TUSCALOOSA TREND OPPORTUNITY

I have a strong interest and infatuation with the Tuscaloosa sand interval opportunity in the Biloxi Marshland project.

Meridian Resources (TMR) alluded to the major opportunity involving the Tuscaloosa Sand Interval during its May 9th teleconference. This opportunity is located on the Biloxi Marshlands Corp. property and could be HUGE.

This major opportunity is also referenced BLMC’s 2004 Annual Report of Biloxi Marshlands Corp.; see www.biloximarshlandscorp.com.

That report issued by Biloxi Marsh Lands Corp. (BLMC) reads, in part, ”we believe that the development of the deeper TUSCALOOSA interval could prove to represent significant value for the Company and its shareholders.”

I noticed in early 2004, Meridian had an engineer “dedicated full time to evaluation of Tusc opportuntiies.” Does anyone know to what extent Meridian (TMR) is focusing its energies on this opportunity? Based on the May 9th conference call, this project was a high priority. Have they secured a partner as yet? How extensive is a partnership interest on the project?

Based on the TMR conference call, TMR would get a 25% take.

The land owner(s), including Biloxi Marsh Land Corp., would get approximately 25% royalty interest for revenues retrieved.

From what I understand,TMR has possession of the old ARCO logs? I’d like to know more detail about the ARCO experience. My understanding is that extensive, expensive ($50 Million in 1980s dollars), exploration took place on BLMC land. That experience and the circumstances surrounding it may shed light on the probability of Meridian’s potential success possibilities as well as the benefits to be reaped by BLMC shareholders.

If Meridian is successful with the Tuscaloosa project, we’re talking in excess of a trillion cubic feet of natural gas. I know that right now, it’s pie in the sky. But hitting the Tuscaloosa is the ultimate find. The Tuscaloosa Trend has been cited as the most signficant natural gas discovery in the U.S.

Amoco has had major success; eg. see www.gasandoil.com/goc/discover/dix83035.htm - 5k. Several articles can be retrieved on the internet relating to the Tuscaloosa Trend. The Trend is in St. Bernard Parish on Biloxi Marsh Land Corp. property. (BLMC.pk) It also is on BLMC project property owned by the State of Louisiana.

Has anyone read "No. 1 Play in the U.S.A.-Summary of Activity In the Tuscaloosa Trend of South Central Louisiana" by Frank W. Harrison, Jr.? I'd like to get access to that study.

My understanding is that 3-D Seismics were done by Meridian on BLMC property encompassing the Tuscaloosa Sand Interval as part of Phase 4. Meridian currently has a lease on a portion of that property. Biloxi Marshland Corp. took delivery of the 3-D Seismics for Phase 4 at the end of April, 2006; BLMC has retained a geologist and 2 geophysicists to evaluate the 3-D Seismics and ascertain the extent of prospect opportunities.) Also see BLMC's web site: www.biloximarshlandscorp.com.

Any further observations or insights into the Tuscaloosa opportunity are appreciated.
