Mallon Resources Corporation (the "Company") issued the following 
press releases; the text of each follows:

     Denver, Colorado - August 14, 1998 -- Mallon Resources 
Corporation (Nasdaq:  "MLRC") today announced that its principal 
operating subsidiary, Mallon Oil Company, was recently awarded New 
Mexico's 1998 Environmental Merit Award for Innovative Achievements 
in Protection of the Environment.  Mallon was selected for the 
award by the Oil Conservation Division of the New Mexico Energy, 
Minerals and Natural Resources Department.  The award was presented 
at the Annual Meeting of the Independent Petroleum Association of 
New Mexico by Jennifer Salisbury, Secretary of the New Mexico 
Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, and by Lori 
Wrotenbery, Director of the Oil Conservation Division. 

     In making the presentation, Secretary Salisbury said, "This 
award speaks to the level of commitment that Mallon has to 
protecting New Mexico's resources for all its citizens.  They 
exemplify the positive impact that industry can have in protecting 
our environment."

     George Mallon, Chairman of the Company, said, "Much of our 
work in New Mexico is conducted on Jicarilla Apache Tribal lands.  
So we take particular pleasure in the fact that we were nominated 
for this prestigious award by the Jicarilla Apache Tribe.  As a 
corporation, we are committed to conducting all of our oil and gas 
operations in an environmentally responsible manner." 

     Mallon Resources Corporation is a Denver, Colorado, based oil 
and gas exploration and production company operating primarily in 
the San Juan and Delaware Basins of New Mexico.  Mallon's Common 
Stock is quoted on Nasdaq under the symbol "MLRC."

     Denver, Colorado - August 17, 1998 -- Mallon Resources 
Corporation (Nasdaq:  "MLRC") today announced that it has 
established production in what could be a significant new natural 
gas field at its East Blanco Gas Project in northwest New Mexico's 
San Juan Basin.  The Company reported that it has production tested 
eight gas wells in the San Jose Formation at approximately 1,500 
feet.  The wells have tested from 200 mcf per day to 600 mcf per 
day after 30,000 pound hydraulic foam fracture treatments.  The San 
Jose sands vary in thickness from 100 to 300 feet and, to date, the 
wells have tested only 50 feet of the sand in the lower part of the 
interval.  The eight test wells are widely spread across 23,000 
acres in the northern section of Mallon's East Blanco Gas Project.  
Because gas-bearing San Jose sands have been encountered in 
scattered tests over much of the acreage, the Company is optimistic 
that substantial portions of the block will ultimately be 
productive from the San Jose.  The Company plans to continue to 
test and develop the San Jose during the balance of 1998. 

     George Mallon, Chairman and President of the Company, said, 
"We continue to uncover new production and reserves at East Blanco, 
where we assumed operating control in January 1997.  Until 
recently, our production there was primarily from the well known 
Pictured Cliffs Formation.  Then, just 12 months ago, we commenced 
production of gas from the Ojo Alamo Formation, which had never 
before been commercially produced in the Basin.  We now have 42 
producers in that zone and we plan to drill at least 20 more Ojo 
Alamo wells by year-end.  This recent discovery of San Jose 
production above the Ojo Alamo is a completely new gas field.  
While we are not yet certain of the productive limits of the San 
Jose or the ultimate reserve potential it holds, we believe San 
Jose production will have a significant impact on overall project 
economics when it is combined with our production from the Pictured 
Cliffs and the Ojo Alamo." 

     The foregoing information contains forward-looking statements 
and forecasts, the realization of which cannot be assured.  Actual 
results may differ significantly from those forecast.  Inaccurate 
geologic interpretations, the volatility of commodity prices, 
unbudgeted cost increases, unforeseen delays in operations, and 
operations that prove less successful than anticipated are risks 
that can significantly effect the Company's operations.  These and 
other risk factors that affect the Company's business are discussed 
in the Company's Annual Report.

and gas exploration and production company operating primarily in 
the San Juan and Delaware Basins of New Mexico.  Mallon's Common 
Stock is quoted on Nasdaq under the symbol "MLRC."
