                             ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS


SUDETY EXPLORATION AREA

     On October 1, 1996, FX Energy, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly-
owned Polish Subsidiary, Sudety Mining Company, Sp. zo o.o., and Poland's
concession authority, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Natural
Resources and Forestry, signed an exploration agreement for gold and other
associated minerals on a 288-square kilometer (71,160 acres) block in the Sudety
region of southwestern Poland (the "Sudety Exploration Area").  The agreement
provides for a four-year exploration term with the possibility of a three-year
extension.  The Company, as the holder of exploration rights under the
Geological and Mining Law of Poland, has the exclusive right to an exploitation
concession covering mineral deposits identified in the exploration phase.

     The Company and Homestake Mining Company ("Homestake") have signed a
Reconnaissance and Standstill Agreement covering the Sudety Exploration Area.
The two companies will jointly develop a plan for the geophysical and
geochemical reconnaissance of the Sudety Exploration Area to be carried out over
the next year.  Subject to the results of the reconnaissance, the two companies
may elect to negotiate a subsequent agreement, in which case, Homestake would
likely take over operations with the Company retaining a working interest or
royalty.  The Company has agreed not to negotiate with any other company
regarding the Sudety Exploration Area for a period of 14 months.

     Homestake is an international gold mining company with substantial gold
mining operations and exploration primarily in the United States, Canada, and
Australia.

BALTIC CONCESSION

     The Company has completed its seismic acquisition program in the Gladysze
area of the Baltic Concession.  The seismic acquisition program was expanded to
cover additional structural leads identified during acquisition, and now covers
five structural leads (two more than originally planned), including the Gladysze
structure.  Tapes of the processed seismic were delivered last week to the
Company and its partner, RWE-DEA, for interpretation.  RWE-DEA and the Company
will evaluate and interpret all of the new seismic data before commencing
drilling operations, rather than limiting the evaluation to only the Gladysze
structure before drilling.  This decision will allow the two companies to
consider all of the identified structures and will not impair compliance with
their obligation to begin drilling the first Baltic Concession well before year-
end.

     RWE-DEA is paying 100% of the first $1.1 million in seismic costs and 100%
of the first $1.0 million in drilling costs, and has the right to select the
first drillsite.  Parker Drilling Company Engineering Services, which is
providing consulting services during drilling operations, and the Company as
operator of the project, have selected a drilling contractor for the first well.
After drilling, testing, and analysis of the first well, the Company will make
the drillsite selection for the second well.

COBB CREEK WELL

     The Company begun drilling the Cobb Creek Federal 11-1, in Lincoln County,
Nevada, with the Company's Rig #5 on October 1, 1996.  The Cobb Creek 11-1 is a
rank wildcat designed to test a large (nine square mile) subsurface anticlinal
structure defined by seismic and gravity.  The top of the target structure is
estimated to lie approximately 1,800 feet under valley fill; the age and
character of the geologic formations within the strucutre are unknown.  The
Company plans to drill into the structure, identify the uppermost formations,
and evaluate the potential for deeper hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs.  Drilling
and testing are estimated at approximately 30 days.  Additional information
concerning the well will not be released until after all drilling and testing
have been completed and a decision has been made to either complete the well for
production or to plug and abandon.

   DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK DURING EXPLORATION PHASES


FIRST EXPLORATION PHASE

     During the first exploration phase the Holder will reinterpret, reanalyze
and integrate all existing geological, geophysical and geochemical data.
Besides we will collect soil samples and analyze them for the presence of mobile
mercury which is the best indication of buried gold deposits in Nevada.
Generation of exploration models in the concession blocks and definition of
zones with potential gold mineralization will be the main results of the
described works.

A.   Stages and scope of work in the First Exploration Phase

1)   Regional evaluation

2)   Detailed analysis of geophysical and geochemical data, and definition of
     prospective areas

3)   Experimental work related to implementation of the mobile mercury method

4)   Selection of 5-8 areas where detailed exploration work will be conducted in
     the second phase of exploration.

B.   Scope of work in the First Exploration Phase


1)   Regional evaluation

     a)   Analysis of geological data and regional geophysics and geochemistry

          -    analysis and interpretation of existing geophysical data
               (electric and electromagnetic methods, gravity and magnetics,
               seismic)

     b)   Generation of detailed tectonic map of the concession area showing
          geological terranes and dislocation zones.

2)   Detailed analysis of geophysical and geochemical data, and definition of
     prospective areas

     a)   Definition of tectonic zones prospective for circulation of
          hydrothermal solutions and potential gold presence.

     b)   Definition of mineralized halos generated by granitic intrusives.

     c)   Definition of serpentinite zones.

3)   Experimental work related to implementation of the mobile mercury method

     a)   Collection of 3,000 samples from different depths in the mineralized
          areas and in the areas lacking mineralization but considered
          prospective, in order to determine the contamination level.

     b)   evaluation of usability and optimal conditions for implementation of
          the mobile mercury method.

4)   Selection of 5-8 (1-3 km2) areas with indication of gold mineralization
     where detailed exploration work will be conducted in the second phase of
     exploration.

C.   Time of initiation and duration of the First Exploration Phase

1)   Regional evaluation

     Regional evaluation will start no later than 30 days from the date of
receiving the concession and all existing technical data from the concession
area, and will last no longer than 6 months.

2)   Detailed analysis will begin no later than 6 months from the date of
     receiving the concession, and will last no longer than 6 months.

3)   Experimental work related to implementation of the mobile mercury method
     will begin immediately after receiving the concession, provided the weather
     conditions permit, and will last no longer than 6 months.

SECOND EXPLORATION PHASE

     The scope of work and selection of the exploration in the second phase will
depend on the results of the First Phase.  In the area of Fore-Sudetic Block
where a cover of unconsolidated sediments exists, traditional exploration
methods are not very useful.  Exploration techniques have then rely on modern
geophysical and geochemical methods implemented and tested during the 10 last
years in similar geological conditions in Nevada.

     We expect that the results of the first phase will allow to define
anomalous zones and select the most useful geophysical and geochemical methods
to be applied in the second phase.  The works of the second phase will be
concentrated in 5-8 prospective anomalous zones (1-3 km2) defined at the end of
the first phase.

A.   Stages and scope of work in the Second Exploration Phase

1)   Collection of 300-400 surface samples from each prospective area in order
     to localize the source of anomalies (total of 3,000 samples).

2)   Analysis of collected samples for mobile mercury, and then analysis of
     anomalous samples for Au, Ag, Sb, As, TI, Ba.

3)   Detail geophysical work in the anomalous zones.  The results will allow to
     determine physical parameters of sources of anomalies such as their depth,
     shape and size.

4)   Integration of obtained geophysical and geochemical information, and
