DOW JONES

Wall Street ended an erratic quarter with a modest advance Friday as falling oil prices helped ease concerns about a weakening consumer environment in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Hurricane Katrina has knocked the economy for a loop, and whether it revives or slips into recession depends on whether nervous consumers are willing to spend more.
New figures on Friday showed the storm caused incomes to fall in August, reflecting $100 billion in losses by people who didn't have adequate insurance to cover damage to homes, businesses and vehicles.

MACMIN SILVER / NEW GUINEA GOLD

NEWS RELEASE

MT PENCK PROPERTY SIMILAR TO ROUND MOUNTAIN GOLD MINE, NEVADA . DRILLING TO RESUME IN DECEMBER 2005

Vancouver 29^th September 2005. The Mt Penck evaluation program has defined initial drill targets at the Kavala East and Koibua prospects. Further targets are expected to be defined when all geochemical results from the current field program are available and assessed.

The Mt Penck property is in West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. It is relatively accessible being situated within a few kilometres of the coast of New Britain. The property is held by Kanon Resources Ltd (Kanon), a company owned 50/50 by New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) and Vangold Resources Ltd. NGG has earned a 20% interest by way of joint venture bringing its effective interest in the project to 60%. NGG is the Operator.

The assessment program has included the following:

Complete review of Kanon data and available data from earlier exploration by BHP and Indo Pacific
Review of aeromagnetic and radiometric data by consulting geophysicist Peter Swiriduik
Air-photo geological/structural interpretation
Completion of surveyed grid over an area of approximately 2sq km and collection of approximately 560 auger soil samples and 100 rock samples, which together with existing geochemical data will allow a comprehensive surface geochemical assessment of the Mt Penck mineralised system.

Based on the review outlined above and of historical data, as further described, New Guinea Gold has concluded that:

The Mt Penck system has similarities to the Round Mountain gold mine in Nevada USA, which has produced 7.0 million ounces of gold since 1976.
The Mt Penck mineralised area covers approximately 2 sq kms as a part of the eroded Mt Penck stratovolcano complex.
Gold mineralisation is widespread and that there has been sufficient exploration to show that potential exists to define a substantial resource of gold mineralisation.
The mineralisation is controlled by both steeply dipping structures and low dipping favourable rock units. The fact that mineralisation occurs in these near horizontal units suggests gold mineralisation could occur in areas of Mt Penck without any visible surface expression. This will complicate exploration and require extensive "wild cat" drilling.
An extensive drilling program is planned commencing towards the end of 2005 and which could take 12 months to conclude. Drill results should be reported on a regular basis from early 2006.

First Kodu Drill Hole Returns 22m Grading 0.50% Copper + 0.72 g/t Gold, Within +500m Mineralised Intercept

TasGold Ltd is pleased to report that assay results from the company’s first diamond core hole at the Kodu Deposit - Mt Bini Joint Venture with South Pacific Minerals, have been received. The most significant intercept assayed 0.50% copper + 0.72 g/t gold over 22m from 72m downhole, within 516m containing 0.13% copper + 0.21 g/t gold.
Mineralisation occurs from surface in broad potassic and propylitic altered zones within diorite porphyry and lesser wallrock. Individual peak assays were 0.98% copper and 1.34 g/t gold.
Hole KD 001 assay results have documented a deep, copper and gold mineralised system on the eastern margin of the Kodu intrusive, in its northern sector. Our drilling to date has been concentrated in this sector and visual appraisals of holes 2, 3 and 4 suggest similar overall tenors of mineralisation. - Web Site

More positive results from new “Wombat” copper prospect

Moonta Project Gawler Craton, South Australia

Three diamond core holes completed below the Wombat ironstone have all intersected encouraging wide intervals of low grade copper mineralisation within a shear structure (Table 1). In addition, a deep weathered, higher grade intercept of secondary copper sulfide mineralisation comprising 10 metres at 2.45% copper and 0.7g/t gold from 259 metres was intersected in the most western hole, MPD-05-21. This higher grade zone occurs within a 36 metre intercept averaging 1.14% copper and 0.29g/t gold from 239 metres. The large width of the copper mineralised shear zone, the presence of acid soluble secondary copper sulfide minerals and the localised zones of higher copper grade are encouraging. An additional 2,022 metres of shallow aircore drilling along the strike of the copper mineralised structures has been completed recently. Follow-up programs are being assessed and are expected to recommence in December 2005 following the farm harvest season. - Web Site

Diamond Drilling commenced at Copper Hill

A diamond drill rig has commenced drilling the diamond tails from the bottom of the three RC pre-collar holes drilled to around 180 to 200m depth at Copper Hill.

As stated in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 13 September 2005, the three RC pre-collar holes, numbered GCHR-46, GCHR-47 and GCHR-52, returned results of up to 180m at 1.25 g/t gold equivalent from surface, and 14m at 3.99 g/t gold equivalent from 86m downhole. The diamond tails will test for continuity of gold-copper mineralisation downhole, adding approximately 100m to the length of each hole.

In addition, the recent RC drilling results provided encouragement for the GCR Board to approve an additional 11 hole 3,000m RC drilling programme, due to commence next week, aimed at expanding the gold-copper resource at Copper Hill. - Web Site

DOW JONES

Wall Street ended a volatile session mixed Wednesday as investors welcomed new government data showing a reinvigorated industrial sector but wrestled with a jump in oil prices that briefly sent crude futures above $67 per barrel.
Crude oil futures surged higher after the Energy Department reported a larger-than-expected drawdown in the nation's crude oil reserves, although the report also showed a surprise surplus in gasoline inventories.

New orders for big-ticket manufactured products rose in August at the fastest pace in three months, providing a reassuring sign that American factories are not headed for another slump.

GOLDSEARCH

Panaon Gold Project in the Philippines

Goldsearch advises that it has entered an agreement with Medusa Mining Limited, an ASX listed company, whereby Goldsearch will joint venture a gold project over the former Pinut-an Gold Mine and surrounding areas located on Panaon Island in the southern Philippines by undertaking work on the Project to a value of US$1 million to earn a 50% interest in the Project.

Goldsearch and Medusa have signed a heads of agreement whereby Goldsearch will receive 50% of the production from the Project and obtain an equity in any plant and equipment to be acquired for the Project. The Panaon Project is covered by granted Exploration Permit number EP-2005-000004-V111, granted on 5 March 2005 of 1,646 hectares, which is held by Vulcan Industrial and Mining Corporation, a public company in the Philippines, and contains the previously abandoned Pinut-an Gold mine. The Project is located on Panaon Island in Southern Leyte, immediately north of Surigao City which is reached by domestic flights from Manila. Access from Surigao City is by passenger boat and inter-island vehicular ferry.

Vulcan entered an operating agreement with an associate company of Medusa which acquired the right to mine and will pay a 3% net refinery return royalty to Vulcan. Vulcan has retained a right to re-acquire 20% of the Project for a 100% premium on expenditure at the time of the exercise.

Mt Andewa Property Description and Exploration Update

SUMMARY
Geological reconnaissance and initial sampling has been completed at Mt Andewa (EL 1345) and results from 107 samples have been received. The program was conducted by JV partner South Pacific Minerals Corp (TSX-V: SPZ) in the caldera of an extinct, Pleistocene strato-volcano and was the first exploration in the subdistrict for ~16 years. TasGold has a 15% free carried interest to completion of a bankable feasibility study and financial closure, plus 14.5% (3M shares) direct equity in South Pacific for an effective 27.3% interest in the project.

The best continuous chip channel samples of quartz veins included: 3m of 14.26 g/t gold (containing 1m of 21.9 g/t), 5m of 8.61 g/t, 2m of 4.86 g/t, 6.7m of 1.2 g/t, 6m of 1.21 g/t, 1m of 5.90 g/t and 1m of 5.41 g/t gold.

A peak of 87 g/t silver in a 1m channel sample was noted and more than 90% of the samples collected were mineralised at >0.1g/t gold.

Siliceous breccia veins averaging ~3m in width are noted within a 1000m long zone at Komsen Prospect that contains a 250m section historically averaging 4.93 g/t gold. Previous trench assay results included up to:
15.6m of 5.12 g/t, 9m of 6.44 g/t, 9m of 5.64 g/t, 6m of 8.49 g/t, 15m of 1.83 g/t and 5.9m of 3.86 g/t + 5.1m of 3.27 g/t gold. - Web Site

KAGARA ZINC

MUNGANA DRILLING UPDATE

Kagara Zinc Ltd is pleased to announce the results of several drill holes from the ongoing deep diamond drilling program at Mungana, near Chillagoe, in far north Queensland. This program is being carried out as part of a feasibility study into the establishment of a second zinc processing facility in the area.

Results include a very high grade intersection in diamond drill hole 883W2 of 7.9 metres at 24.1% zinc and visually high grade intersections of 24.1 metres in diamond drill hole 888 and 7.2 metres in diamond drill hole 883W3 for which assays have not yet been received (see attached longitudinal projection).

This drilling program is rapidly defining a substantial body of high grade zinc-copper mineralisation, extending over a strike length of 400 metres, beneath the 250 metre RL at Mungana. As can be seen from the longitudinal projection, these recent holes fall largely outside of the current gold and base metal resources and as soon as the drill out of Mungana is completed in November 2005, new resources will be calculated.

The porphyry and skarn related gold-copper-silver-molybdenum mineralisation which envelopes the base metal mineralisation will be reported as results are received and collated.- Web Site

COMET RIDGE

Annual Report

2004/2005 was a year of achievement for Comet Ridge with reserves certification being achieved at Tipton West in Queensland and a new business initiative incorporating oil and gas exploration in the United States of America now in place.

As a result, the Company has become a stronger entity with a growing portfolio of projects providing a solid foundation from which to build.

Following the close of the financial year the Company completed the sale of its minority interest in the Tipton West coal seam gas project, Queensland, in a transaction that will see more than $12.5 million flow into the Company over the next few years. As a result the Company has a sound balance sheet with working capital on settlement in December, 2005, of more than $5.5 million.

A significant gas resource is now recognized at Mahalo, Comet Ridge’s second core coal seam gas project. This project lies on the same geological structure and is targeting the same coals that produce at the world class Fairview and Spring Gully coal seam gas fields. Further drilling on this project, now planned for December 2005, holds the potential to convert this discovery into a major asset for Comet Ridge. - Web Site

PSC Area B: Tevét-2 Combined Appraisal and Exploration Well

The ‘Stena Tay’ rig drilled the Tevét-2 well to a depth of 2,785 metres. Wireline logs, including fluid sampling and downhole pressure measurements, were acquired over the Miocene appraisal objective, where oil and gas was discovered in the Tevét-1 well. A preliminary evaluation of these data and data acquired while drilling has established that the well intersected a gross gas interval of approximately 1.5 metres above a gross oil interval of approximately 37 metres.

