Stocks rose Friday, capping a strong week for Wall Street, as investors drew confidence from strong results at Oracle Corp. and a continued sense that lower interest rates should help bolster the economy.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 2.08 billion shares, compared with 1.27 billion shares traded Thursday. Friday's session brought "triple-witching," a once-a-quarter occurrence when investors face simultaneous expiration of contracts for stock index futures, index options and stock options.
For the week, the Dow was up 2.9 percent, while the S&P 500 index added 2.8 percent. It was the best weekly showing for the indexes since March. Nasdaq rose 2.7 percent, its best weekly gain since last month.
The US dollar hit a new low against the euro Friday as the 13-nation currency broke through $1.41.
The U.S. dollar fell further against the Canadian dollar after reaching parity for the first time since 1976 on Thursday.
Crude oil eased in New York, after reaching a record yesterday, on speculation that prices are overvalued because of slowing demand growth and increased output.
Copper fell, erasing earlier gains, on speculation a rally was overdone amid concern that demand may slow because of the housing slump in the US.
Gold fell, erasing earlier gains, on speculation a five-week rally to a 27-year high was overdone. Silver rose, capping the biggest weekly gain in 10 months. Speculation that gold might be too expensive will trigger a silver rally, analysts said.

ACTIVITY UPDATE
Lake Long Project, Lafourche Parish, South Louisiana
Production commences from SL 328 # 9 Deep Well (FAR 10.1875%)
Following construction of surface installations, production has commenced from the Middle Hollywood Sand interval of the SL 328 #9 well at Lake Long Field.
The well has been placed on line and is producing 1.825 million cubic feet of gas and 50 barrels of condensate per day on a restricted 7/64 inch choke at a flowing tubing pressure of 4,425 psi. The operator plans to open up production during the next few weeks to a planned rate of 4 million cubic feet per day with associated condensate.
The Upper Hollywood Sands (where 13 feet of additional net pay has been logged) will be produced at a later date.
Interests in the well are also held by the Operator, Kriti Exploration Inc and ASX listed entities Amadeus Energy Limited and Sun Resources NL.
Kicker Prospect, Vermillion Parish, South Louisiana (FAR 5%)
Surface Installation complete - Marceaux #1 well turned to sales
Construction of surface production facilities for the Marceaux #1 well has been completed. Production tubing has been run and gas lift valves installed to provide for artificial lift over the life of the well.
Pressure analysis studies have been performed and subject to establishing production history there remains the possibility that a further one or two well locations exist downdip from the Marceaux #1 well.
The well was turned to sales on 14 September 2007 on a very restricted 4/64 inch choke at a flowing tubing pressure of 5150 psi.
Prior to running tubing approximately 4,500 barrels of oil were produced into frac tanks over a 6 day period and trucked by Central crude to sales point.
On turning the well to sales the well sanded up suggesting either a packer failure or an issue with the gas mandrills. A coiled tubing unit is being mobilised to start cleaning out tubing and place the well back on line.
The Operator is Neumin Production Company of Lafayette, Louisiana. FAR's working interest reduces to 3.75% after payout. All other participants are North American entities.
Valentine-1, Onshore Canning Basin, Western Australia (FAR 8%)

THAILAND UPDATE - L44-H FLOWS OIL 1,265 BOPD
EXPLORATION PERMIT L44/43 L44-H
Appraisal Well The L44-H well is located in the central lobe of the Na Sanun East ("NSE") oil field, approximately 3.25 kilometres north of the producing NS3-D1 well.
Well testing is continuing and a stable rate of 1,265 bbls/day has been achieved. The oil is good quality at 35 degree API. A small amount of water is being produced varying from 0.7% to 1.2% as the well continues to clean up and unloads the remainder of the drilling fluids lost into the reservoir while drilling ("lost circulation").
The well is free flowing on choke settings of 8/64 inch on the annulus and 17/64 inch on the tubing. Flowing casing head pressure is 220 psi and flowing tubing head pressure is 280 psi indicating the well may be capable of oil production at even higher rates.
L44-H penetrated the top 14.5 meters of the target volcanic reservoir interval at a depth of approximately 866 meters. Lost circulation (an indicator of good quality, fractured reservoir) was encountered at three levels with total drilling fluid losses of more than 1,100 barrels. Electric logs indicated the best volcanic reservoir section yet encountered in any well over the entire 14.5 meter thick volcanic interval. This has been confirmed by the excellent oil flow rate...... - Web Site

