Wall Street rose in a quiet session Friday as investors adjusted positions ahead of a long holiday weekend and tried to determine whether a lackluster week presaged a departure from the market's months-long run-up or merely a temporary pause.
Investors showed little reaction to the National Association of Realtors' report that sales of existing homes fell 2.6 percent in April to 5.99 million units, the slowest sales rate in almost four years.
For the week, the Dow industrials lost 0.36 percent, the S&P 500 gave up 0.46 percent and the Nasdaq slipped 0.05 percent.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by more than 2 to 1, on lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Copper in New York rose the most in two months after stockpiles in Shanghai dropped, signaling a pickup in Chinese demand and easing concern that the world's biggest consumer was oversupplied.
Nickel gained the most in four weeks in London after production from the Voisey's Bay mill in Canada was shut because of a dispute over safety.
Lead pared gains after rising to a record. Gains came after LME-monitored inventories dropped 1,025 tons, or 2.1 percent, to 46,900 tons. That brought the total decline in the past 12 months to 57 percent.
Gold rebounded from a two-month low as the euro strengthened against the dollar, increasing the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also rose.

KAOLIN SALES UPDATE
Further to our ASX Announcement of 18 April 2007 we have since this date concluded 9 new supply agreements in our target market of medium sized good margin users which will bring initial sales revenues of $2.3 million in the first year and strong growth anticipated thereafter on these accounts.
Since April, we have also concluded agreements with a number of additional smaller customers who typically use less than 100 tonnes per year but buy at premium margins. We are in continued negotiations with some potential larger volume users where test results have already been approved in recent months. Further updates will be advised once these supply agreements are formally concluded.
The Company is pleased that in recent months the pace of new sales in our preferred target markets has quickened following a period of about 9 months in the testing phase with these larger companies. The sales team is currently very much focussed on these larger users having previously established a good customer base and satisfactory track record with smaller companies. - Web Site

PHOENIX PROSPECT-MCKENZIE COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA: Well Proposal
As has been reported in past releases, Sundance has been anticipating that its first well in this prospect would spud sometime early in 2008, following a conclusion to its ongoing leasing program. The Company is pleased to announce, however, that an exploration well has been proposed for drilling in this prospect; and, that well is set to spud shortly.
Helis Oil & Gas Company has announced its intention to spud a horizontal Bakken well in the play during the next two to three weeks. The Company will have a working interest of approximately 3.28% in this well, which is in keeping with its overall risk mitigation strategy of participating in low interest wells at the initiation of a prospect's development program. The well will be sited immediately adjacent to sections in which Sundance is the majority mineral rights owner. As a result, the outcome of this well may prompt an acceleration of the Company's contemplated drilling program, and, in any event, will greatly assist it in evaluating future drill sites and appropriate techniques to maximize well performance..... - Web Site
High-Interest Meyer Trust and Harden Wells Come On Strong Eight Rigs Currently Drilling in the Ashland Prospect
Sundance Energy Australia Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce that natural gas production from its Ashland Prospect in Oklahoma continues to materially increase.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Sundance Energy, Inc., is presently producing gas from 19 wells in its Ashland Prospect; there are an additional six wells in the latter stages of completion. And, eight drilling rigs are currently working on the Company's properties there.
Of particular significance are two wells which have recently been put into production, the Meyer Trust 1-13H and the Harden 1-20H; both are considered particularly high impact wells because of their significant initial flow rates and the Company's high Working Interest ("WI") and Net Revenue Interest ("NRI") in each (see below). NRI is based on the Company's WI less applicable royalties.
Sundance owns a 29.21% WI/23.37% NRI in the Meyer Trust. On 27 April, this well went down line with first gas sales at a rate of 2,400 Mcfpd with 56% of the frac fluid recovered. On 16 May, the well was producing at a rate of 3,500 Mcfpd with 79% of the fluid recovered. This well is projected to produce approximately 85,000 Mcf in its first 30 days of production. Based on this initial rate of production and a typical decline curve, the Company projects the Meyer Trust 1-13H paying out in approximately 18 months. The productive life of a typical horizontal Woodford shale well is expected to exceed 30 years. ..... - Web Site

LionOre's Board of Directors has reviewed the increased Norilsk Nickel offer in consultation with its financial and legal advisors and in the context of its obligations under its existing Support Agreement with Xstrata plc dated March 25, 2007, as amended.

Pursuant to the Support Agreement, Xstrata is now entitled, on or prior to June 1, 2007, to exercise its matching right and further increase the current Xstrata offer.
The current Xstrata offer expires on May 25, 2007, unless extended. The increased Norilsk Nickel offer is open for acceptance until June 18, 2007.

Wall Street retreated Thursday after housing data showed sales surged in April by the largest amount in 14 years and damped hopes that an interest rate cut would be needed to stimulate the economy. Investors were originally enthusiastic after the Commerce Department reported sales of single-family homes rose 16.2 percent last month after falling slightly in March. Even though the report indicated that the economy continues to expand, investors became unnerved by a record drop in home prices.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 4-to-1, on increased volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil plunged in New York because of refinery shutdowns that may increase the glut of oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point used for benchmark futures. Prices rose in London.
Copper futures fell sharply Thursday in technically oriented trading, with some of the decline blamed on nervousness about weekly copper inventory data due out of China on Friday, analysts said.
Gold fell to a two-month low in New York as a gain in the value of the dollar reduced demand for the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also dropped.

