Royalty Purchase

     On August 4, 2004, Mexco Energy Corporation issued a news release to
announce that the Company purchased for $500,000 partially developed royalty
interests in Freestone County, Texas. These properties, operated by XTO and
Anadarko Energy, Inc., contain 31 producing wells and an additional seven (7)
permitted and/or drilling wells in the Cotton Valley formation. This acreage
contains approximately 19 potential undrilled locations on 40 acre spacing. This

reserves. Previous acquisitions of partially developed royalty interests
generally have provided high yield and high quality reserves at favorable fixed
costs to the Company. As of March 31, 2004, approximately 17% of the Company's
revenues were from royalty interests.

     Copy of the news release is filed as Exhibit 99.1.