TESTWORK AT BAMBOO CREEK PRODUCES SIGNIFICANTLY MORE GOLD BULLION THAN MEASURED BY THE TRADITIONAL ASSAY METHOD
On February 12, 2007, Haoma advised the ASX that ore processing at the Bamboo Creek Plant had stopped and the Plant had been placed on care and maintenance. Haoma February 12, 2007 Release
Shareholders were advised on February 12, 2007 that since the end of December 2006 Haoma Mining had experienced serious problems extracting the gold (measured from samples taken during processing) into "gold bars".
The Bamboo Creek ore processing method implemented late last year was successful in extracting the gold from ore into a cyanide solution and loading that gold onto carbon. Unfortunately at the same time there were major problems in the gold stripping circuit which meant the gold on carbon could not be stripped from the carbon to produce gold bars. The gold reconciliation (measured as gold being loaded onto the carbon against gold bullion produced) did not balance.
It was also pointed out in the December 2006 Quarterly Activities Report that longer term funding of Haoma was unlikely to be available until it could be shown that the amount of gold produced from processing different test ore parcels through the Bamboo Creek Plant was about the same as measured from Plant samples when subjected to the Elazac Assay Method cyanide leach tests in the Bamboo Creek Plant Laboratory or another laboratory. (See Item 2.2 in December 2006 Quarter Activities Report). Haoma December 2006 Quarterly Activities
Since February 12, 2007 test work on stripping the gold loaded on carbon in late 2006 has continued at Bamboo Creek. Gold stripping results over the last month have been extremely encouraging, with significantly more gold being produced than measured by the traditional assay method.
Initially one tonne of carbon, with a gold grade of 320 g/t (by the traditional acid digestion Aqua Regia assay method) has to date produced 800 grams of gold with gold remaining on the carbon measuring 149 g/t.
The Bamboo Creek gold stripping process is now continuing with an expectation that even more gold will be produced from the first tonne of carbon than measured by the original assay!
Once the stripping of the first tonne of carbon is completed the remaining 7 tonnes of gold loaded carbon will be stripped. It is anticipated the process will take about 2 weeks.
When all results from current tests are completed the Directors will consider recommencing gold production at Bamboo Creek. - Web Site

Stocks retreated Thursday as Wall Street took a breather from this week's recent rally, sobered a bit by mixed earnings reports, a tumbling dollar and surging oil prices.
Wall Street did get some good news Thursday. The Labor Department said jobless claims declined by 9,000 last week, despite August's decrease in payrolls, and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. reported a surprisingly large 79 percent profit rise in the third quarter. But Bear Stearns & Cos. didn't weather the market turmoil as well, and suffered a larger-than-anticipated 62 percent profit drop.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 8 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 2.96 billion shares, down from 3.82 billion on Wednesday.
The euro surpassed US$1.40 for the first time since the 13-nation currency was introduced in 1999.
Oil prices were bolstered by reports that roughly a quarter of Gulf of Mexico's daily oil production has been closed as forecasters watched development of a weather system that could become a tropical depression.
Copper gained for a fourth straight session as lower borrowing costs and a report showing improved employment eased concerns the economy will slow in the U.S., the world's second-largest consumer of the metal.
Aluminum and zinc snapped two days of gains in London on concern that surplus production of the metals will increase.
Gold rose to a 27-year high as the dollar fell to a record low against the euro and the spread between two- and 10-year U.S. Treasuries widened, fueling demand for the metal as an inflation hedge. Silver also climbed.

Mr O'Neill's long association with the Texas Silver Project from exploration to development has helped underpin the growth of Macmin. I am pleased to say that he will remain a valuable member of the Macmin team.
Succession planning has been in progress since 2006 and Mr Garry Edwards, MBA, FAICD, who has been Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer since 1995, will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective 1 October 2007. Mr Edwards brings strong financial and management expertise to the CEO's role which the Board considers appropriate as Macmin moves from an exploration company to a mining company.
As a part of the succession planning and, although Mr Edwards will retain his current statutory roles for now, Mr Paul Schultz and Mrs Lisa Hartin have been promoted to Financial Controller and Chief Accountant respectively and Ms Kim Carter will assume additional responsibility in her Assistant Company Secretary role. Mr Edwards' financial background and long association with the Company ensures a smooth transition in the leadership of the Company at an exciting time when commercial production from the Company's first silver mine at Twin Hills is getting underway.
Mr Edgar Newman, who has been with the Company since 1997, will, in the role of Executive Director - Technical, continue to be responsible for most technical aspects for the Company and will work closely with Mr Edwards to maximise shareholder value from existing and new projects. Mr Newman will be assisted in this role by Mr Mark Morrison who was recently appointed as Process Manager/Manager of Metallurgy for the Company.
The Texas site operations continue to be directed by Mr Bill Guthrie, General Manager, and Mr John Magnusson, Senior Site Executive, assisted by recently appointed Mr Vas Vanek as Process Manager.

