Australian Mining & Exploration Companies-News

Wall Street closed out a volatile week with a mixed performance Friday after a pair of economic reports dashed hopes for an interest rate cut anytime soon.

Strong results from Microsoft Corp. helped lift technology stocks, while heavy machinery maker Caterpillar Inc. lent some support to the Dow Jones industrials. However, those gains were offset by economic reports that raised concerns about interest rates.

The Commerce Department said new home sales rose 4.8 percent in December, well above economists' projections and a sign that the slumping housing market might have bottomed out. The department also said orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods rose in December by the largest amount in three months, led by demand for commercial aircraft.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 2, on slightly lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.

For the week, the Dow was down 0.62 percent, while the S&P lost 0.58 percent and the Nasdaq fell 0.65 percent.

Oil prices rose more than $1 to settle above $55 a barrel Friday on concerns that producers were complying with OPEC's production cuts and on expectations of continued blustery weather in the northeastern United States.

Copper prices in New York fell for the first time in six sessions, dropping from a two-week high, on speculation rising inventories will outpace U.S. demand for the metal.

Gold futures closed lower Friday, retreating from the previous session's intraday move to an eight-week high, but the precious metal registered a gain for the week.

WALL STREET

Stocks suffered their biggest pullback in two months Thursday, with the Dow Jones industrials logging a triple-digit decline as a disappointing bond auction (the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to a three-month high) and a lackluster report on sales of existing homes halted the market's two-day rally.

In corporate news, eBay jumped 8.2 percent after the online auction house posted a 24 percent increase in profits as sales rose 29 percent.

Ford Motor Co. reported a loss for 2006 of $12.7 billion - the worst in its 103-year history.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 3 to 1, on increased volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.

Crude oil and natural gas slid on signs U.S. heating-fuel stockpiles are adequate.

Copper gained for a fifth consecutive session in London as the economy of China, the world's largest user of the metal, expanded at its fastest pace in 11 years.

Gold futures touched their highest level in eight weeks Thursday after breaking through what analysts called a key price-resistance level of $650, but prices closed slightly lower to reflect weakness in oil prices.

GOLDSEARCH

Mary Kathleen Project first-pass drilling results

The Mary Kathleen Project is a joint venture between Goldsearch Limited and Central West Gold NL. Goldsearch is currently earning a 75% interest in the project.

Encouraging assay results have been received for first-pass, reverse circulation drilling of two target areas completed at the Mary Kathleen Project in late December 2006. A total of five close spaced holes were drilled at the Elaine Dorothy target located 6 kilometres south and along strike from the former Mary Kathleen Uranium Mine. Two holes were drilled at the MacGregor target located 20 kilometres south-west from the Mary Kathleen Uranium Mine.

Based on preliminary on-site scintillometer readings of drill samples, those which returned an eU (estimated uranium content) of greater than 0.005% (50ppm) were sent to ALS laboratories in Brisbane for analysis. Samples were assayed for a multi element suite of 27 elements by the ICP-AES method, uranium was also determined by the XRF method. This was a broad, first-pass assaying exercise to determine elemental relationships and mineralisation styles and it is anticipated that, based on the results, further assaying of the samples is required for elements not included in the standard multi-element suite including gold (Au), thorium (Th) and a number of specific rare earth elements (REE).

Elaine Dorothy

At Elaine Dorothy, the close-spaced drilling was designed to test surface indications of Mary Kathleen-style uranium mineralisation at a depth of between 50 and 100 metres below surface. The drilling intercepted two individual zones of uranium and rare earth element (cerium (Ce) and lanthanum (La)) mineralisation. The mineralisation is hosted by the Corella Formation, an altered meta-carbonate sequence with minor metamorphosed mafic volcanic rocks.

The mineralisation style and host sequence is consistent with the nearby Mary Kathleen Uranium Mine and, as at Mary Kathleen, the higher grade mineralisation appears to be associated with the presence of the mafic volcanic rocks within the sequence. Of the five holes drilled at Elaine Dorothy only one hole, MKRC04 appears to have intercepted the mafic volcanic rocks down hole. This hole was the eastern-most hole drilled at the prospect and further surface mapping and sampling is expected to commence in the next few weeks to better understand the distribution of the mafic volcanics in the target area. Additional drilling will be undertaken to further evaluate the target once surface exploration is completed and relevant approvals can be put in place. Additional assaying is also required to better determine total rare earth element concentrations.

Elaine Dorothy Target drilling results

* U3O8, Ce2O3 and La2O3 values are calculated values based on element to oxide conversion factors of 1.179 for uranium, 1.171 for cerium and 1.173 for lanthanum.

Based on the positive results from the first-pass drilling at Elaine Dorothy, surface sampling will also commence at the Elaine 2 and Elaine 3 uranium prospects with the aim of defining drilling targets. These prospects are located 500 metres and 1 kilometre along strike from the Elaine Dorothy prospect. At these prospects, limited work by previous explorers has also recognised minor occurrences of uranium mineralisation at surface........

Dongara 37 Gas Development Well Update

ARC Energy Limited advises that the Dongara 37 gas development well, located in the Dongara Field in onshore Perth Basin Production Licence L2, has been drilled using Century Rig 18 to a total depth of 1,691 meters measured depth. The well has intersected the target Arranoo gas sand interval approximately 3 metres high to prognosis and preliminary information suggests that the target sands are gas saturated as anticipated.

Current operation is the drilling of the second lateral to enhance the intersection with the reservoirs. At 06:00am WST, the Rig was drilling ahead at 1,603 metres measured depth.

The forward program is to complete the well as a bare-foot multi-lateral production well, similar to Dongara 36, and to test the well before putting it on production via flow lines to the Dongara Production Facility. - Web Site

GREAT AUSTRALIAN RESOURCES

Exploration & Development Updates

General:
Great Australian Resources Ltd (GAU) is pleased to announce that its exploration programs in South Africa and Cambodia are proceeding well and positive drilling results are being generated out of its Cambodian projects. Details of its drilling programme for the Company's platinum project in South Africa are also well advanced.

Cambodia
An aeromagnetic program of approximately 10,500 line kilometres have been completed over the Banlung and Oyadao projects. The Company will receive the full data from this survey within the next 3 weeks. This detailed magnetic data will greatly assist the exploration team in delineating further drill targets and get a better understanding of the geological and structural controls on the mineralisation over the project areas.

The diamond drilling program has also commenced at Oyadao with approximately 12 diamond drill holes proposed, totalling approximately 2,000 metres. To date, 250 meters of drilling have been completed (see Figure 1). The exploration team is extremely encouraged by the samples received to date. Very strong quartz and sulphide mineralisation have been intercepted close to surface, strongly associated with highly altered zones (fuchsite-chlorite-carbonate alteration).

Additional outcrops with strong sulphide contents have also been found over the current drill area and samples have been submitted to the laboratories for assaying. The rock chips from this area taken by the Company to date range up to 81.6 g/t gold and 2.67% copper. Results from this drill programme will start to become available within the next 4 - 6 weeks.

South Africa
Impact Mining, a 50% owned company of GAU, has finalised its plans for an initial drill program over its Mooiplats Platinum Project in South Africa. Drilling will commence within the next 6-8 weeks utilising a diamond drill rig and is planned to confirm some of the previous high-grade results and to possibly extend the current mineralised zone further down dip as well as to take the existing resource to a JORC standard. (See Figure 2). The first two holes are planned to mirror previously successful holes in order to confirm the results the company has previously acquired from companies that drilled on the combined Mooiplats tenement holding.

