Stocks surged higher Friday as another round of corporate takeovers prodded investors to continue a largely uninterrupted months-long buying streak. The Dow Jones industrial average registered its 24th record close this year and the Standard & Poor's 500 index came within striking distance of its record high.
This was despite the Chinese central bank announcing the one-year benchmark lending rate will be raised to 6.57 percent tomorrow, from 6.39 percent - and increasing banks' reserve requirements, as Chinese authorities act to quell a rapidly rising stock market and put a brake to the fast-growing mainland economy.
A stronger-than-expected reading on consumer sentiment also helped investors set aside some concern that consumers, unnerved by higher gas prices, would pull back on spending and upend the economy's smooth slowdown. The preliminary Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment for May came in at 88.7. Wall Street had expected the reading would be unchanged from April at 87.1.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 5 to 3, on slightly higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
For the week, the Dow rose 1.73 percent, its seventh straight week of gains. The recent weekly gains mark the longest streak of wins since an eight-week gain that ended in January 2004. The S&P 500 gained 1.12 percent and the Nasdaq lost 0.15 percent.
Bonds fell as the market apparently looked past China's announcement of an interest rate increase and a widening of the range at which the yuan can trade.
On the LME copper headed for the largest weekly decline in three months as China prepared to raise interest rates to an eight-year high, a move that may curb demand for commodities.
Aluminum and zinc gained.
However copper futures gained in New York, erasing an earlier slide, after a report showed that U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly rose in May.
Gold in New York rose from an eight- week low as a decline in the value of the dollar boosted the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against the U.S. currency. Silver also climbed.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. said on Friday it will acquire gold jewelry manufacturers Bel-Oro International and Aurafin LLC.

Additional Exploration License Granted at Golden China's Beyinhar Gold Project
New Beyinhar Joint Venture Business License Registered
Toronto, Ontario, May 17, 2007 - Golden China Resources Corporation (GCX: TSX; ASX) today announced that it has secured a strategic, second exploration license at its Beyinhar gold project, significantly increasing the potential of the company's resource base to the south west of the established mineralization. As well, the company's new 95% owned cooperative joint venture company for the Beyinhar project has been granted its required business license under Chinese law.
"Beyinhar is shaping up to be a significant asset for Golden China. We are very encouraged by the project's recent progress, including our continued success in negotiating the complex Chinese mining industry approvals process as evidenced by our new south west exploration permit and joint venture business license registration. We are also excited by the positive results of a NI 43-101 Scoping Study, filed with the appropriate regulatory bodies today, indicating a cash cost per production ounce that is well below industry average," said Greg Starr, President and Chief Executive Officer of Golden China. "Beyinhar's future prospects are also excellent. As a result of the second exploration license, we aim to more than double the project's measured and indicated resources by October of this year. This will be followed by a feasibility study, expected for the end of calendar 2007, which could potentially see the project in development by April 2008." ......- Web Site

Update on Operations and Development
Operations
Broken Hill
Production at Broken Hill has continued to ramp up with full remote loading capacity reinstated. However, due to the operating disruptions in the March quarter, a bottle neck in stope development activities has emerged.This will adversely affect the number of available ore stopes for mining in the next four months.
As a result the 2006/07 production from Broken Hill will be constrained to approximately 90,000 tonnes zinc and 60,000 tonnes lead.
Beltana
Mining at the Beltana open pit mine continues to progress ahead of schedule and below budget. It is expected that approximately 10,000 tonnes contained zinc will be stockpiled by end 2006/07.
It is anticipated that the first direct ore shipment could be advanced as much as 2-4 months to early in the December quarter 2007.
Significant capital expenditure savings have been achieved with regard to modifying the existing Port Pirie ore storage and ship loading facility, reducing the planned project capital spend from $14.4 million to $5.8 million.
Potosi Exploration Decline
Development of the Potosi exploration decline at Broken Hill has progressed 308 metres beyond the portal entrance. Raise boring of the first ventilation rise was completed in May and lateral development to the ore body will commence in July. - Web Site