Valentine 1 drilling update
Operations Since Last Report: Directionally drilled to 3241m. Changed the drill bit and reconfigured the directional assembly and now preparing to recommence drilling ahead
Current Operations: Drilling Ahead
Hydrocarbon indications: None
Comment: Lithologies presently being drilled are predominantly tight limestones and minor claystones of probable Devonian age with minor mud gas shows observed. The target Virgin Hills Formation clastic section has yet to be intersected. Correlation of the new Valentine 1 stratigraphy with Puratte 1; the most equivalent well (50 kms away); indicates that the top of the Virgin Hills clastic objective is now prognosed slightly deeper at approximately 3315m MD. This change in prognosed depth is not structurally significant and reflects the uncertainty of prediction of stratigraphy and depths in an underexplored basin. - Web Site

Discovery of two new high-grade lodes at Blue Spec
Northwest is pleased to announce it has discovered two new high-grade lodes to the south and the north of the currently defined Blue Spec JORC resource.
The results emphasize the very high-grade nature of the underground mineralisation at Blue Spec and the potential for Blue Spec to host additional lode positions which will significantly grow the size of the Blue Spec resource inventory at depth.
Northwest believes that Blue Spec now has the potential to develop into a much larger deposit than previously envisaged. - Web Site

Underground mine plan drilling commences
The first two holes of an eleven hole programme targeting the upper 150 metres of the Siana underground position have commenced.
The objective of the programme is the twofold generation of additional geotechnical data for finalisation of the underground mine design and further samples for metallurgical test work.
This activity is complementary to the completed Bankable Feasibility Study and does not influence the timing of finance discussions which are on-going.
The data generated is, however, integral to several current project enhancement studies. In particular,
A third rig is scheduled to arrive at site shortly allowing the programme to be completed in the next two months. - Web Site

WOOLLYBUTT-4H DEVELOPMENT WELL UPDATE - CARNARVON BASIN
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") provides the following information on the Woollybutt-4H development well which kicks off the Woollybutt South Development.
Location
The Woollybutt-4H development well is located in permit WA-25-L at a surface location of latitude 20°57'16.17"S and longitude 114°52'06.14"E in the Barrow Sub-basin. The well has been sidetracked from the existing Woollybutt-4 well.
Progress
As at 06:00hrs on 19th September Woollybutt-4H sidetrack was at an intermediate depth of approximately 2,800 metres. The forward plan is to drill 6" hole section to planned depth of around 3,400 metres measured depth and then commence the completion of the well as a producer, tied-back to the FPSO on the northern lobe. It is expected to take around 3 days to reach the planned total depth of Woollybutt-4H.
Tap Comment
Following completion of the Woollybutt-4H well as an oil producer, the rig will move to the Woollybutt-6 appraisal well location to investigate the possibility of additional producible oil further south of Woollybutt-4. Should Woollybutt-6 find a producible oil column, it will also be immediately completed as a production well and tied back to the FPSO via sea floor flow- lines. Woollybutt-4H and, if successful, Woollybutt-6, are scheduled for production in early 2008 and are expected to increase production of the overall Woollybutt oil field to approximately 14,000 bopd. - Web Site

Wall Street built on its gains Wednesday as investors bet that the cheaper money the Federal Reserve unleashed with its decision to cut interest rates will give a boost to corporate profits and the overall economy. A mild reading of the Labor Department's August consumer price index, which slipped 0.1 percent, offered support for the Fed's decision to focus on the economy and set aside some of its concerns about inflation. Further, the Commerce Department's report that new home construction fell for the third month in a row in August offered fresh evidence that the housing market is still struggling.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.82 billion shares, compared with 3.71 billion shares traded Tuesday.
Oil prices surged to a record high $US82.51 per barrel overnight following news that US crude reserves tumbled by 3.8 million barrels to 318.8 million barrels in the week ending September 14.
Nickel jumped the most in 19 years and copper climbed to a seven-week high in London after the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to prevent an economic slowdown. Zinc, aluminum, lead and tin also gained.
Gold and silver prices rose on expectations the Federal Reserve's cut in U.S. interest rates will weaken the dollar and boost the appeal of precious metals as alternative investments.

