Wall Street tumbled again Friday, giving the market a painful end to another terrible week, one that left the major indexes down more than 6 percent. The reality of a protracted recession, and the likelihood that government intervention can do little to hasten its end, had investors again abandoning stocks, particularly those of struggling financial companies.
According to preliminary calculations, the Dow industrials fell 100.28, or 1.3 percent, to 7,365.67 after earlier falling more than 215. On Thursday, the Dow broke through its Nov. 20 low of 7,552.29, and closed at its lowest level since Oct. 9, 2002.
The Dow's 6.2 percent slide for the week was its worst performance since the week of Oct. 10, when it lost 18.2 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index on Friday fell 8.89, or 1.14 percent, to 770.05. The benchmark most watched by traders came within less than 2 points of its Nov. 20 close of 752.44. It remains above its Nov. 21 trading low of 741.02.
The Nasdaq composite index fell 1.59, or 0.11 percent, to 1,441.23.
For the week, the S&P fell 6.9 percent, while the Nasdaq lost 6.1 percent.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 2.12 billion shares.
Other world indicators also fell sharply. Britain's FTSE 100 declined 3.2 percent, Germany's DAX index tumbled 4.8 percent, and France's CAC-40 fell 4.3 percent.
Crude oil fell below $39 a barrel, retreating from its largest gain in seven weeks, as global stock markets declined on concern the recession is deepening.
Copper futures fell in New York, capping a second weekly decline, as stockpiles of the metal increased amid a global economic slump.
Gold surpassed US$1,000 an ounce in New York for the first time in almost a year as investors, hurt by plunging stocks and a deepening recession, sought to protect their wealth.

Renewed focus on White Dam Gold Project
The current A$ gold price environment has created a compelling case for the development of the White Dam Gold Project.
Exco, and our Joint Venture partners Polymetals, have renewed our focus on implementing the project with the aim of achieving first production and cash flow within 9 to 12 months.
With the Mining Lease having been granted in August 2007, the emphasis is now on securing final approval of the Mining & Rehabilitation Plan (MARP) for the project. Exco and Polymetals will be working closely with the relevant South Australian departments to expedite this approval ahead of embarking on what is forecast to be a relatively short development timeline of approximately 6 months.
With a forecast peak funding requirement of A$16M, and estimated operating costs of A$600/oz, the project has the ability to provide substantial free cash flows over its relatively short life. - Web Site

Half Year Results and Audio Presentation
North Queensland Metals Limited (NQM) announces a net profit of $6.4 million for the six months to 31 December 2008.
Directors have declared a maiden dividend of 1 cent per share unfranked, payable on 15 April 2009 with a record date of 31st March 2009.
Net profit for the previous 12 months to 30 June 2008 was $1.7 million.
The results reflect the acquisition of the Pajingo gold mine in December 2007 by NQM (60%) and Heemskirk Consolidated Limited (40%), the re-start under NQM management in January 2008 and the progress in the operation of Pajingo during the year.
Gold production from Pajingo totalled 29,958 oz during the December 2008 half year. NQM is proceeding with its declared strategy of increasing production to the level of 70,000 to 80,000 oz a year, although, as previously announced, production during the current quarter has been affected by severe wet weather. - Web Site
Galoc Oil Field - Operations Update
Otto Energy ("Otto") (ASX: OEL) provides an update on the progress of installation of the Hold Back Mooring System (HBMS) and repairs to the Mooring and Riser System (M&RS) at the Galoc Oil Field, located offshore Philippines, as advised by the Operator of the field, Galoc Production Company WLL (GPC).
Since the last announcement dated 27 January 2009, substantial progress has been made with all repairs to the M&RS. This progress has resulted in the Floating Production Storage and Offtake (FPSO) vessel now safely reconnected to the M&RS. The southwest portion of the HBMS has been installed and the FPSO will connect to the HBMS once final inspection of the HBMS is completed.
Present operations are testing systems on the FPSO, and the replacements of the final sections of the riser are expected to be complete in the forthcoming days. The northeast leg of the HBMS is to be installed.
At this time weather remains favourable and GPC advises that completion of the re‐instatement activities and re‐commencement of production is anticipated next week. - Web Site

