of producing and non-producing oil and natural gas mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and leasehold interests located in 25 states. Its common units trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol DMLP.

This release serves as qualified notice to nominees as provided for under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b)(4) and (d). Please note that 100 percent of the Partnership’s distributions to foreign investors are attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business. Accordingly, all of the Partnership’s distributions to foreign investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at the highest effective tax rate for individuals or corporations, as applicable. Nominees, and not the Partnership, are treated as withholding agents responsible for withholding distributions received by them on behalf of foreign investors.