Conventional Gas Well Production Testing Update
Sydney Gas Ltd is pleased to advise that the Camden Joint Venture has commenced conventional gas well production testing of the Marrangaroo Conglomerate Sandstone intersected at EM31 well. A downhole pump was installed to accelerate the dewatering process and recover the injected water from the fracture treatment. The well produced a total of approximately 1165 bbls (72.8%) of water out of 1600 bbls injected during the fracture stimulation with indications that pressure is increasing on the annulus. As at 30 August 2007 the recorded shut–in pressure was 700 psig. Pumping operation commenced on 31 August 2007 and approximately 50 Mscfd of gas is successfully being produced from the annulus and sent to the Rosalind Park Gas Plant while still producing water up the tubing........- Web Site

SUGARLOAF PROJECT UPDATE
Kennedy #1H
Aurora advises that the Kennedy #1H exploration well, located in the onshore Gulf Coast Basin in Texas, USA, commenced drilling at 1830 hours Texas time on 17 September 2007.
At report time (0600 hours on 18 September 2007, Texas time) the well had reached a depth of 565 feet in 17.5 inch diameter hole and was drilling ahead.
The proposed total depth of Kennedy#1H is 17,570 feet (5,360 metres) which includes a horizontal section of approximately 5,000 feet (1,525 metres) to be drilled through the Austin Chalk Formation at a vertical depth of approximately 12,000 feet. The zone to be targeted by this horizontal section is believed to correlate with the producing section in the Sugarkane Field discovery well which is located some 8 km to the west of Kennedy #1H.
On a trouble-free basis the prognosed drilling time for this well is about 45 days.
Sugarloaf-1 Well
Kennedy #1H is located some 1.6 km from the Sugarloaf-1 well where fraccing and testing operations were commenced last week. Fracture stimulation of the deepest of the three zones of gas shows and log interpreted potential gas pay in the Cretaceous age Austin Chalk Formation was carried out on 11 September. The fracture stimulation operation terminated early after a premature screen-out halted pumping after only 6% of the planned proppant was placed in the formation. The reason for the screen-out is not known.
Proppant in the well bore is presently being washed out by a work-over rig prior to running tubing to test the zone. Some intermittent gas is being recovered during this operation. The significance of the gas shows will not be known until test operations are completed.
Further ASX announcements will be made as results from this test become available.
Eureka, through its wholly owned US subsidiary Hosston Oil & Gas, LP, has a 12.5 % interest in the Sugarloaf Project which includes the Sugarloaf-1 and Kennedy #1H wells.

The diamond and the reverse circulation drilling programmes are progressing well ahead of schedule and are expected to upgrade the 1.21 million ounces of gold, 3.72 million ounces of silver and 94,000 tonnes of zinc resource estimate.
The diamond programme has completed 88 holes for 16,568 metres of the planned 17,000 metres and the reverse circulation programme has completed 658 holes for 19,679 metres of the planned 22,000 metres.
Results from the latest 12 holes of the closely spaced infill diamond drilling in the Main Ore Zone are detailed in Table 3 and have confirmed the continuity of the mineralisation both down dip and between sections. All sections appear to be in line with expectations, indicating that the bulk of the resource will be upgraded as e xpected to Measured and Indicated status.
Results from the reverse circulation results are from an infill programme targeting near surface mineralisation in the Main Ore Zone and exploration at Zheng Guang North. The highlights of the results are the excellent widths and grade of the near surface mineralisation, which is in line with previous drilling results. The results are detailed in Table 1.
A regional programme designed to identify immediate drill targets has commenced on the recently acquired 80 km2 exploration licence adjacent to the eastern boundary of the Zheng Guang licence. ...... - Web Site

