WOMBAT 2 DRILLING
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
Lakes Oil (“LKO”) advises that the well commenced drilling at 10:30 PM last night and at 6:00 AM this morning was drilling ahead in a 17 1/” hole at a depth of 100 metres. During the next twenty four hours it is planned to drill ahead to the first casing point at a depth of 300 metres.
The Wombat 2 well is a step out from the Wombat 1 discovery well and is located approximately 4 kilometres west of Seaspray and 2 kilometres south west of Wombat 1.
The Wombat Block is located in PEP 157. An overriding royalty of 5% of the wellhead value of any hydrocarbon production is payable to Roma Petroleum N.L. a former holder of the permit.
WOMBAT 1 UPDATE
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
The Wombat 1 well continues to clean up, flowing increasing amounts of gas and decreasing amounts of water to the surface with occasional bursts of condensate/light oil.
The tests will continue until the well settles into a sustained rate of production which may be a number of weeks.

ADDITIONAL HIGH-GRADE MINERALISATION DISCOVERED AT CRACOW
Drilling on the newly named Sterling structure (previously known as the CBK093 structure) has intersected high grade gold mineralisation in core hole CBK131.
CBK131: 7.45 metres @ 9.0 g/t Au from 639.2 metres
including 2.3 metres @ 25.0 g/t Au from 639.2 metres.
The Sterling structure is interpreted from four holes, to be sub vertical and striking north-south. These included CBK093 reported in March 2003 with 3.15 metres @ 2.8 g/t Au from 676.7 metres. The CBK131 intersection is approximately 70 metres south of the CBK093 intersection.
Sterling is located 150 metres west of the Empire mineralised zone, (see map attached) and under approximately 100 metres of sedimentary cover rocks. Further drilling of the structure is in progress.

WOMBAT 2 TO COMMENCE
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
Lakes Oil (“LKO”) advises that all equipment is now on site and Wombat 2 is expected to commence drilling later today. Our targets are the Golden Beach and Strzelecki formations, encountered in the Wombat 1 well.
WOMBAT 1 UPDATE
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
Since demobilisation of the rig on Friday, efforts over the weekend were focused on movement of equipment from one site to the next. This did not allow easy access to the Wombat 1 well head, to continue its testing program.
The site is now clear and after reconnection of a new line to the flare pit, tests have resumed. Our efforts are concentrated on the removal of water placed in the well to shut of the flow of gas necessary to allow the safe removal of “Stim” gun tubes used during the mini frac.
Water is being removed by shutting in the well for several hours and allowing the pressure to build up down hole. On opening gas comes to the surface with the water. We have now carried out this procedure a number of times with encouraging results and a large quantity of the water previously inserted in the well has been removed. It is pleasing to note that the flow of gas now coming to surface on opening has increased substantially and more importantly, once the initial flow settles down the ongoing base flow rate of gas appears to be slowly increasing.
Late yesterday a small amount of either oil or condensate was again noted in the gas coming to the surface continuing an occurrence reported earlier.
The tests will continue until the well settles into a sustained rate of production which could be a number of weeks.

Macrodiamond Recovered from Loam Sample NN 2523
Tsumkwe DIAMOND Project, Namibia
The Company is pleased to announce the discovery of an unabraded broken dodecahedron macrodiamond from Loam Sample NN 2523 as identified by the Company’s mineral sorter. The diamond was recovered from the 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm size fraction from material collected between 0.4mm and 2.0 mm in size.
The diamond is the fifth to be recovered by the Company and was from a loam sample collected in the eastern portion of EPL 2014 (Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 90%, Kimberlite Resources (Pty) Ltd 10%) in the Delta/Ebony search area. The diamond was recovered 3.5km south east of another macrodiamond found in Loam Sample NN 740, as announced to the Australian Stock Exchange on 7 December 2001. The Delta/Ebony search area is characterized by shallow (<15 metres depth) Kalahari Formation sands overlying granitic basement rocks and was prioritised for sampling as it is considered a likely source area to explain the presence of kimberlitic garnet anomalies located further to the west.
A number of geophysical targets have been prioritised for drilling in this area.

Further Significant Geochemical Sample Results - Tsumkwe Basemetals Project, Namibia - EPL 3022 (100%)
The Company is pleased to announce that it has received further encouraging results from infill soil geochemical sampling conducted over the above tenement.
Samples were taken every 50m along north/south lines spaced 100m apart, covering an area to 400m west of the initial sample line from which significantly elevated results were received, as announced to the Australian Stock Exchange on 8 March 2004. Sampling to the east of this initial line was not able to be conducted because of inaccessibility due to heavy rainfalls.
Twenty-seven consecutive samples on all four of the programme's north/south lines returned significantly elevated zinc and lead values, as compared to overall average background values (O.A.B.V.) as follows:
|
Zinc |
Lead |
|||
| Width of Elevated values |
Elevated Average Value |

Elevated Average Value |
O.A.B.V. |
| 300m |
1,471 ppm |
54 ppm |
720 ppm |
48 ppm |
Significant silver grades were also recorded. Highest values recorded per line, were as follows:
| Line No. |
Location |
Zinc |
Lead |
Silver |
| 1 |
100m west of initial line |
1,947 ppm |

2,054 ppm |
8 g/t |
| 4 |
100m west of Line 3 |
2,568 ppm |
950 ppm |
9 g/t |
Samples were assayed by AAS method. The zone of mineralisation is open to both the east and the west.
Whilst sampling was not able to be conducted to the east of the initial line during this programme, the Company believes that it now has sufficient information to determine the strike direction of the zone of mineralisation, which is well defined by a thickly vegetated coincident anomaly. As a result, geological mapping is currently being conducted in preparation for RC drilling within the next two weeks. A rig is available on site.

