RANCHER ENERGY CORP. (OTCBB: RNCH)

Rancher Energy Corp. closed at $.73 Friday, trading 166,500 shares.

Company News- July 2, 2007: Rancher Energy Corp. Announces Fiscal 2007 Financial Results and Highlights - - $89 million in equity capital raised - $73 million invested in three major properties in Powder River Basin - CO2 supply agreement signed with Anadarko Petroleum - Impressive new management team to direct operations - 5 new board members strengthen leadership team and corporate governance

Rancher Energy Corp. announced financial results for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, and other recent highlights associated with the Company's strategy to use advanced CO2 recovery techniques to reinvigorate three historically productive oil fields in Wyoming's Powder River Basin.

Fiscal 2007 revenue of $1.2 million consisted of slightly more than one fiscal quarter of oil & gas sales commencing with the December and January acquisitions of the three fields. Assuming stable crude prices, fiscal year 2008 revenue is expected to increase significantly due to four full quarters of contribution by producing fields.

The Company's property acquisitions and aggressive growth strategy resulted in significantly higher operating expenses in fiscal 2007. General and administrative expense showed the largest increase - to $4.5 million from $74,000 - due to several factors, including higher costs associated with the addition of executive, technical and support personnel; consulting services; compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley; and audit, legal and reservoir engineering services. Including $1.5 million in non-cash stock-based compensation costs, total operating expenses increased to $6.8 million in fiscal 2007 from $124,000 in the prior year.

Net loss in fiscal 2007 was $8.7 million, or $0.16 per share, versus a net loss of $124,000, or less than one cent per share, in fiscal 2006. In addition to $1.5 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the 2007 net loss included $2.7 million in liquidated damages due to the delayed effective date of a registration statement relating to the Company's $80 million equity private placement.

During the second and third quarters of 2007 Rancher Energy raised approximately $89 million in two private placements, primarily with institutional investors. The Company used approximately $73 million of proceeds to acquire three historically productive oil fields in the Powder River Basin - the Cole Creek South Field and the South Glenrock B Field for $47.7 million on December 22, 2006, and the Big Muddy Field for $25.7 million on January 4, 2007. The Cole Creek South and South Glenrock B Fields are currently producing a gross aggregate of 290 BOPD, although CO2 enhanced oil recovery plans call for accelerated production levels from all three fields.

The private placements and subsequent property acquisitions increased total assets at 2007 fiscal year-end to $81.5 million from $47,000 in fiscal 2006. Working capital increased to $889,000 from $44,000 over the same periods.

"Over the past eight months we have achieved a number of key milestones that are critical to our objective of becoming a formidable player in the CO2 enhanced oil recovery industry," said John Works, president and CEO. "We raised significant equity capital, purchased three promising oil fields, secured a long-term CO2 supply source, and assembled a strong team of executives, board members and support personnel, all of whom are committed to building shareholder value through consistent performance. We have since turned our attention to a fresh set of milestones -- completion of a significant financing, which we expect will be primarily debt; construction of a CO2 supply pipeline and related infrastructure; and completion of the resale registration statement. While we face customary challenges along the way, we are working diligently to achieve these milestones. We appreciate the support of our investors and employees at all levels of the organization and look forward to reporting our progress as it unfolds."

About Rancher Energy Corp. (OTCBB: RNCH)

Rancher Energy is an innovative oil & gas exploration & development company with a targeted strategy to reinvigorate older, historically productive oil fields in the hydrocarbon-rich Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Using CO2 injection coupled with other leading edge hydrocarbon recovery techniques, including 3-D seismic data and directional drilling, Rancher Energy expects to extract proven in-place oil that remains behind in mature fields. Rising energy demand and strong oil & gas prices combined with advances in oil recovery have made this strategy profitable. Rancher Energy is taking advantage of this convergence by acquiring low risk, high quality, historically productive plays with under-exploited reserves and developing customized enhanced recovery strategies to maximize production.