OPERATIONAL ADVICE
Leonard #1-23H (10% working interest)
Samson Oil & Gas Limited (NYSE Alternext US: SSN /ASX: SSN) advises that a work over of the Leonard #1-23H has been undertaken using a coiled tubing unit and was aimed at cleaning out any residual frac sand and drilling out the ball seats associated with the multistage frac equipment. This operation had to be curtailed when the unit intersected a considerable sand plug between Stage 3 and Stage 4, which will require a conventional jointed pipe rig to remove. The procedure is a normal operation in the final completion for this type of well. Having removed the residual frac sand from the well bore, a tubing string and pump will be run.
It is expected that this operation will be completed February 27th 2009.
The discovery of a significant sand plug in the horizontal section of the well means that it is likely that the deeper part of the well bore has not been contributing to the observed flow rates, thus management expects that once the casing is cleaned of this sand, the well's performance will be enhanced...... - Web Site

Drilling Commences at Mount Peake
The Directors of TNG Limited (ASX:TNG) are pleased to announce that Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling has commenced at its 100% owned Mount Peake Project in the Northern Territory, (Figure 1).
The project area consists of high grade magnetite mineralisation occurring within a large gabbro intrusion. The gabbro and mineralisation are defined by a large geophysical magnetic anomaly that is continuous over 4km in strike length and 0.5km to 1km in width, giving considerable size potential for any continuity of mineralisation (Figure 2).
XRF results from Diamond Drill core (ARD02) confirmed continuous mineralisation over an 80-100m intersection, from a shallow depth of 30m grading 28.7% Fe, 0.43% V2O5, 7.5% TiO2. Subsequent Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) test work confirmed recoveries of 80% with average upgrades to 56% Fe, 1.2% V2O5, and 17% TiO2 establishing that a product of potentially economic grade could be retrieved. Comparison with other magnetite deposits in Australia has shown that this project has equivalent or higher grades to existing projects.
A detailed gravity survey over the Mount Peak magnetic feature has revealed a significant gravity anomaly immediately adjacent to the intense magnetic response and an additional large gravity anomaly extending 1km to the NE (Figure 3).
The drill programme has been designed to test extensions to the mineralisation and to test these additional geophysical targets (Figure 4)...... - Web Site

The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled to its lowest close in more than six years on Thursday as sharp declines in key financial shares led the market lower. The blue chips broke through a psychological barrier established in November 2008 to close at their lowest level since Oct. 9, 2002, the last bear market low.
On Thursday, persistent worries about financial and technology stocks weighed on the market, with steep dropoffs in financial bellwethers like Citigroup and Bank of America leading the way downward. Both stocks ended down about 14 percent.
The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index suffered the biggest hit Thursday after Hewlett Packard Co. tumbled 7.9 percent after posting worrisome results.
The number of US workers drawing the unemployment benefit has jumped to a record high of nearly 5 million as a worsening economy made it increasingly hard to find jobs.
Interest rates on standard U.S. 30-year mortgages dropped in the latest week to levels just shy of record lows as concerns of a deepening recession boosted the appeal of fixed-rate investments, Freddie Mac said on Thursday. The average fixed 30-year mortgage rate declined to 5.04 percent in the week ending Thursday.
Oil prices jumped Thursday as new government data showed U.S. oil inventories fell unexpectedly and that consumption of gasoline and other petroleum products -- which have been plummeting because of the recession -- may be starting to edge higher.
Copper futures rose for the third time in four sessions as the US dollar dropped, increasing the appeal of commodities as an alternative investment.
Gold fell for the first time this week as demand eased after the price reached the highest since July. Silver also declined.

