DRILLING RECOMMENCES AT BROKEN HILL

Gravity Capital Limited ("Gravity") is pleased to announce that it has recommenced drilling on its Broken Hill project. The program will follow on from the three targets drilled before Christmas, two of which gave positive results.

At the Goldfinger target, 18 kilometres south of Broken Hill, results received from one fence of holes drilled at the eastern end were encouraging. Anomalous base metal mineralisation was intersected over significant widths in a favourable rock sequence and the cause of the gravity anomaly is yet to be explained.

The Tip target, located within one kilometre of the Broken Hill line of lode, encountered the anticipated geology but remains untested after drilling difficulties forced the suspension of the second hole.

The planned program is as follows:

A total of up to 3,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling is planned with holes up to 150 metres deep. Progress will be determined by drilling rates and on surface access to the various targets. It is anticipated that the drilling will be completed by the end of February with assay results following soon after.

Also this week, an induced polarisation (IP) survey will be commenced at the Goldfinger target to follow up on the encouraging early drilling results. The survey will cover the full extent of the three kilometre long gravity target with the aim of locating the most significant development of mineralisation along line or below the anomalous zone intersected in the recent drilling.

AUSTRALIA

Icon has applied for two new areas in the Cooper Basin and this application is in the final assessment stage prior to award. Native Title negotiations have delayed this award and are now moving forward.

Native Title negotiations over Authority to Prospect 589P, in the Cooper Basin, are nearing final agreement and when completed will allow Icon to proceed with further work on the Springfield Gas Field where icon drilled its first discovery in 1997.

In Western Australia Icon has executed an agreement with its partners to increase its interest in three blocks, TP 21, WA 331P and WA 432P to 100% and assume operatorship. A new survey to commence in March 2004 of the hydrocarbon seepage areas is planned by GeoScience Australia in Authority to Prospect 331P. Icon plans to conduct a shallow water mini cable seismic survey in the three offshore areas during 2004. One well is planned in WA 331P and WA 432P subject to the interpretation of the new high frequency seismic data.


USA

Icon Oil US LLC (Icon Energy’s wholly owned US subsidiary) is negotiating with three potential farm-in partners to assist in the development of the Bayou Choctaw field in Louisiana.
These negotiations have been proceeding for the past few months and final offers are expected in February/March 2004.

Negotiations for funding Icon’s activities through Mercedis Bancorp have progressed and this financing source is still promising.

The Commodities Index has risen strongly over the past six months and oil and gas prices have firmed, with oil prices consistently above $US 30 per barrel, and gas prices around $US 5.75 having peaked at $US 7.00 in December 2003. The strength of oil and gas prices has translated to stronger interest in the sector from financial institutions in the USA, which has opened up new opportunities to fund development of the Bayou Choctaw field.

The Board remains optimistic the Bayou Choctaw development will proceed and current negotiations are proceeding. - Web Site

UPDATE ON PRODUCTION TESTING OF “WOMBAT- 1” WELL, PEP 157
Onshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria

Lakes Oil N.L. (“LKO”) advises that the Wombat-1 well is currently shut in to allow pressure build-up in the section 1490-1515 metres tested on 29 January 2004. This is standard procedure to allow recording equipment placed in the testing tools at the bottom of the well to record pressure data. From this, it will be possible to estimate skin permeability and reservoir pressure and it can be useful in assessing potential reserves. A similar set of results have been collected from lower down in the hole and are currently being assessed. The pressure recording equipment will be brought to surface late today, 30 January 2004.

DST #5 is the third cased hole DST at the Wombat-1 well in the PEP 157 permit onshore Victoria. DST #5 is over the interval 1490-1515 metres in the Golden Beach Formation sands. These sands are the productive reservoir at the nearby offshore Kipper Field.

The Wombat-1 well is the first well on the Wombat structure and is only 4 kilometres from the Esso-BHP gas pipeline and 15 kilometres from the Longford gas plant.

This will be followed by a test in the Latrobe Formation. The Latrobe is the productive formation in the giant Bass Strait oil and gas fields.