Corporate
In the meantime, the board of the Company has agreed in principal to "spin off" its subsidiary company Impact Mining as a new entity on the Australian Stock Exchange. Should this proceed, GAU shareholders will be rewarded with shares in this new listing by way of an in-specie distribution. The shares in this new listing will be distributed from GAU's shareholding in Impact. Further details of this transaction will be made available to the market as GAU receives more information. - Web Site

NUENCO

CITRUS #7 WELL ENCOUNTERS HYDROCARBONS IN DIATOMITE FORMATION WARRANTING FURTHER EVALUATION AND DRILLING.

Nuenco NL ("NEO") wishes to advise the Citrus #7 well has been completed to a total depth (TD) of 5,000 feet with wire line logs indicating good gas shows in a deeper Diatomite section with some indications of oil. The initial TD was planned for 4,000 feet but the participants decided to deepen the well upon encountering an unexpected encouraging diatomaceous formation with good and improving hydrocarbon shows and reservoir quality as the depth increased.

This well was initially drilled as an appraisal well of the Southeast Lost Hills shallow gas discovery made by Orchard Petroleum Limited on the adjacent Southeast Lost Hills acreage. Citrus #7 was planned to drill to shallow depths and to intersect zones of interest in the Pliocene, San Joaquin and Etchegoin Formations.

Although gas shows were present in the shallower Pliocene sands the review of the wire line logs showed they were wet. On deepening the well, Citrus 7 encountered approximately 500 feet of diatomaceous formation before drilling ceased due to restrictions in the rigs capability to drill further.

As the well approached the final drilling depth the quality of the hydrocarbon shows and reservoir quality improved. Nuenco and the Operator believe that the diatomaceous formation could be considerably thicker and there is reasonable expectation that the quality of the rock and the amount of hydrocarbons will improve with depth. - Web Site

OIL SEARCH

Drilling Report (Juha 5 Ghard-1Yusr Nubia-1)

WELL NAME: Juha 5
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 25 January, the Juha 5 well was at a depth of 2,562 metres and pulling out of the hole to change the drill bit and motor. Drilling progress for the week was 499 metres.

Juha 5 is located 40 kilometres north-west of the Hides gas field. Three wells were drilled on the Juha structure in the early 1980s, and proved the presence of a condensate-rich gas accumulation. No gas-water-contact was located in these wells and the Juha 5 well will drill deeper on the structure with the aim of constraining the vertical gas column height. The well is targeting the Toro reservoir at a depth of around 3,000 metres subsea. The planned total depth of the well is 3,700 metres.

The well will be followed by a second well which will drill a large, untested segment adjacent to the proven segment. The objective of the two wells is to increase considerably both the proven and probable reserves.

WELL NAME: Ghard-1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Egypt time (+3 hrs GMT) on 24 January, Ghard-1 was at a depth of 3,550 metres and was drilling ahead in an 8-1/2" hole. Progress for the week was 171 metres.

During the week, Ghard-1 continued to encounter oil shows in interbedded sandstones in the Bahariya Formation. The significance of the shows will be evaluated by the logging programme which will take place once the well reaches TD.

Ghard-1 is located in the East Ras Qattara concession, Western Desert, Egypt, 12 kilometres north-east of the recently drilled Shahd-1 discovery. Ghard-1 is Oil Search's second well in an extended drilling programme of probably four wells in the East Ras Qattara block in 2007.

The objectives of the Ghard-1 well are reservoirs in the Cretaceous Abu Roash, Bahariya and Alam El Bueib Formations, with a prognosed total depth of 3,950 metres. Production storage facilities are located in nearby adjacent concessions.

WELL NAME: Yusr Nubia-1
Oil Search reports that the Yusr Nubia-1 well spudded on 22 January. As at 0600 hrs Egypt time (+3 hrs GMT) on 24 January, Yusr Nubia-1 was at a depth of 58 metres and was drilling ahead in a 17-1/2" hole.

Yusr Nubia-1 is located in Area ‘A', adjacent to the Gulf of Suez in the Eastern Desert, Egypt, and is the second well in a programme to drill up to fifteen exploration and development wells in the Oil Search-operated concession. Yusr Nubia will target the Nubia Sandstones which are prolific producing sands in the offshore Gulf of Suez. The Nubia Sandstone has not previously been drilled in an optimal location in the Yusr Field.

WELL NAME: Bina Bawi-1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Iraqi time (+4hrs GMT) on 23 January, the Bina Bawi-1 well was at a depth of 3,077 metres and was drilling ahead in an 8-1/2" hole. Progress for the week was 67 metres.

While no visible oil shows have been encountered in the deeper section of the well, the forward plan for Bina Bawi-1 is to drill beyond the original planned total depth of 3,050 metres in order to fully evaluate the structure. Previously reported oil shows in the well will be evaluated either by drill stem test or an additional appraisal well on the structure.

Bina Bawi-1 is located in the Bina Bawi Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) located in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. Oil Search has a 20% interest in the Bina Bawi EPSA operator, A & T Petroleum, and has the option to convert its 20% shareholding into a 10% direct interest in the Bina Bawi EPSA.

The primary objective of the Bina Bawi-1 well is the Triassic reservoir with secondary reservoir potential in the Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic sections. The prognosed total depth of the well is 3,050 metres.

WELL NAME: Ghobata-1
Oil Search reports that during the week, the Ghobata-1 well in Block 49 was drilled to a total depth of 2,166 metres. An electric wireline logging programme was completed, and the well was subsequently plugged and abandoned.

The Ghobata-1 encountered a residual oil column in the Qishn Clastics approximately 100m thick. These results are sufficiently encouraging to provide support to drill a third well in Block 49, Al Kasad-1. The rig is currently being moved to the site of this well, located 4 kilometres southeast of Ghobata.

The Al Kasad-1 well will test a four-way dip closed structure updip and immediately adjacent to the Ghobata structure, which is fault bounded. The four-way dip closure at Al Kasad-1 is less likely to be breached due to late fault movement. The well is expected to commence drilling in early February.

WELL NAME: Shaibah-1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+4 hrs GMT) on 24 January 2007, the Shaibah-1 exploration well was at a depth of 2,331 metres and drilling ahead in a 12-1/4" hole. Progress for the week was 1,255 metres.

Shaibah-1, in Block 43, Yemen, is located 25 kilometres SW of the Nabrajah Field. The objectives of the well are reservoirs in the Saar and Madbi Formations. The Saar Formation is primary reservoir in the recently discovered Ressib Field, located 15km northwest in adjacent Block 14. The Madbi Formation is the primary reservoir in the recently discovered Raydah Field located 10 kilometres north in Block 14, adjacent to the Block 43 license boundary. Shaibah-1 is located on trend with the Ressib and Raydah Fields. The prognosed total depth is approximately 3,240 metres.- Web Site

BHP BILLITON

BHP BILLITON QUARTERLY REPORT ON EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006

This report covers the company's exploration and development activities for the quarter ended 31 December 2006. Unless otherwise stated, BHP Billiton's interest in the projects referred to in this report is 100 per cent and references to project schedules are based on calendar years.

DEVELOPMENT

While the majority of BHP Billiton's projects remain broadly on schedule, tight labour markets and shortages of equipment and supplies continue to be evident across the resources industry globally and will continue to impact project costs and schedules.

