MINERAL DEPOSITS

$12.5M Capital Raising

Institutional Placement:	25 million shares placed at $0.42 per share (raising $10.5 million)

Shareholder Share Purchase Plan:	Five million shares offered at $0.40 per share (to raise $2.0 million)

All 30 million shares will rank equally with all other issued ordinary shares.

PLACEMENT DETAILS

The board of Mineral Deposits Limited ("MDL") is pleased to announce that the company has conditionally placed 25 million new ordinary shares in the company to various investors at $0.42 per share to raise $10.5 million (before costs). The placement, which is subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting to be held on 31 December 2004, has attracted local and overseas institutional investors which include, amongst others, Actis Capital LLP (a London based, leading private equity investor in emerging markets - www.act.is), African Lion 2 (in which AuSelect has a 32.2% interest - ASX code AUS), Macquarie Bank and Bell Asset Management. The issue has been managed by Wilson HTM Limited.

SHAREHOLDER SHARE PURCHASE PLAN ("SSPP")

The company is also offering current shareholders the opportunity to participate in the 2004 SSPP. Under the terms of the SSPP, the company will offer a maximum of five million new ordinary shares on a first-in first-allotted basis at $0.40 per share to raise $2 million. This price represents a discount to the current prevailing price. Under the terms of the SSPP, shareholders will be able to acquire a minimum of 5,000 to a maximum of 12,500 new shares under the terms described above. The record date for determining entitlements is 25 November 2004.

USE OF FUNDS RAISED

The extra funds raised will be used to provide additional working capital in order to further advance the company's feasibility study on its Senegalese mineral sands project (Grande Côte Zircon Project) and undertake a substantial drilling and metallurgical programme on the recently awarded Sabodala Gold Project, also in Senegal.

LAKES OIL

TESTING UPDATE
PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA

Lakes Oil (“LKO”) advises that a test is planned over the interval 2104 metres to 2107 metres in the Wombat 3 well next Tuesday 30 November and Wednesday 1 December. This test is designed to access a gas “kick” and oil fluorescence which occurred during drilling, but could not be tested at that time, due to the inability to obtain testing equipment.

Lakes Oil also advises that equipment is due to begin arriving onsite at the North Seaspray 3 well on 5 December in preparation to drill a 300 metre horizontal underbalanced extension to the current well.

It is planned to drill horizontally using a coiled tubing unit, in the hope we can increase the gas previously encountered in this well to commercial levels.

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 PEP 157.

Preliminary Results - Ellis-2 Well, Oklahoma
Main Points
Ellis-2 reached a final total depth of 11,750 feet (3,581 metres) in the Chester Limestone. Wireline
logs have been run and casing run and cemented to a depth of 11,432 feet.
Gas pay is indicated in three units:
Cleveland sand - 24 feet indicated net gas pay, gross interval 8,852’ – 8,900’
Morrow B sand - 15 feet indicated net gas pay, gross interval 11,056’ – 11,074’
Morrow C sand - 36 feet indicated net gas pay, gross interval 11,152’ – 11,196’
Total net pay – 75 feet (23 metres)
The testing programme will consist of fracturing the C and B units and comingling the flow. The
Cleveland sand is much higher in the section and will probably be tested with a separate well.
The D, E and Atoka sands did not indicate gas pay.

Ellis-1 Well - Successful Fracture of Morrow C Sand
Main Points
A successful fracture treatment of the “Morrow C” sand was performed two days ago and
preliminary flow back and pressure data looks very positive. The frac procedure used 55,000
pounds of ceramic proppant. Approximately 600 bbls of the 750 bbls of frac fluid used has been
recovered at a pressure of approximately 600-1200psi. The well was shut in for 12 hours and gas
pressure built up to 2200psi. A composite plug has now been set and the fracturing of the B zone
will commence tomorrow. After the B zone is fractured it will be allowed to clean up and the
composite plug will then be drilled out to allow the B & C zone to flow together.
A further announcement will be made once a stabilised flow rate is achieved. - Web Site

DRAGON MINING

SVARTLIDEN PLANT COMPLETION AND COMMISSIONING PROGRESS UPDATE

Dragon Mining reports that since taking full control of final completion and commissioning of the treatment plant at Svartliden on the 17th of November it has completed plans and schedules that should see practical completion of the plant achieved in late January and gold production following in February.

Dragon has moved quickly to assemble a team of experienced construction and commissioning personnel from Australian, Swedish and Finnish engineering companies and they are moving rapidly in addressing final construction tasks, and progressive commissioning of plant components.

Dragon is also pleased to report that geochemical surveys of it new Orgsjön Project south of Svartliden have returned very high level gold anomalies of up to 200ppb gold in till cover over a Svartliden type target area. This follows similar encouraging results from exploration over a number of target areas adjacent to the Svartliden Project reported in September. Drilling of these and other targets will commence in the northern summer. - Web Site

EQUINOX MINERALS

Equinox Minerals Limited (TSX and ASX symbol: “EQN”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Mr Harry Michael as Chief Operating Officer to lead the development of the company’s major Lumwana Copper Project in Zambia.

Mr Michael is a mining engineer with extensive mine development and operational experience, within Australia and internationally. He also has considerable corporate management and financing experience, having been directly involved in the listing of companies in Australia and Toronto, and in the debt and equity financing of a number of major mining projects in Africa.

As Chief Executive Officer of Geita Gold Mining Ltd in Tanzania, he had overall responsibility for the exploration, feasibility, construction and operation of the 600,000 oz per year Geita Gold Mine, one of the largest open cut gold mines in Africa (a joint venture between Ashanti Goldfields and AngloGold). The Geita project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget and with all production and cost expectations exceeded.

Prior to this, Mr Michael was General Manager of the large open cut Iduapriem Gold Mine in Ghana for Ashanti Goldfields and has held senior management positions with Placer Dome at its Granny Smith and Porgera Gold Mines in Australia and Papua New Guinea respectively. Most recently, Mr Michael has had responsibility for managing the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) for Centamin Egypt’s Sukari Gold Project. Mr Michael is also a director of Red Back Mining Inc, a TSX listed company and has been overseeing the overall technical direction and construction of the company’s Chirano Gold Project in Ghana.

Equinox Chief Executive Officer Mr Craig Williams said that Mr Michael’s experience with large open-cut mining operations in Africa was highly valued given the scale of the Lumwana development.

“With Measured and Indicated Resources of 269 million tonnes averaging 0.8% copper, plus an additional Inferred Resource totalling 632 million tonnes at an average 0.6% copper, defined by the company’s Bankable Feasibility Study, Lumwana represents one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the world.”

