"The approximate estimated ultimate recovery for Abo wells, such as the Leo 3 Fed Com. #1H,  is 200 to 250 MBOE," said E. Will Gray II, Chairman and CEO of Cross Border. "We hold identical interests in three potential offsets to this well. All four wells were listed as possible reserves in our last reserves report, prepared by Joe C. Neal & Associates, independent reservoir engineers.

"Separately, Cimarex has two direct offset wells to the Leo 3 Fed Com. #1H, now on production, that currently average 369 bopd/242 mcfd and 230 bopd/163 mcfd, respectively," Mr. Gray added. "We are pleased with the continuing progress we see in the Abo and our other New Mexico plays."

Wolfberry Lease Acquisition

Cross Border has closed on the purchase of an additional 20% working interest in 480 gross acres in the Six Shooter project targeting the unconventional Wolfberry play, located in Texas' Howard and Martin counties. The Company will participate in the first two wells, with the first scheduled to spud in late August or early September, on a 1/3 for 1/4 promoted basis.

The acreage adjoins a 320-acre tract in which Cross Border has a 10% working interest. The entire project has 11 prospective drilling locations across approximately 800 acres in the Wolfberry, located along the eastern shelf of the Midland Basin. The trend encompasses the Sprayberry/Dean, Wolfcamp, Canyon, Strawn, and Mississippian formations.

Earnings Release

Cross Border expects to announce its second-quarter and first-half earnings on or before August 15, 2011.
