Cross Border Resources Reports Net Daily Production Rate of Approximately 750 Boepd for March 2012; Provides Operations Update

SAN ANTONIO, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cross Border Resources, Inc. (OTCQX: XBOR) ("Cross Border" or "the Company"), a San Antonio-based oil and gas exploration and production company, is pleased to announce that average daily production for the month of March was approximately 750 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boepd"), of which 82% was oil. This increase in daily production was aided by recent 2nd Bone Spring completions, including the Cimarex SE Lusk 33 #2H and #3H, which have cumulatively produced approximately 82,306 gross barrels of oil and approximately 69,609 thousand gross cubic feet ("mcf") since February 1, 2012. Cross Border's working interest in these two wells is 37.5%.

Successful 2nd Bone Spring completions during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 were instrumental in increasing the net daily production from approximately 300 boepd on January 4, 2011 to a net daily production rate of approximately 750 boepd for March 2012. This represents a 150% production increase over 15 months. 

Additional development is underway on the Company's Abo, Yeso, and Wolfberry acreage with its other working interest partners, Concho Resources, Big Star and Occidental. Cross Border currently has a drilling inventory across these formations with varying non-operated working interests ranging from 1.05% to 20%.

During the first three months of 2012, the Company participated in seven gross (one net) new wells. As of April 30, 2012, three of the seven new wells had been placed on production, while four are awaiting completion. Additionally, three of the four wells begun during 2011 that were awaiting completion at year-end 2011 were successfully completed during the first quarter of 2012. No new leasehold acquisitions were made during the first quarter of 2012.