The Spence (Chile) copper project was commissioned during the quarter and achieved first production in early December three weeks ahead of schedule. The budget is subject to finalisation but is expected to be within the approved budget (excluding FX impacts).

In addition, the Board approved the increased capital costs for the Ravensthorpe (Australia) nickel project to a total budget of US$2.2 billion. Lower than expected labour productivity and late delivery of some materials and equipment at Ravensthorpe means that the target date for first metal from Ravensthorpe is now the first quarter of calendar year 2008.........

MINERALS EXPLORATION

BHP Billiton continued to pursue global exploration opportunities for key commodities of interest utilising both in-house capabilities and the Junior Alliance Programme.

Grassroots exploration continued on diamond targets in Angola, Canada and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), on copper targets in Mexico, Chile, Mongolia and the DRC; and on nickel targets in Australia, Russia and Africa. Exploration for iron ore, coal, potash and bauxite was undertaken in a number of regions including Australia, Brazil, Canada and West Africa.

For the half year ended 31 December 2006, BHP Billiton spent US$153 million on minerals exploration, of which US$111 million was expensed. Capitalised exploration included US$41 million for the Olympic Dam Expansion......

WCP: Repl: 33.8 g/t gold over 9 metres at Whistler - Web Site

GATEWAY MINING

OUNCE PER TONNE GOLD GRADES INTERSECTED OVER 9 m BELOW WHISTLER PIT

Initial drilling at Airport Central at Gidgee in Western Australia has yielded a 22 metre intersection averaging 14.94 g/t gold below the Whistler pit during an initial round of drilling by farm-in partner WCP Resources Ltd.

The infill diamond drillhole, WRC017, which included 9 metres at just over an ounce of gold per tonne (33.82 g/t), validates the existing gold mineralisation at Whistler. Results are awaited from a deeper diamond drillhole, WRC018, which will have the effect of extending the resource.

The Whistler pit is one of five drill ready targets within the Airport Project that WCP is in the process of testing.

WCP also advised that RC drilling at the nearby Rosie North prospect has confirmed continuation of gold mineralisation at depth. Results included 5 metres at 2.72 g/t and 5 metres at 2.38 g/t gold from five metre composite samples that will be further assayed at one metre intervals.

Further details on the drilling program at Airport Central and Barrelmaker are contained in the announcement by WCP Resources, which has an option to acquire a 70% stake in Gateway's Barrelmaker and Airport Central Projects.

Gateway Chairman Brian Gomez said "these are exciting results indeed especially given the cluster of prospects within a distance of about five kilometres at Airport Central. "Highly encouraging drill results extend from the southernmost Bullseye and Central prospects (5m @22.18 g/t & 6m @38.85 g/t respectively) and further north through Rosie North and Pannikin (8m @3.88 g/t) and on to Whistler (25,600 ounce resource)."- Web Site

Quarterly Report for the period ended 31 December 2006

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER

In December 2006 a successful capital raising was completed through Euroz Securities Limited. A total of $4.67 million was raised less costs.
The Mirage production facilities have been commissioned and the Mirage-1, Mirage-3 and Mirage-4 wells are all on line. Current production from the Mirage and Ventura fields averages 300 BOPD gross.
Successful farm in negotiations were concluded with the Santos JV in the Wilpinnie North Block in PPL 93 immediately to the south of PEL115. Under this agreement the PEL 115 JV will fund the drilling of the Wilpinnie-4 (Tomcat Prospect) in return for 50% equity in any license granted over a successful discovery. The Santos JV will have the right to farm in for 50% of any license granted over a Tomcat Prospect discovery in PEL 115.
Wilpinnie-4 (Tomcat Prospect) commenced drilling on 9th January 2007. The well is being operated by Santos. The well has been drilled to a total depth of 1,587m and logging completed. Interpretation of the logs indicates an 18m oil column was encountered in the Jurassic Mid Namur reservoir. DST-1 was conducted over the interval 1475.5 to 1487.4. A strong blow was observed at surface and there was an influx of approximately 24 barrels of oil during the main flow period equating to a flow rate of 144 BOPD. Forward plans are to case and suspend the well as a future oil producer.
The Joint Venture has contracted the Hunt No 3 rig to embark upon a drilling campaign in PEL 104 and PEL 111. Rains in the region have forced a delay in the start of the campaign scheduled to commence with the drilling of Wirraway-1 in PEL 104. Wirraway-1 is 4 km northwest and updip of the Growler oil discovery. This weather has also impacted on re testing of Growler-1.
A Short Term Production Test on the Growler-1 oil discovery was performed. This resulted in production of some 20 to 25 BOPD, less than expected from the Drill Stem Test conducted during drilling. Impress Energy undertook a review of the test results and the Joint Venture has decided to return to Growler-1 and re complete and re test the well.
Reprocessing of seismic data on the western margin over PEL 104 and PEL 111 is ongoing. Interpretation of this new improved dataset has confirmed the prospectivity of the region with a number of follow up prospects and leads identified. A comprehensive prospects and leads inventory is currently being documented and will provide drilling candidates for future drilling campaigns.......- Web Site

Drilling Report: Wilpinnie - 4 (Tomcat Prospect)

Impress provides the flowing progress report on Wilpinnie-4 (Tomcat Prospect).

As of Thursday 25th January 2007 the well had been drilled to TD of 1,587m RKB and logging and sampling completed. Interpretation of logs and fluid samples indicate the presence of an 18m oil column (1,476m to 1,494m RKB) in the Jurassic Mid Namur reservoir.

Forward plans are to case and suspend the well as a future oil producer.

Test Results Summary
DST-1 (1476m to 1487m RKB) recovered approximately 24 barrels of oil during the main four hour flow period. This influx equates to a flow rate of 144 BOPD. Lost packer seat during start of main shut in period.

DST-2 (1468m to 1489m RKB) Tool plugged immediately upon opening. Misrun

Repeat formation testing near the base of the interpreted oil column at 1,493m recovered a sample of oil and mud filtrate.

Core-1 (1472m to 1487m RKB) cut in the primary objective the Jurassic Mid Namur Sandstone.

Commenting on the well results Impress Chief Executive Officer, Eddy Buckovic said "Impress Energy is pleased by the results at Wilpinnie-4 (Tomcat Prospect) which are within our pre drill estimates. The oil recovery during testing and interpreted column in the Jurassic Mid Namur reservoir gives us confidence that the Tomcat prospect will be a commercial oil discovery for the company"....... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks extended their gains Wednesday after profit reports from Yahoo Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc. helped shore up investors' flagging confidence in the technology sector.

There was little overall movement in the energy and health sectors in response to President Bush's State of the Union address, during which he called for expanded health insurance coverage and a 20 percent reduction the country's consumption of gasoline over the next 10 years. Some alternative-energy companies pulled back after rising sharply before the speech.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1, on slightly lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil prices rose Wednesday, after traders shrugged off news that oil inventories are rising and refocused on the possibility of cold weather and reduced OPEC production draining supplies.

Copper prices rose for the fourth session in a row on speculation output in Chile might be disrupted and inventories may fall short in China.

Nickel climbed to a record for a sixth consecutive session in London on continued concern that supply of the metal used in stainless steel won't meet demand this year.

Tin advanced to an 18-year high.

Gold futures moved higher Wednesday, finding support just under $640 an ounce to mark their highest closing level since early December, with investors eyeing mixed trading in the U.S. dollar and a partial recovery in oil prices.

