Wall Street ended another unforgiving month with a steep loss -- one that left the Dow Jones industrial average at less than half its record high.
The day's news unsettled investors. Citigroup Inc. agreed to turn over a big piece of itself to the government, a move that fanned worries that other banks would face crippling trouble with bad debt. General Electric Co. slashed its quarterly dividend by 68 percent. Both companies are part of the Dow Jones industrial average, which fell 119 points.
Citigroup said before the opening bell that it agreed to a deal in which the U.S. government and private investors including the government of Singapore and Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal will convert their preferred stock in the struggling bank to common shares. The plan won't require additional money from the U.S. government, which holds an 8 percent stake in Citigroup and would own 36 percent. Citi fell 96 cents, or 39 percent, to $1.50 as investors worried about how much their holdings in the company would be diluted by the changes.
Two stocks fell for every one that advanced on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume came to a heavy 2.25 billion shares.
And the government's gross domestic product report showed that the economy fell at a 6.2 percent annual pace at the end of last year, a much faster than expected pace.
The market's stats once again showed how troubled Wall Street and the economy are:
-- The Dow, at its lowest close since May 1, 1997, is now down 50.1 percent from its record high of 14,164.53 reached in October 2007. It came within 34 points of 7,000, a level it hasn't fallen below since October 1997.
-- The Standard & Poor's 500 index breached its Nov. 21 trading low of 741.02, which came during the height of the credit crisis. Friday's finish was the lowest for the index since Dec. 18, 1996.
-- The Dow's 11.7 percent loss in February was its worst since 1933, when it fell 15.6 percent, and its sixth straight monthly drop. The half-year slide totals 38.8 percent, the worst since 1932, when it fell 45 percent.
The S&P 500 index fell 11 percent for the month. It was the second-worst February for the index, topped only by an 18.4 percent slide in 1933. It was the index's fifth monthly drop in six months; it managed a slender gain of 0.8 percent in December.
-- The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 index, which reflects nearly all stocks traded in America, lost 10.3 percent for the month, its worst slump since October. That's a paper loss of $1 trillion. Since its October 2007 peak, the Wilshire 5000 is down 52.7 percent, or $10.4 trillion.
Crude oil and industrial metals fell in New York and London after the U.S. economy shrank the most since 1982, reducing demand from the world's biggest energy user and second-largest copper buyer.
Copper fell, snapping four days of gains, on renewed concern demand will drop as fresh data showed the global recession is deepening.
Gold fell, capping the first weekly loss in three, as the US dollar strengthened to the highest level since April 2006, eroding the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment.

North Queensland Update
As highlighted on the 18 February ASX release, the continued processing of ore at Thalanga and Mt Garnet was dependant on the roads being open to heavy haulage by the end of the month. All roads remain closed and as a result processing of ore at Thalanga and Mt Garnet will be suspended between 2 and 6 March depending on ore stockpiles at the respective sites, and unfortunately as a result the staff at all operations will be stood down for a period of two weeks.
At present, 31,000 tonnes of ore grading 17% zinc, 2.3% copper and 1.4% lead is stockpiled at Mungana and approximately 15,000 tonnes of ore grading 8% zinc is available for blending at Mt Garnet. The decision has been made not to mine and process any further polymetallic ore from Mt Garnet until the high grade Mungana feed is available. At Balcooma, 121,000 tonnes grading 2.5% copper ore is stockpiled. The current run of mine stockpiles are sufficient for two months of copper production and one month of polymetallic production and consequently mining operations will also be temporarily suspended over the same two week period.
The impact of this stoppage on production is yet to be fully quantified but all processing plants have the ability to process ore at a much higher rate than budgeted and a significant proportion of this delayed production is expected to be recouped.
The roads have now been closed 42 out of the last 56 days and Kagara has offered plant equipment and material to the shires and main roads to expedite the lifting of the heavy haulage restrictions. Weather permitting, we are planning to recommence production on the 18 March. - Web Site