Rio Tinto and BP join forces to develop clean energy worldwide
BP and Rio Tinto today announced the formation of a new jointly-owned company, Hydrogen Energy, which will develop decarbonised energy projects around the world. The venture will initially focus on hydrogen-fuelled power generation, using fossil fuels and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to produce new large-scale supplies of clean electricity.
Decarbonised energy projects are based on the conversion of fossil fuel feedstocks such as coal, petroleum coke (a refinery by-product) or natural gas, to hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases, with the carbon dioxide being captured and sent for permanent storage in geological formations deep beneath the Earth's surface.
In power projects, the hydrogen would be used to fuel a gas turbine for generation of industrial-scale supplies of electrical power. Full integration with CCS technology would ensure that 90 per cent of the carbon dioxide which would otherwise have been emitted to the atmosphere would be safely captured and stored.
There is rapid worldwide development of new power generating capacity as older power stations are replaced and new plants built to meet growth in demand, particularly in the rapidly expanding economies of the developing world. According to the International Energy Agency, about two-thirds of the generating capacity that will be needed in the next 25 years has yet to be built. Much of the growth will be in countries where coal is abundant and so the fuel is expected to be a significant part of the energy mix. - Web Site

Wall Street retreated modestly in wobbly trading Thursday, with investors putting their buying spree on hold to mull over mixed economic data.
Robust economic data Thursday included the Labor Department's report that jobless claims fell last week for the fifth straight week, and the Philadelphia Fed's May manufacturing index, which showed a stronger-than-anticipated increase. But the Conference Board forecast slower economic growth, with its April index of leading economic indicators declining more than expected.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 5 to 3, on marginally lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
The US dollar rose against other major currencies, while gold prices fell.
Crude oil prices rebounded sharply on supply fears ahead of the summer driving season.
Copper dropped the most in 11 months in London on speculation rising production in China will swell the stockpiles of the world's largest metals consumer.
Zinc had its biggest slide in more than two months while lead fell the most since November.
Zinc exports from China, the world's largest user and producer of the metal, will exceed 450,000 tons for the first time since 2003, the International Lead and Zinc Study Group said May 15.
Lead inventories monitored by the LME gained 6.4 percent to 47,875 tons, the biggest one-day gain since July 30, 2005. Inventories have increased 16 percent this year.
Also on the LME, aluminum, nickel and tin declined.
Gold in New York fell to the lowest in eight weeks as a gain in the value of the dollar reduced the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against the U.S. currency. Silver also declined.

Call on Partly Paid Shares -- 2 cents
Excellent progress has been made in advancing the Touquoy Gold Project through the feasibility study and environmental approval processes. Engineering and cost studies have now been substantially completed, and the search for and inspection of used plant inventory with which to further enhance the project economics, remains ongoing. With regard to project permitting the Nova Scotia Minister of Environment and Labour has determined that āāthe adverse effects or significant environmental effects which may be caused by the undertaking are limited and that a focus report is required.'' Significantly the Minister has neither moved the Project to a federal review nor to a comprehensive report level. The focus report is presently in preparation.
In order to advance the environmental approval process to completion and to ensure preparedness for securing used plant under the presently active market conditions the Directors have decided to make a call of 2 cents on each of the 30.3 million partly paid ordinary shares on issue and currently paid to 7 cents....... - Web Site

PROJECT UPDATE - SALE OF BOUNTY NICKEL RIGHTS
Azure Minerals Limited (ASX: AZS) is pleased to announce it has finalised an agreement with Australian Mines Limited (ASX: AUZ) to sell the nickel rights to the Bounty Project located approximately 450km east of Perth.
Commenting on the deal, Azure Minerals' Managing Director Mr Tony Rovira said the transaction supported the Company's overall growth strategy focused in Mexico.
"This sale is part of the Company's plan to divest our non-core Australian projects and continue to focus our efforts on our exciting projects in Mexico where we are approximately half way through a second stage drilling programme that will test 5 targets," said Mr Rovira.
Under the terms of the agreement, Australian Mines pays Azure Minerals A$75,000 for its interest in the project. Should Australian Mines subsequently produce a bankable feasibility study based on a minimum of 15,000 tonnes of contained nickel, Australian Mines will pay Azure an additional A$1,000,000.
In Mexico, Azure is currently diamond drilling at the La Bufa prospect (on the San Nicolas project) following-up high grade molybdenum values previous intersected in trench sampling. Drill results and assays will be reported to the market once completed.
The Pozo de Nacho project is Azure's next target, where substantial widths of porphyry hosted molybdenum mineralisation have been intersected in previous drilling (eg: 198m @ 0.06% MoS2)..... - Web Site

