Business Wire, June 16, 2004

HOUSTON -- Falcon Natural Gas Corp. (OTCBB: FNGC) ("Falcon"), announced today that it has acquired large acreage with oil and gas mineral rights on the Gulf Coast of Texas.

The acreage is strategically located in one of the leading natural gas producing areas in North America, and consists of mineral rights adjacent to large proven deposits of natural gas with an extensive production history.

Falcon Natural Gas plans to raise additional capital in order to begin its intensive exploration program which is set to commence in the second half of 2004.

"We are very excited about commencing the exploration program on our properties," said Alan Aitchison, President & CEO, Falcon Natural Gas Corp.