The Directors of Bow Energy Ltd (Bow) are pleased to announce that the Hobson‐1 coal seam gas (CSG) well has reached a total depth of 432 metres. A total of 22.34 metres of net observable coal was logged at the well site with several of the individual seams over two metres thick. The majority of the coals were below 300 metres depth, with all of the sampled coals below this depth desorbing gas when brought to surface.
The well is located in southwest Queensland toward the eastern margin of the Cooper‐ Eromanga Basin on the Canaway Ridge structure, approximately 70km north west of Quilpie. Hobson‐1 is the second well of a two‐well CSG exploration program aimed at determining the CSG potential of the Winton Formation coals on the Canaway Ridge structure. The structure, which is approximately 80 km long, extends over three permits where Bow has 65‐ 100% direct working interests. - Web Site

TRILLION TONNE POTENTIAL FOR COAL TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS IN SA-NT BORDER AREA
A new report has identified an area of the Simpson Desert straddling the South Australian-Northern Territory border as sufficiently promising to be a serious contender in Australia's rapidly emerging underground coal gasification, coal bed methane and gas-to-liquids industries.
The report, the full text of which will be released shortly, found potential for well in excess of one trillion tonnes of coal in the Purni Formation of the Pedirka Basin with estimates suggesting the coal seam potential is very well identified between 200 and 1,000 metres depth.
The findings will now be used by Perth-based Central Petroleum Limited (ASX code: "CTP") to explore further the potential for various technology applications such as UCG, GTL and CTL. - Web Site

Cash Offer by Minmetals - Clarification
OZ Minerals wishes to clarify the announcement dated 16 February 2009 entitled "Recommended 82.5 Cents per Share All-Cash Offer For OZ Minerals by Minmetals".
The announcement incorrectly stated that a pre-condition to the scheme proceeding was OZ Minerals not becoming aware of any material adverse change in its confirmatory due diligence by 23 February 2009.
This statement should have referred Minmetals not becoming aware of any such change.
If this pre-condition, and the one requiring OZ Minerals' financiers' consent, are not satisfied by the relevant dates, either party has the right to terminate the scheme implementation agreement. If the pre-conditions are satisfied, the transaction will proceed, subject to the other conditions precedents (summarised in the 16 February announcement) not being triggered. - Web Site

Santos 2008 Full Year Results Release
Santos today announced a strong uplift in underlying net profit of 42% to $572 million after tax for the year ended 31 December 2008.
The solid financial results in 2008 were built on the strong performance of Santos' base businesses in Australia and Indonesia. This has enabled Santos to continue to develop its LNG growth projects, strengthen its balance sheet and maintain the final dividend to shareholders, despite the impact of the global financial crisis.
The record net profit of $1.7 billion after tax included a $1.2 billion profit from the sale of a 40% interest in the Gladstone LNG project to Malaysian oil and gas major PETRONAS. The result also reflected higher oil and gas prices, offset by lower sales volumes and asset impairment charges.
Results Highlights
Sales revenue increased by 11% to a record $2.8 billion. Higher commodity prices were evident across the Santos portfolio, with average realised Australian dollar oil, condensate and natural gas prices increasing by 28%, 20% and 12% respectively. The weaker Australian dollar increased revenue by $64 million compared to last year..... - Web Site

WESTERN AREAS CLARIFICATION - OFFTAKE AGREEMENT
The Board of Western Areas would like to update shareholders with regard to the Company's position after yesterday's news release by Norilsk Nickel Australia Pty Ltd ("NNAu"). NNAu announced that it has placed its Lake Johnston nickel operations on care and maintenance effective from the 16th February. NNAu and Western Areas are parties to the Forrestania Ore Tolling and Concentrate Purchase Agreement ("OTCPA") which was amended by a Deed of Variation, announced by Western Areas on the 16th February.
The terms of the original OTCPA include a take or pay obligation relating to the sale of Flying Fox ore or concentrate. Under the Deed of Variation, Western Areas has the right to toll treat ore until the 1st March and NNAu has a continuing obligation to purchase nickel concentrates from Western Areas under the existing agreement.
NNAu has given notice to Western Areas that the Lake Johnston concentrator plant will no longer accept delivery of nickel ore for toll treatment from 16th February. The suspension of ore deliveries to the Lake Johnston concentrator coincides with the ramp up of the Western Areas' Cosmic Boy nickel concentrator.
NNAu's obligation to take concentrate from Western Areas under the OTCPA is not affected by these events. - Web Site

