In May, 2006, Keystone closed the acquisition

Lex deal, which was effective January 1, 2006, increased the
Company’s fee mineral land holdings from 158,587 gross
(51,289 net), to over 200,000 gross (68,000+ net). The Lex Lands
were characterized by a higher proportion of either producing
lands or lands which are highly-prospective for development
in the near term. Approximately 11.5% of the Lex Lands were
producing at the time of the acquisition, compared to approximately
4.2% of the KRC Lands.
