Mallon Resources Corporation

    Re:  Form S-2 Registration Statement

Gentlemen:

    This firm has acted as counsel to Mallon Resources Corporation (the
"Company") in connection with the preparation and filing of its registration
statement on Form S-2 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, covering the sale of an aggregate of 30,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock").

    We have examined the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws and the record of its corporate proceedings with respect to the
Registration Statement and have made such other investigations as we have