Drakea Exploration Well Update
Spud Date: 06:00 hrs WST 11 May 2007
Present Depth: 2556 mRT MD
Time of Reporting: 06:00 hrs, WST 24 May 2007
Operations Since Last Report: Drill ahead to 2556m RT MD
Current Operations: Drilling ahead in the Irwin River Coal Measures
Hydrocarbon indications: Elevated mud gas measurements and intermittent cut and fluorescence
Participants in the well: ARC Energy Limited - 50% (Operator) Origin Energy Developments Pty Ltd - 50%
Comment: The well intersected the base Kockatea marker (ie the base of the regional seal) at a depth of 2112m MD, essentially on prognosis. From 2163m MD to 2556m MD the well has encountered elevated mud gas and intermittent oil shows in a section dominated by shales but with sandier intervals in the Carynginia Formation and the Irwin River Coal Measures. The significance of these hydrocarbon indications will be fully evaluated once the well has reached total depth. - Web Site

EXPLORATION UPDATE: CUIABA GOLD PROJECT - TANQUE BELO
Ashburton Minerals is pleased to advise the results of the latest round of a geochemical survey over the Tanque Belo prospect within the Company's Cuiaba Gold Project in Brazil.
Following the second phase of follow up sampling, an extensive gold-in-soil anomaly has been defined at the Tanque Belo prospect.
The 50 ppb Au contour outlines an anomalous zone in excess of 1.5 km in length and up to 800 m in width. The anomaly is open along strike to the south.
Several higher order 100 ppb Au internal anomalies exist within this zone, with the largest being over 1.0 km long and up to 200 m wide, with a peak value of 15.05 g/t (15,050 ppb) occurring on the southernmost line. This anomaly is also open to the south.
Sampling over an additional three lines to the south is currently under way to test the extension of the anomaly over a further 600 m.
In parallel, drilling of the Tanque Belo anomaly is scheduled to commence next week, initially via three fences of angled RAB (rotary air blast) holes to a nominal depth of 60 m to 80 m..... - Web Site

Successful Initial Test Work on Dikoloti Nickel Resource for Discovery Metals Limited
Discovery Metals Limited (ASX & BSE : DML) has received initial results from bio-oxidation test work on the Dikoloti Nickel Resource in north-east Botswana. These tests are examining the suitability of using a bio-oxidation heap leach process to extract the nickel and copper from the Dikoloti nickel mineralisation. The initial tests are positive in that the nickel mineralisation has proven to be very amenable to bio-oxidation and high nickel recoveries have been obtained. A 2m column test is currently underway and the results will be available in approximately 2 months. DML is optimistic about the final outcome of these tests. The implementation of bio-oxidation processing at Dikoloti has the potential to generate $100M p.a. in revenue for DML at current metal prices. - Web Site

Rapu Rapu Project Update
First Bulk Shipments of Copper and Zinc Concentrates
The loading of the first two bulk shipments of copper and zinc concentrates, produced by the Rapu Rapu Poly-metallic Project, has been successfully completed using the recently repaired concentrate out-loading facilities.
Approximately 3,400 wet metric tonnes of copper concentrate (which also included payable quantities of gold and silver) and 5,000 wet metric tonnes of zinc concentrate were shipped to smelters located in China and Korea respectively, under the long term off-take agreement with LG International.
These bulk shipments follow three smaller shipments of bagged concentrate earlier this year, while damage to the Project caused by super-typhoon Reming was being repaired.
During the course of the recent bulk concentrate out-loading operation, a number of potential minor modifications to the facility were identified that could significantly improve loading efficiency. These modifications will be evaluated and implemented in coming months.
Exploration Update
On 15 May 2007, the drilling of the first exploration drill hole, of a 7 diamond drill hole programme, was commenced by the Project's drilling contractor. Hole UMW 001 is located 150 metres from the western end of the Ungay open pit and is targeting an interpreted extension along strike of the mineralisation currently being mined.
On 23 May 2007, Hole UMW 001 intersected massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralisation in accordance with interpreted extension which is typical of exposures in the Ungay mine. The mineralisation was intersected from 113.5 metres to 124 metres consisting of massive and semi-massive sulphides as well as waste intercalations consistent with exposures in the open pit. Hole UMW001 drilling is continuing with the expectation that the interpreted occurrence will be re-intersected at depth.
An airborne geophysical survey of Lafayette's substantial tenement holding on Rapu Rapu Island, targeting repeats of the Ungay ore body, is expected to be completed by the end of July 2007.
Following completion of the 7 hole Ungay western extension drilling programme and the airborne geophysical survey, either a follow up drilling programme of Ungay West or a further drilling programme targeting other high priority targets is planned. - Web Site

The Minotaur-Helix joint venture will investigate development options for a new Gawler Craton gold mine in South Australia following latest drill results that have significantly increased the JORC compliant resource for the Tunkillia deposit.
Minotaur Exploration, which as operator is earning a 51% interest in the Tunkillia project from tenement holder Helix Resources, said today that expanded drilling campaigns during 2006 and 2007 had led to an upgraded JORC resource of 800,000 ounces of gold and 1.6 million ounces of silver.
The new mineralisation inventory is to a depth of 200 metres below ground level for Area 223 within the Tunkillia project, 700 kilometres north west of Adelaide.
Area 223 has a mineralisation inventory of 800,000 ounces gold and 1,600,000 ounces silver, to a depth of 200 metres below ground level and comprising:

High Grade Results - Zed Lode - Prairie Downs Zinc Project
Prairie Downs Metals Ltd has received assay results for RC drill holes PDP171, 172 & 173 for its 2007 drill program at the Prairie Downs Zinc Project. High grade results and excellent widths continue to impress, with RC drill hole PDP171 returning 6 metres at 8.5% zinc, 8.6% lead and 41.8g/t silver. Drill hole PDP172 returned 5 metres at 10.5% zinc, 7.9% lead and 35.4g/t silver.
These drill holes are located down dip of PDP168 and 169, for which results were released on 8 May 2007, and are shown in cross section 19620mE below. All significant intersections for Zed Lode are detailed below.
To put this into perspective, the existing resource of 1 million tonnes is primarily hosted by Main Lode (which is evidently misnamed) and has a grade of 8.3% zinc, 1.7% lead and 22g/t silver, with an average intersection width of 4.3 metres. Zed Lode is consistently of higher tenor.
These results also bode well for underground mining. The Company has been advised that the Prairie Downs mineralisation is amenable to mechanized underground mining down to a width of 1.5 metres at 3.5% zinc.
A total of 27 RC holes (including diamond pre-collars) for 4501 metres have been completed in this program. Five diamond holes have also been drilled for approximately 500 metres with a further four diamond holes planned. This is expected to be completed by the end of May, with both RC and diamond drilling expected to recommence in July. Significant results will be released as they come to hand, with all results expected to be available by the end of June.
Where assay results are not yet available, visually recorded zinc mineralisation is extensive in RC and diamond drilling, both within Zed Lode and in the underlying Gabbro Lode.
Zed Lode remains open in all directions and appears to be strengthening in tenor to the west of section 19620mE. It is most encouraging that Gabbro Lode has also been intersected beneath Zed Lode to the east of 19620mE...... - Web Site

Project Update - Raven ready to drill & 3D seismic recorded
Raven Project
The site of the first Raven well named the Spinks- Middlebrooks #11-1 has been cleared and is ready for the drilling rig. In the past week we have experienced a lot of rain in northern Louisiana and the site must dry out before moving onto location. The water well is scheduled to be drilled and conductor set next week. We are expecting to spud this well ahead of schedule in the first week of June.
The target depth of the well is approximately 10,000 feet and will test the "C" and "Price" sands of the Cotton Valley formation. Prospective reserves for this well are 5Bcf based on analogue well production data and known permeabilities in the immediate area. Pryme has a 40% working interest (30% Net Revenue Interest) ownership in the project. The well should take about three weeks to drill. Nelson Energy has extensive experience drilling Cotton Valley wells over the past two decades.

POTENTIAL MAJOR GOLD DEVELOPMENT AT RED DOME
The directors of Kagara Zinc Ltd are pleased to advise shareholders that initial extension drilling of the high grade Red Dome gold-copper-silver-molybdenum poryhyry deposit has considerably enhanced the probability of a major gold development centred on Mungana and Red Dome.
Two holes have now been completed with a third hole 939 nearing completion. Hole 936 returned assay results of 62.00 metres grading 1.08 grams per tonne gold and 0.1 percent copper including 33.00 metres grading 1.78 grams per tonne gold, 0.3 percent copper and 8 grams per tonne silver in the Main Zone (see attached cross section and longitudinal section) and 23.70 metres grading 0.61 grams per tonne gold, 0.4 percent copper and 17 grams per tonne silver in the Upper Zone. Diamond drill hole 937, drilled 475m vertically beneath hole 936 returned 36.70 metres grading 2.40 grams per tonne gold and 0.1 percent copper including 13.30 metres grading 5.48 grams per tonne gold and 0.1 percent copper in the Main Zone.
The Upper Zone mineralization in hole 936 is awaiting assay. A sixteen metre wide molybdenum rich Upper Zone which is expected to assay between 0.05 - 0.10 percent molybdenum, has been intersected in hole 939 and occurs as disseminated molybdenite in skarnified chert.
The grade of these intersections compare very favourably with Newcrest Mining's highly profitable Ridgeway deposit, which currently produces gold at a cash cost of negative A$271 per ounce after copper credits. The dimensions of the Red Dome deposit lends itself to similar bulk underground extraction and every effort will now be made to fast track its development. This will involve extending the current drilling program to quantify the extent and relationship of the gold, copper and molybdenum rich zones within the Red Dome deposit which remains open to the north west and at depth..... - Web Site

Stocks eased Wednesday as comments from former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and worries about upcoming economic data deflated a rally fed by takeover activity.
Stocks initially rose, lifting the Dow Jones industrials briefly above 13,600 for the first time, after the market got a fresh load of deal-related news that included a possible bidding battle over aluminum producer Alcan Inc. But the excitement waned after a media report that Greenspan expressed concern that China's stock market - which has recently been hitting record highs - could eventually see a sharp decline.
Chinese stocks swelled to a record for the third straight session Wednesday on optimism over reports the government may triple quotas for foreign investment in local bourses.
Giving stocks an early lift was news that Alcoa Inc.'s $27.6 billion hostile bid for rival Alcan was rebuffed, and a Canadian media report that Australian mining giant BHP Billiton Ltd. might make its own offer.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 10 to 7, on increased volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil rose on skepticism that U.S. refineries can produce enough gasoline to keep up with increasing consumption of the motor fuel.
Gold and silver prices in New York rose as a decline in the value of the dollar boosted the appeal of the precious metals as alternative investments.
Nickel prices fell 4.1 per cent on the LME overnight after a further rise in stockpiles to a five-month high, dragging other metals lower.
In New York, copper futures were slightly softer much of Wednesday along with other base metals, before recouping most of their losses into the close of a session described as one of mainly consolidation.