Daniel Project - Results of 500 tonne bulk sample
(BHP Billiton/Tawana Resources Joint Venture; Tawana earning 40%)
Highlights
• Results show that the Daniel paleochannel has captured diamonds from the heavily eroded Finsch Diamond Mine over many millions of years and that diamond mineralisation is extensive, longitudinally, laterally and vertically.
• Thirteen diamonds were recovered from 518 tonnes processed. Diamonds were recovered from 8 of 14 sites tested with sample sizes ranging from 15 – 82 tonnes per site. The average sample size was 37 tonnes. - Web Site

NEW DISCOVERY AT COOLGARDIE
| Project Interests: | |
| Herald Resources Ltd | 50% |
| MPI Mines Ltd | 50% |
MPI Mines Ltd as manager of the Coolgardie JV has advised of a new gold discovery at Coolgardie, situated between the current Empress underground mine and the previously mined Tindals Lodes.
Two underground NQ2 diamond core holes have been drilled to intersect potential mineralised positions below previous mining on the Tindals Lodes. The drillholes were collared from close to the base of the Empress Mine development (1140RL level) and declined shallowly to the east.
The drilling intersected a new strongly altered and mineralised diorite lode located approximately mid-way between the Empress and Tindals. The Lode is some 130m laterally, and 30m below the deepest Empress development level.
Assay results from this lode are 10.26m @ 5.6g/t (incl. 3.70m @ 8.20g/t and 4.50m @ 5.70g/t) in ED196, and 14.87m @ 4.66g/t (incl. 7.21m @ 6.96g/t and 4.76m @ 3.97g/t) in ED197. Intercepts are close to true width and 10m vertically apart.
Mineralisation style is similar to that mined at Tindals and in the same rock type. A follow-up program of five holes will be drilled to define the dimensions and potential of this discovery.
An intercept of up to 15.39m @ 2.30g/t Au was returned from the Tindals Lode position.
Hole details and significant assay results are tabled below:

Reinstatement to Official Quotation
WOMBAT 1 RE-ENTRY AND TESTING
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
Lakes Oil (“LKO”) advises that the Halliburton Stim equipment was brought to surface overnight.
Inspection revealed that the detonation of the charges had taken place.
Lakes and its technical advisers had expected that when the charge was detonated that it would be felt on surface. This was not the case leading to the belief that the charge had not detonated.
It is now our intention to run a production casing which will allow us to re-open the well and allow it to flow until inhibiting debris and drilling filtrate is cleared from the reservoir.
As reported yesterday the well was flowing substantially increased amounts of gas while it was opened and it is expected that we can build on these flow rates after a sustained testing program.
The rig will now be released to commence drilling the Wombat 2 well which is located approximately two kilometres south west from Wombat 1. Drilling is expected to begin Wednesday 31 March 2004.
Lakes Oil confirms that it is in compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and in particular Listing Rule 3.1.
Lakes now requests that the trading halt be removed.

WOMBAT 1 RE-ENTRY AND TESTING
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
Lakes Oil (“LKO”) advises that the “Stim” mini frac planned for yesterday Tuesday 23 March 2004 again did not eventuate.
It is our belief that the detonation charge down hole has not ignited.
We will now bring the equipment including the charge and detonator to surface for inspection by onsite representatives of Halliburton Australia. This is expected to take two days.
While the well was “open to surface” substantially increased amounts of gas were noted, as the well attempted to clean itself up. Drilling filtrate and what appears to be pulverised coal previously trapped in the formation is being forced to the surface by the increasing gas flow.
We expect even further increases in gas flow to occur, after successful completion of the “Stim” test.
A small amount of liquid hydrocarbons also came to surface. A sample was collected for analysis.
Lakes continues to be encouraged by the ongoing results of this well.
Directors are of the view that the market may not be fully informed pending the results of the testing and request that the trading halt continue until these results are available.

SEDIMENTARY FARMS INTO HIGH-GRADE
EPITHERMAL GOLDFIELD IN QUEENSLAND
Sedimentary announces a new project on a high-grade epithermal goldfield in Queensland.
Sedimentary has reached agreement with Mt Britton Mining Pty Ltd and its associate Enterprise Mining Pty Ltd to form joint ventures to explore the Mount Britton goldfield near Nebo approximately 75km south west of Mackay in Queensland.
The Mount Britton goldfield was first established on high grade alluvials in Oaky Creek and Nuggety Gully in 1881. Hard rock gold was later located in quartz veins within altered volcanics at the head of Nuggety Gully. The veins are of the same age and type as those hosting the Royal and Crown shoots under development by Sedimentary and Newcrest at the new Cracow gold mine.
Assay certificates show that the gold can be coarse in the quartz lodes with about 40% of the gold being plus 80 mesh. In the wall rocks only 8% of the gold was found in the coarse fraction.
Drill pads and a road were constructed to allow testing of the lodes beneath the current workings however this was never undertaken. Mount Britton has never been drilled.
Production grades from the shallow underground mines exceeded 62g/t Au (2 ounces of gold per tonne). During the last recorded production phase in 1962-63 1,120 ounces were produced from a 3 head stamp battery. Later production records show a further 2,020 ounces were produced between 1967 and 1981 before underground mining ceased. Records are incomplete and estimates of production from the field range up to 30,000 ounces with over 12,000 ounces being recorded in the first four years of production.
The joint ventures consist of a 1km2 granted mining lease -ML4782 and the surrounding area currently the subject of an Exploration Permit – Minerals application.
Sedimentary can earn a 51% interest in the Mining Lease by spending $750,000 within 3 years, whereupon Mt Britton may elect to contribute or allow Sedimentary to earn an 80% interest by fully funding the joint venture to a positive feasibility study within 10 years. A 51% interest can be earned in the surrounding EPM applied for by Enterprise Minerals by expending $500,000 within three years of granting the EPM, and can move to an 80% interest on the same terms as the joint venture on ML4782.
The target for the Mt. Britton joint ventures are down dip extensions of the mineralised vein systems seeking high-grade shoots similar to the Cracow and Vera Nancy deposits.
Diamond drilling is planned to commence in the June quarter from the existing access roads following relevant permitting on the granted Mining Lease.

