Dallas, Texas (August 2, 2011) – StockGuru shines its Spotlight on Brenham Oil & Gas Corp., (OTCBB: BRHM) (“Brenham”), a 54% owned subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc., (OTCBB: AMIN) (“American”), announced yesterday that it purchased an oil field with 20 oil wells situated on approximately 700 acres in the Permian Basin near Abilene, Texas.  The Company closed on August 1, 2011, at $0.42, with a fifty-two week range of $1.01 – 0.25.

Scott Gaille, Brenham’s President, stated, “We expect to conclude the assignments of the oil well leases to Brenham within the next sixty days and to commence development operations before the end of the current year, with a goal of bringing the field into production during 2012.”

Bryant Mook, Brenham’s recently appointed Vice President – Subsurface Engineering, is a registered geologist with a Masters Degree in Petroleum Engineering from Colorado School of Mines and more than 35 years of multi-disciplinary experience in oil and gas. Mr. Mook stated, “The Abilene field contains estimated probable reserves of approximately 1.4 million barrels of oil (net to the company). The net present value (10% discount rate after development and operating costs) of the acquisition is approximately $20 million.”

Scott Gaille further stated, “The Permian Basin oil field is the first completed acquisition by the Company as part of our business model by initially acquiring a portfolio of oil development and production assets in the U.S. and then expanding our portfolio by acquiring international exploration assets, with an initial focus on Africa. We previously announced the signing of an agreement to purchase a 5,000 acre Permian oil field near Midland, Texas, and our due diligence process on that larger acquisition is continuing.”