“Given Harry’s international experience with large scale mining operations, particularly in Africa, and his proven capability in delivering construction ahead of schedule and below budget while exceeding production and cost expectations, Equinox is well-placed to realise the full potential of the Lumwana resource.” - Web Site

Further Main Zone intersections below current design pit floor
Intersections of 13 metres at 7.5g/t and 26 metres at 6.9g/t have been recorded 180 metres below the pit floor (100 metres below the Pre-feasibility design pit floor).
These intersections correspond with the recently reported 28 metres at 9.3g/t - approx 120 metres to the south.
The second intersection included 2 metres of massive sulphide assaying 1.8 percent lead, 14.8 percent zinc and 103g/t silver.
Additional gold intersections in Hole SMDD65 of up to 10 metres at 2.9g/t also support the recent East Zone (north) results.
Exploration activity remains at a high level.
Ten holes have been completed (six around the pit, principally East Zone and Main Zone and four at Crackerjack) with results awaited.
A further 65 holes (720 metres) have been completed with the fifth rig on site
– an aircore unit testing the tailings dam.
The widths and grade intersected below the current pit design indicate the potential for extensions to the resource. - Web Site

GRAVITY DIAMONDS

APPOINTMENT OF NEW CHAIRMAN

Gravity Diamonds Limited ("Gravity") is pleased to announce shareholder ratification of the earlier appointment of Dr Bobby Danchin as a director of the company at yesterday's Annual General Meeting. As foreshadowed in the notification of his appointment as a non-executive director in an ASX release dated 1 October 2004, Dr Danchin has therefore been elected by the board to the position of non-executive chairman of the company.

Dr Danchin was the Chief Executive Officer of Anglo American PLC's Exploration and Acquisitions Division and the Anglo American Group Deputy Technical Director (Geology). He was an executive director of Anglo American Corporation of South Africa Limited. In 1980, he joined Stockdale Prospecting Limited (an Australian subsidiary of De Beers) as Chief Geologist, based in Australia. He remained with that company for 15 years, eventually becoming Exploration Manager leading up its Australian-based diamond exploration programme.

The board considers that the election of Dr Danchin as non-executive chairman of the company will assist it in building a successful diamond exploration company, active in both Australia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The board also passed a vote of thanks to Mr Nic Limb who, while he has relinquished the role of executive chairman after two years, will continue to serve as an executive director of the company. The board further expressed its thanks to Dr David Isles, another long-standing member of the board, who stepped down at the conclusion of the AGM in order to enable him to better contribute to the objectives of offshoot Stellar Resources Limited ("Stellar"), of which he is an executive director.

Stellar will hold its first AGM on 10 December 2004. As previously indicated, its listing on the ASX is expected to occur by the end of the year.

MACMIN SILVER / NEW GUINEA GOLD

PRESS RELEASE

BULLDOZER TRENCHING CONFIRMS MAJOR COPPER/MOLYBDENUM SYSTEM AT SIMUKU - PAPUA NEW GUINEA

Vancouver 23^rd November 2004. New Guinea Gold corporation (NGG) advises that bulldozer trench 2 at Simuku porphyry copper/molybdenum prospect (90% NGG, 10% W.S.Yeaman) encountered substantial intervals of copper and molybdenum mineralisation.

The results are considered excellent for surface samples, particularly in view of the current geological interpretation of the prospect that there has been substantial leaching of copper minerals from the surface environment. We would expect substantially higher grades at depth within a secondary enriched chalcocite (copper) "blanket". NGG believes that potential exists to define two styles of mineralisation at Simuku.

near surface secondary enriched copper mineralisation consisting primarily of chalcocite with copper grades of 0.5% to 1.0% copper.

zones of primary molybdenum/copper mineralisation with grades of 0.03% to 0.05% of MoS2, 0.3% to 0.5% copper, and minor gold (0.05 to 0.1g/t gold)..........

BEMAX

Update on Company Activities

With debt and equity funding for the Pooncarie Project now in place through Terms Sheets with ABN AMRO NV (Australian Branch) (‘ABN') and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (‘ANZ') and a fully underwritten equity raising through Ord Minnett Limited, respectively, the development and construction of the Pooncarie Project is well underway. In this period of intense growth and activity, I thought it an appropriate time to give shareholders an update on the Company and its activities.

Corporate Activities

On 14 October 2004, Terms Sheets providing a debt facility of up to A$88 million were accepted by Bemax from ABN and ANZ. Additional facilities, including bank guarantee facilities, have also been secured totaling up to A$20 million. The equity raising, which is due to close on 24 November, is fully underwritten by Ord Minnett Limited and will raise a total of $74.4 million.

With this funding in place, Bemax have engaged specialist financial risk managers to provide treasury functions and hedging advice. Bemax intends to put in place an appropriate hedging strategy to maximize the return from the Pooncarie Project.

The support of our largest shareholder, Cristal, in the equity raising shows again their long term commitment to Bemax and our success in the Murray Basin. It is an exciting time for the mineral sands industry with booming growth in China and steadily rising demand in other markets, assuring a favourable market place for feedstock suppliers. Cristal is continuing to expand its pigment plant in Saudi Arabia and has recently recorded its highest profit in several years.

I look forward to welcoming our new institutional and strategic investors who have participated in the equity raising at the upcoming AGM and would encourage all shareholders to attend the AGM which is to be held at the Hotel InterContinental, Sydney at 10am on 30 November 2004.

Project Activities

The Project definition and planning phase is now almost complete. Contracts covering more than 60% of the total capital cost are in the final stages of documentation and have been secured within budget.

Ausenco Limited has been engaged to deliver the Broken Hill Mineral Separation Plant and the Gingko Mine Heavy Mineral Concentrate Processing Facilities. Ausenco Limited is currently executing projects globally with a total value in excess of $A2 billion and has an internationally recognised reputation for delivering mining projects.

Roche Mining (MT) have been engaged to deliver the Wet Concentration Plant for the Ginkgo Mine site. Roche have been the dominant designer and supplier of mineral separation facilities for many decades.

Worley Group Limited, as the Project Management Contractor, has established a core team in their Adelaide office and is on schedule for the transition into the Project execution phase in the New Year. With the increase in site activity at Ginkgo and Broken Hill, further key Bemax personnel are now being permanently located in the Murray Basin.

Notifications to landholders and various Government agencies required for commencement of construction are in the process of being given for commencement of site works in January 2005. The first piece of major plant, being the Amanda II Dredge, has now been completely relocated to Bemax's refurbishment yard in Broken Hill for upgrade and reconditioning works.