Investors took scant comfort Wednesday from the government's plans to revive the housing market and overall economy.
Wall Street ended with only modest changes after a steep sell-off Tuesday on worries about the global economy and banks in Eastern Europe. Several moderate rallies unraveLled Wednesday as market indicators hovered around the lows they marked in November.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 5 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange. Trading volume came to a light 1.43 billion shares compared with 1.61 billion shares traded Tuesday.
Investors reacted coolly to a $75 billion mortgage relief plan President Barack Obama introduced on Wednesday, which would provide incentives to mortgage lenders to help borrowers reduce their payments.
Plunging home values are at the center of the 14-month-old recession, which has been one of the most severe in decades. The announcement came a day after Obama signed into law a $787 billion economic stimulus plan.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday sharply downgraded its projections for the country's economic performance this year, predicting the economy will actually shrink and unemployment will rise. Under the new projections, the unemployment rate will rise to between 8.5 and 8.8 percent this year. The old forecasts, issued in mid-November, predicted the jobless rate would rise to between 7.1 and 7.6 percent.
The Fed also believes the economy will contract this year between 0.5 and 1.3 percent. The old forecast said the economy could shrink by 0.2 percent or expand by 1.1 percent.
Crude oil eased for a second day on speculation that a government report tomorrow will show U.S. supplies climbed for the 19th time in 21 weeks as the recession cuts demand.
Copper rose for a second time in the past three sessions in New York after a drop in stockpiles monitored by the London Metal Exchange.
Gold rose for a second straight day on speculation the recession will deepen, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as a haven asset. Silver also gained.

Listing of Gold Assets & North Queensland Update
Listing of Gold Assets
In order to facilitate the rapid development of Kagara's substantial gold assets, the Company intends to incorporate a new subsidiary company, Mungana Goldmines Pty Ltd, which will acquire the rights to gold within Kagara's north Queensland tenements and subject to compliance with ASX requirements, apply for listing on the ASX.
Amongst other assets, Mungana Goldmines will acquire the right to an inferred resource of 1.6 million ounces of gold, 90,000 tonnes of copper and 14 million ounces of silver contained within the Red Dome and Mungana porphyry gold deposits, located near Chillagoe in far north Queensland and summarised below......
North Queensland Update
Kagara wishes to update the market on the effect of flooding on its north Queensland operations. To date, the processing plants at Thalanga and Mt Garnet have sufficient stockpiles of ore to enable processing of ore until the beginning of March. Trucking of copper concentrate for shipping overseas and delivery of zinc concentrate to the Sun Metals refinery have been delayed but not materially affected, as detailed in the ASX release dated 6 February.
Currently the road from the mining operations at Balcooma is closed to heavy haulage as is the road from Mungana to Mt Garnet. The roads have been closed for 36 of the last 50 days. If the roads remain closed to traffic beyond the end of the month, the Thalanga operations will temporarily cease processing in early March and processing of polymetallic ore at the Mt Garnet site will continue but at a reduced throughput. To date, copper and zinc production is ahead of budget and these floods, although severe, are not expected to have a significant impact on overall copper and zinc production for the financial year.
Kagara is liaising with the Main Roads Department to progress the re-opening of the roads as soon as possible. Shareholders will be kept informed of any significant developments. - Web Site

Media Release: Share Purchase Plan and Exploration Update
$818,000 SPP PROCEEDS TO ADD TO MINOTAUR'S $7M JV EXPLORATION COMMITMENTS IN 2009
A Share Purchase Plan (SPP) by Minotaur Exploration Ltd (ASX code: "MEP") has raised $818,000 before expenses for additional exploration and project development in 2009.
The Plan proceeds are in addition to $7 million in planned exploration expenditure for calendar 2009, by Minotaur's joint venture partners and in which Minotaur remains project operator.
The Company's Directors announced today that 4,544,577 shares at 18 cents per share would be issued under the provisions of the SPP with 289 shareholders participating.
The majority of proceeds raised pursuant to the SPP will be directed towards developing non joint venture projects which are currently wholly funded by Minotaur.
These include advancing the Company's exploration program, the high-quality Poochera Kaolin project on SA's west coast and the Tunkillia gold projects within SA's Gawler Craton.
Earlier this month, Minotaur announced that it had more than doubled the Inferred Resource at Poochera's Carey's Well deposit to 20 million tonnes of "bright white" kaolinised granite and that a pilot plant for treating the kaolin is to be commissioned. ......
Chilean exit
Minotaur also announced today that due to its invigorated focus on its flagship Australian and selected overseas projects, Directors had elected to scale-back some overseas work. As a result, Minotaur had terminated its joint venture arrangement covering the Buenaventura copper project in Chile. - Web Site