The Australian dollar was down following the release of yesterday's lower-than-expected inflation figures. The Australian Bureau of Statistics said the fourth quarter consumer price index fell 0.1 per cent in the quarter to be 3.3 per cent higher than a year earlier, down from 3.9 per cent in the year to September.

MALACHITE RESOURCES

RESOURCE DRILLING TO COMMENCE AT CONRAD AS NEW DRILL RESULTS EXTEND SILVER LODES

Drilling at Malachite's Conrad Silver Project in late 2006 has intersected additional high grade silver and base metals along strike to the northwest from earlier drilling, substantially extending the known mineralisation. Detailed drilling for resource estimation will commence next week.

Malachite Resources NL (ASX: MAR) advises that assay results have now been received for samples from drilling conducted at the Conrad Silver Project late in 2006. Multiple intersections were obtained in holes located along strike to the northwest of the King Conrad mine, where high grade silver and base metal mineralisation is known from earlier drilling by the Company. Importantly, the wide low grade mineralised zone previously known only in CMRD15 was intersected in several of the new holes. Drill hole details are set out in Table 1 and assays of the main mineralised intersections are listed in Table 2. Selected examples for the King Conrad lode follow:

CMRC23: 1m @ 272g/t Ag, 0.10% Cu, 5.11% Pb, 1.20% Zn and 0.46% Sn; or 727g/t Ageq

SANTOS

Fourth Quarter Activities Report - Santos meets forecast with record 2006 production

Santos today announced its highest ever annual production of 61.0 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe).

The 2006 result - which was at the upper end of the Company's forecast range - was 9% higher than 2005 total production of 56.0 mmboe and 7% higher than Santos' previous record production of 57.3 mmboe achieved in 2002.

Sales revenue increased by 12% to a record $2.77 billion for the year ended 31 December 2006 compared with $2.46 billion in 2005 and $1.50 billion in 2004.

Fourth quarter 2006 production of 15.4 mmboe was 4% higher than the previous corresponding period, reflecting new projects commissioned during the year, including the Darwin LNG project (offshore northern Australia), the Casino gas project (offshore Victoria) and the Maleo gas project (offshore Indonesia).

Sales revenue during the fourth quarter of $664 million was in line with the previous corresponding period in 2005, despite lower realised commodity prices. The average realised gas price in the fourth quarter of A$3.70 and the oil price of A$78.29 (US$61.20) were 3% and 2% lower respectively compared with the previous corresponding period.

For 2007, Santos has previously indicated production guidance of between 62 and 63 mmboe, and on a like for like basis, this guidance remains unchanged. However, with the proposed sale of Santos' USA assets (1.2 mmboe contribution in 2006) and uncertainty regarding timing for resolution of the current Maleo field offtake constraints, 2007 production guidance has been revised to between 59 and 61 mmboe.

"In 2006, Santos has delivered production at the upper end of its forecast range, resulting in record production and sales revenue," Santos' Managing Director, Mr John Ellice-Flint, said today..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street rebounded Tuesday, rising moderately as crude oil surged more than $2 a barrel and triggered a rally among energy producers. Investors regained their optimism about corporate profits after a series of positive earnings reports. Energy prices spiked after the Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said the U.S. will double the size of the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Advancing issues led decliners by a 3 to 2, on slightly higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.

Comex copper futures at the New York Mercantile Exchange settled sharply higher Tuesday, helped by a rally across the metals spectrum as well as a firm euro versus the dollar.

On the LME, three-month nickel soared to a fresh record high of $38,300 a metric ton, extending earlier gains, on follow-through speculative buying.

Gold jumped more than 2 percent to a seven-week high on Tuesday as a sharp decline in the dollar and firmer oil prices triggered speculative fund buying, dealers said.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

BEACONSFIELD GOLD MOVES TO RESTRUCTURE ALLSTATE

Beaconsfield Gold NL (ASX: BCD) has significantly advanced its long term aim of acquiring control of the Beaconsfield Mine in Tasmania.

Beaconsfield Gold has:

agreed to purchase, for a total of $2.85 million, inter-company debts of the Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate") group with a face value of $48 million, which will make Beaconsfield Gold the largest creditor of the Allstate group; and
reached agreement with Newmont Australia Limited ("Newmont") to acquire Newmont's 57.2% shareholding in Allstate for approximately $1.4 million, subject to approval by the minority shareholders of Allstate, which will take Beaconsfield Gold's total shareholding in Allstate to 82.8%.

These two key initiatives will provide a strong platform for Beaconsfield Gold to negotiate a commercial agreement with Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie"), Allstate's only secured creditor, to restructure Allstate and bring it out of administration for the benefit of all Allstate creditors, shareholders, employees and the Beaconsfield community generally.

Mr Bill Colvin, Chief Executive Officer for Beaconsfield Gold, said: "I am very optimistic that a comprehensive resolution is now close at hand. Our aim is to see the mine safely re-open under the control of a united and solvent ownership. We can see significant benefits for all Allstate stakeholders as well as Beaconsfield Gold shareholders. A real win-win situation."

Allstate inter-company debts to be acquired from Macquarie: Beaconsfield Gold to become the largest creditor of the Allstate Group

In March 2002, Macquarie purchased inter-company debts of the Allstate group that currently have a face value of $48 million.

Following an overwhelming vote by workers at the Beaconsfield Mine on 16 January 2007 in favour of a bid from Beaconsfield Gold, Macquarie has agreed to assign these debts in total to Beaconsfield Gold and documentation is presently underway. In exchange, Beaconsfield Gold will make payments totaling $2.85 million which Macquarie will gift for the benefit of the employees at the mine.

Total payment by Beaconsfield Gold will consist of:

$700,000 paid on execution of documentation; and
$2.15 million to be paid when the mine has re-opened and reached commercial production levels.

The assignment of these debts will make Beaconsfield Gold the largest single creditor of the Allstate Group.

Majority shareholding in Allstate to be acquired from Newmont: Beaconsfield Gold to move to 82.8% of Allstate

Beaconsfield Gold has agreed to acquire the majority shareholding in Allstate held by Newmont for 4.0 cents per fully paid share and 0.1 cents per partly paid share. Subsidiaries of Newmont hold a total of approximately 35.5 million fully paid shares and approximately 6.6 million partly paid shares, representing 57.2% of the total issued shares in Allstate.

Following the acquisition, Beaconsfield Gold will own 82.8% of the fully diluted share capital of Allstate.
Under the terms of the agreement, 1.5 cents of the fully paid share consideration will be payable on the transfer of the shares and a further 2.5 cents will be paid when the Allstate group achieves 30,000 ounces of attributable gold production following the recommencement of mining at the Beaconsfield Mine.

The acquisition is subject to approval by the Allstate minority shareholders (who hold approximately 17.2% of the total issued shares). Allstate will be requested to convene a general meeting of Allstate shareholders for that purpose. If the acquisition is approved by shareholders, Beaconsfield Gold has agreed to make an immediate takeover offer to all remaining minority Allstate shareholders on the same terms accepted by Newmont.

As part of the proposed transaction, Newmont has also agreed to forgive A$1.6 million receivable from Allstate, subject to both completion of the acquisition of its shares by Beaconsfield Gold and Allstate coming out of administration.

