Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.: Australia Drilling Programme Continues: Spudding of Amungee NW-1

DUBLIN, IRELAND--(Marketwired - Sept. 8, 2015) - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FO)(AIM:FOG)(ESM:FAC) is
pleased to announce the spudding of the Amungee NW-1 well in the Beetaloo Basin, Australia. Amungee NW-1 is the
second of Falcon's fully carried 2015 three well drilling and evaluation programme, the initial phase of a nine
well drilling and evaluation programme.

Highlights:

/T/

--  Amungee NW-1 is targeting the Middle Velkerri formation to assess
    hydrocarbon saturation and reservoir quality.
--  The well is located approximately 25 kilometres east of the first well
    drilled, Kalala S-1, within exploration permit 98 with drilling
    estimated to be to a total depth of 2,700 meters.
--  Rig 185, an ATS 400 originally commissioned for the drilling of Kalala
    S-1 from Saxon Energy Services Australia Pty. Ltd, will be used.
--  Drilling is estimated to take between 35 and 50 days.
--  The drilling of Amungee NW-1 will be operated by Origin Resources
    Limited ("Origin") (35%) with partners Sasol Petroleum Australia Limited
    ("Sasol") (35%) and Falcon (30%). Falcon retains a 30% interest in 4.6
    million gross acres of the Beetaloo Basin.

/T/

The principal objectives of the 2015 three well drilling programme are to:

/T/

--  penetrate the Middle Velkerri formation to assess hydrocarbon saturation
    and reservoir quality;
--  evaluate oil versus gas maturity and determine the most prospective
    areas and depth window;
--  provide further information on the aerial distribution of the target
    Middle Velkerri formation; and
--  collect data points for subsequent vertical and horizontal drilling.

/T/

Formation evaluation and reservoir characterisation will be carried out from the initial three wells through
petrophysical interpretation, core analysis, geomechanical studies and stimulation design.

Philip O'Quigley, CEO of Falcon commented:

"Amungee NW-1 is the second of our 2015 fully carried three well drilling programme with our partners Origin
and Sasol and follows the successful drilling of the first well, Kalala-S1. This second well is designed to
once again penetrate and acquire further data from the Middle Velkerri formation. We're currently evaluating
the extensive sidewall core and wireline data and the geochemical analysis of cuttings acquired from Kalala- S1
and look forward to reporting our findings in the near future."

Background

On 2 May 2014, Falcon announced it had entered into a Farm-Out Agreement and Joint Operating Agreement with
Origin and Sasol (collectively referred to herein as the "Farminees") with each farming into 35% of the
Falcon's exploration permits in the Beetaloo Basin, Australia through its 98% subsidiary, Falcon Oil & Gas
Australia Ltd. ("Falcon Australia"). The Farminees will carry the Group in a nine well exploration and
appraisal programme from 2015 to 2018.

/T/

--  Farminees will pay for the full cost of completing the first five wells
    estimated at A$64 million, and will fund any cost overruns, with work
    expected to be completed between 2015 and 2016.
--  Farminees to pay the full cost of the following two horizontally
    fracture stimulated wells, 90 day production tests and micro seismic
    data collection with a capped expenditure of A$53 million, any cost
    overrun funded by each party in proportion to their working interest.
    This work programme is expected to be undertaken in 2017.
--  Farminees to pay the full cost of the final two horizontally fracture
    stimulated wells and 90 day production tests capped at A$48 million, any
    cost overrun funded by each party in proportion to their working
    interest. This work programme is expected to be undertaken in 2018.
--  Farminees may reduce or surrender their interests back to Falcon
    Australia only after:
    --  The drilling of the first five wells or
    --  The drilling and testing of the next two horizontally fracture
        stimulated wells.