TNG Granted the Northern Territory's 1000th Exploration Licence
TNG was today granted the Northern Territory's 1000th Exploration Licence by the Minister for Mines, the Honorable Chris Natt, at an official ceremony at Parliament House in Darwin.
Mr Natt said this morning that reaching the 1000th Exploration License (EL) showed continued strong interest in the Northern Territory and proved that the government's investment strategies were working well. He said that 333 ELs had been granted in 2000/2001 and that the number had increased to 757 for the year ending 2005/2006.
"This year there has been an average of more than 50 applications received each month and this is continuing," Mr Natt said.
The 1000th licence was granted to a 100% owned subsidiary of TNG Limited ("TNG"). TNG is an Australian exploration company with a diversified portfolio of quality exploration projects in Western Australia and the Northern Territory and this the 1000th Exploration Licence forms part of its Manbarrum Project in the Bonaparte Basin near the WA border.
The 100% owned Manbarrum Zinc-Lead-Silver project is TNG's exploration priority with a significant amount of the $10 million current year RC and Diamond drilling exploration program already completed..... - Web Site

SABODALA GOLD PROJECT
Mineralised Zone Extending North
At the company's Sabodala gold deposit, the drilling programme continues to test extensions of the main mineralised zone that possibly may support future underground mining. The northern extension holes up to 20770N have continued to return deeper gold grade intersections (see Attachment 1). Drilling has been focused on the depth extensions of the flat main zone and the northwest cross-cutting fault.
This main lode has continued to more than 300 metres below surface. The more significant gold intersections include:
The northwest fault was the target of SBRC 761D. This hole intersected 6.3 metres grading 6.9g/t from 179.7 metres downhole. This intercept is the most northerly occurrence of the northwest trend.
Sabodala Zone
The Sabodala gold project is some 650 kilometres west of the Senegalese capital Dakar.
The project contains a mineable reserve of one million ounces of gold.
The final infill holes of the Sabodala open pit have been completed and will be included in the new Sabodala mineral resource estimate. The company anticipates a new open pit design will be completed in late October 2007. MDL is confident that an increase in gold ore reserves will be announced at the same time. Attachment 2 shows an aerial view of the current pit design and the mineralised gold ore extensions beyond the pit limits.
Sutuba Southern Zone
At the Sutuba prospect, further drilling to a maximum vertical depth of 100 metres is ongoing to the south of the main Sabodala deposit (see attached Table 2)....... - Web Site
CONVERTIBLE NOTE
Macmin is pleased to announce it has secured agreement for a Convertible Note Facility of US$9million from a US based investment group ("Subscriber"). The arrangement is subject to final due diligence and the Closing Date will be in approximately 14 days.
These funds will be employed towards upgrading the crushing circuit at Twin Hills and to maintain a strong exploration impetus on existing projects and also to evaluate new silver project opportunities.
Commissioning of the Twin Hills silver mine over recent months has highlighted areas within the crushing circuit where improvements can now be made to ensure that long term expansion of production volumes could be achieved. Macmin is currently evaluating a number of alternative additions and improvements to the crushing circuit and having funds ready to apply to the chosen alternative will speed up this strategy. Commissioning of the Electro-winning Plant (EM-EW) has produced sufficient silver powder to provide commercial samples for end-users to evaluate and marketing initiatives are underway. Optimisation tests on parameters such as flow rates, solution temperature and conductivity are advancing to increase the efficiency of silver powder production from the initial 60 EM-EW cells commissioned to date.
The exploration success at the Tally Ho silver project in Central Queensland has focused the Company exploration drive to this area which had no history of silver exploration. Our results have indicated that the area is highly prospective for silver and consequently we have applied for a number of exploration permits in the area and are evaluating a number of silver prospects held by other parties. Funds from the Convertible Note will be deployed in a very active programme to locate silver resources in 2008 in Central Queensland, whilst simultaneously maintaining our exploration activity at Twin Hills, Mt Gunyan and other areas within the Texas Silver Project.
The conditions of the Convertible Note are:-