1. Drilling Commences at Prominent Hill (Prominent Hill Joint Venture ELs 3162, 2597, 3056, 3079, Minotaur Resources Ltd 100%, Oxiana Limited earning up to 65%)
The first of three drilling rigs is soon to arrive at Prominent Hill to commence the drill-out of the copper-gold deposit, with the aim of defining a JORC-compliant resource early in the second half of this year. Drilling will commence in the next few days.
The program includes approximately 10,000 metres of diamond drilling and 4,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling. Initial work will commence in the eastern portion of the deposit where earlier drilling intersected 103 metres at 2.52% copper and 1.1 g/t gold (hole RP030) and 133 metres at 1.74% copper and 1.36 g/t gold (hole RP031).
The drill out forms part of the initial earn-in expenditure of $3.5 million, funded and approved by Oxiana. To earn a 65% equity in the project, Oxiana may expend $34 million.
2. Drilling - Balta Baltana Joint Venture (north of Prominent Hill, ELs 3162, 3056, 3079, Minotaur Resources Ltd 49%, BHP Billiton earning 70%)
Four lead-zinc targets are programmed for drill testing in the Balta Baltana joint venture located about 10 kilometres north of Prominent Hill. The drilling program will be coordinated with that at Prominent Hill and will involve only reverse circulation drilling.
3. Mithril Resources Ltd
As part of a capital raising by Mithril Resources Ltd, Minotaur has subscribed $600,000 to acquire 1.5 million shares in Mithril. The placement forms part of a raising by Mithril which included placements totalling $1.332 million and a Shareholder Purchase Plan, at the same price as the placement. Minotaur accepted its portion of the placement in order to maintain its equity of approximately 20% in Mithril, following the two cash raisings.
Mithril is an aggressive nickel explorer with a substantial tenement holding throughout Australia. It has an Australia-wide alliance with BHP Billiton. The funds will accelerate Mithril's exploration efforts, increasing its opportunity for discovery.

WOMBAT 1 RE-ENTRY AND TESTING
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
Lakes Oil (“LKO”) advises that due to the late arrival of equipment which is being air expressed to Melbourne from the USA by Halliburton Australia it is now expected that the mini “Stim” frac which was scheduled for today will now take place on Sunday 21 March 2004.
SHAREHOLDER SHAREPURCHASE PLAN
Lakes has been delighted with shareholders response to its Shareholder Share Purchase Plan. 2954 Shareholders took the opportunity to purchase 35,000 new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of 4 cents raising a total of $4,135,600.00
NEW PERMIT VIC/P40V
OFFSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
Lakes applied for and has now been offered by the Department of Primary Industries a new permit VIC/P40V.
The acquisition of this strip offshore which is sandwiched between our onshore permit PEP 155 and our interests in the offshore permit VIC/P47 is important to Lakes ongoing assessment of that area. An airborne Gravity Survey has already been flown over this strip using BHP’s revolutionary technology.
Currently we are awaiting interpretation of the data.
It is hoped that this new permit will provide us with an important link in assessing both onshore and offshore geology.
It is Lakes Oil’s intention to accept the offer of this new permit as soon as possible.

The directors of Mount Rommel Mining are pleased to advise that the mining licence 5391 at Clunes was granted on the 19 March 2004.
This licence covers 4.8 hectares, and will allow the company to re-open the heart of the Clunes Goldfield. The practical approach that will taken by Mount Rommel Mining Ltd is to continue specifically focusing on the wall rocks, searching for further gold as indicated by previous drill holes. The company will then seek to extract those wall rocks, and the CEO Mr Fred Hunt believes that the further exploration for gold in this area that has a gold production history of over 480,000oz will be an exciting step forward for the future of the Company.

FURTHER ENCOURAGEMENT FROM BROKEN HILL DRILLING
Highlights
Summary
The first drilling phase of the programme of Falcon™ target testing on Gravity's Broken Hill joint venture projects has been completed. Ten target areas were drilled in a reverse circulation programme comprising 41 holes for a total of 6,362 metres.
Encouraging results have been received from Goldfinger (previously reported) and Avondale target areas, while several of the targets tested require further review before further work is planned.
Four target areas were eliminated, encountering rocks with little prospectivity but explaining the source of the Falcon™ gravity anomalies.
A number of targets which were not tested in the initial round of drilling due to access limitations are now being considered for drilling in the next phase of Gravity's exploration work at Broken Hill.

BOARD APPROVES MAJOR BOOST IN EXPLORATION BUDGET FOR TEXAS SILVER PROJECT IN 2004
An exploration budget of AUD$2.4 million has been approved by the Board of Macmin Silver Ltd for the Texas Silver Project in 2004, which is an increase of 50% over the budget for 2003.
Successful exploration by Macmin in recent years has resulted in the definition of the Twin Hills Silver Deposit and identification of the silver mineralised system at Mt Gunyan, highlighting the potential of the area to host both open cut and underground silver mining operations.
The Texas Project area covers in excess of 300 km2. While the majority of exploration activity has focussed on Twin Hills – Mt Gunyan, evidence of silver mineralisation has been found at other places within the Project area. For this reason, an expanded programme investigating areas not previously explored in detail is now proposed.
A grid based soil geochemical sampling programme testing for silver and ‘pathfinder’ elements will be undertaken over areas not previously examined by Macmin or other exploration companies. A high resolution airborne magnetic / radiometric survey will be flown to aid the identification of the structural / geological controls on the mineralising systems. Drilling (percussion, RC and diamond) will continue around the known areas of silver mineralisation such as Mt Gunyan, Mt Gunyan South-East, Back Creek, Back Creek North and Silver Spur. It is anticipated that targets generated by the geochemical and geophysical programmes will also be drill tested.
The recently announced (March 4th) decision by the Macmin Board to proceed with construction and commissioning of a silver processing plant at the Texas Silver Project has now strongly focussed the exploration team’s effort on locating further resources to supplement the already defined reserves at the Twin Hills deposit.