Whilst the hydrocarbon sands are of a similar thickness to those discovered in the Tevét-1 well, the amount of reservoir sand is less than expected. Further studies will be required to determine the significance of the Tevét-2 result.

At midnight on 26 September 2005, preparations were underway to drill to the next casing point.

The well will then target a deeper exploration prospect. The planned total depth of the well is approximately 3,965 metres.

SYDNEY GAS

Annual Report 2005

Our Company is in the process of making fundamental changes. These changes are so far-reaching that it is not an exaggeration to describe them as amounting to reinventing the Company.

The Board and senior management began the process of embarking on these changes in the last few days of the 2004/2005 Financial Year. Since then the process has dramatically accelerated. Things are happening so rapidly that some elements of this Annual Report will quickly become out of date.
For example, the most fundamental change of all, the announcement of the new joint venture arrangement with AGL, occurred just a few days before this Annual Report went to press. It therefore cannot be covered in any detail in this document.

Substantial changes to Sydney Gas which have occurred since the end of the 2004/2005 Financial Year include:

The announcement of a 50:50 joint venture with AGL for the development of all our assets in NSW;
Arising from the joint venture financial arrangements, the stabilisation of the finances of Sydney Gas including mechanisms for underpinning the convertible notes due for redemption next year as well as the repayment of the Chimaera debt;
A review of the Wyong project which concluded that the business case was not sustainable and therefore that project has been abandoned;
Negotiation of a new 15 year (10 years plus a 5 year option) Gas Supply Agreement with AGL for the Camden project;
The appointment of Andrew Purcell as the new CEO and Managing Director;
The departure of 4 senior executives including the former CEO; and
Implementation of a program to reduce corporate overheads by $3 million in the next financial year from the restructuring of senior management positions, combined with more effective cost controls.

In the coming months there will be further changes. Together with our joint venture partner, Sydney Gas will be developing proposals to increase production at Camden while simultaneously becoming more active in the Hunter region.- Web Site

GIPPSLAND OFFSHORE PETROLEUM

Drilling notification: Offshore Gilbert-1 well

Gippsland Offshore Petroleum Limited is pleased to announce that drilling of the Gilbert-1 well in the Vic-P-47 Gilbert Block is scheduled to commence early October, 2005. Notification has been received this morning that the Ocean Patriot rig is expected to be released to the Gilbert JV 30 September.

Gilbert-1 represents Gippsland Offshore Petroleum's first offshore well and marks the commencement of their Gippsland Basin offshore exploration effort. On completion of the Gilbert-1 well, Gippsland Offshore Petroleum will have earned a 51% interest in the Gilbert Block which also houses the Foster Prospect and the Limb Lead.

The drilling is under the management of the Bass Strait Oil Company Limited who have executed 2 drilling options with the Ocean Patriot semi-submersible rig. The rig is expected to be on site for approximately 11 days drilling to a total depth of 910m to test both the Gurnard and Strzlecki reservoir potential.

Under the farm-in agreement for the Gilbert Block, the Gippsland Offshore Petroleum is committed to 95% of the drilling costs of Gilbert-1 estimated at $5.7M (with the other 5% of the costs being borne by Eagle Bay Resources NL).

LAKES OIL

ACTIVITY UPDATE

Patrobus 1 Stratigraphic Core Hole
PEP 155 Eastern Block, Onshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX code "LKO") as operator advises that whilst drilling the "top hole" a conglomerate in an old river bed was encountered causing a delay. A cable tool rig was brought in to drill through the conglomerate and temporary surface casing has now been run. It is expected that drilling with the coring rig will re-commence on Wednesday.

Gilbert - 1 Well
VIC/P47 Offshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria

The joint venture has been advised the "Ocean Patriot" semi-submersible rig should be available to move on site within the next two weeks to commence the drilling of the Gilbert - 1 well. Lakes Oil has a 26% free carry through the drilling of this well to casing point. We expect drilling to take approximately seven to ten days. Our targets in this well are the Gurnard and Latrobe Formations expected to be reached at approximately 600 metres.

Boundary Creek - 2 Well
PEP 157 Onshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria

An environmental study has been completed and work on the drilling pad is expected to commence early this week. It is anticipated that drilling will commence on approximately 3 October 2005. This well is a follow up well to our Boundary Creek - 1 core hole drilled August 2001 which encountered strong gas shows, but was only drilled to 366 metres. Examination of the well logs from two wells drilled near Longford on the Baragwanath Anticline suggest the possibility that tight gas may be present in those wells. However as they were drilled in the early 1960's there was little interest in tight gas at a time when gas prices were low and there was no infrastructure.

The Baragwanath Anticline, a huge Anticline in excess of 70 kilometres in length, has been ignored because the productive offshore Latrobe Formation comes to the surface and is breached. The experience Lakes Oil gained from drilling the Wombat and Trifon wells has lead us to believe the possibility of commercial gas existing below that formation in the Strzelecki Formation. This will be a most interesting well with considerable ramifications if we are correct.

Wombat - 1 and 3 wells
PEP 157 Onshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria

During the past week the Wombat 1 and 3 wells were opened. The amount of gas coming to surface appears to have increased. It has been decided to again connect both these wells to a separator to separate out any liquids and establish an accurate measurement of the gas flow.

During the flow back of the Wombat - 3 well slugs of oil where observed on the surface. This is consistent with the oil which flowed into the well when it was originally opened. We still do not fully understand this occurrence, however we may have a better understanding after the well has been flowed through the separator.

Eagle Prospect
Onshore California, U.S.A.

Lakes Oil has been advised by the operator that a rig has been obtained and drilling of the Eagle II well is expected to commence the first week in November 2005.

STELLAR RESOURCES

Drilling to start on Goldfinger, Broken Hill Region, NSW

Stellar Resources is pleased to announce that a diamond drill rig has been mobilized to the Goldfinger prospect, which is located approximately 20 kilometres south of Broken Hill in NSW.

Drilling of a 600 metres long diamond drill hole will commence tomorrow to test the central, high density part of the Falcon® gravity target at a depth of over 400 metres. Geophysical imaging of the Falcon® gravity data indicates a large "excess mass" in the central zone, where the target is expected to be intercepted at some 500 metres downhole, (Figure 1). Drilling is expected to be completed within 3 weeks after which the core will be prepared and sent for assaying.

In early 2004, a first-pass RC drilling program defined a previously unknown sequence of Broken Hill style "lode" host rocks over at least 1 kilometre of strike, with multiple intervals of anomalous lead and zinc geochemistry. Subsequent RAB drilling (65 holes on 200 metre spaced lines at 50 metre intervals) defined a zone of anomalous geochemistry in end-of-hole samples along the 3 kilometre strike of the gravity target zone, including two adjacent 50 metre spaced holes which returned 0.2 percent combined lead/zinc over 4 metres to the end of the hole.

Following a 3D inversion interpretation of the gravity data a deep diamond drill hole was sited to test the core of the density target near its eastern end, beneath the existing RC drilling (Figure 1). The drill-hole intersected a wide zone of garnet bearing metasediments showing the presence of alteration and sulphide mineralisation. An interval of anomalous zinc of 59m @ 0.25% Zn was recorded from 230 metres downhole, included a narrow intercept of 0.7m @ 5.6% Zn, from 280.7m. The long intercepts of anomalous base metals support the interpretation that the Goldfinger gravity anomaly reflects a significant zone of Broken Hill style host stratigraphy and alteration as part of a very large mineralised system.

Following this initial drilling, the 3D inversion modelling of the gravity source was reviewed and re-optimised, outlining a deeper target 600 metres west of the existing drilling. Deep penetrating Induced Polarisation geophysical surveys were subsequently run across the extent of the gravity zone and defined a possible zone of sulphide development, adjacent to the southern margin of the gravity source. The current hole is being sited to test this target.

SINO GOLD

JINFENG EXPLORATION RESULTS TO INCREASE RESOURCE BASE

Highlights

Sino Gold announces the following exploration results for the Jinfeng Project:

Deep drilling has extended the F3 Ore Domain with an intercept of 24.0m at 14.5gpt gold (including 10.0m at 31.0gpt gold); and
Drilling in the Rongban area, testing for northwestern extensions of the F3 structure, has intersected 15.0m at 4.5gpt gold.

These results at Jinfeng will increase the existing resource base of 3.5 million ounces.
At White Mountain, best recent results include 7.7m at 5.5gpt gold and 18.8 at 2.0gpt gold.

Chief Executive Officer, Jake Klein, said:

"Drilling continues to show that the highly mineralised Jinfeng system remains open. The results at depth are very exciting as the hole ended in very strong mineralisation which included bonanza grades of around 50gpt gold over several metres. Results from the Rongban area should lead to additional resources being defined and thus enable the planned open pit to be significantly extended to the northwest. - Web Site

REPUBLIC GOLD

REPUBLIC ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL INITIAL TREGOORA BACTERIAL OXIDATION TESTWORK

The Directors of Republic Gold today announce the successful conclusion of the latest round of bacterial oxidation and metallurgical testwork for the Company’s Far North Queensland projects.

In addition, Republic Gold’s Managing Director, John Kelly has recently visited the Agnes Mine in South Africa, where the world’s first commercial GEOCOAT® plant is in operation, to review the latest operational improvements, which have occurred with the GEOCOAT® process.

In summary: -

The initial BAT testwork on Tregoora mineralisation resulted in an oxidation level of 96.4% after only 12 days, with a subsequent 91.5% gold recovery by cyanidation.
This compares with the earlier Northcote result of an average of 96% oxidation in 13- 18 days and a subsequent 88% gold recovery by cyanidation
Significant advances have occurred or are still planned at the Agnes Gold Mine, with confirmation that the cost to run the GEOCOAT® section of a complete treatment plant is approximately 30% of the cost to run a BIOX® section in an equivalent location
The lower operating cost is coupled with the lower capital cost of a GEOCOAT® plant because there is almost no stainless steel required in the plant circuit, a component that is a significant cost in a BIOX® plant
Initial GEOCOAT® support rock testwork on samples of rock from Northcote and Tregoora was very positive and importantly indicates that the rock that is available is robust and is not an acid consumer, an important feature in operating the process
GEOCOAT® column testwork, the next stage of testing, will commence soon on Northcote mineralisation after an extensive diamond drilling campaign over the past few months at Northcote. This work will enable pre-feasibility studies on the project to be concluded - Web Site

PARADIGM GOLD

PDM to start drilling shortly at Brovinia gold project, SE Queensland

Paradigm Gold Ltd (Paradigm) has secured a drilling contract for the Brovinia joint venture in southeast Queensland and expects to start drilling by 6 October 2005. The Brovinia project (EPM 15036) is a joint venture between Copper Strike Limited (CSE) and Paradigm, located some 250km northwest of Brisbane near Mundubbera. The initial program will consist of a small number of RC holes each up to 100m deep to test vein targets along strike and down-dip of the old May Queen mine. Drilling by a previous explorer encountered narrow, high grade veins (up to 150g/t over 1m; also 4m at 39g/t). Mineralization at Brovinia is broadly similar in age and style to several well-known epithermal vein deposits in Queensland (e.g., Cracow, Pajingo-Vera-Nancy) associated with quartz and carbonate vein infill.