OZ Minerals secures approval from banking syndicate
OZ Minerals is delighted to advise the market that it has today secured the approval of its financiers,
subject to the completion of necessary documentation, to extend the terms of its debt arrangements to 31
March 2009 and therefore expects to satisfy the second of the two Pre-Conditions in the Scheme
Implementation Agreement covering the Minmetals' all cash offer for OZ Minerals, as outlined in the
Company's announcement of 16 February.
"This outcome represents a significant step in the process of delivering this transaction to OZ Minerals'
shareholders for their final decision," said OZ Minerals Managing Director and CEO Andrew Michelmore.
"The proposed transaction remains subject to regulatory review and satisfaction of the other Conditions
Precedent, as detailed in our earlier announcement."
As stipulated in the remaining conditions outlined in the Scheme Implementation Agreement, OZ Minerals
will now continue work with its financiers to secure their consent, by 1 April, to extend the financing
facilities until after implementation of the Scheme of Arrangement.
Other conditions precedent to the Scheme, as detailed in the 16 February announcement, remain to be met and both parties continue to work towards their satisfaction. - Web Site
OZ Minerals completes debt extension
Further to our earlier announcement today in relation to OZ Minerals securing approval to extend its debt arrangements OZ Minerals can now confirm that all necessary documentation to extend the terms of its debt arrangements to 31 March 2009 have been executed.
In achieving this extension OZ Minerals has now satisfied the second of the two Pre-Conditions in the Scheme Implementation Agreement covering the Minmetals' all cash offer for OZ Minerals, as outlined in the Company's announcement of 16 February. - Web Site
First production from Prominent Hill copper-gold operation

PANORAMIC PURCHASES BRILLIANT MINING’S 25% INTEREST IN THE LANFRANCHI NICKEL PROJECT
Panoramic Resources Limited is pleased to announce that it has agreed to purchase the 25% holding in the Lanfranchi Project held by its Canadian based, TSXV listed joint venture partner Brilliant Mining Corp., bringing Panoramic's ownership of the Lanfranchi Project to 100%. This will consolidate Panoramic as one of Australia's major nickel sulphide miners, increasing shareholders' in-ground nickel resources to over 200,000t Ni contained (using latest published Resource Statements adjusted for mine production from July to December 2008).
Managing Director, Peter Harold, said on signing the agreement, "This is a wonderful outcome for both Panoramic and Brilliant shareholders. By moving to 100% ownership of the Lanfranchi Project, Panoramic receives an instant increase in resources, reserves and production, as well as simplifying administration and management of the Lanfranchi Project. We believe this transaction is also beneficial to Brilliant shareholders who become shareholders in Panoramic, effectively maintaining an interest in Lanfranchi while gaining exposure to our Savannah Project. In our view this is a “win-win” for both parties."
Details of Proposed Purchase
Panoramic will acquire Brilliant’s wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Donegal Resources Pty Ltd, which owns a 25% interest in the Lanfranchi Project. Details of the transaction are as follows:

Increase in Resource for Mount Oxide Copper Project
Perilya Limited (ASX: PEM) is pleased to announce an increase in the mineral resource estimate for the Mount Oxide Copper and Cobalt Project in the Mt Isa region in Queensland to 17.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.3% copper for 224,000 tonnes of contained copper to only 450 metres vertical depth. This represents a 10% increase in contained copper compared to the previous mineral resource announced on 19 February 2008. ...... - Web Site
Half Yearly Results Media Release
Perilya today released its half-yearly financial results for the six months ending 31 December 2008, reporting a loss after tax of $77.2 million after one-off impairments, redundancy costs and write downs totalling $54.7 million. Excluding the effect of these one-off items, the underlying net loss after tax attributable to members of the company was $22.5 million.
The results reflect the challenging period of the past six months that saw US dollar zinc and lead prices fall by 51% and 63% respectively giving rise to Perilya's decision in August 2008 to resize the Broken Hill Operation to focus on a lower production and cost profile...... - Web Site