Pours first gold at Bronzewing
View Resources Limited (ASX:VRE) is pleased to announce that it has joined the ranks of Australian gold producers by pouring its first gold at the historic Bronzewing Project in North Eastern Goldfields of W.A. This event marks a significant milestone in View's history as it moves towards becoming a mid-tier Australian mining house.
"We are extremely pleased with the progress that has been made at Bronzewing and this gold pour is the culmination of a great deal of effort." said Managing Director Tim Gooch. "The entire team has worked extremely hard to achieve our stated goal of starting āon time and on budget'. In the current market this is an exceptional result and one that underlines the strengths and capabilities of both the management and operational teams within View".
Mining commenced at Bronzewing from early April, whilst the plant refurbishment was completed and final staffing secured. The Bronzewing plant will ramp up to its full 2.3mtpa nameplate capacity within three months, ensuring the mine operates at its peak efficiency. The recent addition of a further 62,000 oz of reserves as reported in April has increased the initial Bronzewing cash returns to around $100M, with the overall cash margin increasing close to $300/oz. Based on current defined ore reserves the initial mine life will be 41/2 years, producing an average of 120,000 oz gold per annum. However, View fully expects this to extend via a combination of an aggressive exploration programme, ongoing reviews of existing resources and third party sources in the region. .
With Carnilya Hill set to produce nickel within the second half of the year, the Company is well placed to be a multi-commodity, multi-site, producer by the end of 2007.- Web Site

Wall Street shot higher Wednesday after investors shrugged off a mixed reading on the housing sector and focused on the positives: a jump in industrial output, a retreat in crude oil prices and new cash pouring into the stock market. The Dow Jones industrials rose 103 points to another closing record.
Stocks initially slipped after Commerce Department data showed applications for building permits fell by the biggest amount in 17 years during April punctured an early rally. But they gradually regained strength, finding support from a Federal Reserve report that showed industrial output rose more than expected in April (up by 0.7 percent), and a rebound in U.S. crude and gasoline inventories that caused crude oil prices to pull back.
News that billionaires Warren Buffett, Edward Lampert and Carl Icahn were upping equity investments also gave investors confidence that stocks have further to climb.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 5 to 3, on lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Copper in New York tumbled 3.3 percent, the most in three months, on speculation that demand may slow in China, the world's biggest consumer of the metal used in pipes and wires.
Gold in New York dropped almost 2 percent to the lowest in seven weeks as a gain in the value of the dollar against major currencies reduced the appeal of precious metals as alternative investments. Silver closed below $13 an ounce for the first time in two months.

