Going Concern	Note 3. Going Concern The Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company generated a net loss of $(10,785,683) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $(14,695,711) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was comprised of, among other things, certain non-cash items, including: (i) change in fair value of derivative liability of $5,803,791; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt of $605,507; (iii) amortization of debt discount of $873,776; (iv) depreciation, depletion and amortization of $698,061; and (v) accretion of asset retirement obligation of $67,599. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a stockholders’ equity of $11,079,118, long-term debt of $38,849,855 and a working capital deficiency of $9,451,778. The largest components of current liabilities creating this working capital deficiency is drawings by Simson-Maxwell against its bank credit facility of $4,324,791, accrued interest on notes payable to Discover of $4,594,469 and a derivative liability of $3,319,210. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to utilize the resources in place to generate future profitable operations, to develop additional acquisition opportunities, and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from business operations when they come due. Management believes the Company may be able to continue to develop new opportunities and may be able to obtain additional funds through debt and / or equity financings to facilitate its business strategy; however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.
