     Pursuant to Rule 13d‑2(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the undersigned hereby amend and supplement the Schedule 13D Statement filed by the undersigned on May 27, 2015 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 11, 2015, that certain Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2017, and that certain Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 11, 2017 the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Stock”), of Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Issuer”), to update certain information with respect to contracts entered into by certain of the undersigned related to certain securities of the Issuer. Unless otherwise indicated, all defined terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those set forth in the Schedule 13D.

6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs to the end of Item 6:

On September 18, 2020, McCabe Petroleum Corporation (“MPC”) loaned Issuer $1,500,000, evidenced by a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Initial Note”), as amended by that certain Amendment to Promissory Note dated as of September 22, 2020 (the “Note Amendment” and, collectively, the “MPC Note”). The note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and provides for payment of the principal amount along with all accrued and unpaid interest in one lump sum payment on its maturity date of May 10, 2021. In connection with the proposed business combination transaction between Issuer and Metamaterial Inc., an Ontario business corporation headquartered in Nova Scotia, Canada (“Metamaterial”), the MPC Note provides the following requirements on the use of proceeds of the loan as follows: (i) the Issuer will lend $500,000 to Metamaterial pursuant to an 8% Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Metamaterial Note”); (ii) the Issuer will retain and use $500,000 for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with the proposed business combination transaction with Metamaterial; and (iii) Issuer will deposit $500,000 into an escrow account, to be held in escrow. If Issuer and Metamaterial enter into a definitive agreement by the later of November 2, 2020 or such later date that is agreed to by Issuer and Metamaterial in writing, the $500,000 from the escrow account will be released to Issuer and Issuer will lend this amount to Metamaterial pursuant to another convertible promissory note (the “Second Metamaterial Note”). If Issuer does not enter into a definitive agreement by the later of November 2, 2020 or such later date that is agreed to by Issuer and Metamaterial in writing, the $500,000 from this escrow account will be released back to MPC and deducted from the principal amount outstanding under the MPC Note.
 
The MPC Note is secured by Issuer’s pledge of the Metamaterial Note and the Second Metamaterial Note (if issued). If Issuer and Metamaterial do not enter into a definitive agreement by the later of November 2, 2020 or such later date that is agreed to by Issuer and Metamaterial in writing, then promptly after that date, Issuer will assign to MPC the Metamaterial Note in full repayment and discharge of $500,000 (plus accrued and unpaid interested on the Metamaterial Note) of the principal amount of the MPC Note, and the remaining $500,000 (less accrued and unpaid interested on the Metamaterial Note) of the principal amount, plus all unpaid interest accrued under the MPC Note, will remain subject to the MPC Note. If a definitive agreement is entered into by the later of November 2, 2020 or such later date that is agreed to in writing Issuer and Metamaterial, but the proposed business combination transaction is terminated prior to closing or otherwise does not close by the maturity date of the MPC Note, then Issuer will assign to MPC both the Metamaterial Note and Second Metamaterial Note in full repayment and discharge of $1,000,000 (plus accrued and unpaid interested on the Metamaterial Note and Second Metamaterial Note) of the principal amount of the MPC Note, and the remaining $500,000 (less accrued and unpaid interested on the Metamaterial Note and Second Metamaterial Note) of the principal amount, plus all unpaid interest accrued under the MPC Note, will remain subject to the MPC Note.
 
The MPC Note also provides that if (i) Issuer and Metamaterial do not enter into a definitive agreement by the later of November 2, 2020 or such later date that is agreed to in writing by Issuer and Metamaterial, or (ii) Issuer and Metamaterial enter into a definitive agreement but the proposed transaction is terminated prior to closing or otherwise does not close by the maturity date of the MPC Note, then at such time and until the maturity date, MPC will have the right, at its option, to convert up to $500,000 of the remaining principal amount of the MPC Note, plus all unpaid interest accrued under the MPC Note, into shares of Issuer common stock at a conversion price of $0.375 per share. Additionally, if the proposed transaction with Metamaterial closes, all principal and interest under the MPC Note will automatically convert into shares of Issuer common stock at $0.375 per share.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the MPC Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the actual text of the Initial Note and the Note Amendment, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.11 and 99.12, respectively.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

Item 7 is hereby amended by adding the following:

Exhibit 99.11 – 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, dated as of September 18, 2020, made by Issuer for the benefit of MPC in the principle amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Exhibit 99.12 – Amendment to Promissory Note, dated as of September 22, 2020, by and between Issuer and MPC.




After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

DATED: October 12, 2020