Wall Street gave up a huge advance and closed mixed Tuesday after an unimpressive snapshot of the housing market unsettled investors. The Dow Jones industrials, which surpassed 13,400 early in the session, slipped back but still eked out a record close.
The National Association of Homebuilders said its housing index dropped to 30 from 33 in April, indicating a deteriorating housing outlook.
The Labor Department said prices paid by consumers rose less than expected in April, and indicated that inflation may be easing as the economy continues to cool. The consumer price index rose 0.4 percent after rising 0.6 percent in March, while core prices -- which exclude food and energy -- rose 0.2 percent after a 0.1 percent gain.
A barrel of light sweet crude rose 71 cents to $63.17 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Concerns lingered in the commodities market about refinery problems and uncertainties over whether U.S. gasoline inventories can meet summer driving demand.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 2, on significantly higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Copper rose the most in a week in New York after imports into China, the world's biggest consumer of the metal, surged 61 percent in the year's first four months.
Gold and silver rose in New York on speculation the U.S. Federal Reserve won't raise interest rates after a report showed inflation may be abating.
IMWAUNA DRILLING INTERSECTS GRADES
TO 21.3g/t GOLD & 61g/t SILVER
Vancouver 15th May 2007. New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) reports further drill results from its 100% owned Imwauna Project within the Normanby Property in Papua New Guinea. All results above a cut-off of 0.5g/t gold are shown in the table below.
Assay results have been received from diamond drill holes IMD095 to IMD097 inclusive. Hole IMD104 is now in progress and results are awaited for holes IMD098 to IMD103. Of particular significance are the multiple intersections in hole IMD095 collared in the south of the project including 1.0m at 8.40g/t gold and 27g/t silver between 32.6 and 33.6m; 1.10m at 9.05g/t gold and 20g/t silver between 108.3m and 109.4m and 4.6m at 6.44g/t gold between 111.3m and 115.9m including 1.0m at 21.3g/t gold and 15.5g/t silver.
Generally, narrow, high grade zones were intersected in drill holes IMD096 and IMD097 collared in the centre of the prospect area. Results include 0.20m at 15.65g/t gold and 61g/t silver from 68.70m to 68.90m and 0.20m at 10.95g/t gold and 10g/t silver from 90.60m to 90.80m in IMD096. Drilling has shown that even such narrow intervals of high grade are significant as these zones can rapidly increase in width along strike or to depth.
Diamond drilling with the second core rig has been completed at the adjacent Weioko prospect on the Sehulea Property, Normanby Island, and is being mobilised to the Normanby Property to increase the drilling capability at that project. Drilling with this second rig will focus on exploratory holes to test prospects such as Ebessowa to the north of Imwauna (see map at www.newguineagold.ca), the Imwauna system at depth and further along strike to the south. These exploration holes will allow an Inferred Resource for the system to be estimated in addition to Indicated and Measured Resources based on the detailed drilling completed to date.
Summary assay results and drill collar location data for drill holes IMD095 to IMD097 inclusive is given in the following tables:.....

Browns Reef Zinc Lead Project (100% Comet)
Hole BR0007 drilled by Comet at the Browns Reef Zinc Lead Project intersected 40 metres at 1.8% Zinc (Zn), 0.8% Lead (Pb), 0.14% Copper (Cu), and 5.8g/t Silver (Ag) from 333 metres. This intersection also contains higher grade zones including 5 metres @ 3.8% Zn, 1.5% Pb, 0.07% Cu and 11.2g/t Ag from 358 metres and 4 metres @ 3.7% Zn, 1.8% Pb, 0.31% Cu and 13.8g/t Ag from 369 metres. BR0007 was drilled at 437087 m GDA East and 6312610 m GDA North with an azimuth of 71Ā° and a dip of 65Ā°
The width and style of mineralisation is consistent with previous drill intersections. The mineralised zone is still open along strike and at depth. Historic RAB and surface sampling has indicated mineralisation extends for at least 10 km. The intersection in BR0007 supports the potential of this wide and extensive zone of mineralisation to host a large tonnage (+50 million tonne) ore body...... - Web Site

ARC and EWC form new project alliance for development of the Western Australian domestic LNG industry
PERTH, Western Australia: ARC Energy Limited (ASX:ARQ) ARC Energy (ARC) and Energy World Corporation (EWC) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop an LNG business focused on the domestic Western Australian gas market.
ARC is embarking on a regional exploration drilling program in Western Australia's Canning Basin which will be targeting both oil and gas. The discovery of commercially viable gas reserves in the Canning Basin would have the potential to transform the domestic gas supply situation in Western Australia. EWC is an innovative Hong Kong based developer of "modular" LNG facilities and marine transport systems. The alliance partners believe that the threshold economic size and time to market for commercialisation of gas reserves in the Canning Basin could be substantially reduced by the combination of ARC's upstream operational and exploration skills and EWC's innovative LNG systems.
The alliance will initially investigate the feasibility of the production and marine shipment of LNG from the Canning Basin to markets in the Pilbara and the Southwest of the State. Such a system has the potential to dramatically reduce the time and cost of getting gas to market from any discoveries in the Canning Basin. The impact on WA's domestic gas supply situation could be dramatic...... - Web Site

