AsherXino Secures USD $35.0 Million Equity Line Facility

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - July 7, 2010) -  AsherXino Corporation (OTCBB: AXNO), an international oil and gas exploration and production company focused on prospects in the Gulf of Guinea, today announced it has entered into an agreement for an Equity Line Facility (ELF) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP. 

Under the agreement, Dutchess will provide the Company an equity line for USD $35.0 million. The facility will allow the Company to continue its rapid development. Importantly, the facility allows the Company flexibility to draw only as needed. The Company will control the timing and maximum amount of any draw downs under the facility, and has the right, not the obligation, to draw down on available funds. In addition, the Company has the option to draw down funds in tranches by requiring Dutchess to subscribe for the Company's common shares at a 5 percent discount to the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company's common shares over a 5 day trading period following the draw down notice date.

"This new equity line will give us flexible access to capital to support our growth initiatives," said Michael C. Hinton, President of AsherXino. "By demonstrating access to capital and the sequential improvement of our financial performance, we are sending a clear and positive message to our partners, shareholders and financial stakeholders."