CONTINUITY OF COPPER - MOLYBDENUM MINERALISATION DEMONSTRATED BY DRILLING RESULTS BETWEEN THE NAYAM AND MISILI PROSPECTS, SIMUKU
All assay results have now been received from Coppermoly's first phase of drilling at the Simuku Project (4,194m completed in fifteen diamond core holes).
Drill hole SMD26 intersected 282m grading 0.58% copper equivalent* from 18m downhole at the Nayam Prospect (0.45% copper, 64 ppm molybdenum, 0.07g/t gold and 2.0g/t silver).
Approximately 1,000m further to the south at the Misili Prospect, drill hole SMD30 intersected 84m grading 0.56% copper equivalent*, from 12m downhole (including 18m grading 0.87% copper equivalent*).
These results, together with twenty two other drillholes at and between the Nayam and Misili Prospects, confirm widespread copper mineralisation up to 364m depth, over an area of more than 1,100m by 500m (see Table 1).
Trenching results are expected to help demonstrate the continuity of surface mineralisation, once compiled,
The first resource estimation at Simuku is being undertaken at and between the Nayam and Misili Prospects. It will cover about one third of the porphyry style mineralisation that is present discontinuously over an area about 4.5km by 1.0km (Figure 1).
Peter Swiridiuk (Managing Director) commented "These latest results will help us establish a substantial initial resource at Simuku. It is quite rare to find large copper – molybdenum mineralised systems only one hour's drive from a functioning deep water port and essential services. There also remain zones of high grade molybdenum mineralisation yet to be fully tested by drilling".- Web Site

Stocks fell to within striking distance of the November bear-market low on Tuesday, as grim manufacturing data signalled the recession is worsening and warnings on risks facing European banks underscored the continuing toll of the financial crisis.
Financial stocks sank to 14-year lows after Moody's Investors Service said banks could be hit by the recession in Eastern Europe, pulling the S&P Financial index down 8%.
Data showing a sharp contraction in Japan's economy set the tone early in the day and helped pull oil prices down nearly 7% to below $35 a barrel.
The day's losses brought the Dow down 13.9% since the start of the year, while the S&P 500 is down 12.6% and the Nasdaq has fallen 6.7%.
Trading was moderate on the New York Stock Exchange, with about 1.61 billion shares changing hands, above last year's estimated daily average of 1.49 billion, while on Nasdaq, about 2.38 billion shares traded, above last year's daily average of 2.28 billion.
Declining stocks outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 2,895 to 218 while decliners beat advancers on the Nasdaq by about 2,280 to 399.
Copper prices tumbled the most in more than three months on signs that slumping global growth is slashing demand for the metal used in pipes and wires.
Gold jumped to more than $975 an ounce, the highest price since July, on speculation that massive government spending will devalue currencies, boosting the appeal of precious metals as a store of value. Silver and platinum also rose.

ASSAY RESULTS FROM RADIO HILL
Pilbara-based nickel developer, Fox Resources (ASX: FXR), has today announced more encouraging assay results from its Radio Hill project near Karratha.
The latest results are from a near mine sampling program at Radio Hill, which is testing unsampled mineralisation as part of Fox's strategy to increase the resource base at the project.
Fox Resources Managing Director Bruno Seneque said the majority of drill holes have returned variable to significant intervals of nickel and copper.
"The programme, which is now complete, consisted of geological re-logging and sampling of underground drill holes above and down plunge of the existing mine." Mr Seneque said.
"The results from these early holes confirm the presence of extensive nickel and copper disseminated mineralisation, and will be used to construct an updated resource model of the deposit."
The full assay results are tabulated below, and include underground drill hole UGD130 which intersected 6 metres @ 1.27% Ni and 1.82% Cu.
Fox has also commenced a similar geological re-logging and sampling program of surface drill holes down plunge of the mine.
As part of Fox's exploration strategy, a drilling program has commenced to delineate coherent higher grade zones immediately down plunge of Radio Hill within the mineralised trend previously reported. The drilling program is being managed by Newexco Services utilising premier drilling company DDH1.
Fox is aiming to resume concentrate production at Radio Hill, subject to market conditions, by the end of 2009. - Web Site