FUND RAISINGS OF $14.5 MILLION COMPLETED AND THE RECEIVER & MANAGER RETIRED
Retirement of the Receiver and Manager
The Board is very pleased to advise shareholders that the Receiver and Manager for Beaconsfield Gold, Mr Garry Trevor of Ferrier Hodgson, who was appointed on 25 June 2001, retired on 12 March 2004 following completion of the Company's capital raisings.
The Company Chairman, Tony Greenwood, said: "This is a very rare event for corporate Australia. The injection of new capital has resulted in a fantastic win-win situation for Beaconsfield Gold shareholders, BankWest, the Beaconsfield Mine, Tasmania in general and the Tamar Valley and surrounding areas in particular. We will be focused on adding value for our shareholders going forward and a primary way of achieving that will be to step up our exploration efforts at Beaconsfield. We want to see the establishment of long-life economic ore resources at the Beaconsfield Mine and we want to thoroughly explore our 100% owned tenements in the area."
Fund Raisings Completed
The Company on 12 March 2004 completed $5.5 million of equity funding provided by "sophisticated investor" clients of Tolhurst Noall Limited. The first $0.431 million of funding had been provided to pay for all the corporate costs necessarily incurred by the Beaconsfield Gold board up until the retirement of the Receiver and Manager and this high-risk funding has been converted into Beaconsfield Gold fully-paid ordinary shares at $0.10 per share. A total of approximately 4.312 million shares have been issued to cover this initial funding.
The balance of the agreed funding, $5.069 million, has been subscribed at $0.23 per Beaconsfield Gold fully-paid ordinary share to facilitate the necessary restructuring of the company's finances with BankWest. A total of approximately 22.038 million shares have been issued to cover this secondary funding. For the total agreed equity funding of $5.5 million, approximately 26.350 million shares have been issued.
The Company on 12 March 2004 also raised $9 million through the issue of 30 million unlisted convertible notes to Gold Investors Pty Ltd, each note convertible into a fully paid Beaconsfield Gold share for $0.30 by 30 June 2006.
Principal terms of the convertible notes include the following:
Restructuring of Debt Facilities with BankWest
Net secured debt for Beaconsfield Gold (BankWest secured debt plus accrued interest less cash held by the Receiver and Manager) had been reduced to $22.7 million at 31 December 2003, having been $32.8 million on 25 June 2001, when the Receiver and Manager was appointed, and having peaked at around $35.0 million in October 2002. $4.5 million of the secured debt was in the form of a convertible note which could be converted into a maximum of 9.0 million fully paid Beaconsfield Gold shares at $0.50 per share by 31 December 2004.
Following the fund raisings and the restructure of the BankWest facililities, Beaconsfield Gold is holding a total of approximately $3.6 million in cash (of which approximately $1.1 million is earmarked to cover near-term expenses) and secured debt with BankWest has been dramatically reduced to approximately $8.3 million.
Under the restructuring, the $4.5 million convertible note with BankWest has been cancelled and Beaconsfield Gold has issued 6.5 million unlisted options to BankWest with an exercise price of $0.30 each on or before 30 June 2006. If BankWest exercises all of the options in the future, the additional funds raised by Beaconsfield Gold would be $1.95 million.
ASX Trading
The Company is now progressing a timetable to enable the lifting of the suspension on trading of the fully-paid ordinary shares (ASX code "BCD") and will make further announcements closer to the recommencement of trading which should occur around end March 2004.

Share Purchase Plan
Icon Energy Limited (Icon) is pleased to invite you to apply for new discounted shares under a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) in your choice of one of the following categories:
| Offer A: | 32,000 ordinary shares @ 2.5 cents each | $800.00 |
| Offer B : | 80,000 ordinary shares @ 2.5 cents each | $2,000.00 |
| Offer C : | 200,000 ordinary shares @ 2.5 cents each | $5,000.00 |
This offer is made to reward loyal shareholders who have been patient over the past three years while Icon's projects were delayed by fund raising activities in the USA, and Native Title delays in Queensland. Shareholders may invest any of the above amounts at their own choice, but must not exceed $5,000. You pay no brokerage or commission or any other transaction costs in relation to this offer. The offer is limited to 56,000,000 (approx 30% of current shares on issues) fully paid ordinary shares at 2.5 cents each and will rank parri passu with existing shares. If demand for shares exceed the total limit, applications will be allocated on a pro rata basis and you may not receive all of the shares you applied for and a refund of the difference will be returned.
The funds raised by this offer will be used for work-over operations on selected wells in the Bayou Choctaw Oilfield in Louisiana USA, and to assist in farming out interests to drill wells in our Australian permits, and also applied to working capital. Icon has applied for two new permits in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin in southwest Queensland, and negotiations have begun on the Right to Negotiate process under the Native Title Act, to award these areas to Icon.
Icon has announced that Enterprise Energy NL has signed a farmin agreement to drill Nulla-Nulla # 1 in Authority to Prospect 549P (West) in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin near the South Australian border in southwest Queensland. The well is programmed to test the Jurassic and Permian petroleum potential on a large structural feature capable of holding approximately 30 million barrels of oil. The well will be drilled mid 2004 and Icon will be carried through to production. Icon's working interest will be 33.33% in the permit after completion of the drilling of the well.
The share offer price represents a discount of 16.67% on the closing share price on Friday 12th March.
Icon has reached an agreement with Sydney Stockbroker, Reynolds and Company, to underwrite $250,000 of this issue. Reynolds have an option to apply for an additional 10,000,000 ordinary shares at 2.5 cents each by way of a placement.
The Company has 2,908 shareholders at February 29, and has received a waiver from the ASX for issue of up to 30% of the current issued capital without shareholder approval, this waiver excludes any issue of securities to underwriters. The underwriter will receive a fee of 5% of funds raised under this issue. Icon expects the issue to be heavily subscribed at this price. This SPP allows small shareholders to subscribe at an attractive price as a reward for past loyalty.

