Warrior Gold Mine

The current underground face of the access decline is 421 metres from the portal. The decline is anticipated to reach the ore body at 950 metres length which is 110 metres below the surface. At present the mine is working one shift per day and we are currently resourcing the mine to move onto a 3 shift basis and accelerate the rate of development

Work was completed on a third truck bay which will provide further access for the loading of ore and additionally provides a storage area for waste material.

A new underground exposure of three hangingwall splays on the shallow part of the Sons of Freedom reef (part of the main Warrior reef system) was intersected in the decline during the Quarter. The reef is exposed between 368m and 400m from the portal. This exposure was predicted by geological interpretation and confirms the validity of the geological model. As expected the veinlets are sub economic and were not a part of the mine plan. The sulphide mineralisation is present and is typical of the Charters Towers style of mineralisation. Further drilling, driving and sampling will follow to analyse the deeper section of the structure in this location.

The decline is progressing towards its defined target of drilled ore on the main Warrior reef system located 110 metres below surface.

The Warrior Gold mine is planned to produce gold at the rate of 40,000 ozs per year from mid year 2006.......- Web Site

ICON ENERGY

Fourth Quarter Activities & Cashflow Report

On 16th November 2005 Icon announced the issue of 10 million ordinary shares at a placement price of 2.8 cents per share which raised $280,000 working capital.

United States

The first deep well to be drilled by CLK Energy LLC in Bayou Choctaw has been permitted with the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. The well was scheduled to be drilled to 2,775 metres (9,100 feet) in December 2005 using a Moncla drilling rig. The spud date has been delayed by the previous contract well and the rig which should have completed this well in two weeks was on location for over two months. This well has now been completed and this drilling operation is rigging down and moving to the Moncla workshop for a brief maintenance service.
Following this service the rig will move to the Australian Mineral Interest No.1 well in the Victory Financial Lease at Bayou Choctaw. The estimated spud date is now the second week of February 2006 and the well will take about three weeks to drill to total depth.

Icon is carried through this first well and retains a working and revenue interest of 19.00% in the well.

After the drilling of the well, CLK intend to move to a second and then third location in the Wilberts Lease at Bayou Choctaw.


Australia

In Australia, Icon is negotiating to drill Stitch No.1 in ATP 626P in Queensland with another group following the expiration of the farmout agreement with our US based investor group. Renewal of the permit with the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines is progressing and documentation for the new farmin agreement has been agreed and proceeding to signature.

The well is expected to be drilled in May 2006 subject to rig availability. A drilling is available for the drilling programme. An announcement will be made when all agreements have been signed. - Web Site

Second Quarter Activities & Cashflow Report

OVERVIEW

Construction of the Berwyndale South Gasfield was Queensland Gas Company's (QGC) primary focus during the December quarter. The Berwyndale South development is on target to deliver first gas sales in April 2006, well ahead of the 31 July 2006 contractual deadline.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, QGC announced an off-market takeover bid to acquire 100% of the ordinary shares in Sydney Gas Limited (SGL). If the takeover bid is successful, the combined entity would be Australia's largest coal seam gas specialist with over 360 PJ of Proved and Probable (2P) Reserves. QGC's bid documentation is scheduled to be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and given to SGL and the ASX in mid-February and to be dispatched to SGL shareholders in early March 2006.

Berwyndale South highlights

• The majority of plant and equipment was delivered to site during December and early January, including the reciprocating compressors, screw compressors and pressure vessels.
• 13 of 25 wells were drilled by the end of December 2005, with a further four drilled in January 2006.
• Production from the new wells reached 500,000 cubic feet per day (cfd) at the end of December with six completed wells undergoing production testing. By late January, seven completed wells were producing two million cfd, including one well free-flowing at 688,000 cfd.
• All pipe for the 14 kilometre (km) export pipeline was delivered to site in December. By the end of January, all of the pipeline had been welded, and trenching had commenced.
• Major civil works were completed during the quarter, including construction and commissioning of a 60-person site camp, a permanent warehouse and site office.
• Some forty kilometres of field gathering pipes were welded and are now being buried.

Sydney Gas Limited bid

• QGC announced a scrip bid for all the issued capital of Sydney Gas Limited (SGL) on 20 January, on the basis of one QGC share for every two SGL shares on issue.
• QGC also announced that once the bid becomes unconditional it has offered a facility that would provide a new two-year funding facility to SGL to fund the redemption of $30 million in Convertible Notes that fall due on 1 April 2006 ($10 million) and 1 June 2006 ($20 million).
• The $30 million facility to be provided by QGC would be funded through a series of placements that will in turn be subject to QGC shareholder approval at a QGC shareholder meeting scheduled for early March 2006.
• The bid is conditional on more than 50% of SGL shareholders accepting, and other
  conditions to preserve SGL's value.......- Web Site

• Cash
  At the end of the quarter the Company held $9.5 million in cash and net receivables.