COSMIC BOY CONCENTRATOR RAMPS UP TO FULL PRODUCTION
The Board of Western Areas is pleased to announce the Cosmic Boy nickel concentrate plant has produced its first nickel concentrate product and has signed off the practical completion certificate with GR Engineering.
Western Areas Managing Director, Mr Julian Hanna, said "the Cosmic Boy concentrator has been built to a high standard which was clearly demonstrated during its commissioning and production ramp up phase.
"The concentrator will operate at a capacity of 300,000 tonnes of ore per annum or 25,000 tonnes per month once it has reached steady state. This is a very important milestone for our Forrestania Project and will provide independence and flexibility to Western Areas by allowing us to optimise nickel recoveries and potentially blend the concentrate for any future offtake partners. This places us in a position to extract the maximum revenue possible from our nickel product, from the mine to the port," said Mr Hanna.
To date the concentrator has produced 800 tonnes of nickel concentrate at an average grade of 15% nickel for approximately 120 tonnes of contained nickel since the commencement of wet commissioning on 14 February (Figure 4). This concentrate will be supplied to Norilsk as part of the existing Ore Tolling and Concentrate Purchase Agreement. ..... - Web Site
FINDINGS OF CORONIAL INQUEST
The attached media release was made by the Beaconsfield Gold Mine today following the release of the findings of the Coronial Inquest into the death of Larry Knight, which occurred at the mine on 25 April 2006.
The Beaconsfield Gold Mine is operated as a joint venture between Beaconsfield Gold NL (48.49% direct interest) ("Beaconsfield Gold") and Allstate Explorations NL (51.51% direct interest) ("Allstate").
Prior to February 2007 the Beaconsfield Gold Mine was directly operated and managed by Allstate with Beaconsfield Gold having no representation on the Allstate board of directors. It was only after February 2007 that Allstate became a subsidiary of Beaconsfield Gold.
The new mining method, which the Coroner said was accepted by all stakeholders as "best practice", was introduced into the mine in December 2007.......

FIRST OIL FLOWS FROM MAARI FIELD
Horizon Oil is pleased to announce that the Maari Oil Field development passed a significant milestone today, with oil flowing for the first time to the permanent production facilities.
The first oil production well, the MR3P8, which was completed for production on 22 January 2009 has now been hooked-up to the production facilities and is flowing oil to the FPSO Raroa. - Web Site
HORIZON OIL (HZN): MAARI DEVELOPMENT DRILLING UPDATE - 25 Feb 09
Horizon Oil Limited advises further good progress on the development drilling program since the last drilling update provided to shareholders on 23 January 2009. In that update it was reported that the first oil production well, the MR3P8, had been successfully drilled and equipped for production. The MR3P8 has now been hooked up to the production facilities and final preparations are underway to flow first oil to the FPSO Raroa.
Since the last update, the second production well, the MR4P9, was drilled to a depth of 1,950 m and 10-3/4" casing run to 1,946 m. The Ensco 107 rig was then skidded to the third production well location, the MR5P12, the well drilled to a depth of 2,090 m and 10-3/4" intermediate casing set at 2,085 m. At this point, the mud system was changed from water-based to synthetic oil-based and the rig skidded back to the MR4P9 slot.
The 9-½" horizontal section of the MR4P9 was drilled to a total measured depth of 4,323 m. The lower completion assembly consisting of wire-wrapped screens was successfully installed in the horizontal section, of which over 2,000 m was good quality, oil-filled reservoir. Subsequently the upper completion assembly was run on 6-5/8" tubing and the heat-tube installed. The MR4P9 will now be hooked up to the production facilities, prior to commencing production to the FPSO scheduled for the second week of March.....- Web Site