VPE's ann: GROWLER-2 DRILLING REPORT, PEL 104, SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COOPER BASIN
Victoria Petroleum N.L. as operator for the PEL 104 Joint Venture advises that at 0600 hours CST today, the operation was waiting on weather prior to drilling ahead at 108 metres. It is anticipated that the resumption of drilling may take 3 - 4 days subject to there being no further rain in the area.
Growler-2 is being drilled as an appraisal well on the Growler Oil field to test the 16 metre oil column discovered in the Jurassic Birkhead Formation in Growler-1. Secondary targets are the Namur and Hutton sandstones. Growler-2 is 705 metres north of Growler-1 and interpreted to be an up dip crestal test of the Growler Oil Field as currently mapped. Growler-2 is planned to be drilled to a depth of 1,785 metres.
At the P50 level, and following the incorporation of the velocity information from the recent successful Wirraway-1 drilling to generate the post drill near top Hutton depth map, the Growler structure is mapped at the P50 level as a four way dip closed feature covering approximately 900 acres located on the western margin of the Cooper Basin. The P50 oil-in-place for the Growler structure alone is estimated to be 5.7 million barrels and most likely recoverable oil is estimated to be 1.4 million barrels..... - Web Site

LionOre Reports First Quarter 2007 Results
Record Sales and Operating Earnings
Toronto, Ontario: May 14, 2007 - LionOre Mining International Ltd. ("LionOre"), (TSX/ASX: LIM, LSE: LOR, BSE: LIONORE) today reported its first quarter 2007 financial and operational results. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
Commenting on the results, Colin Steyn, President and CEO of LionOre, said "LionOre has again delivered another very strong quarterly operating performance in this positive climate of high commodity prices. New quarterly records were achieved for mineral sales, at over half a billion dollars, and operating earnings of $343.5 million. LionOre's cash balance as at the end of March was an unprecedented $643.4 million.
Net earnings, however, were negatively affected by the accounting treatment of recognizing the unrealized, non-cash loss related to the market value of the Company's metal forward sales contracts. This unrealized after-tax loss of $87.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, resulted in net earnings of $148.3 million or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to $235.8 million or $0.97 per diluted share excluding the unrealized loss. It should also be noted that embedded profit on payable nickel in inventory at the end of the quarter amounted to $104 million, or $0.42 per diluted share at the nickel prices and exchange rates that prevailed at March 31st."....... - Web Site

Alto Cuilo; Bulk Sampling Update
Petra Diamonds Limited ('Petra'), the AIM-quoted diamond mining group, announces an update with regards to the bulk sampling campaign at project Alto Cuilo (' Alto Cuilo') in Angola.
Bulk Sampling
The initial phase of the large diameter drilling of kimberlite AC63 is complete and the samples have been treated by the dedicated 10 tonne per hour Dense Media Separation ('DMS') plant. Results from the AC63 mini bulk drill samples will be announced as soon as picking of diamonds is complete and the associated data collated and interpreted. It is expected that the results will be published within the next two weeks.
A mini bulk drill sample was also extracted from kimberlite AC16, which is a low priority target in the kimberlite technical ranking. AC16 was used to commission and test the large diameter drill rig because of ease of access and the proximity of AC16 to logistics support. The results from the AC16 samples will be published at the same time as those for AC63.
BHP Billiton Joint Venture
The costs of exploration and associated activities at Alto Cuilo continue to be funded by BHP Billiton in accordance with the Alto Cuilo JV agreement. BHP Billiton's cumulative spend with regards to Alto Cuilo as at 31 April 2007 amounted to US$40.33 million. - Web Site