2. EXPLORATION

• Drilling on the Bulgunnia tenement intersected significant zinc mineralisation adjacent to an intrusive complex. The mineralisation appears likely to be associated with a mineralizing event of the same age as that at Prominent Hill.
• Drilling at the Warrior Uranium Project successfully extended the known extent of the uranium-bearing palaeochannel by approximately 4 kilometres.
• Recent increases in the price of gold prompted the company to commence a review of the viability of the Tunkillia Gold Project. - Web Site

ARROW ENERGY

Second Quarter Activities & Cashflow Report

Momentous Quarter for Arrow as First Revenues Flow, Next Two Projects Commence Development, Pilot on Fourth Field Nears Start-Up and Exploration Success Continues.

Introduction

Arrow's stated strategy of maintaining a continuous conveyor belt of projects on the way to its stated goal of 45 PJ per annum of gross operated production by 2010 gained further credibility and foundation this quarter as the company continued to deliver on its published milestones.

First gas sales from the Kogan North field were achieved shortly after the end of the quarter while funds were assured for the Tipton West upstream development and reserves were certified on the Daandine development. Development drilling has commenced on this latter project, while sites are being surveyed for drilling and dam construction to commence in early March on the Tipton West Field. Pilot drilling and construction has been completed on the Dundee Field and production will start this quarter. Further exploration success in the Clarence Moreton Basin and laboratory confirmation of previous successes in that basin and in the Styx Basin will ensure Arrow continues to have a full suite of projects at various stages of monetisation as the company works towards the 2010 production goal........ - Web Site

ROC OIL

Activities for the Quarter Ended 31 December 2005

CEO COMMENT
The Quarterr and subsequent month were characterised by two main events. ROC's four field development projects adhered to schedule and the Company repositioned itself within the UK and Australian investment communities through a very successful share placement driven by a greatly accellerated exploration programme, onshore Angola.

DEVELOPMENT

• The Cliff Head Oil Field Development, offshore Western Australia, remained on schedule for first production during 1Q 2006. The overall budget increased to $265 million due to an additional well being drilled to access approximately one million barrels of additional reserves, and increases in costs caused by operational and weather delays, mechanical revisions and rising industry costs of materials and services.
• The Chinguetti Oil and Gas Field Development, offshore Mauritania, remained on schedule for first production during 1Q 2006 and on revised budget.
• The Blane Oil Field and the Enoch Oil and Gas Field, both in the North Sea, remain on schedule for first production during 4Q 2006.

EXPLORATION & APPRAISAL

• A total of five exploration wells (four offshore Mauritania and one offshore Perth Basin) were drilled in the Quarter, with two wells finding hydrocarbons in the Cretaceous exploration targets, offshore Mauritania. The Tevét-2 ST1 exploration well, intersected a gross hydrocarbon-bearing interval of 15m and a gross oil column of 6m while the Faucon-1 exploration well found oil and/or gas condensate in the Cretaceous, in a previously undrilled area, 140km south of the Chinguetti Field.
• The 3D and 2D seismic surveys in the Cabinda South Block, onshore Angola, were completed. Interpretation of the data is expected to be finalised within the first few months of 2006. The results to date are encouraging and the first well is anticipated to begin drilling in September 2006.

FINANCIAL

• At Quarter end ROC had approximately $66 million in cash and no debt.

POST QUARTER

• In January 2006, ROC completed a placement to UK based institutional investors of 28 million fully paid ordinary shares (14.9% of the Company’s then issued share capital) at a price of $2.71/£1.15, which raised $75.9 million/£32.2 million before expenses. The placement funds will be used to accelerate ROC’s exploration programme in the Cabinda South Block, onshore Angola. The placement has also established a more liquid market for ROC’s shares in London. As at 31 January 2006, post receipt of the placement funds, ROC had approximately $130 million in cash and no debt.
• ROC executed an agreement with TAG Oil (NZ) Ltd (“TAG”) to divest its interest in PEP 38767, in the onshore Taranaki Basin, New Zealand in return for a 2% overriding royalty, subject to Government approval. TAG will assume the current obligation to drill a well.

WALL STREET

Stocks finished a lackluster session narrowly mixed Monday as investors made few moves ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates. Record earnings from Exxon Mobil Corp. and evidence of strong consumer spending gave the market little momentum.

Investors welcomed the Commerce Department's latest report on consumer spending, which rose 0.9 percent in December. Though personal incomes rose just 0.4 percent, the strong consumer spending bespoke of continued confidence in the economy despite high energy prices.

Yet the report also showed prices remaining in check - good news for investors concerned about inflation.

Oil prices climbed Monday as the standoff with Iran overshadowed indications that OPEC members plan to maintain their currently high production quotas.

Strong buying in Tokyo overnight bolstered Comex gold demand at the open at the New York Mercantile Exchange on Monday then led to a higher close for the entire precious metals complex as silver reached a fresh 19-year high.

