MITCHAM INDUSTRIES REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER

HUNTSVILLE, Texas — June 13, 2005 — Mitcham Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) today reported net income of $2.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, on revenues of $7.6 million for its first quarter ended April 30, 2005. This compares with net income of $1.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, on revenues of $8.2 million in last year’s first quarter. The Company said that its results are primarily related to the strength of its global leasing operations and the importance of leasing as a cost-effective solution for capital-efficient contractor operations.

“Short-term leasing is clearly a compelling alternative for seismic contractors as they expand operations to meet heightened exploration activity,” said Billy F. Mitcham, Jr., Mitcham Industries’ President & CEO. “Mitcham Industries is now entering our traditionally slower summer season, but we continue to see strong lease activity domestically and internationally as contractors seek to expand their operations profitably.”

Mitcham Industries, Inc., a geophysical equipment supplier, offers for lease or sale, new and “experienced” seismic equipment to the oil and gas industry, seismic contractors, environmental agencies, government agencies and universities. Headquartered in Texas, with sales and services offices in Calgary, Canada, Brisbane, Australia and associates throughout Europe, South America and Asia, Mitcham conducts operations on a global scale and is the largest independent exploration equipment lessor in the industry.

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts included herein, including statements regarding potential future demand for the Company’s products and services, the Company’s future financial position and results of operations, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include a prolonged and gradual recovery, or no full recovery, of the energy services sector of a depressed oil and gas industry, and thereafter, the inherent volatility of oil and gas prices and the related volatility of demand for the Company’s services; loss of significant customers; significant defaults by customers on amounts due to the Company; international economic and political instability; dependence upon additional lease contracts; the risk of technological obsolescence of the Company’s lease fleet; vulnerability of seismic activity and demand to weather conditions and seasonality of operating results; dependence upon few suppliers; and other factors which are disclosed in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, available from the Company without charge.