All the above activities have been on schedule for the previously announced production start up target for the mine of the fourth quarter of 2005 with sales in early 2006.

Existing Operations

Bemax's Western Australian operations continue to perform well with the new Ludlow mine due to be commissioned next month. In addition to the processing of material from our own mines, toll treatment through the Bunbury mineral separation plant continues to increase.- Web Site

MACMIN SILVER / NEW GUINEA GOLD

NEWS RELEASE

ALLEMATA , BISMARCK, MT NAKRU, MT PENCK UPDATE

PURCHASE OF DRILL RIG

Vancouver 22^nd November 2004. Exploration programs to define drill targets for the new year are in progress at the Allemata (50% New Guinea Gold, 50% Vangold), Bismarck (50% New Guinea Gold 50% Vangold) & Mt Nakru (effective 75% New Guinea Gold, 25% Vangold) properties. All programs, based on visual observations, appear to be generating encouraging results.

Assays results has been slow because (a) the samples have to be dispatched by ship from Papua New Guinea to certified laboratories in either Townsville or Brisbane in Australia, (b) laboratories now have long lead times for assays because of the volume of work from expanded exploration programs by many companies.

1. Bismarck Gold Property

Eight hand dug trenches totaling 1,800 metres have been completed at the Awale Prospect. Approximately 540 samples (trench and rock chip) have been collected and shipped to ALS Laboratories in Townsville, Australia. Results should be available mid/late December.

Many of the trenches contained argillically altered shale and siltstone, with associated brecciation and limonite veining. One trench contained stockwork quartz-sulphide veining. The zone of stockwork and brecciation is of ‘considerable' (radio communication from field camp) width, can be traced in a NW and SE direction and is open-ended in both directions.

Pannable gold was traced to a large (50mx50m) oxidised breccia outcrop. This was mapped and sampled in detail. Fine alluvial gold is present in virtually all creeks draining the area covered by trenches.

2. Allemata Gold Property

Exploration is proceeding well at Allemata, but the field crew will break in early December for a "Christmas Break".

The programme consists of two phases, the first completed in the Kaiyahedebadeba Creek area (or the western portion of the Milne Bay Goldfield) and the second in the Ulo Ulo Mine area (or eastern portion of the Milne Bay Goldfield). The first phase is now complete and, with the approval of landowners from the Ulo Ulo area, personnel and heavy equipment (Komatsu D65EX bulldozer and Hitachi 290 excavator) have now moved to Ulo Ulo.

Some of the achievements of the first phase of the program include:

Extension from the base-line of 3 soil lines in the NE of the Haluba Prospect with soil sampling along these lines every 25 m.
Extension of hand dug trenches to the ENE on trench 4, 5 and 6 to test the NNE trending breccia zone in the Haluba prospect area and collection of samples at 4 m intervals on the extended trenches.
Bulldozer and excavator have been used to clean out the old bulldozer trenches on the Haluba prospect so they can be mapped and re-sampled. Sampling completed on portions of these trenches not previously sampled.
Extension of 4 soil lines to the west of the Haluba prospect.
Four excavator test-pits completed on the extensive area of surficial pisolite gravels between Wabalam and Kaiyahedebadeba Creeks.
New excavator trench of 155 m length over the soil anomaly to the west of the Haluba prospect, trench mapped and sampled.
Cleaning out of old hand-dug contour trench at Bwaha prospect, extension of this trench 50m on both ends and sampling at 4m intervals.
All other old hand-dug trenches at Bwaha have been cleaned out for mapping.
1:500 scale mapping at Kaiyahedebadeba and at Bwaha is complete.
Several hundred trench and rock samples are being dried and held at our Alotau office awaiting dispatch by ship to Townsville, Australia on 03 December 2004. Assay results should be available in January 2005.

3. Mt Nakru Porphyry Copper/Gold Property

The Mt Nakru property is presently being explored by bulldozer trenching at Nakru 1 prospect to define the significance of previous trench intersections such as 245m of 0.80g/t gold. Further trenches are in progress 200m to the north and south of the above trench but will not be completed until early in 2005. No assays are expected before the first quarter of 2005.

Exploration is inhibited at Mt Nakru by up to 8m of volcanic ash which overlies and obscures the mineralised system (similar to the Feni Project). Definitive exploration requires extensive drilling or bulldozer trenching to create outcrop beneath the ash cover.

Mt Nakru consists of four separate but closely spaced copper/gold occurrences. The majority of previous work has focused on Nakru 1 and 2 prospects. At Nakru 1, the target was defined by a 1500 x 500m copper soil anomaly as defined by the 200ppm contour. The 200ppm copper contour enclosed a roughly "figure 8 shaped" 800mx400m soil gold anomaly, as defined by the 50ppb gold contour, the highest value being 3.5g/t gold. The area is also anomalous with respect to arsenic, molybdenum, and tellurium. Values of > 1000ppm copper generally correspond to the higher gold values. Over 2.5 km of earlier bulldozer trenching defined higher grade zones of gold mineralisation including 45m at 2.5 g/t gold, 25m at 1.37 g/t gold, 35m at 1.20 g/t gold and 245m at 0.8 g/t gold.

A total of 9 diamond drill holes (for 1285.6m) by earlier explorers including New Guinea Gold, returned several significant copper-gold intercepts including: NAK001 - 50m at 0.4% copper, NAK002 - 8m at 1.13 g/t gold, NAK003 - 94m at 0.46g/t gold and 0.43% copper, Q74D6 - 204m at 0.4% copper including 74 m at 0.78% coppAt Nakru1 mineralisation is located in the SW corner of a fault graben, associated with a well developed set of low sulphide quartz veins and stockwork, and a later high sulphide vein set, both hosted by rhyodacite lithic tuff breccia and massive rhyodacite (flow domes?). The quartz veins and high sulphide veins are well developed in a core silica-clay-pyrite alteration zone, although the veins appear to post-date this alteration. The quartz veins in particular carry significant chalcopyrite, minor gold and anomalous molybdenum, bismuth +/- silver, tellurium and antimony. The best primary copper mineralisation as defined by surface mapping and nine diamond drill holes occurs within an area roughly 250m by 250m with drill indicated grades of around 0.5% copper. There are possible extensions of this zone to the NE, as defined by previous trenching. The widespread occurrence of mineralised (up to 32 g/t gold) lithic breccia clasts in colluvium (or diatreme) at Nakru 1 also suggest potential for discovery of a significant bedrock source of hypogene gold mineralisation, in addition to porphyry copper/gold mineralisation.

