BUDAPEST, Hungary – November 29, 2007 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO) ("Falcon"or the "Company") today announced it has filed its third quarter financial results for the period ended September 30, 2007 with the Canadian Securities Administrators. The financial statements and accompanying management discussion and analysis (MD&A) are available on www.sedar.com. Operational Update On November 21, 2007, Falcon Oil and Gas submitted its Technical Operating Plan (the “Testing Program”) to the Hungarian Mining Bureau. The Testing Program will focus on the center of Falcon’s basin centered gas play with the completion of the existing Makó-4, Makó-6 and Makó-7 wells. Falcon expects the Testing Program to commence in the second quarter of 2008 and to continue into early 2009, with exact timing to be determined by delivery schedules for long lead time items. Financing Update On November 22, 2007, Falcon announced a public offering underwritten by a group led by Orion Securities Inc. and including Evergreen Capital Partners Inc., agreeing to purchase 100 million Common Shares at a price of CDN$0.40 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of CDN$40 million. Falcon intends to apply the proceeds from the financing to fund the Testing Program and to provide working capital. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about December 11, 2007 and is subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to, receipt of all necessary securities regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Strategic Partner Update Falcon announced previously an initiative to identify potential strategic partners who can add value in respect of the development of its oil and gas properties in Hungary and/or in developing infrastructure and markets for the gas produced from those properties. Since that time, a number of parties have executed confidentiality agreements and are in the process of completing a detailed review of this opportunity to enter into an agreement with Falcon. Falcon’s Board of Directors will carefully consider the terms of proposals when received from these potential strategic partners, as compared to Falcon's standalone development plan, and will make a determination as to the best course of action for the Company and its shareholders.
