<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">On October 2, 2017, Buford P. Berry, a manager of Dorchester Minerals Management GP LLC (the &ldquo;General Partner&rdquo;), the general partner of the general partner of Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (the &ldquo;Partnership&rdquo;) passed away. Mr. Berry served as a manager and a member of the Advisory Committee of the General Partner since February 2003.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">Following Mr. Berry<font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">&rsquo;s passing, the number of members on the Advisory Committee, which also serves as the audit committee and the compensation committee of the General Partner, was reduced from three to two members. As a result, the Partnership is no longer compliant with Listing Rules 5615(a)(4)(C) and 5605(c)(2)(A) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (&ldquo;Nasdaq&rdquo;), which require that an audit committee consist of at least three members, each of whom is independent. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, on October 4, 2017, the Partnership notified Nasdaq of Mr. Berry&rsquo;s passing and the resulting non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5615(a)(4)(C) and 5605(c)(2)(A).</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">On October 6, 2017, the Partnership received a letter from Nasdaq acknowledging the Partnership<font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">&rsquo;s non-compliance with Nasdaq&rsquo;s audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq&rsquo;s Listing Rule 5605. The Nasdaq letter further provides that, consistent with Nasdaq&rsquo;s Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Partnership a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows: (a) until the earlier of the Partnership&rsquo;s next annual unitholders&rsquo; meeting or October 2, 2018; or (b) if the next annual unitholders&rsquo; meeting is held before April 2, 2018, then the Partnership must evidence compliance no later than April 2, 2018.</font></p>

Item 3.01
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 2, 2017, Buford P. Berry, a manager of Dorchester Minerals Management GP LLC (the "General Partner"), the general partner of the general partner of Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (the "Partnership") passed away. Mr. Berry served as a manager and a member of the Advisory Committee of the General Partner since February 2003.
Following Mr. Berry
's passing, the number of members on the Advisory Committee, which also serves as the audit committee and the compensation committee of the General Partner, was reduced from three to two members. As a result, the Partnership is no longer compliant with Listing Rules 5615(a)(4)(C) and 5605(c)(2)(A) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), which require that an audit committee consist of at least three members, each of whom is independent. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, on October 4, 2017, the Partnership notified Nasdaq of Mr. Berry's passing and the resulting non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5615(a)(4)(C) and 5605(c)(2)(A).
On October 6, 2017, the Partnership received a letter from Nasdaq acknowledging the Partnership
's non-compliance with Nasdaq's audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5605. The Nasdaq letter further provides that, consistent with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Partnership a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows: (a) until the earlier of the Partnership's next annual unitholders' meeting or October 2, 2018; or (b) if the next annual unitholders' meeting is held before April 2, 2018, then the Partnership must evidence compliance no later than April 2, 2018.
The Partnership and the General Partner intend to have a replacement for the Advisory Committee position who satisfies the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules appointed prior to the expiration of the cure period.