At Nakru 2, rock chip sampling, and costean mapping and channel sampling found higher grade gold and copper mineralisation (mixed oxide sulphide) associated with vug fill between relic rock fragments in argillized, silicified tuffs. Copper minerals were chalcopyrite, with covellite and chalcocite rinds and fracture fillings. The best results included nearly adjacent zones of mineralisation of 25m at 1.43% copper (no significant gold, zinc, molybdenum values) and 24m at 1.06 g/t gold and 0.04% copper, with the best rock chip sample returning 19.1% copper.

4. Mt Penck Gold Property

Geological mapping and channel sampling of trenches, drill roads at Kavola East prospect has been completed. Samples have been dispatched by ship to Australia for assay but results are not expected until January.

UPDATE - STAGE II CAMDEN GAS PROJECT

20 Well Drilling Program
Sydney Gas Ltd provides the following update upon its current 20 production well
drilling program within Stage II of its Camden Gas Project. All 20 wells are being
drilled upon Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute (“EM”) land near Camden,
being Crown land managed by NSW Department of Primary Industries – Agriculture.

EM 15 Reaches Total Depth
As planned, EM 15 production well, located less than 3 km from the site of the
Rosalind Park Gas Plant (“RPGP”) that is nearing completion at Campbelltown, was
successfully drilled to a total depth of 623m on 18 November 2004. Within the upper
Permian Illawarra Coal Measures, the Bulli coal seam was intersected at a depth of
554m-557m and the Balgownie coal seam was intersected at a depth of 566m-568m.

EM 13 Spudded
In keeping with Sydney Gas’ current drilling program, EM 13 production well was
spudded on 19 November 2004. It is planned that EM 13 will intersect the Bulli coal
seam within the upper Permian Illawarra Coal Measures at a depth of approximately
581m, and reach a total depth of approximately 646m.

Production Test/Gas Sales
The 20 EM production wells are being drilled inside Sydney Gas’ high production
fairway within Stage II of the Camden Gas Project. Once drilled, these wells will be
fracture stimulated and completed. When dewatered, these wells will be put on a
production flow test program.

It is planned to then tie these 20 EM production wells, plus the other 40 Stage II
production wells already drilled and completed to date, into the gas gathering system
that will deliver gas to the RPGP once commissioned, for sale to AGL Wholesale Gas
Ltd. - Web Site

Xstrata Offer to Acquire WMC Materially Inadequate

WMC notes the announcement made by Xstrata today that it intends to make a conditional takeover offer for WMC at a price of $6.35 per share.

WMC reiterates that the offer fails to recognize the current and prospective value of WMC's assets and the strategic benefits to Xstrata or other potential acquirers.

Since the announcement of Xstrata's conditional proposal on 28th October 2004, WMC's share price has been trading substantially in excess of the offer price.

WMC will continue to keep its shareholders fully informed and a further announcement will be made in due course. - Web Site

CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

Since its foundation nearly eight years ago, Malachite Resources has been exploring for gold,
silver and base metals in eastern Australia. For most of that period, the Company has
focussed on New South Wales and in particular, the relatively neglected New England region
of this state. Over the past year, however, we have begun to spread our wings a little further,
with commencement of work in Tasmania and in north Queensland. While it is early days yet
in relation to those more far flung projects, we are encouraged by the initial results and expect
them to play a key role in our future.

Malachite’s business plan is built on the potential to create shareholder wealth by the
discovery of new mineral deposits. History shows that great increase in value can occur in a
junior resource company like Malachite when exploration success leads to the identification of
a major new resource. Traditionally, the steepest part of the value curve reflects the first big
ore discovery. From the outset, our key strategy has been to make just such a discovery, with
the potential to generate cash flow from mining operations an important but longer term
objective. Over the past year your Company has made good progress in both respects and
over the next six months or so we are offering our shareholders exposure to the possibility of
three separate ore discoveries, two of which could be world class, while the third, although
perhaps not of world class, could well represent our most likely and fastest route to cash flow.

I mentioned that the New England region has been relatively neglected for modern
exploration, at least in comparison with the Lachlan Fold Belt in the New South Wales Central
West. We believe that such neglect is ill-founded, especially when it is appreciated that the
New England Fold Belt in NSW has over 6,000 known mineral occurrences and that the
Queensland part of the same fold belt hosts such important goldfields as Mt Morgan and
Gympie. We believe that it is only a matter of time before a major ore discovery is made in
northern NSW and in that context it is very significant that Straits Resources Limited has
acquired the moth-balled Hillgrove gold mine, near Armidale, and is actively drilling up
resources there with a view to re-opening Hillgrove as a modern, major gold mine. They are
targeting 1 million ounces of gold equivalent (taking into account the important antimony coproduct
at Hillgrove) and seem to be well on the way to achieving that target in the near future.
It is perhaps a further endorsement of both Malachite and the New England region that Straits
has increased its shareholding in Malachite to 7.5%, becoming our second biggest
shareholder in the process............. - Web Site

Ellis-1 Well – Status Update
Main Points
The fracturing programme for the Ellis-1 well is continuing. Due to the demand for frac crews they are not continuously available and thus we have to wait for suitable windows for their return.
Preparations are underway to continue with the programme and the next zone "C" has been perforated. A large percentage of the frac fluid from the previous zone has been recovered and gas flows were associated with the swabbing operations. In the interests of operational efficiency and to fit in with available windows for frac crew availability we have set a plug over the "D" zone and will wait until all frac operations are completed before assessing the ultimate potential of the well.

Ellis-2 Well - Oklahoma
Main Points
Ellis-2 is drilling ahead at a depth of 11,520 feet (3,511 metres) in the Chester Formation. Final depth for the well should be reached on the weekend. The hole will be conditioned and wireline logs run. High gas shows were observed as expected throughout the drilling of the Morrow reservoir section. - Web Site

SITE CLEARING UNDERWAY AT TWIN HILLS SILVER MINE

The recent successful Rights Issue to shareholders which raised $5.2M has allowed detailed site planning to begin prior to commencement of construction in 2005 at the Twin Hills Silver Mine.

Site clearing of trees and other vegetation in the ore processing area (i.e. heap leach pads, solution ponds and silver recovery plant) will commence on November 23 and be completed by the end of January.

Warren Brown has been appointed Construction Supervisor, based at Texas. Warren's previous position was Services Superintendent for Foxleigh Mining in Central Queensland, and he has over 30 years experience in civil construction and earthmoving.

Development activities currently underway to support site infrastructure include the following:

Phone upgrade is in progress to allow several phone lines to access mine office.

Orders for radio equipment have been placed to provide a company exclusive radio link (two UHF frequencies) across the minesite.

Country Energy have confirmed electricity supply upgrade potential for the project. The most practical option for supply is a new line (about 6km) and a quotation for that line is in preparation.