Silver, which has continued to be buoyed by news that Barclays Global Investors last week said its silver exchange-traded fund appeared to be moving closer to approval, reached a fresh 19-year high on Monday at $9.810 an ounce and is eyeing the $10 an ounce mark, traders and analysts said.

The last time silver breached the $10 mark was on April 27, 1985 when it reached a high of $11.25 an ounce.

The April contract for gold futures closed above $570 an ounce Monday for the first time in over a week, marking the highest close for a benchmark contract since January 1981.

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005

CROYDON TENEMENTS, NORTH QUEENSLAND

GOA has commenced planning for follow-up of discrete aeromagnetic anomalies in the Wallabadah EPM 13775 and an interpreted caldera structure within EPM 11597, both of which are located in the Croydon area of North Queensland. The company is also considering follow-up the thick low grade Au drill intersections previously located in the Gilded Rose Prospect area. Typical of these zones are intersections of 95 metres at 0.5 g/t Au and 32 metres at 2.3 g/t Au, within which high grade lenses also occur including 10 metres at 10.9 g/t Au.

The two discrete aeromagnetic "bullseye" highs (A1 and A2) are associated with a series of prominent WNW-ESE and NW-SW trending magnetic lineaments on the eastern margin of a gravity high. Anomaly A1 is a relatively simple circular magnetic high which appears to be associated with NW-SE trending magnetic lineaments. It has been modelled as a S to SW plunging, pipe-like body, with a depth to source of around 270m. The anomaly appears to be truncated at 1,100 metres depth. The size of the source is uncertain.

Anomaly A2 is more complex with a central zone of possibly two or more separate bodies and is located just SW of a WNW-ESE trending magnetic lineament. Remnant magnetism is orientated in a direction approximately opposite to the geomagnetic field. The anomaly has been modelled as a zoned, steeply dipping, intrusive complex with a depth to source of 270m. The anomaly is considered to be highly prospective.

The interpreted caldera structure lies on the margin of a major gravity high. It is considered to represent the main ejection point for the Croydon felsic volcanics and if correct, is likely to contain the structural complexity favourable for the development of gold mineralisation.

These features offer potential targets for gold and base metal mineralisation of the size targeted by GOA.

The Company has served notices to undertake exploration activities as provided for under the Native Title Access provisions to gain ground access to these areas. Once obtained, ground magnetic traversing to more accurately define the location and depth of the magnetic anomalies will be undertaken. When this work has been completed, the results will be reviewed to assess whether the features offer viable drill targets.

BRAZIL

During the quarter, the company evaluated a number of gold opportunities in the Tapajos region of Brazil. The Tapajos Mineral Province covers an area of 168,000 km2 within the Amazon Region of Northern Brazil. The geology of the region comprises locally altered and mineralised Middle Proterozoic felsic volcanics and intrusive rocks with only minor sedimentary units. Primary gold mineralisation is strongly structurally controlled and is mainly of the fissure vein and vein-stockwork styles.

The Mineral Province has been a significant gold producer with total production from the first discovery in 1958 up to the end of 1993 estimated to be around 18 Moz. Production peaked in the period 1983 to 1989 when more than 300,000 garimpeiros (local artisinal miners) produced about 1 Moz per year. This production has been predominately from alluvial and elluvial deposits although more recently the region has been recognised as a major hardrock gold province. It is widely believed that the Tapajos region has the potential to host a variety of medium (>0.5 Moz Au) to large (>3 Moz Au) open-pittable, oxide and mixed oxide/sulphide deposits.

Field work has identified a large area of potential epithermal gold mineralisation in the Cachoeira Prospect area and further follow-up work is planned.

SAIYIKALE GOLD JOINT VENTURE, CHINA

The Saiyikale Gold Project is located along the Central Asian Black Shale Belt which hosts a number of world class deposits including the largest gold-only deposit in the world (Muruntau in Uzbekistan - resource of 170 million ounces Au). The world class Kumtor Gold Mine in Kyrgyzstan (17 million ounces Au) is located some 180 km along strike to the west.

The results of two reconnaissance field programs in the tenements, conducted last field season have now been fully assessed and it is considered that the main areas of interest have now been identified. Local development of copper mineralisation (chalcopyrite and malachite) has been located within a major 100 metre wide broken and sheared fault zone with assays of up to 4% Cu being obtained.

Also of particular interest is an altered, pyritic zone some 100 metres wide which extends at least 200 metres along strike. This zone is open-ended, continuing in both directions under snow cover. Sampling of the zone indicated that gold mineralisation is present with a value of 1.0 g/t Au being obtained from one rock sample. These areas will be investigated in more detail during the next field season.

JUBILEE MINES

Quarterly Report

The end of the December quarter marked the completion of a steady half year for the Company.

Half yearly nickel production at Cosmos was approximately 5,380 tonnes of nickel in concentrate. Production for the December quarter was 16% more than the previous quarter. We are on target to achieve scheduled nickel production of in excess of 11,000 tonnes of nickel in concentrate for the full year to June 30, 2006. Nickel recoveries were 95% with plant availability again excellent at 96.2%.