The Wombat Block is located in PEP 157. Lakes Oil has retained a 92.5% interest in the Wombat Block subject to a 5% overriding royalty held by Roma Petroleum N.L.- Web Site

NEW GUINEA GOLD

NEWS RELEASE

Vancouver - January 28, 2004 New Guinea Gold Corporation (the "Company") wishes to announce that its Joint Venture Partner, Vangold Resources Ltd. ("Vangold") has now received biogeochemical and panned concentrate stream survey results conducted at the Feni Island Gold Project in Papua New Guinea.

The tree-bark survey outlined a clearly anomalous, ENE trending zone 700 m long and 150m wide. Importantly, this zone overlies the immediate strike extension of an intense Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly lying coincident with a strong potassic alteration anomaly. Together the anomalies form a zone of about 2000m long (1.2 miles) within which diamond drill hole (1998) Mad 001 returned 188m of 1.20 gm/t Au (bottomed in mineralization at 256m). An announcement regarding the upcoming drill testing of this target is expected shortly.

A tree-bark survey is the only survey (geochemical or geophysical), which accurately defines the exact position of the very high grade Kapit deposit at the nearby Lihir Mine (42 million oz/Au). While a direct comparison of the results defining the bio-geochem anomaly at Feni (ranging up to 42 ppb) with the Lihir bio-geochem results cannot be made it is interesting to note that a biogeochemical value of 10 ppb defined the Lihir gold prospects.

In addition, highly encouraging results from the panned concentrate survey, covering an area of 12 sq. kilometres, have been received. The presence of assay detectable gold, found in most samples, indicates widespread distribution of alluvial gold within and beyond the immediate survey area. Based on an anomalous threshold of 0.1 ppm contained gold, 65 of 81 panned concentrates (81%) are anomalous for gold. Significantly, the results (up to 2020 micrograms Au), demonstrates an abundance of alluvial gold in concentrates from samples taken upstream from the already known Kabang and Mad areas where sub-economic resource estimates for the Kabang prospect are as follows:

• An inferred resource of 4.0 million tonnes at 1.4gAu/t (Bateman Kinhill, 1993); and;
• An unclassified resource of 7.5 million tonnes grading 1.3gAu/t at an unspecified cut-off;
• Or 2.5 million tonnes at a grade of 2.0gAu/t has been calculated (Macmin N.L. (1993).

The recent results from the 10-15m wide Nanum River sampling, upstream from Kabang and Mad, indicates the persistence of a strong gold signature extending well into the yet to be stream sampled central and northern portions of the crater. The company intends to expand sampling into this area shortly once a planned drill program to test the IP anomaly gets underway. The Feni program is being supervised by Dr. David Lindley, a qualified person under the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Pursuant to an Option Agreement between the Company and Vangold, Vangold may acquire a 75-per-cent interest in tenement EL 1021, covering 37 square kilometres on Ambitle and Babase Islands, Papua New Guinea, known as the Feni Gold Project. PNG is considered to be vastly under-explored and highly prospective for the discovery of new mineral deposits.

MITHRIL

BHP Billiton Agrees to New Nickel Joint Venture

The Board of Mithril Resources Ltd advises that BHP Billiton have agreed to enter into a new Joint Venture, the Talia Hill Project.

Talia Hill Joint Venture; Exploration Licence 2842 Mithril currently 100%, BHP Billiton earning up to 82%.

The Company is exploring for nickel sulphide mineralisation associated with ultramafic rocks within the Harris Greenstone Belt (Gawler Craton) in South Australia. The Harris Greenstone Belt is similar to the Norseman-Wiluna Belt of Western Australia which hosts numerous nickel sulphide deposits. The Company has defined a strong nickel-copper-chromium anomaly extending over two kilometres along the favourable basal ultramafic contact.

Under the conditions of the subscription agreement with the Company, BHP Billiton has agreed to enter into a joint venture to earn 52% interest through the expenditure of $2 million, and may elect to earn up to 82% through an additional expenditure of $3 million.

The Company will manage all exploration activities undertaken under the joint venture and is planning to commence drilling program (minimum 1000 metres) in February.