Final negotiations are underway with Electro-Metals Technologies Ltd in regard to the purchase of a 180 cell silver powder plant (EM-EW plant).

Award of North Perth Basin exploration permit EP 437

Norwest Energy NL as part of the EP 437 joint venture is pleased to announce that it has been granted Application L02/6 (also known as Application No. 2/02-03), as petroleum exploration permit EP 437 effective 8 November 2004.
The Joint Venture applied for the gazetted area L2-06 in the northern Perth Basin, located between Dongara and Geraldton, in April 2003. The Joint Venture was subsequently offered the permit as Application No. 2/02-03, subject to Native Title approvals. These approvals are now complete and the offer of the permit by the Minister for State Development has been accepted by the Joint Venture.
The process leading to the grant of the Permit has required the co-operation of all the parties involved and the Joint Venture is pleased to acknowledge the constructive and co-operative nature of the Native Title Parties in this process. We now look forward to undertaking a vigorous exploration program on the Permit.
EP 437 lies immediately to the northwest of the L1/L2 Production Licences and contains similar geological structures to the recent oil discoveries at Jingemia and Eremia. Numerous oil and gas shows have been encountered in previous drilling on the permit, however, none of the wells on the permit have been drilled on valid structural closures. The southern part of the permit has a relatively sparse grid of existing seismic coverage and a number of attractive leads have been identified. The permit work program for the first year is the acquisition of gravity and magnetics data with a 50 km 2D survey required for the second permit year.
The Terrex seismic acquisition crew will be acquiring the Denison 3D seismic survey for the L1/L2 Joint Venture to the south of EP 437 over the next few months and it is likely that, subject to joint venture and other necessary approvals, the 3D coverage will be extended into the southern part of EP 437. Additional 2D data may also be acquired on EP 437 at the conclusion of the 3D survey.
The activity in the general area, including drilling, seismic acquisition and infrastructure development means that there is an opportunity to accelerate the exploration program on this very prospective permit.
Participants in EP 437 are:
• Norwest Energy NL (via wholly owned subsidiary Westranch Holdings Pty Ltd) - 33 1/3%
• ARC Energy Limited – 33 1/3% (Operator)
• Cal Energy Gas (Australia) Limited - 33 1/3%- Web Site

Exciting New Drill Results - Basuki Lode

Concurrently with finalizing the Bankable Feasibility Study on the high-grade Anjing Hitam deposit, Herald has been conducting small exploration programs on different styles of mineralization known to be present at the Dairi Project.
The latest target selected was the Basuki Lode trend, where a two hole diamond program has now been completed in the central part. The Basuki Lode is located about 1.5km NW from Anjing Hitam.
The first diamond drill hole, drilled roughly perpendicular to strike, obtained the following high grade intercept:

Hole SOP164D 19m @ 29.4% Zn

from 30m depth, underlain by 23m @ 4.07% Zn. The above was in a broad zone of limonitic/hematitic clays with a zone rich in hemimorphite (zinc silicate mineral). The hole bottomed in dolostone, encountered between 70-86m.
The second hole SOP165D, drilled obliquely from the same collar location, was aborted at 52m because of drilling difficulties. Assays for this hole are not yet available. Core recovery in both holes was patchy in parts. - Web Site

Collurabbie drilling signals new nickel province

Drill results released today from the WMC Resources Ltd (WMC) managed Collurabbie Project indicate the potential for a new nickel sulphide province in the north eastern goldfields of Western Australia.

Drilling at the Olympia Prospect within the Collurabbie Joint Venture tenement (WMC Resources 70%/Falcon Minerals 30%) has returned a series of high value intersections of nickel, copper and platinum group metals.

The most recent assay results include a 5.77m zone* of sulphide mineralisation containing 3.00% nickel, 1.96% copper and 5.29grams per tonne of total platinum group metals.

Speaking to the China Mining Congress today in Beijing, WMC Executive General Manager, Business Strategy and Development, Michael Nossal said, 'What we are seeing at Collurabbie are very rare results for Australian nickel sulphide exploration. While it's still early days, the drill results to date at Collurabbie suggest we are onto a significant new nickel province.'

Drilling began at Collurabbie, 170km north-east of WMC's Mt Keith nickel operation in mid 2002. The Collurabbie Project covers over 500 square kms of the northern extension of the Gerry Well Greenstone Belt. The Olympia prospect occurs at the southern end of the project on tenements held in joint venture between WMC (70%) and Falcon Minerals (30%).

Diamond drilling by WMC intersected disseminated sulphide mineralisation over 7kms of strike within the first of two parallel mineralised horizons. The Olympia Prospect occurs within the second mineralized horizon . It is the only area within the second horizon that has been drilled to bedrock to date.

'WMC has built its nickel business from the Kambalda and Mt Keith/Leinster regions of Western Australia', Mr Nossal said. 'The results achieved at Collurabbie bode well for a new wave of nickel sulphide discoveries in this region of WA'.

BHP Billiton Confirms Commercial Hydrocarbon Discovery With Shenzi-3 Appraisal Well In The Gulf Of Mexico

BHP Billiton today announced the results of its second appraisal well on the Shenzi discovery in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Shenzi-3 began drilling in May 2004 with the BHP Billiton operated drillship CR Luigs on Green Canyon Block 653. The discovery is located approximately 14 kilometres (9 miles) northwest of the company’s Atlantis field, which is currently in development.

Located in water depths of 1,327metres (4,355 feet) and drilled to a total depth approaching 8,512 metres (28,000 feet), Shenzi-3 successfully encountered hydrocarbons in lower Miocene-aged reservoirs with approximately 100 metres (330 feet) of net oil pay in a 125-metre (410 feet) gross hydrocarbon column. An updip sidetrack well subsequently drilled from the initial wellbore confirmed the presence of a hydrocarbon column. Drilling is currently underway on another sidetrack well to collect additional reservoir data and further corroborate the information found from the first two penetrations at Shenzi-3- Web Site

LAKES OIL

GIPPSLAND OFFSHORE PETROLEUM LTD (GOP)

Lakes Oil (“LKO”) advises that it intends to farm out a part of its interest held in Vic/P40(V) and PEP 155 together with a major percent of the option held in Vic/P47 (*The Gilbert Blocks) to a new oil and gas exploration company focussing on offshore Gippsland Basin. Lakes will maintain a 26% interest (free carry) in the proposed Gilbert 1 Well.

Gippsland Offshore Petroleum Ltd

Initially Gippsland Offshore Petroleum will focus its interest on these 3 areas which have all been flown by the revolutionary Falcon® Airborne Gravity System and have resulted in several interesting “leads” being developed, together with seismically defined prospects already identified.

