Mexco Energy Corporation has announced the drilling of certain properties in the Permian basin of West Texas and the acquisition of producing properties in four states.

Mexco Energy Corporation is participating as a working interest owner in a JV drilling four vertical development wells to a depth of 11,000 ft on 160 acre spacing in the Dean, Wolfcamp, Cline and Atoka formations on 640 acres in Reagan County, Texas.  Initial per day production rates from two of these wells respectively are 128 bbl of oil and 110,000 cubic feet of natural gas and 94 bbl of oil and 179,000 cubic feet of natural gas.  Mexco' s working interest in this JV is .3% (.24% net revenue interest).