Commercial agreement to be negotiated to bring Allstate out of administration

With agreements in place to become the largest creditor and the controlling shareholder of Allstate, Beaconsfield Gold is now ideally placed to reach a commercial agreement with Macquarie, Allstate's only secured creditor, to restructure Allstate and bring it out of administration. Such a restructuring would involve a settlement for outstanding creditors and see value returned to Allstate shareholders. It would also provide a rationalisation of the joint venture structure that is more appropriate for the development of the mine going forward. Further details will be disclosed in due course.

MACMIN SILVER

MACMIN ENCOUNTERS FURTHER SILVER - ZINC AT TALLY HO

Summary

In November 2006, Macmin carried out a programme of drilling comprising reverse circulation and diamond drilling. Assay results from the reverse circulation drilling were recently received.

Highlights of the drill holes are as follows:

GRRC26 - 14m (16-30m) @ 80g/t silver, 2.94% zinc

GRRC29 - 2m (76-78m) @ 507g/t silver, 1.07g/t gold, 23.3% zinc, 0.72% copper

GRRC30 - 26m (46-72m) @ 46g/t silver, 4.34% zinc, 0.18% copper
Including 8m (50-58m) 70g/t silver, 0.16g/t gold, 9.56% zinc, 0.28% copper

GRRC32 - 6m (52-58m) @ 126g/t silver, 0.13g/t gold, 4.23% zinc, 1.48% lead, 0.29% copper

The significance of the results from this drilling programme, in comparison to the initial successful drilling carried out by Macmin in August 2006, is that higher zinc values were encountered in several holes. Encouraging mineralised intercepts occurred in most holes, but particularly holes GRRC29, 30 and 32, which have demonstrated narrower high grade silver-zinc polymetallic zones which represent an additional target to the broader mineralised zones previously encountered in the breccia body.

Drilling

The drilling programme undertaken at the Tally Ho Silver Project near Mackay in Central Queensland was carried out in November, 2006. The assay results from the RC drilling of the programme were received in January 2007.

A total of 13 reverse circulation drill holes (1,842m) were drilled; 7 holes on the Tally Ho breccia and 6 holes on the Lily prospect (located about 500m north-east of the Tally Ho breccia).

Significant zones of silver-zinc mineralisation were encountered in the Tally Ho breccia (Table 1 - Drill results and Table 2 - Co-ordinates); but only anomalous values were encountered around the Lily Prospect.

In drill hole GRRC29, a 2m interval (76-78m) encountered 507g/t silver, 1.07g/t gold, 23.3% zinc and 0.72% copper. This high grade massive sulphide intercept represents a new target type hosted within or adjacent to the breccia body. Significant zinc was also encountered in GRRC30 where an 8m intercept (50-58m) encountered 70g/t silver, 0.16g/t gold, 9.56% zinc and 0.28% copper, within the breccia.

A drill section (Figures 1 & 2 Section A-A) at Tally Ho shows the continuity of mineralised breccia, detected thus far, along a 200m length. Although silver mineralised throughout the drilled section, it can be seen that the silver dominant polymetallic mineralisation in the south-west passes to a zinc rich polymetallic mineralisation towards the north-east, which is very encouraging for the economic potential of the project as the zinc component would represent a very significant by-product credit, should development of a silver mine be undertaken.

Macmin carried out a ground magnetic survey (Figure 3) in October 2006, which revealed the presence of an annular magnetic high response. The one diamond drill hole that has intersected this magnetic feature has encountered disseminated magnetite and magnetite veinlets which may represent hydrothermal alteration from a shallow high level intrusive.

A multi-purpose drill rig has been contracted to start a major drilling programme at Tally Ho in April. In the meantime, a soil geochemical survey will be carried out to obtain data on the extent of the outcropping mineralised breccia/intrusive complex, with the aim of providing additional drill targets........

PPP ann: Tui-2H Drilling Update

Pan Pacific Petroleum N.L. ("PPP") reports that as at 0600 hours today, the pilot hole for the Tui-2H well had been drilled to a measured depth of 4,144 metres. The top of the oil reservoir was encountered at 4073 metres measured depth and an oil column of 6.3m (vertical) was established.

The pilot hole has been plugged back, and preparations are currently underway to drill the main horizontal production well bore into the oil reservoir as planned.

The Tui Area Development is located within PMP 38158, in the Taranaki basin, approximately 50 kilometres offshore of the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. First oil is expected from the development by June 30, 2007, and when fully commissioned, a production rate peaking at 50,000 bopd is anticipated.

Heron-1 Drilling Update

The land-drilling rig ZJ50LDB operated by drilling operator GWDC (Great Wall Drilling Company) has continued drilling the CNPCIM operated Heron-1 exploration well in coastal Block 20 onshore Mauritania, West Africa.

As at 2:00 pm (AWST) on the 22 January 2007, the operation was drilling ahead in 8 1/2 inch hole at a depth of 3558 metres with no shows. Continued reduced penetration rate has been due to the Operator attempting to reduce the deviation angle (angle from vertical) of the well.

Formation penetrated was largely interbedded claystones with some sandstones and occasional limestones.

The next zone of special interest is the Aptian aged limestones and sandstones. The Lower Albion aged section, which lies above the Aptian has been penetrated deep to prognosis resulting in a revised estimated depth of the Aptian from 3600 to approximately 3800 metres. The entire section from 2200 metres to the total depth of the well has potential reservoir seal pairs and occurs within closure of the Heron structure and therefore has the potential to contain hydrocarbons.

The Total Depth (TD) of the Heron-1 well will be revised based on the depth at which the Aptian is penetrated. Four casing strings are planned. Due to the slow penetration rate the well is expected to take longer than the three months originally planned. - Web Site

Fourth Quarter Activities & Cashflow Report

As we look to a new and exciting year . . .

Our work program reveals Tampakan's size and cost competitiveness . . .
Xstrata's decision to take a major interest in Tampakan supports the world-class nature of the project . . .
Indophil steps up as an emerging copper producer . . .
With a 32.5% interest in one of the world's best copper-gold projects . . .
Reinforcing Indophil as an attractive investment.

FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

The final quarter of the year was a very busy one for Indophil Resources NL.

We announced the completion of the A$27m pre-feasibility study that confirmed the Tampakan Copper-Gold Project's world class status. We issued a detailed summary of the study work program. We were notified by Xstrata Copper that it would sole fund project expenditure and - just prior to the end of the year - Xstrata Copper advised that it was exercising its option to acquire 62.5% of the Tampakan project. We are now working with Xstrata through a period of transition, with a project management handover on 30 March 2007.

The commitment to the project by Xstrata, a major global diversified mining group, is a strong validation of the world- class nature of the Tampakan project.

With Xstrata taking a controlling interest in the Tampakan project, Indophil Resources emerges as a future copper producer in its own right by retaining a 32.5% interest in potentially one of the world's biggest and most cost- competitive undeveloped copper-gold deposits. To give some perspective, if Tampakan was producing at the pre- feasibility study annual rate of approximately 210,000 tonnes of copper and 218,000 ounces of gold, it would rank in the top 20 copper producers in the world today.

Indophil is in a strong financial position to fund its interest in the ongoing Tampakan study work program, with A$62.3m in cash reserves and a further A$50m to come from the Xstrata Copper option fee. For a mining company with a market capital of around A$300m, that is by any measure an attractive and enviable position. Indophil also has considerable potential for upward revaluation on the basis of enterprise value.

During the quarter, we announced several Board changes. Peter Maloney stepped down as a Non-Executive Director due to other work commitments. We thank Peter for his outstanding contribution over the past four years. Dick Potts and Kyle Wightman have joined the Board. Their expertise and experience will be valuable as we move ahead.