Hillgrove Resources Limited (ASX:HGO) advises that a strong IP conductor has been identified from the latest geophysical survey conducted over the fully-owned Wheal Ellen Zinc Prospect, within the highly prospective Angas/Kanmantoo mine corridor in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. The polymetallic potential of this corridor has been recently highlighted with the development decision for the high grade Angas polymetallic mine at Strathalbyn.
Drill testing of this new anomaly is scheduled to commence in June.
Commenting on the results, Hillgrove's Managing Director Mr. David Archer said, "This strong conductor, plus the recent excellent assay results matched with the production history of the old Wheal Elllen Mine, marks this as a stand out drill opportunity for the potential discovery of a high grade polymetallic deposit much like Angas".
The most positive aspect of the survey was the discovery of a strong IP conductor identified at depth on the northern line, which is thought to be the down plunge location of the main Wheal Ellen ore body. This anomaly appears to be related to the silverlead- zinc mineralisation present at Wheal Ellen and suggests the potential for a significant new discovery.
The survey comprised two dipole-dipole IP lines and a down hole mise a la masse survey. The primary aim of the survey was to identify a plunge direction for the high grade shoots present. The initial assessment of these results along with previous drilling results supports the view that the Wheal Ellen lodes extend further to the south than originally thought and there appears to be a northerly plunge to the lodes.
The lode extensions are clearly illustrated in Figure 1 underlining the pseudo section for the two dipole-dipole lines in 3D...... - Web Site

Drilling Report (Juha 4ST1, Kutubu 2, Al Magrabah-1, Rana-1)
WELL NAME: Juha 4ST1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 24 May 2007, the Juha 4ST1 well was at a depth of 967 metres and drilling ahead in a 14-3/4" hole.
During the week, the Juha 4 well was plugged back and a sidetrack kicked off at a depth of 938 metres. Progress for the week in Juha 4ST1 was 29 metres.
Juha 4ST1 is located 35 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. Juha 4 is designed to test a separate segment on the structure to the east of the existing wells. It follows on from the Juha 5 well which was drilled in the same segment as the earlier wells.
Juha 4 is targeting the Toro reservoir at a depth of around 2,240 metres subsea, 3,200 metres measured depth (MD). The planned total depth of the well is 3,340 metres MD.
WELL NAME: Kutubu 2
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 24 May 2007, the Kutubu 2 well was at a depth of 1,750 metres and preparing to run logs and set a 5" liner prior to drilling into the primary objective. Progress for the week was 79 metres.
Kutubu 2 is located in PPL 219, and is 18 kilometres east of the main Iagifu-Hedinia field, and 12 kilometres east of the Arakubi prospect. The primary objective is the Toro Sandstone with a secondary target in the Iagifu Sandstone. The planned total depth of the well is 2,300 metres MD.

Resource Upgrade in Ghana - Ayanfuri Gold Project
Perseus Mining Limited (ASX: PRU) is pleased to announce a resource increase to 1.36Moz, for its Ayanfuri Gold Project in Ghana after upgrades were announced for two of seven identified gold deposits on the project.
The upgrade for the Esuajah North and Esuajah South deposits will be followed by new resource estimates for three more of the Ayanfuri deposits in June and two more in July and August.
Total Indicated and Inferred resources at Esuajah North and Esuajah South have increased by 753,000 ounces to 1,061,000 ounces of contained gold, a 240 percent increase.
"We are very pleased with these results, it means that we are on target to announce in excess of three million ounces of gold resources for the Ayanfuri project by the end of this year," according to Mark Calderwood, Perseus's Managing Director.
"It is going to be a busy few months as we continue to receive new resource estimates and drilling results from the other deposits within the Ayanfuri project.
"We have also planned more drilling for the Esuajah South deposit over the coming months and this is expected to lead to a further upgrade for that deposit later in the year," Mr Calderwood said.
This 24 percent increase in the resources for the two deposits takes Perseus's total gold resources on its Ghana projects to 2.18 million ounces.
Indicated contained gold resources for the two deposits now stand at 347,600 ounces comprising:
Inferred contained gold resources for the two deposits now stand at 713,600 ounces comprising:

Apex to take strategic stake in Maximus Resources through restructure of Narndee JV interests
Simplification of complex Narndee JV ownership to expedite Maximus' nickel sulphide and uranium exploration programs
Apex Minerals NL (ASX: AXM) advises that it has reached agreement with Maximus Resources and other parties to restructure its residual minority interests (diluting to 15%) in various tenements in which Maximus Resources (Maximus) is earning a 70% interest under the terms of the Narndee Joint Venture. Under the terms of the restructure, Apex will receive 1.5 million shares and 1 million options in Maximus. This transaction will increase Apex's stake in Maximus to 3.5 million shares and 2 million options, and is subject to the approval of Maximus' shareholders.
The transaction will simplify the complex ownership structure of the tenement package and streamline the management of the Narndee project, enabling Maximus to expedite its nickel sulphide and uranium exploration programs and providing Apex with exposure to this via its shareholding in Maximus.
The Narndee layered intrusions are considered highly prospective for nickel-copper-PGE deposits of the class which includes the Voisey's Bay and Sally Malay deposits. In this regard, two electromagnetic (EM) conductors recently identified in the Milgoo area, represent high quality nickel sulphide targets. The most prominent conductor has been modelled as an 850m long body with a down dip extent of 300 metres, and the second conductor is some 300m long. Both are located in areas of poor outcrop, and in the vicinity of anomalous nickel and PGE intersections obtained in previous drilling, which includes 8m @ 0.5% nickel in sulphide bearing ultramafic. - Web Site