Update on Drilling Programs - South Australia and Canada
The Directors of Minotaur Exploration (ASX:MEP) are pleased to announce results from recently completed iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) drilling campaigns at the Mabel Creek and Acropolis/Roxby Projects in South Australia, and the first target drilled in Nova Scotia, Canada.
In particular, excellent indicators of iron oxide style mineralisation have been encountered for the first time at the Aphrodite Target on the Acropolis/Roxby Project.....
Acropolis /Roxby Project
The first drill hole at the Aphrodite gravity anomaly (AS09D03) was successfully completed to a depth of 804 m (Figure 2). Basement was intersected at 671 m. The basement granitic rocks display moderate red-rock alteration due to dispersed submicroscopic haematite grains and widespread sericitic alteration, especially near a number of thin brecciated shear zones.
More significantly, the granitic bedrock is cut by a number of thin brecciated haematite veins as well as late-stage calcite-dolomite veins (Figures 3, 4). Minor copper mineralisation is present within haematite veins as chalcopyrite and within calcite-dolomite veins as bornite. Alteration is consistent with Mesoproterozoic IOCG-style alteration regionally present at Olympic Dam, Acropolis and Wirrda Well. Such veining is suggestive of a mineralised system in the vicinity.
The source of the 6 kilometre-long Aphrodite gravity anomaly has not been explained.
Further infill gravity surveys and drilling are envisaged, following meetings with joint venture partner, JOGMEC.
Nova Scotia - Canada
In Canada, results from the first target (NS05) drilled in the central Nova Scotia Project with Dundee Precious Metals provide encouragement for continued exploration for iron oxide-style mineralisation along this belt. Strong alteration and sulphidation were encountered along the target granite margin, but the dominant sulphide type was pyrite...... - Web Site

Health insurers and drug companies, some of the better performers on Wall Street lately, led the market lower Thursday after the White House proposed cutting payments to private insurance plans.
The Obama administration's $3.55 trillion budget plan for 2010 includes cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Private insurance plans serving Medicare seniors would take the biggest hit, but hospitals, drug manufacturers and home health agencies also face cuts.
As investors became aware of the impact that the budget, if enacted, could have on the companies, they turned against what had been one of the strongest industries in the stock market recently.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 8 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 6.48 billion shares, down from Wednesday's 7.29 billion.
Crude oil rose more than $2 a barrel and gasoline surged to a three-month high after U.S. stockpiles of the motor fuel dropped.
Copper rose to the highest price in more than two weeks on speculation that government spending in the U.S. and China will spur a rebound in metals demand.
Gold fell in New York for a fourth straight day, the longest slide in a month, on speculation equities will rebound, reducing the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver sank the most in 12 weeks.

Warro-3 Drilling Update
EP 321 and EP407 Western Australia
The onshore Warro Gas Field straddles the boundary between the two exploration permits EP 321 and EP 407 within the Perth Basin, Western Australia. Carnarvon Petroleum has an overriding royalty interest (ORRI) of 2.5% of net well head value from any production within these permits. Such an interest is free of all drilling and development costs.
The Warro-3 appraisal well is currently being drilled by operator Latent Petroleum with its joint venture partners Alcoa and Transerv Energy. Today Transerv released the following update.
"Transerv advises that drilling of the Warro #3 appraisal well has reached a depth of 3,669 metres and is currently in the process of running and setting 9 5/8 inch casing. The well is expected to commence drilling into the top of the reservoir interval from 3,800 meters.
The Warro #3 well encountered 3 gas shows whilst drilling between 3,035 and 3,134 metres. These shows combined with the results of geophysical logs in Warro #3 provide a positive correlation to the shows experienced whilst drilling the earlier Warro 1 and 2 wells. While these shows are of secondary importance to the main target interval below 3,800 metres, they support the geological model and provide a strong indication of the continuity of the structure that forms the Warro Gas Field.
The drilling of Warro #3 well is on target to reach its planned total depth of 4,375m by mid March. This will be followed by a further 35-40 days to complete the fracture stimulation program on the target gas zones to establish flow rates. - Web Site

Additional Reefs Planned in 2009
23 February 2009: Brisbane, Australia - Citigold Corporation Limited (Citigold) (ASX:CTO, NASDAQ Dubai:CTO, FSE:CHP) is pleased to detail further advances at it's Charters Towers Gold Project.
Highlights include:
In the announcement Citigold's Managing Director, Mr Mark Lynch, commented that "a gold equity, such as Citigold, has more leverage than gold itself, because it is backed by its gold deposit asset, a low cost of production and a long mine life. If you buy an ounce of gold, that's all you get. A gold mine equity can produce cash profits from extracting the gold from the ground where most of the value is added to the gold. A large gold deposit with a long life and low cost to mine has the potential to return substantial amounts of cash back to its shareholders during the life of the mine."

