Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. Receives An Updated Independent Resource Assessment
From RPS Scotia For Its Mako Trough Deep Gas Project In Hungary

DENVER, May 5 /CNW/ – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO) announced that it has received a new, updated, independent report from RPS Scotia disclosing an updated resource estimate of the Makó Trough Pannonian Basin Gas Accumulation (the “Makó Trough”) within the production license area of Falcon’s deep gas exploration project in southeastern Hungary (the “RPS Scotia Report”).

The RPS Scotia Report is compliant with National Instrument 51-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities” (“NI 51-101”).

The RPS Scotia Report on the resource of the Makó Trough describes a probabilistic distribution of the potentially recoverable portion of “Contingent Resources” as defined by the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and does not represent an estimate of reserves.

Based on all available data, RPS Scotia has assigned the following probabilistic estimation of potentially recoverable contingent resources in the Szolnok formation, the Lower Endrod, the Basal Conglomerate and the Synrift Sequence. The RPS Scotia Report measures the Makó Trough in trillions of cubic feet (Tcf) and millions of barrel oil (mmbo):

Notes:

(1) The resource estimate has been conducted using the definitions specified by the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook. The Makó Trough resource falls under the “Discovered Resources” classification. The values refer to the probabilistically estimated recoverable fraction of “Contingent Resources” within that classification. Contingent resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations but are not currently economic. The economic nature of this resource has not yet been assessed due to the early stage of data gathering for the Makó Trough resource. The recoverable portion of this “Contingent Resource” is contingent upon the demonstration of productive capability of the various zones of interest through well testing and longer term production testing which has not occurred as of the effective date of the report.

(2) Estimates are as of March 31st, 2008, the effective date of the RPS Scotia Report.