Farmout of Authority to Prospect 549P – West
Icon Energy Limited is pleased to announce that a farmout agreement has been executed with Traditional Oil Exploration NL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise Energy NL. Under the terms of the agreement, Enterprise will drill Nulla Nulla #1 in ATP 549P (West) in the Cooper- Eromanga Basin near the South Australian border on the Queensland side, southwest of Lake Yamma Yamma. The drilling of Nulla Nulla #1 is subject to Enterprise Energy NL raising sufficient funds via a prospectus.
The Nulla Nulla #1 well will test the hydrocarbon potential of the Jurassic and Permian sedimentary sections. It is anticipated that the well will be drilled about July 2004 as soon as a drilling rig can be contracted.
The Nulla Nulla structure is a large anticlinal feature capable of holding 30 million barrels of oil. Nearby wells all intersected hydrocarbons including Katta #1 drilled by Icon in the north of the permit in 1997, where strong oil and gas shows were encountered.
Under the terms of the agreement Icon will be carried for its share of the drilling costs and completion of the well for production, including testing. Icon’s interest in the permit will reduce from 66.66% to 33.33% at the completion of the farmin programme. Enterprise will operate the farmin well.
This well will be the first test in which Icon has participated since 1998 in the Cooper Eromanga Basin.
Icon’s other permits in the basin are affected by Native Title negotiations and these have progressed since the issue of Section 29 notices in August 2003. Icon and its partners are close to final agreement with the claimants over several areas that have been frozen for several years.
More importantly, the agreements will deliver a good result for Native Title Owners who will share many tangible benefits from exploration activities. These benefits and the excellent relationships that have developed during the consultative process have brought us closer together and work will progress on an amicable basis.

WOMBAT 1 RE-ENTRY AND TESTING
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
Lakes Oil (“LKO”) advises that equipment and crew are being mobilised and are due on site at Wombat 1 to begin operations on Monday 15 March 2004.
The program will involve re-entering the original well and running a 7 inch casing to approximately 1200 metres, where it will be tied into the existing 7 inch casing, previously set between 1196 metres to 1757 metres. This is expected to take approximately three to four days.
Halliburton Australia will then carry out a “Stim” mini fracturing technology, which will re-perforate the casing between 1500 metres and 1596 metres. This will involve the re-stimulation of existing perforations and the creation of others in sections of the casing which were not previously tested.
It should be noted that the section selected for re-testing has increased from the 60 metres, previously advised to shareholders, to the current 96 metres. The increase has been as a result of further studies of original drill stem tests and logs.
Should everything go to plan the “Stim” frac which is to be carried out by Halliburton should take place towards the end of next week with preliminary results due shortly after.
Once the re-testing of Wombat 1 has commenced, the rig will no longer be required on site and it is our intention to release it as soon as possible to begin drilling Wombat 2 approximately two kilometres to the south west.
Funding for our current re-testing program and drilling of Wombat 2 has been made possible by the current Shareholder Share Purchase Plan which has been underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited and is scheduled to close on the 15 March 2004.

Subsequent Events
No matters or circumstances of which the Directors are aware, other than those referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto, have arisen since the end of the half year which significantly affect, or may significantly affect, the operations, results or state of affairs of the consolidated entity in financial years after the financial half year, other than as follows:
On 7 January 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Barrick Gold of Australia Limited (BGAL) in respect of its Telfer project tenements. BGAL must spend $5 million to earn a 51% equity in the Telfer project, at which point the Company can elect to either contribute pro-rata or be free carried through to mining with a 25% equity.
Since 31 December 2003, the Company has raised a further $700,000 through the placement of 7,000,000 shares at $0.10 per share, as announced to the Stock Exchange on 13 February 2004. The financial effect of the above transaction has not been brought to account as at 31 December 2003. -

Bankable Feasibility Study for New Plant to Commence
At the forum on Algerian development opportunities held 0n 27 February 2004, the CEO of GMA Resources Plc, Mr Colin Ikin, announced the commencement of a Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") for the construction of a new 300,000 tonne per annum gold mining and mineral processing plant at Amesmessa, approximately 60 kilometres south of the existing processing plant at Tirek. The BFS follows the completion of the recent RC drilling programme and a study of development options which concluded that the construction of a new plant at Amesmessa was economically viable. The BFS will commence immediately and is planned to be completed by mid 2004.
This is a major step forward in the Company's plans for the development of the Tirek/Amesmessa gold project. - Web Site

20% FREE CARRIED JOINT VENTURE ON ELA'S COVERING ~5,500 KM2 IN PNG
AND
PLACEMENT FOR $1 MILLION COMPLETED AT 21c / SHARE
TasGold Ltd signed a Letter of Agreement on 27/2/2004 for a joint venture with Celtic Minerals Limited relating to all 9 of it's Exploration License Applications, covering a total of ~5,500 km2, in the ‘elephant country' of Papua New Guinea (PNG), including the Mt Bini Project that has an ‘upgradeable', gold equivalent Inferred Resource totalling >3.8 million ounces.
The company has agreed to allocate Celtic an 80% equity in TasGold PNG Ltd (the company's wholly owned PNG domiciled subsidiary) in exchange for a non-dilutable 20% free carried interest to bankable feasibility plus closure on all mining and special mining leases granted (hence all economic deposits defined) on the very large area covered by all the ELA's.
Celtic Minerals is a Toronto Venture Exchange listed company that is presently exploring for gold in the PNG Highlands, whose President (Mr John Steele) has extensive mining /exploration experience in the SE Asia region. Celtic is supported by Triple Plate Junction PLC, a London based - AIM listed company that is well cashed up and actively building a high quality exploration portfolio in SE Asia, whose Chairman is highly successful businessman / entrepreneur Ian Gowrie-Smith. The due diligence period for the agreement is ~3 weeks. The PNG Department of Mining is currently processing these ELA's and at this point senior officials of the Department cannot see any obstacles to recommending the granting of these licenses.
TasGold's Board of Directors consider this joint venture to be an excellent outcome that has the potential to provide the company with a relatively large direct equity (20%) in world class gold, porphyry copper/ gold and other mineral resource projects at no further cost prior to mine development / construction.
In addition, Celtic has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to a placement of $1 million in TasGold Ltd at 21 cents per share (share price at that time was 16.9c each). Each share is accompanied by an unlisted, non-transferable option exercisable at 20 cents within five years of issue.
DRILL HOLE INFORMATION AND ASSAY RESULTS FOR SC002, SC003, SC004
Summary
Drillholes SC002, SC003, SC004, were completed at the Sassy Creek Prospect in early February 2004. Surprisingly no significant gold results were obtained from these holes despite strong alteration, minor basemetal mineralisation and the proximity to previous drill holes with anomalous gold values. This is difficult to explain and check assaying of the pulps will be undertaken.
Drill holes SC006 just completed was designed to test the strong gold soil and coincident VLFEM anomaly in the centre of the Pleiades (V30) grid. From 26m to 54m the hole intersected quartz crystal-lithic volcaniclastic breccias with intense pervasive sericite alteration with silica-pyrite altered lithic clasts. The altered volcaniclastics contained variable amounts of disseminated pyrite and sphalerite-galena veining to 5%. Particularly intense alteration and sulphide veining was noted from 36 to 39m. Sphalerite veins are folded and deformed and obviously predate the foliation suggesting the hydrothermal alteration is Cambrian and possibly of volcanogenic origin. These are positive signs in terms of possible gold mineralisation.