Bullseye Drilling Update - Mudlog Show
Jumonville #2 Bullseye Prospect, Iberville Parish, Louisiana, Non Operator 6.67% WI*
The Company is pleased to advise that the Jumonville # 2 well is presently at 12,130 ft and will be setting casing as originally planned after running logs.
Mud logs have indicated hydrocarbon potential between 11,742 ft and 11,752 ft in the Marg Vag. The Marg Vag is the first sand in the sequence of potential productive intervals in addition to the three main objectives that may have commercial relevance as indicated by the mud logs.
The drilling program continues as planned. Certain operational delays have added to the drilling time along with the commensurate costs. Total depth is planned for approximately 14,200 ft. The Jumonville #2 well commenced drilling operations on 25 December 2008.
The Jumonville #2 well targets three main 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. Although deeper than the proven Miogyp reservoir and apparent pay in the Camerina section, it is considered to have a high probability of success, but is considered an exploration target since it has yet to be tested. In addition, the Jumonville # 2 well will penetrate the Miogyp updip from the oil production in the Jumonville # 1 well, providing additional confirmation of pay thickness and distribution of this reservoir.
* QPN will have a 5% working interest following back in rights of the project vendor. - Web Site

SELH 2-13 Testing Program
Overview of the Testing Program
The Company is pleased to announce that a testing program has commenced at the Jack Hamar 2-13 well at the Southeast Lost Hills (SELH) Project on a potential gas interval between 1,850 ft to 1,857 ft with the objective of bringing any commercial gas discoveries from this target zone into production.
This shallow interval was identified when the well was drilled and tested in March 2008.
The program is expected to take less than a week to complete. Quests share of costs is expected to be around US$32,500 and if successful the facilities on location will enable immediate commercialisation of the gas sales into the pipeline and commensurate increase in project revenue.
Update on Gas Production
Total gas sales up to 25 February 2009 was 8.2 million cubic feet from the Jack Hamar 3-13 well which commenced producing gas on 5 December 2008 (cumulative production to date is 25.8 million cubic feet). As at 25 February 2009, the average daily gas sales in February were 330 mcf with wellhead pressure of about 900 psi.
Quest Petroleum has a 50% working interest in the 3-13 well. - Web Site

Wall Street ended a choppy session with a loss, but showed its resilience as investors heard answers to some of their big questions about banks.
The major indexes closed down about 1 percent Wednesday after recovering from steeper losses early in the day, continuing the volatile trading that has buffeted the market this week.
Declining issues narrowly outnumbered advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.22 billion shares.
rude oil rose more than $2 a barrel in New York to the highest close in four weeks after a government report showed that U.S. gasoline supplies dropped as demand strengthened and refineries cut operating rates.
Copper climbed for the third straight day on heightened optimism that government spending will unlock credit markets and revive the economy.
Zinc climbed the most in two weeks on the London Metal Exchange after China's stockpiling agency bought metal from domestic smelters, reducing supply.
Gold fell for a third straight day after U.S. policy makers reassured investors that the economy will recover from the recession, eroding the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also slid.

Paulsens Operation performance
PAULSENS GOLD MINE ACHIEVES A$1000 OZ CASH MARGIN.
25 February 2009: Intrepid Mines Limited (ASX: IAU; TSX: IAU, IXN) (the Company) is pleased to report that its Western Australian gold mine, Paulsens, continues to improve production and contain costs. The operation achieved a cash margin of A$1,000 an ounce last week.
In the eight weeks since 1 January 2009, the Paulsens mine has produced 15,000 ounces of gold and it is on track to produce more than 20,000 ounces in the March 2009 quarter.
Intrepid CEO, Brad Gordon, today said that with the increase in recent weeks in the Australian denominated gold price to A$1,550 an ounce, the Paulsens mine had achieved a cash margin of A$1,000 an ounce.
A combination of factors, including the rise in the Australian dollar gold price, the closeout of our hedging position last year which means we get full value for our production, and a lift in production grades towards 12 grams per tonne allowed us to achieve a margin of $1,000 an ounce last week.
For an underground gold mine to have achieved such a strong performance albeit for a week is, I believe, exceptional and a very rare occurrence indeed.
The gold price is out of our hands and whether we can maintain such margins is still to be seen, so the focus for the operations team at Paulsens remains on safe and efficient gold production.
Our December quarter production costs of US$407 place us among the lowest third of world gold producers in relation to production costs.
As the Companys year end results show, we are in a sound financial position, with US$14.2 million cash in the bank as at 24 February 2009, and no debt or hedging.
With the recent increase in gold prices, and more recently silver prices, the Companys major development assets - the Casposo gold/silver project in Argentina and our copper/gold/silver Tujuh Bukit project in Indonesia - continue to grow in potential. - Web Site

