AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.,
A NEVADA CORPORATION

Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Corporation”), in order to amend its Articles of Incorporation in accordance with the requirements of Section 78.403 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, does hereby certify as follows:

THIRD:

A.       The Corporation is authorized to issue one billion (1,000,000,000) shares which shall be designated as Common Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and two hundred million (200,000,000) shares which shall be designated as Preferred Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

B.       Shares of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative participating, option or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of Preferred Stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereto, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any preferred stock designation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this amendment to the Articles of Incorporation this 14th day of June, 2021.

	John A. Brda
	President and Chief Executive Officer
