Oil and gas properties, located in the eastern Utah tar sands, includes undeveloped lands, unproved properties, research and development equipment, mining equipment and seismic costs where management has not fully evaluated for technical feasibility and commercial viability.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company holds oil and gas assets representing more than 10% of the total assets, which are primarily the PR Spring facility costs, which includes all direct costs incurred

to acquire or construct the assets, including tanks, buildings, extraction processing equipment, shop, lab and equipment. The costs of the PR Spring facility under construction are capitalized as part of oil and gas properties. These costs include direct materials, labor, and overhead attributable to the construction activities. As the facility is not yet operational, depreciation has not commenced. The construction project is classified as "construction in progress" until the PR Spring facility is placed into service. Once the asset is ready for its intended use, depreciation will begin based on its estimated useful life. The Company evaluates oil and gas properties for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10-35. If indicators of impairment arise, the Company will assess the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value by comparing the asset’s carrying amount to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If impairment is identified, the asset will be written down to its fair value. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has determined that there has been no impairment of the PR Spring facility under construction, as there are no indicators suggesting a decline in the asset's recoverable value. The Company has no proved reserves, and there have been no significant changes in reserves during the reporting period. The capitalized costs related to these oil and gas assets amount to $8,751,917 recorded at full cost, are not being depreciated and amortized as the facility is still under construction. Additions during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, relate to development and construction of the extraction facility at PR Spring. There were no costs associated with well exploration during the periods ended September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024, respectively. Disposals were $252,334 and $0 in the periods ended September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024, respectively.

PR Springs has not commenced active extraction of reserves. Consequently, the Company is not required to provide reserve quantities or future cash flow disclosures in accordance with ASC 935-235-50-2. Based on our analysis of the asset group, we have determined that no impairment is necessary as of the reporting date. The carrying amounts of the development-stage extraction facility and related oil and gas properties are fully supported by projected future cash flows, which are derived from reasonable and supportable assumptions regarding commodity prices, expected production rates, and operating costs once the assets are operational. Additionally, no significant adverse changes in the economic environment, regulatory landscape, or project costs have occurred to suggest that the recoverable amount of these assets is less than their carrying value. As such, the assets continue to meet the criteria for capitalization, and no impairment loss has been recognized in accordance with ASC 360-10-35. Further, under ASC 932-360-35-19, the impairment analysis specifically considers the recoverability of costs capitalized for oil and gas properties in the development phase. As these costs are expected to be recoverable through future production, no impairment charge was required as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