Strong Cash Flow Highlight of Half Year Results
Australian oil explorer and producer, Stuart Petroleum Limited (ASX Code:STU), today released its results for the half year ending 31 December 2008.
The results highlight the strength of the Company in generating cash from Cooper/Eromanga Basin crude oil sales ($30 million) and cash realised from the sale of hedges ($12 million).
Since the end of the half year, the Company has sold its remaining commodity hedge position, adding an additional $1.3 million to cash realised on the sale of its hedges. This amount, along with the $12 million previously realised, has been applied to further debt reduction.
Half Year Results
The Company highlighted its strong cash generating position at the same time as announcing a net loss after tax of $26 million for the half year, reflecting the expensing of costs of the Bazzard-1 exploration well in Vic P53 drilled during the half year and the impairment write-down of Cooper/Eromanga Basin assets caused by lower oil prices in the latter part of 2008.
Production of 183,000 barrels of oil for the half year was 36% down on the previous corresponding period, reflecting natural field decline and disruptions caused by rain and mechanical equipment failure.
Oil prices averaged A$96.96 per barrel during the December half year, a 7.3% decrease on the previous corresponding period.
The Company's net debt at 31 December 2008 was A$12 million.
Outlook
Cooper/Eromanga Basin cash flows are forecast to remain strong based on the Company's existing oil fields which continue to produce as forecast.
Surplus cash will fund the Company's portfolio of growth projects, particularly the Oliver appraisal and development project and the Port Bonython Fuels project; and reduce debt.
The Company restated its full year production forecast of 350,000 barrels of oil. - Web Site

Stocks jump as Fed Chairman says recession could end this year; no plan to nationalize banks
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave Wall Street a double dose of reassurance. Now it's President Barack Obama's turn.
Bernanke told Congress on Tuesday the recession might end this year, and that regulators aren't planning to nationalize banks. The news alleviated some of investors' worries about the economy and the banking industry, and lifted the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 index off their lowest levels since 1997.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 6 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 7.09 billion shares, compared with Monday's 6.35 billion.
Crude oil rose for the first time in three days as the U.S. stock market advanced, signaling that fuel use in the world's biggest energy-consuming country may rebound.
Copper rose the most in more than two weeks in New York as a rebound in U.S. equity indexes revived optimism for metals demand.
Gold fell the most in six weeks as demand ebbed following a rally last week that sent the precious metal above $1,000 an ounce. Silver also declined.

NACHINGWEA 2008 REGIONAL EXPLORATION RESULTS
IMX Resources Ltd (ASX:IXR) is pleased to report that final assay results have been received from the remaining 10 regional exploration holes drilled during the 2008 exploration programme at the Nachingwea nickel sulphide JV project in Tanzania. The project is a 30:70 Joint Venture between IMX Resources (‘IMX') and TSXV listed Continental Nickel Limited (‘CNI‘), in which IMX has a substantial 47.3% shareholding.
Ten holes for 2,183 metres were drilled testing new targets identified from VTEM surveys on two regional areas outside of the Ntaka Intrusion during the field 2008 season.
At the Lihonja target, ultramafic rocks were intersected in five of the seven holes drilled with anomalous nickel and copper up to 0.54% and 0.18% respectively, intersected. Follow up downhole EM (BHEM) surveys detected a large and strongly conductive EM anomaly below the depth of current drilling, which will be tested during the 2009 field season. Three holes drilled at the Mbuti target intersected graphite-bearing metasedimentary rocks which explain the conductive targets. - Web Site

