RE: NRP Stone, Inc.

Opinion re: current information

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is in response to the request that I express my opinion as to whether adequate current public information is available concerning NRP Stone, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Issuer") and its securities (the "Information"), within the meaning of Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933. OTC Markets Group is entitled to rely on this letter in determining whether the Issuer has made adequate current Information publicly available within the meaning of Rule 144(c)(2), and may publish this letter on the OTC Markets News Service. I am a U.S. resident, and the law firm of Carr & Waddoups Attorneys at Law, L.L.C. ("Counsel") has been retained by the Issuer for the sole purpose of reviewing the current information supplied by the Issuer and rendering this letter and related matters.

Counsel owns no shares of the Company, beneficially or otherwise, and has no interest in the Company. Moreover, Counsel has no agreement to receive any shares of the Issuer's stock in payment of services or otherwise.

Facts and Assumptions

In connection with rendering this opinion, I have investigated such matters and examined such documents as I have deemed necessary. In examining the documents, I have assumed the genuineness of signatures (both manual and conformed), the authenticity of documents submitted as originals, the conformity with originals of all documents furnished as copies, and the correctness of the facts set forth in such documents.

Nothing came to my attention during the course of my investigation that led me to conclude that any such documents were not genuine or authentic or that the facts set forth therein were not true. Any opinion expressed herein relates only to the Company and Information. It should not be relied on by any other person or in connection with any other transaction.

I am authorized to practice law in the State of Utah, and within the United States. This opinion covers, and is rendered under, the laws of the United States. Further, I am permitted to practice before the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and have not been prohibited from practice thereunder. Counsel is not currently-and has not been in the previous 5 years-suspended or barred from practicing law in any state or jurisdiction or charged in any civil or criminal case.

Inquiry and Investigation

As to matters of fact upon which counsel has relied and obtained, directly or indirectly from public officials, including officials of OTC Markets Group, and from officers of the Company and other sources, I have believed such sources to be reliable. I have examined such corporate records and other documents and such questions of law as counsel considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering the letter. Based upon my inquiry of management and the directors of the Company, to the best of my knowledge, neither the Company, its officers or directors, any holder of 5% or more of the securities of the Company, nor Counsel are currently under investigation by any federal or state regulatory authority for any violation of federal or state securities laws.

In addition, I have viewed a portion of the information filed by the Company on otcmarkets.com, including 15c2-11 information contained in: a. the Company's annual report for the period ending December 31, 2017, including the amendment of that report on May 9, 2019; b. the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2018, including the amendments of that report on May 9, 2019 and June 27, 2019; c. the annual report for the period ended December 31, 2019; d. the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2020, which was filed on February 18, 2021; including the amended annual report for the period ending December 31, 2020, which was filed on February 18, 2021; including the amendment of that annual report on March 23, 2021; the quarterly report for the period ending March 31, 2021, which was filed on April 26, 2021; including the amendment of that report which was filed on May 10, 2021; the quarterly report for the period ending June 30, 2021, which was filed on August 19, 2021, 2021; including the amendment of that report which was filed on October 29, 2021; the quarterly report for the period ending September 30, 2021, which was filed on November 9, 2021; and the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2021, which was filed on March 18, 2022.

I have conducted video conferences with all of the officers and directors of the Company, Joshua T. Hanes, Eric Willeitner, and Jeffrey Johnson regarding the Company and its filings with OTC Markets, which they confirmed they believe to be accurate. I also have spoken with Benjamin Young, C.P.A., the accountant for the Company, who confirmed that the financial statements that they prepared are not audited, and that he believes such financial statements are materially accurate and prepared according to GAAP. During my discussions with the officers, directors, and the accountant for the Company, I was advised that the Company has failed to file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Nevade prior to the yearending December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of filing tax returns (as required by applicable tax authorities) for any prior periods. Moreover, I was advised by these officers, directors and the accountant that these failures will have no material effect on the Company, will not alter or affect its financial statements, and have been remedied for the year ending December 31, 2022. I have confirmed that the Company has previously made filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission but ceased doing so when it filed its Form 15 on November 30, 2007.

I received email confirmation from Amy Merrill, principal at Standard Registrar & Transfer Company, the Issuer's transfer agent, and have confirmed that it is registered with the SEC, and I confirmed-including by a review of the Shareholder List-the number of shares of the outstanding with the Company in the number of 304,890,514 common shares as of the date of this letter, and 95 shares of preferred stock outstanding, based on their compilation and review of the Issuer's stock records.

I have confirmed that the Company has not, at any time within the last three (3) years, engaged any person or entity to act in promotional activities related to the shares of the Company. Moreover, I have confirmed that the Company is not aware of any sales of Company securities by any insider within the past three (3) years. Although Counsel notes that the Company stock is currently trading significantly higher than its historical range, the Company, its officers and directors deny being involved in any promotion or other activities underlying the movements of the share price. In all of my investigations, interviews, and reviews of information, I have determined that all such sources were believed to be reliable and nothing came to my attention to indicate otherwise.

Finally, I have also investigated and confirmed the shares issued and held by each of the officers, directors, or control persons of the Company. Those individuals are listed and the shares owned and held by each, as of the date of this letter, are described below.

I have made specific inquiry with and confirmed from each of the above-listed officers, directors, and control persons that there have been no sales of any securities by insiders within the twelve (12) month period prior to this opinion. Moreover, during my inquiries, nothing has come to my attention indicating that any of the insiders is in possession of any material non-public information regarding the Company or its securities that would prohibit any of them from buying or selling securities under Rules 10b-5 or 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

Conclusions

Based on the examination and inquiry as set forth above, I am of the opinion that the Information for and through the period ending December 31, 2021 (i) constitutes "adequate current public information" concerning the Securities and the Issuer and "is available" within the meaning of Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities Act, (ii) includes all of the information that a broker-dealer would be required to obtain from the Issuer to publish a quotation for the Securities under Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), (iii) complies as to form with the OTC Markets Guidelines for Providing Adequate Current Information, which are located on the Internet atwww.otcmarkets.com, and (iv) has been posted in the OTC Disclosure & News Service.

Based on the examination and inquiry as set forth above, I am of the opinion that the Company is not presently, but may have been in the past 12 months, a "shell company" as that term is defined in Rules 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 and 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934.

This opinion may be relied upon by OTC Markets Group in determining whether to permit quotations in the Issuer's securities in the OTC Markets quotation venue. No other persons may rely on such opinion and no other use of this opinion is authorized without the written consent of the undersigned. OTC Markets Group is hereby granted full and complete permission and rights to publish the letter through the OTC Disclosure & News Service for public viewing.