Aquila to appeal Change in Control Decision
On 4 September 2007, Aquila Resources Limited ("Aquila") reported to the ASX that the Supreme Court of Queensland had handed down its decision ("Decision"), in respect of the Change in Control dispute between Aquila, AMCI and CVRD, finding that the restructuring of the AMCI interests in the Australian Premium Iron Joint Venture and the Belvedere Coal Joint Venture, in which two of Aquila's subsidiaries respectively hold 50% venture interests, did not constitute a ‘Change in Control' as defined, under the terms of the respective joint venture agreements.
As previously reported, if a ‘Change in Control' under the terms of the respective joint venture agreements occurs, which Aquila has argued before the Supreme Court of Queensland is the case, the Change in Control will result in the relevant Aquila subsidiaries obtaining an option to purchase AMCI's interests in the Australian Premium Iron Joint Venture and the Belvedere Coal Joint Venture (at a price to be determined by an independent expert as at the date of the Change of Control).
After consideration of the reasons for the Decision with its legal team, Aquila reports that it has today instructed its legal representatives to lodge an appeal against the Decision.
Mr Allan Myers AO, QC has been briefed to represent Aquila in the appeal. - Web Site

A jubilant Wall Street skyrocketed Tuesday after the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by a larger-than-expected half percentage point to 4.75 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average reacted by surging 335 points -- its biggest one-day point jump in nearly five years. The Fed also reduced the discount rate -- what it charges banks borrowing from its discount window -- by a half percentage point to 5.25 percent.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by nearly 10 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.65 billion shares, up from 1.11 billion shares Monday.
Meanwhile, the US dollar tumbled to a new all-time low against the euro after the rate cut, because lower rates make a currency a less attractive investment.
Crude oil futures catapulted further into record terrain, rising 94 cents to $81.51 a barrel after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a larger than expected half percentage point, raising market hopes that economic growth will accelerate and lift demand even as crude oil and gasoline inventories are tight.
Nickel in London jumped 6 percent, the most in five months, on demand growth in China, the largest consumer of the metal used in stainless steel. Copper and lead also gained.
Gold rallied to a 16-month high while U.S. gold futures surged to a 28-year peak in New York's electronic trade Tuesday.

Intrepid and Emperor to create a dynamic and well funded gold producer, developer and explorer
Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX: IAU, IXN & ASX: IAU) and Emperor Mines Limited (ASX: EMP) are pleased to announce that their respective Boards have signed an agreement to merge the two companies.
The Merged Company
The new company, to be named Intrepid Mines Limited, will be a dynamic and well funded international gold producer, developer and explorer listed on both the TSX and ASX.
The combination of Emperor's balance sheet strength, Intrepid's producing Paulsens Gold Mine and its Casposo development project, and both companies' exploration assets, together with the combined skills of the two management teams, will create a well balanced company capable of adding significant value for its shareholders.
In particular, the merged Intrepid's strengthened balance sheet and the ability to secure project finance, will allow the company to immediately move forward with corporate objectives, including:
Emperor's 78.7% shareholder, DRDGOLD, has informed Emperor that it intends to re-focus its attention on opportunities in South Africa and so intends to seek to realise its investment in an orderly manner prior to the scheme meeting convened by the Court to approve the proposed scheme. Emperor has agreed to work with DRDGOLD to seek to facilitate such an exit. The proposed merger with Intrepid is therefore subject to DRDGOLD being able to successfully realise its investment in Emperor prior to this time.
The boards of directors of Emperor and Intrepid have resolved to support the proposed merger...... Web Site

MAXIMUS COMMENCES NEW BIRD-IN-HAND MINING STUDY
HIGHLIGHTS
NEW MINING STUDY AND INCREASED RESOURCE TARGET OUTLINED FOR MAXIMUS' BIRD-IN-HAND GOLD PROJECT
A new mining scoping study and an anticipated higher resource have been outlined by Maximus Resources Ltd (ASX: MXR) for its Bird-in-Hand gold project, near Woodside in the Adelaide Hills.
Maximus said today it was targeting an inferred mineral resource containing over 250,000 ounces of gold for the Company's 100% owned project.
This resource target is 54% higher than the upgraded 162,000 ounces of contained gold announced by Maximus in June this year when the Company disclosed a significant jump in the JORC inferred mineral resource and contained gold at the Bird-in-Hand project.
Announcing the new mining scoping study, Maximus' Managing Director, Dr Kevin Wills, said the study had been commissioned with a view to introducing more innovative methodologies to profitably mine the high-grade Bird-in-Hand gold resource.
An early mining scoping study carried out by the Company in April 2006 concluded that, given additional high-grade gold resources, the Bird-in-Hand lode could be successfully developed as an underground mine using decline access.... - Web Site