BEACH PETROLEUM MORE THAN DOUBLES FIRST HALF PROFIT CONFIRMING UNDERLYING EARNINGS STRENGTH
The underlying strength of Beach Petroleum Limited's (ASX Code: BPT), expanding oil and gas operations is reflected in a more than doubling of net profit after tax announced today for the six months ended 31 December 2008.
In a striking performance, Beach's net profit after tax jumped 117% to a record $127.5 million from $58.8 million in the previous corresponding opening half.
By excluding the gains from commodity hedging and write-off adjustments from the latest first half profit, the strength of Beach's normalised profit is further highlighted - up 142% to $52 million compared with the previous corresponding period.
The profit hike was achieved with further strong growth in total revenue, up 41% from $340 million to a record $480 million, while higher oil and gas sales of 5.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) and surging oil and gas production of 5.0 mmboe were also first half records for Beach.
The Company's shareholders registered on 31 March 2009 will be paid a steady interim dividend of 0.75 cents per share by late April 2009....
Outlook
Mr Kennedy said while the current global economic uncertainty did not look like subsiding quickly, Beach Directors believed the Company was in an excellent position to withstand some of the issues facing the Australian economy, and the petroleum industry generally.
"With assets that generate good cash flow and a sound balance sheet, Beach is in a position to look for opportunities that may come to light in the current environment, while continuing to exploit the exploration opportunities within the Company's current suite of assets," he said.
"Beach will continue to do what it is good at; finding and developing oil and gas projects, while at the same time continuing to manage the business with sound judgement and conservatism and striving to maintain the strong position the Company currently enjoys, particularly in these uncertain times.
"Our Board strongly believes that the current low oil price environment is a temporary one and that the mid to long term will see a return to higher oil prices."
Coal seam gas assets - potential sale
Beach also today advised that it had sought expressions of interest from third parties for a potential sale of part or all of the Company's Tipton West coal seam gas and associated assets.
Mr Kennedy said further details of the results of this process were expected to be announced in the coming months...... - Web Site

Progress Report Gordons
SRK Consulting to provide Gordon's Resource Statement
The Directors of Aussie Q Resources Limited (AQR) are pleased to announce that the independent geological consulting group SRK Consulting (SRK) has been contracted to assess the latest drilling data from Gordons and to provide a Resource Statement for the mineralization at Gordons. SRK provided the maiden resource statement for the adjacent Whitewash project area in 2008, and it was decided by the Board that SRK should be given the opportunity to continue their assessment.
Whitewash and Gordons are contiguous mineralized areas within EPM 14628 - 100% AQR. Gordons has been shown to be a different style of mineralization to Whitewash and preliminary exploration has shown that the average molybdenum grade at Gordons is almost twice the average Whitewash grade.
The Company expects that the Gordons resource statement (or an updated Whitewash/Gordons resource figure) will be available by the end of the first quarter 2009. - Web Site

230209 Trident Farmin Clarification
Trident Energy Farmin EP 115 and EPA 111
Enquiries received from various sources have underscored that there is some confusion in the marketplace surrounding the Trident Energy Limited (Trident) Farmin deals announced recently into permit EP 115 and application EPA 111 held by Frontier Oil and Gas Pty Ltd (FOG-a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Petroleum Limited) and conditionally by Petroleum Exploration Australia Limited (PXA) on a 80/20 percent basis.
Trident has agreed to fund a promoted 20% share of a total commitment of $3 million of seismic works and the drilling of 3 wells on each permit (subject to grant in the case of EPA 111) to retain a 10% interest in each permit.
The total cumulative requirement for seismic funding by Trident over both permits is $1.2 million at the promoted 20% level or $0.6 million per permit. 50% of this expenditure relevant to any particular permit is refundable to Trident from any successful production which may eventuate.
The total conditional drilling requirement over both permits on an indicative basis for Trident at the 20% promoted level, depending on the types of wells (whether conventional or non-conventional targets) could range from $2.4 million to $6 million, ie $1.2 million to $3 million on each permit. Trident may cease promoted expenditure at various stages on either permit and provided it is compliant with the seismic works commitment may retain either of a 3.33% or a 6.66% or a 10% participating interest in the relevant permit.
A 10% interest in each permit will be assigned to Trident and registered with the Petroleum Registrar of the Northern Territory as part of the farmin arrangements. Any interest not retained pursuant to expenditure requirements will be returned to FOG. The joint venture status will initially and conditionally be FOG 70%, PXA 20% and Trident 10% over each of the permits......- Web Site

