Farm-out discussions in Australia advancing

Further to previous press releases, Falcon was approached by several oil and gas
companies interested in farming into the Beetaloo Basin. Falcon is well advanced
in its discussions with a number of those companies.


Consolidation of interest in Australian subsidiary 

In July 2013 Falcon completed the acquisition of a 25.4% minority interest in
Falcon Australia consolidating the Group's interest at 98% of the company.


Reducing the Overriding Royalty, Beetaloo Basin, Australia

On 1 November 2013, Falcon announced that Falcon Australia, had entered into an
agreement ("the CRIAG Agreement") with CR Innovations AG ("CRIAG") to acquire
its 4% Overriding Royalty Interest ("ORRI") relating to its exploration permits
in the Beetaloo Basin. On 17 December 2013, Falcon announced that Falcon
Australia, had entered into an agreement with Malcolm John Gerrard, Territory
Oil & Gas LLC and Tom Dugan Family Partnership LLC (collectively "TOG Group") to
acquire up to 7% (seven eighths) of the remaining 8% private ORRI over Falcon
Australia's exploration permits in the Beetaloo Basin. The completing of the two
agreements to acquire 8% of the privately held ORRI at a total cost of US$7
million, of which US$6 million is payable only upon completion of a Farm-Out in
Australia. In addition, the Group has secured agreement to acquire a further 3%
based on two five year call options granted to Falcon at a future combined cost
of US$20 million leaving only a 1% royalty in private hands. 


Hungary Drilling

The well testing operations on the Kutvolgy-1 well in Hungary have started.
Kutvolgy-1 is the first of a three well drilling and testing programme fully
funded by NIS, to evaluate the gas potential of the Algyo Formation in Falcon's
Mako trough permit. The testing objectives are to determine reservoir quality
and gas productivity from the target Algyo formation encountered in Kutvolgy-1.

debt free.