Reconciliation on a project to date basis indicates that for the areas mined to date, Cosmos Deeps has produced 124% of reserve tonnes @ 89.1% of reserve grade for 110.4% of reserve metal.

Although operating costs have increased over previous years, partly due to overall industry cost increases, and partly as a function of lower grades than previously, our operating costs for the quarter were within budget, with average costs for the full year, forecast to reduce from current levels.

Project Development

Development at the Helene Decline to access the Tapinos and Prospero orebodies has commenced in earnest, with over 650 metres of development achieved at the time of writing. The development is on budget, with some time slippage due to equipment availability which we anticipate making up.

In parallel with this, at the Cosmos complex we are moving toward completion of the Alec Mairs Lower Exploration Decline. This is due to be completed during the current quarter, although we have already accessed positions for underground exploration drilling......- Web Site

OPERATIONS REVIEW

1) Skardon River Kaolin

Marketing Update
Solid progress has been made during the quarter on expanding our active customer base. The chart per Annexure A illustrates monthly progress and provides a forecast operating cash break-even position based upon the actual trend line of progress to date. A target of 3,500 tonnes per month volume is required to attain break even per our economic model. In addition to "active" customers, we have a large and expanding number of target customers. These are either new customers in "test phase" or, those who have already approved our products in recent months (which now total over 100), and the commencement of ordering by these new customers is expected to cut in from February onwards. In the early stages, customers usually take only 1 or 2 containers of about 18 tonnes each in order that their factory production conditions can confirm the performance of the samples previously tested by them. Future orders are then upgraded into significantly higher volumes and we expect this to commence in March. Our estimate is that we need to capture about 70 active customers to reach breakeven in this early stage of business development.

STUART PETROLEUM

Strong Oil Revenues Fund Major Cooper Basin Oil Program South Australian-based Stuart Petroleum today foreshadowed a A$12m seven-well development plan for its recently discovered Padulla oil field in the Cooper Basin. In its Australian Stock Exchange report for the December quarter, Stuart said it would fast track the Padulla development to take advantage of high prices for its high quality light sweet crude. The 100% owned Padulla field, Stuart's seventh SA oil development, would boost current production and underpin supply for Stuart's planned $20m diesel refinery, based near its Cooper Basin fields.

Releasing the report, Stuart managing director Tino Guglielmo, said the $12 million Padulla development plan would include $8 million on drilling one exploration well and six appraisal and development wells and $4 million on oilfield facilities in order to develop an upside reserve volume approaching 1.5 million barrels of oil on the greater Padulla structure. - Web Site

STUART PETROLEUM

DECEMBER 2005 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES

Highlights:

• Sales Revenue for the quarter totalled $13.3 million, an increase of 51.1% compared to $8.8 million for the previous corresponding period. Average oil prices net of hedging rose from A$44.29/bbl to A$70.11/bbl reflecting higher US$ prices. Sales Revenue for the half year totaled $27.3 million, a 103.7% increase over the previous corresponding half year.
• Production declined by 1.5% from the previous corresponding quarter to 192,100 barrels. Field development activity and strong production from Derrilyn largely offset field declines at Worrior and Acrasia. Production for the half year totalled 390,100 barrels, an increase of 27.5% compared to 306,000 barrels for the previous corresponding half year.
• Expenditures on exploration/appraisal and development totaled $14.8 million for the quarter, a record for the Company. Stuart Petroleum moved to successful efforts accounting with effect from 1 July 2005. As a result, the cost of seismic acquisition, studies and unsuccessful wells are expensed, rather than capitalized. The amount of exploration expenditure expensed for the quarter was $6.7 million bringing the total expensed for the half year to $9.3 million.
• The Worrior #3 development well was drilled and commissioned. Production from the well coupled with the installation of an additional jet pump installed at the facility substantially offset natural declines from Worrior #1 and Worrior #2.
• Production commenced from the Derrilyn #2 well bringing Stuart's share of field production from the Hutton formation above 21,000 barrels in December.
• Arwon #1 was brought on line in mid December at an initial rate of 120 barrels of oil per day on pump.
• The Padulla #2 discovery well was drilled and resulted in expected additions to Stuart's reserves of between 0.5 million and up to 1.5 million barrels of oil in the upside case. - Web Site

WALL STREET

A new round of strong earnings reports led stocks substantially higher for a second straight session Friday, as investors shrugged off surprisingly slow growth in the nation's gross domestic product. Gross domestic product clocked in at an annual rate of just 1.1 percent from October through December. That marked a loss of speed compared with the third's quarter's brisk 4.1 percent pace, the Commerce Department reported Friday. Belt tightening by consumers, businesses and the government figured into the fourth-quarter's slowdown.

Crude oil futures climbed back above $67 a barrel Friday on nagging supply fears linked to Iran's nuclear standoff with the international community and militant attacks in Nigeria, Africa's largest oil exporter. Adding to the bullish tone, Saudi Arabia's oil minister Ali Naimi said prices are unlikely to fall in the near term and OPEC's president suggested the global economy could live with $60 a barrel.