SUMMARY

TasGold Ltd (TasGold) is a gold focused mineral exploration company, whose primary projects are located in three gold +/- base metal districts in SW, north-central and NE Tasmania.

Highlights from the quarter include:

• Implementation of the company's ‘year round drilling' philosophy utilising it's man portable diamond drilling rig (depth capability to 300m in NQ core).

• Granting of the Gowrie Park EL (29/2003) in north -central Tasmania, that was won by competitive tender. The EL contains Inferred Resources of approximately 40,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 3.5 g/t (in 2 discrete deposits) associated with the Dolcoath granite. Drilling (immediately subsequent to granting) of 4 diamond core holes for 232.5m, returned a best result of 3.5m of 4.0 g/t gold along with 5.1% lead + 4.2% zinc + 0.4% copper.

• Drilling of 6 diamond core holes for 359.9m and 2 reverse circulation drill holes for 136m at the Lisle Project - EL 2/92, with a best result of 0.8m of 11.2 g/t gold.

• Mobilisation to the SMRV project was initiated in December, in preparation for drilling in early January (that commenced on 6/1/2004).

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

On 27 January 2004, the ASX released the following announcement by Allstate Explorations NL (subject to deed of company arrangement):

"INTERIM ARBITRATION AWARD IN FAVOUR OF THE BEACONSFIELD MINE JOINT VENTURERS

"Allstate Explorations NL (subject to deed of company arrangement) ("ALX"), as manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture, today announces that an interim arbitration award was made in favour of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venturers (ALX, Beaconsfield Operations Pty Limited, Beaconsfield Tasmania Pty Limited, Beaconsfield Gold NL, Allstate Prospecting Pty Limited and ACN 070 164 653 Pty Limited) on 22 January 2004.

"As reported in ALX's financial report for the year ended 30 June 2003 (released to ASX on 22 October 2003), arbitration proceedings were brought by the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venturers ("Claimants") in relation to a dispute with Batepro Australia Pty Limited and Brown & Root Engineering & Construction Pty Limited (now renamed A.C.N. 005 585 795 Pty Ltd) ("Respondents"). The dispute arose in connection with a contract between the Claimants and the Respondents under which the Respondents undertook to design, supply, construct and commission a gold treatment plant and backfill plant at the Beaconsfield Mine, Tasmania. The Claimants alleged amongst other things, delay, unsatisfactory design and construction, major defects and omissions in the works and failure to satisfy performance tests.

"The arbitrator, Mr J Tyrill, found that the Respondents are jointly and severally liable to the Claimants for $60,366,785 together with interest after 17 January 2004 at the rate of $29,292 per week. The Arbitrator also found that Respondents' cross claims against the Claimants fail. The Arbitrator reserved his award on the question of costs and has invited the parties' submissions on this.

"As reported in ALX's 2003 financial report, the Respondents have asserted that they have no funds to meet the cost of any award. The Respondents' professional indemnity insurer has withdrawn coverage with respect to the claim. The insurer has also indicated that, in any event, any claim would be capped at $20 million.

"It is currently unclear the extent to which the award will be able to be successfully enforced. ALX will seek legal advice on its position and will then determine the appropriate course of action in consultation with the other Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venturers. - Web Site

ADDRESS BY TONY GREENWOOD AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD IN THE BEACONSFIELD COMMUNITY CENTRE ON THURSDAY 22 JANUARY 2004

I am delighted to welcome you to the Annual General Meeting of Beaconsfield Gold NL. This is the first Annual General Meeting of the Company since 2000.

Since the last Annual General Meeting therefore, three years have passed, a Receiver and Manager has been appointed to the Company, and three Chairman have retired in succession. Mike Trumbull has been appointed as the first managing director of the Company, after holding office as the sole executive director since its inception.

Review of 2003 Financial Year and Subsequent Events

While Beaconsfield Gold's operations have prospered over 2003, the Board had a turbulent history in the 2003 financial year. John Jost retired in favour of Jim Askew in August 2002, with the new Chairman looking to establish a proposal for salvage of shareholders' interests. The Chairman resigned shortly before Christmas 2002, giving as his reason the release at that time of the Company's quarterly report for September 2002 without his consent.