Wall Street closed narrowly mixed Monday after investors, uneasy about the government's upcoming inflation data, cashed in some of their gains from the market's months-long rally.
Blue chip stocks managed a modest increase following DaimlerChrysler AG's announcement that it will sell 80.1 percent of money-losing Chrysler Group to Cerberus Capital Management LP, a private equity group, for $7.4 billion.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by 7 to 4, on fractionally higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil was little changed in New York after stalling at a one-week high yesterday on speculation fuel prices may fall as refiners increase gasoline production to bolster summer stockpiles.
Copper fell in London on speculation that imports of the metal into China, the world's largest user, probably dropped last month as domestic stockpiles jumped.
Nickel and zinc also declined.
Gold and silver prices fell on speculation the euro's rally against the dollar will stall, reducing the appeal of the precious metals as alternative investments.
PRESS RELEASE
Vancouver - 14th May, 2007. New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") reports that the remaining results from the initial grade control program continued to define additional high grade gold within the confines of the southern oxide pit at Sinivit. The Sinivit project is in East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea, and NGG has an effective 92% interest.
Hole SGC0053, drilled on line 9846N, is particularly significant, with an intersection of 8m at 28.42g/t gold. In the resource estimate the original holes on section 9845N gave results of 4m at 9.41g/t gold, 2m at 1.03g/t gold, 4m at 1.8g/t gold and 5m at 2.65g/t gold. The new intersection compliments previously announced intersections on line 9840N of 12m at 25.66g/t gold and 10m at 9.l88g/t gold and confirms that the grade control drilling has intersected a high grade gold zone which was not defined in the original resource drilling (see www.newguineagold.ca for resource sections).
The drilling program, in total, covered a strike length of approximately 100m and included 68 reverse circulation (RC) holes each drilled to 30m depth and sampled at 2m intervals.
The RC drill has been stood down for the past month due to mechanical problems. These have been rectified and a second program to the north of this present program will commence in the near future.
Diamond core drilling has commenced to test the deeper limits of the proposed central oxide pit. The first hole has been completed, sampled and dispatched to the assay laboratory..........

COURT RULING SOUGHT ON BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE CLAIM
The Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV") participants, comprising a number of Beaconsfield Gold group companies, are continuing to pursue a claim under their business interruption insurance policy following the 25 April 2006 incident and the temporary closure of the Beaconsfield Mine. The policy has a one month excess and is capped at $50 million.
To date the insurer has refused to indemnify the BMJV participants in respect of their loss resulting from the mine closure. Therefore the Beaconsfield Gold group has today filed a claim in the Supreme Court of Victoria claiming damages of $45.5 million arising from the insurer's refusal to provide indemnity in breach of the terms of the policy.

Icon Energy Limited jointly announces the signing of a Letter of Intent with PetroSun Inc (OTC:PSUD>PK) to purchase an equity interest in PetroSun's Bio Fuel technology Licence for the Australasian region.
Icon Energy Limited has signed a Letter of Intent with PetroSun Inc of Arizona USA, to acquire a 20.00% interest in a Licence to produce bio diesel from algae feedstock. Full rights under the Licence will be provided to Icon and its entity for the Australian region for the exchange of 20,000,000 ordinary shares and 5,000,000 options to be exercised at 5 cents per share within two years and 55% of the ordinary shares in Icon Drilling Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Icon Energy Limited. The purpose of the transaction is to create a publicly traded alternative fuel company in Australia. The parties have agreed to amend the name of Icon Drilling to PetroSun BioFuels Proprietary, Limited. The Letter of Intent allows a period of due diligence to be conducted up to June 30 2007 and is subject to documentation and final Board approval of all parties to the agreement.
PetroSun, Incorporated will be issued fifty-five percent of PetroSun BioFuels Pty. Ltd common shares, with Icon Energy retaining a twenty percent interest. A capital raising will be conducted through an offering that will include up to twenty-five percent of the common shares of the new entity.
PetroSun BioFuels Australasia will be issued the exclusive licence agreement for the Australasia market by PetroSun. The rights granted under this agreement included the technology to cultivate algae on a commercial scale and refine the extracted algal oil into biodiesel. Several innovative patents are part of this Licence. The Company will also be producing high protein animal feed from the algal biomass, ethanol and potential excess electricity as additional revenue streams from plant operations. The production process will also have a beneficial affect to the environment as algae consume carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight. The source of the carbon dioxide can come from power plant emissions that would create carbon credits.
The licensor advises that independent studies have demonstrated that algae are capable of producing oil yields in excess of 55,000 kilograms per hectare annually. The annual oil yield per hectare from conventional crops such as palm oil (5,000), peanuts (890), rapeseed and sunflower (675), soybean (450) and corn oil and cottonseed (225) are far less than algae. The worldwide cost of diesel has increased dramatically during the past few years as a result of higher crude oil prices and refining cost increases. Biodiesel produced from algae offers an alternative that is not subject to commodity risks as is crude oil, corn and soybeans and is capable of supplying a sustainable feedstock......

