Item 8.01. Other Events.

Royalty Purchase

      On January 14, 2005, Mexco Energy Corporation issued a news release to
announce that the Company purchased for $550,000 partially developed royalty
interests. The majority of the wells are located in Freestone and Limestone
Counties, Texas and operated by Anadarko Petroleum, XTO, and Devon Energy. These
properties contain 71 producing wells and an additional nine (9) permitted
and/or drilling wells in the Cotton Valley formation. This acreage contains
approximately 83 potential undeveloped locations, which are principally Cotton
Valley infill wells. This purchase furthers the primary goal of the Company
acquiring natural gas 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.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits

      (A)   Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired: None