In that quarterly report, prepared on the sole authority of Mike Trumbull, there was an estimated average future annual gold production from the Tasmania Reef of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture of between 103,000 and 116,000 ounces. The actual gold production in the following four quarters ending September 2003 was 123,434 ounces.

Beaconsfield Gold's share of the proceeds from the Beaconsfield mine enabled substantial payments to its secured creditor during 2003 - $8 million in the financial year to June 2003 and another $3 million in the September 2003 quarter.

The success of the mine, together with the favourable gold price prevailing through 2003, has thus provided the opportunity for Beaconsfield Gold to emerge from the first half of last year, which was what Shakespeare might have called a summer of discontent, to a potential glorious season this year.

It is apparent that from the middle of 2002 to the middle of 2003 there were within the Board of Beaconsfield Gold (which had already survived an attempt at an early spill by one opportunistic group) deep and robust disagreements about corporate policy and strategy, and sharply expressed differences in perception among present and former Directors about what might be the best outcome for Beaconsfield Gold's shareholders.

Nevertheless a successful strategy to enhance the interests of shareholders eventually emerged over the course of 2003. On 28^th January 2003, Mike Trumbull announced an entry into a memorandum of understanding with a syndicate of professional investors to provide new equity capital to Beaconsfield Gold. At that time the Company itself was not in a position to enter the MOU, since it had only two Directors (less than the legal minimum of 3), and the Directors were not in agreement with each other, either about that strategy or about the appointment of an additional Director to enable the Board of Directors to operate lawfully in dealing with such Company business as remained in their hands. That situation continued until June.

On 16^th May 2003, John Miedecke wrote to the ASX drawing attention to the pre-Christmas events resulting in the Chairman's resignation, and also disassociating himself from the latest quarterly report issued that month as well as the previous two quarterly reports. He also published a request by himself and some other shareholders for Mike Trumbull's resignation.

On 19^th June 2003, shareholders, in a general meeting called by Mike Trumbull, elected Jeff Williams as a Director, thus enabling the Board to function, subject of course to the continuing receivership.

On 15^th July 2003, Beaconsfield Gold signed the equity Subscription Agreement foreshadowed six months previously, and shareholders will today be asked to approve the issue of shares contemplated by that Agreement as the first step in the Board's strategy to restore the Company to shareholder control.

Shortly after that Subscription Agreement was entered into, a Board Committee consisting of Mike Trumbull and Jeff Williams commenced formal negotiation with Gold Investors Pty Ltd for a further injection of capital by way of convertible notes. Those negotiations resulted in the Convertible Notes Agreement executed by Beaconsfield Gold on 18th December. Shareholders are today being asked to approve the issue of convertible notes under that Agreement.

After satisfaction of other formal conditions precedent to these two agreements, including the settlement of claims of pre-receivership unsecured creditors, Beaconsfield Gold will raise $14 million in fresh capital from these two sources. Up to a further $500,000 has been raised from shares issued under the equity Subscription Agreement at 10¢, with these funds being used to provide for corporate expenses incurred over the last six months in order to execute the restoration strategy.

Looking back over the last eighteen months, it is understandable that in dealing with a crisis of the depth that has affected Beaconsfield Gold there would be passionately expressed differences of point of view on strategy, often based on views of relevant facts that might be not entirely consistent with each other. When the Company is being run by a Receiver and Manager, perhaps a period for a certain amount of passionate disagreement about what would be the best course for shareholders was allowable and even useful.

Today that period comes to an end. From today, the Board is united around a specific and immediate goal - restructure of the Company's debt, retirement of the Receiver and Manager and restoration of share quotation. This will free shareholders to increase or decrease their investment exposure at their choice and free the Company to raise additional working capital from shareholders pro rata.

