- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FX Energy, Inc. ("FX Energy" or the "Company") announced on October 15, 1997,
that the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection and Forestry
had awarded the Company exclusive oil and gas exploration rights to two new
concession areas in Poland. One area, encompassing approximately 1.5 million
acres, is located in the southwest Carpathian region of the country and extends
to Poland's border with Slovakia to the south and the Czech Republic to the
west. The area covered by this concession was previously established as an
"area of mutual interest" under the Company's April 16, 1997, agreement with
Apache Corporation. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, FX Energy
will offer Apache the opportunity to participate with FX Energy in the
exploration and development of this concession.
The Company was also awarded eight blocks in the northwest of Poland covering
approximately 2 million acres. These blocks are north and east of the recently
awarded CalEnergy blocks are located in the central Polish trough. FX Energy
intends to review existing seismic and well data and to seek an industry partner
to participate in the exploration of the northwest concession area.
FX Energy produces oil from fields in Montana and Nevada and is actively
pursuing other oil and gas opportunities internationally and in the western
United States. Its stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market System.
For a discussion of the contingencies and uncertainties to which information
respecting future events is subject, see FX Energy's 1996 annual report on Form
