BLMC Biloxi Marsh Lands Corporation (CE)

Biloxi Marsh Lands Corporation (PINK SHEETS:BLMC) today announces its unaudited results for the first quarter of 2014 and provides update. The Company’s revenue for the three months ending March 31, 2014 from oil and gas production for its fee lands was $111,436 compared to revenue of $150,548 in 2013.

During the first quarter of 2014, total revenues included a $233,000 loss emanating from the Company’s investment in B&L Exploration, LLC (B&L). This compares to a loss of $92,980 from B&L for the first quarter of 2013. As an operating oil and gas entity, B&L’s results included deductions for depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) costs relating to its ongoing drilling and production activities. BLMC’s share of these DD&A expenses was $229,739 and $229,948 for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Meanwhile, dividend and interest income for the first three months of 2014 was $94,072, compared to $43,503 for the first three months of 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company realized a cumulative gain from the sale of investment securities of $681,972 compared to a cumulative gain in the amount of $737,980 for the same period in 2013. Meanwhile, for the quarter, total expenses were $252,130 compared to $238,306 for the prior year. For the first quarter of 2014, the Company had net income of $256,244 or $.10 per share compared to net income of $438,544 or $.16 per share in 2013.

As of March 31, 2014, the combined gross daily production rate from 4 wells operated by the Company’s mineral lessees was approximately 3.1 million cubic feet (mmcf) of natural gas with net daily production accruing to the Company of approximately .390 mmcf. Meanwhile, as of March 31, 2014, B&L’s gross production was approximately 3.493 mmcfg and 625 barrels of oil from 6 wells with .764 mmcfg and 66 barrels of oil per day accruing to B&L.

As previously reported, the Company has filed a claim against the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for property damage and loss caused by the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO). We are continuing to pursue this claim and will keep our shareholders advised as things progress.

According to its April 24, 2014 press release, Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold, Inc. (NYSE:FCX) stated the following concerning its Inboard Lower Tertiary/Cretaceous activities: “The Highlander onshore exploratory well, in which Freeport-McMoRan Oil and Gas (FM O&G) is the operator and has a 72 percent working interest, located in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, encountered gas pay in several Wilcox and Cretaceous sands between 24,000 feet and 29,000 feet. As reported in January 2014, the wireline log and core data obtained from the Wilcox and Cretaceous sand packages indicated favorable reservoir characteristics with approximately 150 feet of net pay. The Highlander discovery well is currently in completion operations to test Lower Wilcox and Cretaceous objectives found below the salt weld. Flow testing is anticipated in the second half of 2014. FM O&G has identified multiple exploratory prospects in the Highlander area where it controls rights to approximately 56,000 gross acres.” As previously reported, B&L has been assigned and is contractually entitled to a 1.5% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest (ORRI) in the Lomond North discovery well and in all mineral leases obtained by FM O&G in its Highlander project area located in Iberia, St. Martin, Assumption and Iberville Parishes, Louisiana.

As previously reported, in addition to the Lomond North discovery well in which B&L has an ORRI, B&L has a 16.59% working interest in the Williams C-4 ST1 well that the operator Linder Oil and Gas placed on production in March 2014. As of the date of this press release, the Williams C-4 ST1 well is producing at rates of approximately 400 barrels of oil per day with approximately 180 mcf of natural gas per day.

B&L’s acquisition of approximately 50 square miles or approximately 30,000 acres of mineral and surface rights in Calhoun and Victoria County, Texas is identified as B&L’s Lago Verde 3D Seismic Project. As previously reported, B&L successfully placed a significant working interest in its Lago Verde project with the Bass Group with main offices in Fort Worth, Texas. The current evaluation of the processed 3D seismic data indicates multiple prospects and additional prospect leads. BOPCO, the operating company for the Bass Group, will operate any wells that may be drilled within this Lago Verde project area. B&L retained a 33.5% ground floor working interest in the Lago Verde project. As of this time, the anticipated timeline for the commencement of drilling operations on the Lago Verde multi-well drilling program remains the latter part of the second quarter of 2014. In the initial round of drilling, B&L and the other working interest owners plan to drill four to five prospects.

B&L was organized as a limited liability Company (LLC) under the laws of Louisiana in July of 2006. B&L’s members are BLMC and Lake Eugenie Land & Development, Inc. (LKEU), which have membership percentages of 75% and 25%, respectively.

William B. Rudolf, President and CEO, commented: “The combination of the Company’s 90,000 acre fee land and mineral position in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, B&L’s approximately 30,000 acre Lago Verde mineral acreage position in south Texas, 5,000 acre Eugene Island Block 74 in offshore Louisiana waters, plus the over 56,000 acre Highlander project area in south central Louisiana in which B&L is contractually entitled to a 1.5% overriding royalty interest gives the Company and its shareholders exposure to opportunities which we have not seen in the past. We are hopeful that this diversity of mineral interest created by the Company’s investment in B&L will ultimately lead to significant increase in shareholder value.”