We also welcome Scott Caithness as General Manager Exploration and Business Development. Scott, who took up his new post in early January, will drive our non- Tampakan business development program.

I am very pleased to report that our consistent efforts over the years continue to be recognised at a government and industry level with a range of prestigious awards for environmental management and project development focus. Details are provided later in this report.

Indophil Resources enters 2007 on the back of an active and productive 2006. We look forward to the continuing advancement of the world class Tampakan project and to growth of the Company in other areas; growth on all fronts that will lead to improved shareholder value. - Web Site

Quarterly Activity Report for the period ending 31 December 2006 - HIGHLIGHTS

A$58 million unaudited before tax profit for the six months to 31 December 2006
Full year before tax profit to 30 June 2007 now forecast to be A$175 million
Production of copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold at 15 month highs
Thalanga copper treatment facility commenced production
Maiden dividend of A$0.10 per share declared for the 2005/06 financial year
Record cash operating margin of US$1.86 per pound of payable copper
Record cash operating margin of US$1.33 per pound of payable zinc
Nickel sulphide production opportunity at Forrestania adjacent to the Flying Fox nickel deposit purchased for A$25 million cash. A$2 million drilling program to commence in March 2007
Drilling to commence in March 2007 at the Admiral Bay zinc-lead-silver deposit .

OVERVIEW
The half year to 31 December 2006 has confirmed the positive trends established during the proceeding 12 month period.

Pre-tax profit increased from a full year 2005/06 result of A$52 million to a half year result of A$58 million based on very strong metal production. This rising trend is expected to continue into the second half with a full year result anticipated to be in the order of A$175 million. This forecast is down A$25 million on previous estimates as a result of a six week delay in copper production from Thalanga, coupled with reduced forecast prices for copper.

Production of all metals in the December 2006 quarter was at a 15 month high with copper in particular increasing by 70% to 4,076 tonnes and with the recent commissioning of the Thalanga copper plant, well on target to achieve a full years production in excess of 25,000 tonnes of copper metal contained in concentrate. Cash operating margins for both copper and zinc were at record levels of US$1.86 per pound and US$1.33 per pound respectively.

Other significant events to occur during the December quarter were the declaration of a maiden 10 cents per share dividend for the 2005/06 financial year and the purchase of the Forrestania Nickel assets from Lionore Mining International for A$25 million. This purchase represents a cheap entry into potentially low cost, low risk and high grade nickel sulphide production and is a logical diversification to complement our zinc, copper and precious metal assets. .... - Web Site

LATIN GOLD

Drilling confirms surface resource potential at Paron Gold Project - Peru

The Paron drilling programme has been completed and the results confirm the existence of an outcropping and near surface zone of disseminated gold and silver mineralisation within the target area.
Gold intersections were recorded in the majority of holes and the drilling has demonstrated strong lateral continuity to the mineralised zone as well as demonstrating that within the zone itself there is almost continuous mineralisation.
An initial JORC compliant resource is currently being calculated and it is expected that it will be available for release by early next week.
The drilling programme has highlighted a central core to the mineralised zone where intersections grading over 5g/t gold are common and bulk intersections average greater than 20 metres at +2.5 g/t from surface.
The drilling programme has also indicated some additional potential for near surface mineralization to extend to the northwest of the mineralised zone.
Due to difficult ground conditions the deeper porphyry and faulted extension targets were not adequately tested and will require an additional drilling programme with a larger rig.
Subsequent to the receipt of the initial JORC resource Latin Gold plan to commence an in-house scoping study to evaluate the development options for the Paron gold project. - Web Site

Thunder Bay North Platinum-Palladium-Copper-Nickel Project, Northwest Ontario, Canada

Diamond drilling of magnetic anomalies at Current Lake intersected a mineralised ultramafic intrusion, which may be up to 1.5km long. Drill intersections from two holes completed so far include 10.5m @ 2.80g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 0.45% Cu & 0.34% Ni in the northern part of the intrusion and 7.2m @ 0.51g/t Pt+Pd+Au in the southern part of the intrusion. These drill-holes are 1km apart suggesting a potentially large mineralised system. Following these strongly encouraging results, an additional six diamond drill holes have been added to the first-pass drilling program.
This is a potentially significant greenfields discovery of Pt-Pd-Cu-Ni mineralisation in Canada that will be a focus of the Company's exploration activity in 2007.

Eastman Zinc-Copper Project, East Kimberley, Western Australia

An initial Inferred Mineral Resource estimate has been completed for the Eastman zinc- copper prospect based on drilling conducted by the Company and by previous explorers. The estimate is based on modelling of a zinc-rich domain and a copper-rich domain over a strike length of 200m and from surface to an average depth of 160m.
Mineralisation is open at depth and along strike to the west. Further drilling is planned to increase the size of the resource..... - Web Site

OVERVIEW

OPERATIONS

Quarterly Production

Gold production for the quarter of 59,577 (67,883) ounces of gold was achieved at a cash cost of A$645 per ounce (A$594).
Production at Golden Pride in Tanzania for the quarter was 31,644 (32,203) ounces of gold at a cash cost of A$548 (A$516) (US$425:US$392) per ounce.
Gold production at Ravenswood generated 27,933 (35,680) ounces at a cash cost of A$756 (A$664) per ounce.

DEVELOPMENT

Syama

Fiscal negotiations completed.
Construction activities commenced.
Detailed design and updated capital estimate nearly completed.
Letter of Intent issued to mining contractor, PW International, to facilitate purchase of mining equipment.

Mt Wright

Decline development progressed well during the quarter advancing to 1,285m.
Stope definition drilling started.

EXPLORATION

Exploration drilling continued at regional prospects near Syama in Mali, Ravenswood in Queensland, Golden Pride in Tanzania, and Weststar in Ghana.

In Mali results from the extensive reverse circulation drilling programme designed to test the 6km long ‘Quartz Vein Hill trend' of mineralisation stretching between 5 and 11km north of Syama is returning consistently encouraging results including: 8m @ 14.5g/t Au, 18m @ 5.3g/t Au and 3m @ 50.3g/t Au.
Also in Mali, reverse circulation drilling has recommenced on the Tabakoroni resource south of Syama. This programme is designed to infill the areas between the previously defined zones of high grade. Preliminary results include very significant intercepts that provide confidence in the continuity of the mineralisation. Best results include: 10m @ 201.1g/t Au, 42m @ 4.3g/t and 5m @ 65.4g/t Au.
In Tanzania a new geology and exploration model for Golden Pride has been completed following a major campaign of re-logging and data integration. Using the results of this model an exploration ‘footprint' has been established to assist in new programme of regional exploration. Wide spaced regional air core drilling along 17km of the Golden Pride shear has already defined several ‘footprint' targets for follow up including a new intercept of 35m @ 3.6g/t Au.

CORPORATE

Group cash and bullion at the end of the quarter was A$155m (A$9).

TRI ORIGIN MINERALS

Shareholder Update.......

The past year has been a very successful one for Tri Origin Minerals, with significant growth achieved in market capitalisation for the benefit of all shareholders. We aim to build on this progress in 2007 as we develop a potentially lucrative zinc resource.

Since listing on the ASX in January 2004, Tri Origin has worked hard for the benefit of shareholders to develop a pathway to cash flow by building a portfolio of base and precious metal assets in the Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales.

