"We expect our working interest partners to accelerate their Permian Basin drilling inventory in the second half, giving the Company a $7.4 million CAPEX budget for the second half of the year," said Chairman and CEO E. Will Gray II. "Currently, we expect to spud 21 wells in the second half of 2011, compared to the four wells we participated in during the first half of 2011. This will provide the Company with approximately 25 gross wells, or 3.7 net wells, for the year with expectations of exiting 2011 with an approximate daily production rate of 500 BOE."

The largest share of second-half drilling, six wells, will target the unconventional Bone Spring play in southeastern New Mexico. Other oil-focused targets, also located in southeastern New Mexico, will be the Abo with five wells and two each for the Delaware and Yeso, and one to San Andres. In West Texas, five wells are scheduled for the Wolfberry. Working interest in the wells varies from 100 percent to 3 percent.

Mr. Gray is scheduled to present at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, today, as part of the RedChip Small-Cap Equities Virtual Conference, which will include a question-and-answer session. The presentation will be available at http://www.RedChip.com. Visuals from the presentation will be available later today on Cross Border's website at www.xbres.com/investor-relations.html.
