FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mexco Energy Corporation Reports Profitable Second Quarter

MIDLAND, TX – 11/16/10 -- Mexco Energy Corporation (AMEX: MXC) today reported net income of $70,040 for the quarter ending September 30, 2010, the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to a net income of $158,350 for the same quarter of fiscal 2010.

Operating revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $788,639, an increase of $42,345 or 6% from $746,294 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

The average sales price for the quarter ending September 30, 2010 was $5.49 per Mcfe compared to $4.24 per Mcfe for the quarter ending September 30, 2009, an increase of 29%.  Oil production increased 2% and gas production decreased 22% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010.  This decrease in gas production is attributable to natural decline and certain production shut-in for repairs and maintenance.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company made two significant acquisitions including overriding royalty interests averaging .28% in 5,120 gross acres covering eight sections in the Haynesville trend area of DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, for an approximate purchase price of $1.65 million.  This acreage currently contains five (5) horizontal wells producing from the Haynesville Shale formation and an additional 59 potential drill sites.  Most of the wells will be operated by Petrohawk Operating Company with the balance operated by Chesapeake Energy.  Other wells drilled in the Haynesville area show the presence of at least two (2) other potential producing zones, the Bossier and Cotton Valley, which are held by production and available for development as conditions warrant.  Any development of these royalties will be free to Mexco of expenses for drilling and operations.  The Haynesville area has been estimated to become the largest gas resource in the United States and the fourth largest in the world subject to realization of technical estimates, according to World Oil in its June 2010 edition.  World Oil recognizes DeSoto Parish as one of the top six (6) parishes of Louisiana where the most productive Haynesville wells are located.

Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of a Texas corporation which owns royalties producing primarily natural gas for a purchase price of $478,000.  These royalties consist of over 200 properties covering 60 counties and parishes in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Mississippi and Alabama.

For the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported net income of $75,816, compared to $90,347 for the same period of fiscal 2010.  Operating revenues increased 16% to $1,625,032 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $1,404,471 for the same period of fiscal 2010.

Mexco Energy Corporation owns oil and gas properties in twelve states, with the majority of its activity centered in West Texas.  The Company plans to continue to focus its efforts to increase oil and natural gas reserves through exploration and development as well as acquisition of royalties with significant development potential.