CLARIFICATION OF CHAMELEON MINING ANNOUNCEMENT
Murchison Metals Limited (Murchison) wishes to provide the following clarification regarding an ASX announcement by Chameleon Mining NL (Chameleon) dated 13 September 2007.
The announcement suggests that Chameleon may have a claim against Murchison.
This statement is totally baseless.
Chameleon wrote to Murchison last year outlining the basis of its so-called claim. The letter refers to events that occurred before Chameleon went into liquidation in 2004 and before the appointment of the current directors of Murchison.
This correspondence was reviewed by Murchison and its lawyers. Murchison is strongly of the view that the claims have no foundation whatsoever. In particular, the report in The Weekend Australian on 15 September 2007 that Chameleon is in some way entitled to an interest in the Jack Hills Project or the revenues derived from that project, is totally spurious.
Murchison has been provided with no further correspondence by Chameleon and Chameleon has not commenced any proceedings against Murchison.
Murchison notes that the liquidator's report on the affairs of Chameleon makes no reference to Chameleon having any claim against Murchison.
Any proceedings that may be commenced by Chameleon against Murchison in relation to this matter will be vigorously defended by Murchison. - Web Site

MAITLAND-2 APPRAISAL WELL UPDATE CARNARVON BASIN
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") provides the following information on the Maitland-2 well which spudded on 6th September 2007.
Location
The Maitland-2 appraisal well is located in permit WA-33-R at a surface location of latitude 20°32'34.59"S and longitude 115°09'47.19"E in the Barrow Sub-basin, approximately 40 kilometres north-west of Barrow Island and 5 kilometres south-east of the John Brookes field.
Progress
As of Monday 17th September Maitland-2 had drilled to its total depth intersecting the Maitland reservoir section on prognosis. Hydrocarbon shows were observed through the reservoir interval and wireline logging operations are currently underway.
Tap Comment
Preliminary analysis indicates that the reservoir is gas charged. After the completion of wireline operations Maitland-2 is planned to be sidetracked in order to collect conventional core over the reservoir interval. A horizontal sidetrack, Maitland-3H, will then be drilled and flow tested to establish potential development production rates.

Intrepid Announces Merger
Intrepid and Emperor to create a dynamic and well funded gold producer, developer and explorer
Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX: IAU, IXN & ASX: IAU) and Emperor Mines Limited (ASX: EMP) are pleased to announce that their respective Boards have signed an agreement to merge the two companies.
The Merged Company
The new company, to be named Intrepid Mines Limited, will be a dynamic and well funded international gold producer, developer and explorer listed on both the TSX and ASX.
The combination of Emperor's balance sheet strength, Intrepid's producing Paulsens Gold Mine and its Casposo development project, and both companies' exploration assets, together with the combined skills of the two management teams, will create a well balanced company capable of adding significant value for its shareholders.
In particular, the merged Intrepid's strengthened balance sheet and the ability to secure project finance, will allow the company to immediately move forward with corporate objectives, including:
Emperor's 78.7% shareholder, DRDGOLD, has informed Emperor that it intends to re-focus its attention on opportunities in South Africa and so intends to seek to realise its investment in an orderly manner prior to the scheme meeting convened by the Court to approve the proposed scheme. Emperor has agreed to work with DRDGOLD to seek to facilitate such an exit. The proposed merger with Intrepid is therefore subject to DRDGOLD being able to successfully realise its investment in Emperor prior to this time.
The boards of directors of Emperor and Intrepid have resolved to support the proposed merger.....

Wall Street fell moderately Monday as investors anxiously awaited the Federal Reserve's impending decision on interest rates.
Volume on the New York Stock Exchange was among the lightest of any day this year, indicating that many market participants were staying on the sidelines ahead of the Fed's decision. Consolidated volume totaled 2.47 billion shares compared with 2.65 billion traded Friday. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 2 to 1 on the NYSE.
Crude oil for October delivery rose $1.47, or 1.9 percent, to settle at $80.57 a barrel at 2:48 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange, a record close. Oil was pulled higher by natural gas, which rose 6 percent amid signs that demand will rise because of warmer-than-normal weather in the U.S. Midwest and the potential for supply disruptions during the remainder of the hurricane season.
Copper rose on speculation the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates, spurring economic growth and demand for metals in the U.S.
Gold rose to a 16-month high and silver gained on speculation that a credit crisis will spur central banks to reduce interest rates and boost demand for precious metals as alternative investments to currencies.
Vancouver - 17th September, 2007.

