              Hinto Energy, Inc. Announces Increased Oil Production

DENVER, CO, June 18, 2014, HINTO ENERGY, INC. (OTCQB:  HENI) announces increased
production from its Mason Lakes, Montana oil field.

George Harris, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We have seen an
increase in  production  from our Mason Lake Field in Montana as a result of our
re-work and production  enhancement efforts and are now producing between 25 and
40 barrels of oil per day, from three wells.  We will be increasing  our pumping
operations,   storage  capacity  and  expanding  our  transportation  and  sales
relationships  as we bring  two  additional  wells on line  during  the next few
weeks." Harris continued,  "We now have greater visibility on the true potential
of this field and we're  hopeful  that recent  increases in  production  will be
maintained  and  enhanced  in the  coming  months  helping  us meet our  overall
production goals."

After  completing  the rework of its  existing  wells,  the  Company  will begin
evaluating  Phase Two of the field  development  plan  which  includes  drilling
additional  injection  and  production  wells.  The  Company is also  evaluating
several additional oil fields in Musselshell County,  Montana that have existing
production,  potential upside from production  enhancements and adequate spacing
options for additional wells.

Hinto Energy, Inc. engages in the exploration,  acquisition,  and development of
oil and gas properties, with current properties in Utah and Montana encompassing
approximately  15,000  acres and 40 wells.  The  Company  is based in  Greenwood
Village, Colorado.
