   Spudding of Kyalla 117 N2-1 Well 
 
   9 October 2019 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased 
to announce the spudding of the Kyalla 117 N2-1 appraisal well in the 
Beetaloo Sub-Basin, Australia. 
 
   Highlights: 
 
 
   -- Kyalla 117 N2-1 is the first well in the Stage 2 drilling programme to 
      target the Kyalla shale liquids rich gas play. 
 
   -- Located within Exploration Permit 117 approx. 32 kilometres north of the 
      Beetaloo W-1 well. 
 
   -- A vertical pilot hole will target a total vertical depth of approximately 
      1,750 metres into the Kyalla Formation. 
 
   -- A subsequent horizontal section is planned for approximately 1,000 metres 
      that will be drilled, completed, stimulated and production tested in the 
      prospective Kyalla shale reservoir interval. 
 
   -- Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd ("Origin"), as Operator, will drill the Kyalla 
      117 N2-1 well. 
 
   -- Origin hold a participating interest of 70% and Falcon Oil & Gas 
      Australia Limited hold the other 30% participating interest over the 
      Beetaloo Exploration Permits, 76, 98 and 117. 
 
 
   The principal objectives for the drilling of the Kyalla 117 N2-1 well 
are to: 
 
 
   -- Penetrate the Kyalla Formation to assess hydrocarbon maturity, saturation 
      and reservoir quality. 
 
   -- Provide further information on the areal distribution of the Kyalla 
      Formation. 
 
   -- Collect data for subsequent horizontal drilling, completion, stimulation 
      and production testing; including ability to flow liquids rich gas. 
 
 
   Formation evaluation, including reservoir characterisation, will be 
carried out through petrophysical interpretation, geo-mechanical studies 
and core analysis. 
 
   Philip O'Quigley, CEO of Falcon commented: 
 
   "The spudding of the Kyalla 117 N2-1 appraisal well is an exciting 
development for Falcon and marks the re-commencement of the drilling 
programme with our JV partner. We look forward to updating the market as 
soon as results become available".