Robertson Range - Increased Resource Size and Classification
This morning, FerrAus released to the ASX an announcement detailing a significant resource upgrade at the flagship Robertson Range Project in the the East Pilbara Region of Western Australia.
This JORC compliant resource estimate was independently completed by RSG Global Consulting Pty Ltd.
The resource has increased from 24.3 million tonnes to 28.6 million tonnes; a 17.7% increase.
Significanctly, there has been a considerable increase in the JORC compliant classification of ore into the indicated category. Of the current total 28.6 million tonne resource, 82% (23.35mt) is now classified as indicated. Of the previous 24.3mt resource, only 7.7mt were categorised as Indicated, thus this catageory has more than tripled....... - Web Site

Grange Acquires Southdown Freehold Land
Grange Resources Limited (ASX:GRR) is pleased to announce that it has acquired the freehold farmland underlying the 3 mining leases which contain the western 6 kilometres of the Southdown magnetite deposit (see attached figure). The freehold land (Lots 6832 and 6833) covers 2317 hectares of mainly grazing and cropping land.
Grange has previously reported a resource base of 479.1 million tonnes containing 37.3% magnetite grading 69.2% Fe within the Southdown mining leases.
This acquisition is a logical step in Grange advancing the Southdown Magnetite Project towards completion and follows Grange's recent agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Limited to acquire tenement E70/2512 covering the eastern 6 km extension of the Southdown magnetite deposit.
Grange shareholders will be meeting on 28th September 2007 to approve the issue of shares and options to Rio Tinto as part of the tenement acquisition. The directors of Grange are very much in favour of the transaction and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the acquisition.....- Web Site

Revised Resource Estimate
The revised resource estimate is 42.8Mt of mineralisation at 629 ppm for 26.9 Kt of U3O8 contained, at 300 ppm U3O8 cut off.
This compares to the previous estimate - released in August 2006 - of 45.6Mt of mineralisation at 680 ppm for 31.2 Kt of U3O8 .contained, also at 300 ppm U3O8 cut off.....
While the revised resource estimate represents an overall decrease compared with the August 2006 resource estimate, the area to which the revised estimate relates overlaps only 60% of the previous estimate area. The reduction in the estimate area is a result of a revision to the underlying resource model which does not allow us to assume the same level of grade continuity as previously modelled. As a result, the remaining 40% of the August 2006 estimate area has been excluded from the revised estimate, but continues to represent excellent exploration potential for the project......- Web Site

India Resources hits copper mineralisation
Diversified minerals developer, India Resources has intersected widespread copper mineralisation on its Aravalli Base Metals Project in Rajasthan, located 500km southwest of Delhi.
A scout reverse circulation drilling program has been completed at the Sathuddia prospect at the Aravalli project in northwest India, which has been targeted by India Resources for copper and other base metals.
The drilling program involved holes drilled at nominal 50m intervals, with every hole finding disseminated or stringer chalcopyrite mineralisation, featuring a best intercept of 9m at 1.7 percent copper. The mineralisation zone trends 450m in a north-northeast direction and is open along strike and at depth.
These holes follow the original discovery by Geological Survey of India, which identified several highly prospective areas lying within the Relmagra Reconnaissance Permit (RP). While no definitive data is available, it appears that GSI drilled 12 holes previously, and outlined two lenses over a combined total of 700m in strike length. ...... - Web Site

DRILLING COMMENCES AT LUPA GOLD PROJECT, TANZANIA
Peninsula Minerals Limited (Company) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Lupa gold project, in south western Tanzania north of the regional centre of Mbeya.
A reverse circulation drilling program will test the gold in soil anomalies previously reported as occurring over a 5km x 2 km area. The largest anomaly in the central part of the grid extends for 650 to 700m in length by 300m in width with several samples peaking at +500 ppb gold and numerous samples at 100 ppb gold within a broad 50 ppb contour. Previous exploration by Zari Exploration has returned rock samples along the zone to be tested of up to 8.2g/t, 14.8g/t, 24.4g/t and 36.3g/t gold and higher.
The drill program consists of 35 reverse circulation holes of approximately 50 metres each at -60 degree dip (totaling 1,750 metres) to test the soil anomalies and anomalous rock samples along seven fences of holes.rs on a l u s- Web Site