If it decides to continue beyond the initial drill program, Paradigm can earn 40% of the Brovinia project by spending $500,000 on exploration over 3 years. Paradigm then has an option to earn 51% of the project. - Web Site

TOUQUOY GOLD PROJECT – SHALLOW INTERSECTIONS UP TO 11M @ 7.0G/T GOLD FROM RESOURCE DELINEATION DRILLING PROGRAM

Atlantic Gold (ATV) is pleased to announce results from the remainder of its recently completed first stage of the resource delineation drill program to complete infill of the existing drilling of the Touquoy Deposit on 20m x 25m centres. A total of 70 NQ diamond holes (MR-05-060 to MR-05-129) for 5477m were drilled to advance the Feasibility Study and results of the first 26 holes have been previously reported. Assay results from the remaining holes have now been received and results, as previously, are in line with expectations. Best results, included 11m @ 7.0g/t from 16m, 14m @ 5.1g/t from 26m and 15m @ 3.3g/t (cut to 30g/t) from 40m.

These results confirm our expectations about the good continuity of the major mineralised zones. The accompanying cross section, Section 22075E at the eastern end of the deposit, illustrates this point with resolution of a strong, shallow, gently dipping zone of mineralisation over 100m across strike by the three infill holes MR-05-120, 121 and 125. This disposition of wide, continuous, shallow gently dipping mineralisation, also evident on sections further west, foreshadows the low waste:ore ratio which contributes to the favourable economics of this project. - Web Site

Commencement of the Phase 3 drill program on the NE Botswana Nickel Project.

This drill program will focus on testing the large Kima East electromagnetic conductor and conductors at the Dikoloti North prospect. The Kima East conductor is an outstanding target and has the potential to be due to a significant accumulation of nickel sulphides. Where this conductor was previously tested on its western extremity massive nickel sulphides were intersected. Ground electromagnetic data suggests that the intersected sulphide mineralisation potentially thickens to the east and the drill hole KM4-05 will test the very centre of the new conductor. - Web Site

DOW JONES

A hike in oil prices sent stocks sharply lower Wednesday as traders worried about the damage that Hurricane Rita might wreak on Texas refineries. The Dow Jones industrial average lost more than 100 points.

Oil companies began closing Texas refineries Wednesday, threatening the supply of gasoline to the nation's pumps as Hurricane Rita grew more violent and took aim at a stretch of Gulf coast that holds one-fourth of the nation's oil-refining capacity.

STELLAR RESOURCES

Advanced Uranium Deposit - Acquisition

Stellar Resources Limited is pleased to announce an agreement to purchase Hillment Pty Ltd, the registered owner of EL 3372, which embraces the major proportion of the "Warrior" palaeochannel hosted uranium deposit, located west of Tarcoola in central South Australia (Figure1).

The "Warrior" palaeochannel was explored by PNC Exploration Australia Pty Ltd (PNC) in the late 1970s and uranium mineralisation has been defined in 8 discrete zones over a total strike length of approximately 15 kilometres."Warrior" is the largest known uranium occurrence within the Gawler Craton. Although no economic resource was delineated in previous drilling, Stellar believes that the geometry and uranium distribution within the channel has not been fully assessed. Stellar is confident that with the application of modern exploration techniques and additional drilling, new zones of mineralisation will be discovered and the existing zones enhanced in both grade and dimensions.

Seven of the known mineralised zones fall within EL3372 and Stellar's assessment of existing drilling indicates that a number of these zones are open along the channel axis (Figure 2). In the company's view, there is also significant scope for development of additional channels within the license area, where no drilling has been undertaken.

A trial program of airborne electro-magnetic (EM) surveying is planned within the next month to guide future drilling to better define the geometry of the channel and controls on distribution of roll-front uranium mineralisation.

Extensive development of prospective palaeochannels occurs within Stellar's other Tarcoola licenses (Figure 1), and the evaluation of the "Warrior" mineralisation will be an integral part of its approach to assessing the more regional opportunities. In particular, existing Falcon¨ gravity data have been shown to reliably map the distribution of channel development in the eastern portion of Stellar's licences.

In consideration for this acquisition, Stellar has agreed to issue 1.6 million ordinary fully paid shares in the Company at an issue price of 32 cents per share and make a cash payment of $100,000. The Company will apply for ASX quotation of these new shares which will, from the date of issue, rank equally with all other issued ordinary shares. The Company will not be seeking the prior approval of shareholders to this proposed issue of shares but will seek ratification of this action at a future general meeting of the company.

Temma: North West Tasmania - New Exploration Potential

Highlights

The Director of Mines proposes to recommend to the Minister of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources that Jaguar Minerals be granted a 127 km2 exploration license in north western Tasmania
Jaguar believes this project is highly prospective as the area is underlain by Proterozoic sediments with strong discrete EM anomalies delineated by an airborne EM survey carried out by Mineral Resources Tasmania in 2002.
It is thought that these conductors may reflect massive sulphide mineralisation in otherwise poorly conductive quartzite rocks.
The target areas highlighted by the MRT electromagnetic survey are clearly defined and represent “walk up” drill targets. - Web Site

Mauritania Drilling Programme Progress Report

PSC Area B: Espadon-1A and Tevét-2 Wells
The Espadon-1A well was plugged and abandoned on 15 September 2005 following analysis of wireline logs which indicated that no significant hydrocarbons were encountered by the well.

The ‘Stena Tay’ drilling rig then moved to the Tevét-2 well, which spudded on 16 September.
This well is presently at 1,510 metres and 13 3/8” casing is being set.

The Tevét-2 well is located 2.5 kilometres to the south of the discovery well Tevét-1, and lies in a water depth of 466 metres. The well is a combined appraisal and exploration well; it is designed to appraise the Tevét miocene oil discovery and to explore a deeper cretaceous exploration prospect. The planned total depth of the well is approximately 3,965 metres.

Chinguetti Development Wells
The Chinguetti oil development in Mauritania is now 88% complete. First oil is estimated for February 2006.

The project continues to encounter cost pressures, and known project costs to start-up now total US$705 million. An additional US$45 million is currently envisaged for contingencies. With all upper completions now installed, the forward project risk lies primarily in the installation phase, where some incremental costs are already being incurred in respect of the subsea production flowlines.- Web Site

Mauritania Offshore Drilling Update

Woodside Mauritania Pty. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodside Petroleum Ltd., reports the following activity offshore Mauritania since the last report issued on 13 September 2005.

PSC Area B: Espadon-1A and Tevét-2 Wells
The Espadon-1A well was plugged and abandoned on 15 September 2005 following analysis of wireline logs which indicated no significant hydrocarbons were encountered in the well.

The Tevét-2 well was spudded on 16 September 2005 by the ‘Stena Tay’ drill rig and has been drilled to a depth of 1,510 metres where casing has been set.

The Tevét-2 well is located 2.5 kilometres to the south of the discovery well Tevét-1, in a water depth of 466 metres. The Tevét-2 well is a combined exploration and appraisal well to both appraise the Tevét discovery and target a deeper exploration prospect beneath the Tevét Miocene reservoir. The planned total depth of the well is approximately 3,965 metres.

At midnight on 19 September 2005, preparations were underway to drill ahead to the shallower of the two objectives.

Chinguetti Development Wells
The 'West Navigator’ drillship continues to perform completion work on Chinguetti Development wells. Woodside does not plan to issue regular announcements regarding operations on Chinguetti development wells but will do so if necessary to comply with its continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing Rules.

CHINGUETTI SCHEDULE AND COST
The Woodside-operated offshore Chinguetti oil development in Mauritania remains on schedule for first oil in February 2006. The project is 88% complete.

The Chinguetti joint venture has completed an update of estimated project costs. Known project costs to complete the installation and start-up total US$705 million. An additional US$45 million has been set aside to cover unplanned contingencies that may occur during the offshore, deep-water installation program.

The current project cost estimate is primarily a result of increased drilling scope due to complex geology, resulting in extra time to drill sidetracks, as well as additional costs to prepare the subsea flowlines for installation.

The Chinguetti joint venture is operated under a production sharing contract subject to project cost recovery. Chinguetti joint venture interests are: Woodside 47.38448%; Hardman Resources 19.00800%, BG Group 10.23440%, Premier 8.12328%, Roc Oil 3.24984% and Groupe Projet Chinguetti 12%. - Web Site

Stocks plummeted Monday as heightened fears of another hurricane hitting the Gulf Coast sent oil prices racing past $67 a barrel and investors grew anxious about the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest-rate meeting.

Crude-oil futures surged more than $4 -- the biggest one-day price jump ever -- amid worries that Tropical Storm Rita strengthening off the Bahamas could hit U.S. oil facilities in the Gulf of Mexico later this week, striking another blow at an industry struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina.- Web Site

ILMENITE CONTRACT SIGNED

Monto Minerals today announced the signing of the offtake agreement for the supply of 20,000 tonnes of ilmenite from the Goondicum Industrial Minerals Project to a European customer during 2006.

Monto Chief Executive, Mr Geoff Moore, said that the agreement, which was announced in late August, was formally signed last Friday, European time, by Monto’s Marketing Manager, Mr Hugh Babbage. Mr Babbage is currently meeting with potential customers in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

“Mr Babbage is meeting with five key customers to discuss offtake agreements for the supply in excess of 100,000 tonnes per year of the project’s feldspar,” Mr Moore said.
“Sign-off of only two thirds of this would exceed feasibility base case assumptions for feldspar sales for year 1 of the project,” he added.

“We expect to finalise these contracts in early to mid 2006.”

Monto is currently finalising financing for the planned Goondicum project and is targeting initial production for mid calendar 2006. - Web Site

100% Success in First Five Tennessee Gas Wells
Average daily open flow rate of 130,000cfd per well

Norwest and its partners have achieved a 100-percent success level for the first five wells completed on its Koppers North and Carden Prospect in Campbell County, Tennessee.

The wells have been drilled to approximately 914 metres (3000') in depth, to fully penetrate a thickened target Devonian Shale, providing up to 252 metres of potential gas producing interval. The wells are now perforated and fraced, to produce average open flows of 130 mcfd of natural gas each. High bottom hole pressures have been recorded in the wells.