Stewart-1 Sidetrack Update
The original Stewart-1well reached a total depth of 11,922 feet on the 7th of June 2008. After running wireline logs, it was found that the targeted turbidite channels were not developed at that location. Subsequent seismic reprocessing utilizing data captured in the logging of the Stewart-1 well indicated seismic anomalies 900 feet north of the bottom hole location having A.C.N. 009 230 835 characteristics of the missed channel sand package. Members of the joint venture agreed to proceed with sidetracking of the well resulting in Antares increasing its working interest from 26.25% to 49.28%.
After successfully setting the whipstock and milling a window, the Stewart-1 ST began drilling operations on the 15th of February 2009. The well is currently at a depth of 8,600 feet. The preliminary total depth of the well is 11,700 feet. - Web Site

Exploration Update
CONRAD SILVER PROJECT - Malachite is planning to introduce a joint venture partner for Conrad to fund further resource definition and project evaluation, leading on to a feasibility study and, if appropriate, development and operation of a new mine. To this end, an Information Memorandum has been prepared and distributed to more than 20 interested parties. Several of those parties, including both local and overseas groups, have now signed a Confidentiality Agreement and are reviewing Conrad data in detail, while others are yet to indicate their intentions and a few have declined the opportunity. The first site visits will take place in early March.
ELSMORE TIN PROJECT - The bulk samples collected at the Karaula paleo-alluvial tin deposit at Elsmore have now been processed through the cone concentrator (Fig. 2). As expected, the tin contents of these samples vary widely and a selected subset of the concentrates produced will be sent for assay. This will provide a good indication of recoverable tin grades in the Karaula Lead and allow future work to focus on those parts of the Karaula deposit that have the best potential for high grade. Significantly, tin (i.e. cassiterite) grains up to 13mm in size were recovered, confirming that testing larger samples is very desirable to reduce the "nugget effect" of such large grains.
A further bulk sample of approximately 250kg has also been prepared for despatch to the University of Aachen in Germany, where an interesting new dry processing technology is being developed. Malachite's sample will be tested to assess the potential for this technology to open up a fast, low cost route to production at Elsmore.
DELUNGRA TIN PROJECT - As reported in the December 2008, Quarterly Report, which can be viewed at: [http://www.malachite.com.au/pdf/quarterly/MAR%20-%20Quarterly%20Activity%20Report%20December%2008%20150108.pdf], Malachite has identified a promising new tin prospect at Swinton, within the Delungra exploration licence, west of Inverell. An initial soil geochemical program at Swinton delineated an area measuring roughly 400m x 200m (Fig. 3) where tin in soil values are highly anomalous, comparable with, if not greater than, typical soil values of the Karaula deposit at Elsmore. The highest soil tin assay result so far at Swinton is 1,700ppm Sn (or roughly 3-3.5kg of Sn per cubic metre, which is a very good grade for unconsolidated material) and the tin anomaly is open to the northwest and to the southwest (Fig. 3). A new soil sampling program has commenced, aimed at extending and better delineating this very encouraging anomaly.
The Company plans to apply the cone concentrator that it used on the Karaula Lead samples (Fig. 2) to assess very quickly whether there is scope to recover payable tin from surface materials at Swinton.
As there is no significant outcrop in the anomalous area at Swinton, it is expected that trenching of the most promising parts of the anomaly will take place in the near future, allowing evaluation of the underlying bedrock, which is the assumed source of the anomalous tin. Depending on the results from the additional soil geochemistry and trenching, reconnaissance drilling could take place around the middle of the year. - Web Site