Wall Street ended an erratic session little changed Tuesday as investors upbeat about the latest round of takeover activity remained hesitant to take the market higher ahead of new economic data. While stocks moved sideways, Treasury yields rose to a three-month high, in part because of a flood of corporate bonds in the market.
Advancing issues outpaced decliners by a 9 to 7, on substantially lower volume, margin on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil was little changed in New York after falling the most in six weeks yesterday as an expected rise in U.S. fuel stockpiles dragged gasoline futures to a one- week low.
Copper futures fell to the lowest in seven weeks in New York on speculation that demand may slow in China, the world's biggest consumer of the metal used in pipes and wires.
Gold and silver prices fell in New York on speculation a decline in the value of the euro against the dollar will reduce the appeal of precious metals as a hedge against a weaker U.S. currency.
$5.18 MILLION SHARE PLACEMENT
Beaconsfield Gold has finalised the placement of 14.4 million new shares to sophisticated and professional investors at a price of 36 cents per share, raising a total of $5.18 million.
The shares have been issued in accordance with an approval provided by shareholders at a general meeting held on 10 January 2007, and subsequently extended by the ASX until 10 June 2007 as previously announced. The approval was for the placement of up to 60 million shares to sophisticated and professional investors to increase the Company's beneficial interest in the Beaconsfield Mine. The placement funds will position the Beaconsfield Gold group to be able to restructure the financial liabilities, particularly gold hedging, of the Allstate companies which became subsidiaries of Beaconsfield Gold on 30 April 2007.
The Company is also currently raising funds at 34 cents per share through a Share Placement Plan which is open to all Beaconsfield Gold shareholders registered on 3 May 2007 and which closes on 25 May 2007. These funds will add to working capital and allow the acceleration of Beaconsfield Gold's exploration programs at the Beaconsfield Mine in Tasmania and at Stavely in western Victoria.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD TAKES 15% PLACEMENT IN PANAEGIS
Beaconsfield Gold (ASX: BCD) announces that it has taken a strategic placement of 10.5 million fully paid ordinary shares in Panaegis Gold Mines Limited (ASX: PAU), equal to 15% of Panaegis's issued shares before the placement. At 9.0 cents per share, the total cost of the placement was $945,000.
Panaegis listed on the ASX in June 2006 with interests in around 1,200 sq km of exploration tenements in central Victoria, focussing on sediment-hosted, sulphide-associated, finely disseminated gold deposits. Based on encouraging results at the Nagambie property since listing, additional tenements have been acquired to the west of Nagambie so that Panaegis now has interests in over 2,000 sq km of tenements, predominantly held 100%.
These types of gold deposits are typically large tonnage, lower grade deposits amenable to resource drilling and low cost per tonne mining. Oxide deposits can be treated conventionally while primary sulphide deposits are usually refractory, which has prevented their exploitation in the past. Beaconsfield Gold has extensive experience in treating refractory gold ore at the Beaconsfield Mine in northern Tasmania and will assist Panaegis in the testing of its refractory deposits and also the possible treatment of high grade Panaegis concentrates at Beaconsfield.
In addition to its pure gold properties, Panaegis has 100% of the Heathcote property which is prospective for gold, base metals and nickel associated with a belt of Cambrian volcanics. Beaconsfield Gold is currently conducting extensive exploration at its 100% owned Stavely property in western Victoria which, like Heathcote, has similarities to the Mt Read volcanics in western Tasmania.
It is anticipated that Beaconsfield Gold and Panaegis will liaise regularly on geological concepts and exploration methods.
The Chairman of Beaconsfield Gold, Dr Denis Clarke, said: "We see considerable synergy in the exploration efforts of Panaegis and Beaconsfield Gold. Together with Stavely, Beaconsfield Gold now has a strategic interest in over 3,200 sq km of exciting exploration tenements in Victoria which can be funded long term from the cash flow generated by the Beaconsfield Mine in Tasmania. We will of course continue to carry out major drilling programs seeking depth extensions and repetitions of the two million ounce Tasmania Reef at Beaconsfield."

SABODALA EAST FLAT ZONE EXTENDS 210 METRES - STILL OPEN
The company is pleased to provide an update on recent high grade gold intersections from the ongoing drilling programme on the East Flat Zone at the proposed Sabodala open pit in Senegal, west Africa.
The preliminary open pit design indicates 1.01 million ounces of mineable reserves but the new East Flat Zone will extend the known reserves. All significant gold intersections from the East Flat Zone are shown in the attached Table 1. They demonstrate that mineralisation extends some 210 metres east beyond the current open pit design limits and the zone remains open to the east, north and south (see open pit plan below).
The majority of the intersections lie between 60 and 110 metres vertically below the natural surface.
To date, the East Flat Zone averages eight metres grading at least 4g/t. Select intersections include:

WESTERN GAWLER PROJECT UPDATE
Deep Yellow Ltd / Dominion Mining Ltd - Western Gawler Project
The Directors of Deep Yellow Limited (DYL) have resolved to issue 21,931,651 fully paid ordinary shares in DYL to Dominion Mining Ltd (DOM) in order to acquire a 51% interest in the uranium rights to the Western Gawler Tenements subject to the Western Gawler Uranium Exploration and Development Project (the Project) Heads of Agreement between DYL and DOM (ASX 22 February, 2006).
The interpretation of data from an Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) survey over the tenements confirmed the presence of extensive palaeochannel systems previously interpreted from remote sensed satellite data and regional mapping by the South Australian Geological Survey. Importantly the AEM data provides detail information on channel meanders (potential uranium deposition sites) and an estimate of channel depths.
DYL is planning to undertake a minimum 12,000 metre RAB/Aircore drill programme on 1 to 2 kilometre spaced traverses across these channel systems. The drilling will initially target the delineation of preferred host lithologies and the presence of redox fronts. Plans showing the areas to be drilled have been submitted for clearance by the traditional Aboriginal owners under DOM's access Agreement. A drill rig has been secured and drilling is scheduled to commence during June/July pending clearances. ..... - Web Site

GOLD RESOURCE EXTENSION DRILLING & TESTWORK UPDATE
Reed Resources Ltd (ASX:RDR) is pleased to announce additional high grade gold drill results which extend the strike of the Princess Grace resource (130,000t @ 2.5g/t Au for 10,300oz gold) at its Comet Vale Project, 100km North of Kalgoorlie. Reed believes that the Princess Grace could be exploited by shallow conventional open pit mining along with the adjacent Sand Prince West and Northern lode (121,000 t @ 2.39 g/t Au for 9,300 oz gold using a 1g/t cut-off).
Recent drill results include 5m @ 9.39g/t Au from 5m, 6m @ 3.5g/t Au from 28m, 6m @ 3.27g/t Au from 29m and 7m @ 2.61g/t Au from 3m and extend the strike to 250m. These intercepts are within fresh rock with minimal weathering within the profile (Figure 1). Importantly, the interpreted controlling structure (the Princess Grace thrust) remains untested over a further ~2km of strike.
The gold mineralisation is within stacked quartz veins associated with intermediate porphyries similar to those seen within the Sand George deposit. It is Reed's belief that they could represent the top of a new major gold deposit similar to the Sand George lodes (360,000 t @ 12.0 g/t Au) that are currently being mined approximately 250m to the east.......- Web Site

VICTORIA PETROLEUM ON TRACK FOR STRONG 2007 GROWTH
Perth-based Victoria Petroleum NL (VicPet; ASX: VPE) has embarked on a 20-well drilling program in Australia and the USA over the next eight months. This schedule includes 14 domestic wells and six in Texas and Colorado.
VicPet has the largest exploration position in South Australia's and Queensland's Cooper Basin and is currently drilling at the Growler-2 Oil Field in the Cooper Basin where it hopes to build on earlier exploration success.
Managing director John Kopcheff believes VicPet is poised for growth and is undervalued when analysed in terms of its strong cash flow from oil production and its current drilling program. "Our Cooper Basin gross oil production is 250 barrels per day with a planned gross increase to 1000 barrels per day by the end of this year.
"We're also sharing in gross oil production of 3200 barrels per day in the North Perth Basin as well as 2 million cubic feet per day from the Magarita Gas Exploration and Production Project and the Flour Bluff Gas Field in Texas."
In South Australia, VicPet is the operator for the PEL 104 Joint Venture which is drilling the Growler-2 appraisal well on the Growler Oil field to test the 16 metre oil column discovered in the Jurassic Birkhead Formation in Growler-1. Growler-2 - now rain interrupted - will be drilled to a depth of 1,785 metres.
Mr Kopcheff said the results of Growler-2 together with Growler-1 and the adjacent Wirraway-1 oil discovery will determine the forward development strategy for the Growler-Wirraway Oil fields. "Following the production results for Growler-1 it appears that good oil producing rates can be achieved from the Birkhead sands in this area. If this is confirmed by results from Growler-2 it could lead to a large development drilling program of the same style as the successful Santos ‘Cooper Oil Project'."
VicPet's success at Growler and Wirraway maintains the company's 100 per cent exploration success rate in PEL 104 and confirms its belief that a new Jurassic "Oil Fairway" and oil production province could be present. "If oil is present it has the potential for an in-place reserve of up to 100+ million barrels within PEL 104 and our adjoining PEL 111 permit," said Mr Kopcheff. ..... - Web Site

Wall Street reached another milestone during a muted session Monday, when the Standard & Poor's 500 index briefly passed its record close of 1,527.46 for the first time in more than seven years. The S&P 500, considered by market professionals the best indicator of stock performance, surpassed the mark shortly after noon following news of a fresh spate of takeover deals. The broad market index has lagged the Dow Jones industrial average in recovering from Wall Street's prolonged slump earlier this decade.
The Dow retreated modestly after venturing further into record territory earlier in the day.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2, on substantially higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil rose above $66 a barrel in New York to its highest price in three weeks as refineries stepped up production of gasoline to meet increased demand for summer. Gasoline inventories rose to 195.2 million barrels the week ended May 11, the second consecutive weekly increase, according to a U.S. Energy Department report on May 16. The gain left supplies 7.5 percent below the five year average.
Copper futures in New York rose the most in month as global inventories of the metal used in pipes and wire declined to a seven-month low.
Goldman Sachs raised this year's price forecasts for aluminum, nickel and zinc.
Gold futures climbed Monday, overcoming strength in the U.S. dollar to follow oil prices higher and regain some lost ground, after a more than $10-an-ounce loss last week.
SHARE PLACEMENT
The Company is pleased to announce that it has reached agreements to place 16,000,000 shares to sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.08 per share, to raise $1,280,000.
Funds from this placement will be applied to working capital, RC and diamond core drilling, metallurgical test work, down hole surveying, geochemical sampling, assaying, updated resource modelling and estimation and initial pit design on the Company's Zinc Project at Kihabe in Botswana and on adjoining ground in Namibia.

