DALLAS,
TEXAS -- Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (the "Partnership") today consummated the

in Tarrant County, Texas from multiple parties. The properties
consist of varying undivided mineral and overriding royalty interests in six
tracts totaling approximately 1820 acres in what is commonly referred to as the
Core Area of the Barnett Shale Trend. All of the mineral interests were leased
in 2003 to a predecessor of Chesapeake Energy Corporation, the current operator
of and majority working interest owner in the properties.
Approximately
577 acres of the subject lands are pooled into six units totaling 1800 acres,
approximately 1129 acres are developed on a lease basis and the remaining lands
are leased but not pooled or drilled upon. Thirty-two wells have been drilled
from eleven padsites located on or adjacent to the properties, of which
twenty-six wells are completed for production, six have been drilled but not yet
completed and one well is currently drilling. Permits have been issued for three
additional wells to be drilled on the properties. The aggregate net revenue
interest in the properties ranges from 0.5% to 20.0%. Gross production during
April 2009 from the properties was 571,015 mcf.
The
transaction was structured as a non-taxable contribution and exchange. The
contributing entities conveyed their undivided mineral and royalty interests in
the subject lands to the Partnership in exchange for 1,600,000 common limited
partnership units.