Results of Nickel Sulphide & Gold Expl at Gunbarrel Project
The Company has just received (5/3/04) the assay results for the diamond drilling programme completed in December 2003, by Joint Venture Manager WMC Resources Limited at the "AK47" nickel sulphide prospect in the Mt Eureka area, Gunbarrel Project, Western Australia.
The Company has also recently received, compiled and analysed the results of an additional three RC holes it completed at the Central Zone, Southern Gold Prospect in the same Project area towards the end of January.
The results of these programmes are detailed below:
Results of diamond drilling at the "AK47", nickel sulphide prospect.
Cullen Resources Ltd is pleased to announce the base metal assay results from the five hole diamond drilling program (GBD3-7) that was completed at the AK47 nickel sulphide prospect in the Mt Eureka area in December 2003. Results were also received for GBD8 drilled at Anomaly "A2" (303), 1.5km south of AK47. The programme included holes drilled 80m north and 100m south of Hole GBD 2, the discovery hole for nickel sulphides as reported in November 2003.
Five holes (GBD3-7) were drilled to confirm the "A1" EM anomaly at AK47 and to follow up the intersection of massive sulphides in discovery hole GBD2. Three of these new holes have intersected additional magmatic nickel sulphides similar to that in GBD2 (GBD3, 4 and 5) and indicate that the massive nickel sulphide intersected occurs over a strike length of 180m. This is a significant, positive indication of the potential for nickel sulphide mineralization along the ultramafic horizons of Mt Eureka Greenstone Belt, where there has been virtually no diamond drilling for nickel other than the drilling reported herein...
Results of RC drilling at the Southern gold prospect.
A short programme of three RC holes has recently been completed at the Central Zone of the Southern Prospect in the Gunbarrel Project. The drill rig was unsuitable for deep drilling and therefore the deeper(+200m), unoxidised portions of the Central Zone mineralization down plunge to the north east remain untested at present.... - Web Site

Bankable Feasibility Study for New Plant to Commence
At the forum on Algerian development opportunities held today, the CEO of GMA Resources Plc, Mr Colin Ikin, announced the commencement of a Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") for the construction of a new 300,000 tonne per annum gold mining and mineral processing plant at Amesmessa, approximately 60 kilometres south of the existing processing plant at Tirek. The BFS follows the completion of the recent RC drilling programme and a study of development options which concluded that the construction of a new plant at Amesmessa was economically viable.
The BFS will commence immediately and is planned to be completed by mid 2004.
This is a major step forward in the Company's plans for the development of the Tirek/Amesmessa gold project.
GMA Resources Plc owns a 52% controlling interest in ENOR Spa, the Algerian company which owns the Tirek/Amesmessa gold project, with the remaining 48% held by major Algerian institutions. A decision on the development and construction of a plant at Amesmessa is subject to the approval of ENOR shareholders.

HERALD COMPLETES PLACEMENT, PLANS MAJOR EXPLORATION PUSH AT DAIRI PROJECT
PLACEMENT
Herald is pleased to announce that it has made a placement of 2.5m shares at $0.80, raising $2m. The shares were issued to Macquarie Bank and were done without a fee.
Macquarie Bank have been strong supporters of the company by previously:
1) providing loan facilities of $6m for the re opening and development of the Coolgardie Gold Project;
2) providing $0.3m seed capital in offshoot company Corona Gold Ltd to fund grass roots exploration on the Meluak project, Indonesia.(plus may subscribe for additional issues totalling $11.4m);
3) providing a $3m convertible funding facility for completion of the Bankable Feasibility Study on the Dairi Project; and
4) subscribing for this current equity raising to fund exploration and working capital.
DAIRI ZINC/LEAD PROJECT
Whilst infill drilling on the high-grade Anjing Hitam deposit has been virtually continuous since late last year, Herald had ceased greenfields drilling at Dairi while carrying out the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS). The BFS, which is based solely on Anjing Hitam, is expected to be completed in June/July of this year.
The above placement will provide Herald with funds to simultaneously re-commence exploration on a number of other highly promising exploration targets at the Dairi Project, including:
-Sinar Pagi, a high grade lead/silver prospect, approximately 20km north of Anjing Hitam. At Sinar Pagi, channel assay samples from up to 5m widths from a so far identified 200m of vein strike have assayed up to 60% lead and 40 ozs per tonne of silver;
-Lae Jehe, where inferred resources of 8mt of 12% combined zinc/lead have already been delineated;
-Bonkaras, Bululaga and the oxide Basuki Lode, where mineralisation assaying up to 35% Zn is exposed along about 800m of strike over about a 100m vertical extent, but with uncertain overall width.
The Company's geologists will plan an exploration programme to test several of these targets in the short term, while also considering the most probable target to extend mine life following the extraction of the Anjing Hitam reserves (6.3mt @ 16% Zinc, 10% Lead). Lae Jehe, only several hundred of metres north of the proposed treatment facilities, would appear to be the most logical starting place.
Herald is delighted to have Macquarie Bank as a shareholder of the Company, part of an increasing institutional presence on our register as the Dairi Project progresses towards production. Hopefully, this trend also reflects a reduction in some of the perceived sovereign risk concerns that investors have towards mining companies in Indonesia, and which Herald, having operated there since 1996, does not share.

