Overview of the 6.5-Acre East Texas Parcel

The subject property consists of approximately 6.5 acres of undeveloped land situated  near the E Camden / Shreveport / Waskom, Texas region, an area historically associated with oil, gas, and mineral activity. The parcel was acquired through a tax deed process, consistent with CORE Tax Deeds’ investment strategy of targeting non-homestead, non-occupied properties, such as vacant land and infill acreage.

As with all acquisitions, due diligence was conducted prior to purchase, including title review, lien research, and verification of vacancy. Following acquisition, the asset entered CORE’s standard post-acquisition administration workflow, which includes evaluation of surface rights and any associated mineral interests.

What Is Mineral Interest Administration?

Mineral interest administration refers to the process of identifying, verifying, and managing subsurface rights associated with a property. In Texas, mineral rights can be severed from surface ownership, meaning that ownership of land does not automatically guarantee ownership of oil, gas, or other minerals beneath the surface.

Key elements of mineral interest administration typically include:

• Reviewing deed records and historical conveyances

• Confirming whether mineral rights are fully or partially retained

• Monitoring existing or future leasing activity

• Ensuring accurate ownership records with county authorities

For investors and asset managers alike, proper mineral administration helps preserve asset value while maintaining accurate reporting and compliance.

Why East Texas Mineral Interests Matter

East Texas—including areas near E Camden, Shreveport, and Waskom, Texas has a long history of energy production, and even small acreage parcels can retain fractional or legacy mineral interests. While not all parcels contain producing minerals, responsible administration ensures that:

• Any existing mineral interests are properly documented

• Ownership records remain current

• The asset is positioned correctly for future disposition or monetization

Importantly, mineral interest administration does not imply current production, future drilling activity, or guaranteed income. Instead, it reflects prudent asset oversight and long-term stewardship.

How CORE Tax Deeds Approaches Mineral Oversight

CORE Tax Deeds applies the same disciplined, process-driven approach to mineral interests that it applies to surface real estate assets. This includes:

• Title and deed analysis to identify mineral reservations

• Coordination with third-party professionals when necessary

• Ongoing recordkeeping aligned with internal reporting standards

This approach supports transparency for stakeholders and aligns with CORE’s broader commitment to responsible investing and municipal revenue restoration.

Alignment With CORE’s Responsible Investment Model

Mineral interest administration is one component of a broader investment philosophy centered on:

• Acquiring vacant, non-homestead properties

• Avoiding displacement of occupants

• Returning distressed properties to productive use

• Supporting local governments through tax revenue recovery

In more than 30 years of combined experience, including the track record of founder John Berlet, no occupied property has ever been displaced at acquisition. Properties with structures undergo vacancy verification, and most assets consist of vacant land, infill lots, or commercial parcels.

Additionally, CORE Tax Deeds supports the NTLA Foundation, pledging 2% of fund profits to programs that help seniors and veterans remain in their homes.

What This Update Means for Investors

This update is administrative in nature and reflects ongoing asset management, not a change in investment strategy or expected returns. Mineral interests, when present, are treated as ancillary components of a property rather than primary investment drivers.

Investors receive regular reporting on portfolio activity, including acquisitions, dispositions, and administrative developments, under CPA-reviewed financial reporting practices.

Transparency and Long-Term Stewardship

Responsible mineral interest administration helps ensure that assets are accurately represented, properly maintained, and positioned for long-term value realization. While mineral rights can add complexity to land ownership, disciplined oversight reduces uncertainty and supports informed decision-making.

CORE Tax Deeds remains committed to transparency, compliance, and conservative reporting principles that guide every aspect of portfolio management, including mineral interest administration.
