Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. Amends Escrow Agreement Dated April 1, 2005

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO) (the “Corporation”) announced today that MGI Securities Inc. (“MGI”) has agreed to a waiver (the “Waiver”) to release certain common shares of the Corporation that were placed into escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement, a copy of which is available at www.sedar.com (the “Escrow Agreement”) in connection with the Corporation’s acquisition of the shares of Mako Energy Corporation completed on April 1, 2005. The Waiver provides for the immediate release of certain common shares of the Corporation from escrow as well as for a reduction in the term of the escrow for the remaining common shares held in escrow. The reduction shortens the term of the escrow from six years to the three year minimum escrow period required by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Under the original terms of the Escrow Agreement, 140,000,000 common shares of the Corporation were placed in escrow on April 1, 2005 with such shares being released from escrow in tranches every six months for a period of six years, which to date has provided for the release of 14,000,000 common shares. As a result of the Waiver, an additional 42,000,000 common shares will be released from escrow immediately as freely tradeable common shares, with the remaining 84,000,000 common shares being released from escrow as freely tradeable common shares in four equal tranches. The first of such four tranches is scheduled for October 12, 2006 with the remaining three tranches to occur in subsequent six month intervals ending on April 12, 2008.