Gravity Capital Ltd, who flew the airborne gravity on Lakes’ behalf, have earned an interest in all three permits. These interests now reside in Stellar Resources, which has resulted from Gravity Capital splitting its non diamond assets into a new company (Stellar).

Gippsland Offshore Petroleum Limited has today lodged a Prospectus with the ASX and ASIC for the issue of ordinary shares with accompanying options and in due course shareholders in both Lakes Oil and Stellar Resources will be offered a priority allocation to the issue. Any person wishing to acquire the ordinary shares and accompanying options will need to complete the application form that accompanies the prospectus.

Media Release - Trident Discovery Higginsville Project

This morning Avoca released to the ASX details of a major high grade discovery it has made at Higginsville. The new deposit is called TRIDENT and comprises two thick steeply dipping zones of mineralisation named the Eastern Zone and the Western Zone. Within each of the two zones the Company has identified high grade lode positions.

The discovery was intersected in 3 of the last four diamond holes drilled at Higginsville. The results are shown below:

12m @ 11.4 g/t gold from 324m within a broader intersection of 54m @ 3.5 g/t gold from 296m (HIGD006)
9m @ 11.1 g/t gold from 276m within a broader intersection of 45m @ 3.4 g/t gold from 257m (HIGD008)
5m @ 14.2 g/t gold from 296m within a broader intersection of 25m @ 4.0 g/t gold from 276m (HIGD009)

Trident lies only 200m north of existing underground development associated with the small underground mining completed at Poseidon South by Resolute in the late 1990s. It clearly provides a possible low cost option to develop the deposit as an underground operation.- Web Site

GRAVITY DIAMONDS

FIRST PHASE OF KASAI RECONNAISSANCE PROGRAMME COMPLETED

Gravity Diamonds Limited ("Gravity") is pleased to announce that the first stage of the Kasai Diamond exploration programme in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") has been successfully completed. The helicopter supported diamond heavy indicator mineral sampling programme, over an area of approximately 10,000 square kilometres, was completed covering tenements held by BHP Billiton. These tenements are subject to the Framework Agreement between Gravity and BHP Billiton in relation to which Gravity is currently earning a 100% interest.

The programme was designed and implemented by BHP Billiton geologists supervising Congolese geologists and contract staff. A total of 247 heavy mineral samples and 248 geochemical samples for multi-element analysis was collected from drainages in the area during a 20 day period in October.

Samples weighing a total of 8.3 tonnes have been shipped to South Africa for heavy mineral concentration and analysis. The results from the programme are expected in early 2005.

Gravity is encouraged by the incidence of artisenal workings in many of the drainages that were sampled and by the number of diamonds being recovered from the area. As a result, an aeromagnetic survey will be flown over the area seeking to pinpoint direct magnetic targets which could be potential sources for these diamonds. Tenders to complete this work are currently being sought from geophysical contractors now operating in the DRC. Depending on their availability and weather conditions, the survey is scheduled for completion in early 2005.

Field operations are now suspended due to the onset of the monsoonal wet season. Field work should resume in February 2005. Planning for this next phase of work, which will incorporate the results of the recently completed diamond heavy indicator mineral survey, is well underway.

MACMIN SILVER

MACMIN ACQUIRES INTEREST IN TWO SILVER PROJECTS
FROM MALACHITE RESOURCES NL

Macmin Silver Ltd (ASX: MMN) announces that it has agreed to acquire a 75% interest, through a joint venture arrangement, in the Rivertree and Boonoo Boonoo silver projects located in Northern New South Wales, Australia.

Macmin's strategic plan is to maximise its exposure to potential silver producing projects in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales, and to maintain its position as the premier silver explorer in this geographic region.

Macmin recently announced its decision to develop the Twin Hills silver deposit at its Texas Project in southern Queensland. Development is now underway.

Macmin's research indicates that the Rivertree and Boonoo Boonoo projects of Malachite Resources show excellent potential to define significant silver mineralisation which would complement the Texas operations. The Rivertree and Boonoo Boonoo projects are both historic silver producing areas to the east of Texas and in our view represent the best opportunity to expand in this general geographic area.

Drilling by the current project holder has encountered silver and gold mineralisation at both projects. At the Star of Hope lode at Boonoo Boonoo a best intercept of 1m at 6.25g/t gold and 285g/t silver was encountered. At Rivertree the best intercept of 1m at 291g/t silver and 0.17g/t gold occurred at the Silver King lode. Although these are narrow intercepts, we believe there is potential for both high grade vein style mineralisation and disseminated bulk mineable situations, such as exist at Texas.

Under the farm in arrangements, Macmin will acquire a 60% interest in the Rivertree and Boonoo Boonoo tenements by reimbursing Malachite's previous expenditure, totalling approximately $573,000, by issuing new shares in Macmin Silver Limited to Malachite equivalent in value to this amount. Macmin will earn a further 15% interest by funding continuing exploration on the projects to a total of $500,000 over the next three years. After that, Malachite may contribute pro rata or dilute to a 10% interest free carried to bankable feasibility. Formal documentation of the agreement is underway.

SMC GOLD

SMC INCREASES JORC COPPER RESOURCES BY 50%

The Board of SMC approved the exercise of the Dalmacia Option after reviewing the JORC compliant resources. The Company obtained independent assessment of the resources. SMC has confirmed in writing to the vendor, Pudahuel, that it has exercised its option to acquire the property. SMC paid US$ 300,000 on 2/11/2004 to complete the exercise of the option. SMC is now required to make 2 further payments of US$250,000 on 2/5/2005 and 2/11/2005 (total purchase price of US$ 1million).

The company has commenced the process of regulatory approval for mine development. Environmental and mining licenses required to initiate underground development are expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2005. The Dalmacia property was acquired to provide a long term supply of copper ore for the Punitaqui plant and will be exploited to provide ore for our planned plant upgrade to 1,500 tpd.

The available data confirms the following JORC resource of 2.5 million tonnes of 1.3% copper sulphide ore. Given the current focus on flotation from the Punitaqui plant Directors sought JORC compliance on the sulphide zone. The company has commenced developing a drilling programme to complete code compliance for the oxide zone and to support mine planning.

SMC expects to commence delivering Dalmacia ore to the Punitaqui plant by late 2005.

MINOTAUR RESOURCES

PROMINENT HILL MERGER WITH OXIANA AND
SPIN-OFF OF MINOTAUR EXPLORATION VEHICLE

HIGHLIGHTS

Minotaur Resources Limited ("Minotaur") and Oxiana Limited ("Oxiana") today announced a Scheme of Arrangement, ("Scheme") involving a proposed merger and the spin-off of Minotaur's non-Prominent Hill assets (into a vehicle to be named Minotaur Exploration Limited ("Minotaur Exploration")), subject inter alia to shareholder and optionholder approval.
For each Minotaur ordinary share, shareholders will receive:

- 1.85 Oxiana shares; and
- 1 Minotaur Exploration share.

The Scheme delivers total value to shareholders of $2.29 per ordinary Minotaur share¹ and attributes a value of some $98 million² to Minotaur's Prominent Hill interest.
The Scheme represents a premium to Minotaur's volume weighted average price to closing on Friday, 5 November 2004, of:

- 10 days : 42%

- 30 days : 49%

- 90 days : 63%

The Scheme provides immediate value recognition for Prominent Hill. Further, through Oxiana, shareholders can retain ongoing exposure to the Prominent Hill project plus Oxiana's Sepon gold and Khanong copper operations and other projects / exploration.
Through Minotaur Exploration, shareholders will retain exposure to the proven Minotaur exploration team, headed by Derek Carter, together with a substantial exploration portfolio, joint ventures and strategic investments in Mithril Resources Ltd and Petratherm Ltd.
Oxiana has agreed to a placement of 5 million Minotaur Exploration shares at a price of 40¢ per share. This $2 million, together with its current cash and net receivables balance of approximately $10 million provides significant cash resources for the proposed exploration program.
Oxiana and Minotaur have also agreed to negotiate, in good faith, a strategic alliance between Oxiana and Minotaur Exploration post the spin-off.
The Board of Minotaur unanimously recommends, subject to their fiduciary duties and in the absence of a superior offer, approval of the Scheme.

AMITY OIL

Ellis-1 Well Oklahoma
Main Points
Ellis-1 is still waiting for a fracture stimulation crew to become available. There is great demand for these frac crews as activity is very high, and whilst our position in the queue has not changed, the operators that are currently using the equipment continue to use it. We are looking for alternative crews that may be able to fit us into their programme. This delay is disappointing, but a consequence of the high level of operational activity in Oklahoma.
Based on analysis of rotary cores taken from the well, a C02 foam frac will be used in preference to a diesel based frac, as the performance is expected to be as good or better than diesel and will be much cheaper.
The Chester limestone Formation was lightly acidised and flowed gas at about 100,000 cubic feet per day with some water. Whilst this was an encouraging flow, the main target in this well is the Morrow sands and this zone will be isolated for the time being without being fractured.

Ellis-2 Well - Oklahoma
Main Points
Ellis-2 is currently drilling ahead in 83/4" hole at a depth of 7,440 feet (2,268 metres) towards a final depth of 11,500 feet. The first gas zone expected of interest is the Atoka Formation. at a depth of approximately 10,100 feet. A bottom hole drill stem test is planned if the gas shows are encouraging. - Web Site

Drilling Results for Capitaine-1A Mauritania

Progress and Current Status:
Since the last report (2 November 2004) Capitaine-1A has been drilled to a total depth of 3,130 metres. Initial evaluation of the drilling data indicates that Capitaine-1A has not encountered hydrocarbons. Some good quality Early Miocene age sands have been intersected but are interpreted as water bearing. The well is currently being wireline logged and evaluation of these data will be needed before any definitive announcement on fluid type.
Upon completing operations at the Capitaine-1A well, the Stena Tay rig will move to the Tiof-4 appraisal well location.- Web Site

Letter to Shareholders

WMC Resources Ltd has lodged a copy of a letter, sent to WMC Resources Ltd shareholders today, with Australian Stock Exchange in accordance with the requirements of ASX listing rule 3.17. The letter covers the proposal received by Xstrata plc and key themes from last week's investor tour of WMC's copper/uranium and nickel operations.

You may have read that your Board recently received correspondence from Xstrata plc (Xstrata) outlining a proposal to acquire WMC Resources Ltd (WMC) for AUD6.35 per share in cash by way of a Scheme of Arrangement.
The proposal was initially expressed to be indicative and non-binding and continues to remain highly conditional, including being subject to Xstrata’s ability to secure appropriate funding.
Your Board carefully considered the proposal and determined that it materially did not recognise the current and prospective value of WMC’s assets, nor its strategic value. Accordingly the Board declined the proposal. - Web Site

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

First Quarter Activities Report

HIGHLIGHTS

BMJV gold production for the September 2004 quarter was 34,045 ounces (June 2004 quarter 30,848 ounces). 55,549 tonnes of ore (56,226 tonnes previous quarter) were milled at an average head grade of 19.4 g/t gold (18.4 g/t previous quarter) and an average gold recovery of 98.0% (92.6% previous quarter), excluding changes in gold in circuit.
BMJV direct operating expenditure per ounce for the quarter was A$325 per ounce (A$314 previous quarter) versus gold revenue for Beaconsfield Gold of A$513 per ounce (A$570 per ounce previous quarter).
Beaconsfield Gold cash flow from its 48.49% direct interest in the BMJV for the quarter was approximately $2.1 million ($2.8 million previous quarter).
BMJV underground drilling program continuing with drilling commencing from two cuddies established to target new ore reserves below the 840 metre level east zone and also the F21 eastern zone above 1200 metres depth.
Beaconsfield Gold recommenced drilling on its 100% owned exploration tenements at the end of the quarter. The first hole at North Pease Creek encountered Ordovician Mine Sequence stratigraphy under Tertiary cover 3 km north-west of the Beaconsfield Mine. A fine fractured stockwork at the base of the hole carried anomalous gold and arsenic.
Beaconsfield Gold audited profit for the 2004 year (no tax payable) was $11.7 million after providing for depreciation and amortisation of $6.3 million.
During the quarter, Beaconsfield Gold fully repaid its remaining 48.49% share of the total owing to the providers of goods and services to the Beaconsfield Mine who had their invoices frozen when Allstate, the Manager of the BMJV, went into administration on 8 June 2001.
At the end of the quarter, BankWest secured debt was $4.2 million against which Beaconsfield Gold held $6.8 million in cash, of which $5.7 million was held in BankWest accounts with restricted access. - Web Site

First Quarter Activities & Cashflow Report

PEP 157 - Onshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 100 percent interest)

Widespread field operations and geological/geophysical studies occurred during the quarter in this highly prospective block. The field activities included:
- Wombat 1
  
  Fracture stimulation of 2 zones which flowed gas without water from cased hole drillstem tests was undertaken. These combined zones were also stimulated by the Stim Gun procedure previously with a measure of success in obtaining an increased but still not commercial gas flow along with the recovery of light oil. Following the fracture stimulation the gas flow rate decreased as did the associated light oil recoveries. A markedly increased water flow indicates that an underlying water sand has been connected to the hydrocarbon bearing sands. The water is flowing preferentially.
- Wombat 2 Appraisal Well (Fracturing)
  
  The zone which flowed just less than 500,000 cubic feet per day from an open hole drill stem test was fracture stimulated by hydraulic means. The initial results were quite encouraging - initially flowing at a rate of 1,800,000 cubic feet per day; however, following a shut-in the rate had reduced to 620,000 cubic feet per day. The well will be reopened and flowed for an extended period to fully investigate the result of this fracturing program.
- The Wombat 3 appraisal well, located midway between Wombat 1 and Wombat 2 was spudded in late September. A major purpose of this well is to test a very strong gas show in an upper Strzelecki sand which could not be successfully tested in Wombat 2. Another reason was to investigate sands beneath the total depth of Wombat 2.
  
  A gas zone between 2,096 metres and 2,112 metres produced an oil and gas show whilst drilling and a gas zone near the top of the Strzelecki Formation flowed gas at an estimated 3 million to 4 million cubic feet per day dropping to 65,000 cubic feet per day.
  
  At the date of this report, the Hunt Energy drilling rig # 2 has been rigged down and released leaving the well ready for testing. The well is cased from surface to T.D. 2,178 metres
- Trifon 2 (Deepening and fracturing)
  
  The Trifon 2 well, which is located some 50 metres from the Trifon 1 well was drilled to a depth of 2,500 metres. The well was cased and suspended and then fracture stimulated. The lowest three zones of eleven selected by U.S. Consultants were hydraulically fractured. The lowest zone flowed some gas but the upper zones flowed formation water - indicating that the fractures penetrated water bearing sands.
  
  The Trifon wells are located on the large North Seaspray Anticline which along with the adjacent Seaspray Anticline comprise the Greater Trifon Tight Gas Project.
  
  The Trifon Tight Gas Project is funded by Jarden Corporation Australia Pty Ltd to the extent that the first $5 million of expenditure contributed by them will earn a 50% interest in a defined area which covers both the Trifon and Gangell structures and includes the North Seaspray 3 well. The Gangell Structure is located on the Seaspray Anticlines.

Sydney Gas Granted Third Production Lease

Sydney Gas Ltd advises that the NSW Minister for Mineral Resources, the Hon Kerry Hickey MP, has granted NSW’s fourth Petroleum Production Lease (“PPL”) under the Petroleum (Onshore) Act to Sydney Gas. Sydney Gas now holds three production leases: PPLs 1, 2 and 4.

PPL 4 covers an area of 55 km2 and has a 21 year term. The granting of PPL 4 confirms that Sydney Gas has met all necessary Government conditions relating to those production wells covered by the Development Consent granted on 16 June 2004 in respect to Stage II of the Camden Gas Project, located 50 km south-west of Sydney.

Sydney Gas’ Chief Executive Officer, Dr Bruce Butcher, said that, “This is the next important step being taken by Sydney Gas towards becoming a major gas producer. With Development Consent and PPL 4 now in hand, and with construction of the Rosalind Park Gas Plant (“RPGP”) at Campbelltown nearing completion, Sydney Gas will soon commence commissioning the first major gas plant in NSW.”

Dr Butcher said that, “Whilst our immediate focus is upon commissioning the RPGP, we are keen to expand Sydney Gas’ drilling activities and accelerate development of each of our three projects: the Camden, Hunter and Wyong Gas Projects.”

“With the granting of PPL 4, the RPGP is one step closer to start-up and Sydney Gas is now within reach of becoming a major gas producer in NSW”, said Dr Butcher. - Web Site

Ellis-1 Well - Oklahoma
Main Points
The fracture stimulation crew is due to arrive on location in the next few days. In the meantime, the lower-most potential gas bearing zone in the Chester Limestone is being perforated and treated with acid in an attempt to stimulate a gas flow. Gas pay has been interpreted from log analysis, however the formation is fairly low permeability. This is not a main or secondary objective in this well, but has been producting in the general region and can respond favourably to an acid treatment.

Spudding of Ellis-2 Well - Oklahoma
Main Points
Ellis-2 is drilling ahead at a depth of 3,355 feet (1,026 metres) after setting and cementing 95/8" casing at a depth of 3,118 feet.
The objective of Ellis-2 is to evaluate the lower Morrow B, Morrow C, D, E and Itoka sands that are interpreted to be gas bearing in Ellis-1. This well will be drilled to a similar total depth of approximately 11,500 feet.

Whicher Range Fracture Stimulation – Update
Main Points
The Whicher Range-5 well continues to flow back the diesel based frac fluids and gas at a fairly slow rate. No significant change over the past two weeks. - Web Site

CARNARVON PETROLEUM

First Quarter Activities & Cashflow Report

During the September 2004 quarter the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Strategic Exploration (Asia) Limited (“SEAL”), commenced legal proceedings in Alberta, Canada seeking orders directing Pacific Tiger (Energy) Thailand Limited and Pacific Tiger Energy Inc. (collectively “Pacific Tiger”) to comply with the provisions of the Joint Operating Agreement and Farmin Agreement. These two agreements govern relations between the partners in the Wichian Buri SW1A Concession joint venture in Thailand.

Carnarvon’s concern about the extent of funding of the joint venture by Pacific Tiger caused it to commence these proceedings. Amongst other matters, Carnarvon alleges that:

Pacific Tiger has not fully funded its share of joint venture expenditures;
Pacific Tiger has not remitted to Carnarvon its share of joint venture revenues; and
Pacific Tiger has not provided recent financial and operational information concerning the joint venture, including the final report from Navigator Resource Management Inc. on its review of the Wichian Buri oilfield.

The court has set a date of 24 November 2004 for a hearing of Carnarvon’s legal action. SEAL has also taken separate legal action against Pacific Tiger Energy, Inc. pursuant to a guarantee in the Farmin Agreement for payment of cash receipts owed to SEAL.

The Company has prepared this quarterly report on activities, and accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows, based on available actual financial and operational information and reasonable estimates. SW1A Concession joint venture financial and operational information for the complete quarter ended 30 September 2004 has not been provided by Pacific Tiger.

The Company believes that the reported quarterly financial results, incorporating estimates, is not materially different from actual results.

CASH RESOURCES
Carnarvon has ended the quarter with a strong working capital position. The liquid assets available to the Company, adjusted as at 30 September 2004, is $944,000,- Web Site