NEW HIGH-GRADE VEIN-FLOAT FOUND ON TRENGGALEK PROJECT, EAST JAVA
Austindo Resources Corporation NL (ASX code: ARX) advises that new high-grade vein float has been identified at its Trenggalek Project in East Java, Republic of Indonesia.
The Company commenced work on this 17,586 hectare greenfields exploration tenement in the middle of 2006 and has since undertaken prospecting and mapping, mainly over the northern half of the tenement. The project area is underlain by prospective Oligocene- Miocene age volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The geological setting of this area is similar to that of the Company's Cibaliung mine development in Banten province on the western side of Java, but in contrast, the Trenggalek project area contains no history of gold mining.
Previous exploration of the area in the late 1990's by another company first revealed the presence of high-grade float, traced to narrow epithermal quartz vein outcrops found at the Kojan Prospect and the Buluroto/Sentul prospects, located on the western and southern sides of the current tenement area, respectively. The very encouraging results of our recent prospecting and vein-float sampling, highlighted below, have extended the distribution of known high-grade vein-float occurrences within the tenement area, and these may relate to currently unknown, multiple high-grade quartz vein sources.
The Kojan Prospect contains a series of sub-parallel quartz-chalcedony-sulphide veins, some of which are up to 2 m wide and with strike-lengths of up to 500 m or more. Recent grab sampling from old trench spoil and patchy outcrops on some of these veins has returned highgrade gold and silver results of up to 28.6 g/t Au and 1000 g/t Ag. Only one of the vein structures was drilled by a previous explorer, and this produced low results from three widely spaced and poorly placed holes.
Strongly mineralised vein float was discovered on a ridgeline located on the northern edge of a hydrothermal eruption breccia defining the Jati Prospect. Four separate grab samples returned gold results ranging from 8.8 to 28 g/t Au from angular banded quartz-chalcedony vein-float cobbles, varying in size from 10 to 35 cm diameter. These four high-grade gold results are distributed over about 200 m along the same ridge-line.
Silicified hydrothermal breccia and quartz-chalcedony-sulphide vein boulders were discovered along creeks draining the Jombok Prospect. The boulders show locally strong concentrations along several tributaries within the prospect area, are angular to subangular in shape, and range in size from about 30 cm to up to 2 m in diameter. These features are collectively interpreted to reflect a number of localised sources rather than significant transportation from a single source. Grab samples of this float have returned up to 45.8 g/t Au in banded vein boulders or in banded vein clasts selectively sampled from breccia boulders.
The Dalangturu Prospect, located northeast of these new high-grade vein-float occurrences, contains mineralised vein stockwork surrounding high-level exposures of silicified breccia caprock and silica sinters. Selective chip sampling of narrow veins (<0.1 - 30 cm wide) within the stockwork has returned gold results ranging from less than 1 to up to 12.7 g/t Au. No gold but up to 2 ppm Hg (mercury) and 160 ppm Sb (antimony) have been returned from the silicified breccia caprock and silica sinters.
Work completed to-date on the Trenggalek Project has been largely of a reconnaissance nature and focussed on expanding the known potential of the tenement area. The potential for discovering multiple deposits of high-grade epithermal-style gold mineralisation is demonstrated by the recent discovery of more high-grade vein-float. Furthermore, the recognition of hydrothermal eruption breccias and silica sinters in some of these prospect areas suggests a probably high-level of preservation, or low-level of erosion, of mineralised vein systems in the northern part of project area.......

HOA SECURED ATTIPTON WEST
ARROW Energy N.L. has announced revised gas sale arrangements from the lipton West field for additional gas sales to Braemar Power Partners (BPP).
The Tipton West Joint Venture TWJV, made up of Arrow Energy (60 per cent) and Beach Petroleum (40 per cent) has executed a conditional Heads of Agreement with BPP to increase the firm supply of gas under the existing gas sale agreement with BPP from six pj per annum to 10 pj per annum for 15 years. The TWJV also has additional gas put option arrangements with BPP which will allow the TWJV (at its election) to supply up to a further 7.3 pj per annum to BPP.
The parties were expected to finalise amendments to the existing gas sale agreement to reflect the increased volumes by the end of April. The TWJV commenced gas supply to BPP's 450 mw gas fired power station in early February.
Arrow said this increase in firm gas sales to BPP (60 pj) effectively replaces the conditional gas sale agreement with Ergon Energy (58.5 pj) which will now not proceed following the Queensland Government's sale of the retail business of Ergon. The additional firm gas sales to BPP will require no new capital expenditure or infrastructure and will deliver sales revenue earlier than would otherwise have been the case compared to the previous Ergon agreement. - Web Site
New Coal Seam LNG plan on target
ARROW Energy NL and Liquegas Energy Pty Ltd have signed a deal in which Arrow will supply coal seam gas to Liquegas for its proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant near Dalby, Queensland
The Heads of Agreement (HOA) opens the way for Liquegas, a subsidiary of the Norway-based oil technology and services group AGR Group, to build and operate what will be Australia's first small-scale LNG plant.
The gas will be processed in a 100- tonne per day plant, built at Daandine, 35 km west of Dalby. The LNG product will then be transported by road to industrial, transport and power generation customers in Queensland and New South Wales.
DAANDINE FEEDSTOCK
Arrow's chief executive, Nick Davies, said gas from Arrow's Daandine field will be used as feedstock in the new plant, with the HOA providing for an initial two petajoules per annum over a 15-year period. First gas supply is earmarked for the first half of 2009.
"While only a small step in the development of a new market, it is a highly important one that will see the birth of a whole new industry," Mr Davies said.
"This agreement will not only provide a basis for further development of the Daandine field, but will also contribute to a new and important gas supply alternative in Queensland. We are encouraged by the initiative and commitment shown by Liquegas and we believe that the demand for LNG has the potential to support significant growth.
"We also believe that there is an untapped opportunity for LNG in both the Australian and Asian markets, where Arrow plans to replicate its successful domestic model," he added.
AGR Group formed Liquegas as a single purpose entity to undertake the project, which has been estimated at million A$60 million. Liquegas intends to seek external funding, debt and equity during the second half of 2007. - Web Site