In 2005, we put in place the platforms for growth and established an appropriate corporate culture. Last year, we focussed on adding value for shareholders by targeting the Woodlawn region, and through the potential redevelopment of the Woodlawn mine we expect to define a pathway to cash flow early in 2007.

This year, we will maintain the focus on Woodlawn by completing our evaluation studies with the goal of achieving development early in 2008 and ultimately being reclassified as an emerging producer of zinc, copper and other metals. The prefeasibility study (PFS) for the redevelopment of the Woodlawn underground mine is well underway and the results will define the way forward........... - Web Site

DISCOVERY OF NEW NICKEL SULPHIDE MINERALIZATION

Mirabela Nickel (ASX; MBN) is pleased to announce the discovery of new nickel sulphide mineralization about 2km northeast of the Santa Rita deposit where two RC holes have returned the following significant intersections:

Significant intersections 2km northeast along strike from Santa Rita

Hole ID	From (m)	To (m)	Downhole width	Ni%	Cu%
MBRC 070¹	0	20	20	0.62	0.14
MBRC 071²	17	21	4	0.78	0.13
MBRC 071	26	33	7	0.40	0.12

0.4% Ni cut off grade, 4m minimum mining width

¹ Oxidised intersection
² Oxidised to 25m downhole

Drill hole MBRC 070 (20m @ 0.62% Ni) was collared in mineralization. Hole MBRC 071 (composite intersection - 11m @ 0.54% Ni) was drilled on section about 80m below MBRC 070. Whilst the intersections in MBRC 071 appear to be narrow at a cut-off grade of 0.4% Ni, they are part of a thicker zone of nickel sulphide mineralization about 20m wide. As a result, continuity of mineralization with depth is established.

The two holes were designed to test an anomaly (1% Ni, 0.3% Cu in soil) lying between gabbro and basement rocks as indicated on the attached drill status plan. Both holes were drilled 60o towards the northeast, perpendicular to the gabbro contact. It appears that the mineralization dips about 25o to the southwest, which infers that the intersections are close to true width...... - Web Site

Farm-in to Citrus 7 Well at South East Lost Hills

Nuenco NL ("NEO") is pleased to announce that following discussions, which commenced in December 2006 and resulted in an offer being made by Nuenco at that time, Nuenco has completed an agreement which allows Australian public unlisted company Modena Resources Limited ("Modena") to farm-in to acreage on which the Citrus #7 well, situated adjacent to South East Lost Hills, is currently being drilled.

Under the terms of the farm-in to earn a 10% working interest (with Nuenco retaining a significant working interest of 20%) in approximately 2,200 acres to the drill depth of the farmin wells:

Modena has paid Nuenco 17% of the AFE (approximate financial estimate) from operator Orchard Petroleum, Inc to drill Citrus #7 to a depth of approximately 4,000 feet;
Modena has undertaken to pay 17% of the well costs through to completion of the Citrus #7 well of the first block of the farmin acreage;
Within 60 days Modena is obligated to participate in a second test well on the second block of the farmin acreage to a depth of approximately 4,000 feet by paying 17% of the well costs through to completion;
Modena has paid Nuenco for back costs.

The effect of the farm-in is that Nuenco has recouped approximately 80% of the costs it has incurred to drill the Citrus #7 well to approximately 4,000 feet by reducing its working interest from 30% to 20% while retaining a significant working interest in this acreage....... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street fell Monday as growing concerns over technology companies - relief about oil's decline wasn't enough, though, to offset technology-related worries, which were kindled by analyst downgrades of Cisco Systems Inc., the world's largest networking equipment maker; Motorola Inc., the world's second largest cell phone maker; and computer maker Dell Inc.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1, on slightly lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.

Crude oil fell on speculation that U.S. fuel inventories are sufficient to meet demand.

Nickel, the only gainer this year on the LME, pared an advance that sent prices to a record after the owner of the metal on board a ship grounded off the southwest coast of England said the vessel carried less than 20 percent of the expected amount. The MSC Napoli, which is being towed to Devon, England, carried 160 metric tons of nickel, Keith Dunleavy, managing director of London-based Stratton Metal Resources Ltd., said today in a phone interview. Stratton owns the metal on board. Reuters reported on Jan. 19 that the ship contained at least 1,000 tons.

Copper prices in New York rose for the second session in a row on speculation US demand may pick up for the metal used in homes, cars and appliances.

Gold eased in New York from a two- week high as a gain in the value of the US dollar reduced the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment.

POSITIVE DRILLING RESULTS AT SPLINTER
Average Iron Grades up to 100% Higher than Previously Reported

Emerging precious and base metals explorer, Azure Minerals Limited (ASX: AZS) today announced positive assay results from the Company's 100%-owned Splinter project ("Splinter", "The Project").

Splinter is located approximately 120km northeast of the port of Esperance, Western Australia and comprises four granted Exploration Licences covering 840km2 (Figure 1).

The Project has been a focus of the Company since it listed in 2003 due to its prospectivity for iron ore (magnetite-style) deposits and iron oxide copper-gold deposits.

The Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at Splinter was completed in December 2006 with details of the assays outlined in the following Appendix. Highlights of today's assay results included:

Wide zones of high grade magnetite mineralisation intersected in the Northern Hinge Zone
Better intercepts include 24m @ 30.8% iron and 50m @ 22.6% iron
Average iron grades are 30% - 100% greater than previous drilling
High grades start at only 8 metres below surface
Davis Tube Recovery metallurgical testwork previously reported:
- magnetite recovery of 39.5%;
- magnetite concentrate grade of 66.5% iron; and
- very low levels of impurities.

Managing Director, Mr Tony Rovira, said that despite the Company's growing focus on its Mexican projects, Splinter continued to show a lot of promise...... - Web Site

POE-9 Oil Disovery

The POE-9 discovery well has continued to perform well under test.

The well was drilled in the southern fault block of a large 12 square kilometre faulted structural closure segmented into four separate fault blocks.

On 31st December 2006 the POE-9 well was drilled to a depth of 1,275 metres. The well encountered four potential fractured volcanic reservoir zones at depths of 794, 853, 1,007 and 1,142 metres. The second zone at 853 metres of approximately 50 metres in gross thickness was perforated in the top 17 metres with flow testing commencing on 10th January 2007.

On testing, the well immediately began to flow free oil to surface with flow rates climbing to 560 bopd with an initial pre-clean up water cut of 15% before being choked back during the clean up process. The choke has now been opened up and POE-9 has been put on production at between 380 and 390 bopd. The water cut is at a minimal 0.1%. The well is free flowing, with a beam pump operating to keep the production tubing clear of wax. Porosity of this test zone has been interpreted from log data to be between 6% and 9%.

The other potential fractured reservoir zones encountered in the well will not be flow tested at this time. This has allowed the well to be put on production immediately without being potentially compromised by further operations......... - Web Site

Progress Report - Habanero 3

Following shareholder briefings in each mainland capital city last November, Geodynamics is pleased to provide this further update on its progress toward the drilling of its first commercial scale well, Habanero 3. This well is designed to perform a dual purpose:

Initially to enable completion of a circulation test and the proving of geothermal reserves to complete Stage One of the Company's business plan; and
then being connected into the first commercial scale, 40 MW power generation project.

As previously advised, the Company is targeting spudding Habanero 3 mid year.

Detailed design and well planning is being carried out by Geodynamics' own staff with the support of consultants such as Peak Group for particular packages of work. All of this work is on track.

Although the very buoyant oil and gas industry is stretching suppliers of items such as well casing, we have been successful in placing orders that are expected to meet that target.

Tenders have been awarded for critical long lead items as follows:

the well casing. This casing totals 830 tonnes of steel pipe with diameters ranging from 9 5/8" to 26";
the well head, which connects the top of the casing to the surface valving and control systems during drilling; and
the Christmas tree (Permanent surface valving)....... - Web Site

KIMBERLEY DIAMOND

EXPLORATION UPDATE

1. Kimberley Diamond Company NL (ASX: KIM, AIM: KDC) Kimberley has maintained an active exploration program over the Ellendale Mining Lease throughout the December 2006 quarter. Most recent work has revolved around the Bauer wide diameter drilling program that commenced during the September 2006 quarter and was terminated on 18 December, as the start of the northern monsoon season made further field work impractical.

During the course of the program, 258 bulk samples were recovered from 10 lamproite pipes using a Bauer BG36 drill. This machine drilled a hole 2.5 metres in diameter that collected approximately 10 tonnes of sample per vertical metre drilled. In total, 113 holes were drilled and approximately 26,235 tonnes of sample were collected during this program. The table below summarises the drilling and sampling completed on individual pipes...........

2. Blina Diamonds NL (ASX: BDI) Kimberley's 51 percent owned subsidiary Blina Diamonds NL (ASX: BDI) is undertaking exploration for alluvial diamond deposits on five project areas within and around the Ellendale Mining Lease. Blina has recently announced the recovery of 6,446 diamonds weighing 2,131 carats from mining and exploration samples collected mainly from the Western Channel of the Ellendale 9 North alluvial area (located immediately to the north of Kimberley's Ellendale 9 Mining operations). The Company recently received approvals to recommence mining at Ellendale 9 North with the initial block processed returning grades of 20.29cpht at an average diamond size of 0.38 carats from the 7,100 tonnes of gravel treated.

Blina's exploration on the Western Channel of Ellendale 9 North has shown that commercial diamond concentrations are present in gravels to the downstream limit of exploration - some 500 metres downstream of the current mining operations. Channel widths are in excess of 200 metres and these continue to the current limits of exploration......... - Web Site

CAPE ALUMINA CONFIRMS MAIDEN BAUXITE RESOURCE

Metallica Minerals Limited's 50% owned associate, Cape Alumina Pty Ltd, will commence a formal Scoping Study into a new bauxite development on Queensland's Cape York Peninsula following the announcement of its first JORC-compliant bauxite mineral resource statement.

Cape Alumina announced today that an assessment by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Pty Ltd concluded that the portions of the company's Wenlock and Catfish Creek bauxite deposits drilled in September 2006 and located 60 kilometres north-east of Weipa, contain an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 54 million tonnes of insitu bauxite.

Cape Alumina Chief Executive Officer, Dr Paul Messenger, said the mineral resource, covering tenement EPM14547, "is an excellent start for the Weipa bauxite project and in line with expectations".

"Cape Alumina will now make preparations to drill extensions of the mineralisation into its adjoining tenement (EPMA15278 - 100% Cape Alumina) and complete a formal Scoping Study into establishing a bauxite mining and export operation", Dr Messenger said.

Mr Andrew Gillies Managing Director of Metallica Minerals said that, with the completion of the Wenlock and Catfish Creek mineral resource estimate, one of China's largest independent alumina refinery companies, Chiping Xinfa Huayu Alumina Co Ltd, now has 30 days in which to exercise its option to acquire 10% of the shares in Cape Alumina from Metallica Minerals Limited for a total of A$4,625,000 (see ASX Release dated 24 August 2006).

Mr Gillies said that EPM14547 covers part of the Catfish Creek deposit as well as approximately 15 square kilometres of the Wenlock deposit. Both bauxite deposits extend onto adjoining EPMA15278. The bauxite deposits are predominantly free-digging, gibbsite-rich pisolitic bauxite, averaging 2.4m thick at Wenlock, and lie less than 1 metre below the surface (see Figures 1, 2 & 3)........ - Web Site

PROJECT APPROVALS FOR KEMAMAN PELLET PLANT

Grange Resources Limited is pleased to announce the receipt of two important project approvals from the Malaysian Government for its 6.8 million tonne per annum Iron Ore Pellet Plant to be built at Kemaman in Malaysia.

Firstly, Environmental Approval for the pellet plant has been received from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. This approval sets out the conditions under which the plant can operate. Grange is pleased that the environmental conditions set for the pellet plant are appropriate for a project of this scale. An appeal has been lodged in respect to one condition relating to material storage areas however Grange is confident that this condition will be amended as requested.

Secondly, a Manufacturing Licence has been issued by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Malaysia (MITI). This approval sets out MITI's requirements for the construction and operation of the pellet plant. These conditions are also considered to be appropriate.

The receipt of these two approvals represents significant milestones in the development of this $US550 million investment.

These approvals, together with the previous approval of Pioneer Status with its associated package of investment incentives, demonstrate the strong support the Malaysian Government has given to the development of this project. - Web Site

Placement

Prairie Downs Metals Ltd has mandated ABN AMRO Morgans Limited to place approximately 5.6 million shares at $0.45 per share to raise approximately $2.5 million. The placement shares will be issued to professional investors with a settlement date of 25 January 2007. The funds raised will be used to finance ongoing exploration of the Prairie Downs Zinc Project and the scoping study now underway.

Drilling will recommence next month at Prairie Downs, subject to drill rig availability, with the initial objective of doubling the existing resource of one million tonnes at a grade of 8.3% zinc, 1.7% lead and 22g/t silver. The Company is confident of achieving this objective given that the three lodes which comprise the resource remain open at depth and along strike, and that the recently discovered Zed Lode is not included in the resource.

The scoping study results are expected to be available in March........ - Web Site

SUNDANCE RESOURCES

SUNDANCE FORGES KEY DRILLING ALLIANCE FOR MBALAM IRON ORE PROJECT, WEST AFRICA
INITIAL CONTRACT FOR DELIVERY OF 20,000 METRES OF RC AND DIAMOND DRILLING IN 2007

Australian-based iron ore company Sundance Resources Ltd (ASX: SDL) today announced that it had signed an agreement with leading Western Australian-based international drilling services group, Wallis Drilling Pty Ltd, for the 2007 resource drilling program at its 90%-owned Mbalam Iron Ore Project in the Republic of Cameroon.

The agreement lays the foundations for a long-term alliance between Sundance and Wallis Drilling for the provision of drilling and support services in this emerging West African iron ore province.

The initial scope provides for up to 20,000 metres of Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond drilling to be carried out at Mbalam during 2007, with the program scheduled to commence in April. Under the alliance arrangement, Wallis will mobilise two drill rigs for the 2007 exploration program, whereupon it is envisaged that Wallis will mobilise additional rigs for Sundance's proposed long-term drilling program at Mbalam.

Drilling will commence at the Mbarga Prospect, where previous exploration by the United Nations Development Fund identified massive hematite outcrop. Drilling will subsequently be extended to the Metzimevin Prospect and other priority targets identified within Exploration Permit (EP) 92 from the aeromagnetic survey completed by Sundance in 2006. The Mbarga and Metzimevin Prospects alone have estimated mineralisation in excess of 800 million tonnes, including 218 million tonnes grading +60% Fe...... - Web Site