EPL 3022 TSUMKWE, NAMIBIA, BASEMETALS - Significant Basemetal Sampling Result (100%)
The Company is pleased to announce that it has received results from a surface soil geochemical sampling programme conducted over the above tenement.
Samples were taken every 100m along north/south lines spaced 2km apart to test the regional strike extent of the Kihabe basemetals zone, currently being explored by the Company in neighbouring Botswana.
Four consecutive samples, each spaced 100m apart on one north/south line, returned significantly elevated values of zinc and lead as compared to overall average background values (O.A.B.V.) in the area, as follows:
| Zinc |
Lead |
|||
| Width of Elevated Values |
Elevated Average Value |
O.A.B.V. |
Elevated Average Value |
O.A.B.V. |
| 300m |
1266ppm |
54ppm |
340ppm |
48ppm |
Values of up to 2148ppm zinc were recorded. Samples were assayed by ICP method.
As the samples were only collected from lines spaced 2 km apart, further infill soil sampling will be undertaken on north/south lines spaced 100m apart both east and west of the line with the elevated values, to determine the strike length of this anomaly.
This zinc/lead anomaly is some 15 km southwest of the Kihabe Basemetals Project in neighbouring Botswana, which recently returned significant drilling results from drilling a soil geochemical anomaly grading up to 950ppm zinc.
The Company is encouraged by the Tsumkwe results as the grades from this anomaly are some 33% higher than the average grade of the Kihabe soil geochemical anomaly.
Contrary to rumours reported in The West Australian newspaper on Friday 5 March 2004, the Company does not have any plans to float off its Kihabe project.

FALCONTM SURVEY COMMENCES AT EALBARA
Gravity Capital Limited (“Gravity”) is pleased to announce the commencement of a substantial FalconTM airborne gravity gradiometer survey in the Ealbara-Tarcoola region in the central Gawler Craton. The survey is principally designed to cover the eastern sector of Gravity’s 100%-owned tenement holding in the region which is dominated by Hiltaba suite igneous rocks and features numerous concealed ironstone bodies. This area has previously yielded strong gold and copper anomalies from calcrete sampling at prospect areas such as Ealbara, Wilgena, Eva, Ella, Mimi and MB. These prospects have, to date, received very limited drill testing. The prior work has been hampered by extensive transported cover and the reliance on aeromagnetics for targeting. The FalconTM survey is aimed at detecting the non-magnetic higher density haematitic ironstone bodies such as those associated with copper-gold mineralisation at Prominent Hill at Olympic Dam. The Ealbara complex in particular has been highlighted by recent studies as an area of polyphase Hiltaba igneous activity cut by an intense regional fracture system and featuring anomalous gold and copper in calcrete.
The survey will also extend south to the areas of the Harris Greenstone Belt held by Gravity. The komatiitic ultramafic rocks in the Harris Greenstone Belt are known to be nickeliferous and the survey will cover the area adjacent to where Mithril has recently announced a drilling programme focused on a large and well-developed nickel geochemical anomaly.
The survey will cover a little over 1,000 square kilometres at 200 metre line spacing and flying is expected to take about two weeks.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL
The entity incurred a consolidated operating loss of $880,373 for the
half-year ended 31 December 2003 after writing off $435,474 exploration
expenditure previously capitalised.
EXPLORATION
In the onshore Gippsland Basin, Lakes Oil drilled the Wombat-1 well located
four kilometres northwest of the town of Seaspray, in permit PEP 157. The well
is designed to test the Latrobe Group, Golden Beach Formation and Strzelecki
Formation reservoirs. A series of cased hole tests to evaluate the significance
of gas shows encountered whilst drilling has been completed with analysis
continuing.
Since the end of the reporting period, the company has continued with the
drilling and testing of the "Wombat-1" well.
Analysis of core cut in the Alberton Scout hole in permit PEP 158
identified the ‘black sands' encountered in this well as residual
hydrocarbons within the Latrobe Group.
The Patties Pies South-1A well was drilled to a depth of 456 metres in PEP
156 during October 2003. No shows were encountered in the well and it was
subsequently plugged and abandoned suggesting the shows recorded in nearby water
wells were due to solution gas.
In the offshore Gippsland Basin, work has
continued on the Gilbert Prospect in the farmin block. Additional regional
studies have been conducted in the sparsely explored northern portion of this
block. Discussions are being held with a prospective farm-in partner.
Primary Industries and Resources, S.A. has advised that our application for
a retention lease over the Troas Field in EPP 24 has been rejected. Accordingly,
the permit and Lakes'100% working interest and operatorship has lapsed.
Expenditure commitments for exploration activities in progress at 31 December 2003 total $1,242,689. - Web Site

MACMIN ANTICIPATES CONTINUED SILVER PRICE INCREASES BY
CONSTRUCTION OF SILVER MINING & PROCESSING FACILITY
Bob McNeil, Executive Chairman, today announces that the Macmin Board has decided to proceed with construction and commissioning of a silver processing plant and related infrastructure at the Texas Silver Project in SE Queensland Australia. Financing details will be announced in the near future.
As a result of recent increases in the silver price, and as the Board considers that silver prices will continue to rise over the next year, the Board concluded that it is now opportune to prepare for silver production. The objective would be to complete construction by the end of 2004 and plant commissioning by March 2005. This process can be shortened if warranted by silver prices.
As part of processing commissioning, it is intended to trial various heaps and dumps of ore of up to 200,000 tonnes, using among other things, innovative blasting patterns to facilitate fracturing of the ore which could lead to improved recoveries.
Silver/gold production rate will be determined in 2005, dependent on the silver price prevailing at the time; technical results from the commissioning process; and the results of the ongoing resource definition drilling. Initial production (may be increased in the future) is likely to be between two and three million ozs of silver equivalent.
The Board has also today agreed on a major increase in exploration expenditure at the Texas Silver Project for the remainder of 2004. Budgeted expenditure is of the order of $2.4 million. Further details will be released in the near future. - Web Site