Company Mission and Goals for 2004

In the period since Beaconsfield Gold went into receivership in June 2001, various plans have been brought forward, or urged upon the Board, or suggested in direct approaches to the Receiver and Manager and others. Some of these have been grand visions involving final settlement of all the interested parties' claims surrounding the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture. In the future the Board may continue to explore some of these ideas, but for now no vision should, or will be allowed to obscure the first essential in pursuit of the best interests of shareholders - to take the Company out of the restrictions imposed by the receivership and return to official quotation of its shares. To do that, the only road that can be presently chosen is one that drives a truck load of money into the waiting receivership account by the most direct route. The resolutions to be put to shareholders today will clear the way for that to happen.

The mission of Beaconsfield Gold from today will be to establish both its direct and indirect interest in the Beaconsfield mine on a sound financial footing that will enable appropriate returns to shareholders.

To fulfil that mission the Board's main operating tasks for 2004 are:

1. To complete the proposed current capital raising by satisfying all remaining conditions precedent to the equity Subscription Agreement and the Convertible Notes Agreement, including taking whatever steps are necessary to settle pre-receivership unsecured creditors' claims on the Company, and thus to complete arrangements for the retirement of the Receiver and Manager and the entry into new finance facilities with the Company's bankers, BankWest.
   
   
2. To continue to reduce the debt to BankWest from the proceeds of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture as rapidly as possible, with the aim of minimising reliance on debt for working capital.
   
   
3. To issue a prospectus as soon as possible. In addition to grounding the two current capital raisings, this will give all shareholders the opportunity to participate in a rights entitlement issue. Proceeds from a rights issue may be used to further reduce bank debt, provide for additional capital works in the Beaconsfield mine, and for redemption of any unconverted convertible notes in 2006. I wish to emphasise the necessity for further capital. Beaconsfield Gold must ensure that its working capital is adequate to fund any capital call by the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture Manager and to fund exploration that may enhance the proven reserves of the Beaconsfield mine and other Beaconsfield Gold tenements, and so achieve efficient critical mass in the gold mining industry.
   
   
4. To make a positive contribution to oversight of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture through constructive participation on the Joint Venture Management Committee. Beaconsfield Gold will also assist in advancing the claims by the Joint Venture participants against Bateman Brown and Root, the ore treatment plant construction contractor.
   
   
5. To explore avenues for the restoration of value to the Company's equity investment in Allstate Exploration NL.

The Beaconsfield mine is currently performing particularly well while proven high grade resources are being tapped. However, the key to maintaining the outstanding results achieved in 2003 must be a continuing exploration effort to uncover and prove the likely prospects available. The Board will support a sensible program to the extent that its capital resources permit.

The next Annual General Meeting of Beaconsfield Gold will be held later this year, possibly in about nine months' time. I look forward at that meeting to being able to report substantial progress to shareholders in pursuit of the five tasks to be undertaken by the Board towards fulfilment of the mission of Beaconsfield Gold..........Web Site

UPDATE ON PRODUCTION TESTING OF “WOMBAT- 1” WELL, PEP 157
Onshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria

On 28th January 2004 the Drill Stem Test (DST) tool was retrieved to surface for DST #4 which had produced gas on test. The test tool recovered approximately 7 barrels of formation water during the DST. Initial qualitative evaluation of the downhole pressure data for the DST indicates significant skin factor indicative of damage due to drilling and invasion of mud filtrate. We believe that these factors of water flow and skin damage have negatively affected the gas flow rate.

It is proposed to repeat the test at a later date after addressing these factors by isolating the lower perforations to minimise the water influx and to improve the performance of the upper interval by stimulation.

DST #4 was performed on 26th January 2004 and is the second cased hole DST at Wombat-1 well in the PEP 157 permit onshore Victoria. DST #4 was performed over the interval 1532-1591 metres in the Golden Beach formation sands. These sands are the productive reservoir at the nearby offshore Kipper Field. The test flowed at a maximum rate of 100,000 cubic feet of gas per day on a 1/” choke.

The Wombat-1 well is the first well on the Wombat structure and is only 4 kilometres from the Esso-BHP gas pipline and 15 kilometres from the Longford gas plant.

The next test will be carried out later today in the Golden Beach over the interval 1497-1515 metres.
Indications during drilling suggest that this is the primary zone of interest.

This will be followed by a test in the Latrobe Formation. The Latrobe is the productive formation in the giant Bass Strait oil and gas fields.....- Web Site

MACMIN SILVER

TECHNICAL REPORT - QUARTER ENDED 31^ST DECEMBER 2003

1. SUMMARY & COMMENTS

Macmin Silver Ltd (Macmin) is a silver focused company whose primary project is the Texas Silver Project, S.E. Queensland, Australia. Macmin has exposure to gold by way of a 40% equity in New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) and a 1% NSR royalty on production by NGG. In addition, Macmin maintains equity investments in junior Australian explorers, Malachite Resources NL and TasGold Ltd.

During the quarter, the Company continued a strong exploration focus, which will be maintained throughout 2004, over the project area. Mine development at Twin Hills will not commence until higher silver prices occur, so that shareholder value from the silver resources at Texas can be optimised.

A $10 million Equity Line of Credit obtained from Cornell Capital provided $400,000 in funds during the quarter, and is expected to provide further funds in 2004.

1.1 Highlights from the Quarter

1.1.1 Texas Silver Project

Exploration drilling continued on the Mt Gunyan Prospect during the quarter. Results from the first 9 holes of a reverse circulation drilling programme, which tested depth extensions to previously encountered shallow silver/gold mineralised intercepts, were received.

Hole MGRC5 (vertical hole) encountered an intercept of 34m at 333g/t Ag between 62 and 96m downhole, which included 10m at 849g/t Ag between 70m and 80m downhole. The intercept was the best so far recorded on Mt Gunyan and occurs in the southern part of the prospect 400m south of previously reported high grade results (Technical Report: Quarter Ended 30 September, 2003).

Reverse circulation drilling will recommence in February and will follow up this new high grade zone.

The shallow percussion drilling programme continued during the quarter producing a best intercept of 2m at 262g/t Ag and 0.5g/t Au between 32 and 34m downhole in MGP201 and 2m at 285g/t Ag and 2.59g/t Au in hole MGP156 between 48 and 50m downhole (reported in ASX release, 27 November).

Diamond drilling at Silver Spur encountered base metal mineralisation with an intercept of 3m at 6.9% Zn and 52g/t Ag in hole SSD3 between 110 and 113m downhole (reported in ASX release 27 November).

NEW GUINEA GOLD

Vancouver, British Columbia, January 23, 2004: Further to our news releases of December 16 and November 17, 2003, New Guinea Gold Corporation (“NGG”) and Vangold Resources Ltd. (“Vangold”), NGG’s joint venture partner in the Feni project, have completed and signed a Share Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of 95% of the shares of Kanon Resources Ltd. (“Kanon”) a private company registered in Papua New Guinea. NGG currently holds the remaining 5% of the remaining Kanon shares. The Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is subject to regulatory approval. Upon closing of the acquisition, Vangold and NGG will each hold a 50% interest in Kanon (including the 5% already held by NGG).

Kanon holds 100% of five prospecting licenses and 50% of one, all of which are located in Papua New Guinea. The properties total approximately 1,446 sq kms in area and, based on previous exploration results, they are regarded as advanced stage projects with significant gold known in trench and drill hole with further drill ready targets. In accordance with the terms of the letter of intent, NGG and Vangold have each advanced CDN$35,000 as a partial reimbursement of costs incurred by Kanon. Upon receipt of regulatory approval, NGG and Vangold will each advance a further CDN$35,000.

In addition to these funds, Vangold will issue 1.6 million shares and NGG will issue 1.4 million shares to the vendors, the current shareholders of Kanon. These shares will be escrowed for a minimum of 12 months from the date of issuance. Furthermore, the vendors will be granted an 8% free carried interest to commercial production in each of the mining licences (other than Mt. Nakru). NGG has elected to earn a direct 20% interest in the Mt. Penck property by solely funding the first CDN$300,000 worth of exploration. NGG will then have a 60% interest and will be the manager and operator of that property. Vangold has the right (within 30 days of signing the Agreement) to also earn a 20% direct interest in one of the properties (except Mr. Nakru) by solely funding the first CDN$300,000 worth of exploration.

The vendors will grant to Kanon the right to acquire 50% of the 8% free carried interest for the sum of US$1,000,000 and will also grant Kanon a first right of refusal for a 14 day period from notification of any sale of the remaining interest.

NGG and Vangold have also signed a Shareholders Agreement regarding the management of Kanon. Under that agreement, the Board of Directors of Kanon will consist of two directors from Vangold, two from NGG and two of the existing directors of Kanon. Certain of the Board decisions will require shareholder approval of NGG and Vangold. In addition, a management committee consisting of one representative each of Vangold, NGG and Kanon will be established to manage all operations as directed by the Board. - Web Site

GIANTS REEF

Development of high-grade Edna Beryl and Cat’s Whiskers deposits commences immediately.

The Company today announces the immediate development of the high grade Edna Beryl (38km north of Tennant Creek) and Cat’s Whiskers (6km southeast of Tennant Creek) projects. Mine development at Edna Beryl will commence this week, with the first ore parcel expected to be treated at the end of February. In parallel, shaft development will commence at the Cat’s Whiskers deposit. Both deposits will be developed during the first half of 2004. Edna Beryl has a resource of 6,000 tonnes grading 30 g/t Au with the potential for further tonnage below the resource envelope. A resource estimate for Cat’s Whiskers is currently being finalised. Within the Company’s extensive Tennant Creek landholdings there are a number of other smaller deposits including Billy Boy, estimated to contain 8,000 tonnes at 20g/t Au, that are presently the subject of further evaluation.

In order to optimise the economic returns from the Edna Beryl and Cat’s Whiskers projects, the Company has entered into an agreement with specialist mining company Craigs Mining Services to develop these projects. Craigs Mining Services has been working closely with the Company on various aspects of the construction of the Chariot underground mine for the past 8 months. Drilling results and development options for the Malbec Prospect, 800 metres west of Chariot, are presently being evaluated and details will be included in the Company’s December quarterly report, which will be released shortly. Mr Joe Ariti, the Chief Executive of the Company stated that “this was a logical incremental next step in capturing the potential of the Tennant Creek goldfield and the Company’s existing milling infrastructure in lifting overall gold production towards 100,000 ounces per annum”. - Web Site

  The Company plans to produce a quarterly activity report for release to the market the month after the quarter end. The report will provide shareholders and stakeholders with a summary of production, development and corporate activities of the Company. The Company will continue to disclose information in relation to the performance and activities of the Company in accordance with it's obligations under the Alternative Investment Market rules.

1.0 Summary

GMA Resources Plc, the gold mining company, owns a 52% controlling interest in the promising Tirek Gold mine and exploration project in Algeria. The company's shares and warrants are listed on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (AIM) code GMA and on the Frankfurt Deutsche Boerse in Germany.

The Company raised £4 million upon listing in May 2003 and raised a further £3.25 million in October 2003.

The Board's strategy is to complete a development plan for the substantial Tirek and Amesmessa gold deposits with a view to significantly expand the existing gold mining operation. To that end a major exploration drilling programme commenced during the quarter and work was carried out on preliminary geological resource models, mine plans and schedules. A processing plant option study was also commissioned, in order to finalise the development plan and more detailed mining and engineering studies are expected to commence early next quarter.

During the quarter the company continued to operate and optimise the existing pilot plant operation at the Tirek minesite. Gold shipments exceeded budget for the quarter, totaling 5,949 oz This was achieved despite slightly lower than budgeted mill throughput rates and ore grades. Plant availability was higher than budget. Plant recovery remained high throughout the quarter and averaged 96.4%.

The company has prepared a drilling program, consisting of approximately 18,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling and 2200 metres of diamond drilling, aimed at:

• improving existing resource estimates, enabling mine design and reserve estimates for the major gold bearing quartz veins; and
• increasing the resource base by exploring other gold bearing quartz veins at Tirek, Amesmessa and the 60 km long zone between them known as "ZITA".

Web Site The RC drilling component of the program commenced with the mobilisation of two RC drilling rigs from Mauritania, which arrived on site at Tirek on 16 October. Drilling commenced on 24 October and is expected to be completed by February 2004. Of the 246 holes planned, approximately 114 are pre-collar holes which will be extended by diamond drilling to obtain core samples of the mineralised zone.