Closed - Presidents Day.
World stock markets fell Monday, after new figures showed Japan's economy contracted at its quickest pace in 35 years and a weekend summit of Group of Seven finance ministers provided few concrete proposals to counter the economic crisis.
Drops in Europe followed losses in Asia, but trading volumes were subdued as U.S. markets remained closed for Presidents Day. European shares fell, pressured by losses for financials as investors continued to fret about the health of the banking sector.
Crude oil traded below $37 a barrel in New York on speculation a recession in the world's largest economies will stifle demand for fuel.
Global lead output exceeded demand last year for the first time since 2002 and the surplus in zinc widened, according to the International Lead and Zinc Study Group.
Gold was steady in London.

Drilling Ahead at Jumonville No.2
Jumonville #2 Bullseye Prospect, Iberville Parish, Louisiana, Non Operator 6.67% WI*
The Company is pleased to advise that Intermediate casing has been successfully set in the Jumonville #2 well and the well is drilling ahead at 10,920 feet.
The drilling program continues as planned and is running close to budget although several days behind the original schedule due to additional time needed to set the intermediate casing. Total depth is planned for approximately 14,200ft. The Jumonville #2 well commenced drilling operations on 25 December 2008.
The Jumonville #2 well targets three objectives: the Camerina, Miogyp and Cib Haz Formations. The primary target in the Jumonville #2 well is the deeper Cib Haz reservoir which is contained in the same hydrocarbon trap as the shallower productive intervals. - Web Site

Four Rivers Project Operational Update
The first exploration test (Weyerhaeuser 23-5 No.1 in the Copper River prospect) in the Four Rivers Project reached total depth of 2,900 feet and has been logged. The well intersected 20 feet of net natural gas pay in the Wilcox formation. Evaluation of the well log and relevant seismic data indicates that the intersection is structurally low relative to the target formation. As a result it has been decided to plug and abandon the well and to drill a second well into the same prospect at a structurally higher location. It is expected that this will maximise the likelihood of intersecting all potentially productive Wilcox sand intervals with one well bore. The well will be drilled following the completion of permitting and site preparation.
Drilling of the second scheduled well in the Four Rivers Project, the Weyerhaeuser 8-14 No.1 in the Sandy River prospect has commenced. This well is also targeting a shallow Wilcox anomaly to a target depth of 3,200 feet. Drilling and logging of the well is expected to be completed in the coming week. - Web Site

Major Restructure of Norilsk Nickel Offtake Agreement
The Board of Western Areas is pleased to announce that it has executed an agreement with Norilsk Nickel Australia Pty Ltd ("NNAu") to restructure the existing Ore Tolling and Concentrate Purchase Agreement ("OTCPA") relating to Western Areas' 100% owned Forrestania Nickel Project. The Board considers that this restructure will have a significant and positive impact on Western Areas' future activities and provide additional flexibility to enable the Company to achieve its growth plans.
Western Areas has agreed to terminate its right to toll treat ore at NNAu's Lake Johnston concentrate plant from 1 March 2009 in exchange for an option for Western Areas to remove up to 100% of the Flying Fox concentrate product from the OTCPA. If Western Areas does not elect to remove Flying Fox product from the OTCPA then the Company will continue to sell nickel concentrate to NNAu under the existing terms of the OTCPA. In this event NNAu will continue to buy nickel concentrate produced from Western Areas' Cosmic Boy nickel concentrator. The new agreement with NNAu has been approved by Western Areas' main financiers, ANZ Bank. ......- Web Site
Cosmic Boy Concentrator Ramp Up On Track
The Board of Western Areas is pleased to announce the Cosmic Boy nickel concentrate plant has processed first ore and is on track to ramp up to steady state production by the end of February. The plant has a target throughput of approximately 300,000tpa ore and has been designed to allow for future expansion. The crushing circuit, conveyor system, filtration unit and concentrate storage facilities have capacity in built well above that required at this stage.
Western Areas Managing Director, Mr Julian Hanna, said that the Cosmic Boy plant has been built on time and on budget. .... - Web Site