Gold industry comes to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane
Investors living in Australia’s largest cities can get direct contact with the country’s leading gold companies when the industry’s first national roadshow comes to town in three weeks.
Private investors, people with Self Managed Funds, or those just interested in finding out more about one of Australia’s largest industries can attend the FREE Gold Prospects Investors’ Days from 26 – 28 March in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
The first event will be held in Brisbane on 26 March, followed by Sydney on 27 March and Melbourne on 28 March.
The Gold Prospects days are a unique opportunity for investors to hear why they should have gold stocks in their portfolio and which ones they should choose. Many of the companies are located outside these cities and investors do not often have direct contact with them.
These FREE events are being organised by the Australian Gold Council and supported by leading investment bank, ABN AMRO, and Australia’s largest retail stockbroker and investment adviser, ABN AMRO Morgans.
CEO of the Australian Gold Council, Tamara Gorrie, said that Gold Prospects was a great opportunity for investors to meet and speak with leaders of the gold industry and assess the potential of investing in gold shares.
“With the price of gold recently rising to its highest levels since 1996, now is a good time to consider investing in the gold industry via listed equities.
“We encourage investors to take advantage of this rare opportunity to hear from the leading companies in the Australian gold industry. By attending Gold Prospects, investors will also have the chance to win $1,000 worth of shares in one of the companies presenting,” Ms Gorrie said.
Global Head of Mining and Metals at ABN AMRO, Terry Burgess, said the value of many gold shares has increased, and if the positive outlook continues it is well worth investors considering gold shares for their portfolios.
“We are delighted to be involved in these events where leading figures from the Australian gold industry will outline the prospects for their companies and their thoughts on where the industry is heading,” Mr Burgess said.
Up to 18 companies will present on each of the Gold Prospects days, which are being held at Brisbane City Hall on 26 March, The National Maritime Museum in Sydney on 27 March and The Victorian Arts Centre in Melbourne on 28 March. Each day runs from 10.00am to 4.30pm and entry is free.

United States of America Update
Today Icon commenced a work-over well operation in the Bayou Choctaw Oilfield in Louisiana, USA.
The well, Morley Cypress B-1, has been off-line and the work-over operation will allow the well to be returned to production at approximately 20 BOPD.
This production will assist in the maintenance of the “Held By Production” (HBP) status of the Victory Financial Lease in the Bayou Choctaw Oilfield.
Oil production is sold under a contract with the Placid Refining Company LLC, Port Allen, Louisiana USA. Gas is produced from this well at the rate of approximately 200,000 cubic feet per day and is used to run the production facilities in the field.
Icon expects to announce additional drilling operations in the Bayou Choctaw Field in April 2004, subject to the finalisation of negotiations with a farmin partner.
Icon Oil US LLC ( a wholly owned subsidiary of Icon Energy Limited) is the operator and holds a 57.5% interest in the Victory Financial Lease.

Revised Profit Forecast Following Port Incident
On 25 February 2004, the Directors of Macarthur Coal Limited (ASX: MCC, MCCG) announced that the derailment of the reclaiming machine at the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT) will affect Macarthur Coal's 2003/04 shipping program. Macarthur Coal is now able to advise that NPAT for the 2003/04 year is expected to be $4.0 to $5.5 million compared with the previous forecast announced on 9 February 2004 of $6.0 to $7.5 million.
The $2.0 million change to NPAT primarily relates to:
Assumptions used in the revised profit forecast include:
Force majeure has been declared as a consequence of the reduction in throughput capacity at DBCT.
Commenting on the revised profit forecast, Macarthur Coal CEO Ken Talbot said "The company is doing everything it can to mitigate the impact of the incident on customers and shareholders. We are fast tracking plans to utilise alternative port facilities. We are also working very closely with customers to manage the shipping program in accordance with the reduced capacity and will endeavour to ensure that their requirements are met.
"We will continue to advise the market of all material developments as they arise," Mr Talbot added.

Argyle on fast track
Queensland Gas Company (QGC) will push towards the development of its Argyle gas field following impressive early gas flow rates from its coal seam gas wells in ATP620P and significant encouragement from major gas consumers in South East Queensland.
QGC today announced the appointment of independent reserves certifier Netherland, Sewell & Associates Inc to ascribe proven reserves to the existing Argyle wells. The Company’s Managing Director Richard Cottee said this program would target proven reserves of between 10 and 20 petajoules (PJ), and represent the first stage of a major certification program for the field.
“Over the next two years, QGC aims to deliver over 200 PJ of proven gas reserves for Argyle from an estimated gas-in-place resource of 2,300 PJ,” he said.
Aggregate production from the three wells at Argyle averaged 530 thousand cubic feet per day (mcfd) during February. Two of the wells are free-flowing gas and water without pumping, with Argyle #4 flowing gas as high as 536 mcfd and averaging 305 mcfd for the month.
“We believe that with the development at Berwyndale South later this year and the certification of reserves at Argyle the interests of our shareholders are best served by developing these fields together, without BHP Billiton and the additional complication of competing equity interests,” Mr Cottee said.
In the last week, QGC recorded combined gas flows of over one million cubic feet per day from the Berwyndale South and Argyle wells. At Berwyndale South in ATP632P, gas rates have reached 377 mcfd.
Mr Cottee said work was progressing on detailed plans for the Berwyndale South development as well as the 10 km lateral pipeline which will link the field to the existing Roma to Brisbane Pipeline.
“We have now delivered the technical feasibility study to our joint venture partner CS Energy and have narrowed the pipeline route to two alternatives, subject to survey results,” he said.
QGC has a 59.375% interest in ATP620P (Argyle) and a 50% interest in ATP632P (Berwyndale South). - Web Site