Contact Energy Half Year Results
Drought, deluge and DC constraints impact performance
The winter drought and the summer deluge, combined with transmission constraints, have resulted in extremely challenging trading conditions for Contact, Chief Executive David Baldwin said today.
These external events significantly contributed to a half-year result for the period ended 31 December 2008, wherein Contact achieved Earnings Before Net Interest Expense, Income Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation, Financial Instruments and Other Significant Items (EBITDAF) of $224.7 million, down 20.3 per cent from $281.9 million for the six months to 31 December 2007.
Underlying earnings after tax for the six months to 31 December 2008 were $79.9 million, down 31.2 per cent from $116.1 million for the six months to 31 December 2007.
At the heart of this financial performance was the fact that the mix of generation, which has historically largely insulated Contact's earnings from weather driven volatility, was stymied due to the limitations arising from transmission constraints, primarily (although not solely) due to the loss of pole one of the HVDC...... - Web Site

Wall Street has turned the clock back to 1997. Investors unable to extinguish their worries about a recession that has no end in sight dumped stocks again Monday. The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 251 points to its lowest close since May 7, 1997, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index logged its lowest finish since April 11, 1997.
Investors pounded most financial stocks even as government agencies led by the Treasury Department said they would launch a revamped bank rescue program this week. The plan includes the option of increasing government ownership in financial institutions without having to pour more taxpayer money into them.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 6 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 6.35 billion shares compared with heavy volume of 8.12 billion shares on Friday.
Overseas, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.99 percent, Germany's DAX index fell 1.95 percent, and France's CAC-40 slipped 0.82 percent.
Crude oil fell 4 percent on speculation demand will decline faster than the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is curbing supply. OPEC, the U.S. Energy Department and the International Energy Agency cut their demand forecasts this month because of the recession. U.S. stocks fell for a sixth day, a sign that fuel consumption may drop further.
Copper prices rose for the third time in four sessions after inventories of the metal dropped, raising speculation that demand may rebound.
Gold fell in New York as some investors sold the metal after a rally last week to the highest price since March.

1.6km Enhancement of Resource (up to 79% HM) at Cooljarloo
HIGHLIGHTS
A substantial proportion of the following high grade results occur outside the current Atlas resource model over a strike length of about 1.6km. This indicates the likelihood of a significant increase in both the size and grade of the presently identified resource.
The following high grade results have been achieved from recent drilling on part of the Atlas heavy mineral resource at Cooljarloo:

Exploration Success Continues at Chatree North Mine and Chokdee Gold Project
Recent exploration drilling at the Chatree North Mine has intersected further high grade drill results from surface and, separately, drill results from the Chokdee gold project continue to expand the mineralisation.
Chatree North Gold Mine
At Chatree North, high grade gold drill results have been intersected from resource development drilling within the new A Pit mining area. These results are from the initial drilling in this area from the western side of the A hill in a different orientation which has now been interpreted as the preferred direction.
Best results include:
This confirms the presence of high grade zones in the near-term mining areas on the western side of A Hill at Chatree North. Access to drill the western side was not possible prior to the grant of mining leases and these results should improve the gold head grade of the southern part of the A Hill orebody.
Extensions to the known ore bodies were reported recently from the resource development drilling program. Wide ore-grade drill intersections will extend the current orebody within the Chatree North leases and it is anticipated that resources could significantly increase this year.
Chokdee Gold Project
Regional exploration drilling at the Chokdee Prospect, a very large surface geochemical anomaly about 20 kms north of Chatree, has continued to return significant gold mineralisation over wide intervals, extending the known mineralised zones northward to now cover a strike length of some 750 metres.
Best results from the current drilling are:
