Giants Reef Claims 70% Interest in Juno, Nobles Nob and Peko Tenements

In its September 2004 Quarterly Report, released on 29 October 2004, the Company advised its
interest in mining tenements at Juno, Noble’s Nob and Peko, at Tennant Creek, which
collectively have produced approximately 2.33 million ounces of gold and 147,000 tonnes of
copper.
The background to this interest is that by a sale agreement in May 2000 (“Sale Agreement”)
Normandy Tennant Creek Pty Ltd (“NTC”), then a subsidiary of Normandy Mining, sold the
Juno, Noble’s Nob and Peko mine tenements (the “Central Tenements”) to Sitzler Savage Pty
Ltd, an unlisted company. As part of the sale, NTC reserved equity clawback rights and a
royalty entitlement in respect of the Central Tenements.
In June 2001, Giants Reef acquired all the assets of NTC, including the equity clawback rights
and royalty entitlements mentioned above.
The clawback terms of the Sale Agreement provide that if Sitzler Savage delineates a
measured, indicated or inferred resource greater than 250,000 ounces of gold in the Central
Tenements, Giants Reef will on giving a “clawback notice”, have a 70% interest in the
tenements.
Subsequently Strata Mining Corporation Limited (“Strata”) has publicly announced that it has
entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the mining tenements relating to Juno
and Noble’s Nob, which are reported to have JORC compliant resources of 532,195 ounces of
gold, with a stated aim to rapidly bring these areas into production. Strata has quoted an
indicated resource of 0.7 million tonnes at 13.5 g/t Au for 306,000 ounces at Juno.
It is clear to Giants Reef from statements regarding JORC compliant resources included in the
Strata announcements, that Giants Reef’s clawback rights under the Sale Agreement have been
activated.
Giants Reef has therefore given a clawback notice to Sitzler Savage and claims a 70% interest
in the Juno, Noble’s Nob and Peko tenements.
Giants Reef will take all necessary legal steps to protect its interest in the Central Tenements.
For shareholders of Giants Reef, these tenements represent an important asset of the
Company, and given their proximity to its existing and established operations, may provide
Giants Reef with a significant extension to mine life, further enhancing shareholder value. - Web Site


GRAVITY DIAMONDS

ANALYSIS OF BULK SAMPLES FROM
FALCON® AREA LAMPROITES TO COMMENCE

As previously reported on 22 November 2004, three lamproite pipes identified in the Blina Diamonds Limited ("Blina") Falcon® Joint Venture area have been bulk sampled (Diamond Mines Australia Pty Ltd-Blina JV 50/50, Blina managing). The samples from these pipes have now been trucked to Blina's Ellendale 16 site and processing of these samples will commence in the next few days.

Blina completed the bulk sampling of the three lamproites pipes (EBF009, EBF010 and Ellendale 40) identified following the Falcon® airborne gravity gradiometer survey flown in 2003 on the on the joint venture area tenements. EBF009 and EBF010 were each sampled by a single trench excavated across the shorter axis of the pipes.

The trench on EBF009 was approximately 45 metres in length and cut coarse, fragmental lamproite over its entire length. The hardness of strong surface calcretisation restricted excavation of the sample and the trench rarely exceeded 3 metres deep. The recovered sample is estimated at close to 200 tonnes in size. Textures observed are similar to those from the Kimberley 33 pipe recently announced by Kimberley Diamond Company NL as having some of the highest grades encountered so far in the Ellendale field and also from the Kimberley 28 pipe which has returned high value stones and is part of the current mining plan.

The trench at EBF010 was just over 20 metres in length. The lamproite was relatively soft and friable and the trench was excavated to a depth of over 5 metres yielding about 180 tonnes of sample.

A 6 x 8 x 5 metre pit was excavated in a tuffaceous area not previously tested near the western edge of the Ellendale 40 pipe. Approximately 200 tonnes of material from the Ellendale 40 lamproite will be tested as part of this programme.

The results of this sampling programme will be released when they become available early in the new year. - Web Site

BOUNTY OIL & GAS

To Buy Interest in Utopia Oilfield

Bounty Oil & Gas NL (“Bounty”) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to purchase a 40% interest in the Utopia Oilfield, located in south-western Queensland, approximately 150 km north east of the Jackson Oilfield and 50 km south of the Kenmore Oilfield.

Bounty is purchasing all of Nuenco NL’s interest in four graticular blocks in ATP 560P, which includes the Utopia Oilfield. The field produces from the Early Cretaceous Murta Formation and is the largest known Murta pool in the Queensland Eromanga Basin. The most recent technical review of Utopia (June 2004) has determined the field may contain up to 2.86 million barrels of recoverable oil (P50 estimate). Utopia is presently producing approximately 45 BOPD from 3 wells and has produced approximately 50,000 BO to date.

In consideration for the interest, Bounty will issue to Nuenco 7,000,000 fully paid shares in Bounty and pay a total A$750,000 cash in staged payments. The entire transaction is valued at A$1,500,000 and is subject to preemptive rights held by Utopia Joint Venture partner Oilwells Inc. of Kentucky, which they have 30 days to exercise.- Web Site

Ellis-1 – Update
Ellis-1 is currently flowing gas from the Morrow “C” sand (secondary target) at a rate between 0.7– 1 million cubic feet per day with some associated water. A production log is going to be run to determine the source of the water. The well is flowing through coiled tubing while the cleanup continues. Testing equipment will move to Ellis-1 from Ellis-2 as soon as the testing operations are complete on Ellis-2. After a period of flow testing, a decision will be made on the timing of further perforating and fracturing of the Morrow "B" sands. At this stage it is considered to be a commercial success and will be put into production as soon as possible after well operations are concluded.- Web Site

Xstrata’s replacement Bidder’s Statement – ‘who is Xstrata kidding?’

Uncertainties, corrections, conditions and a bid pitched 74 cents below today’s closing market price define Xstrata’s replacement Bidder’s Statement, lodged with the Australian Stock Exchange today.

“Who is Xstrata kidding?” asked WMC CEO, Andrew Michelmore. “WMC shareholders deserve more than a highly conditional and uncertain bid pitched below both market expectations and current share prices.
“Xstrata’s corrected Bidder’s Statement does, however, remove reference to a number of baseless claims,” Mr Michelmore said.

The statements corrected by Xstrata include: 

“Shareholders who accept Xstrata’s conditional offer will not get certain cash. They will have to wait for Xstrata’s own shareholders to approve the offer and also for 90 percent acceptance by WMC shareholders. For those who do accept, Xstrata has said it will reduce the cash paid by the amount of WMC’s proposed dividend and capital return,” Mr Michelmore said....... - Web Site

Nine Significant Targets Defined on the Litchfield Project, Northern Territory

Following the completion of soil geochemical and airborne EM surveys Discovery Nickel (ASX: DNL) is pleased to announce the definition of nine significant nickel sulphide target areas on the Company’s Litchfield Project in the Northern Territory

The target areas are associated with Wangi Basic intrusions which have the potential to host nickel sulphide mineralisation. The identified targets demonstrate similar characteristics to nickel mineralised intrusions within the Halls Creek Belt, host to the Sally Malay nickel mine.
Discovery Nickel’s Managing Director Jeremy Read said that the discovery of quality targets on their Litchfield Project was a major step forward for the Company’s nickel exploration program in this under-explored, but highly prospective area.
“These findings reinforce our belief that the use of modern exploration techniques is proving successful in uncovering a number of quality nickel targets on our Litchfield Project in the Northern Territory,” said Mr Read.
“The EM conductors and geochemical anomalies located provide a focus for further exploration and drilling in the first half of 2005 which will commence following the conclusion of the northern wet season.” - Web Site


DRAGON MINING

SVARTLIDEN PROGRESSES TOWARDS COMPLETION

Dragon Mining NL is progressing steadily towards gold production at the Svartliden Mine in northern Sweden in February. Construction and commissioning management is being provided by the Australian engineering company Intermet Engineering Pty Ltd. Local specialist engineering and quality control companies are providing a range of engineering, fabrication, installation and certification services. All major items of equipment are now installed. The plant site switchyard has been powered up on the local grid supply. Pre-commissioning of equipment modules has commenced and will occur over the next 3 weeks. First ore feed to the plant will occur as previously reported in late January and gold production commence in February.

There has been a positive reconciliation of grade control drilling to date with reserve drilling. In situ grade controlled values are 0.5 to 1.55 g/tonne higher than the 7.46 g/tAu determined from the reserve drilling estimates for the same area and ounces contained the same or up to 12% higher. Mining is progressing and ore is being stockpiled on the ROM pad in preparation for first ore feed to the plant.

Capital costs for the project to reach first gold production were estimated at the start of construction 12 months ago at US$12.25million. This has escalated to US$14.04 million plus the cost to complete the scope of works in the lump sum plant contract of US$3.41M after the contract being abandoned by the plant construction contractor in November. Dragon has also expended in addition to the original cost estimates US$2.3million in advance operating costs, principally on mining and earlier construction of a clear water dam. Under the terms of the contract the costs to complete the plant are at the expense of the contractor. Dragon will pursue appropriate legal avenues to secure the moneys due and owing from the prime contractor and other sums in damages associated with the delays and actions of the prime contractor. - Web Site

Successful bid expands Antelope coal reserves

io Tinto's wholly owned US subsidiary, Kennecott Energy Company (KEC), has expanded its Antelope mine coal reserves in Wyoming's Powder River Basin following a successful bid of 75.1 cents per ton or US$146.3 million for the West Antelope tract.

The West Antelope tract contains 195 million tons of premium in-situ coal reserves. The acquisition will increase Antelope's current recoverable reserves to about 400 million tons and will provide the mine with a new opportunity to optimise current facilities and mining strategies.

The coal produced at Antelope mine is attractive to customers because of its energy content (8800 Btu coal) and for its low sulphur content. Antelope currently produces 30 million tons per annum.

Bret Clayton, KEC's president and chief executive said, "The outlook for North American coal is positive. With strong energy demand growth, high gas prices and minimal new nuclear and hydro capacity, North America n coal continues to be an important part of the US's mixed energy portfolio. The acquisition of the West Antelope tract strengthens KEC's asset portfolio and provides it with a platform for future value growth." - Web Site

SYDNEY GAS

SYDNEY GAS’ ROSALIND PARK GAS PLANT UP AND RUNNING

Sydney Gas Ltd advises that its Rosalind Park Gas Plant (“RPGP”) at Campbelltown, less than one hour’s drive south-west of Sydney, is now complete.
The RPGP has been successfully commissioned and first sales gas was delivered to AGL Wholesale Gas Ltd (“AGL”) from Stage II of the Camden Gas Project on 16 December 2004, within budget and more than two weeks ahead of schedule.

The integrated field and automated plant control system, being operated from the state-of-the-art control facility at the RPGP, is now fully functional. Gas is flowing through the gas gathering system into the RPGP where it is being dried and pressurized before being sold to AGL via the 500m high pressure underground steel sales line that connects the RPGP to the main gas transmission line.

Sydney Gas’ Chief Executive Officer, Dr Bruce Butcher, said that, “This is a very exciting time for Sydney Gas. Commissioning the Rosalind Park Gas Plant, the first major gas plant to be built in New South Wales, is a great thrill and a tremendous achievement. I am very proud of the considerable team effort that has gone in making our dream a reality.” ........- Web Site

PEP 157, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA

WOMBAT 3

Perforation of the casing at 2,104 - 2,107 metres took place late yesterday afternoon.

This morning, on the first swabbing run a light green high API gravity oil was recovered. The API has not yet been measured and swabbing is continuing.

This is the first oil recovered onshore Gippsland. The full significance of this recovery will not be known for several days.

NORTH SEASPRAY 3 - RE-ENTRY

Lakes Oil ("LKO") advises that at 8.00 AM today the well had reached total depth of 1,439 metres. After drilling horizontally for approximately 90 metres the drill became stuck and considerable time was spent freeing the assembly from the formation.

It was then decided to drill into the next sand a highly deviated well was drilled approximately 100 metres without recovering gas to surface and a decision has been made to suspend the well pending further analysis of the total results.

SYDNEY GAS DRILLING UPDATE - STAGE I HUNTER GAS PROJECT
Sydney Gas Ltd provides the following update upon its initial five pilot well
drilling program within Stage I of the Hunter Gas Project.
As planned, Hunter-Bulga (“HB”) 1 production well, located in the vicinity of the
Bulga mine site, approximately 25km south of Singleton, was successfully drilled
to a total depth of 537m on 13 December 2004.
Within the Upper Permian Wittingham Coal Measures, the Blakefield coal seam
was intersected at a depth of 313m-317m, the Glen Munro coal seam was
intersected at a depth of 332m-333m, the Woodlands Hill Upper and Lower coal
seams were intersected at depths of 358m-359m and 365m-367m, the Mt Arthur
coal seam was intersected at a depth of 378m-380m, the Piercefield A/B coal seam
was intersected at a depth of 434m-439m and the Piercefield E coal seam was
intersected at a depth of 473m-483m.
The HB production wells are being drilled in order to delineate Sydney Gas’ high
production fairway within the Hunter 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 production test these wells for
a minimum period of six months to determine the reservoir’s production
potential. - Web Site

ROC: Mauritania Offshore Drilling Update

Tiof-5 Appraisal Well – PSC B
Progress and Current Status:
Since the last report (7 December) the Stena Tay drilled the Tiof-5 appraisal well to the final total
depth of 3,010 metres and commenced wireline logging. Preliminary interpretation of logs acquired
while drilling and by wireline logging, including fluid sampling and downhole pressure measurements,
indicates the well has intersected a gross oil column of at least 23 metres in several individual sands of
variable thickness. Potential for a greater hydrocarbon column exists in this well and may be
confirmed by the wireline logging programme. The well has encountered some excellent quality
sands.
At midnight on 13 December wireline logging and the evaluation of well data was continuing. Upon
completion of wireline logging the Stena Tay will move to the Chinguetti Field and join the
West Navigator on the development drilling programme.

Chinguetti Development Drilling
The West Navigator drill ship continued operations on the Chinguetti development wells and will be
joined by the Stena Tay upon completion of the Tiof-5 well. The West Navigator is drilling and casing
the top holes, and the Stena Tay will drill and case the bottom holes through the reservoir interval.
Upon completion of the top holes the West Navigator is expected to drill the next Tiof appraisal well.
Hardman Resources does not intend to provide detailed weekly reports during the course of the
development well drilling programme but will report significant matters as appropriate.- Web Site

WMC 'uniquely placed' for growing uranium demand

With 38% of the world's known economic uranium resources, WMC Resources Ltd (WMC) is uniquely placed among global uranium producers to benefit from forecast increases in uranium demand and prices.

WMC's Olympic Dam mine in South Australia is not only the world's largest uranium mineral resource, but also the world's lowest-cost producer, WMC CEO Andrew Michelmore told a Citigroup Global Markets conference in Sydney today. 'Olympic Dam is the only uranium producer to meet all four requirements that buyers want - diversification, reliability, political stability and long life.'

Current global uranium production meets only 58 per cent of demand, with the shortfall made up largely from rapidly shrinking stockpiles. The shortfall is expected to run at 51 million pounds a year on average from next year to 2020. Uranium prices have doubled in the last year to over US$20/lb and are forecast to settle at US$25-30/lb in real terms in the longer term.
'A uranium supply squeeze is looming and the market is set to remain tight as nuclear power programs expand,' Mr Michelmore said. 'Japan is planning 16 new plants, with India and China building another seventeen. This will come on top of the global supply shortfall facing the current 438 reactors.'

WMC is currently spending $50 million studying expansion plans for Olympic Dam's output to up to 15,000 tonnes of uranium oxide and 500,000 tonnes of copper annually. This could make the mine the world's largest producing and lowest cost uranium mine by 2010. As a by-product of copper production, WMC's marginal cost of producing uranium at Olympic Dam is less than $US3/lb.

'Increased production, plus higher prices will ensure that uranium becomes a much more important part of WMC and Olympic Dam's future value.' Mr Michelmore said. 'The contribution of uranium and gold underpin the viability of the planned expansion at Olympic Dam.'

WMC expects to produce 4,300 tonnes of uranium oxide for export from Olympic Dam in 2004. WMC's uranium is exported to electricity generators in Asia, Europe and North America under bilateral agreements between Australian and host governments.

Exciting New Drill Target Identified at Copperfield

Malachite Resources NL (ASX: MAR) advises that recent field work on its wholly owned
Copperfield exploration project (EPM 14134), located about 150km west of Townsville in north
Queensland, has identified an exciting new drill target, confirming it as a very attractive base
metals/precious metals prospect.

Managing Director, Garry Lowder commented:
“Copperfield is an outcome of our alliance with BHP Billiton and the more work we do
on the prospect the better it looks. The undrilled southern end of the Copperfield lode
is particularly exciting, as here the main lode is widest, the assays are highest, there
are mineralised sub-parallel structures across strike for about 300m and, most
importantly, there is a stunning IP anomaly at just 60m depth.”

Geological mapping has shown the Copperfield lode to be a highly mineralised, NW-trending
fault zone, 1.8km long, cutting thinly bedded sedimentary rocks of the Kangaroo Hills
Formation at either end and a Permo-Carboniferous granite, which is the likely source of the
metals, in the central portion. Approximately 20 shallow shafts, pits and other old workings
are scattered along the length of the lode. Both granitic and sedimentary rocks contain
significant Cu-Au-Ag mineralisation and gold-bearing stockwork quartz veins are also present
locally. The mineralisation at Copperfield lies within a broad (1.8 x 1.5 km) copper-in-soil
anomaly, defined by previous company soil sampling programs. This large elevated Cu
signature is broadly coincident with circular-shaped aeromagnetic and radiometric anomalies....- Web Site

PRODUCTION UPDATE

Production at the Murrin Murrin plant is now expected to be in the vicinity of 7,500 tonnes of nickel for the December quarter. Various maintenance issues have affected recent plant performance the most significant of which has been problems with one of the two acid plant blowers which has affected the plant steam balance. Acid supplies have not constrained performance due to the availability of imported acid. Both acid blowers are now operational.
The ore milling area has been constrained by process water heater issues which have consequently restricted ore availability to the autoclaves. These problems have now been rectified.
Nickel despatches have been affected by cooling problems in the packaging area with a consequent inventory increase. The installation of a new cooler has rectified the problem and seen production conditions return to design.
Cash on hand is expected to be in excess of $100 million at end December, after paying out the $93 million capital return in November. Excess inventory that has built up in the process will be packaged over the next quarter.
Planned maintenance remains the key issue to improving overall plant performance at Murrin Murrin. Year to date availability of the autoclaves has so far exceeded budget expectations and the H2S plant continues to perform satisfactorily with its previously announced rectification maintenance to be undertaken as part of the planned shutdown.
Planning continues for the plant-wide shutdown scheduled to commence in the second half of April 2005 for three weeks to undertake statutory testing and inspection according to regulations. - Web Site

SYDNEY GAS’ ROSALIND PARK GAS PLANT GAS TESTING UNDERWAY

Sydney Gas Ltd provides the following update upon the construction, completion
and commissioning of its Rosalind Park Gas Plant (“RPGP”) at Campbelltown,
less than one hour’s drive south-west of Sydney. First gas sales to AGL Wholesale
Gas Ltd (“AGL”) from Stage II of the Camden Gas Project are on track to be
delivered by 31 December 2004.

As previously announced, the RPGP reached Mechanical Completion on 22
November 2004. Since then, the RPGP has been undergoing commissioning with
Sydney Gas’ 3,130 HP Waukesha 12 VAT-AT27GL engine/Ariel compressor unit
having been started and successfully run-tested at maximum revs.

The gas gathering system and the underground steel sales line have been
satisfactorily commissioned. They have been purged, pressure tested, hydrotested
and are now ready for first deliveries of sales gas to AGL.

As the RPGP’s commissioning phase draws to a close, final functionality testing of
the control, communications and electrical systems is underway. Test gas from
Sydney Gas’ Stage II production wells has been introduced into the RPGP as part
of final commissioning. Full load testing of the entire system, including the post
compression equipment and AGL metering unit, is expected to be completed
shortly. This is the final step prior to the commencement of gas sales to AGL that
are planned by 31 December 2004. - Web Site

Commercial Gas Flow at Ellis-2
The Morrow “C” sand in the Ellis-2 well was perforated over the weekend and immediately began
flowing gas to surface without the need for fracture stimulation.

Gas flow rates were estimated to be between 3 and 4 million cubic feet of gas per day on a 1/4”
choke with final surface flowing pressure of 2700 psi. No water production was noted.

To determine the optimum gas deliverability, testing equipment is being mobilised to conduct a multiflow rate test and a pressure build-up survey.

Due to the higher than expected flow rate, the “C” zone is commercial in its own right and will be put
into production as soon as a connection to a gas sales line can be completed. The Morrow “B” will
be evaluated after production is established.

This is an outstanding commercial result from the Morrow “C” which is one of two secondary targets
in this well. The potential of the third gas zone, which is the shallowest of the three, will be
determined at a later date – most likely with a new well. - Web Site

Signs JV with BHP for new nickel-sulphide exploration project

Key points:
-MLM can evaluate and develope its known laterite deposits (incl mining leases) 100% and excludes Straits JV for gold-scandium, and may exclude Rudd Creek area also depending on drill results on gold-platinoid target (being drilled now).
-MLM potentially free carried till BHPB earn up to 75% on any single tenement (BFS or $10 million completed)
 -Predominantly a nickel sulphide jv-BHP have large EPM's tenure around us so obviously consider area prospective (also target Au-Cu skarn/breccia deposits).
-Earn-in amounts are for ONE (each) tenement, not the MLM tenement package
-We have opportunity (once-only) to maintain a 20% interest with BHPB's ground.
-Non-binding but formal agreement being currently drafted-hope to sign within weeks
-The basement rocks almost entirely under cover and outcropping ultramafic rocks have only been explored for Ni laterites to date.
- BHPB have extensive resources and expertise for this type of project, particularly with the latest technology eg FalconTM
- This will speed up and increase the effectiveness of NORNICO's regional evaluation
- This HOA reinforces MLM's belief in the NORNICO regions high prospectivity.
 
Drilling is currently being completed on the nickel projects as well as the Rudd Creek Au-Pt-Pd target (completion weather permitting), expect first results received this week.
Expect several more announcements before Christmas.
2004 is ending well for Metallica and forming an excellent platform to launch in to 2005 with its multi-commodity portfolio of advanced projects (Nickel-Coal-Bauxite-Scandium-Au/PGE), which we expect to be an active and exciting year. - Web Site

Mt Garnet Zinc Project - New High Grade Zinc and Copper Lens Outlined at Balcooma

Kagara Zinc Ltd (ASX:KZL) is pleased to report on results of the recently completed drilling program at its Balcooma polymetallic deposits which are located 1.5 kilometres north east of the producing high grade Surveyor open cut mine.
The Balcooma deposits comprise the Balcooma and Balcooma North supergene copper deposits, the Balcooma Upper Lens polymetallic zinc lead copper deposit and the Balcooma primary copper deposit. In addition, previous drilling has indicated the potential for repeats of the polymetallic mineralisation at depth and the recently completed drilling program was designed to test the validity of this stacked lens concept.
In all, 30 holes were drilled in the recent program, for a total of 4,631.2 metres - 2,138.9 metres being diamond drilling and 2,492.3 metres of reverse circulation drilling (see attached table) with the No 1 Lens being the focus of the majority of the work. The program was aimed at determining the potential of the No 1 lens to supply ore feed for the Mt Garnet operations.
Results have been received from 6 holes with further results expected over the next 10 days. - Web Site

Keysbrook Mineral Sands Resource Upgrade Confirmation of Project Value

Olympia Resources Limited (OLY) is pleased to announce that completion of a recent drilling program and resource estimation at its cornerstone Keysbrook Project has identified a total of 1.66 million tonnes (Mt) of heavy minerals with an average grade of 2.6% heavy mineral.

These results significantly increase the tonnes of contained heavy mineral and upgrade the resource at Keysbrook to a measured classification, confirming the in-ground value at approximately $500 million.

The deposit has no overburden and low clay (8%) and can be mined by conventional methods. The heavy mineral suite at Keysbrook has been found to average 11% zircon and is high in leucoxene and High TiO2 ilmenite. Based on current sales prices and exchange rates this gives the heavy mineral an approximate value of AUD$300 per tonne. - Web Site

STAGE II CAMDEN GAS PROJECT
9 December 2004
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 10 Reaches Total Depth
As planned, EM 10 production well, located less than 3 km from the site of the
Rosalind Park Gas Plant (“RPGP”) that has reached mechanical completion and is
now undergoing commissioning at Campbelltown, was successfully drilled to a total
depth of 653m on 8 December 2004. Within the upper Permian Illawarra Coal
Measures, the Bulli coal seam was intersected at a depth of 589m-592m and the
Balgownie coal seam was intersected at a depth of 605m-606m.

EM 14 Spudded
In keeping with Sydney Gas’ current drilling program, EM 14 production well was
spudded on 9 December 2004. It is planned that EM 14 will intersect the Bulli coal
seam within the upper Permian Illawarra Coal Measures at a depth of approximately
588m, and reach a total depth of approximately 653m.

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

LAKES OIL

TESTING WOMBAT 3 & HORIZONTAL DRILLING NORTH SEASPRAY 3

Wombat 3

Lakes Oil ("LKO") advises that due to heavy rains in East Gippsland overnight and continued problems in acquiring testing personnel, testing of Wombat 3 has been further delayed. Current expectation is that testing will now take place Friday. This test is designed to access a gas "kick" and oil fluorescence which occurred while drilling at 2104 metres to 2107 metres. Due to shortage of testing equipment at the time test was delayed until now. Because of activity in oil and gas exploration, people and equipment are still in short supply.

North Seaspray 3

Equipment and personnel are on site at North Seaspray 3. A 300 metre horizontal well will be drilled out of the bottom of the existing well. It is planned to drill this horizontal section underbalanced using Nitrogen and Diesel to circulate up the cuttings.

We believe this is the first time this technique has been used in Victoria and we are hopeful that we can increase the gas flow already encountered in this well.

We expect operations to get underway Friday.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

CBA TO BE BEACONSFIELD GOLD'S NEW BANKER

The Directors are pleased to announce that the Company has accepted an offer from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ("CBA") to provide a new package of banking facilities.

The new CBA facilities will comprise: -

(a) A $3 million overdraft facility to fund short term working capital requirements. Based on present cash balances and projected cash flows, it is anticipated that in normal circumstances this facility will not need to be drawn upon.

(b) A $3.35 million performance bond facility to support existing guarantee obligations without the requirement for cash collateral. This facility will free up $2.35 million of cash funds which the Company is presently not able to access.

(c) A gold hedging facility providing the Company with the ability to forward sell up to approximately 48,000 ozs of gold per year. This will give the Company the flexibility to lock in a percentage of its future gold production at attractive Australian dollar per ounce forward prices.

The CBA facilities will initially be available until 31 December 2006 and security arrangements will be similar to those for the existing facilities provided by the Company's current banker, Bank of Western Australia Limited

Completion is expected to take place early in the New Year, once the necessary legal documentation is finalized.

The replacement of the existing facilities has been a major priority of the Board for the past four months. The new relationship with CBA, in addition to releasing more than $2 million of previously inaccessible Company cash funds, will provide the Company with considerably more financial flexibility going forward.

YORKEYS PROJECT

ENCOURAGING DRILL RESULTS

Final assays have been received from a reverse circulation drilling program at the Yorkeys Project in central Queensland. The Yorkeys Project is wholly owned by Goldsearch Limited under Mining Lease 50098 and includes the historic Yorkeys Surprise, Zealandia and Triad workings which were developed between 1895 and 1902 to produce approximately 3,000 tonnes of quartz lode grading 25 g/t gold. Little exploration has been completed since then as the Yorkeys and Zealandia workings have been held under private mining lease.

Eight holes were drilled on ML50098 for a total of 507 metres to test the strike and down dip extent of the known mineralisation. A further hole of 75 metres depth was drilled into the Beer & Dawson prospect, located one kilometre to the east of ML50098, over which Goldsearch has an option to purchase.
At Yorkeys the mineralisation consists of shallow dipping auriferous quartz veins on the margin of a diorite stock whilst at the Beer and Dawson Prospect the mineralisation occurs in a steely dipping quartz vein within metasediments.

Encouraging results were obtained in all holes except Y007 which tested a secondary structure to the north of the main workings. The best results were obtained in drill holes Y004 and Y009. Y004 was drilled under the Triad workings and intersected a six metre zone grading 3.17 g/t gold which included one metre at 15.4 g/t gold. Drill hole Y009 was drilled into the Beer & Dawson Prospect and intersected 2 metres grading 8.62 g/t gold and 77 g/t silver which included one metre at 15.8 g/t gold and 140 g/t silver. In addition to these high grade results drill hole Y002 (under the Yorkeys Surprise) intersected multiple gold zones over a 12 metre width.

NEW GUINEA GOLD / MACMIN SILVER

NEWS RELEASE

DRILLING AT WEIOKO PROSPECT INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE GOLD

Vancouver 6th December 2004. Two drill holes to test for high grade gold bearing structures and a northern extension of the disseminated gold mineralisation at the Weioko Prospect, Sehulea Property, Papua New Guinea intersected gold grades of up to 23.5g/t, within a 14m intersection of 4.56g/t gold.

The Weioko prospect is owned 100% by New Guinea Gold Corporation and has an inferred resource of 84,000 ozs gold equivalent, or 1.7 million tonnes at 1.36g/t gold and 12.3g/t silver. Subject to the completion of additional drilling, and a feasibility study, this prospect is scheduled for development in 2006/2007.

Previous trench results at the northern end of the prospect have given high grade gold results at surface such as 16m of 20.3g/t gold, suggesting that high grade structures occur within the overall, lower grade, bulk mineable gold resource.

Two short drill holes targeted this concept and were successful in intersecting significantly higher gold grades than the resource average grade. Hole WEH 031, total depth of 64.8m, intersected 21m of 3.59g/t gold from a shallow depth of 7m to 28m downhole. Within this intersection a high grade structure containing 4m of 11.55g/t gold, including 1m of 23.5g/t gold was encountered.

Hole WEH 30 intersected more typical Weioko grades including a 51m intersection from 3m below surface to 54m downhole of 1.33g/t gold. This intersection contained several higher grade intervals including 6m at 2.44g/t gold, and 4m at 3.68g/t gold (with a high value of 6.81g/t gold).

These results are very encouraging and, with further drilling in 2005, should lead to an upgrading of the resource for this prospect. In addition the southern and depth extent of mineralisation have not yet been closed off.

Several other prospects with significant gold at surface occur within a few kilometres of Weioko and have yet to be drilled.

Mauritania Drilling Programme, Weekly Progress Report

Merou-1 Exploration Well – PSC B
Progress and Current Status:
Since the last report (30 November 2004) the well was plugged and abandoned on 1 December and the Stena Tay drill rig then moved to the Tiof-5 location. The well results were reported previously.

Tiof-5 Appraisal Well – PSC B
Progress and Current Status:
The Tiof-5 appraisal well was spudded on 3 December by the Stena Tay drilling rig. The well has been drilled to a depth of 2,159 metres and the 13 5/8 inch casing set. At midnight GMT on 6 December the riser and BOP’s were being run prior to drilling ahead.

Tiof-3 Appraisal Well – PSC B
Progress and Current Status:
Since the last report (30 November 2004) the well was suspended as a potential future development well and the West Navigator drill ship then moved to the Chinguetti Field.

Chinguetti Development Drilling
The West Navigator drill ship resumed operations on the Chinguetti development wells on 3 December 2004.
The Chinguetti development drilling programme will now commence, as scheduled, to ensure adequate time to drill, complete and prepare the wells for connection to the floating, production, storage and offtake (FPSO) vessel when it arrives. The West Navigator will commence operations and subsequently be joined by the Stena Tay. The Chinguetti development well surface locations are clustered at three separate “drilling centres” allowing both rigs to work in the field at the same time.
The rigs will work in tandem on the drilling centres with the West Navigator drilling and casing the top holes, followed by the Stena Tay drilling and casing the bottom holes through the reservoir interval. The West Navigator will then return to conduct the completion operations of these Chinguetti development wells after carrying out other appraisal and/or exploration activities for the joint venture.- Web Site

SYDNEY GAS DRILLING UPDATE - STAGE I HUNTER GAS PROJECT
Sydney Gas Ltd provides the following update upon its initial five pilot well drilling program within Stage I of the Hunter Gas Project.
As planned, Hunter-Bulga (“HB”) 2 production well, located in the vicinity of the Bulga mine site, approximately 25km south of Singleton, was successfully drilled to a total depth of 531m on 4 December 2004. Within the Upper Permian Wittingham Coal Measures, the Blakefield coal seam was intersected at a depth of 330m-337m, the Glen Munro coal seam was intersected at a depth of 340m-343m, the Woodlands Hill coal seam was intersected at a depth of 360m-362m and the Piercefield coal seam was intersected at a depth of 465m-470m.
The HB production wells are being drilled in order to delineate Sydney Gas’ high production fairway within the Hunter 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 production test these wells for a minimum period of six months to determine the reservoir’s production potential. - Web Site

Placer Dome Provides 2005 Outlook

December 6, 2004
(All amounts in US dollars)

Vancouver, Canada: Placer Dome Inc. (NYSE, TSX, ASX: PDG) today announced its operating outlook for 2005.

Gold production is expected to total 3.7 million ounces in 2005, up from 3.6 million ounces forecast in 2004 due to the resumption of milling at the Golden Sunlight mine in Montana, and increased production at the North Mara mine in Tanzania and the Granny Smith mine in Australia. These increases will be partially offset by lower projected production at the Cortez mine in Nevada. Continued strong currencies against the U.S dollar are expected to result in higher production costs for 2005 in U.S. dollar terms. Cash costs are forecast to be between $250 and $260 per ounce, and total costs are expected to be in the $315 to $325 per ounce range, assuming prevailing foreign exchange rates.

Copper production for 2005 is expected to total 430 million pounds, up from 415 million pounds forecast in 2004 due to higher recoveries at the Zaldívar mine in Chile and increased throughput at the Osborne mine in Australia. Cash costs are expected to be in the range of $0.60 to $0.65 per pound, and total costs are forecast at $0.75 to $0.80 per pound.

"Our production costs will continue to be influenced by currency and input cost movements," said Peter Tomsett, Placer Dome President and CEO. "However, at prevailing gold and copper prices our margins remain healthy, which combined with forecast increased production will maintain financial performance."

Capital expenditures are planned at $250 million in 2005. Deferred stripping expenditures are expected to total an additional $35 million. Exploration expenditures are forecast at $90 million, up from $75 million in 2004. Two-thirds of 2005 exploration spending will be directed toward exploration at existing mine sites.

"Our investments in mine site exploration are delivering results, which will be reflected in our year-end reserve estimates," Tomsett said. "Given our recent successes and the opportunities in our portfolio, the increased budget in 2005 is fully warranted. In addition, we will be making key decisions in 2005 on our development projects in Nevada, Chile and the Dominican Republic."

Placer Dome employs 13,000 people at 17 mines in seven countries. The Vancouver-based company's shares trade on the Toronto, New York, Swiss and Australian stock exchanges and Euronext-Paris under the symbol PDG. - Web Site


RIO TINTO

Diavik approves construction of new dike

The owners of the Diavik diamond mine (Rio Tinto 60%) today announced approval for the construction of the A418 dike, and funding for further study of the viability of underground mining, including the construction of an exploratory decline.

Construction of the A418 dike is expected to cost US$190 million and will commence in the summer of 2005. First production from the A418 pit will be in early 2008.

The exploratory decline will provide access to the A418 pipe and both the North and South A154 pipes to provide data to support feasibility studies into underground mining of the three diamond ore bodies. These studies will be completed in the first half of 2007. The cost of the feasibility studies, including the exploratory decline, together with a process plant optimisation programme, is expected to be US$75 million.

The development of the A418 open pit and, subsequently, the underground mines will enable Diavik Diamonds to capt ure the additional value due to better than anticipated process plant performance and higher than anticipated diamond values. - Web Site

The award was announced earlier this week at the annual Mines and Money conference in London, England. The awards are designed to celebrate the highest achievements for the global mining industry.

Cortez won for demonstrating the most improvement in new working practices and for better usage of existing infrastructure over the past year. Since the first gold bar was poured at Cortez in 1969, the mine has exceeded the expectations of its owners, employees and the surrounding community. 2004 marked the seventh consecutive year of production above the scheduled capacity. Identified reserves at the new Cortez Hills deposit, which were announced in April 2003, have grown 170% over the past 18 months.

Pete Neilans, Placer Dome's Executive General Manager, United States, was pleased about Cortez winning the award. "It is an honour to be part of such a tremendous team of people," he said. "Having the Cortez team recognized for their accomplishments through this prestigious award is certainly an accolade no one will forget."

The Misima mine in Papua New Guinea made the shortlist for the Mining Journal's Sustainable Development award. Misima was selected as a finalist for the design of its innovative mine closure program. - Web Site

Ellis-1 – Update
We are experiencing minor delays recovering a perforating gun that became tangled in wireline after higher than expected gas pressure moved the tool up the hole during perforation of the Morrow B zone. The fracture stimulation program will continue once this equipment is retrieved. In the interim the frac crew have moved to another location in the area.

Ellis-2 – Update
The drilling rig was released early in the week and is now rigging down and moving off the location.
We expect to begin the fracturing operation as soon as equipment is available and the location is clear.- Web Site

LAKES OIL

MEDIA RELEASE


Law would benefit Lakes Oil's geothermal potential

Immediate evaluation of geothermal assets in the Gippsland Basin will begin with the passing of legislation introduced into State Parliament this afternoon, Lakes Oil NL Chairman, Mr Rob Annells said today.

"I congratulate the Government on this legislation which follows other states in establishing that geothermal heat energy, at present untapped, belongs to all Victorians and has the potential to further enhance Victoria's position as the powerhouse of domestic energy in Australia " he said.

"Lakes Oil's wholly owned subsidiary Geothermal Energy Victoria Pty Ltd will begin evaluation of several opportunities immediately the legislation has passed both houses.

"Lakes Oil already holds the petroleum rights over almost all the entire onshore Gippsland Basin, together with a large portion of the onshore Otway Basin. Legislation would give Lakes the opportunity to acquire geothermal assets which may be contiguous with some of these existing leases.

"Lakes Oil has long recognised the potential for geothermal energy within Victoria and has identified several areas for immediate valuation."

Minerals & Petroleum Minister, Mr Theo Theophanous said in introducing the Bill that it would establish the legislative framework to enable industry investment in large-scale commercial exploration and development.

He said rapidly developing technology, new exploration techniques, rising energy prices and the Bracks Government's support for clean energy means interest in geothermal energy is rising across Victoria and worldwide.

Geothermal energy is heat derived from deep within the earth, stored in subterranean water and rocks. It can be used for a wide range of applications including conversion to electricity.

SEDIMENTARY HOLDINGS

CRACOW GOLD MINE UPDATE

Following the first gold pour at the new Cracow Gold Mine on 24 November 2004 an update on activities is given to coincide with an analyst/investor site visit today.

As at 30 November 2004 the Royal decline had advanced 1,650 metres from surface and the connecting Crown decline 119 metres from a take-off point 150 metres below surface. Access development including ventilation drives and underground installations total 977 metres.

Vertical raises including ventilation and secondary egress raises totalling 215 metres have been successfully completed. This includes a 3.5 metre diameter raised bored ventilation shaft which is now equipped with a fan as a return airway.

The Royal Shoot has been driven on 3 levels for a total of 545 metres. Access for the development of an additional 4 levels has been established.

Some 25,500 tonnes of ore have been stockpiled with some 2,800 tonnes treated.

Exploration at Cracow has been accelerated with the introduction of a second drilling rig. Drilling will focus on the delineation of high-grade mineralisation within known structures, and the discovery of new high-grade zones of mineralisation.

KAGARA ZINC

Significant New Gold Zone at Mungana

Kagara is pleased to announce that recent diamond drilling outside of the current published gold resource at Mungana has established a significant extension to the Mungana porphyry gold system.

Recently completed hole 853 intersected 58m at 4.12 grams per tonne gold (4.42 grams per tonne gold equivalent) including a high grade core of 24m at 8.30 grams per tonne gold (8.86 grams per tonne gold equivalent).

This high grade mineralization is contained within a broader zone of 179.7 metres assaying 1.76 grams per tonne gold (1.92 grams per tonne gold equivalent).

Results have also been received for holes 847 and 849 which were sited to test the strike extent of the porphyry gold mineralization. Hole 847 returned an intersection of 246.30 metres at 1.77 grams per tonne gold equivalent and hole 849 returned and intersection of 242.0m at 1.42 grams per tonne gold equivalent. These three holes along with holes drilled by previous explorers, outline a steeply dipping zone of gold mineralization 190 metres long with a true width of between 120 and 150 metres.

Holes 853, 556B and NQ14 are interpreted to represent higher grade shoots within the main mineralised porphyry system that is currently open at depth and along strike below the level of current drilling. A major exploration program is now required to determine the size of this system and various options are being considered to fund this program. - Web Site

CULLEN RESOURCES

Iron Ore Joint Venture - Farm in by Aquila Steel Pty Ltd

An agreement has been reached with Aquila Steel Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Aquila Resources Limited) whereby Aquila can explore, and if warranted, develop, iron ore deposits within five of Cullen's Ashburton tenements as follows : E08/1135 (Red Hill West); E08/1292 and E08/1375 (Mt Stuart); E08/1330 (Catho Well) and E08/1341 (Cardo Bore) -see Figures. Cullen retains the rights to minerals other than iron ore.

The terms of the Agreement are that:

The Cullen tenements contain paleodrainage channels that have been infilled with sediment derived from erosion of iron formations in the western part of the Hamersley Basin. The exploration target is the occurrence of channel iron deposits (CIDs), accumulations of material anomalously high in iron that have concentrated in the channels and become lithified.

Exploration in the 1960's identified the palaeochannels on the western part of the Hamersley Basin. Drilling and sampling showed the channels to contain CIDs. At that time, however, such occurrences were not considered viable as a source of iron when compared with the higher-grade Brockman type ores. Today Rio Tinto is profitably mining CIDs from Mesa J at Robe River, some 70 km to the north. Production of iron ore from CIDs is anticipated to increase over the next decade to cope with the rising demand.

Aquila plans to conduct programmes of detailed mapping and sampling to define the CIDs with follow-up drill testing of targets anticipated for the June 2005 Quarter.

SYDNEY GAS

Sydney Gas Drilling 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 13 Reaches Total Depth
As planned, EM 13 production well, located less than 3 km from the site of the
Rosalind Park Gas Plant (“RPGP”) that has reached mechanical completion and is
now undergoing commissioning at Campbelltown, was successfully drilled to a total
depth of 633m on 27 November 2004. Within the upper Permian Illawarra Coal
Measures, the Bulli coal seam was intersected at a depth of 564m-567m and the
Balgownie coal seam was intersected at a depth of 577m-579m.

EM 10 Spudded
In keeping with Sydney Gas’ current drilling program, EM 10 production well was
spudded on 1 December 2004. It is planned that EM 10 will intersect the Bulli coal
seam within the upper Permian Illawarra Coal Measures at a depth of approximately
592m, and reach a total depth of approximately 657m.

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
