   Australian Government Announcement - Beetaloo Strategic Plan 
 
   17 December 2020 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased 
to note the announcement today by the Australian Government that it 
plans to provide up to A$50 million to accelerate exploration activity 
in the Beetaloo sub-basin. Falcon holds a 22.5% interest in 4.6 million 
gross acres in exploration permits (EP76, EP98 and EP117) covering the 
most prospective core area of the Beetaloo sub-basin. 
 
   The funding is designed to fast-track drilling by providing grants to 
cover 25% of eligible exploration costs, capped at A$7.5 million per 
well and three wells per exploration venture. The funding will be put 
towards exploration that occurs before June 2022. 
 
   The Northern Territory's Geological Survey estimates that the sub-basin 
could hold more than 200,000 petajoules of gas (190 Tcf) and that, even 
if a very conservative 10% of that gas was recovered, it could still 
supply Australia's domestic gas demand for more than 10 years.

   Philip O'Quigley (CEO of Falcon) commented: 
 
   "The announcement by the Australian Government highlights the strategic 
and economic importance of the Beetaloo sub-basin which it believes has 
the potential to be a world-class gas resource, transform the Northern 
Territory economy and generate 6,000 jobs by 2040. 
 
   We look forward to continue working with our partners, Origin, and the 
state and federal governments and other stakeholders towards the 
successful development of the sub-basin." 
 
   Ends.

with respect to the type, number, schedule, stimulating, testing and 
objectives of the wells to be drilled in the Beetaloo Sub-basin 
Australia, the prospectivity of the Middle Velkerri and Kyalla plays and 
the prospect of the exploration programme being brought to commerciality, 
the availability of Australian government funding towards exploration up 
to June 2022. This information is based on current expectations that are 
subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to

actual results include risks associated with fluctuations in market 
prices for shale gas; risks related to the exploration, development and 
production of shale gas reserves; general economic, market and business 
conditions; substantial capital requirements; uncertainties inherent in 
estimating quantities of reserves and resources; extent of, and cost of 
compliance with, government laws and regulations and the effect of 
changes in such laws and regulations; the need to obtain regulatory 
approvals before development commences; environmental risks and hazards 
and the cost of compliance with environmental regulations; aboriginal 
claims; inherent risks and hazards with operations such as mechanical or 
pipe failure, cratering and other dangerous conditions; potential cost 
overruns, drilling wells is speculative, often involving significant 
costs that may be more than estimated and may not result in any 
discoveries; variations in foreign exchange rates; competition for 
capital, equipment, new leases, pipeline capacity and skilled personnel; 
the failure of the holder of licenses, leases and permits to meet 
requirements of such; changes in royalty regimes; failure to accurately 
estimate abandonment and reclamation costs; inaccurate estimates and 
assumptions by management and their joint venture partners; 
effectiveness of internal controls; the potential lack of available 
drilling equipment; failure to obtain or keep key personnel; title 
deficiencies; geo-political risks; and risk of litigation.