Gathering pipelines have been laid to each well, and production will commence as soon as the nitrogen levels from the fracing operations have decreased to levels acceptable for sales gas.

Norwest CEO Joe Salomon said that overall, this is a very satisfactory result.

"While the flow rates have been a little less than expected, the wells show a consistent capacity to produce gas, and the current gas prices of between US$11 and $12 are at an all time high. Given these flow rates from the initial wells, it is highly likely that up to 100 wells will be drilled over the 10,400 acre project area."

Norwest's interest in each of the wells drilled is 37.5% with an approximate 29% net revenue interest. After drilling the first 20 wells and committing to another 20 wells, Norwest will earn the same interest level in the whole project. Other partners are project operator Miller Petroleum, Inc. out of Huntsville, Tennessee and Golden Triangle Energy, Inc., Houston, Texas. - Web Site

Report on Bolivian Visit

The biggest issue that the Board had prior to the visit was the political climate in Bolivia. After a week in Bolivia and a number of meetings with influential people, the Board was satisfied with the political risk. To reinforce this view, in meeting with Australia's Honorary Consul he told us of the timing of his company's US$600M investment decision, which has at least US$200M coming from 2 major European banks. The company and the banks made the favourable decision in the week after the former President resigned. Construction for this project is now well underway.

The mining lobby in Bolivia is particularly powerful. By this I don't mean the Bolivian Chamber of Mines but the local people. A lot of villages are involved in mining through local co-operatives. Everything we saw and heard indicated that the villages at Luzon's two projects want the projects to proceed.

From a technical point of view, Amayapampa was pretty much as had been described in the various feasibility studies and reports we had read. Despite all the feasibility work done to-date, this work is not yet to the "bankable" status. There are some things that need doing to get the project to this point. These are covered in the announcement. Apart from the additional metallurgical testwork we are proposing, and any flow-on consequences for plant design and costings, most of the remainder of the work has been done but just not documented adequately.

From a potential funding viewpoint, we had meetings with three banks about potential funding for the Amayapampa Project and a number of meetings with stockbrokers and fund managers in Canada and London, with all but one being very positive about the projects.

DOW JONES

America's deficit in the broadest measure of international trade showed a slight improvement in the April-June quarter although it was still at the second-highest level in history.

The Commerce Department reported that the deficit in the U.S. current account totaled $195.7 billion in the second quarter. That was down 1.5 percent from the deficit in the first three months of this year -- $198.7 billion -- which was the all-time high.

Stocks gained Friday, narrowing the week's losses as the energy and basic materials sectors improved and Dow components Exxon Mobil Corp. and Intel Corp. climbed on upgrades.

Crude-oil prices dropped to $63 a barrel Friday after OPEC reaffirmed traders' belief that the high retail price of gas is driving away consumers.

MATRIX METALS

Clarification to ASX Announcement of 15 September 2005 titled:

“Major Resource Drilling Program Commences at White Range
Targets: McCabe, Leonie and Vulcan Resource”

Matrix stated in the release of 15 September 2005, “Drilling programs at McCabe completed during 2005 have confirmed the plus 5 million tonne leachable copper resource potential of the deposit”.

This statement considers the following;

Significant and widespread drill intercepts were reported from McCabe on 12 July 2005, which upon inclusion into a new resource estimate are likely to increase the size of the existing resource.
Geological mapping has documented breccia horizons containing visible signs of copper significant distances directly along strike of the drilled resource horizon.
Soil sampling has documented copper and gold anomalies over an a large area at McCabe extending a further 500 metres to the north, 800 metres to the south and 1,500 metres to the east. This anomalism is consistent with mapped geological features and drilled copper mineralisation.

The existing resource area, the drill extended mineralisation and the zones of copper in soils anomalism are detailed in Figure 1.4.
The current resource at McCabe is 240,000 tonnes at 1.35% Cu in the Measured Category, 320,000 tonnes at 1.17 % Cu in the Indicated Category and 160,000 tonnes at 1.20% Cu in the Inferred Category, for a total of 720,000 tonnes at 1.24% Cu (0.8 % Cut off).

These considerations lead to the conclusion that a likely target range of the leachable tonnes of copper mineralisation is somewhere between 4 and 10 million tonnes.

Matrix advises the following amended statement:
“Given the existence of the current resource at McCabe, the significant drill intercepts reported on 12 July 2005 (which are not currently included in the published resource estimate), the evidence from soil sampling and geological mapping of anomalism related to the drilled mineralisation which extend a further 500 metres to the north, 800 metres to the south and 1,500 metres to the east, the Company considers that a likely target range of leachable tonnes of copper mineralisation at McCabe is somewhere between 4 and 10 million tonnes.”

The potential quantity of tonnes is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration at McCabe to define a Mineral Resource (greater than the 720,000 tonnes at 1.24% Cu (0.8 % Cut off) referred to in point 4 above) and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in determination of a Mineral Resource of the above magnitude.

Vulcan Resource Categories
Matrix also stated in the release “that the resource estimate for Vulcan is 458,000t @ 1.08% copper”.
Matrix advises that the resource estimate is categorised as per the table below:

Vulcan Resource Categorisation

Category	Tonnes	% Cu
Indicated	340,000	1.16
Inferred	118,000	0.82
Total	458,000	1.08

MONTO MINERALS

Offtake Agreements Signed for All Three Industrial Minerals

Monto Minerals today signed an offtake agreement with Ausmin Australia Pty Ltd (Ausmin) for the supply of apatite for the manufacture of organic fertiliser.

Under the agreement Monto will supply Ausmin with 25,000 t/yr of apatite for 5 years. Ausmin also has the first option to purchase apatite production above 25,000 t/yr and can extend the agreement for a further 5 years.

Announcing this today, Monto Executive Chairman Mr Peter Slaughter said that Monto now has offtake agreements with customers for each of the company’s principal products – feldspar, ilmenite and apatite.

“This brings the proportion of Monto’s first year’s planned production under signed offtake agreements, or agreed prior to signing, to almost 50% with a similar tonnage contracted for the second year” he said - Web Site

Approves development of Cortez Hills & Wallaby

Vancouver, Canada: Placer Dome Inc. (NYSE, TSX, ASX: PDG) announces it has approved the development of the Cortez Hills gold project on Placer Dome's 60%-owned Cortez Joint Venture property in Nevada and the Wallaby underground project at the Granny Smith mine in Western Australia.

"Cortez Hills is an exciting opportunity for the company," said President and CEO Peter Tomsett. "It is a high-value project that demonstrates our ability to create value from our exploration programs. We expect to be in the Cortez trend for many years and this project is another significant development that underscores the value of the land package the joint venture has acquired around the mine."

The Cortez Hills project involves the development of two adjacent deposits - Cortez Hills and Pediment. Ore from the deposits will be milled at the existing Pipeline mill or leached at a new facility to be constructed near the deposits. Placer Dome's share of production from the project is expected to total 2.8 million ounces at average cash costs of approximately $170 per ounce(1) over a seven-year mining schedule. Placer Dome's share of capital costs is estimated at $245 million(2). Commencement of construction is subject to receiving required permits(3) and joint venture partner approval.

Placer Dome also approved the development of the Wallaby underground project at the Granny Smith mine in Western Australia. The project will allow conversion and development of the gold resources that lie immediately beneath the Wallaby open pit, which is currently being mined.

Electric logging of Basker-2 is being completed and preparations are being made to set a 178mm (7”) liner at the total depth of 3,241m MDRT prior to completing the well for production.

The preliminary analysis of the electric logs, pressure surveys and sampling of the well has confirmed the decision to proceed with development as originally planned. The Basker-2 productive horizons came in more than 20 metres high to Basker-1 with net pay thickness being similar to Basker-1. Some 45 valid pressure tests have been completed and fluid samples are being obtained. The water pressure gradient throughout the section indicates communication with the Gippsland Basin aquifer. Reserves will be reviewed independently with results not anticipated for four to six weeks.

Oil samples have also been recovered to be used for fluid assays required for the marketing of the crude oil.

After the liner is run and cemented the selective “intelligent” completion will be run. Initial clean-up flows from the well are anticipated in seven to ten days, assuming trouble free operations.

A sharp rise in oil prices sent stocks sliding Wednesday as investors nervously eyed new data showing that high energy prices have started to slow the economy. Profit-taking in the technology sector also weighed heavily on the markets.

Crude futures surged as refinery recovery remained sluggish on the Gulf Coast and the government announced a sharp drawdown in the nation's oil reserves.

Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest Airlines Corp., hobbled by high fuel costs and heavy debt and pension obligations, filed for bankruptcy protection from creditors.

GRAVITY DIAMONDS

Aeromagnetic Survey Defines Numerous High Priority Targets for Drilling in the DRC; Northern Australian Program Progresses

Aeromagnetic survey over 6,900 square kilometres completed at Luebo, DRC
Preliminary interpretation defines 30 high priority targets for follow-up
Drilling of selected targets proposed to commence in October

Gravity Diamonds is pleased to announce that it has received the final processed aeromagnetic data from the aerial survey recently completed over the Luebo area in the Kasai diamond exploration program in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The survey covered a total area of 6,900 square kilometres in a district where there are extensive alluvial workings by artisan diamond miners. As previously reported, the kimberlitic indicator mineral ("KIM") sampling program carried out in late 2004 identified numerous positive KIMs, including pyrope garnets, in the area. A significant number of these were classified as G10s, which are considered to be an excellent indicator for the occurrence of diamondiferous kimberlite. Primary surface textures and the coarse size of the KIM grains imply that, in all likelihood, they were recovered in locations very close to their original source.

The magnetic survey has revealed numerous magnetic signatures that are consistent with responses from kimberlite pipes. Importantly, the responses occur in several broad clusters that would suggest the presence of individual kimberlite fields in the area.

In the Australian diamond program in the Northern Territory, exploration has commenced on Aboriginal Freehold Land within the Benda Bluff, Cox Arnold and Tee Dee FALCON® survey areas as approvals have been obtained to carry out geochemical sampling programs. Numerous promising targets have been identified for follow-up in locations associated with historic indicator mineral and microdiamond anomalism. Field crews have been mobilised with work expected to be completed in October........

GRADE CONTROL DRILLING AT TWIN HILLS CONFIRMS CONTINUITY OF SILVER ORE

A campaign of ‘grade control' drilling will be completed over the central part of the Twin Hills silver ore deposit this week. This drilling infilled the previous ‘reserve status' drilling on a 6m by 6m block basis over the top 10-15m of the deposit and is aimed at delineating the initial 200,000 tonnes of ore to be extracted.

Assay results from ALS Chemex Laboratories in Brisbane have been received for approximately 70% of this programme and are tabulated in the attached table. Although these results do not add to the ‘reserves' base at Twin Hills, the consistent high tenor of values over significant widths provide added confidence about the continuity of silver ore in the upper part of the orebody.

Once the construction phase at Twin Hills is completed, currently scheduled to be the end of 2005, the ore defined in this grade control programme will be blasted and mined. Then it will be crushed and agglomerated prior to being stacked in 50,000 tonne cells on the heap leach pad, where it will undergo leaching. Solutions from the heaps will be pumped through the electrowinning circuit as part of the commissioning phase to optimise the production of the silver powder product.

Development Success at Jingemia-10 Development Well, Jingemia Oil Field, North Perth Basin, Western Australia

Victoria Petroleum NL has been advised by operator, Origin Energy Limited that at 1700 hours Western Standard Time (WST) the rig was released from the oil appraisal/development well Jingemia-10 located in the onshore Perth Basin Production Licence L14 after running 178 mm (7
inch) production casing and completing the well for oil production.

The drilling rig will now move to drill the next development well on the Jingemia Oil Field, Jingemia-5.

Jingemia-10 was drilled to a total measured depth of 2,587 metres. Wire line logs indicate that the target Dongara Sandstone has been intersected at 2,458.5 metres measured depth, approximately 40 metres above the presumed Jingemia Oil Field oil-water contact.

The Dongara Sandstone is 34.5 metres thick at the Jingemia-10 location and is of good quality with oil shows present throughout the interval. Wire line log interpretation indicates oil saturations throughout the Dongara Sandstone similar to the Jingemia-4 well that has flowed oil at rates of up to 4,814 barrels of oil per day from its 29 metre oil column.

Completion of the well and connection to the Jingemia Oil Field production facility is expected to commence following the running of casing, once the drilling rig has moved off location.- Web Site

Exceptional Drill Results from Asmara Joint Venture in Eritrea

Drilling by Joint Venture partner Sunridge Gold Corporation ("Sunridge") has returned exceptional assay results from the first ten diamond drill holes totalling 1,033.5 metres, at the Adi Nefas Gossan zinc-gold-copper volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit situated 6km north of the city of Asmara in Eritrea (Figure 1). These results extend the vertical depth to 155 metres with mineralisation covering 120 metres of strike. This drilling ratifies the high-grade zinc, gold and copper mineralisation discovered in drill holes NG-003-RD and NG-005-RD reported in March 2005. Mineralisation remains open at depth, to the north and possibly to the south.

A further 6 diamond drill holes have been completed with results from these holes expected over the coming weeks, bringing the total metres drilled to 2,117.3.

Based on the high quality of these results and the 2005 drill results, Sunridge will contract a second drill rig as soon as possible to accelerate drilling at Adi Nefas and further develop other targets including the Debarwa Copper/Gold deposit. - Web Site

MACMIN SILVER / NEW GUINEA GOLD

NEW GUINEA GOLD ANNOUNCES EXTENSIVE COPPER AND SIGNIFICANT MOLYBDENUM IN INITIAL TRENCH RESULTS AT SIMUKU

Vancouver, 12 September 2005. Widespread significant copper and less extensive, but still very encouraging molybdenum is present in the initial one third of the bulldozer / excavator trenching results from the Simuku porphyry copper system, West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. Values of both metals are more widespread and apparently continuous than was previously known. Approximately one third of the trench sample results have now been received with the remainder expected throughout September.

Highlights of the trenching results to date are as follows:

39m interval averaging 873ppm molybdenum, inc. a 21m interval averaging 1513ppm (0.15% Mo or 0.25% MoS2).

108m interval averaging 0.40% copper and 0.12g/t gold, including a 9m interval averaging 0.58% copper, 0.2g/t gold and 146ppm molybdenum.

105m interval averaging 0.36 copper including a 27m interval averaging 0.76% copper.

18m interval averaging 0.4% copper and 0.12g/t gold inc. a 9m interval averaging 0.1g/t gold, 0.8% copper and 98ppm molybdenum.

142m interval averaging 0.18% copper, and 74ppm molybdenum incl. a 3m interval averaging 1.58% copper, 235ppm molybdenum and 0.16g/t gold.

UPDATE ON THE TRIPLE PLATE JUNCTION'S DRILL PROGRAM AT CRATER MOUNTAIN

(Vancouver BC. 12 Sept 2005) The following press release was issued by our joint venture partner. After earn-in by Triple Plate, NGG will retain a 25% interest in the Crater Mountain Property.

Triple Plate Junction Plc (AIM : TPJ), the AIM-listed gold exploration company focusing on South East Asia, has received further encouraging results from its diamond drilling program at the Crater Mountain project in Papua New Guinea.

Following the previously reported intersection of 158 meters of 1.4 g/t gold in TPJ's first drill-hole Nev-08 at the Nevera prospect at Crater Mountain, the Company has continued to drill scout holes through the blanket of ash covering the prospect.

Drill-holes Nev-10 and Nev-11, sited approximately 250 meters north-west and 170 meters north-north west of Nev-08 respectively, intersected mineralized zones similar in nature to the mineralization in Nev-8. All three holes are characterized by multiple veining or cross-cutting vein relationships within volcaniclastic breccias containing dominant andesitic clasts and basement siltstones and mudstones.

Mineralised zones in Nev-10 and Nev-11 include:

Nev-10		8 meters of 1.29 g/t gold from 8 meters to 16 meters; and
		129 meters of 0.61 g/t gold from 312 meters to 441 meters hole depth.

Nev-11		25 meters of 2.36 g/t gold from 150 meters to 175 meters; and
		83 meters of 0.61 g/t gold from 266 meters to 349 meters hole depth.

QUAY MAGNESIUM

Preliminary Final Report

The main points are summarized below.

Quay is building a plant in Nanjing, China to produce high quality magnesium alloys designed for the automotive and electronics industries. The company raised $28.1 million via an IPO and was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in September 2004. The focus for the financial year was construction of the Nanjing facility, staff recruitment and alloy marketing activities. Significant achievements for the year are outlined in the report.

The net result for the year to 30 June 2005 is a loss of $1,385,670 (2004: $1,368,746). This largely reflects corporate and general overheads, marketing costs and other non-capital expenses, and is in line with the company’s expectations.

Quay expects to commence hot commissioning of the Nanjing plant in late September, with first alloy production in October. The full 15,000 tonne per annum production rate is scheduled to be reached by mid calendar 2006.- Web Site

Full Year Results

Full Year Results
Croesus Mining (ASX: CRS, “Croesus”) today reported a net loss after tax of $16.98 million for the year ended 30 June 2005. The loss is directly attributable to poor second half gold production which fell to 70,315 ounces and to exploration and development write downs totaling $15.74 million. Gold production during the second half at Davyhurst was adversely impacted by underperformance of the Callion pit and lower that expected grades from the Lady Gladys stockpiles. At Norseman production fell due to the deferral of the Scotia open pit, delays in stoping HV1 East and remnant mining at Bullen. The results also reflect increasing open pit contract mining costs and the impact that the rising oil price has had on power costs at Norseman.

The carrying value of tenements, including those acquired during the merger with Central Norseman Gold Corporation Limited, was reviewed by the Board and it was decided that those areas where no identified reserves had been established, would be written down accordingly.

Group annual gold production was 183,020 ounces at a cash cost of $440 per ounce. The majority of production was sourced from Norseman and Davyhurst with minor clean up from Hannan South/Binduli decommissioning.- Web Site

Progress and Current Status:
Since the last report on 6 September 2005 the Espadon-1A well was drilled by the ‘Stena Tay’ rig to a total depth of 3,042 metres. Wireline log data was then acquired. Preliminary analysis of both wireline and drilling data indicate that the well has not encountered any significant hydrocarbon bearing sands.

Chinguetti Development Wells
The 'West Navigator’ drillship is continuing operations on Chinguetti development wells. To date, all upper and lower well completions have been finished successfully and three of the six production wells have been flow tested for clean up and sampling purposes. Flow tests on the remaining three producers will be run within the next month. This removes a significant amount of the technical risk on the project.- Web Site

Further Results from Copper Hill Drilling

HIGHLIGHTS
• Broad widths of copper-gold mineralisation intersected at Copper Hill prospect in areas not previously drilled.

Golden Cross Resources Ltd has completed the drilling program at its 100% owned Copper Hill porphyry copper-gold prospect near the town Molong in NSW announced on 22 August 2005.

Holes GCHR-48 and 50 were designed to test the upper portion of the Eastern Zone and similarly encountered broad intersections of mineralisation. Within a halo of lower grade material, hole 50 encountered a higher grade zone of 18 m at 1.68 g/t gold and 0.88% copper, in a previously unknown area of mineralisation. GCR plans to follow-up this hole with further RC drilling when a rig becomes available......- Web Site

NORTH AUSTRALIAN DIAMONDS

Second +10ct Merlin ‘signature’ diamond recovered

The Board of North Australian Diamonds Limited (NADL) is pleased to announce that a second +10ct diamond has been recovered from the reprocessing of the Merlin sorthouse tails. This diamond weighed 10.27cts and is a light brown gem quality fragment from a larger octahedron stone. An additional two large diamonds were also recovered being a 2.9ct near gem and a 1.81ct yellow-green gem. A total of 3,593 diamonds for a total weight of 377cts have now been recovered from processing of the sorthouse tails at Merlin. Less than 1% of the sorthouse tails have been processed.

On Friday 9th September NADL reported the recovery of a 14.21ct gem quality clear white diamond.

While it is too early to draw firm conclusions from these recoveries, it does appear that these large stones are not statistical outliers but are a key component of the tails.

NADL is surprised by both the size and quality of these large Merlin + 10ct ‘signature’ diamonds.

Laboratory tests will be undertaken on these stones to determine their fluorescence characteristics with a view to understanding why these large diamonds are in the reject tailings. This information will be vital to the design of future processing and recovery circuits as operations progress to stages two and beyond. Merlin was a renowned +10ct diamond producer during previous operations.

VICTORIA PETROLEUM

UPDATE ON COMPLETION PROGRAMS & CURRENT PRODUCTION FLOUR BLUFF GAS FIELD, TEXAS

Texas Crude Energy Inc (“TCEI”), the Operator of the Flour Bluff Gas Project, Gulf Coast, Corpus Christi, Texas, has advised Victoria Petroleum NL of the following progress on completions in the Flour Bluff Gas Field, Corpus Christi, Texas.

Completion of the East Flour Bluff (EFB) D-24 Well
The Frio J99 and J90 intervals have been perforated and have been commingled together and are flowing together on an 18/64” choke into the sales line at a rate of 1.8 million cubic feet of gas per day with 29 barrels of oil as 500 API condensate (approximating 2 million cubic feet of gas per day equivalent). Further work is to be carried out by the operator to increase the flow from these sands before consideration will be given to testing additional sands up hole (Frio J77) and dual completing. If this operation comes to pass the workover rig will be moved back on the EFB D-24 well after completing the EFB E-10 well to the sales line.
A further update on the completion operations will be given on the EFB D-24 well program when full results of the flow on the J90 and J99 are known.

Completion of the East Flour Bluff ( EFB) E-10 Well
The workover rig has moved across the pad onto EFB E-10 to carry out completion operations on the Frio Massive sands. After the final completion is made the perforated interval will be gravel packed to reduce the potential for the flow of formation sand and flow into the sales line will commence.

A further update on the completion operations will be given on the EFB E-10 well program when full results are known.

Re-completion of the East Flour Bluff (EFB) D-9, D-13, D-17 and D-19 Wells
To complete Phase 1 of the 2005 Flour Bluff Gas Field redevelopment program, recompletions/ workovers are planned to follow on from EFB E-10 on the gas bearing sands in the EFB D-9, D-13, D-17 and D-19 wells to further increase gas production levels in the East Flour Bluff Field. The Operator is currently reviewing the program on EFB D-13 and D-17 in light of new information gained from EFB D-24. - Web Site

ILUKA RESOURCES

2005 Half Year Report to Shareholders

Overview
Iluka achieved a record net profit result of A$79.3 million for the first half of 2005. This represents a A$42 million (113%) increase compared with the 2004 first half profit result of A$37.3 million.

Return on equity (annualised) was 17.6%.

The record profit result was underpinned by a strong production performance, increased demand for Iluka’s products and higher overall US dollar product prices in particular, significantly higher zircon and rutile prices.

The result also reflects a larger earnings contribution from Iluka’s diversified assets, which include a royalty entitlement from BHP Billiton’s Mining Area C (MAC) iron ore operation in Western Australia and coal interests in New South Wales.

These factors, together with the proceeds from property sales, more than offset the negative impacts of declining grades at the Eneabba operations, the appreciation of the Australian dollar and a lower contribution from currency hedging, compared with the first half of 2004.

Directors have declared an interim dividend of 10 cents per share, franked to 5 cents (compared with 10 cents per share last year, franked to 8.7 cents) payable on 30 September 2005 to all shareholders registered at 16 September 2005.- Web Site

Kagara Zinc Ltd (ASX: KZL) is pleased to announce a Net Profit after tax of $14.4 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2005 compared to a profit of $3.4 million in the previous financial year. The fourfold increase was based on record production levels and operating margins achieved at Kagara’s Mt Garnet Project located in North Queensland.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $28.8 million for the financial year (2004: $10.1 million) was struck on a 78% increase in sales revenue to $62.7 million (2004: $35.3 million).

Cash operating costs after by-product credits for the financial year was US$0.25 per pound of payable zinc produced against an average realised zinc price of US$0.50 per pound of payable zinc. The strong financial performance has enabled Kagara to repay the balance of the Mt Garnet project debt facility before the end of the financial year.

Production for the financial year was sourced from the Surveyor deposit which treated 294,292 tonnes of ore with total metal production of 48,730 tonnes of contained zinc, 13,718 tonnes of contained lead, 1,925 tonnes of contained copper, 980,000 ounces of silver and 6,300 ounces of gold. - Web Site

Wall Street advanced solidly Friday to finish the week higher as oil prices cooled and investors embraced signs that the economy could move forward despite Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the Gulf Coast. The major indexes gained for the week.

Falling energy prices lent to a brighter economic picture in Katrina's wake, with crude oil sliding despite worries about record-high energy costs this winter and continued refinery shutdowns and gasoline futures slipping below $2 a gallon. Investors also anticipated a burst of activity once reconstruction begins in the Gulf region.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

MEDIA RELEASE
2005 Year Results and Final Dividend

Beaconsfield Gold announced today that it recorded a profit after tax of $7.5 million for the year ended 30 June 2005.

The Board has recommended the payment of a final unfranked dividend of 1.5 cents per share to holders of full-paid ordinary shares, bringing total dividends for the year to 3.0 cents per share.

KEY RESULTS	Year ended 30 June 2005 ($million)
EBITDA	15.7
Net profit after tax	7.5
Net cash from operating activities	8.0
Total dividends paid/recommended	3.0 cents

Commenting on the results, the Chief Executive Officer for Beaconsfield Gold, Bill Colvin, said:

"The strong operational cash flow and the successful insurance settlement during the year have considerably strengthened the balance sheet, allowed for a final dividend payment to shareholders and positioned the Company well for future growth opportunities including the accelerated exploration of our tenements at Beaconsfield in Tasmania and at Mount Stavely in Victoria.

"On our 100% owned tenements adjacent to the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture (BMJV) tenements, recent drilling within the prospective Mine Sequence rocks has encountered encouraging gold mineralisation (up to 3.5 g/t gold over 3.0 metres) that will be followed up over the coming months.

"Exploration will also commence shortly on the recently optioned Stavely project near Stawell in Victoria. A number of high-priority targets have been identified that will benefit from Beaconsfield Gold's focused exploration approach including a 5 km long gold-in-soil anomaly at the Fair View Prospect.

"Importantly for the long term potential of the Beaconsfield Mine, the BMJV will recommence exploration work in late 2005 to test previously identified regional gold targets."

In relation to the proposed final dividend, Chairman Dr Denis Clarke commented:

"With a strong balance sheet that is effectively debt-free, the Board considers it appropriate and desirable to continue to distribute a proportion of cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividends."

FURTHER SIGNIFICANT TRENCH SAMPLING RESULTS AT OBDILLA

HIGHLIGHTS

The latest trenching results at the Obdilla prospect have extended known insitu gold mineralisation both along and across strike. Mineralisation has now been delineated within an open ended corridor 1.5km long ranging from 50m to 200m in width. The width of the corridor is yet to be fully defined as 34 of the 39 mineralized trenches end in mineralisation and half of these are mineralized across the entire trench.
The latest open ended intercepts included new trenches with 78m @ 1.7g/t, 50m @ 1.6g/t, 28m @ 1.8g/t and 18m @ 2.2g/t Au, and an extension to Trench 28, which now averages 1.7g/t over it entire 68m length, including 30m @ 2.1g/t Au.
Drilling commenced 500m west of the trench defined corridor of gold mineralisation has intersected the target lithology, extending the length of the target zone being explored to over 2km. - Web Site

MINERAL DEPOSITS

SABODALA GOLD PROJECT
OUTSTANDING FIRST DRILLING RESULTS

As part of its Sabodala feasibility study, MDL is currently undertaking a large drilling programme on its 100%-owned Sabodala Gold Project in eastern Senegal, West Africa. The programme is designed to better define mineralisation identified in the 1980s and ‘90s by other explorers. It is intended that approximately 40,000 metres of drilling will be completed by early 2006 allowing a "JORC" compliant resource and reserve statement to be published.

The Phase I programme of approximately 14,000 metres of reverse circulation ("RC") and diamond drilling ("DD") commenced in July and is intended to test relatively shallow mineralisation previously identified.
To 1 September 2005, MDL had completed 101 drill holes, including three water bore holes, for a total of 9,366 metres including 6,958 metres of RC and 2,408 metres of DD. Assay data to hand represents some two-thirds of the completed drilling.

Early intersections from the central and northern zones are seen to have validated excellent gold grades determined historically and, subject to validation, appear to have extended the size and tenor of the mineralised zone.

Hole SBRC072 (see cross section 20270N) reported near continuous mineralisation from 13 metres to 101 metres down-hole including:

10 metres grading 8.25g/t from 13 metres;
23 metres grading 5.91g/t from 27 metres, and
46 metres grading 5.29g/t from 55 metres.

Significant intersections from other holes to date are:

16 metres grading 8.02g/t from surface;
57 metres grading 4.76g/t from seven metres down-hole;
16 metres grading 8.7g/t from surface;
37 metres grading 6.42g/t from surface; and
18 metres grading 14.34g/t from 40 metres down-hole.

A large number of economic grade intersections have been made, however, to date, insufficient drilling has been completed to gain a full understanding of the geometry of the mineralised system.......

Mt Ramsay Update

The first drill hole at the Mt Ramsay Tin Project in Tasmania has been completed at a final depth of 410m. Multiple zones of brecciation and sulphide mineralisation were intersected in the hole, including a promising intercept of over 50m from about 355m down-hole. The hole was still in mineralisation when drilling was terminated due to the depth capacity of the rig.

Managing Director, Garry Lowder, commented:

“We appear to have successfully intersected the target zone, which is much wider than we expected. It is also further down the hole than we thought it would be, probably due to a steep easterly dip. The key thing is that this first hole has validated the target concept at Mt Ramsay, linking an airborne EM anomaly to a wide body of sulphide mineralisation.”

Tennessee Gas Flow Result
Koppers#6A 125,000 cf/d, Current US Gas Price US$12/mcf

The Koppers #6A well in Norwest's Tennessee project has been perforated and fraced, resulting in a stabilised gas flow rate of 125,000 cubic feet per day with a well head pressure of 70 psi through a ¼" choke.
The Carden#2A has been fraced with a different technique using gel/foam and nitrogen and is still cleaning up. The Koppers#7A and Carden#1A completions are scheduled for the coming week and will be gel/foam and nitrogen fracs.
The current very high activity levels in the USA have caused serious scheduling issues for the fracing operations which require at least three different contractors and up to 15 or more trucks and semi-trailers carrying nitrogen, pumping equipment, and downhole operations equipment.
Norwest CEO Joe Salomon said that the while the flow rate on Koppers#6A was less than expected, the rates are economic and the recent increases in gas prices to US$12/mcf provide compensation. These rates are consistent with the earlier reported result for the Carden#3A well.
The project is adjacent to existing gas pipelines and Miller, the project operator has contracts with pipeline owners for delivery of gas into the network. The gathering pipeline for all five recently drilled wells has been laid and is ready to take gas as soon as the wells fully clean up. The gas attracts a premium to the prevailing price because of its high heating value.
Norwest has a 37.5% interest (approximately 29% net revenue interest) in the project.

Latest Mehdiabad drilling encounters high grade silver

Union Resources Limited (UCL) announces the results of four more diamond drill holes associated with the Mehdiabad Project in Iran. (Holes 8326, 8329, 8402, 8412.)

All the holes intersected the “zinc resource” and Hole 8412 the “lead resource” as well. High silver assays up to 192 g/t Ag, were obtained associated with the “lead resource.”

The drill holes were part of a program of in fill drilling designed to define the resource ahead of completion of a bankable feasibility study. Three holes were located on the western side of the resource and one of the eastern side. The results reported within the zinc resource are with a 4% Zn cut off and in the lead resource with a 4% Pb cut off. The intervals include a maximum 3 metres of internal waste.

The best results were:
Hole 8329: 7 separate zones with the largest being 17 metres at 10.3% Zn, 3% Pb and 75 g/t Ag.
Hole 8326: 15 metres at 8.3% Zn and 1.9% Pb.
Hole 8402: 5 metres at 8.2% Zn.
Hole 8412: 5 separate zones within the zinc resource with the largest being 8 metres at 5.5 % Zn, plus 3 separate zones within the lead resource with the richest being 1 metre at 6.3% Lead.

OLYMPIA RESOURCES

New Mineral Resources Discovered Near Keysbrook

Olympia Resources (OLY) is pleased to announce it has discovered two new heavy mineral resource areas near its Keysbrook Project that increase the existing resource by 36% and have the potential to significantly extend the mine life of the project.

The new resources, Keysbrook South and Coolup, located in South-Western Australia, represent a further indicated mineral sands resource of 15.6 million tonnes (t) of sand ore containing 425,000t of heavy mineral and possess grades similar to Keysbrook.

The two new resources have the potential to add a further three to four years to the estimated eight year mine life of the existing Keysbrook reserves. These latest discoveries confirm Olympia's model for mineral sands exploration and the high prospectivity of the Company’s south west exploration tenements in Western Australia. Olympia is continuing exploration in the area with the expectation of finding further resources.- Web Site

Dow Ends Up 142, Nasdaq Gains 26 on Declining Oil Prices, Strong Growth in Service Sector

Wall Street rallied Tuesday as oil prices tumbled, the service sector reported strong growth, and investors embraced large-cap stocks.

Investors rejoiced as crude oil and gas futures dipped following the gradual recovery of some Gulf Coast petroleum operations hobbled by Hurricane Katrina and the decision by industrialized nations to release 60 million barrels of crude from strategic stockpiles.

DEVELOPMENT SUCCESS AT JINGEMIA-10 DEVELOPMENT WELL, JINGEMIA
OIL FIELD, NORTH PERTH BASIN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Victoria Petroleum NL has been advised by operator, Origin Energy Limited that at 0600 hours Western Standard Time (WST) the oil appraisal/development well Jingemia-10 located in the onshore Perth Basin Production Licence L14 was preparing to run 178 mm (7 inch) production casing prior to completing the well for oil production.

Jingemia-10 was drilled to a total measured depth of 2,587 metres. Wire line logs have been run and indicate that the target Dongara Sandstone has been intersected at 2,458.5 metres measured depth, approximately 40 metres above the presumed Jingemia Oil Field oil-water contact.

The Dongara Sandstone is 34.5 metres thick at the Jingemia-10 location and is of good quality with oil shows present throughout the interval. Wire line log interpretation indicates oil saturations throughout the Dongara Sandstone similar to the Jingemia-4 well that has flowed oil at rates of up to 4,814 barrels of oil per day from its 29 metre oil column.

Completion of the well and connection to the Jingemia Oil Field production facility is expected to commence following the running of casing, once the drilling rig has moved off location. - Web Site

EXPLORATION UPDATE –
EMU LAKE DRILLING STARTS AND
EARLY ENCOURAGEMENT FROM NEPEAN EAST

Emu Lake
Jubilee Mines is to commence a 4-hole, 2,000m diamond drilling programme at the Gossan Zone within the next week. The drilling will target the depth and strike extensions to high-grade nickel sulphides intersected by previous drilling.
The high-grade intercepts include 2m at 6.20% Ni, 1.78% Cu, 2.17g/t Pt+Pd from 338m and 2m at 2.63% Ni, 1.05% Cu, 4.19g/t Pt+Pd from 345.5m in drill hole ELD15 and 0.28m at 6.66% Ni, 0.65g/t Pt+Pd from 337m in drill hole ELD16. The south-plunging trend hosting this mineralised ultramafic contact remains open at depth.

Nepean East
Reconnaissance soil sampling has identified anomalous nickel and copper values associated with an interpreted ultramafic unit about 10km ESE of the Nepean nickel mine (approximately 42,000t of contained nickel) west of Coolgardie in WA. The target areas were selected following the release of more detailed aeromagnetic data by the WA government and are interpreted to be extensions of the prospective Nepean ultramafic unit around a domal structure some 10km in length to the east and south east of the Nepean mine.

Forrestania
A single 120m RC drill hole has been completed at Forrestania to test the shallower (IR2) of the two strong EM conductors identified along the interpreted extensions of the Flying Fox ultramafic sequence within Image’s tenements. The drill hole intersected a sequence of banded iron formation (BIF) and quartz amphibolites within granitic rocks. Semi-massive pyrite and pyrrhotite within BIF was intersected in the downhole interval from 70-74m, close to the interpreted target zone. No significant Ni or Cu values were encountered. - Web Site

AUSTINDO RESOURCES

ACQUISITION OF GOLD PROCESSING PLANT COMPLETED

Austindo Resources Corporation NL (Austindo) is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of the gold processing plant located at the Mount Olympus Mine near Paraburdoo, Western Australia from Sipa Exploration NL. The processing plant will be relocated to the Cibaliung Gold Project in Banten Province western Java, Indonesia.

The acquisition of this plant provides the Company with a higher degree of certainty in terms timing and cost of deliverability for the development of the project, as delays in the delivery of new equipment are resulting in longer construction lead times for many other projects. The purchase includes a significant inventory of ancillary equipment and spare parts.

The plant was originally designed and built at Lynas Find in 1994 by Signet Engineering Pty Ltd for Lynas Gold NL. In 1998 it was relocated to the Mt Olympus site where it operated until milling ceased in March 2004. At the time of shutdown all aspects of the plant were operational and the shutdown was conducted with a view to restarting operations.

MINING AUTHORISATION GRANTED

In Indonesia, another important milestone has been achieved. The Bupati of Pendeglang has granted a Mining Authorisation for Cibaliung. Similar to a Mining Lease, the Company has now successfully secured the necessary environmental and mining approvals and is now in the process of finalising a land use application and other permits prior to commencing earthworks on site at Cibaliung.

Utopia-5 – Progress Report 6 (Final)

Period: 66 hrs to midnight on 4/9/05.
Current Depth: 1085m mRT (TD)

Progress: Complete sidewall cores acquisition. Run Drill Stem Test over Murta reservoir sands, 18 barrels of water recovered with no oil. Plug and abandon well. Rig released at midnight 4 September.

Hydrocarbon Indications: Minor hydrocarbon shows indicated in mudlogs and wireline logs over target Murta interval. Sidewall cores showed up to 100% oil saturation in samples in the upper part of the Murta reservoir. A Drill Stem Test over that interval failed to recover hydrocarbons.

Comments: The Murta formation was intersected 10 metres low to prognosis with the reservoir sands below the defined oil-water contact for the field. Despite some positive indications following log analysis and review of oil-saturated sidewall cores (indicating that the oil-water contact may have been lower that previously mapped), a Drill Stem Test conducted over the upper part of the Murta formation recovered 18 barrels of water and no oil.

While Bounty is disappointed in the results of this well, the occasional dry hole in a producing field is not uncommon. The Joint Venture is revisiting the mapping over that sector of the field to ensure that the results of Utopia 5 are properly understood and integrated into our ongoing work. We have reviewed the proposed site of Utopia-6 and are confident in the potential of that location to deliver a successful oil well. Drilling at Utopia-6 is expected to commence on Friday 9 September.- Web Site

An emerging major coal producer

RECORD PROFIT IN 2005

Felix Resources Limited (Felix) today reported a Net Profit After Tax of $13.1 million for the twelve months ended 30 June 2005, a major increase over the previous year's profit of $1.04 million.

The improved performance is due to higher prices for low volatile PCI and thermal coal products from the Yarrabee mine, especially in the last Quarter, and six months' contribution from the newly acquired White Mining Limited.

In the year to 30 June 2005, Felix achieved record sales of approximately 2 million tonnes, a 26 per cent increase on 2004, and record sales revenue of $117 million, up 66 per cent on the previous year's $71 million.

The directors have declared a fully franked dividend of 1.95 cents per share.

STRONG GROWTH FOR 2006

The strong coal market and increased coal sales from the Company's mines will contribute to a further big lift in performance for the 2006 financial year. It will be the first full year of operation for the Ashton mine under Felix?s ownership and the new Minerva mine will make a significant contribution. Attributable coal sales will nearly double to 3.5 million tonnes and profit is expected to be between $66 million and $76 million. - Web Site

MICHELAGO LIMITED

Michelago Corporate Strategy Update

Michelago Limited (ASX: MIC, MICO) has over the last two years invested in two quality gold sector assets;

the gold producing BioGold facility in China’s pre-eminent gold producing region, Shandong Province; and
an investment in Australian Solomons Gold Pty Ltd (ASG), which owns the 2.3 million ounce resource at the Gold Ridge Mine in the Solomon Islands.

The Board of Directors has undertaken a strategic review of Michelago’s assets to determine the best way to maximise shareholder value. The key outcomes of this review are as follows:

Michelago will support, together with the other ASG shareholders, an initial public offering (IPO) of ASG. Timing of the IPO will be subject to market conditions, however is expected to occur in 2006.
Michelago’s Board of Directors believes that the Company’s investment in ASG offers significant value to its shareholders and is considering whether to maintain its strategic investment in ASG, distribute these shares ‘in specie’ to Michelago shareholders (subject to the terms of the ASG shareholders’ agreement) or sell down part or all of its holding.
ASG has agreed the terms on which Michelago will carry out testwork on Gold Ridge refractory mineral samples. These samples will be sourced from the regions below the current Gold Ridge mineral resource.
Depending on the results of this testwork, Michelago will seek to enter into a long term concentrate offtake agreement with ASG. This is consistent with Michelago’s long term strategy of treating refractory material sourced from below the current Gold Ridge pit design’s at Michelago’s BioGold facility in China. - Web Site

Fundraising

As indicated in the company’s Quarterly Report ending 30 June 2005, the company is presently raising interim finance via a placement of shares to offshore institutional investors and local institutional and sophisticated investors to raise up to AUD$1.3 million.

The funds raised from the proposed placement are to be used to undertake regional work at a number of high priority targets located in the southern block of the Pungkut gold project in Sumatra, Indonesia, specifically Tambang Ubi and Tambang Hitam prospects. These prospects which are yet to be evaluated by Oropa since the company took over the project from Western Metals Copper Limited and Pacmin Mining Corporation in mid-2003 exhibit highly anomalous gold values from rock chip sampling and soil geochemistry.

Concurrently with these exploration and drilling programs at Pungkut, which are to commence this month, the company intends to raise up to AUD$6 million for working capital purposes during the December quarter, details of which will be released to the market as soon as they are finalized.- Web Site

VULCAN RESOURCES

Nickel Drilling Programme Commences in Finland

Vulcan Resources Limited (ASX: VCN) has today commenced a 3,500 metre diamond drilling programme at the Kuhmo Nickel project in eastern Finland. Drilling will take place on a number of targets encompassing over 100 kilometre length of the greenstone belt and is expected to be completed in December.

The strategy for the programme is two fold:

Firstly, drill existing deposits and adjacent targets in the northern Suomussalmi belt to define sufficient shallow open pittable resources to undertake mine scoping studies. This will be achieved by conducting infill and extension drilling at the Hietaharju and Peura-aho deposits from which Vulcan has recently reported excellent shallow hits. Infill and extension drilling at the Vaara mineralised occurrence which is located some 20 kilometres north of Peura-aho and testing geological/geochemical and geophysical targets immediately adjacent to Peura–aho and Hietaharju.
The second strategy is to target new discoveries by drilling a number of compelling geological/geochemical and geophysical targets in the Kuhmo belt some 100 kilometres south of Peura-aho.

Geological investigation in this very large belt is at an early stage, and most exploration to date is wide spaced and shallow. Vulcan is reviewing its exploration strategy in a number of highly prospective areas and will be conducting various systematic till (shallow geochemical) drilling programmes as well as employing geophysical techniques which look deeper than the current data which penetrates no more than 50 metres.

Vulcan continues to increase its ground holding in the belt as its understanding of geology and prospectivity grows. - Web Site

Dow Closes Down 12, Nasdaq Falls 7 Amid Uncertainty About Economic Impact of Katrina

Wall Street finished a difficult week lower Friday as investors, restrained by uncertainty about the economic impact of Hurricane Katrina, had little reaction to a sharp decline in oil prices and less unemployment. Despite the week's fluctuations, the major indexes ended with moderate gains.

Longer-Term Petroleum Supply Picture Improves, but Gasoline Supplies Tighten

The post-Hurricane Katrina petroleum-supply outlook improved somewhat on Friday as U.S. and European governments agreed to release 2 million barrels a day of oil and refined products from their reserves.

The announcement by the International Energy Agency was made after futures markets had closed. But prices fell sharply on reports that it was coming and as pipelines that distribute oil and gasoline from the Gulf Coast returned to high levels of service.

Still, the immediately available supply of energy for automobiles, homes and airlines in East Coast and Midwest markets tightened. Some 1.8 million barrels a day of U.S. refining capacity remained shut down and it will be weeks before the extra gasoline from Europe arrives. Pump prices were above $3 a gallon in many places and motorists have been urged to conserve fuel by everyone from President Bush to Exxon Mobil Corp.

GOLD

Gold production in South Africa fell in 2004 to 342.7 tonnes, the lowest level since 1931. In addition, operating costs offset increased gold prices - there was a nett loss of 1438 rands per kilogram of gold.
Production in 2005 continued to decline - in the second quarter it fell 18% (72 tonnes) when compared to the corresponding 2004 quarter.

GOLDSEARCH

Re: Correction to notice re expiring options

We refer to the announcement dated 31 August 2005 in relation to the Company's quoted options which are due to expire on 30 September 2005.

The final paragraph of that announcement incorrectly stated that "quotation of the options on ASX will cease at the close of business on Friday 24 September 2005".

It should have stated that "quotation of the options on ASX will cease at the close of business on Friday 23 September 2005."

Utopia 5 Progress Report

Period: 24 hrs to 6am on 2/9/05.
Current Depth: 1085m mRT
Progress: Run wiper trip. Rig up and run wireline logs. Running sidewall cores.
Hydrocarbon Indications: Hydrocarbon shows will only be reported after wireline logs have been run and evaluated at the Total Depth of the well.
Primary and Secondary Targets: The primary target is the Early Cretaceous Murta Formation.

Comments: The Murta formation has come in low to prognosis with some of the reservoir sands potentially below the defined oil-water contact for the field. However, following log analysis and review of the sidewall cores (subsequent to the 6am reporting time), the Joint Venture has observed that the oil-water contact at this location appears to be deeper than seen elsewhere in the field. A Drill Stem Test over the upper part of the Murta Reservoir is being conducted.- Web Site

LAKES OIL

BELLARINE 1 WELL
PEP 163, ONSHORE OTWAY BASIN, VICTORIA

Lakes Oil N.L. (“LKO”) advises that a decision has been reached by the Joint Venture Partners to cease drilling the Bellarine 1 well. A drill bit and small amount of drill pipe remain in the bottom of the hole and it has therefore been decided not to go to the considerable expense to recover these.

A cement plug has been set at the bottom of the casing at a depth of 930 metres. A second cement plug will be set near the surface. The well has been left so that if we wish to re-enter at a later date this would be possible.

Evaluation of the wireline logs, particularly above 1,000 metres where gas was observed will continue to be assessed as it is possible from our experience in the Gippsland Basin that this well could be a candidate for fracture stimulation at a later date.

Jupiter Energy (Victoria) Pty Ltd is earning a 50% interest in permit PEP 163 by funding the first $1.2 million of the cost of drilling the Bellarine 1 well.

Purchase of the Dongara Processing Facility

ARC Energy Limited is pleased to advise that it has today entered into an agreement with APT Parmelia Pty Ltd (“APT”) to purchase the Dongara Processing Facility (“DPF”) for a purchase price of approximately $2.5 million. The DPF is a key upstream infrastructure asset in the northern Perth Basin and currently processes some 13 terajoules per day of gas from the 100% ARC owned Dongara Gas Field under a processing agreement between ARC and APT.

The DPF was constructed in the early 1970’s with the commissioning of production from the Dongara Field and has produced at rates of up to 100TJ/day. It is the largest gas processing facility in the Perth Basin and provides gas separation, dehydration, and compression via four 1,000 hp gas turbine driven compressor units. It also has a central control facility and workshops, condensate storage and load out facilities and a water treatment and disposal system. The plant is situated on approximately eight hectares of freehold land which is included in the purchase.

ARC has also entered into a contract with Agility for them to provide operating services for the DPF for a period of up to two years. As part of the purchase, the complex contractual arrangements between ARC and APT which reflected the original purchase agreements with CMS Gas Transmission have been restated and considerably simplified. - Web Site

NAM 775	Drilled 1km south east of NAM 772 contained 9 garnets, 7 of which were very fresh Class 4 garnets.
NAM 778	Drilled 5km north west of NAM 657 contained 1 very fresh Class 4 garnet.

These results indicate that the garnets have travelled only a short distance from their kimberlite source.

A number of G10 garnets and a diamond have previously been recovered in this area.

Drilling in the area is continuing.

GLENGARRY RESOURCES

GLENGARRY TO DRILL URANIUM TARGET
A diamond core drilling program is scheduled to commence at the Oasis uranium prospect on Glengarry Resources Limited’s wholly owned Greenvale Project in North Queensland on the 3rd September 2005.

The drill program is designed to confirm intersections reported from drilling in 1978 and to provide material for geotechnical and metallurgical assessment. Esso Minerals drilled 32 diamond holes and 14 percussion holes at the Oasis prospect in 1978 and intersected significant uranium mineralisation over a strike length of approximately 300 metres (see Table 1 for significant drill hole intersections).

Better intersections reported from Esso’s drilling include 9.5 metres @ 0.23% U3O8 from 28 metres and 6.7 metres @ 0.23% U3O8 from 48.3 metres depth. Trench samples recorded up to 12.5% uranium. No uranium exploration has been completed in the immediate area since the Esso work some 27 years ago and historic drill samples are no longer available for analysis.

Glengarry is currently drilling several geophysical targets at the Maitland copper prospect located approximately 20 kilometres to the south-southeast and the availabilty of this rig has allowed the Company to expedite exploration at Oasis. Results from the drilling at Maitland are expected to be available within two to three weeks. - Web Site

KAGARA ZINC

MT GARNET PRODUCTION UPDATE
As a result of the delay in completion of the copper circuit at Mt Garnet and to take advantage of current high copper prices, the main plant will be reconfigured over a three day period to treat supergene copper ore when processing of the Surveyor polymetallic ore is completed in early September. Over a period of one month, approximately 11,000 tonnes of copper concentrate grading in excess of 28% copper will be produced and delivered to Chinese smelters at the end of October under existing contracts with Transamine Trading NV. During this time there will be no production of zinc or lead concentrates but revenues will increase as a result of producing high value copper concentrates.

Polymetallic ore from both Dry River South and the Balcooma pit will be stockpiled over this one month period and processed when the supergene copper campaign is completed.

It is expected that much of the lost zinc and lead concentrate production can be made up as a result of increased throughput during the remainder of the financial year.

Assuming a mid December start up of the supergene copper circuit, total concentrate production for the 2005 – 2006 financial year is now expected to be 90,000 tonnes of zinc concentrate, 25,000 tonnes of lead concentrate and 35,000 tonnes of copper concentrate, an increase in total concentrate production of approximately 20% on the 2004-2005 financial year. - Web Site

NORTHERN STAR RESOURCES

ENCOURAGING RESULTS FROM DRILLING AT RED BILLABONG PROJECT AND RANGE PROSPECT.

The Red Billabong Project and the Range prospect are located in the East Kimberley district of Western Australia, situated about 50 km west and 150 km north of Halls Creek, respectively.

Red Billabong Project
Initial reconnaissance drilling to test electromagnetic and aeromagnetic anomalies has confirmed the presence of extensive ultramafic/mafic rocks (dunites, peridotites, pyroxenites and gabbros) which are potential host rocks for nickel sulphide mineralisation. The assay results from the drilling in the northern portion of the Red Billabong tenements have highlighted that a number of areas, including the Moola Bulla Complex, are anomalous in nickel and base metals.

Significant intercepts from these areas include:

RBR-107 (EOH 36m) 20m @ 0.17% Ni from 16m including 7m @ 0.29% Ni from 17m (Area 1)
RBA-109 (EOH 43m) 3m @ 0.31% Zn and 0.13% Pb from 40m (Area 2)
RBA- 169 (EOH 68m) 40m @ 0.10% Ni from 28m including 7m @ 0.20 % Ni from 29m (Area 4)

Range Prospect (Wilson River Project)
The first phase of drilling at the Range Prospect has just been completed (20 shallow RC percussion holes for a total of 1,214 metres).

The drilling tested six of the more significant veins displaying prominent epithermal textures (crustiform quartz-adularia, colloform banding, bladed quartz after calcite, brecciation and
cockade quartz). Assay results for the drill samples are not yet available.

Significantly, the subsurface extent of the zones of quartz veining seen at surface was confirmed, with all holes encountering quartz veining varying from 1m to 11m in down hole width. - Web Site