DRILLING ACTIVITY UPDATE: OFFSHORE PERTH BASIN EXPLORATION DRILLING - PERSEVERANCE-1
Roc Oil (WA) Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ROC, advises that the Perseverance-1 exploration well in WA-325-P, offshore Perth Basin, has been drilled to a Total Depth of 1,774 metres and that, as of 0600 hours on 21 May 2007, Australian Western Standard Time ("AWST"), the current operation was running electric logs.
Since the last Stock Exchange Release on 15 May 2007, the well has penetrated the two main objectives, the Dongara Sandstone and the Irwin River Coal Measures. Drilling and preliminary log data indicate that good gas indications are present in sands with moderate reservoir quality over a gross interval of approximately 32 metres below the top of the Dongara Sandstone. The significance of the gas shows will be determined after logging has been completed.
Perseverance-1, the second of a three well exploration drilling programme in the region, is scheduled to be followed by Dunsborough-1 in WA-286-P. - Web Site

1:12 Non Renounceable Entitlement Issue/Appendix 3B
The Directors are pleased to announce that they have resolved to undertake a 1:12 non- renounceable entitlement issue at 50c per share, to raise up to approximately A$40 million.
The issue will not be underwritten; however Directors reserve the right to place any shortfall.
As previously reported, Deep Yellow Limited (DYL) is currently committed to spend approximately $5 million per year on exploration, but given the Company's growing portfolio of tenements and commitments this expenditure rate is too low to meet its objectives of becoming a substantial uranium exploration and development company.
Furthermore, DYL's wholly owned Namibian subsidiary company Reptile Uranium Namibia which holds highly prospective tenements containing previously reported uranium resources and additional greenfields potential will be fully staffed by mid-June and the Company intends to increase its exploration activities by adding one or possibly two more RC drilling rigs. One of these rigs will be dedicated to JORC resource evaluation drilling of the uranium mineralisation outlined in the 1970s and early 1980s.
To achieve these increased exploration activities, exploration expenditure will be increased to approximately $9 million this year and to $15 million in 2008....... - Web Site

BP and Rio Tinto plan clean coal project for Western Australia
BP and Rio Tinto today announced that they are beginning feasibility studies and work on plans for the potential development of a A$2 billion (US$1.5 billion) coal-fired power generation project at Kwinana in Western Australia that would be fully integrated with carbon capture and storage to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases.
This will be the first new project for Hydrogen Energy, the new company launched by BP and Rio Tinto last week, subject to regulatory approval.
The planned project would be an industrial-scale coal-fired power and carbon capture and storage project. It would generate enough electricity to meet 15 per cent of the demand of south west Western Australia, while each year capturing and permanently storing about four million tonnes of carbon dioxide which otherwise would have been emitted to the atmosphere.
The project would gasify locally-produced coal from the Collie region to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The hydrogen would be used to fuel the power station and around 90 per cent of the carbon dioxide would be captured and stored permanently in a deep underground geological formation.
The costs of this low-carbon hydrogen-fuelled power generation are higher than those of traditional power generation. For the project to be economic and able to compete effectively in the electricity market, it would require appropriate policy support and a regulatory environment which recognises and encourages the low-carbon benefits it can deliver.
Subject to the successful outcome of detailed engineering and commercial studies, and providing government policy is in place to make the project commercially viable, a final investment decision to develop the project could be made in 2011, with the project coming into operation after a three year construction period. - Web Site

Clarification to Holders of May 2007 Piggy-back Options
Further to numerous enquiries from option holders and stockbrokers regarding the exercise of the listed May 2007 options, the company wishes to advise that upon exercise of the May 2007 options by payment of the 12 cents per option, the holder is entitled to a new fully paid ordinary share and also a new option exercisable at 20 cents per share on or before 31 May 2008.
It is proposed that this new option will be applied for quotation on the Australian Stock Exchange. Using the 'Black-Scholes' model to value this new option, using the current share price of 11 cents per share and a volatility of 70%, the new option's value equates to 1.4 cents per option.
It has also been brought to the company's attention that the letter sent to option holders dated 7 May 2007 and that released to the ASX Company Announcements Office on the 7 May 2007 differ slightly in the second sentence, first paragraph. The letter sent to shareholders states:
'Each option held is for the acquisition of one ordinary fully paid share and one new option exercisable at 20 cents per share on or before 31 May 2007 ... ...' but should read
'Each option held is for the acquisition of one ordinary fully paid share and one new option exercisable at 20 cents per share on or before 31 May 2008, ... ...'
The share register apologises for the confusion and a copy of this letter will be sent to all option holders...... - Web Site