The diamond drilling is being performed by the Algerian government agency Office National de la Recherche Geologique et Miniere (ORGM), who commenced drilling the diamond hole tails in November. ORGM have currently two diamond rigs operating at site and will provide a third rig in January 2004.

The company has embarked on an aggressive improvement and optimisation plan, which has resulted in the recruitment of highly experienced expatriate mining personnel in the key roles of:- Operations Manager, Exploration Manager, Exploration Geologist, Maintenance Manager, Maintenance Supervisor, Processing Manager, Supply Manager and Safety & Environmental (NOSA) Manager.

The establishment of a Government certified explosives magazine at Tirek (October), and the resolution of security and permitting issues relating to the use of explosives at site (December), has removed one of the major production bottlenecks which has affected production in previous months. Regular explosives deliveries and improved waste blasting and mining techniques are expected to rapidly increase mine productivity.

A major procurement campaign, which has identified critical plant and mining equipment spares, consumables and parts required for improving operational performance has been largely implementedFOR DETAILS . -

DRAGON MINING

DRAGON'S JOKISIVU GOLD PROJECT YIELDS AN INITIAL RESOURCE OF
300,000 OZS FROM HIGH-GRADE VEIN SYSTEM

Drilling completed during 2003 has succeeded in defining a high-grade gold resource at Dragon's Jokisivu Project in southern Finland. An initial resource calculation has indicated the project has the potential for an open cut mine followed by underground development that would supply ore to Dragon's 600,000 tpa Vammala Plant 40km to the northeast. Subject to the results of a scoping study, further infill and extension drilling and a feasibility study will be undertaken in the first half of 2004.

The known Jokisivu gold mineralisation consists of two zones of high-grade veins 200 metres apart. The larger Kujankallio Zone consists of 6 separate vein systems, 4 of which are stacked in a sub-parallel array with a strike of at least 400m and dipping at about 50 to 60 degrees. The smaller Arpola Zone consists of 8 stacked vein systems extending over a strike of at least 200m and dipping at about 70 degrees. Mineralisation in both zones comes to the bed rock surface. - Web Site

UNION CAPITAL

Recent Movement in Union Capital Share Price

Union Capital Limited (UCL) has noted the significant increase in the price of the Company’s ordinary shares. UCL is not aware of any further information that requires disclosure to the Australian Stock Exchange.

UCL is of the view, and has made previous announcements to the effect, that the market price of the company has not previously taken into account the potential of the Mehdiabad Zinc Project.

Re: Commencement of Mining Reserve Drilling Mehdiabad Zinc Project

Union Capital Limited (UCL) advises that a diamond-drilling program has commenced at the Medhiabad Zinc Project in Iran designed to convert part of the resource from the inferred category to the indicated category, ready for the First Stage of the proposed development.

The drilling program has been divided into three stages, with the first stage involving 1700 metres of drilling on East Ridge where mining will first commence. This program is being carried out by an Iranian contractor and may take up to 3 months to be completed. Two other stages of drilling are planned and will be commenced progressively as the project goes forward.

The rise in the zinc price over recent months from US$850 per tonne to US$1000 per tonne has had a very positive impact on the economics of the project.

Metallurgical batch bench scale testing is in progress at HRL Laboratories. The focus of the testing to date is on finding the optimum conditions to maximise zinc dissolution with minimum manganese and other potentially deleterious elements in an acid solution. Testwork is now being planned and will commence in January to determine the purification steps necessary to achieve a zinc solution suitable for electrowinning.

Zinc extractions of around 70% have been achieved in the recent testwork and these results will be reviewed when mineralogical results of the leach residues come to hand.

It is considered possible that the project may be in a position to establish a pilot plant in about 6-9 months time.

Union Capital Ltd (UCL) holds a 33% beneficial interest in the Mehdiabad Project through both shares and entitlements in the Iranian incorporated joint venture company Mehdiabad Zinc Company (MZC). - Web Site
