INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 1) is being filed to update the information set forth in the initial Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2016 (the Schedule 13D), filed to report the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the Common Stock), of Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the Issuer), by each of the reporting persons named in such Schedule 13D (each, individually, a Reporting Person and collectively, the Reporting Persons).

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Each of Item 5(a), 5(b) and 5(e) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

(a)

Each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 2,284,172 shares of Common Stock held by Anthion, including 985,221 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 20,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 21,131 shares of Common Stock issuable upon a partial exercise of the Warrants held by the Reporting Persons. The percentages set forth below and on pages 2 and 3 hereof are based on the sum of 36,165,741 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, outstanding as of May 11, 2016, as reported in the Issuers Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 16, 2016, 8,602,905 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer and relating to the payment of quarterly dividends thereon prior to conversion as relayed by the Issuer, 985,221 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 21,131 shares of Common Stock issuable upon a partial exercise of the Warrants.

 

(b)

(i) As the managing member and controlling person of Anthion, Mr. Moradi has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 2,284,172 shares of Common Stock held by Anthion. Accordingly, Mr. Moradi may be deemed to beneficially own 4.99% of the Issuers issued and outstanding Common Stock. In addition, Mr. Moradi, as the managing member and controlling person of Anthion, has sole voting and dispositive power of, and is deemed to beneficially own, the 20,000 shares of the Issuers Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by Anthion, as described below.

(ii) As the holder of the shares, Anthion has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 2,284,172 shares of the Issuers Common Stock. Accordingly, Anthion may be deemed to beneficially own 4.99% of the Issuers issued and outstanding Common Stock. Anthion also holds and, as a result, has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 20,000 shares of the Issuers Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

(e)

As of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Issuers Common Stock.

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Anthion holds a warrant to purchase 492,610 total shares of the Issuers Common Stock at $2.23 per share, exercisable until September 2020 and a warrant to purchase 1,250,000 total shares of the Issuers Common Stock at $2.03 per share, exercisable until October 2018 (collectively the Warrants). Anthion was prohibited from exercising either of the Warrants while it beneficially owned in excess of 4.99% (the Maximum Percentage) of the shares of the Issuers Common Stock issued and outstanding as the date of the Schedule 13D. However, Anthion now holds less than the Maximum Percentage of the Issuers Common Stock, and thus, is permitted to engage in a partial exercise of the Warrants in the amount of 21,131 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

The information set forth in Items 1 - 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated herein by reference; provided that, any reference to the 2,263,041 shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons will now refer to the 2,284,172 shares of Common Stock reported herein.
