    Acquisition of Further Acreage at Jolly Ranch, Lincoln County, Colorado



The directors of Nighthawk Energy plc ("Nighthawk" or the "Company") (AIM: HAWK)
are pleased to announce the acquisition of significant additional acreage at the
Jolly Ranch project.  Nighthawk and its partner Running Foxes Petroleum Inc ("
Running Foxes"), the operator, each hold a 50 per cent. working interest in the
project.


Jolly Ranch is located in Lincoln County, within the Denver Basin in eastern
Colorado where production is drawn from the Mississippian, Pennsylvanian,
Permian and Cretaceous reservoirs.


As announced on 1 November 2007, two 3-D seismic surveys were shot over key
sections of the Jolly Ranch acreage covering 40,000 acres containing two
abandoned oilfields, Bolero and Craig Ranch.


Following further interpretation of the results from these 3-D seismic surveys,
expanded targets with significant upside potential have been identified and
subsequently, a further 44,000 acres has been acquired bringing the current
project area to 84,000 acres.  Further expansion is planned within the region by
Running Foxes and Nighthawk.