Proposed Toronto Stock Exchange Listing
Company personnel recently completed a "road show" in North America, visiting prominent institutional investors and corporate capital market groups in Toronto and New York. The visit was so successful that MDL has engaged the experienced Ontario legal firm Cassels Brock & Blackwell, based in Toronto, Canada, to assist the company to work towards a full listing of MDL on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). The TSX offers the largest concentration of listed mining companies in the world.
On completion, the proposed TSX listing will result in a dual listing as MDL will remain quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange. All existing shareholders will therefore be able to trade shares in Australia as they have done in the past.
The company believes that investors active in the Canadian market will embrace MDL's gold and zircon development projects in Senegal, west Africa as they advance to production and so provide the opportunity to add value for all stakeholders.
All shareholders will be notified of the timetable to achieve an MDL listing on the TSX once the required application documentation has been reviewed in Canada. - Web Site

DRILLING COMMENCES AT MT GIBSON
Prosperity Resources Limited (ASX: PSP) are pleased to announce that aircore drilling has commenced at Mt Gibson South (PSP 100%). The programme is to identify the geology of a large aeromagnetic target, thought to be evidence of a remnant 'greenstone' belt in a region where strong structural complexity has been recognised.
Prosperity Resources Ltd's Managing Director, Mr Ric Dawson said " There hasn't been any historical drilling in the near vicity of this newly identified potential 'greenstone' belt. Previously the area was considered as granites under a veneer of soil cover but subsequent aeromagnetic surveys have identified magnetic anomalies which appear to indicate a 'greenstone' belt." - Web Site

Na Sanun-4 Appraisal Well
The Na Sanun-4 appraisal well, located approximately midway between Na Sanun-1 and Na Sanun- 3, has penetrated the top of the first of 5 potential volcanic reservoir intervals at a depth of approximately 952 metres. Within the top 5 metres of this volcanic interval, severe lost circulation was encountered indicating a highly fractured reservoir. Significant quantities of crude oil have been recovered at the surface due to the reduction of the mud weight as a result of gas influx into the well and "gas cutting" of the drilling mud. After initially regaining circulation control, severe mud losses were once again encountered whilst drilling down to 993 metres.
Due to the severity of the lost circulation the operator is assessing the forward programme with the setting casing and immediately testing the well...... - Web Site

Accelerated activity starts this week on Nickel Sulphide discovery at Bulong South, WA
Ultra-detailed airborne magnetic surveys commence this week to cover Southern Gold's expanded 100% holding in the Blair/Bulong region. The surveys are to be conducted by UTS at 25-50m line spacing.
Targeted ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys will then be used to map prospective sulphide horizons delineated by Southern Gold's previous drilling information and the new detailed magnetics to be acquired. Down hole EM surveys identified conductors associated with the nickel sulphide mineralisation during the previous phase of drilling.
Comprehensive reverse circulation (RC) drilling is then scheduled for July. The drilling is focussed on extending the nickel sulphide intersections in the previous program and complemented by the aforementioned geophysics. The initial drill plan is likely to be increased to include targets generated by the upcoming geophysical program on Southern Gold's expanded tenure...... - Web Site

Uranium Update
Thor Mining PLC (AIM & ASX: THR), the mineral exploration and development company focussing on molybdenum, tungsten and uranium assets based in the Northern Territory of Australia, announces that air core drilling will commence on the 13th of May at its 100% owned Hale River Project. The Central Land Council and representatives of the traditional people of the area were on site on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Thor has today received verbal approval for approximately 90% of all drilling sites. The Mining Management Plan for the initial work programme has also been approved by the DPIFM.
The final report on the Hale River Hoist EM interpretation from the Company's consultants resulted in six prospective areas being identified along south easterly striking palaeo-channels, with depth to basement estimated between 45m and 130m. These channels also contain irregular flat conductive carbonaceous sedimentary units, which are an important component for the localisation of secondary uranium mineralisation (see fig1).
Orbit Drilling Pty Ltd have been contracted to complete the 47 hole, 3,000m air core drilling programme. Drilling results should be available in approximately six weeks.
Approvals have also been sought for drilling on the Plenty River Project, located to the north east of Hale River. - Web Site
