SORRENTO DOME DRILLING UPDATE

The BUL 11-1 (Sidetrack 2) well in Novus' Burlington operated acreage was drilled to a total depth of 9,380ft (2,858m). Gas pay, as determined by LWD electric logs, was encountered in both sidetracks but there was not sufficient thickness of pay to be considered commercial. The main part of the target Marg A sand in sidetrack 2 was water wet. As further potential Marg A traps have been mapped in the vicinity of the BUL 11-1 well, it was decided to temporarily abandon the well bore (rather than permanently plug it) so it could be re-entered to test one or more of those traps. Further technical work is required before any additional drilling will be considered. ASX Announcement

FINANCING FOR BEACONSFIELD GOLD

Memorandum of Understanding with Gold Investors Syndicate

A syndicate of professional investors ("Gold Investors Syndicate") has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Executive Director of Beaconsfield Gold NL ("Beaconsfield Gold"). The Gold Investors Syndicate will provide total funding of $6.5 million in two tranches.

Funding of Activities Necessary for Beaconsfield Gold to Get Out of Receivership

Subject to formal documentation of the heads of agreement set out in the MOU, the Gold Investors Syndicate will pay for all the activities necessary for the Beaconsfield Gold Directors to arrange for the retirement of the Receiver and Manager to Beaconsfield Gold. These activities will include the re-activation of the register of shareholders which has been frozen since the appointment of the Receiver and Manager, the preparation and auditing of the financial accounts for the Beaconsfield Gold group of companies for the 2001 and 2002 financial years, the preparation and printing of annual reports for those years and the holding of annual general meetings of shareholders ("AGM's") for those years to approve the accounts.

The Gold Investors Syndicate will pay directly for all the necessary activities from the first tranche of $0.5 million on the contingent basis that the total of the costs paid will be converted into ordinary, fully-paid Beaconsfield Gold shares at $0.10 per share once the Receiver and Manager has retired. The conversion price of $0.10 per share is less than the last sale price for Beaconsfield Gold shares of $0.23 in June 2001 but is considered fair and commensurate with the risk for the Gold Investors Syndicate ahead of the retirement of the Receiver and Manager.

ANACONDA NICKEL LIMITED

COMMENTS ON DECEMBER QUARTER RESULTS

MEDIA STATEMENT... * Nickel production of 6,852 tonnes was 9% lower than the previous quarter (7,629 tonnes), due to a series of power failures in October and December. The power failures largely resulted from initial design and construction defects in the power plant. A program to correct these defects will commence during a scheduled maintenance shut down in late January. ASX Announcement


ANACONDA NICKEL LIMITED

SECOND QUARTER ACTIVITIES REPORT

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS... Production at Murrin Murrin was 6,852 tonnes of nickel and 474 tonnes of cobalt for the quarter ended 31 December 2002, a slight decrease on the previous quarter. The major issue affecting production was a series of power failures originating from initial plant design and construction deficiencies. In January 2003, a three-day maintenance shut will allow a program of rectification of these deficiencies to commence and the recovery of production to expected levels. Overall plant integrity remains the key operational focus, and completion of the capital programme following the rights issue is essential to delivering sustained improvements in plant performance.

SMC GOLD LIMITED

CLEARER COPY OF CHAIRMAN`S ADDRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The following address was given by Peter Evans, the Chairman of SMC Gold Limited, at the company's Annual General Meeting on the 29th November 2002.... Since year-end, our long awaited return to profitability has been achieved. You will have noticed in our recent quarterly report that we made a profit of $268,000 in the first quarter (and positive cash flow of 624,000) and we confidently expect to be profitable in the December quarter. In fact in October and November we have already reached our first quarter profit. The Far Fanning mine which will cease open cut operation in January or February has been contributing well and we continue to improve our performance at Hadleigh Castle. The ore body is improving in both size and grade as we go lower. The current level, which is 815, has more than 3 times the quantity of gold that was contained on the 890 level 75 metres above. This is leading to a much more profitable operation in what has been a frustrating mine. ASX Announcement or COMPANY WEB SITE