Gold futures gained almost $5 an ounce for the week and silver prices ended at a 19-year high, up nearly 8% from last Friday's close as physical and investment demand remained strong.

At the same time, copper closed at a record level and platinum ended at levels not seen since 1980 and close to it highest futures level ever recorded.

Commitments Test Entity - Second Quarter Report

Quay is currently commissioning its magnesium alloy plant in Nanjing, China.

Since late 2005, Quay has produced batches of alloy ingots using three out of its five furnaces and the continuous caster. AZ-type alloy has been produced under test conditions and approximately 50 tonne of alloy has been cast as ingots.

During commissioning of one of the remaining furnaces, difficulties were encountered with the furnace lining. Rectification is underway and Quay expects to undertake hot commissioning of the final items of plant during February. Over the following 12 months, Quay plans to ramp up production from this initial module to 15,000 tonne per annum and to achieve product certification.

Trial shipments are planned to be made over the next few months to about 20 potential customers in Europe, North America, China, Asia and elsewhere. Following customer evaluation, these shipments are expected to lead to ongoing orders.- Web Site

WALL STREET

A string of positive earnings reports renewed confidence in stocks and sent the major indexes sharply higher Thursday, helping investors shake off a steep loss posted by General Motors Corp.

Wall Street's concerns about the state of the economy eased after the Commerce Department reported an all-time high in factory orders for big-ticket items. Durable goods orders rose 1.3 percent for December, better than the 1 percent forecast by economists.

Gold futures fell Thursday, but prices closed well above the session's worst level as investor interest in silver climbed, lifting prices for the metal to 1987 levels. The planned exchange-traded fund investing in silver from Barclays Global Investors moved closer to gaining regulatory approval, according to media reports Wednesday.

Copper and palladium prices on the exchange pulled back along with gold after Wednesday's broad market strength.

WALL STREET

Stocks fell Wednesday as declining oil prices sent the energy sector lower and investors continued their jittery reactions to corporate earnings.

The National Association of Realtors reported Wednesday that sales of existing homes climbed to an all-time high of 7.072 million units in 2005, up 4.2 percent from 2004 and the fifth straight year sales have set a record. However, in a sign of slowing activity, sales fell by 5.7 percent in December, marking the third straight monthly decline, something that had not occurred since early 2002.

Crude oil futures fell more than $1 a barrel Wednesday as U.S. supplies of gasoline rose last week and above-normal winter temperatures in the U.S. kept demand for home-heating fuels in check.

Metals futures marked a broad advance Wednesday, with gold closing with an over $4-an-ounce gain, copper reaching a record level and silver and platinum prices tapping multi-year highs.

Silver prices spiked to fresh 18-and-a-half-year highs in Europe today as talk of setting up a new exchange-traded fund spurred fund buying, while platinum hit a new record high. With the break above the resistance mark of $9.30, "silver now looks to target the $9.50-$10 level with renewed momentum back in the market," said Peter Spina, an analyst at GoldForecaster.com.

Base metals also raced higher during Wednesday London Metal Exchange (LME) pre-market trading, as relentless fund buying lifted the complex's star performers to fresh cycle highs.

MINOTAUR EXPLORATION

Oxiana Exploration Alliance

The Board of Minotaur Exploration Limited is pleased to announce that on 23 January 2006 the Company signed an Exploration Alliance Agreement with Oxiana Limited. The Alliance has been operating informally since February 2005 following the merger between Oxiana and Minotaur Resources. The purpose of the Alliance is to explore for copper/gold in Australia during an initial term of 2 years commencing from the merger date, 25 February 2005. The Company is the initial manager.

The Alliance covers the following areas of mutual interest:

Gawler Craton in South Australia;
Curnamona Craton in South Australia and New South Wales;
Mt Isa and Cloncurry Districts in Queensland;
Tanami-Arunta Province in the Northern Territory;
Tenant Creek District in the Northern Territory; and
Eastern Australian Fold Belts (subject to exclusions).

The Alliance covers grass-roots exploration whereby a prospect identified by the Company is notified to Oxiana who may elect to sole fund. A number of expenditure and interest earning options are available for election by Oxiana who may earn from 51% up to 75% by funding at various levels ranging from $1million up to $5million depending on the status of the prospect, or they may elect to meet all expenditure to a decision to mine. Each party has the right to introduce advanced projects or third party offers which if accepted by the other party would then come under the terms of the Alliance.- Web Site

Diamond drilling of 3D IP anomalies at SMRV Project

TasGold has received the final data from its 38.4 line kilometre three dimensional Induced Polarisation (3D IP) survey, that was conducted over a large grided area at the SMRV Project (SW Tasmania) in November / December 2005. The survey provided chargeability, resistivity and conductivity data sets to utilise for mineralisation targeting in combination with existing geochemical and geological data. The results are being compiled, assessed and will be reported on forthwith, with the 3D IP likely to yield important vectors to sulphide mineralisation in the Wart Hill District, with a depth penetration of up to ~400m.

A significant area of mineralisation potential was highlighted along the western margin of the Wart Hill (V19) grid in the preliminary interpretation of the 3D-IP survey. The zone extends north – south at depth within the interpreted host horizon and comprises an extensive resistivity high and three main discrete chargeability highs. Principal among these is an east – west aligned chargeability high that extends off the grid to the west and is presently being drill tested. This chargeability anomaly lies sandwiched between strong resistivity highs, all located beneath the porphyry within the down dip projected polymict host horizon (see mineralisation model diagram). In addition, this zone contains a coincident Sirotem (Electro Magnetic – EM) anomaly.- Web Site

Second Quarter Report - Summary

We had a very busy month having completed the pre-feasibility study on Trident, drilled another 17 diamond drill holes (for almost 6,000m) at Trident, as well as completing the first round of drilling at several other exciting new exploration targets within the broader Higginsville tenure. Many good results were returned including 74m @ 9 g/t gold from the Athena Lodes.

A key development target for the Company is to begin underground development and mining of the Trident deposit in the second half of the year. We have commenced a definitive feasibility study, and are aiming for completion of this by August. We are also looking at the re-commencement of mining of open pits that were closed in the late 1990s when the $AUD gold price was at $450 per ounce – some $300 per ounce less than current prices.

Good results have been received from the Barrick Gold JV south of Higginsville, as well as identifying some historic high grade uranium results from the Lake Way project, south of Wiluna.- Web Site

The weighted average width and grade of the above composite intersections is 39m @ 0.74% Ni. This grade is higher than expected, as the current global resource at Santa Rita grades 0.62% Ni. The average width is consistent with expectations for the Northern zone. The in-fill drilling focused on the shallower part of the Northern mineralisation, so it is particularly encouraging that we are obtaining consistent width and grade in shallow mineralisation.

This confirms that the Northern zone will provide an excellent resource for early stage mining and payback at Santa Rita. Preliminary work suggests that the upper part of the Northern zone could produce the project’s first 12mt at 0.70% Ni with a strip ratio of about 2:1. This part of the deposit ensures highly favourable economics for the first 3 to 4 years of the project and will enable rapid payback of capital deployed. - Web Site

SUMMARY

Hera Project

The prefeasibility study of the Hera project, using conservative long-term metal prices (gold: US$400/oz, copper: US$2,141/t, zinc: US$1,102/t, lead: US$590/t, exchange rate: A$1.00 = US$0.70), concluded that – a) based on the size and grade currently defined, development of a profitable mine is feasible with the ore being treated at an offsite milling facility in the region. b) a feasibility study incorporating an exploration decline to confirm the gold grade is the preferred route to complete the study. c) project economics are very sensitive to metal prices and gold grade. d) based on current metal prices (23 January 2006 - gold: US$554/oz, copper: US$4,715/t, zinc: US$2,170/t, lead: US$1,331/t, exchange rate: A$1.00 = US$0.75) and the current deposit size the project economics are greatly enhanced.

The Hera feasibility study has commenced.

Diamond drilling continued during the quarter with two rigs extending and infilling the resource and obtaining further samples for metallurgical testwork.

Recent metallurgical testwork has suggested that ~95% of the gold contained in the Hera mineralisation can be recovered from a combination of gravity separation and leaching of either the gravity tail or, alternatively, the copper and lead concentrates produced by subsequent flotation.

Mineral Hill Mine

The Mineral Hill minesite is on a care and maintenance basis. Clean-up of the surface infrastructure is continuing.

Clean-up activities in the concentrator have yielded an additional 70 ounces of gold. The total 2005/2006 gold production to date is 7,701 ounces.

The mine generated a cash surplus for the quarter of $1.4 million (previous quarter $1.9 million) after taking into account residual revenue from September 2005 quarter production.

Exploration

A joint venture agreement was signed with Teck Cominco Australia Pty Ltd over the Stephens-Centennial project at Broken Hill, NSW after the end of the quarter.

Six gold and base metals exploration targets have been defined in the area immediately south of the Hera deposit. Drilling is scheduled to commence in the March quarter to test these and other targets in the Mineral Hill and Nymagee regions.

Corporate

Discussions are continuing with potential bidders for the company and its assets. - Web Site

SANTOS

LNG & Oil focus in new $225m Exploration Program

Santos revenue up 64% to record $2.46 billion Santos today announced record sales revenue of $2.46 billion for the 2005 full year, up 64% on the Company’s previous record of $1.5 billion achieved in 2004.

The result was driven by a 19% increase in production to 56.0 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) together with continuing higher oil and gas prices.

Full year production was ahead of Santos’ initial and revised 2005 targets of 54.0 mmboe and 55.0 mmboe respectively.

Fourth quarter 2005 production of 14.8 mmboe was 15% higher than the previous corresponding period in 2004, reflecting the new projects commissioned during the year, including Mutineer-Exeter and John Brookes offshore Western Australia, together with the acquisitions of Fairview in south-west Queensland and increased interests in the Otway basin in Victoria.

Sales revenue during the fourth quarter of $679 million was the second highest ever reported by Santos and was 39% ahead of the previous corresponding period in 2004, although 11% below the record third quarter of 2005 due to the timing of LPG liftings and seasonal factors which impact on gas sales.

The average realised gas price in the fourth quarter of A$3.80 and oil price of A$79.97 (US$59.85) were 12% and 41% higher respectively compared with the previous corresponding period. - Web Site

Stocks rose moderately for a second consecutive session Tuesday on strong earnings at United Technologies Corp. and McDonald's Corp.
The day's earnings reports were mostly upbeat, although investor reactions were mixed. United Technologies, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald's and 3M Co. all reported higher profits, but J&J and 3M fell after disappointing analysts.

After the close of trading, The Walt Disney Co. said it is buying longtime partner Pixar Animation Studios Inc. for $7.4 billion in a deal that could restore Disney's clout in animation while vaulting Pixar CEO Steve Jobs into a powerful role at the media conglomerate.

MINERAL DEPOSITS

Gold Resource of 1.26 Million Ounces

An independent mineral resource estimate from the drilling done to date at the Sabodala Gold Project has been prepared by RSG Global Exploration and Mining Consultancy of Perth. The resource estimate is based on MDL's (Sabodala Mining Company SARL - "SMC") Phase 1 drilling programme over an area of 450 metres by 300 metres and other previous drilling within these limits.

The tenor of the gold mineralisation and the potential for extensions along strike and at depth is shown in Attachment 1.

The mineral resource estimate was completed using Multiple Indicator Kriging. A summary of the estimates using various cut-off gold grades in grams per tonne (g/t) is shown in the following table. All gold grades are rounded to one decimal point.

TOTAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

This Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate is based on 238 drill holes completed up to 20 December 2005. The drill hole database includes drilling by SMC, Paget Mining (1994) and BRGM. An upper cut-off gold grade of 30g/t Au was applied. A categorisation of these resources is detailed in the attached table (Attachment 6).

The Resource Classification is based on estimation quality which is largely determined by drill hole spacing. Initial drill hole spacing was 40 x 40 metres with infill reducing this to 20 x 20 metres. Previous public releases by MDL have described the style and nature of the mineralisation.


EXCELLENT POTENTIAL FOR GOLD MINERALISATION EXTENSIONS

Abutting the existing gold resource, significant potential for expansion is recognised:........

Aldiss-Randalls exploration update

RC drilling has commenced to test:

• The Little Peck prospect, part of a 6 kilometre long by 700 metre wide gold in aircore drilling anomaly where previous RC drilling returned fresh rock intercepts including 5 metres at 2.75 g/t and 4 metres at 2.64 g/t gold. Other than two drill traverses of seven RC holes each completed by Integra in 2004, there has been no other RC drilling in this very large anomalous area.
• Main Zone and Harry’s Hill induced polarisation (IP) geophysical targets. The recently completed 60 line-kilometre IP geophysical survey has identified a number of very significant chargeability and resistivity anomalies interpreted as potentially related to sulphide and gold mineralisation. Targets include south and west of the Harry’s Hill gold deposit, south of the eastern waste dump and north of the northwest waste dump adjacent to the Main Zone gold deposit. Many of the IP anomalies are associated with anomalous soil sample gold geochemistry and / or anomalous shallow drill results.
• The Spice prospect (no current resources estimate) where previous drilling has identified high-grade mineralisation which may be amenable to open pit extraction.
• Down dip extensions of the Maxwells deposit mineralisation.

Three dimensional models of geology, geophysics, geochemistry and regolith are being finalised for an 8 kilometre by 5 kilometre area around the Main Zone and Harry’s Hill gold deposits. The modelling has identified a number of high priority targets with the potential to identify significant new zones of mineralisation and it is expected that these targets will be drill tested as an extension to the current drilling campaign.

Similar work is in progress for development of a three dimensional model of geology, geophysics, geochemistry and regolith in the French Kiss / Italia / Argonaut area. Likewise it is expected that high-quality drill targets will be generated by this work.

The revised Scoping Study for production from the Aldiss-Randalls Project remains on track for delivery at the end of March 2006.

As part of the Scoping Study, new Mineral Resources estimates for the Aldiss-Randalls Project gold deposits are being finalised and are expected to be released shortly.- Web Site

OVERVIEW

OPERATIONS

Quarterly Production

• Gold production for the quarter of 74,477 (72,017) ounces of gold was achieved at a cash cost of A$500 per ounce (A$518).
• Production at Golden Pride in Tanzania for the quarter was 34,351 (40,000) ounces of gold at a cash cost of A$428 (A$371) (US$319:US$282) per ounce.
• Gold production at Ravenswood generated 40,126 (32,017) ounces at a cash cost of A$562 (A$701) per ounce.

