Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC: MSEH), an oil and gas exploration and production company based in Dallas, Texas, announced today that an independent fee-based research report has been issued by Caprock Risk Management, LLC ("CRM") with a recommendation and a price target on the Company's stock. The report examines the potential continued growth of the Company which is expected to be driven by strong revenue growth opportunities from its oil and gas production in South Louisiana.

"The report presents a great overview of our Company and the recent acquisition of Tchefuncte Natural Resources, LLC. CRM's report provides a revenue model that we believe is quite achievable over the next twelve months. We also hope to build an institutional shareholder base as Chris Jarvis, CEO of CRM, is well-respected among the investment community and the energy markets," said Randy M. Griffin, CEO of the Company.

Chris Jarvis, CEO and Director of Research at Caprock Risk Management, commented, "We are excited to launch coverage on Mesa Energy Holdings today. We believe equity research plays a vital role and intermediary between investors and publicly traded companies, which makes the markets more efficient. In our opinion, Mesa is an example of a publicly traded company with strong fundamentals that are not yet reflected in its share price. Given this, we believe Mesa Energy validates the independent research model and are happy that Mesa is our first of several companies that we are launching coverage on in 2012."

CRM's recommendation centers on strong secular trends for domestic oil production, market and operational synergies from the Company's acquisition of Tchefuncte Natural Resources, LLC ("TNR") and CRM's opinion that the Company's shares currently have a depressed valuation that does not reflect the Company's recent acquisition of TNR. The report covers the Company's producing oil properties in Plaquemines and Lafourche Parishes in Louisiana as well as its Marcellus Shale natural gas development project in Wyoming County, New York.