DEVELOPMENT

Syama

• Progressing with a range of aspects associated with the project aimed at enhancing its returns.
• Feasibility update underway to enable reassessment of the project in the March quarter.

Mt Wright

Development of the Mt Wright underground ore body at Ravenswood to proceed. Design work and equipment procurement is to commence in the March quarter with major site works scheduled to start in July 2006. First production ore is anticipated in late 2007.

Golden Pride

• A study to re-optimise the pit design using a gold price between US$450 and US$550 has commenced based on 1.0 million ounces of resources outside the current pit and the new lodes delineated on the southern wall.

EXPLORATION

Exploration activities continued at a high level during the quarter, with exploration drilling activities in Tanzania, Mali and Ravenswood.

• ‘Eastern Extension’ optimisation has delineated a separate in-pit resource at Golden Pride of 790,000t @ 2.08g/t Au (53,000 ounces) based on the results of the 2005 drill programme.
• At Nyakafuru, follow up drilling on the Leeuwin and Grange prospects have defined consistent
  mineralisation over a strike length of at least 500m. Best results for the period include: 30m @ 2.14g/t Au from 63m, 17m @ 3.04g/t Au from 54m and 18m @ 3.05g/t Au from 28m.

TENNANT CREEK GOLD

SALE OF INVESTMENT IN RED ROCK RESOURCES

Tennant Creek Gold Limited (ASX: TNG) (“TNG” or “the Company”) today announced that it has completed the sale of its investment in AIM-listed minerals group Red Rock Resources plc (“Red Rock”), realising a total consideration of A$665,000.

TNG acquired a holding of 19 million shares in Red Rock in October 2005 in consideration for the sale of a group of non-core exploration projects located in the Northern Territory of Australia, completing the asset rationalisation program initiated by TNG last year. The Red Rock shares were subject to an orderly marketing agreement but otherwise fully tradeable.

The proceeds of the sale will be utilised as part of general working capital to underpin TNG’s exploration and development activities, including planned drilling programs, at the Manbarrum Lead-Zinc-Silver Project in the Northern Territory.- Web Site

THUNDELARRA EXPLORATION

Copernicus Deeps - Nickel Copper Intercepts

All drilling data and assay results at Copernicus Deeps project in the East Kimberley have now been received and reviewed results are as follows.

Nickel and copper results were recorded from two holes with the third intercepting matrix sulphides.
The three reverse circulation and diamond drill holes totalling 1,352 metres tested the extrapolated geophysical plate representing the down plunge extension of the Copernicus North nickel sulphide mineralisation. Interpretation of data has been delayed to allow a gyroscopic survey to be completed so that assay and downhole electromagnetic (“DHEM”) information could accurately indicate the plunge and dip of the mineralisation.

Drilling tested a previously unexplored 250 metre strike extension north of the known Copernicus mineralisation. Each of the three holes intersected magmatic sulphide, (breccia matrix, net vein textures and disseminations), in the anticipated plane of mineralisation. Significant intercepts were returned from CORCD059 - 1.2 metres @ 2.7% nickel, 0.71% copper, and CORCD060 – 10 metres @ 1.02 %nickel, 0.83% copper........ - Web Site

TETHYAN COPPER

TETHYAN’S DIRECTORS CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND THAT YOU REJECT SKAFELL’S INADEQUATE $0.775 OFFER FOR YOUR SHARES

On 19 January 2006, I wrote to you to advise you that your Directors had unanimously concluded that Skafell’s revised offer remains inadequate and significantly undervalues your shares.

My letter has prompted a response from lawyers on behalf of Skafell who have reserved the right to make an application to the Takeovers Panel if we do not address the concerns raised in their letter.

Since the Skafell offer was announced over 7 months ago, your Company has been put to considerable expense and has committed valuable resources to deal with an offer which your board unanimously believes significantly undervalues your shares. To date, Tethyan shareholders appear to have agreed – after more than 7 months,

Skafell has received acceptances from less than 1% of Tethyan shareholders........ - Web Site

BHP BILLITON

Exploration And Development Report Qtr Ended 31 December 2005

Industry wide, the supply side response to continued strong global demand for raw materials remains constrained by a shortage of people, equipment and supplies. This has led to tight labour markets and difficulty in sourcing construction and drilling plant and machinery, which in turn has led to rising input costs. Currency strength against the US dollar is also adding further pressure. These conditions, which are currently particularly acute in Australia and the Gulf of Mexico, continue to challenge the ability of BHP Billiton to deliver development projects to budget. Despite these pressures, all projects currently remain on or ahead of schedule, with the Atlantis South schedule under review following the recent hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico.

During the quarter, the Board approved the Rapid Growth Project 3 expansion at Western Australia Iron Ore (Australia), the Third Pellet Plant expansion at Samarco (Brazil), the Stybarrow and NWS Angel Petroleum developments (both Australia) and the Alumar Refinery expansion (Brazil)..... - Web Site
