WALL STREET

Wall Street ended a stellar third quarter with a moderate decline Friday, as the Dow Jones industrial average pulled back further from record-high levels. The major indexes closed out the week, month and quarter with gains.

Stocks dipped after St. Louis Federal Reserve President William Poole said the Fed would continue to watch economic data as it sets interest rate policy.

In economic news, the Commerce Department said consumer spending dropped in August by the largest amount in nearly a year and core inflation for August, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up a worrisome 2.5 percent compared to a year ago, the biggest year-over-year increase in more than a decade.

LAFAYETTE MINING

Annual Financial Report - 30 June 2006

Summary of Financial Performance

For the year ended 30 June 2006, the Lafayette Group recorded a consolidated loss to members of the parent entity of $111,034,348 or 17.8 cents per share based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year. This loss reflects in large part the financial impacts arising from the suspension of operations at Rapu Rapu.

Recognition of Hedge Contract Loss

This loss includes an amount of $83,130,033 or 13.3 cents per share, which is attributable to the accounting treatment of unrecognised losses on base and precious metal hedge contracts. The accounting treatment was deemed necessary after delivery of base and precious metals under the contracts was no longer considered to be ‘highly probable’ when the Lafayette Group’s commissioning activities at its Rapu-Rapu Polymetallic Project in the Philippines were temporarily suspended in early in 2006 after two discharges of waste water to the environment in late 2005.

As at balance date (30 June 2006), the delivery was not considered highly probably. While a Temporary Lifting Order has since been issued by the regulator and commissioning activities have re-commenced, the Project remained subject to the suspension order on that date. Accordingly, delivery could not be considered to be 'highly probable' on that date.

Under Accounting Standard AASB 139, the Lafayette Group is required to recognise the cumulative loss on hedging instruments (as measured by the mark-to-market value of the hedge contracts) directly in equity on the Lafayette Group's Balance Sheet, together with a corresponding liability. If a portion of the hedge becomes ineffective, as was the case with the Lafayette Group following the temporary suspension of its operations, the ineffective portion of the hedge contracts is recognised directly in the Income Statement.

Also as a consequence of the application of Accounting Standard AASB 139, the Lafayette Group’s consolidated Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2006, discloses a net working capital deficiency of $89,748,451 and a deficiency of net assets of $172,202,840.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Dear Shareholder,

This year, your company has secured a solid entry into the kaolin markets with over 70 new customers being established in Asia and Europe. Most of this has occurred in the second half of the year, therefore sales volumes are still in their infancy, being initial start-up phase container lots. However, we already have won about 20 larger national/international accounts which promises significant tonnage offtake for 2006/07.

Our kaolin division management team has also been further upgraded with the recruitment of a senior Business Development Manager located in our newly established European Business Development office in Luxembourg. Also, we have recruited a new CEO designate who has enjoyed a successful business development career in the kaolin industry and is currently a director of a mainstream kaolin competitor.

GRAVITY DIAMONDS

GRAVITY'S FIELD CREWS BACK IN DRC DIAMOND SEARCH FOLLOWING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

Lab results from past sampling program give focus to four main "hot" areas

Infill sampling commences on Luebo Block - centre of widespread alluvial mining by locals

Following presidential elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") and a A$5 million placement, Gravity Diamonds Limited field crews have recommenced diamond exploration on the Kasai Craton. Infill sampling will initially focus on the Luebo area, which has been the subject of widespread alluvial diamond mining by artisans and where Gravity continues to obtain encouraging results.

Three teams have started work and will be built up to a maximum of eight teams over the coming two months. The program in Luebo is anticipated to provide a further 400 samples in the high priority part of the block of tenements. Results from the program will be available towards the end of the year.

During the break in Gravity's field operations, laboratory results from all past kimberlitic indicator mineral ("KIM") sampling programs were received and detailed interpretations carried out. This has given Gravity four main project areas to focus activities and find targets: Luebo, Penge, Maniamuna and Gungu. This is in line with the company's strategy of using broad spaced regional KIM sampling to identify "hot" areas for more detailed follow-up and targeting.

The Luebo group of tenements has returned encouraging results from the drilling program completed during the year, states Gravity. A total 24 magnetic basement targets were tested over a broad area covering 7,000 square kilometres. The targets intersected were non-kimberlitic but core samples taken from the overlying sedimentary rocks returned positive indicator minerals in specific areas. In two holes, LUMAG 64 and 101, indicator minerals occurred along with highly weathered olivine-bearing ultramafic volcanic fragments.

Gravity says the overlying sedimentary rocks were laid down during the Upper Cretaceous period some 65-80 million years ago, when the dominant volcanic event was the emplacement of kimberlite pipes, including those at the diamond producing Mbuji Mayi............

GOLDSEARCH

Panaon Island project - drill results

The directors advise that Goldsearch has now received final assays results from joint venture partner and project operator Medusa Mining Limited for the recently completed surface and underground drilling program on the Panaon Island Gold Project, Philippines.

A total of three surface diamond core drill holes and two underground diamond core drill holes were completed at the project. The holes were designed to evaluate previously identified epithermal gold mineralisation at the Pinut-an deposit and the Pinut-an South and Caingin Point prospects.

Samples from underground drill holes UDH-01 and UDH-02 and surface drill hole SDH-01, which tested the potential of the Pinut-an deposit at depth, failed to return high-grade gold assays from the mineralisation intercepted. The best results were 0.3 metres @ 2.03 grams per tonne gold from 54.9 metres in hole UDH-01 and 0.6 metres @ 3.88 grams per tonne gold from 16.5 metres depth in hole SDH-01.

Drill hole SDH-02 which was targeted on veins at the Pinut-an South prospect failed to return any significant assays.

Results from SDH-03, which tested the Caingin Point target at depth, were disappointing with the best assay being 0.5 metres @ 1.90 grams per tonne gold from 81.5 metres.

The drilling results to date have downgraded all three targets and it is now considered that none of these targets represent a potential near-term mining opportunity. The project, which covers a total area of 4,150 hectares, is now considered as purely an exploration project and Goldsearch is reviewing the project on this basis and in terms of its exploration strategy.

MITHRIL

EXECUTIVE CHANGES

It is with regret that the Board of Directors of Mithril Resources Ltd has accepted the resignation of the Managing Director, Mr David Miller, effective September 29, 2006. Mr Miller has resigned for personal reasons. Mr Miller made a very important contribution to the establishment of Mithril Resources and brought extensive exploration/mining industry experience to the Company. He played a major role in the establishment of Mithril's extensive, Australia-wide, project portfolio and the very satisfactory operation of Mithril's alliance with BHP Billiton Minerals Pty. Limited. Mr Miller will be available to consult to Mithril as required.

The Board is pleased to announce that Mr Graham Ascough has agreed to accept the position of Managing Director of Mithril, commencing October 9, 2006. Mr Ascough has 17 years of exploration experience and was Manager of Nickel and PGM Exploration for Falconbridge (Australia) Pty Ltd prior to his decision to join Mithril. He is a geophysicist by training with a strong technical background and has considerable International and Australian experience focused on evaluating and exploring base metal and nickel sulphide opportunities. Overall, Mr Ascough has had broad industry involvement ranging from playing a leading role in setting the strategic direction for significant country-wide exploration programmes, to working directly with junior explorers. Until Mr Ascough commences, Mithril's activities are being managed by the Company's Chief Geologist, Mr Jim McKinnon-Matthews and the Chairman, Mr John Roberts.

Federal Court Grants Stay of Takeover Panel Orders

Alinta is pleased to advise the Federal Court has today granted a stay of the orders issued by the Takeovers Panel requiring Alinta to vest its 10.25% stake in Australian Pipeline Trust (APA) with ASIC for sale. The orders issued by the Panel on 24 September (as varied) had required Alinta to deliver the stock to ASIC by tomorrow. The Court has by consent granted the stay until 9 October when it will hear the judicial review application lodged by Alinta in relation to the Takeover Panel's findings of unacceptable circumstances and the resulting orders to sell the stake in APA. The hearing will follow the second court hearing for the Scheme of Arrangement that will be voted on by shareholders on 6 October.

Dear Shareholders

This year has seen several significant building blocks put in place for Carnarvon, which the directors believe reflect a new start in the Company's long history.

In December 2005 Ted Jacobson was appointed as a non-executive director, but was soon persuaded to apply his significant technical and commercial experience in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer. Recently retired from Tap Oil Limited, where he was a co-founder and technical director, Ted is a petroleum geophysicist with 37 years experience in petroleum exploration principally in the North Sea, South East Asia, South America and Australia. Within Australia he has been responsible for initiating a number of petroleum discoveries within the Cooper Basin, Barrow Sub Basin, and Timor Sea.

The directors view his appointment as a key step in establishing the Company’s technical credentials, and gaining market recognition that Carnarvon has the capability to not only capitalise on the immediate production and exploration opportunities in the Wichian Buri oilfield and surrounding exploration acreage within onshore Thailand, but to also actively pursue other new venture opportunities.

In late 2005 Carnarvon settled litigation with its joint venture partner in Thailand, Tiger Petroleum Inc. This followed the acquisition of Tiger by Pan Orient Energy Corp., a Canadian TSX listed oil and gas company with recognised technical expertise and financial strength. An excellent working relationship has since been established with Pan Orient as the new operator and this is now reflected in the pace of exploration and appraisal activity in the field.

A new 245 square km 3D seismic programme and a 2D reprocessing programme were completed in June. The joint venture is currently in phase one of a two phase drilling programme, comprising up to 27 wells. The results of these wells will allow the Company to update reserves for the Wichian Buri oilfield and will explore the many prospects identified from the new seismic data...... Web Site

KAGARA ZINC

King Vol & Montevideo Drilling Update

Kagara Zinc Limited is pleased to announce the results of drilling at the King Vol and Montevideo prospects located north of Chillagoe in northern Queensland. The drilling at King Vol was conducted at depths of between 200 to 400 metres beneath the current resource of 1.15 million tonnes at 18.5% zinc and 1.1% copper. The results not previously released are detailed below and shown on the accompanying long section. ......

These results demonstrate the continuity of this high grade system with depth. It is very encouraging that the mineralisation intersected was predictable and it occurred in a similar geological setting to the existing resource. These results show that the King Vol system is significantly larger than previously thought and has potential to at least double in size. A new resource estimate is in progress and is expected to be released shortly.

The diamond drill rig has moved from King Vol to Montevideo and has completed the first of four holes. The first hole MVD09 has intersected a 5.3 metre wide zone of moderate to high grade zinc mineralisation at a depth of 408.1 metres. The hole is located 130 metres down dip and along strike of previous mineralisation and assays are not expected to become available for 3 weeks. . - Web Site

Oil found in second development well in LaSalle Parish Project

Pryme Oil and Gas Limited (ASX Code: PYM), an Australian oil and natural gas producer and explorer operating in the U.S., announces that the Coleman No.7 (previously called the Coleman No.6) development well was successfully drilled to a total depth of 4,500 feet (1,371 metres) and encountered shows of oil in eight Wilcox sands, the G-4, G-3, F-2, E-3, C-2, B-4, B-2 and A-2 sands.

A core analysis indicated good permeability and oil saturation in 34 feet of Wilcox sands being the G-4, C-2, B-4, B-2 and A-2. Consequently, the well is being cased for completion in the C-2 sand which is the primary field pay sand. The B-4, B-2 and A-2 zones will be kept as Proved, Undeveloped sands for future re-completion up the hole.

The successful oil shows in the Coleman No.7 opens up another development well location to the northeast to be named the Coleman No.8 in order to test the F-2 sand. The F-2 was found in the Coleman No.7 and it is expected that the No.8 will effectively test the F-2. ..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

The Dow Jones industrial average reached a milestone Thursday, briefly trading above its record high close of 11,750.28 set on 14 January, 2000. The Index eased in the afternoon to close up 29 points at 11,718.45.

The economic news was mixed, and didn't appear to have much impact on trading. The Commerce Department revised its gross domestic product number for spring downward to 2.6 percent from 2.9 percent.

Advancing issues led decliners 8 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil prices declined as senior officials of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries cartel quashed speculation the group was cutting production to tighten supply.

Natural gas futures slid after the U.S. government reported that inventories of natural gas - the nation's most common home heating fuel - climbed last week.

Copper gained in London on speculation that a labor dispute at Teck Cominco Ltd.'s Highland Valley mine may result in a work stoppage, reducing supply of the metal. However Comex copper prices fell the most in more than a week on signs of a slowing economy in the U.S., the world's second-largest user of the metal.

Gold prices extended their recent climb, with traders and analysts citing improved physical demand and chart-based factors as driving forces of the climb.

MAIDEN DRILLING PROGRAM IDENTIFIES THREE BAUXITE DEPOSITS ON CAPE YORK

Metallica Minerals Limited's 50% owned subsidiary, Cape Alumina Pty Ltd, has identified three separate bauxite deposits in its first drilling program on Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula.

Metallica (ASX Code "MLM") announced today that it has completed the first stage of drilling at the Wenlock and Catfish Creek bauxite deposits, located approximately 60 kilometres north-east of Weipa.

A total of 674 shallow aircore holes were completed on EPM14547 and three separate deposits of pisolitic bauxite mineralisation were defined.

Metallica Managing Director, Mr Andrew Gillies, said the total area of drilled bauxite exceeding one metre in thickness in the three zones is approximately 21 square kilometres.

"The bauxite mineralisation is up to 5.5 metres in thickness at Wenlock and up to 3 metres at Catfish Creek, and appears to be a continuation of the bauxite on the nearby Alcan and Comalco mining leases" Mr Gillies said.

Cape Alumina CEO Dr Paul Messenger said "Economic bauxite thickness will not be known until assays are available in December but, in both areas, the mineralisation is open to the west and north and extends on to Cape Alumina's adjoining Exploration Permit for Minerals application EPMA15278".

Cape Alumina, holds a 100% interest in EPM14547 and application EPMA15278. Cape Alumina expects to gain access to EPM15278 for further drilling in early 2007. Cape also has thirteen additional EPM applications covering potential bauxite plateaus that are pending grant.

"As a junior resource company focused on bauxite, Cape Alumina is in the unique position of having a large tenement holding in one of the most prodigious bauxite production areas in the world," Dr Messenger said.

Drilling was conducted on a nominal 320 x 320 m grid with more detailed drilling at 160 x 160m spacing over the southern portion of the main Wenlock deposit. The pisolitic bauxite generally occurs from 0.25 to 0.5 metres below the surface and extends downwards for 2-3 metres before grading into pisolitic ironstone.

Preliminary sieve analysis suggests the bauxite should yield between 60 and 70% using a 1.2mm sieve screen. Pisolites are well rounded and generally range up to 12 mm in diameter. The bauxite is predominantly free digging with minor zones of cemented pisolitic bauxite. Bauxite assays are expected by December. - Web Site

PLATINUM AUSTRALIA

2006 Annual Report

CHAIRMANS REPORT

I am pleased to report that 2006 has been a successful year for Platinum Australia, which has made significant progress towards its objective of becoming a profitable platinum group metals (PGM) producer. PGM prices, particularly platinum and rhodium, have remained buoyant over the year, mainly as a result of continuing strong demand for high quality catalysts from the automotive industry.

In July, we completed a bankable feasibility study on the Smokey Hills PGM project, our first development project in South Africa. Preliminary figures published in July, based on a resource of one million ounces of 4E PGM (platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold) and a project producing 95,000 ounces of 4E PGM per annum, confirm that the project is robust with low operating and capital costs.

Under conservative base case price assumptions, Smokey Hills will generate a pre-tax cash flow of US$139 million over the seven year life of the mine. Using the average metal prices and exchange rate for July 2006, the cash flow generated rises to US$396 million.

MALACHITE RESOURCES

HIGH GRADE COPPER INTERSECTED AT MT LIDSTER

Malachite has received very encouraging results from an initial drilling program at its recently optioned Mt Lidster copper prospect in NW Queensland.

High grades of copper were intersected, including 6m @ 4.19% Cu and 4m @ 5.29% Cu.
The target is a mineralised structure that outcrops in three main pods over about 650m of strike length.
Follow up drilling is planned for November.

Malachite Resources NL (ASX: MAR) advises that it has received assay results for samples from a preliminary, five hole reverse circulation percussion drilling program at its new Mt Lidster copper prospect, located between Mt Isa and Cloncurry in northwest Queensland (Fig. 1).

Excellent grades of copper mineralisation were intersected, with gold and cobalt as potential credits. Results include:

MLRC02: 6m @ 4.19% Cu, 0.37g/t Au and 0.10% Co; and
MLRC04: 4m @ 5.29% Cu, 0.23g/t Au and 0.07% Co........ - Web Site

MINERAL DEPOSITS

Further High Grade Results at Sabodala North

At the Sabodala gold deposit, extension and infill drilling to the north of section 20450N to 20770N - a distance of 320 metres - has continued to return gold grade intersections (see Attachment 1).

The main lode structure continues to plunge deeper in a northwards direction. The 40 metre square drilling pattern to identify the direction and extent of this down plunge zone was postponed in mineralisation at line 20770N (see Attachment 2).

The new drill plan will now concentrate on the identification of mineralisation within the initial open pit shell to a depth of approximately 150 metres beneath surface in both the north and south of the main Sabodala gold deposit.

Northern Zone
This main lode, which is also associated with a flat-lying link structure, has reached more than 300 metres below surface. As well as the main lode zone, significant mineralisation is also recognised in the link structure, including:

SBRC263D 9.5m @ 3.6g/t Au from 180.8m
SBRC276 13m @ 2.5g/t Au from 186m
SBRC332D 23.5m @ 2.3g/t Au from 189.5m

Other mineralised zones include the basal mylonite shear and the footwall position. Intersections from the mylonite and footwall zones zone include:

SBRC294D 8.2m @ 8.0g/t Au from 230m
SBRC332D 4m @ 5.2g/t Au from 243m
SBRC333D 9m @ 3.2g/t Au from 179m and 5m @ 6.5g/t Au from 243m
SBRC336D 2.9m @ 6.1g/t Au from 181m
SBRC313D 14m @ 6.8g/t Au from 351m
SBRC329D 7.8m @ 6.8g/t Au from 172.2m and 24m @ 3.9g/t Au from 183m

Additional drill results for the northern extension area are awaited.

Shallow mineralisation intersected in SBRC301D; 15m @ 2.8g/t Au from 30m, is significant in terms of the initial open pit mine design. Further results are pending......... - Web Site

Weekly Drilling Report

POE-6 EXPLORATION WELL

The Phase 1 drilling programme at the Wichian Buri Oil Field, Thailand commenced on 11 July 2006 and is currently progressing with the drilling of the 4th well of the planned 7 well programme.

1. POE-6 Exploration Well
The POE-6 exploration well has been drilled to a total depth of 1,200 metres and logging has been completed. Current operations are the running of casing in preparation for long term production testing at a later date using a workover rig.

The POE-6 well was primarily targeting the G sand reservoir in a large fault block separate and to the west of the main Wichian Buri field. This separate structure extends approximately 2.5 kilometers north and up dip of the POE-6 location. To date, no oil production has been established in the fault block penetrated by POE-6, and successful flow of oil here could add substantially to the oil reserves in the Wichian Buri area.

Hydrocarbon shows and elevated mud gas readings were encountered over a combined interval of 128 meters while drilling through various targets between 700 to 1,200 meters. After drilling through the G sand target, crude oil approximately ½ centimetre in depth covered the entire reserve mud pit. Preliminary log analysis indicates a total net pay of approximately 22.8 meters in thickness, 10.2 meters in the G sand, 4 meters in the F sand as well as two other zones of 4.9 and 3.7 meters in net thickness.

We expect testing to commence in early October subject to the in-country arrival of perforation charges and transport of these to the concession. A service rig has been contracted and will allow for extended pump testing of the newly drilled wells to establish the potential for commercial production. It will then move to existing producing wells in an attempt to enhance production performance.

The results of logging are encouraging, however until flow testing of the well has been carried out, the commercial significance of the discovery has yet to be determined.- Web Site

2006 Annual Report

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW

Dear Shareholder

It is my pleasure as Executive Chairman of your Company since 11 October 2005 to report that Deep Yellow has recovered from its disappointments surrounding the JORC resource drilling problems at its Napperby uranium project and has, importantly, continued to grow its tenement portfolio in Australia to approximately 63,000 km2.

Some good technical input by the Company’s new team led to successful trenching at Napperby that resulted in a better understanding of the style and controls of the uranium mineralisation. Ongoing resource drilling continues to return very good assay results and has delineated higher grade mineralised channels.

On 20 February 2006 the company announced a one for two non-renounceable entitlement issue at 7.5 cents which was very well supported and raised almost $12 million. This left the Company with about $15 million and I am especially thankful for the faith shown by the shareholders towards the new Board by subscribing to this extent.

Following on from the June 2005 acquisition of the uranium rights to Tanami Gold NL’s extensive tenement holding in the Tanami- Arunta Province, two further landmark acquisitions were made; the first being an agreement to acquire 100% of the uranium rights to Matrix Metals Ltd’s extensive tenements in the Mt Isa-Cloncurry district of North Western Queensland; and the second an agreement to acquire 100% of the uranium rights to Dominion Gold Operation Pty Ltd’s extensive tenement holdings in the Western Gawler district of South Australia. Both these agreements offer exciting potential for discovery and will be aggressively evaluated over the coming year.

The Company has also recently announced that it will be seeking to extend its activities by looking at uranium projects offshore. Although a number of projects have been inspected, nothing meeting our criteria has been identified to date.

I look forward to an exciting year for Deep Yellow with drill ready-targets in the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.

Thank you to my co-directors and our small but dedicated and hardworking team. A special word of thanks to Martin Kavanagh who agreed to close his successful consultancy to join Deep Yellow as a fulltime Executive Director. - Web Site

SPECTACULAR 40m CHANNEL INTERSECTIONS AT COOLJARLOO

Spectacular thicknesses of heavy minerals (HM) have been intersected in a number of holes in Image’s recent drilling at Cooljarloo in the North Perth Basin. These thick intersections are interpreted to occur in channels as described in Image’s ASX release of 3 July 2006 where a large intersection of 30m @ 6.6% HM from 39m was reported on the eastern margin of the project. The recent drilling has been completed 2.5km to the NW of this intersection on four separate lines over a strike length of 850m (refer to attached map and sections) where some shallower, consistent, thick, spectacular intersections of similar channels have been made including:

Hole 268 22m @ 6.1% HM from 18m
Hole 269 14m @ 5.3% HM from 18m
Hole 270 30m @ 4.6% HM from 18m
Hole 271 40m @ 4.4% HM from 18m
Hole 524 16m @ 4.0% HM from 16m
Hole 528 8m @ 4.6% HM from 16m
Hole 713 12m @ 3.8% HM from 18m
Hole 277 42m @ 2.8% HM from 16m
Hole 533 20m @ 3.9% HM from 16m

Modal analysis of a composite sample from the northernmost section, near the boundary of the tenement, which includes an intercept of 40m @ 4.4% HM, indicates the valuable heavy mineral content of the HM to be a remarkable 85%, comprised of 68% ilmenite, 11% zircon, 3.3% rutile and 2.6% leucoxene. These channel sediments are unusual features and occur down to 40m below the base of the main strandlines. Thicknesses of up to 42m are two to three times greater than the thickness of the resource strands discovered by previous Image subsidiary Magnetic Minerals at Dongara, which are scheduled for mining in 2008. The Cooljarloo channels appear to have excellent physical dredging characteristics with a high proportion of free running sand, low slimes/clay content and little induration....... - Web Site

Perseus Mining Limited (ASX: PRU) is pleased to announce a maiden Inferred resource estimate of 10.4Mt at 1.9g/t containing 618,000 ounces of gold covering the easternmost 400m of the 2km long mineralised zone at Obdilla.

Obdilla is one of five prospects situated on the Tolubay licence, in the foothills of the Alay Range and Chauway valley in central western Kyrgyz Republic, 110km from Osh city. The Tolubay licence is the smallest of the eight Perseus licences covering 4,846sq km that form the South Kyrgyz Gold Project.

Gold mineralisation is found in a Carlin-style setting hosted by calcareous siltstone and sandstone of the Tolubay Suite. This sequence appears to be getting deeper and wider to the west, highlighting the potential for a substantial increase in delineated resources as drilling is extended in a westerly direction. By way of example, the westernmost 100m of the 400m strike over which the resource estimation was made contains 266,000oz, or 43% of the gold in the resource estimate.

Perseus currently has two diamond drill rigs on site and has plans to add at least one further rig. Due to the relatively low altitude and good infrastructure, drilling at Obdilla will continue throughout the year. Perseus expects to be in a position to announce regular resource upgrades for the Obdilla deposit, which appears to be part of a large mineralised system in a geological setting highly prospective for large-scale sediment hosted gold deposits......... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street rose for a third straight session Wednesday, although the Dow Jones industrial average fell just short of touching its record high close after a jump in oil prices stifled investors' enthusiasm.

Some good news came in a report that new home sales rose 4.1 percent in August, their biggest increase in five months, raising hopes that a sharp decline in the housing industry could be easing.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by roughly 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Copper declined in London and New York, erasing earlier gains.

Nickel advanced in London after inventories fell to the lowest since the end of last month.

Gold and silver futures rose Wednesday, helped along by both higher crude-oil prices and position-squaring ahead of the approaching end of the month and quarter, analysts said.

Cambay-71 - The Cambay-71 well is located on the flank of the northern culmination of the Western High structure about 800 metres to the northeast of Cambay-72 and is expected to intersect a geological section similar to Cambay-72. The well is expected to take 8-11 days to reach the planned total depth (TD) of 1600m.

The primary reservoir objective is the Oligocene sandstone (OS II) and the secondary objectives are at Miocene and Eocene levels. These sandstone reservoir units are proven producers in fields immediately to the north and south of Cambay Field. Oil is being produced on the Western High at low rates on an intermittent basis from wells that have suffered formation and well bore damage in the past.

Resource estimates for two potential reservoir units (Oligocene OS II and Eocene EP IV) were published in May 2006 and again with the release relating to the commencement of Cambay-72. - Web Site

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS IDENTIFY ELEVEN NEW TARGETS AT TURNER RIVER - DIAMOND DRILLING COMMENCES

De Grey Mining Ltd is pleased to report that the recently completed VTEM airborne electro magnetic survey has identified eleven new geophysical anomalies at the Company's Turner River Project, 60 kilometres south of Port Hedland.

The results from the survey are particularly encouraging in that it appears to have established a correlation between conductivity anomalies and the known mineralisation at the Orchard Tank, Acacia and Discovery prospects, as well as identifying eleven new and untested anomalies.

Once further geophysical modelling is completed these anomalies will be the subject of future drilling programs.

De Grey has also partially completed a trial of induced polarisation geophysics at Orchard Well which has identified a chargeability anomaly near the Acacia Prospect. Previous RC drilling near and above this chargeability anomaly contained anomalous base metals results. An existing RC hole will be deepened with a diamond tail as part of the current drilling program to test this target.

A 2,430 metre RC drill program has recently been completed at Turner River with the main purpose of providing pre collars for the diamond drilling program. Diamond drilling commenced on site, Monday 25th September and as a result of the geophysical target generation success De Grey will now increase its current diamond drilling program to 1,600 metres with a view to adding additional metres depending on further results and rig availability........ - Web Site

LAFAYETTE MINING

Rapu Rapu Project Update

You will find on Lafayette's website a copy of our media release as announced to the Australian Stock Exchange this morning. This release provides a response to yesterday’s edition of The Australian newspaper which included an article written by Greg Roberts, entitled "Miner 'misrepresented' damning report".

In this story, the journalist claims that the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) is examining a complaint alleging misleading disclosure by Lafayette of the published report of the Rapu-Rapu Fact Finding Commission (FFC). The FFC was established by the government of the to examine the environmental and health effects of the Rapu Rapu Polymetallic Project.

Lafayette is confident that we have complied with all disclosure requirements and confirms that we have not been contacted by the ASX regarding this issue. Accordingly, Lafayette believes that the allegations reported in the article are untrue.

It should also be noted that after due consideration of the findings of the FFC and wide community consultation, the government of the Philippines issued a Temporary Lifting Order that has enabled Lafayette to resume commissioning of its base metals plant.

The release also provides an update on production of concentrates, including first zinc concentrate, along with further details of the Company's corporate initiatives as highlighted in recent releases. - Web Site

MIRABELA NICKEL

All assay results now received for Indicated Resource calculation at Santa Rita

Mirabela is now able to proceed with completion of the Indicated Resource calculation following receipt of the final assays. The table below summarizes the best intersections amongst the new results.

Summary of new significant intersections

Hole ID	From (m)	Composite downhole width	Ni%
MBS 182	119	51	0.89
MBS 183	172	74	0.73
MBS 185	222	51	0.70
MBS 188	0	39	0.62

0.4% Ni cut-off grade, 4m minimum mining width

Hole MBS 183 returned an excellent result (74m @ 0.73% Ni), located immediately south of MBS 6 (60m @ 0.96% Ni) in the Central zone. Holes MBS 182 (51m @ 0.89% Ni) and MBS 185 (51m @ 0.70% Ni) represent robust intersections within the Northern zone. Hole MBS 188 also returned a good result (39m @ 0.62% Ni) for the Southern zone.

All four best intersections are consistent with existing drilling results nearby and lie within the projected open- pit limits (based on US$4/lb Ni price). Details of the above intersections and other significant intersections can be found below. A schematic long section showing the positions of new significant intersections will be made available soon.

Much of the geological interpretation work has already been completed in preparation for the resource calculation, which is expected to be completed within the coming weeks.

Diamond drilling is continuing to look for additional strike extension of the Southern zone at Santa Rita. An IP geophysical program to identify additional disseminated nickel sulphides further along strike from Santa Rita has commenced.

Early drilling of a VTEM geophysical target to the northeast of Santa Rita (within gabbro) did not encounter rocks normally associated with mineralization. Further drilling is planned to test the northern gabbro contact for mineralization in this area.

The permitting process is on track for completion by April 2007. A comprehensive environmental impact study and report (Relatório de Impacto Ambiental - RIMA) was submitted to the environmental authorities this week and preliminary feedback is positive. Application for mining permits is also well advanced and it is intended to submit a feasibility study (Plano de Aproveitamento Econômico - PAE) to the mines department in October. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street surged higher Tuesday, carrying the Dow Jones to ITS second-best close ever as positive economic data further buoyed a growing sense of optimism among investors. The Dow closed just 53 points away from its record high close.

Stocks, particularly the blue chips, rose after the Conference Board said its consumer confidence index for September rose more than expected, reaching 104.5 from a revised reading of 100.2 in August. Analysts forecast the index would rise to 103.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Copper rose to a two-week high on speculation that makers of metal wires and pipes, particularly in China, will increase purchases to avoid a supply shortfall this year.

Gold futures rose Tuesday as, overseas demand for the precious metal combined with the end of European central bank sales, lifted the benchmark gold futures contract to its highest level in two weeks.

Managing Directors letter to all shareholders

General Meeting of Shareholders - 3rd November, 2006

Mr. Daryl Dixon, HTH Holdings Pty Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Scarborough Equities Limited) and several other shareholders together disclosing a 15.6% interest in Drillsearch Energy Limited (Drillsearch) have requisitioned a General Meeting of shareholders to remove Mr. Graham Reveleigh and our Chairman Mr. John Armstrong from the Board and replace them with Mr. Chris Ryan and Mr. Daryl Dixon respectively.

In compliance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act Drillsearch has therefore fixed a General Meeting of all of the shareholders of Drillsearch to consider the proposals. Details of the Meeting are:

Time: 12.00 noon Friday 3rd November 2006
Location: CTA Club, MLC Centre, Cnr. Martin Place and Castlereagh Street, Sydney.

A Notice of Meeting and Proxy Form accompany this letter.
Drillsearch's Directors unanimously recommend that you vote AGAINST resolutions 1 to 3 inclusive

Drillsearch's experienced Board and Management Team HAS VERY SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED DRILLSEARCH'S GROWTH IN REVENUE , RESERVES AND A $3.45 MILLION PROFIT in 2006 WHILE CONDUCTING A 70 WELL OIL DRILLING PROGRAMME AT TINTABURRA AND OBTAINING AN $18 MILLION FINANCE FACILITY TO FUND THE DRILLING.

Drillsearch directors are currently interviewing candidates for an expanded Board and unanimously oppose the election of either of Messrs Dixon and Ryan to the Board. Neither have experience in the upstream petroleum business. They recommend that shareholders vote against all of the resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
Mr. Daryl Dixon and his associates propose to obtain Board control without a takeover bid. Mr. Dixon has stated he will then:
- Distribute cashflow from Drillsearch's Tintaburra Project as dividends;
- Sell Drillsearch's profitable and expanding Canadian petroleum operations; and
- Dispose of or de - emphasise Drillsearch's exploration assets and investments.

Drillsearch's Board has achieved increased shareholder value by focused investment in a drilling strategy and reserve growth. It believes that at this point Mr. Dixon’s strategy would be detrimental to medium to long term growth. Major companies such

Talisman Energy Inc did not pay dividends for many years but achieved major capital gain increases for shareholders.

Drillsearch's Canadian operations are expanding, are profitable and provide diversified exposure to the North American petroleum business.

The Dixon "break up" strategy is not in the shareholder's interests....... - Web Site

PERSEUS MINING

Resource Upgrade Grumesa Gold Project

Perseus Mining Limited (ASX: PRU) is pleased to announce an upgraded Inferred resources estimate for the Kayeya gold deposit (Grumesa Gold Project) of 29Mt at 0.9g/t Au containing 800,000 ounces of gold. This September 2006 estimate took into account the 2004 and 2005 drill data, a higher gold price and increased knowledge of mineralisation and metallurgy, and superseded the 2002 Inferred resources estimate of 15Mt @ 0.9g/t Au containing 450,000 ounces of gold.

It should be noted that the resources are still highly constrained by a shallow average drill depth of around 30m. Given that the mineralised system is around 500m wide, vertical and shallow dipping lodes have been identified and most drill holes in the existing resource model ended in mineralisation, the likelihood of gold mineralisation extending below the current resource limits is high.

The resources do not take into account drilling completed since June 2006. Perseus currently has two RC rigs working double shift to complete a 10,000m drill program which will enable conversion of a portion of the Inferred resources to Measured and Indicated as part of a feasibility study into establishing a heap leach operation at Grumesa..... - Web Site

UNITED KIMBERLEY DIAMONDS

Diamond Project Update - Phillips Range - 13 kimberlite targets identified at Moonlight Valley -

United Kimberley Diamonds NL (UKD) advises that a ground gravity geophysics survey over the Company's Moonlight Valley diamond prospect at Phillips Range, has identified a number of prospective gravity anomalies for drilling.

The survey targeted diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in Moonlight Valley, an area of approx. 10km2 with potential to contain a large kimberlite or clusters of kimberlites. Moonlight Valley lies just to the south of the known and diamondiferous Aries kimberlite cluster in an analogous geological setting and is a prospective structural setting for new pipe discoveries.

Gravity readings were taken at 50 metre centres and a total of 2,892 gravity stations were recorded (including repeat stations). The data is of high quality with terrain corrections and data processing carried out by separate geophysical consultancy groups.

A total of 13 geophysical targets have been identified from this data, 12 are gravity lows and one a gravity high (T3). UKD plans to drill these targets later this field season as soon as a rig becomes available, all Government approvals are already in place. The largest of these anomalies (T9) is approximately 4 hectares (40,000 square metres), but could be larger if the T8 and T9 anomalies are joined........- Web Site

MINOTAUR'S $1M STAKE IN PLATSEARCH TO BOOST NSW-VIC EXPLORATION

Minotaur Exploration Limited (ASX code: "MEP") is to step up its exploration for gold and copper in eastern Australia under a decision announced today to take a A$1 million equity position in fellow listed explorer, PlatSearch NL.

Minotaur will subscribe for 8.75 million shares in PlatSearch with the funds to be paid in three tranches of A$350,000, equivalent to A$0.04 cents per share per tranche, over the next two years, for a total price of A$0.12 cents per share.

These proceeds can only be spent by PlatSearch on generating potential base and precious metals exploration drilling opportunities in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania - and over which Minotaur would then have first right of refusal.

PlatSearch is a renowned specialist along the eastern seaboard in initially identifying copper, gold, lead and zinc mineralisation requiring resource definition drilling by larger partners.

A key expectation of Minotaur is for potential greenfields gold and copper targets particularly to be identified in the Lachlan Fold Belt which covers much of central and eastern NSW and central and eastern Victoria....... - Web Site

Exploration Update

Integra Mining Limited (Integra) is pleased to provide investors with an update of current and planned exploration activities.

Lucky Bay
Aircore drilling is in-progress at the Lucky Bay Exploration Licence (southwest of the Randalls Project) targeting interpreted extensions of structures hosting the known Lucky Bay gold mineralisation. Known gold mineralisation is shallow oxide material with an average grade of approximately 7 g/t gold.

King
An RC drill rig is expected on-site this week to test extensions to previous high-grade gold drill intercepts at the King Prospect including:

4 metres at 6.87 g/t gold,
3 metres at 5.20 g/t gold,
1 metre at 19.9 g/t gold.

Additionally, coarse gold nuggets and visible gold in quartz vein float have been located at the King Prospect highlighting the potential for very high grade gold mineralisation.

KZ5
The KZ5 Prospect is interpreted as Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) zinc-copper- gold mineralisation. Previous diamond and RC drilling focused on testing a very small proportion of a very large Induced Polarisation (IP) conductivity anomaly now defined by recent ground geophysical programmes (Figure 1). Best results from previous drilling include 1.5% zinc, 0.2% copper and up to 2.54 g/t gold over 1 metre intervals and many holes intercepted strongly anomalous zinc-copper-gold mineralisation over widths in excess of 10 metres..... - Web Site

Second high-grade strand outlined at Cooljarloo

The remaining laboratory results have now been received from Image’s recent infill drilling programme at Cooljarloo in the North Perth Basin. The southern 2km of the 3km long NNW trending 28,000 strand has now been drilled on a 20 x 200m spacing by the Company. A number of outstanding high-grade near-surface results have been received from the 28,000 strand including:

Hole 605 6m @ 10.4% HM from surface
Hole 606 4m @ 7.9% HM from surface
Hole 609 8m @ 9.4% HM from surface
Hole 590 4m @ 15.8% HM from surface
Hole 591 8m @ 19.0% HM from surface
Hole C3614 4m @ 26.1% HM from 4m (historical drilling)
Hole C3591 6m @ 30.3% HM from 2m (historical drilling)
Hole 580 4m @ 7.2% HM from 4m
Hole 573 4m @ 9.1% HM from surface
Hole 625 4m @ 26.0% HM from 2m
Hole 637 4m @ 13.6% HM from 2m
Hole 645 4m @ 5.7% HM from 2m

These results define a continuous high-grade core zone over a 2km-long strike predominantly from near surface (refer to map and sections). This is the second highgrade strand defined in this drilling programme. Previous high-grade results were announced on the 35AHD strand over a 1.7km strike length, predominantly made up of two high-grade core zones within this 5.2km-long high-grade strand (ASX release 8 August 2006)....... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks rose Monday after Dallas Federal Reserve President Richard Fisher suggested inflation would be dampened by a slowing economy and said that while the housing and auto sectors are economic weak points, the rest of the U.S. economy is doing "extremely well."

The bond market, however, seems convinced an economic downturn - and cuts in the Fed's benchmark short-term interest rate - are on the way. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note eased to 4.54 percent from 4.59 percent Friday. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bill now stands at a seven-month low.

Advancing issues led decliners by more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Crude-oil futures briefly dipped below $60 a barrel on Monday, then jumped by more than $1 in a sign that the recent free-fall may be nearing an end.
Natural gas futures continued to sink amid record U.S. supplies, settling at a three-year low.

The recovery in crude oil - buying that emerged around chart support and a stronger-than-forecast U.S. housing report - were all cited as factors that enabled copper futures to recoup all of their early losses, traders and analysts said.

Gold edged higher Monday as a rise in demand for physical metal offset a slightly higher dollar.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

COURT DECISION CONFIRMING BEACONSFIELD GOLD'S
PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS TO BE APPEALED

On 8 September 2006, the Supreme Court of Victoria confirmed the Beaconsfield Gold (ASX: BCD) group's comprehensive pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV") Agreement.
Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate") yesterday announced that it will appeal the decision of Justice Hargrave.

Beaconsfield Gold's view remains that its pre-emptive rights under the Agreement are very clear and the Company will vigorously contest the appeal by Allstate.

Chief Executive Officer for Beaconsfield Gold, Mr Bill Colvin, said: "A resolution of the ownership issues at the Beaconsfield Mine would remove much uncertainty for all the stakeholders working towards getting the mine safely re-opened. I hope that Allstate's decision to appeal does not delay the necessary negotiations to achieve this."

Highlights

Magma Metals Limited ("Magma") has the rights to earn majority interests in seven nickel-copper- platinum group element (Ni-Cu-PGE) exploration projects in the East Yilgarn and East Kimberley regions of Western Australia and the Thunder Bay region of Ontario, Canada. Some of these projects are also prospective for other metals including zinc, gold and uranium.
Magma listed on the ASX on 2nd June 2006 after raising $6 million in its IPO which closed oversubscribed.
Exploration programs commenced after the year-end in early July on Magma's key prospects in Australia and Canada. The initial focus of these programs for the first quarter of 2006-2007 will be as follows:

- Mt Jewell Nickel Project, East Yilgarn, Western Australia: Diamond drilling to define potential depth extensions to the existing shallow Inferred Mineral Resource of 86,000 tonnes at 2% nickel at the GSP prospect and to test the resource potential of the Ringlock prospect.

- Thunder Bay North and Tib Lake PGE Projects, Northwest Ontario, Canada: High-resolution helicopter-borne aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys to map target zones for subsequent drilling.

- Eastman Copper-Zinc-Nickel-PGE Project, East Kimberley, Western Australia: Reverse circulation drilling at the Eastman Prospect to determine the potential for a copper-zinc resource. The zone of known mineralisation extends over a strike length of approximately 200m and includes intersections up to 12m at 3.2% copper, 5.7% zinc, 1.9% lead, 26.5g/t silver and 0.4g/t gold.

- Laura River Nickel-Copper-Zinc-Uranium- Gold Project, East Kimberley, Western Australia: Reconnaissance reverse circulation drilling to test several aeromagnetic targets interpreted to be prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation.

- Laverton Nickel Project, East Yilgarn, Western Australia: Down-hole electro-magnetic surveys along a 2km strike length of the Windarra Ultramafic Unit within Magma's Laverton ground holding. Information from these surveys and a review and re-interpretation of previous surface electro-magnetic surveys will be used to identify targets for subsequent drilling.......- Web Site

Annual Report

Highlights

Bauxite Project - 100% UKD Bauxite Project in the North Kimberley
During the year, UKD through its wholly owned subsidiary Bauxite Australia Pty Ltd has secured 28 exploration license applications covering 6,830 km2 in the North Kimberley Bauxite Province.
Increasing Company focus has been placed on the bauxite project as the intention of Woodside and Inpex to develop major gas fields in the North West of Australia has firmed. These gas projects in the Browse Basin, off the Kimberley coast from our Company’s leases have world class gas reserves and when production commences, industrial scale energy is expected to be available to this mineral rich area for the first time.
The Board of UKD recognised the inextricable link between energy and the production of alumina or aluminium from bauxite. A decision was therefore made to give priority to the bauxite project and this is now considered the main focus of the Company.
A Phase 1 reconnaissance mapping and drilling program is planned to commence in August over a target area of 120km2 of prospective potentially bauxitic duricrust plateau. This follows up on previous UKD helicopter sampling which identified medium and high grade bauxite in these areas.
Diamond Projects - Ongoing Work and New Pipe Discovery
Well focused programs continue the Company's diamond exploration at modest cost.
At Ellendale South a new lamproite pipe (named UKD 2) has been discovered by UKD. The pipe is small (approx 0.5 hectare) and was outcropping, it was discovered from using the Company’s high resolution airborne magnetic geophysics survey data acquired last year. A review of this project is currently underway.
At Phillips Range a ground gravity geophysics survey has now been completed at the Moonlight Valley prospect at Phillips Range. This gravity survey is targeting diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in a large (approx. 10km2) area that has the potential to contain a large kimberlite or cluster of kimberlites. Moonlight Valley lies just to the south of the known and diamondiferous Aries kimberlite pipe in an analogous geological setting. Initial results are encouraging and once the survey is complete a decision will be made as to the drilling of targets.......- Web Site

NEW NICKEL DISCOVERY DISCOVERY OF SAXON NICKEL DEPOSIT & HIGH GRADE ZONES AT EAST AVEBURY & SOUTH VIKING

Emerging Australian nickel producer, Allegiance Mining NL ( ASX Code AGM ) is pleased to announce the discovery of a new nickel sulphide deposit called Saxon in drillhole A161 at a location some 800 metres east of the Avebury Nickel Mine and 150 metres south of the East Avebury prospect.

SAXON DEPOSIT - NEW DISCOVERY
Diamond core drillhole A161 was targeted to initially test the East Avebury prospect and was extended further to the south where it intersected the Saxon mineralised zone at 460 metres depth down-hole, which is approximately 290 metres vertical depth. The Saxon intercept included 8 metres averaging 1.2% Ni and 4 metres averaging 1.2% Ni. These two ore grade zones occur within a broader zone comprising 19 metres averaging 0.8% Ni. David Deitz, Director said "this new discovery could allow us to have two mines in operation over the next few years".

The host rocks, structural setting and mineralisation styles are closely analogous with the Avebury deposit. Saxon is not an extension of Viking, but the similarities appear strong.

The Saxon ore system is located 150 metres south of East Avebury and may trend parallel to the Viking-East Avebury ore system. The volume of prospective serpentinite host rock requiring exploration has possibly been doubled by this discovery. The Saxon discovery has the potential to be the second mine within the Avebury Arc nickel province. Saxon may be a new ore system...... - Web Site

Fox Discovers Five New Base Metal Targets

Fox Resources Limited (ASX: FXR) today announced the discovery of five new electromagnetic (EM) conductor targets in the Whundo Base Metals complex. This is an exciting development and based on preliminary interpretation of the data, the company considers that several of these targets have excellent potential for massive sulphides.

Four of the new prospects (Figure 1) SUNCHASER, CONQUEST, BERTRAM and CARVER are located west of the operating West Whundo high grade copper mine which itself is located only 12 kilometres south of Fox’s Radio Hill Milling operation. A fifth target, ZODIAC (Figure 5), is located 5 kilometres east of the Company’s Radio Hill nickel mine and milling operation.

Initial targets were generated by a helicopter borne EM survey. Confirmation through ground EM geophysics has been used on the larger SUNCHASER, CONQUEST and BERTRAM targets...... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street's growing pessimism about the economy sent stocks down for a second straight day Friday.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Concerns about slowing economic growth in the U.S. and receding fears about this year's Atlantic hurricane season have helped to send oil prices into a downward spiral of 23 percent since the middle of July.

Copper prices rose in New York, capping a 3.9 percent gain this week, on speculation that supplies will lag behind demand because of mine disruptions and dwindling stockpiles.

The London Metal Exchange confirmed on Friday that it would launch LME mini-contracts for aluminium, copper and zinc on November 20.

Gold rose, capping its biggest weekly gain since July, as the dollar weakened against the euro and jewelers from India increased buying before the country's wedding season "Navratras".

CONSOLIDATED MINERALS

Consolidated Minerals Ltd has suspended operations at its Western Australian nickel mine after a worker was crushed to death in a rock fall.

The 43-year-old contractor was killed on Friday while working underground at the Kambalda Beta Hunt mine about midday AWST.

AngloGold Ashanti is pleased to announce that it has today agreed to enter into a 50:50 strategic alliance with the Russian gold and silver producer, OAO Inter-Regional Research and Production Association Polymetal ("Polymetal"). In terms of this agreement, AngloGold Ashanti and Polymetal will cooperate in exploration, acquisition and development of gold mining opportunities within the Russian Federation (the "Strategic Alliance").

Russia is already one of the world's leading gold producing nations with significant long term growth potential. AngloGold Ashanti therefore identified Russia as a key target for growth early in 2003 and made an investment in the AIM listed gold company Trans-Siberian Gold plc ("TSG") during 2004. AngloGold Ashanti believes that a partnership with a well established Russian gold producer provides the best platform for further development of its activities in Russia. Polymetal, as Russia's second largest gold producer has considerable, proven operating and management expertise and shares AngloGold Ashanti's ambition of expanding its operating footprint in Russia.

LAFAYETTE MINING

Rapu-Rapu Project Update

Commissioning of Rapu-Rapu Base Metals Plant On 14 September 2006, Stage 3 commissioning of the Rapu-Rapu base metals plant in the Philippines recommenced and has continued at a steady pace under the terms of the 60 day extension to a Temporary Lifting Order granted to Lafayette's operating subsidiary.

During this time, our operations team has encountered and effectively managed a range of challenges related to commissioning. None of these problems are unusual or severe for a polymetallic processing plant undergoing commissioning, and most have been partly or completely rectified, resulting in the production of copper concentrate.

Production of zinc concentrate has yet to be achieved due to the current copper-zinc grade ratio in the ore delivered to the plant. This imbalance has been addressed in the mining operation which is now delivering acceptable ore grades. Ongoing flotation testwork suggests that improved zinc recoveries, compared to budget, may be achievable.

Lafayette's Managing Director, Mr David Baker, said today: "While we have not yet achieved consistent and stable production of on-specification concentrates, we are confident this may only be a week or two away.

"We expect that nameplate ore throughput will be readily reached or exceeded. On top of this, ore inventory is in great shape and the environmental management measures put in place and operating at our mine are world class. We are finally ready to produce metal in earnest within the framework of the government's Temporary Lifting Order."

WALL STREET

Wall Street fell sharply Thursday after the Philadelphia Federal Reserve surprised investors by announcing that its broadest measure of manufacturing activity fell to a negative reading for the first time since April 2003, renewing investor fears that the economy could be cooling too quickly. The Philadelphia Fed said its index of current activity fell from 18.5 in August to negative 0.4 this month. The regional bank said indicators for general activity, new orders and shipments fell substantially from August and suggested no growth for September.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Proposed Drilling at the Mount Gunson Copper Project SA

On 19th July 2006, the Company announced that its joint venture partner, Noranda Pacific Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian major Falconbridge Limited, had engaged a drilling contractor to commence a six hole, 3000 metre diamond drilling program on the Chianti Copper Prospect at Mount Gunson in mid August, 2006.

The Queensland based drilling contractor concerned failed to mobilise its rig as agreed and has been advised that its services are no longer required. In the meantime, Xstrata plc acquired Falconbridge Limited, to create the world's fifth largest diversified metals and mining company.

Xstrata has now advised the Company that they intend to proceed with the above drilling program at Mount Gunson, which will be managed by the Xstrata Copper exploration group in north Queensland. Drilling is expected to start once aboriginal cultural heritage clearances have been confirmed and a new drilling contractor secured. - Web Site

INDEPENDENT VALUATION - SKARDON RIVER KAOLIN PROJECT

In conformity with International Accounting Standards requirements, an independent valuation has been commissioned over the Skardon River Kaolin Project. The valuation has been undertaken by Hall Chadwick Corporate (NSW) Limited who is licensed to issue independent expert reports.

The valuation as at September 2006 is $143.3 million. This valuation represents the present value of projected future cash flows of the project using a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Rate of 14%. The DCF Rate was calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, incorporating a nominal risk free interest rate of 5.8%, a market risk premium of 6%, an equity Beta factor of 2, an exchange rate of US$0.76, and an annual inflation rate of 3.5%.

The valuation recognises past project delays caused by; plant refurbishment, shipping and container availability delays, (all of which have now been overcome), and the commencement of approximately 70 active new customers covering all the major product category offerings from Skardon River.

The underlying assumptions impacting on the valuation also included a reasonability test on; ore availability; mining costs; production costs; market pricing; shipping costs; projected sales development; fixed and variable costs as well as additional capital expenditures.

A sensitivity analysis using; +/- 1% DCF Rate; +/- 1 US cent in exchange rate movement and, +/- 2% in sales prices provided a range of project values from $122 million to $156 million. The sensitivity analysis deals with each type of variation in isolation from potential variations in any of the other key assumption categories. - Web Site

Wedgetail has finalised a share placement to raise approximately $17.5 million through the issue of about 79.5 million shares at $0.22 per share.

Project funding

Wedgetail is also pleased to advise that is in advanced negotiations with a number of banks with regard to provision of a debt funding package for the Nullagine Gold Project. It is expected that the company will be in a position to mandate a bank to provide this debt funding for the project shortly.

The funds raised from the abovementioned equity placement exercise and the proposed debt funding package are to be used to fund the construction and establishment of the treatment facility and supporting infrastructure to enable the commencement of mining. The remaining funds will be used for exploration and working capital.

Outstanding Features of the Nullagine Gold Project

Ownership of an undeveloped goldfield with minimal previous modern exploration
Significant number of shallow oxide exploration targets offering potential multi million ounce targets.
Native Title exploration and mining agreements already signed for the project
Simple shallow open cut mining operations combined with conventional CIL gold recovery technology
Exploration and ore body delineation to continue during construction - with potential to add significant high margin gold production

In conjunction with the development of the Nullagine gold project, WTE plans to focus on converting a number of recent high grade discoveries made in the Golden Gate area into ore reserves.

The cost of reserve ounces delineated in this area to date is a very low $10/oz Au...... - Web Site

Dear Fellow Shareholders

The financial year ended June 30, 2006 was the most successful in the Company's history.

On the back of above forecast nickel production of 11,400 tonnes and all-time high nickel prices, we achieved a record after tax net profit of $103 million. As a result, we have maintained our generous dividend policy with a final fully franked dividend of 27 cents being declared raising the total paid to shareholders for the year to 40 cents per share, representing a payout ratio of 50%.

At June 30, 2006 our Company had cash reserves of $124.7 million with trade receivables of $83.0 million, giving a total of $207.7 million in liquid assets - our highest ever.

During the year we achieved a significant number of milestones including;

Discovery of the high-grade Tapinos deposit near Prospero and an announced initial resource of 10,000 tonnes of nickel.
Announcement of an upgraded resource for the Prospero deposit - now totalling approximately 80,000 tonnes of high-grade nickel, much of which is in the higher confidence measured category.
Discovery of the Sinclair deposit at our 100%-owned Bannockburn property, approximately 100 kms south of Cosmos.
Completion of the Alec Mairs Lower Exploration Decline and commencement of underground drilling with excellent initial high-grade nickel results.

COMMENCEMENT OF MINING AT JACK HILLS

Murchison Metals Limited is pleased to announce that it commenced mining operations at its flagship Jack Hills Project today.

Executive Chairman Paul Kopejtka said that this was a momentous occasion for Murchison Metals and the Jack Hills Project.

"I am extremely proud that the Murchison Metals Board and management team has been able to commence full-scale mining at Jack Hills less than 18 months after listing on the ASX and within two weeks of final environmental approval of our mining plans," he said.

"Our team has been able to move quickly to commence mining at Jack Hills due to the outcropping nature of the mineralisation at Jack Hills, which means that pre-stripping operations are minimised."

"We now expect to begin trucking ore to our storage facility at Geraldton next month and to complete our first shipment of iron ore to customers in North Asia within the next few months."

"The Board of Murchison Metals is extremely appreciative of the efforts of its executive team and the Company’s small number of specialist contractors who have assisted us in developing the Jack Hills Project in such a short time frame."

Mining at Jack Hills is being carried out under contract by Mining and Civil Australia.

As part of the commencement of mining operations, Murchison Metals has completed development of the Jack Hills airstrip and a 23 kilometre access road between the Jack Hills mine site and the Cue sealed road. - Web Site

WALL STREET

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady for a second straight month, part of a strategy to put the economy on an even keel. With economic growth moderating and once-surging energy prices now receding, all but one of the Fed's voting members felt comfortable holding a key interest rate at 5.25 percent.

Wall Street closed higher, holding on to its gains after the Federal Reserve kept short-term interest rates steady, as expected, but left the door open to additional rate hikes.

Advancing issues led decliners by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Weekly Drilling Report:POE-6 Exploration Well

1. POE-6 Exploration Well
As at 6.00 am this morning the POE-6 well was at a depth of 643 metres and is being drilled ahead to total depth of approximately 1,100 metres. The POE-6 well is expected to reach total depth within the next 5 days.

The POE-6 well is located 500 metres north and 35 metres structurally up dip from WB-3, a well drilled in the late 1980's that flowed oil to surface from a thin oil column over water. POE-6 will test a large area of possible reserves within a separate fault block to the west of the main Wichian Buri field. A success at this well could add significant additional reserves to the greater Wichian Buri Field.

2. Thailand Government Update
Following the apparent military-led takeover of Government, Carnarvon is monitoring the situation and confirms that, at present, drilling and production operations at Wichian Buri are unaffected. - Web Site

BORTHANNA DRILLING UPDATE

Integra Mining Limited (Integra) advises that diamond drilling at the Borthanna 'Olympic Dam' target in the Company's Oodnadatta Project in South Australia remains in-progress. Integra advised investors on the 6th September that the drill rods had broken while still in the younger cover sequence. The drillers were unable to recover the broken rods and drilling was resumed by wedging a new hole above the previously broken rod string.

Integra advises that the wedged hole has also had a rod string breakage at approximately 260 metres depth. The hole was at 310 metres drill depth at the time of the breakage. The current breakage is considered to be the result of drilling fluid circulation having created a large void in loosely consolidated fine grained sands at 260 metres depth resulting in the drill rods ‘whipping’ in the void and breaking due to torque failure.

The current plan is to drill four inch casing to 350 metres depth and to resume NQ core drilling within this casing to address the 'whipping' problem. It is expected that a suitable drill rig to complete this work will arrive on site within two weeks.

Integra is currently preparing an Investor Update for distribution to existing shareholders to describe the Company's forward programmes and strategy with particular reference to the Aldiss-Randalls Gold Project. The update is expected to be available near the end of next week. - Web Site

INTREPID MINES

INTREPID ACQUIRES GOLD PROJECT IN CASPOSO DISTRICT, ARGENTINA

Pntrepid Mines Limited (TSX:IAU, IXN & ASX:IAU) reports the acquisition of the Cristina property in the Calingasta Valley, San Juan Province, Argentina. The property is located approximately 30 km southeast of the Casposo project within the Cordillera Frontal. The property has been acquired under a four year option agreement with staged payments totaling US$205,000 and work commitments of US$1,000,000. The property has been acquired as part of Intrepid’s regional exploration initiative which is focused on identification of future resources within trucking distance of the Kamila mine, currently at the feasibility stage.

Mineralization identified by Intrepid geologists on the Cristina property is related to a series of north, to northeasterly trending veins and structures which are related to a regional scale north-trending deformation zone. The veins consist of quartz, quartz-calcite or quartz-dolomite exhibiting breccia textures and late silica flooding indicative of multiple stage mineralizing events. High grade gold mineralization is in many cases related to poly-metallic sulphides (pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite) with a close geochemical association with lead (in the form of galena). Intrepid staff has observed visible gold crushed and panned on site from one of the veins exposed on the property.......- Web Site

CAMDEN GAS PROJECT DRILLING PROGRAM UPDATE

Sydney Gas Ltd is pleased to advise that the last deviated well, Glenlee 16 ("GL16"), of the current 4 well program, has reached TD on 15 September, and is awaiting fracture stimulation in late October. GL16 was drilled directionally from the GL07 well site within Stage II of the Camden Gas project, to fast track production from an area which is presently isolated due to land access.

The surface hole of GL16 was spudded on the 16 June by Rig 15, in preparation for the larger horse-powered Rig 16, which was required to drill the directional section of the well from 8 September onwards.

GL16 has intersected the Upper Permian Illawarra Coal Measures at a vertical depth of approximately 775m, and at a horizontal displacement of approximately 420m.

Once fracture simulated and dewatered, GL16 will be tied into the gas gathering system to produce gas to the Rosalind Park Gas Plant. - Web Site

NEW GUINEA GOLD / MACMIN SILVER

SHAREHOLDER UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2006

Vancouver - 19^th September 2006. New Guinea Gold (NGG) provides the following update on its exploration and development activities in Papua New Guinea.

SINIVIT MINE DEVELOPMENT

The development of the Sinivit Gold Project experienced further delays due to unseasonable weather. In late August, over a two day period, 350mm (14 inches) of rain fell, followed by several days when 50mm (2 inches) was recorded each day. This weather set the schedule back about three weeks. On the 13^th September a further 320mm (12.8 inches) of rain fell with 150mm (6 inches) on the 14th September. This latter rainfall has not resulted in any substantial delays, due to substantial upgrading of all site roads over the past few weeks. Total rainfall for the past year has been more than 200% of average annual rainfall and has been the main reason for delay in project completion.

Other stalls in development have been caused by late delivery of equipment due to shipping delays, a consequence of the general pressure on suppliers of mining equipment. For example, the screening plant from Ireland was off-loaded in the Solomon Islands (it is now on site), the scheduled shipping of the crushing plant to site has now been twice delayed and, in another instance, our cargo was left at the wharf in Brisbane, Australia.

Construction capital expenditure is 90% expended and total capital cost to date is approximately C$6.5 million. Delays and increases in costs will add approximately C$1 million to the original capital estimate.

With all equipment at Sinivit by mid October, with the mining contractor now fully operational and all on-site roads fully operational, we do not expect further significant delays to the revised schedule below.

The development schedule at present is as follows:

Mine infrastructure, camp etc - essentially complete.
Access road - complete
Mine roads, including haul roads - essentially complete
Maintenance facility - complete
Screening plant, gold recovery circuit, laboratory - all on site with erection completed by end of October 2006.
Contractor - all equipment on site and now assisting in completion of site works, roads, vats etc.
Crushing plant expected to be on site by mid October 2006, in place and commissioning to occur during November 2006.
Pre-stripping of the mine will commence in late September 2006 and waste will initially be used in vat walls
The first two vats should be completed and lined by the end of November
Mining and crushing of ore will commence in December 2006 with gold production in January 2006.

EXPLORATION

Most of NGG's projects already have significant defined mineralisation in drill hole and/or trench. For details refer to project descriptions at www.newguineagold.ca . The Company's main objective is to increase its resource base as rapidly as possible. At present, three diamond core rigs are being used for resource definition at the Imwauna (100% NGG) and Mt Penck (60% NGG) Projects. Imwauna is within the Normanby Property. NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates are targeted for both projects for completion in late 2006 or early 2007.

Independent Qualified Person, Ralph Stagg, visited the Normanby, Sehulea and Mt Penck properties in preparation for compilation of Independent Technical reports on those properties.

NGG has acquired two further drills which will commence operating at its Sinivit property in early October, 2006, with the objective of increasing the present defined resources.

Excellent drill results are being received from both Imwauna and Mt Penck.

Imwauna (Normanby Property - 100% NGG)

Resource definition drilling has continued using a single diamond core drill rig. Subject to available finance it is intended to acquire a further drill rig for the project later this year or early 2007. Excellent drill assays have been received since the last update and were released in a Press Release dated 13th September 2006. In particular two further holes were drilled into the high grade zone noted in the last update. Previous intersections into this zone gave best results of 6m at 68g/t gold including 3m at 106g/t gold and 6.45m at 20.9g/t gold (see Press Release dated 26th July 2006) In the latest Press release the highest gold value so far intersected in core at Imwauna, 438g/t gold, was noted with the best intersections summarized below. All results are available in the Press Release of 13th September 2006.

Hole No	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Gold (g/t)	Silver (g/t)
IMH 075	56.9	57.7	0.8	52.1	100
IMH 076	56.2	57.1	0.9	20.5	50
IMH 081 including	80.8	86.4	5.6 0.4	36.2 438.0	45 485
IMH 084	106.2	108.5	2.3	10.6	30

NB: Interval is length downhole and not a true thickness. True thickness is unknown.

The Imwauna Vein system has been defined at surface over a length of 1.2 kms by excavator trenching (see web site www.newguineagold.ca for excavator trench results). Approximately 110 drill holes have now been completed over approximately 850m of the 1.2 km system. The vein system with significant gold grades is now known to extend over a vertical interval of at least 200m. In the southern end of the system the highest grades and greatest widths are occurring at depths of greater than 50m. An additional drill is required to extend our knowledge of the system to greater depths.

The individual veins within the Imwauna Vein System are not planar or linear over long distances. They vary in dip from as low as 50 degrees west to 65 degrees east. In addition veins may bifurcate into two or more veins, substantially vary in thickness and attitude over intervals of less than five metres thus making estimation of true thickness of any intersection uncertain. All data is being compiled into a Surpac model to more accurately assess continuity, attitude and thickness of individual veins.

Mt Penck Project (60% NGG)

Drilling has proceeded rapidly at the Kavola East Prospect at Mt Penck with 24 holes now completed and results available for 19 holes (including one historic hole).

The drilling is defining widespread and multiple zones of lower grade disseminated type gold mineralisation with mineralisation commencing at surface and traced to a depth of approximately 130m at present.

Two drill rigs are operating, but in October one rig will be mobilised to drill at the Simuku and Mt Nakru properties and the remaining rig will continue drilling at Mt Penck for the remainder of 2006. A total of 18 drill holes since mid 2005 have now been reported and all drill holes intersected several zones of mineralisation at greater than 0.5g/t (see the better intervals shown below, and refer to Press Release dated 6th September 2006 for all results).

There appear to be both vertical and horizontal controls to the mineralisation and the true thickness of any intersection is not known.

SHALLOW HIGH GRADE DRILL SUCCESS EXTENDS AYSHIA ZINC DEPOSIT

Fox Resources Limited ("Fox") (ASX code: FXR) is pleased to announce exploration success from its new Ayshia Zinc Deposit. Diamond drill hole AYRCD089 has intersected 9.1m @ 6.2% zinc, 1.4% copper from 152m down hole depth confirming mineralisation is open and extends to the north west.

Ayshia is an exciting new zinc deposit located just 12 kilometres from the Company’s Radio Hill treatment plant in the Pilbara, Western Australia. It is a key deposit in Fox’s emerging new Whundo Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Copper-Zinc Project area.

Commercialisation of the deposit, which is now on track to reach the initial target resource figure of 40,000 tonnes of zinc metal (as announced 8 August 2006), would add valuable high grade feedstock to the newly upgraded Radio Hill treatment plant which has the ability to process zinc. The plant is currently processing high grade copper from Fox's nearby West Whundo mine.

Significant drill intercepts from the latest drilling results include (Figures 1&2):

9.1m @ 6.2% zinc, 1.04% copper and 5g/t silver 152m down hole depth, AYRCD089
including 6.1m @ 7.9% zinc and 1.4% copper and 8 g/t silver

WALL STREET

Stocks dropped suddenly Tuesday after Thailand's military launched a coup against the country's prime minister. While the major indexes recovered most of their losses in late afternoon, all closed lower.

The news hit the market on a day stocks had been drifting lower following a sharp drop in the pace of U.S. housing starts in August. Housing starts fell 6 percent, twice as fast as expected. The day's housing data overshadowed the Labor Department's report that core inflation, which excludes food and energy, fell for the second straight month.

News that hedge fund Amaranth Advisors lost $5 billion last week on natural gas trades, halving its assets under management from $9 billion to $4.5 billion, sobered traders, some of whom have been watching the large - and largely unregulated - hedge fund business for an implosion that could have market-wide repercussions.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by roughly 9 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil prices sank by more than $2 a barrel Tuesday to settle near a six-month low as worries about supply threats eased and signs of economic weakness in the U.S. signaled a potential cooling of energy demand.

Copper prices fell back on the day when the government reported a larger-than-forecast decline in U.S. housing starts.

Gold futures declined Tuesday to return almost all of the previous session's nearly $10-an-ounce gain as traders grappled with concerns over weak jewelry demand in the first half of the year and a hefty drop in oil prices.

ARAFURA RESOURCES

Annual Report

Dear Shareholder,

I write to you in the midst of a resource boom of unprecedented size and duration driven by a rapidly growing Chinese economy. This has led to much speculation about the nature and sustainability of this boom. The market is calling this a resource super economic cycle that is supposed to have sufficient momentum that makes it vastly different to all previous. This resource cycle is underpinned by significant and sustained Asian economic development. This means that predictions are being made of its continuation well into the future.

There are some important economic implications to Arafura’s future if China’s economic growth rates are sustained at the current level. Firstly, noxious emissions have to be and will be reduced to abate global warming, initially in the developed countries and subsequently, globally. Secondly, global energy demand will continue to grow in the foreseeable future, even with lower growth rates in countries such as China and India. Thus, demand is going to exceed the supply of cheap hydrocarbon fuels. The development of alternative energy sources will be unavoidable.

Companies such as Arafura that address these basic structural problems of the world economy will be the most likely to benefit in the long-term from the boom and its aftermath.

Our major project at Nolans Bore has made substantial progress towards the development of a major rare earth elements (REE)/phosphate mine with successful resource evaluation and positive metallurgical testing programmes. We have substantially improved our uranium programmes with new properties and concepts, and a dedicated, experienced exploration team........ - Web Site

2006 Annual Report

Chairman's Report

Dear Shareholder,
I am delighted to be able to deliver this report only about six months away from commissioning our Goondicum Industrial Minerals Project.

After a long gestation period, the project is now under construction. Site works began in earnest in August 2006 following a successful fund raising on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in London in May of 2006. Prior to that, the Company had entered into an agreement with international mining venture capital firm The Sentient Group (Sentient). Sentients participation in the Company as a shareholder was the catalyst for a successful outcome in London.

Completing the fund raising took longer than expected but we now have a strengthened project.

The GBP 16,764,000 (A$40 million) raised during the AIM Admission in London enabled the project to proceed, and we can expect that over the long term the exposure of an AIM listing will benefit shareholders through the opportunity for greater international recognition of the value of our multi-product industrial minerals operation.

At a time when construction and production costs, particularly in the resources industry, have been increasing rapidly, we have successfully contained construction costs for the Goondicum Industrial Minerals Project by negotiating a fixed price contract.

At the same time as the Company has focussed in the past year on funding for plant and infrastructure, we have just as importantly continued product and market development efforts, pressing forward with the development of additional products to capitalise fully on the uniqueness of Goondicum as a multi-product project........- Web Site

Strong Drilling Results at Chloe and Kaiser Bill Highlights

A three hole drill programme at the Chloe zinc / lead prospect near Einasleigh in north Queensland, extended the deposit at depth and to the east. Best results were:
- 8 metres @ 6.8% zinc, 2.3% lead & 36g/t silver from 101m in hole CH010
- 6 metres @ 4.1% zinc, 3.0% lead & 94g/t silver from 140m in hole CH011.
  
  A much larger 2400 metre drill programme is due to start at Chloe later in September. The objective of this additional work is to delineate a shallow (<100m deep) resource and explore for deeper extensions.
At Kaiser Bill located 7 kilometres west of Einasleigh, a 31 hole infill drill programme designed to increase the confidence of the current Inferred Resource, and to assist with calculating an Indicated Resource, had the following best intersections:
- 21 metres @ 0.95% copper, 0.06g/t gold & 2.7g/t silver from 24m in hole KBRC049
- 31 metres @ 1.11% copper, 0.13g/t gold & 3.6g/t silver from 27m in hole KBRC051
- 14 metres @ 1.14% copper, 0.16g/t gold & 3.0g/t silver from 58m in hole KBRC053
- 17 metres @ 1.00% copper, 0.03g/t gold & 28g/t silver from 27m in hole KBRC054
- 17 metres @ 0.97% copper, 0.06g/t gold & 8.2g/t silver from 66m in hole KBRC067
- 13 metres @ 1.21% copper, 0.15g/t gold & 5.7g/t silver from 34m in hole KBRC070.
A drill programme is currently in progress at the Einasleigh Copper Mine prospect to extend the resource to the north. A revised resource estimate has been carried out at Einasleigh in accordance with the Australasian Code for reporting Identified Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. The Mineral Resources estimated by Golder Associates at a 1% Cu cut-off grade, quoted to the appropriate level of precision, are:
Indicated Mineral Resource: 485,000t @ 4.0% copper, 0.22g/t gold & 18g/t silver &
Inferred Mineral Resource: 340,000t @ 1.7% copper, 0.09g/t gold & 8g/t silver.
A helicopter-borne electromagnetic survey in September will cover key areas of the Einasleigh tenement with the objective of identifying new base metal targets.
The Feasibility Study on the Einasleigh Project is proceeding well and is due for completion later in 2006. - Web Site

MAGMA METALS

POTENTIAL SOURCE OF PLATINUM-PALLADIUM MINERALISED GLACIAL BOULDERS IDENTIFIED AT THE THUNDER BAY NORTH PROJECT IN CANADA

Magma Metals (Canada) Limited (Magma Canada), a 100% owned subsidiary of Magma Metals Limited, completed a helicopter-borne aeromagnetic and radiometric survey of its Thunder Bay Project in northwest Ontario (Figure 1) in July. Digital data from this survey have just been received. The survey was designed to detect magnetic anomalies which could reflect a potential source intrusion for the PGE- mineralised boulders found on the shores of Current Lake (Figure 2). The glacial ice transport direction is from the northeast and some of these boulders have likely been moved from the northeast by the ice sheet. Their large size and angular morphology suggest a proximal source.

The boulders are composed of the ultramafic rock serpentinite and contain up to 5% disseminated sulphides and abundant magnetite; the source intrusion should therefore generate a prominent magnetic anomaly.

As previously reported in the Company’s Prospectus dated 3rd April 2006 and its Quarterly Report for the period ended 30 June 2006, assays for the West Shore Boulders range up to 1.0% Cu, 0.3% Ni & 9.5g/t Pt+Pd+Au, and assays for the East Shore Boulders range up to 0.7% Cu, 0.2% Ni & 5.5g/t Pt+Pd+Au.

The aeromagnetic survey mapped an intense linear magnetic anomaly, approximately 1.5km long and up to 200m wide, broadly coincident with the central and eastern parts of Current Lake....... - Web Site

Stocks gave up a moderate early advance to close barely changed Monday after oil prices rebounded from their recent decline. Investors also moved to the sidelines to wait for Wednesday's Federal Reserve meeting on interest rate policy.

Declining issues led advancers by 4 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil prices rose Monday after BP PLC said output from a massive Gulf of Mexico platform damaged by last year's Hurricane Dennis would not be restored until mid-2008, at the earliest.

Copper futures bounced from technical support, along with increases in gold and silver and most other commodities on Monday, traders and analysts reported. Speculative buying was cited.

ADAMUS RESOURCES

Annual Report For The Year Ended 30 June 2006

Managing Director's Review

On behalf of the Directors of Adamus I am pleased to present to shareholders the Company’s 2006 Annual Report.

The past year has seen Adamus emerge as a very successful gold explorer, with the Southern Ashanti Gold Project now exceeding 1.5 million ounces in resources and clearly demonstrating its potential to deliver a highly profitable mining operation. The success achieved by the Company is a result of technically driven and cost effective exploration, targeting a highly strategic tenement package, hosted within the world class Ashanti Gold Belt.

The Company's continued success and commitment to the project has progressed to the commencement of a full feasibility study into the development the Southern Ashanti Gold Project. This decision is a direct result of Adamus achieving a number of significant milestones over the past 12 months:

The discovery of significant extensions to mineralization at both the Salman and Anwia Deposits, leading to a 30% upgrade in the Southern Ashanti Gold Project resources to 22Mt @ 2.1g/t for 1,500,000 oz gold.

The completion of an independent resource optimization and scoping study, which delivered a preliminary estimate of project net cash flow of $166 million (pre tax, post capex), based on a 6.2 year mine life and US$600 gold price.

The successful raising of in excess A$15.5 million via private placements, funding both the feasibility study and the acceleration of the Company's exploration activities.

The strategic acquisition of the neighbouring Anwia South Project, where historical RC drilling intersected 6m @ 148g/t and 5m @ 71g/t gold, clearly demonstrating the potential for Anwia South to host significant, high grade mineralization.

The discovery of high grade, reef style mineralization within the Salman Trend, including near surface intersections at the Akanko Prospect of 7m @ 11.2g/t gold.

Over the past year Adamus has been highly successful at defining additional near surface resource ounces. The vast majority of the Company's current resource base is still located within 100m of surface........ - Web Site

GIPPSLAND LIMITED

ABU DABBAB FEASIBILITY STUDY UPDATE

Gippsland Limited (ASX & AIM: GIP) advises that the Abu Dabbab feasibility study completed by Lycopodium Engineering Ltd during November 2004 is presently being updated to reflect currentday costs.

The project cost estimate as of November, 2005, based on the Feasibility Study, was approximately US$90 million, including capital costs (2Mtpa processing plant, mining fleet, haul roads, power plant, and general infrastructure) and financing costs during the construction period. The Directors are pleased to report that Lycopodium's work to date indicates that these project costs are likely to increase by less than 10% over the November 2005 estimate.

The feasibility study update will include the benefit of improved recoveries derived from the testwork and process flowsheet optimisation that have been on-going since the completion of the original study. The update will also incorporate certain process flow-sheet features as suggested by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) which has been granted a mandate to arrange Abu Dabbab project finance.

The 40 million tonne Egyptian Abu Dabbab project is scheduled to produce in excess of 650,000 pounds of tantalum concentrate per year. Gippsland has entered into a 5-year off-take agreement with a major tantalum concentrate processor for the majority of this tantalum. The tantalum customer has indicated a willingness to consider increasing the tantalum off-take price to take into account the capital and operating expense increases that have occurred since the 2004 feasibility study was completed.

The Directors advise that Abu Dabbab feasibility study update is well advanced and expected to be completed and presented to the IFC prior to 31 October 2006. - Web Site

Sale of West Virginian Project

Norwest Energy wishes to advise that an agreement has been signed for the sale of its West Virginia shale gas project. The agreement is with Ascent Resources WV Inc, the Operator for the project, and Norwest's US partner in West Virginia.

The sale will see a complete withdrawal by Norwest from West Virginia. The project has some 46,000 acres under lease and five wells drilled. The sales price is at a significant premium to the cost of acquiring leases and will see sunk well costs recovered.

Norwest CEO, Joe Salomon commented development of the fractured shale play has been limited by the availability of equipment in the area, and results to date have been mixed. Our joint venture partner is interested in further exploring this area and made an attractive offer for our interest.

The sale is subject to a final Purchase and Sales Agreement with closing set for early November.

Norwest's is assessing its gas projects in Kentucky and Tennessee where new parties have expressed interest.

Norwest's interests in the US are held in a wholly owned subsidiary, NWE Appalachians LLC. Partnership interests in West Virginia prior to sale are:

Norwest 29%
Alto Energy 29%

Copper Hill Drilling Update

Further Drill Intersection at Copper Hill North The reverse circulation ("RC") portion of hole GCHR205, drilled 50m north of hole 190 at Copper Hill North, has extended the known zone of copper-gold mineralisation to the north, returning similar copper-gold results to those intersected in the RC portion of hole 190, reported to ASX on 15 August 2006.

The 200m RC portion of hole 205 intersected 184 m at 0.43% copper and 0.15 g/t gold, for 1.14 g/t gold equivalent, from 16m.

By comparison, the 200m RC portion of hole 190, located 50m to the south, intersected 188m at 0.40% copper and 0.17 g/t gold, for 1.09 g/t gold equivalent, from 12m. The extension of hole 190 by diamond drilling to 516.7m depth returned an overall result of 500m at 0.33% copper and 0.17 g/t gold, for 0.93 g/t gold equivalent. This is the longest mineralised interval drilled to date at Copper Hill.

Further drilling is now planned at Copper Hill North; a scissor hole is being considered from the eastern side to better define the extent of mineralisation on the same cross section as Hole 190..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Investors sent stocks up to near their 2006 highs (Dow Jones industrial average 162 points away from its all-time closing high) Friday after benign inflation data and low oil prices boosted confidence that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting next week.

Ford Motor Co. said it will slash its work force by about a third, or 14,000 positions, and cut operational costs by $5 billion through 2008.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where preliminary consolidated volume surged to 3.27 billion from 2.4 billion at the same point on Thursday. Volume was made heavier Friday by the quarterly expiration of options as well as a rebalancing of stocks that make up the S&P 500 index.

Oil prices edged higher Friday but finished lower for the week after OPEC lowered its oil-demand forecast for the rest of the year.

Nymex natural gas futures, which plunged 10 percent Thursday to a two-year low after government data revealed surging inventories, rebounded slightly.

A four-year rally that drove prices of crude oil, natural-gas, copper, nickel and other metals to record levels and gold and silver to quarter-century highs has reversed with steep declines in the past few weeks.

Nickel plunged the most in 13 months, leading a decline in base metals, on speculation that slower economic growth will hurt demand for raw materials in the U.S. and China.

The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index offered a broad view of the overall performance in commodities, touching an all-time high of 365.45 points in May 2006, only to trade at an over one-year low below 305 on Friday.

Gold and silver futures closed lower Friday, logging sizable losses for the week as the U.S. dollar rose to a seven-week high against the euro and traders worried that slack demand for jewelry could hurt prices.

MACMIN SILVER / NEW GUINEA GOLD

Macmin Silver Ltd attaches the following release by associated company, New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG), in which it holds an 18% equity interest.

These recent drill intercepts of high grade gold mineralisation in the Imwauna Project on Normanby Island continue to build on very good results achieved in drilling earlier in 2006 and are expected to help provide a substantial resource base.

It should be noted that Macmin is to receive a 1% Net Smelter Return on all production by NGG and if NGG produces in excess of 50,000 ounces of gold in any year, Macmin will receive a "one-off" issue of shares in NGG equivalent to 9% of issued equity of NGG at the time.

ANTARES ENERGY REPORTS NET PROFIT AFTER TAX OF $5.5 MILLION FOR THE YEAR TO 30 JUNE 2006

Key Points for the year to 30 June 2006:

Net profit after tax of $5.5 million compared to a profit of $0.6 million ($1.2 million under AGAAP) in the previous year;
A year of portfolio and acreage building with the acquisition of the following US projects:
- Shaeffer Ranch
- Kenedy Ranch
- Oyster Creek
- New Taiton
- Yellow Rose (executed subsequent to year end)
Sale of Turkish subsidiary - the proceeds of which will be used to fund the US exploration
Deep well drilled in Kenedy Ranch with positive results for further wells.

Mr. Howard McLaughlin, Managing Director of Antares said:

"Over the past 12 months Antares has significantly grown its acreage portfolio and prospect inventory. This activity is core to our three year plan initiated in November 2004 to grow the company by changing our focus from Turkey to the United States.

We have built up our office in Dallas with additional highly skilled professionals and reduced costs in our corporate office in Perth. The sale of our Turkish assets was concluded during October 2005 and since then we have applied the funds to grow our Texas opportunity portfolio through the acquisition of Shaeffer Ranch, Yellow Rose and Oyster Creek, with more in the pipeline to be announced in due course.

We successfully acquired an 85 square mile seismic survey on Shaeffer Ranch and participated in an 18,200 ft exploratory well test in Kenedy County. Our acreage in Ellis County Oklahoma is being transformed into an oil producing asset with the drilling of two wells and re-completion of Ellis-2.

Looking forward we expect to be participating in a number of key wells over the next several months, including Harrison-1, New Taiton, a Shaeffer Ranch well, and additional oil wells in Oklahoma.

We also anticipate drilling additional wells in Kenedy County to follow up on the gas zones seen in the KMF 228-1 well.

This coming year will be very exciting for Antares Energy as we test our prospect inventory by drilling a number of our high impact prospects.".... - Web Site

Drillsearch Energy Limited ("Drillsearch") is pleased to announce the continued success of the Tintaburra drilling campaign.

Rig PDI-724 spudded Endeavour 18 on 5 September 2006, good oil shows were encountered while drilling and evaluation of wire line logs indicated approximately 9 m of net oil pay in the mid Birkhead zone. This well has been cased and suspended as a future oil production well. The rig was released to the Endeavour 14 location and is currently preparing to spud.

Rig PDI-735 spudded Talgeberry 16 on 3 September 2006. Talgeberry 16 encountered oil shows in the Murta Formation; however no shows were encountered in the Birkhead Formation. Subsequent evaluation revealed the Murta Formation to be tight and non-productive and the Birkhead Formation to be water wet. The well was plugged and abandoned.

Rig PDI-735 was then released to the Mulberry 25 development well, which spudded on 10 September 2006. Current operations at Mulberry 25 are drilling ahead in 7 7/8" hole..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street closed mixed Thursday, with blue chips falling whilst technology stocks managed a slight gain. Lower oil prices that have helped drive stock rallies in recent days remained a bright spot, but another drop in crude Thursday wasn't enough to offset investor concerns about inflation ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Investors grew uneasy Thursday after the Labor Department reported import prices rose a larger than expected 0.8 percent in August.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil prices dropped to their lowest levels in almost six months due to easing supply concerns and news that Nigeria's two oil unions had suspended a strike a day after it was launched.

Natural gas futures for October fell to their lowest level in two years after the Energy Department released figures showing stores of natural gas were much larger than expected.

Metals were generally easier in London on speculation slower economic growth in the U.S. and China may reduce demand for the metal.

Gold in New York fell to the lowest since June after a rally above $600 failed to attract new buyers. Losses accelerated after gold fell below the 200-day moving average, a signal to traders who look at historical charts that prices are poised to fall.

GOLDEN CROSS

Farm-in to Cullerin Property

Golden Cross has entered into an agreement with Tri Origin Minerals Ltd ("TRO") for a farm-in to Golden Cross' 100%-owned Cullerin property, EL 6292, previously known as Breadalbane.

TRO may earn a 51% interest in EL 6292, consisting of 26 units for approximately 70 sq km, by spending $200,000 on exploration by 13 September 2010. TRO must spend $50,000 on exploration by 13 September 2007 before it may withdraw from the agreement.

The Cullerin property, located 35 km north-northwest of TRO's 100%-owned Woodlawn property in NSW, and 25 km west of Goulburn, is prospective for base metals, gold and silver.

The property has demonstrated potential for VMS-type deposits, intrusive-related porphyry deposits and associated skarns. Drilling by previous explorers identified several high priority prospects where TRO intends to carry out follow-up drilling to verify many reported, potentially ore-grade, intercepts. Numerous other targets also require follow-up....

Mineral exports over $90 billion for 2005-06 - a new record

Export earnings from Australia's minerals and energy sector increased by 32 per cent to a record $90.5 billion in 2005-06, the latest issue of Australian Mineral Statistics reveals.

The findings are contained in Australian Mineral Statistics (June quarter), released today by Dr Brian Fisher, Executive Director of ABARE.

"This stronger performance mainly reflected higher export prices for about 85 per cent of the minerals and energy commodities exported, along with increased export volumes for just over half of the commodities," Dr Fisher explained.

"Commodities that recorded the largest increases in export earnings in 2005-06 were: coking coal, up $6,318 million (59 per cent) to $17,076 million; iron ore and pellets, up $4,391 million (54 per cent) to $12,511 million; and copper, up $2,444 million (79 per cent) to $5,226 million," Dr Fisher said.

The index of export prices of Australian minerals resources (export unit returns) rose a further 32 per cent in 2005-06 compared with 2004-05. Prices for energy minerals rose by 36 per cent while metals and related minerals prices rose by 29 per cent.

"The increase in the index in 2005-06 mainly reflects substantial increases in world prices for most major minerals and energy commodities," Dr Fisher said.

ABARE's most recent short term (to 2006-07) forecasts of production, exports and prices for the full range of Australia's key mineral resource commodities, will be published in the September issue of ABARE's quarterly journal, Australian Commodities, to be released electronically on 25 September 2006.

Comment:

Export volumes for many commodities fell last year - due in part to skills shortages and infrastructure bottlenecks.

Australia is the world's largest supplier of zinc, but exports fell 6 per cent to 1.3 million tonnes last year, while nickel exports were down 10.2 per cent to 193,000 tonnes. Lead exports dropped 3.3 per cent to 756,000 tonnes. Australia's gold production has been trending lower for some time, and dipped 5.2 per cent last year, while maintenance problems at Olympic Dam meant that uranium exports dropped 8.8 per cent.

Oil exports are also in a long-term decline, and dropped 14.6 per cent last year. However LNG exports rose 12.3 per cent to 11.9 million tonnes.

Coking coal exports eased 3.5 per cent.

Total export volumes of iron ore rose 4.7 per cent last year.

MALACHITE RESOURCES

Media Release: Malachite goes into Copper

Malachite Resources NL has acquired an option to purchase a 100% interest in the Mt Lidster Copper-Gold Project, located about half way between Mt Isa and Cloncurry in northwest Queensland.

Mt Lidster is readily accessible from Mt Isa or Cloncurry and is located just a short distance north of the Barkly Highway, in northwest Queensland. It is also only a few kilometres northwest of the old Mary Kathleen uranium mine. There is an historical link to Mary Kathleen as well, as an associate of the current tenement holder is the grandson of Clem Walton, who, with Norm McConachy, discovered the uranium deposit in 1954.

The Mt Lidster prospect comprises a structure mineralised with copper and gold over about 650m along strike. The structure outcrops well and displays abundant gossan and gossanous quartz, much of it with prominent malachite. Small quantities of oxide copper ore have been mined in the past for sale in Mt Isa.

The results of an initial drilling program being conducted by Malachite should be available around the end of this month....... - Web Site

MACMIN SILVER

TALLY HO PROJECT PURCHASED - VENDORS OPT FOR MACMIN SHARES

Encouraged by initial drilling results, the Company has moved to exercise its option over the Tally Ho project near Mackay. The Company announced that it had secured an option to purchase the project on 9^th May 2006.

The vendors had the right to receive cash or equivalent shares for the $300,000 purchase consideration. The Company is pleased to advise that the vendors opted to receive shares and 937,500 fully paid ordinary shares have been issued today to complete the transaction.

The Tally Ho silver project is located approximately 50 km south west of Mackay in Central Coastal Queensland and consists of 2 granted Mining Leases (ML's 4770 and 4727), a surrounding Mineral Development Licence Application (MDL272) and a 24 sub-block (78sq.km) Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM15168).

Macmin's initial test drilling of the Tally Ho workings has given, as recently reported, a best downhole intercept of 20m at 292g/t silver, 1.74% zinc and 0.25% copper or 502g/t silver equivalent.

In addition, Macmin has applied for 2 further exploration areas for silver in the Mackay region. The Pisgah tenement comprising 23 sub-blocks (69km²) covers the northern part of the Tally Ho Intrusive Complex (THIC). In light of our assessment of the initial findings at Tally Ho, we believe the THIC has significant potential to host Intrusion Related Mineralising Systems (silver, gold, zinc, lead, copper).

A second area comprising 86 sub-blocks (258km²) - Mt Scott - is situated 75km south of Mackay and covers the Mt Scott Granite. This area has been the subject of previous exploration with stream geochemistry and prospecting, which located a number of prospects. At the Mt Scott South prospect, a 1.2km² sulphide system containing up to 5% pyrite occurs in a series of quartz stringer and quartz vein zones approximately 100m in aggregate width and a strike length of 500m. These veins occur near a breccia body (100m long by 80m wide) with porphrytic granite clasts within a sulphide matrix.

Once these tenements are granted, an intensive programme of exploration will be undertaken to evaluate their potential to host Tally Ho style mineralisation.

Several other high grade intervals were intersected such as 0.5m at 82.9g/t gold and 146g/t silver, 0.9m at 20.5g/t gold and 19.4g/t silver, 0.25m at 47.6g/t gold and 41g/t silver and 1.75m at 16.7g/t gold and 15.2g/t silver. All results above 0.5g/t gold cut off and drill hole location data are shown on the attached tables.

The Imwauna project is located within the Normanby Property, SE Papua New Guinea. The Company owns 100% of this property.

Bob McNeil CEO of New Guinea Gold stated "the Imwauna drilling continues to yield high and in some cases exceptional gold intersections. The Imwauna project contains defined gold mineralisation scattered over approximately 10 sq kilometers. The project has some key geological similarities to Placer Dome's former Misima Mine (plus 4M ozs gold), and was selected by management for a major evaluation program in 2006 to extend the known mineralisation and to build a substantial resource base. A NI 43-101 resource is expected to be released late in 2006 or early 2007........

Rapu Rapu obtains extension of 60 days of TLO trial period

On 11 September 2006, Lafayette Mining Limited (Lafayette) announced that plant operations at its Rapu Rapu polymetallic project in the Republic of the Philippines were suspended to ensure strict compliance with the Temporary Lifting Order (TLO) previously granted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

In response to our application, the Pollution Adjudication Board has granted a 60 day extension (effective 9 September 2006) of the trial period under the TLO to obtain more data on the performance of the environmental management systems at site during full 'steady state' commercial operations, providing a robust case for the granting of a Permanent Lifting Order.

The project team will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure full compliance with the requirements of the extension of Stage 3 of the TLO.

Lafayette is very pleased to be able to announce that we are authorised to recommence commissioning. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks rallied for a second session Wednesday, pushing to four-month highs even as oil prices showed a slight rebound after seven days of losses.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Gold in New York rebounded from a 10- week low as some investors thought the 8% drop in prices in the past five sessions was overdone.

Gold's gains may be limited on speculation central banks in Europe may sell the metal before a Sept. 26 deadline. Under the Central Bank Gold Agreement, banks in Europe agreed to sell no more than 500 tons a year. They haven't reached their target yet. The European Central Bank said yesterday two member banks that weren't identified sold gold worth 114 million euros ($144 million) last week.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

FINANCIAL RESULTS - 30 JUNE 2006

Beaconsfield Gold announces full year results significantly impacted by the tragic Anzac Day rockfall at the Beaconsfield Mine.

Net loss of $14.3 million including $11.4 million non-operating expenses related to suspension of mining
Beaconsfield Mine produces 81,983 ounces of gold (down 35%)
Gold sales revenue of $24.2 million
Total effective cash of $9.6 million at 30 June 2006

Beaconsfield Gold NL (ASX: BCD or the "Company") today announced earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) from ordinary activities of $3.1 million for the year ended 30 June, 2006 (2005: $15.7 million), following a year dominated by the impact of the tragic rockfall at the Beaconsfield Mine on 25 April (Anzac Day).

The total net loss for the year of $14.3 million (2005 profit $7.8 million) included $11.4 million of non-operating costs related to, or incurred as a direct result of, the April rockfall and suspension of mining activities. These costs are broken down as follows:

		$ million
Mine care and maintenance		1.1
Expenditure directly related to incident		0.8
Employee redundancy and work cover premiums		1.0
Close out of gold hedge contracts and fair value of ineffective gold hedge contracts		8.5
TOTAL		11.4

Depreciation and amortisation charges and Company exploration costs written off totalled $5.1 million for the year.

Cash on hand at the end of the year was $8.1 million following the successful $5.5 million share placement on 30 June to sophisticated and professional investors. A further $1.5 million was held by Allstate, as Manager of the BMJV, on behalf of the Company.

The Beaconsfield mine produced 81,983 ounces of gold during the year, 35% less than in the previous year. BCD Chief Executive Officer Bill Colvin said that "gold production was severely impacted by the temporary closure of high grade stopes following a seismic event in October 2005 and by the total suspension of mine production following the Anzac Day incident".

The Company reported that the lower production resulted in a 29% reduction in the Company's sales revenue to $24.2 million for the year.

The hedge book at 30 June consisted of 30,000 ounces of gold at an average price of $608 per ounce.

In line with the new AIFRS accounting standards, and the Company's temporary inability to deliver gold into its hedge contracts, Beaconsfield Gold's gold hedging no longer meets the strict AIFRS criteria of effective hedging. Movements in the hedge book marked-to-market value are now required to be brought to account through earnings, resulting in a cost of $6.5 million for the year.

As a consequence of the impact on the Company's financial position of the Anzac Day incident, the interim dividend for the year, which was announced on 3 May and subsequently deferred, has now been cancelled.

"It is the intention of the Board to recommence distributing a proportion of free cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividends as soon as financial circumstances permit," Mr Colvin said.

Mr Colvin also expressed an optimistic outlook for the Company going forward.

"Whilst mining operations at Beaconsfield remain suspended, significant progress has been made towards completing the work necessary to seek approval from the Chief Inspector of Mines to re-open the mine," Mr Colvin said.

On 6 September the Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture announced the initial findings of a geotechnical assessment of the Beaconsfield Mine by Coffey Mining.

Mr Colvin said "the geotechnical consultants believe that there are no geotechnical reasons for the mine not to reopen, and the Joint Venture has financial assistance from the Federal Government to reopen the mine and to continue its development."

Whilst there remains some uncertainty as to the re-opening of the Beaconsfield mine, the Company believes it is well positioned for the future.

"We are well placed to move to 100% ownership of the Beaconsfield mine, especially following the recent court ruling which confirmed our comprehensive pre-emptive rights. Additionally, we are looking forward with anticipation to significant exploration activity at Stavely in Western Victoria," Mr Colvin said.

Review and results of operations

Overview/USA Operations
CLK Energy, the operator for Bayou Choctaw in Louisiana, drilled the first deep well under the farmin programme known as AMI No. 1. This well penetrated the two major objectives and the upper zone has been completed as an oil producer. This upper zone has given some problems and the production rates have not stabilised since the well was placed on production. Drilling plans include a sidetrack of AMI No.1 to complete the deeper zone when a new rig is contracted. The drilling rig used for AMI No.1 was to be used to drill two further wells in the Wilberts Lease but this rig proved to be unsuitable and the option for two further wells terminated. Equipment shortages in the USA remain critical and it is difficult to secure good well maintained equipment. Negotiations are continuing for several rigs which are more suitable for our operations.

Since the issue of the 2005 Annual Report in April oil prices have risen to over $US 70.00 per barrel. The price rise is mainly due to the unstable Middle East situation but is also partly due to refining capacity problems in the USA and the continuing surge in demand in India and China. Moves to price oil in currencies other than US dollars have not been successful but this pressure remains. It is unlikely that lower prices will follow as Russia and other major producers are enjoying an economic resurgence with oil prices received being the main driver.

Australian Operations
The drilling of Stitch No.1 in ATP 626P in the Surat Basin in Queensland remains a priority well. A farmout agreement was signed with Santos to drill this well in April and it was rescheduled to August when delays were apparent that the Dept of Natural Resources, Mines and Water was not able to renew the permit in time for this drilling schedule. The permit was eventually renewed in July 2006 following the issue of an environmental licence by the Environmental Protection Authority in Queensland which caused the delay. Meetings have been held in Adelaide with Santos to reschedule the well and chose the final location which is now under consideration for drilling as soon as possible when drilling equipment can be obtained. Santos has several rigs under contract suitable for the work but the drilling must fit in with rig operational schedules.

The farmout of ATP 765P and 766P to Santos is almost completed and Native Title work will commence soon. As soon as a Native Title agreement is reached then seismic data gathering will commence in these permits. It is planned to drill wells in these permits under the farmout agreements early in 2007 but this will be subject to the seismic data interpretation and rig scheduling.

The Western Australian offshore permits have been surrendered following a shortage of equipment needed to conduct the original proposed surveys.

Icon continues to bid on new acreage releases in Queensland and South Australia and will eventually pick up new permit exploration opportunities.

An agreement to build and operate a new drilling rig for onshore operations in Australia has been negotiated with Gallagher Engineering and it is expected that this construction will commence within the next one to two months.

Financial position
On 20th March 2006, Icon signed a Subscription Agreement with Santos Limited (in conjunction with a Farmin Agreement) to subscribe for 10,000,000 fully paid shares in Icon energy Limited at a price of 6.76 cents per share to raise a total of $ 676,000.00 and paid Icon $100,000.00 for the issue of 20,000,000 options to be exercised at the market price for the shares as quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange on the date of exercise. These options cannot be exercised before 31 December 2006 and not after 31 December 2008. The 10,000,000 shares were issued to Santos on the 13th of July 2006..... - Web Site

KAGARA ZINC

KAGARA DELIVERS 238% PROFIT INCREASE RISING PRODUCTION UNDERPINS $35.6M NET PROFIT, STRONG INCREASE IN UNDERLYING EARNINGS

Diversified base metal producer Kagara Zinc Ltd (ASX: KZL) has benefited from rising production at its Mt Garnet operations in Queensland and strong zinc, copper and lead prices to deliver a 238% increase in net profit after tax for 2005/06 to $35.6 million. The excellent full-year financial performance will underpin Kagara’s continued growth, with the Company forecasting a further strong increase in production and earnings for 2006/07.

The impressive bottom line result, which compares with a net profit after tax of $10.5 million last year, was struck on an 86% increase in sales revenue to $116.7 million (2005: $62.7 million), reflecting strongly increased production and sales of zinc, lead and copper concentrates from Mt Garnet. Pre-tax profit for the 12 months to 30 June 2006 was $51.7 million (2005: $14.4 million), with an income tax expense for the year of $16.1 million (2005: $3.8 million).

The strong cash generation and low cost structure of the Mt Garnet Project saw an impressive increase in Kagara’s underlying earnings. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 155% to $73.4 million (2005: $28.8 million) while the Mt Garnet operations generated a gross profit of $57.8 million (2005: $15.7 million). Operating cash flows for the year rose strongly to $57.4 million (2005: $21.6 million).

As at 30 June 2006, Kagara had cash on hand of $15.6 million (2005: $17.4 million) and receivables of $19.1 million (2005: $6.1 million), with the Company’s cash position expected to improve further during 2006/07 with rising production from the Mt Garnet Project.

Commenting on the result, Kagara's Executive Chairman, Mr Kim Robinson, said the strong increase in earnings reflected the first phase of the Company's growth, with polymetallic production from the Mt Garnet plant increasing strongly and benefiting from the strength of commodity prices..... - Web Site

EMPEROR MINES

Preliminary Final Report

Emperor Mines Limited today announced the release of its 2005/06 4E Preliminary Final Report, which details the financial position of the company as at 30 June 2006 following the US$237 million acquisition earlier this year of a substantial portfolio of assets in Papua New Guinea.

Emperor's acquisition of DRDGOLD's PNG assets was completed on 6 April 2006. This transaction has been accounted for in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards Board, AASB3 Business Combinations. Under these standards, DRD Isle of Man Limited (holding company for the PNG assets) was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the business combination. This transaction has therefore been treated as a reverse acquisition under AASB3. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Emperor Mines Limited group have been prepared as a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of DRD Isle of Man Limited and the income statement for this financial year incorporates 12 months of results of DRD Isle of Man Limited and 3 months of results of "old Emperor Mines Limited".

Emperor has reported an accounting loss of A$27 million for the year ending June 30, 2006, reflecting the application of the above reverse acquisition accounting standards. Chief Financial Officer, Clyde Moore, said "the results reflect operational challenges with all three operations producing less gold than in previous years at greater than expected total costs per ounce".

PRYME OIL & GAS

Pryme Oil and Gas Reports First-Half Results

Pryme Oil and Gas Limited (ASX Code: PYM), a fast-growing Australian oil and natural gas producer and explorer operating in the U.S., is pleased to announce its first half-yearly results.

Pryme listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) on 21 April 2006 and whilst the Directors are pleased to be selling oil on a monthly basis, the enclosed financial reports only represent the three months of April, May and June and not the entire half year from January through to the end of June 2006.

Pryme has been producing and selling oil since listing and it acquired an interest in its first oil producing property, the LaSalle Parish Project, effective 1 April 2006 with revenues from operations after royalties of $285,179 and earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) of $188,010 for the U.S. operations. These figures represent only three months of production out of the six-month reporting period ending 30 June 2006.

Whilst the Consolidated entity is enjoying strong income from oil sold from this project, the final result for the Consolidated entity is a loss of $(279,168). This is due to the large amount of costs associated with the first three to four months of operation of the Company as a listed entity here in Australia being offset by only three months of revenue from oil sold.

The Directors expect revenues and profitability to increase in the second half of 2006, particularly with the Company's additional interest in the LaSalle Parish Project which was purchased subsequent to this report and has had the effect of increasing revenues by 50%. The Company took ownership of this additional interest from 1 July 2006.

The 2006 half-yearly result was impacted favourably by:

Successful acquisition of the LaSalle Parish Project;
Efficient operation of the LaSalle Parish Project by Pryme's operator Belle Oil; and
Very favourable prices for both oil and gas where Pryme operates in one of the strongest oil and gas producing states in the U.S., Louisiana.

The 2006 half-yearly result was adversely affected by:

Only the three months of April, May and June being recorded as the Company listed on the Aon 21 April, 2006 and only took ownership of the LaSalle Parish Project on 1 April 2006; and
High income statement costs offsetting only three months of revenue attributable to the start-up
or newly listing of Pryme...... - Web Site

PALMAREJO SILVER-GOLD PROJECT DRILL RESULTS UPDATE

The Directors are pleased to announce latest drill results from the Palmarejo Silver-Gold Project in the Temoris District, Chihuahua, Mexico.

The Palmarejo Project is held by the Company's subsidiary, Planet Gold SA de CV ('Planet Gold'). Planet Gold is owned 100% by Palmarejo Silver and Gold Corporation, a Canadian TSX Venture Exchange listed corporation which is approximately 74% owned by and controlled by the Company.

Highlights

Twelve holes have been drilled for 1,015 metres of reverse circulation ('RC') and 1,330 metres of diamond core since 1 July 2006. The emphasis has been on attempting to extend areas of high grade mineralisation and further defining the margins of the high grade 076 clavo.

These drill holes are being incorporated into the Palmarejo deposit resource estimate and pit planning which is currently in progress.

The following are some of the impressive assay intercepts mostly from the infill and margin definition drilling on the 076 clavo with the exception of PMDH 580D which is an infill hole drilled on the Rosario clavo at the junction of the La Blanca and La Prieta structures.

5.50 metres @ 2.80 g/t Au and 577 g/t Ag (12.4 g/t AuEq) and 10.50 metres @ 3.91 g/t Au and 317 g/t Ag (9.2 g/t AuEq) PMDH580D

DE GREY MINING

EXPLORATION UPDATE

De Grey Mining Ltd is pleased to report that a number of drilling and geophysical programs are currently underway targeting De Grey's poly-metallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) belt at the company's Turner River Project, 60 kilometres south of Port Hedland.

A Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic (VTEM) survey is currently 76% complete (Figure 1) with an anticipated completion date of 15th September. The purpose of the survey is to quickly scan the VMS belt on De Grey’s project area over a 75 kilometre strike for any near surface copper and/or pyrite rich massive sulphide targets. The results of the survey will greatly assist with the targeting of future drilling programs.

An Induced Polarisation (IP) survey has also commenced on site. This style of geophysics is more suited to the disseminated zinc and silver rich mineralisation identified to date and is being tested with orientation lines over the known occurrences at Orchard Tank and Discovery. If the technique is validated it will be used over a wider regional setting to help identify further targets.

An RC rig has been on site for 10 days and has completed 1,170 metres of a 2,430 metre RC drilling program. The RC drilling is expected to be finished on the 22nd September. The purpose of the RC drilling is primarily to provide pre collars for a 1,150 metre Diamond drilling program which is scheduled to commence 16th September. This program is designed to test for extensions to the Orchard Tank (Figure 2), Discovery and Tabba Tabba prospects along with testing the two RAB anomalies previously announced to the market on the 22nd August 2006.

De Grey's Managing Director Darren Townsend said "There is currently an increased level of activity at Turner River and we are looking forward to obtaining some diamond core to help with the geological and metallurgical understanding of the base and precious metal mineralisation. We are confident the numerous geophysical techniques we are using at Turner River will help assist with locating future drill programs. The current program of work will greatly increase the information we have on our new VMS belt and should assist the company with working towards its aim of identifying a critical mass of resource drilling targets." - Web Site

Wall Street rallied for a third straight session Tuesday, propelling the Dow Jones industrials up more than 100 points after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. reported results that beat expectations and investors grew more confident that the continuing drop in crude oil prices would boost consumer spending.

Oil prices fell by almost 3 percent Tuesday, dipping below $64 a barrel as worldwide demand and supply threats ease.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Bargain hunting resulted in a rebound for nickel and copper London Metal Exchange contracts from Monday's lows. LME nickel staged the strongest bounce, rising as much as 6.2% after warehouse stocks fell by 42 tons to 6,990 tons.

BEACH PETROLEUM

WEEKLY DRILLING REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 12TH SEPTEMBER 2006

Beach Petroleum advises the status of the wells it operates, or has an interest in, as follows:

OPERATED WELLS

Snowden-1
Well type: Exploration.
Location: PEL 92, Cooper- Eromanga Basin, South Australia. 82km west of Moomba. 10km south of Christies Oil Field.
Participants: Beach Petroleum Ltd (Operator) 75% Cooper Energy Limited 25%
Total Depth: 1906 mRT (actual)
Objectives: Namur Sandstone Birkhead Formation/Hutton Sandstone
Progress & status: Since last report the well has drilled from 666 metres to a Total Depth of 1906 metres where wireline logs were recorded. No significant hydrocarbon shows were recorded in the Namur, Birkhead, Hutton or Poolowanna objectives. Wireline logs and sidewall cores confirmed the absence of hydrocarbons at all objectives. At 0600 hours (CST) on 12 September the operation was preparing to plug and abandon the well.
It is anticipated the rig will be released from the well site on or about 13 September 2006.

Recent Activity:

1. POE-8 Development Well
On September 1 2006, the POE-8 well (well # 3) was drilled to a total depth of 1,312 metres, approximately 200 metres below the initially planned total depth of 1,100 metres. The deepening of POE-8 was a decision made on the basis of strong indications of hydrocarbons (both oil shows and high mud gas readings) encountered while drilling below 1,100 metres.

Highlands Pacific Group Half Year Results

Net loss US$ 26.4 million
Loss included US$ 12 million of non-cash items including US$ 10 million unrealised gold hedge adjustment
The Kainantu mine continues in the ramp up stage

Highlands Pacific Group ("Highlands") today announced its financial results for the Half Year ended 30 June 2006. The net loss from ordinary activities after income tax by the Group for the half-year is US$26.4 million. The result for the period was significantly affected due to the requirement to take into account unrealised losses of $10.031 million which relate to the current structure of the Company's designated gold forward sales through to 31 December 2008. This treatment is in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Currently the Company is in discussions with its financiers to restructure its gold hedge book to better reflect the production profile of the Kainantu mine. It is expected that the restructuring will be completed before 31 December 2006.

Upon the successful restructuring of the hedge book these unrealised, non cash losses will be reversed out of the Company's accounts.

The remainder of the loss relates to the operations at the Highlands Pacific Limited (ASX: HIG) Kainantu gold mine as it goes through its ramp-up stage and normal company operations.... - Web Site

INTREPID REPORTS MORE GOLD RESULTS AT JULIETA, ARGENTINA

Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX:IAU, IXN & ASX:IAU) reports further drilling success at the Julieta discovery, a 1 kilometre long vein structure located 4 kilometres northwest of Kamila.

Based on positive results achieved during Phase I drilling (see Intrepid Minerals Corporation Press release, March 3rd, 2006), a 1675 metre Phase 2 diamond drilling program consisting of 21 shallow holes was undertaken in July 2006. Fourteen holes intersected the principal Julieta vein over core lengths of 0.65 to 11.65 metres to vertical depths of approximately 70 metres. When the Julieta vein was intersected values ranged from 2.35 g/t gold over 4 metres to a best intercept of 7.37 g/t gold over 4.5 metres....... - Web Site

JUBILEE MINES

FURTHER HIGH GRADE NICKEL SULPHIDE RESULTS FROM ALEC MAIRS COMPLEX

ALEC MAIRS 2
Jubilee Mines NL (ASX: JBM) is pleased to announce that a series of high grade massive nickel sulphide intersections have been returned from recent underground drilling at the AM2 Zone within the Alec Mairs Complex. This highly prospective area is located 500 metres south of the Cosmos Deeps mine in close proximity to existing infrastructure (Figure 1). These intersections were originally referred to in the previous ASX announcement dated 28 August 2006.

Significant intersections returned from this drilling include (see Table 1 and Figure 2 for details):

AMD210 0.3 metres @ 1.3% Ni
AMD211 7.4 metres @ 16.9% Ni (estimated true width ~4.0 metres)
AMD212 11.2 metres @ 15.0% Ni (estimated true width ~6.0 metres)
AMD221 4.1 metres @ 4.1% Ni (estimated true width ~2.5 metres)

In addition to these results, the next traverse of drilling completed approximately 20 metres further to the south (AMD213, AMD214 and AMD 215) has extended the zone of massive nickel sulphide mineralisation, although these intersections are narrower than currently being reported. Assay results for these holes are awaited.

The AM2 massive nickel sulphide deposit is developing into a significant high-grade mineralised position which remains open and is clearly only part of a much broader mineralised environment. With continued drilling success, the AM2 zone has the potential to form an important source of near term, high grade production for the Cosmos operations......

POTENTIAL NEW ZONE
As part of this surface diamond drilling program, hole BJD048a was drilled approximately 50 metres south of the AM2 position and successfully intersected an interval of high tenor massive nickel sulphides within a broader zone of disseminated and stringer mineralization. This zone is interpreted to be slightly offset from the basal contact into a hanging wall position (Figure 4). The result of this hole is summarised below with full details are provided in Table 2:

BJD048a 23.7 metres @ 3.63% Ni (includes 4.4 metres @ 9.6% Ni)

Subsequent down hole electromagnetic surveys (DHEM) of this hole have identified a robust off hole conductor in a position modelled to be down dip and slightly to the north of the hole..... - Web Site

STUART PETROLEUM

Fracture Program In Cooper Basin, South Australia results in Increased Production for Stuart

South Australian based Stuart Petroleum Ltd (ASX code: STU) today announced that a two well fracture stimulation program of the Murta formation at the Padulla oilfield in the Cooper Basin, had been successfully completed with substantial improvements in production rates.

Stuart advised that production from the 100% owned field had increased from a pre-fracture production rate of around 30 barrels of oil per day to an initial postfracture rate of over 1,000 barrels per day. Production is expected to stabilize around 500 barrels of oil per day. This will boost Stuart’s production from the Cooper Basin, taking daily output to in excess of 2,000 barrels of oil per day.

The Padulla fracture stimulations, part of a four well program costing $1.0 million, commenced on 25 August 2006 with results assessed up to 11 September 2006.

In announcing the results, Mr. Tino Guglielmo, the Managing Director of Stuart said, "The Stuart operated program has been highly successful and, in addition to the oil production, an increase in oil reserves is anticipated once production data and subsequent production performance is fully analysed"..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street closed marginally higher Monday as a broad retreat in commodities prices prompted investors to shift money out of oil and raw materials-based companies and into other stock sectors.

Advancing issues barely outnumbered decliners on the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil eased further as OPEC said it would continue pumping crude at high rates to extend global supplies.

BP PLC has received permission from a state agency to use a bypass line to possibly restart some production from the shuttered eastern side of Prudhoe Bay. However, other agencies also must approve the plan, and BP hasn't decided whether to even use the bypass system, spokesman Steve Rinehart said Monday.

Copper led metals lower in London on speculation that slowing global economic growth may curb demand for industrial metals.

Preliminary Final Report

Financial overview

The Company completed the sale of its interest in the Tubridgi field on 4th July 2005 with net proceeds of A$2.9m being received on that date.

During the year, the Company also received a $1.3m settlement of a long standing contractual matter related to Tubridgi. During September-December 2005 the Company raised $13.5m (net of issue costs) from a 1:2 rights issue in December 2005, and A$5.0m through two share placements. Funds raised from these capital raisings are primarily earmarked to fund PPP’s Tui oil development as well as exploration activities.

On 21 April 2006 an agreement was effected with Commonwealth Bank of Australia to finance PPP’s investment in the Tui oil development. Two facilities were established under the agreement: a cash advance facility of US$22m and a letter of credit facility of US$10m. As at 30 June 2006 US$8.3m had been drawn down on the cash facility and US$7.0m of the letter of credit utilised.

During the year the Company acquired an indirect interest in Egyptian oil concession Block 3, West Kom Ombo. On 29 June 2006, the Company exchanged the indirect interest for 12 million fully paid shares in Volant Petroleum Limited, representing 7.59% of Volant’s share capital. Cash on hand at 30 June was $19.6m (including $1.40 million held to our account in the Joint venture operations of the group).

Operational

On 21 November 2005 the Tui project partners formally decided to immediately proceed with development of the Tui Area oil fields. Petroleum Mining Permit PMP 38158 was granted over the Tui Area and satellite prospects by the NZ Minister of Energy on 29 November 2005.

Ongoing optimisation of the Tui Area development plan resulted in a revised reservoir development plan that now includes two production wells in the Tui oil pool and one production well in each leg of the Amokura/Pateke pool. This optimisation increased Proven + Probable reserves by 1.1 million barrels to 27.9 million barrels (PPP’s share 2.79 million barrels). Work continues on optimising other elements of the project.

Within the PMP38158 area, the Tieke and Taranui prospects have been selected as the next exploration targets to be drilled. A firm commitment was also made to drill the Hector prospect in PEP38483, Taranaki Basin.

The Libris prospect drilled during September 2006, resulting in a sub-commercial oil discovery in the Upper and Lower Angel formation targets. At the time of writing, operations to plug and abandon the well was proceeding.

Outlook

PPP intends to concentrate on its development of the Tui oil area and exploration activities in the Taranaki and Carnarvon basins.

The Tui project facilities are designed for a maximum initial oil flow rate of 50,000 barrels of oil per day. Due to the nature of the reservoirs liquids production is expected to remain high but with a relatively rapid rise in water production and associated decline in oil rate. To maximise ultimate oil recovery the FPSO is being designed to handle up to approximately 120,000 barrels per day of liquid. The FPSO oil storage capacity will be in excess of 700,000 barrels, to provide flexibility to efficiently utilise a range of differently sized offtake oil tankers. Timing of first oil production still expected by end of June 2007.

Three exploration prospects, all of which have been defined by 3D seismic, will be drilled by the Ocean Patriot:

Tieke and Taranui, both of which are within the Tui Area petroleum mining permit (PPP 10%) and, like Tui, are Kapuni F sands targets.
Hector, in PEP38483 (PPP 14.1% equity) which is a Kapuni C sands structural closure.

The starting date for the six-well Taranaki exploration and development drilling program is dependent upon release of the Ocean Patriot semi-submersible drilling unit from prior commitments with third parties, but likely to commence in the December 2006 quarter.

Success at either Tieke and/or Taranui could be monetized relatively quickly by linking additional subsea wells by flowlines to the Tui FPSO......- Web Site

Update on Rapu Rapu

A further update on the commissioning progress of the Rapu Rapu polymetallic project in the following our announcement that Rapu-Rapu Processing, Inc. (RRPI), had applied for a sixty (60) day extension of the Temporary Lifting Order (TLO) granted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on 10 July 2006.

The application for the extension had not been considered by the Pollution Adjudication Board at the expiration of the trial period stated in the TLO and, in order to ensure strict compliance with DENR's requirements for the conduct of the test run, plant operations were suspended at 23.00 hours on Friday, 8 September 2006.

Results during the test run to date have demonstrated full compliance with DENR regulatory standards. Some production of commercial quality concentrate has been achieved. Consistent and stable production of on-spec concentrates may only be a week or two away.

Lafayette remains hopeful that the extension will be granted shortly. - Web Site

NEW ORDER RIGHT CESSION FOR SMOKEY HILLS PGM PROJECT

Platinum Australia Limited (ASX:PLA) (AIM:PLAA) is pleased to announce that it has been granted a cession transferring the New Order Prospecting Right covering the Smokey Hills Project to PhokaThaba Platinum (Pty) Ltd ("PhokaThaba"), the Joint Venture company in which PLA has an 80% interest.

Commenting on the news, PLA Managing Director John Lewins said: "The issue of the cession transfers the Prospecting Right from our Joint Venture partner, Corridor Mining Resources, to our joint venture company, PhokaThaba. This is important as it allows PLA to submit the application for the Mining Right in the name of PhokaThaba, the company in which we have an 80% controlling interest."

"We have commenced preliminary engineering work on the project to enable us to order long lead items, such as the mills, to ensure the project is developed as quickly as possible following the issue of the Mining Right. We are hopeful of obtaining the Mining Right in late 2006 or early 2007 at which point we would commence mining and toll treatment of ore while we undertake construction of the treatment plant. We would expect to commence commissioning of the treatment plant and commence production of concentrates in late 2007.”"

PLA is currently in discussions with a number of banks regarding the funding of the Project and expects to issue a mandate in the near future. Following a share placement in May of this year which raised $21 million, the Company has some $25 million in cash, sufficient to provide its share of equity funding for the Smokey Hills Project and to fund the Pre and Bankable Feasibility Study on the Kalplats Project..... - Web Site

SYDNEY GAS

Camden Gas Project Seismic Program

The Sydney Gas/AGL Joint Venture has initiated an integrated geophysical and geological approach to optimising its CSM production

Sydney Gas Ltd Managing Director, Dr Philip Moore, said this is the first time such an approach has been used in Coal Seam Methane gas assessment in the Sydney Basin.

The Joint Venture is undertaking an approximately 85 km 2D Seismic Survey over the Camden Gas Project. So far, 47 km of seismic data have been recorded in Stage 2 and 18 km of seismic data in Stage 3. The survey is expected to be completed by the end of September 2006.

To complement this 2D Seismic Survey, the Joint Venture has also embarked on high resolution seismic reprocessing of 650 km of data that was recorded over the Camden Gas Project area in 1987, 1988 and 1990.

The seismic study is designed to optimise the upcoming drilling locations for both vertical and in-seam wells to maximise future gas production throughput from the Camden Gas Project. A secondary objective is to refine a conventional gas target...... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street rebounded moderately Friday from two losing sessions as oil prices dropped further and investors mostly shrugged off another warning from a homebuilder about declining demand. The major indexes ended the week with losses.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Federal Reserve reported Friday that consumer borrowing rose at an annual rate of 2.8 percent in July, down from an increase of 7.3 percent in June.

Oil has fallen in recent days as inventory figures showed increases and as tensions with Iran over its nuclear ambitions eased. The weaker oil price was also driven by news that BP will be able to get its Prudhoe Bay production back up to normal levels earlier than expected, perhaps by late October. The end of the summer driving period, coupled with a lighter-than-expected hurricane season have also helped lower prices.

Profit taking and end-of-week book squaring on the London Metal Exchange took the shine off this week's strong gains.

Alinta DRP Price

Alinta confirms the price of shares issued under its Dividend Reinvestment Plan for the dividend payable on 29 September 2006 is $10.8308.

AZTEC RESOURCES

AZTEC BOARD FORMALLY RECOMMENDS SHAREHOLDERS REJECT MOUNT GIBSON’S INADEQUATE OFFER

Aztec Resources Limited (ASX/AIM:AZR) ("Aztec") notes Mount Gibson Iron Limited ("Mount Gibson") recently dispatched its Bidder's Statement to Aztec's shareholders relating to its unsolicited and conditional Takeover Offer ("Offer") for Aztec.

As outlined in Aztec's letter to shareholders on 29 August 2006, Aztec's Directors consider that the Bidder's Statement lacks the necessary disclosures Aztec Shareholders require to fully assess Mount Gibson and its Offer.

On 6 September 2006, in response to actions by your Aztec Directors, Mount Gibson released a Supplementary Bidder’s Statement providing Aztec's Shareholders with additional and necessary information that Aztec considers should have been provided in the original Bidder's Statement. Aztec Directors continue to seek further information and disclosures from Mount Gibson.

After a detailed assessment of the Offer, Aztec's Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders REJECT the inadequate offer from Mount Gibson.

The reasons for this recommendation are as follows:

The loyalty of Aztec shareholders is set to be rewarded as Aztec's Koolan Island Project commences production of iron ore. The Aztec management team has made significant progress in developing the Project over the past year and remain on track for first production in December 2006 and first shipments of iron ore in early 2007.
The Offer is inadequate. It does not reflect the strategic importance of the Koolan Island Project to Mount Gibson.
The Offer is opportunistically timed to take advantage of Aztec in the period prior to the commencement of production at Koolan Island.
The Aztec Board holds serious concerns about the risks associated with the Mount Gibson shares being offered to Aztec shareholders as consideration under the Offer. In particular:
- Mount Gibson's ability to sustain production and shipping of three million tonnes per annum from its Tallering Peak operation is unproven.
- The significant risks associated with the development of Mount Gibson's Extension Hill Hematite Project. At this time only a desk top study has been completed.
- Mount Gibson's management team have continued to underperform their own operational and financial projections for the company..... - Web Site

NGM RESOURCES

WITHDRAWAL FROM LONGTAUSHAN GOLD MINE JV, CHINA

NGM Resources Limited (ASX Codes: NGM, NGMO) today announced that it has decided to withdraw from the Longtaushan gold mine joint venture in China following completion of a drilling program to test for new ore zones at the mine and assessment of results from this drilling and a regional exploration program in the surrounding area.

The drilling program was designed to test for potential new ore zones in close proximity to the existing mine workings. While the drilling returned some encouraging intersections, including 6m at 3.78g/t gold, 9.3g/t silver, 0.46% copper including 2m at 7.12g/t gold, 4.0g/t silver and 0.44% copper, in general the results were disappointing.

The net profit after tax for the year of $6,019,000 ($2005: $6,831,000) was underpinned by a full year of gold production from Southern Cross operations in Western Australia.

As at 30 June 2006, the Company is financially well placed to pursue its strategic objectives, with cash at bank of $79,336,000 (2005: $16,273,000), investments of $29,569,000 (2005: $6,104,000) and minimal secured debt of $644,000.

Profit and Performance

The profit for 2006 of $6,019,000 is after expensing exploration expenditure of $16,831,000 (2005: $6,107,000) (excluding salaries, rents and rates) and mine development expenses of $8,908,000 (2005: $7,287,000).

Key contributors to the results were a cash operating margin (average selling price $694/oz less cash operating cost $443/oz) from operations of $41,500,000 before amortisation and depreciation, profit on the divestment of Meekatharra $10,500,000 and profit on divestment of South Laverton of $9,300,000..... - Web Site

Another Major Advance For Munali - Environmental Approval Granted and Site Works Commence

HIGHLIGHTS

The Environmental Council of Zambia has approved the Company’s Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, paving the way for development of the Enterprise Nickel Project at Munali.
All necessary approvals and appointments, required under the Mining Act and Regulations, to commence mining operations have also been completed.
Site construction work commenced immediately after these final approvals were received, with surface clearing for the proposed box-cut, stockpiling of topsoil and site works for offices and other surface facilities.
Following the recently announced positive Bankable Feasibility Study, the approval of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) is a major milestone in the development of the project and satisfies a key condition precedent for project financing.
Approval of the ESIA and all other approvals required for mining, ahead of schedule, have enabled early development of the box-cut and underground decline. This will considerably de-risk the Munali Project’s mining schedule. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks fell for the second straight day Thursday after warnings from several homebuilders raised investors' concerns about an economic slowdown and comments about inflation from San Francisco Federal Reserve President Janet Yellen offered investors little comfort. News services quoted Yellen as saying the Fed should maintain its focus on containing inflation. She said the outlook regarding inflation remains "highly uncertain."

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by roughly 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

POSITIVE GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT ASSISTS EFFORTS TO RECOMMENCE PRODUCTION AT BEACONSFIELD MINE

Beaconsfield Gold NL (ASX: BCD or the "Company") welcomes the announcement issued today by Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate"), as Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV"), regarding the geotechnical assessment of the Beaconsfield Mine undertaken by Coffey Mining. A copy of the Allstate announcement is included with this release.

Coffey Mining says that "at this stage we do not foresee any geotechnical reasons relating to ground control that could not be managed such that they would prevent the Beaconsfield Mine recommencing operations."

BCD views the Coffey Mining assessment as positive news for the miners, the community and other parties committed to seeing the Beaconsfield Mine back in production. BCD advises, however, that there is still a high level of uncertainty concerning the actual timing of any recommencement of commercial mining operations and gold production as extensive consultation by Allstate is still required with the workforce, local community, Workplace Standards Tasmania, the AWU, the Coroner and other stakeholders.

BCD also believes the geotechnical assessment is positive for Allstate's intention to sell its group interest in the BMJV or to recapitalise Allstate. Notwithstanding the uncertainties associated with the mine's re-opening, BCD is committed to acquiring 100% ownership of the mine and has formally advised Allstate of its position. The Company believes it is best qualified and best placed to take over management of the mine.

"We are obviously pleased to hear that the Coffey Mining report has found no geotechnical reasons to prevent the mine recommencing operations," BCD Chief Executive Officer Bill Colvin said.

"Beaconsfield Gold is the company that is best placed to get the mine up and running when approval has been granted to recommence commercial mining operations. We know the mine and we have shareholder approval for the funding to buy the Allstate group's interest".

NEW GUINEA GOLD

PRESS RELEASE - KAVOLA EAST GOLD ZONE (MT PENCK) TAKES SHAPE

Vancouver 6 September 2006. Drilling is continuing to define the Kavola East gold system within the Mt Penck Project in Papua New Guinea. The latest drilling gave results including: 7m at 2.3g/t gold, 13m at 2.1g/t gold, 5m at 2.5 g/t gold, 3m at 4.3 g/t gold, 2m at 8.4 g/t gold, (including 1 m at 16.2 g/t gold), 6m at 1.9 g/t gold, 2m at 4.5 g/t gold, and 5m at 2.5 g/t gold.

The Mt Penck Project is beneficially owned 60% New Guinea Gold and 40% Vangold Resources.

Composite intervals down hole (which include and average all intersections in a drill hole which could reasonably be expected to be included in an open pit, if such a pit is eventually developed) were:

in hole 11 between 67m to 76m, 5m at 5.9 g/t gold
in hole 15 between 5m and 37m, 19m at 1.6 g/t gold
in hole 18 between 10m and 53m, 26m at 2.3 g/t gold

To evaluate the current progress at Kavola East, refer to the tables of new intersections and previously announced results below. Previous intersections included results such as:

10m at 2.0 g/t gold in hole 2
5m at 3.2 g/t gold in hole 3
6m at 3.7 g/t gold in hole 4
composite intervals of 10m at 3.9 g/t gold between 154m and 169m downhole in hole 5
composite intervals of 54m at 2.2 g/t gold between surface and 85m downhole in hole 6
composite intervals of 30m at 4.2 g/t gold between surface and 70m downhole in hole 7
composite intervals of 31m at 2.3 g/t gold between surface and 70m downhole in hole 8
composite intervals of 22m at 2.3 g/t gold between surface and 38m downhole in historic hole DDH7

There is a silver credit at Kavola East but results are erratic. A possibility is that silver is partly leached from the near surface environment. In hole 17 the following significant intersections were noted: 24m to 27m, 3m at 15 g/t silver; 61 to 64, 3m at 18 g/t silver and 70-71, 1m at 24g/t silver. In hole 18 the interval 37-39 contained 28 g/t silver.

All current and previous drill results are shown in the accompanying table. Hole locations and gold soil geochemistry results for the immediate Kavola East area are shown in Figure 1........

Geological Model Update

Assay results reinforce geological model at Lindsays

The geological model has been drill-tested at three separate locations along the Eastern Structure at Parrot Feathers, Copperline and south of the Trial Pit.

Drilling returned excellent results indicating significant thicknesses of mineralisation. (Refer: Table A).

Drill hole PFRC279 replicated the intersection in previous drill hole PFRC101 (7m @ 8.5g/t) and drill holes PFRC282 and PFRC283 replicated intersections in the previous drill hole PFRC88 (2m @ 17.5g/t). Intersections in drill holes PFRC260, 262, 263 and 275 are associated with significant mineralised zones south of the Trial Pit. These intersections extend the current understanding of the geological model to a distance of over 700 metres from Parrot Feathers to south of the Trial Pit within a known mineralised strike extent on the Eastern Structure of 1.6 kilometres.

Continuity along strike is to be further tested with infill-drilling between the above locations. As an example, gaps in the drilling between Parrot Feathers and the Trial Pit are highlighted in the long section (Refer: Figure 1) and will be the focus of the drilling beginning next week.

Two drill holes were also completed in this programme at Parrot Feathers to test the continuity down dip between high grade intersections. Drill holes PFRC284 and PFRC285 were drilled midway between high grade intersections on the 10 metre sections 48420N and 48480N respectively. Results confirmed the existence of high grade zones of similar tenor and thickness between the existing high grade intersections.

Carrick Gold's current Total Resource stands at 28.38M tonnes for 2.25M gold ounces; however, recent drilling will increase this Total Resource. - Web Site

HANNANS REWARDS

QVR NORTH ACQUISITION

Exposure to the gold-prospective Ida Fault has been increased to approximately 60 strike kilometers at Hannans Reward's Queen Victoria Rock project.

Hannans Reward has identified a number of structural targets along this section of the Ida Fault, which may be prospective for gold mineralisation and detailed auger sampling programmes are planned to test these structural targets (refer attached Figure). Further drilling is anticipated to follow up gold anomalies which may be identified.

This acquisition, on the northern boundary of the Company's QVR Project, increases the total QVR project to approximately 336km2.

The QVR project is highly prospective for both gold and nickel and is located approximately 70km west of the gold mining centre of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia and 40 km south- southwest of Coolgardie.

The consideration for ELA 15/913 was $10,000 and 200,000 Hannans Reward Ltd shares...... - Web Site

ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL FOR JACK HILLS PROJECT

The average geothermal gradient for the entire hole is 50^oC per kilometre. Petratherm's benchmark for economically viable electricity generation is a temperature of 200^oC, or more, at a depth of 3.5 to 4 kilometres. The temperature gradient in the deepest 200 metres of the current well (Paralana 1B) is the same as the average temperature gradient from the surface to 1807 metres, i.e. 50^oC per kilometre. Continuation of the measured average geothermal gradient of 50^oC per kilometre suggests that a temperature of 200^oC should be attained at approximately 3.6 kilometres.

This result is world class and amongst the best recorded in Australia. The temperature results have not only confirmed the large heat resource at Paralana but have also vindicated Petratherm’s unique Exploration Model which aims to identify shallow geothermal resources close to market..... - Web Site

PETRATHERM

NEW TESTS PROVE PETRATHERM WELL ONE OF AUSTRALIA'S HOTTEST 'HOT ROCKS' PROSPECTS

Australia's emerging geothermal energy sector has been boosted with confirmation from new tests that a South Australian exploration well has officially recorded one of the country’s highest "hot rocks" temperatures at levels much closer to surface than previous such wells.
The Paralana-1 geothermal test well result paves the way for ASX-listed Petratherm Limited to now consider the feasibility of moving to the third stage of its project to develop a commercial geothermal resource in far north South Australia.
This stage would drill two new wells nearby to Paralana-1 but up to twice the depth of the test well, to prove up the expected thermal resource, undertake circulation tests and establish an underground heat exchanger.
Under this trial heat exchange program, water would be pumped from surface down one of the new wells and circulated through hot rocks at approximately 3.6 kilometres depth. It would then be returned to surface via the second well as superheated water able to produce steam to drive electricity generators.
The drilling and circulation work would be a precursor to developing an electricity generation plant at Paralana of around 7.5 Megawatts capacity to supply local demand...... - Web Site

LATEST EXPLORATION RESULTS - Abra Mineralisation Still Open: New IP Anomaly Drilled

Abra Mining (ASX: AII) is pleased to announce that results received from the latest exploration push at the Company s Mulgul Project in Western Australia highlight both the growing size of the project as well as the emerging base metal potential of the wider province.

Assays have been received from the first three of a recent five-hole diamond drilling programme, which tested for continuity and changes in the composition of mineralisation beyond current drilling at the flagship polymetallic Abra Deposit at Mulgul, 200km north of Meekatharra.

The aggressive drilling programme has confirmed that mineralisation continues to remain open to the south and southwest at Abra.

Significant mineralisation was also intersected 2 kilometres west of the Abra deposit from a single drillhole at the new anomaly, Hyperion, which was recently identified during an Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey.

Assay results from the first 20 metres of the mineralised intersection at Hyperion included 20m @ 4.67% Pb and 23ppm Ag from 546.8m including 6.05m @ 9.86% Pb and 42ppm Ag from 548.2m (HY1). Assays for the remainder of the mineralised zone in HY1 are underway.

The best results received from the three holes assayed so far from the Abra step out drilling campaign included; 14m @ 3.71% Pb and 11ppm Ag from 638m (AB34), 86m @ 1.87% Pb, 0.10% Zn and 6ppm Ag from 472m including 15.3m @ 4.69% Pb, 0.44% Zn and 10ppm Ag from 496.7m (AB35) and 16m @ 3.81% Pb, 0.13% Zn and 7ppm Ag from 551m (AB36)...... - Web Site

BENDIGO MINING

Eaglehawk Mine Development Plan Confirmed

Bendigo Mining Limited (ASX:BDG) is pleased to announce that planning permission for the Eaglehawk Mine in Bendigo has today been confirmed by The Honourable Theo Theophanous MLC Minister for Energy Industries and Resources.

The decision follows an extensive review period, involving submissions from the Company and feedback from a range of stakeholders including regulatory authorities and representatives from the Bendigo community.

External advice was embraced within the development plan and it delivers similar and in some respects, significantly less environmental impact than the previously approved plan.

Bendigo Mining Limited Managing Director Mr Doug Buerger said "This is a good outcome for all involved. The Company can now proceed with development and importantly, the benefits can start to flow into the Borough of Eaglehawk."

The Eaglehawk underground mine, in the north of the Bendigo Goldfield, is an integral part of the Company’s development plan to grow annual production to 600,000 ounces of gold. The development plan includes an underground decline and an enclosed processing facility, similar to that recently constructed at the Kangaroo Flat Mine in the south of the goldfield.

GOLD AURA

Drilling Commences at Fergusson Island, Papua New Guinea

MSC entered into an option agreement to sell the quarry to China Century Growth Fund Limited, (a related party), at independent valuation and this option is in process of being exercised. MSC is sponsoring an ASX float of CCG for later this year. The independent valuer is DON REED & ASSOCIATES Pty Ltd, a leading extractive industries consultancy and valuation firm in Australia with experience in Chinese quarry businesses. The valuation is A$11.25 million which represents a 46% capital gain to MSC since its acquisition in March 2005. In addition, MSC has received interest payments on its Convertible Notes investment at 20% per annum. MSC holds A$2.7 million Convertible Notes which may be converted at any time into 35% Cominco equity. Although MSC has received very good value from this investment, the ongoing future value growth for this business is considered to be at least as equally promising.

The Chinese construction industry continues to be generally restrained by the strict government anti- inflation controls currently in place over the luxury housing and commercial building sector, however the general construction market continues to exhibit continued volume growth in the Shanghai region with firm stone prices and the medium term outlook is considered strong..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street closed well down on Wednesday after a series of economic reports left investors questioning whether the Federal Reserve might resume its string of interest rate hikes when it meets later this month.
A Labor Department report that wages rose at an annual rate of 4.9 percent in the second quarter, above the 4.2 percent the agency estimated, was an unpleasant surprise for a market that had reached three-month highs on hopes of stable rates. For the first quarter, the department said labor costs jumped 9 percent - the largest quarterly rise in almost six years.

Stocks drifted even lower Wednesday afternoon after release of the Fed's "beige book," which found that while economic growth continued in the fall, five of the Fed's 12 districts showed deceleration.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 4 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil fell more than a dollar on Wednesday to the lowest level in more than three months as robust U.S. inventories at the end of the summer driving season further dulled bullish sentiment.

Comex copper remained steady, consolidating Tuesday's sharp gain.

Gold prices retreated in the afternoon on Wednesday as traders cashed in on gains from a rally to four-week highs, prompted by a firmer dollar and weaker oil prices, dealers said.

Petsec accelerates Gulf of Mexico exploration - Chairman

Petsec Energy Ltd (ASX, PSA; ADR's, PSJEY.PK)

Petsec Energy Limited will from next month accelerate its Gulf of Mexico, USA, exploration program in a move which could deliver the Australian company significant additional free cash flow.

The company's exploration plans - including the drilling of up to 11 wells - were outlined today by Petsec's Executive Chairman, Mr Terry Fern, at the annual Good Oil Conference being held in Fremantle, Western Australia.

"Starting in October, the closing months of 2006 will see Petsec target a total of 19-to-36 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent (Bcfe) with the drilling of a significantly increased number of exploration wells in the Gulf region," Mr Fern told the conference.

"If successful, that exploration could generate free cash flow over the next three years to Petsec in the range of US$120 million to US$216 million, based on the current net operating margin of US$6 per million cubic feet of gas," he said.

Mr Fern said Petsec has already enjoyed significant exploration success in 2006. Six wells were drilled in the June half year and five were successful, discovering 21 Bcfe of gas in the Main Pass 18/19 leases in the Gulf of Mexico and in excess of 2.5 million barrels of oil in Block 22/12, Beibu Gulf, China, net to Petsec.

The upshot for Petsec in the half year to 30 June 2006 was a 70% boost in estimated recoverable reserves to 65 Bcfe - compares with 38 Bcfe at the start of the current calendar year, he said...... - Web Site

RESOLUTE

PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT - FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Resolute Mining Limited's consolidated net profit before tax and unrealised treasury losses for the year ended 30 June 2006 is $11.5m (year ended 30 June 2005 : $12.3m profit).

The profit result was enhanced by a strong spot gold price, but this was offset by lower head grades and higher costs at both the Golden Pride and Ravenswood gold mines.

The total Resolute Mining group gold production for the year was 290,749 ounces (2005 : 315,388 ounces) at an average cash cost of $518/oz (2005 : $428/oz). The Golden Pride gold mine in Tanzania, produced 145,043 ounces of gold in the 12 months ended 30 June 2006 at a cash cost of $418/oz (or US$312/oz) and the Ravenswood gold mine in Queensland, Australia, produced 145,706 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $617/oz (or US$461/oz).

The average accounting revenue price achieved per ounce of gold shipped during the year was $657/oz compared to the average gold spot price for the year of $708/oz.

The consolidated net profit before tax and unrealised treasury losses for the half-year ended 30 June 2006 was $13.5m (compared to the $2.0m loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2005). The second half was far more profitable than the first half primarily as a result of the higher average spot price of gold in the second half of the financial year.

The consolidated net loss after tax and unrealised treasury losses for the year ending 30 June 2006 of $77.4m has been adversely impacted by the $114.5m charge relating to unrealised treasury losses. As previously announced on 3 January 2006, due to the introduction on 1 July 2005 of the new Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS), Resolute has been required to charge to its Income Statement the change in the fair value of certain of its financial instruments. This is a non-cash charge to the Income Statement that will predominantly reverse in future reporting periods...... - Web Site

Camden Gas Project-Drilling Program Update

Sydney Gas Ltd is pleased to advise that the third well, Glenlee 12 ("GL12"), of the current 4 well deviated program, has reached TD, and is awaiting fracture stimulation. GL12 is located in the high producing fairway delineated within PPL 4, on the outskirts of Campbelltown, NSW.

GL12 was spudded on the 7 July by Rig 15, in preparation for the larger horsepowered Rig 16, which was required to drill the directional section of the well from 25 August onwards.

GL12 was drilled directionally northward and from the GL2 well site, to fast track production from an area which is presently isolated due to land access.

GL12 has intersected the Upper Permian Illawarra Coal Measures at a vertical depth of approximately 750m, and at a horizontal displacement of approximately 355m.

Once fracture simulated and dewatered, GL12 will be tied into the gas gathering system to produce gas to the Rosalind Park Gas Plant. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street edged higher Tuesday as traders got back to work from a three-day break to find oil prices retreating but little other data to guide them.
The major indexes, which all built on three-month highs, were again subject to low volume that isn't expected to return to normal until later in the week. Investors were largely adjusting their positions while they await the Federal Reserve's next meeting on interest rates, scheduled for September 20.

Oil prices eased. Prices have weakened as Tropical Storm Ernesto missed the Gulf of Mexico, and a possible confrontation with Iran over its nuclear ambitions seemed less likely.

A trio of oil companies led by Chevron Corp. has tapped a petroleum pool deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico that could boost the nation's reserves by more than 50 percent. A test well indicates it could be the biggest new domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay a generation ago. But the vast oil deposit roughly four miles beneath the ocean floor won't significantly reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil and it won't help lower prices at the pump anytime soon.

Copper prices rose Tuesday as the dollar weakened against the yen.

SUPREME COURT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA PROCEEDINGS - RILEY v JUBILEE

Jubilee Mines NL (ASX: JBM) advises that Master Sanderson of the Supreme Court of Western Australia today made a finding in favour of the plaintiff in the amount of $1.856 million in relation to the above legal proceedings.

The Company's legal team is currently reviewing the decision with a view to determining any grounds for appeal. Jubilee's Executive Chairman, Kerry Harmanis, said the Company would vigorously pursue all avenues to appeal the decision in consultation with its legal advisers.

"This decision clearly has no material bearing on any aspects of our Company's operations or activities and relates to a set of one off circumstances over twelve years ago," Mr Harmanis said. - Web Site

URANIUM EXPANSION - YANNARIE AND MINNIE CREEK PROJECTS

Aurora Minerals is exploring for near surface Yeelirrie–type uranium deposits hosted in calcrete at its Yannarie and Minnie Creek Project areas in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.

The large Yeerlirrie deposit, also located in Western Australia, has a reported resource of 30mt at an average grade of 0.15% U3O8 for a total of 52,000 tonnes of contained U3O8. It is hosted in calcrete formed in semi-desert drainages, flanked by extensive granites. The principal zone of mineralization extends over an area of 9000m by 1500m wide by 7m thick, at an average depth of 5m below surface. Yannarie and Minnie Creek projects are located in a similar geological environment.

Aurora has commenced research into Geological Survey of Western Australia and mines department records of previous exploration at Yannarie which indicates that, in the mid 1970s:

Vertical chip samples grading up to 0.09% U3O8 are reported from shallow pitting in the far north west part of the project (refer map) with follow-up reverse circulation drilling intersecting values up to 0.03% U3O8. These results, combined with the Minnie Creek grades, recently announced (see below), show the potential for uranium enrichment in the extensive calcrete drainages in the company’s tenement holdings in the area...... - Web Site

Copeton Shaft samples taken

Two samples of the diamond target zone have now been taken from the Copeton Diamond Shaft and Tunnel.

The tunnel has been extended to over twenty metres length, and a two metre diameter rise (a shaft dug vertically upward) has been put in to sample the overlying diamond target sediments. The sampled sediments were caved into the tunnel, and the timbers of the tunnel roof have now been replaced to maintain safe working conditions. Two samples have been taken.

The lower sample, of about five tonnes, contains one metre of partly consolidated sand with layers of gravels, mixed with half a metre of underlying decomposed granite forming the roof of the tunnel. The sand and gravels, at their base, contain fragments of white decomposed or altered granite.

The upper sample, also of about five tonnes, contains an unknown thickness of similar consolidated sand with layers of gravel, overlain by freely flowing sands.

The samples will be processed at the Company's smaller Copeton processing plant over the next few days.- Web Site

RUSINA IN MAJOR NICKEL DRILL PROGRAM TO DELIVER MAIDEN ACOJE NICKEL LATERITE RESOURCE ESTIMATE

A large continuous exploration drilling program to prove up one of Australasia’s most promising nickel projects has been announced by ASX-listed Rusina Mining Limited.

The two-staged drilling program has commenced this month and will target both the shallow nickel laterites and higher grade deeper nickel sulphide styles at the Acoje project on Luzon Island in the Philippines, leading to the project’s first JORC resource estimate for nickel laterites within the coming December quarter.

"We have set an initial target of between 40-60 million tonnes of laterite @ between 0.9 and 1.2% nickel on the limonites alone at Acoje," Rusina's Managing Director, Mr Robert Gregory, said today.

"A pitting program of between 100 metres and 200 metres interval over an 11 kilometre by one kilometre wide corridor and involving more than 600 pits has now covered half of the extent of the mapped laterite at Acoje," Mr Gregory said.

"Using a 0.9% cutoff, a very encouraging area of 300 hectares of mineralized laterite has been identified and we hope to double this area after pitting results are concluded.

"The Company is now ready to drill in earnest after undertaking an enormous amount of preparatory work this year across the three different styles of mineralisation evident at Acoje," Mr Gregory said..... - Web Site

WOODSIDE

NORTH WEST SHELF VENTURE PHASE V COST REVIEW

The North West Shelf Venture has approved an increase in costs for the Phase V expansion at its onshore gas plant near Karratha, Western Australia.

The project budget, which was initially A$2 billion, has been revised up by 21% to A$2.425 billion following a comprehensive review.

The revision is largely due to higher labour costs in construction contracts awarded during a period of extraordinary international construction market inflation.

The project includes construction of an LNG processing train with an annual capacity of 4.2 million tonnes and associated infrastructure including a second loading berth. The current expansion phase remains on schedule for completion in mid-2008.

The six equal participants in the NWS Venture are: Woodside Energy Ltd. (16.67% and operator); BHP Billiton (North West Shelf) Pty. Ltd. (16.67%); BP Developments Australia Pty. Ltd. (16.67%); Chevron Australia Pty. Ltd. (16.67%); Japan Australia LNG (MIMI) Pty. Ltd. (16.67%); and Shell Development (Australia) Proprietary Limited (16.67%). CNOOC NWS Private Limited is also a member of the North West Shelf Venture and has a 25% interest in the China LNG Joint Venture which was established in December 2004 to accommodate CNOOC and to supply LNG to Guangdong Dapeng LNG. CNOOC does not have an interest in North West Shelf Venture infrastructure. - Web Site

Drilling Report - Wortel-1

The Wortel-1 exploration well is being drilled in the Sampang Sharing Contract, offshore East Java, Indonesia, in 42 metre water depth, approximately 7km west of the Oyong oil and gas field.

Santos, as operator, today advises that the Wortel-1exploration well encountered a gross gas column of 141 metres over the interval 1242-1383 metres in the same Early Pliocene Mundu Formation limestone as the productive reservoir in the nearby Oyong oil & gas field.

The well is located in the Sampang PSC, offshore East Java, Indonesia and is operated by Santos (Sampang) Pty Ltd. It is approximately 7km west of the Oyong oil & gas field in the same PSC.

A drill-stem test was conducted over the interval 1340-1365 metres. The well flowed at a rate of 18.5 million cubic feet per day through a 56/64" choke with a wellhead flowing pressure of 1071 psi. Condensate was produced at a rate of 4 to 5 barrels per million cubic feet. Like Oyong, the gas is sweet with no CO2 or H2S present.

"The results of Wortel-1 are encouraging, however further appraisal will be required to confirm the potential resource", said Santos' Managing Director, John Ellice-Flint.

Following completion of testing operations the Wortel-1 well will be plugged and abandoned as planned..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Closed - Labor Day holiday.

Global stock markets rose Monday, buoyed by optimism for further earnings growth in Europe and on signs that Japanese companies are boosting capital spending to take advantage of future economic expansion.

Oil prices dropped below $69 a barrel Monday, falling below 10-week lows despite continued jitters over the standoff between Iran and the international community over Tehran's nuclear program. The crude contract began its decline Friday after the United Nations failed to impose sanctions on Iran for refusing to stop its nuclear enrichment program. Also easing energy prices were strong inventory data, a more-subdued forecast for this year's hurricane season and a mixed U.S. jobs report - suggesting fuel demand probably won't surge sharply.

Nickel prices took a severe beating in late trade at the London Metal Exchange on Monday, falling over $1,000 from Friday's close. Sellers may have been anticipating a large rise in stocks when figures are released at 0800 GMT on Tuesday.

Copper prices rebounded on Monday to recover and prices were supported by looming supply disruptions.

South Africa and Australia have posted significant declines in the production of gold over the past year.

South Africa's year-on-year decline in production stood at 6.4%. There was a 7.5% decline in the average grade mined, to 4.59 g / ton.

Australia has recorded a 5% production decline for 2005/6, compared to production for the previous year.

On September 1, POE-8 was drilled to a total depth of 1,312 meters, approximately 200 meters below the initially planned depth of 1,100 meters. The deepening of POE-8 was a decision made on the basis of strong indications of hydrocarbons (oil shows and high mud gas readings) encountered while drilling at and below 1,100 meters.

Logging indicates hydrocarbon pay of approximately 2 meters within the F sand, 3 meters within the G sand and 4 meters in a deeper sand at 1,250 meters that has not been flow tested on the concession to date. Log interpretation also suggests that hydrocarbons may be present in shallower zones at 615 meters, 635 meters, 660 meters and 785 meters and in a deeper hydrocarbon zone within a fractured volcanic sill at 1,155 meters.

Whilst this is encouraging, these intervals will require flow testing to determine their economic potential.

As a result of a poor cement job whilst casing the drill hole, current operations involve a remediation programme to clean the well bore. This will be completed over the next few days.

Following the cement remediation programme, the well will be suspended for testing using the smaller workover drilling rig currently working on site.

Workover programme
The first attempt at production optimisation within the Wichian Buri oil field has resulted in stabilised production of approximately 20 barrels per day from the WB-N4 well, achieved at negligible cost by changing out the jet pump for a beam pump. This was based on the knowledge that jet pumps do not operate efficiently on flow rates of less than about 250 bopd. Prior to this, WB-N4 was producing at approximately 5 barrels of oil per day. It is planned to perform this same operation on WB-N6 where similar increases in production are anticipated.- Web Site

Increased Luwumbu Drill Program and Update

The Board of Goldstream is pleased to announce that the Luwumbu Joint Venture has increased the amount of diamond drilling for the current field season by 2,500m, taking the total program to 10,000m.

Goldstream Mining NL, in joint venture with Lonmin plc, is exploring for Platinum Group Element (PGE) mineralisation at Luwumbu in southern Tanzania, East Africa. The Luwumbu Joint Venture enables Lonmin to earn a 70% interest from both Goldstream (90%) & Albidon (10%) by funding all exploration to the completion of a feasibility study.

Nineteen holes have been completed in the current drilling program which commenced in late May, with two rigs operating on double shift, for a total of 8,023m. The drilling has been mainly concentrated in the Nkenja East area to follow up the NDH014 discovery intersection drilled in 2005 (ASX release 11 January 2006). Sections spaced 100m apart, with 1 to 3 holes per section, have been drilled stepping out from NDH014....... - Web Site

HORIZON OIL

HORIZON OIL (HZN) LODGES JUNE 2006 PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT

In accordance with Listing Rule 4.3A, Horizon Oil Limited lodges the Company's report for the year to 30 June 2006.

The financial results for the period are set out in the attached results announcement and preliminary final report.

Key points - finance

Cash on hand at 30 June - US$11.3 million;
AIFRS adopted on 1 July 2005 with US dollars adopted as the functional and reporting currency on the same date; and
BOS International, a subsidiary of the Bank of Scotland, committed to finance the Group’s share of the costs of development of the Maari field. BOS International will provide a US$40 million finance facility incorporating development funding, completion support and hedge instrument funding. The finance facility may be expanded and has been designed to concurrently accommodate the financing requirements of the Group’s other potential development assets. The availability of funding is subject to normal conditions precedent for such finance facilities.

Key points - corporate

Two placements were undertaken during the year, namely;
- Macquarie Bank Limited of 26.7 million shares in June 2005 raising US$2.2 million and increasing ordinary share capital to 560.7 million shares;
- Placement in March 2006 to various investors (predominantly European and Asian institutions), raising US$9.6 million after expenses, increasing share capital by 84.1 million shares to 644.8 million shares; and
The claim against a Group entity in respect of alleged environmental damages at Bayou Choctaw was dismissed, with prejudice, by the 18th Judicial District Court in Louisiana. The Court’s decision has the effect of a final judgment on the merits of the case. The appeal period expired prior to 30 June 2006 with no appeal having been lodged.

Operational highlights

Maari Field, Offshore New Zealand (HZN interest 10.0%)

Financial Investment Decision to proceed with the development of the Company's interest in the Maari field;
Petroleum Mining Permit (PMP 38160) granted for the Maari field, covering an area of 34 sq km. The PMP grants the joint venturers the right to conduct production operations for a period of 22 years, reflecting the long life predicted for production from the main zone at Maari, as well as from shallower and deeper zones which have not yet been fully appraised;
Material project contracts for the wellhead platform, FPSO and drilling were awarded to Clough Limited, Tanker Pacific Offshore Terminals Pte Limited and Ensco Oceanic International Company respectively. The jack-up rig to be used for the development drilling will be the Ensco 107. The rig will be shared with another operator in New Zealand, significantly reducing mobilization/demobilization expense to the Maari joint venture. The contract has also been awarded to the heavy-lift transport vessel Mighty Servant for the dry-tow of the completed WHP in September / October 2007; and
At the end of July 2006 overall project progress on the Maari field development was 20% complete. The project remains on target for production start-up in March 2008.

Block 22/12, Offshore China (HZN interest 30.0%)

The Wei 6-12 South prospect was drilled as on oil discovery and subsequently underwent an extensive appraisal program. This included drill-stem testing which yielded a combined flow rate of 5,750 barrels of oil per day, a twin sidetrack in which 5 cores were cut in the main reservoir units and a second sidetrack to help define the lateral extent of the oil accumulation. Prior to drilling, the prospect was assessed to have mean unrisked potential of 28 million barrels of oil (mmbo) recoverable in its upthrown and downthrown compartments and is one of a cluster of prospects surrounding the Wei 6-12-1 oil discovery well drilled in 2002, with combined recoverable potential of 40 - 50 mmbo;
Log data confirmed three separate gross hydrocarbon columns with individual gross thicknesses of 111 m (Lower Sand Package), 65 m (Middle Sand Package), and 121 m (Upper Sand Package), which collectively represent 95 m of total net hydrocarbon pay, including 80.5 m of net oil pay. The majority of the oil-bearing sands displayed good reservoir quality, with porosities averaging about 20%. Pressure data indicated and subsequent sidetrack drilling confirmed that several of the individual oil sands ran down-dip from the discovery well location and two of the three gross oil columns appeared to extend beyond structural closure as mapped. The oil that was sampled was generally light, mobile and non-viscous; and
Given the significant drilling result at Wei 6-12 South and the consequent upgraded prospectivity in that area, the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) granted a two year extension of the Block 22/12 permit, which will allow the joint venture until 30 September 2008 to complete the exploration phase of the Block.

Bayou Choctaw Prospect, Onshore Louisiana, USA (HZN interest 19.8% surrounding salt dome, 14.0 - 28.5% north of salt dome)

Interpretation of the reprocessed 3D seismic data cube covering the field was finalised in October 2005 leading to selection of the first 3 well locations of the drilling program; and
Australian Mineral Interests No. 1, the first exploitation well located on the north flank of the Bayou Choctaw salt dome, was drilled in early 2006. On production, the well has stabilised at a rate of 50 - 60 bopd, with about 25 - 40 mcfd gas and 80 - 90 barrels of water per day. Two further zones remain in the wellbore behind casing for completion at a later date.

Block 24/05, Lei Dong (HZN interest 100.0%)

Re-processing of 3,200 km of existing seismic over the Block was completed in September 2005 and the results presented to CNOOC. The results were very good in terms of data improvement, evidence of structural and stratigraphic similarities to the neighbouring Weixinan sag and the diversity of exploration plays for drilling; and
Mapping provided a substantial prospect and lead inventory, with high prospect potentials. The significance of this is that Lei Dong Block 24/05 now presents as a high quality exploration play in which to follow up the recent success at Wei 6-12S in Block 22/12.- Web Site

Latest release provides an update on the Rapu Rapu Project in the Philippines following receipt of a Temporary Lifting Order (TLO) granted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on 10 July 2006 and commencement of Stage 3 of the TLO on 24 August 2006.

The TLO permits the plant to operate, take samples and ‘test’ environmental management systems to demonstrate 'best practice'. The granting of the TLO by the DENR followed a comprehensive review process which verified the completion of extensive remedial measures. Additionally, Stage 3 of the TLO permits the processing plant to ramp up progressively to full capacity over the trial period and produce copper and zinc concentrates.

The plant has now achieved 90% of rated capacity and is expected to attain 100% of capacity within a further two days.

Lafayette expects to formalise the lifting of the cease and desist order by applying for, and obtaining, a Permanent Lifting Order (PLO) in due course. In the meantime, Rapu-Rapu Processing, Inc. (RRPI), the Company's Philippine subsidiary, will today apply for a sixty day extension of the TLO. During this period, RRPI will continue normal operations and production of concentrates. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street ended an erratic week with a big advance Friday after the Labor Department said employers added 128,000 jobs in August, signaling that an economic slowdown might not be as severe as some have predicted. U.S. non farm payrolls grew by 128,000 jobs in August and the unemployment rate inched lower to 4.7% in August.

During the past 12 months, wages grew by 3.9 percent. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners roughly 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The report bolstered the view of some on Wall Street that the Federal Reserve might leave rates unchanged when it meets Sept. 20.

The major indexes ended the week with gains.

Oil prices fell below $70 a barrel on Friday, hitting a 10-week low, as Iran's defiance of the U.N. request to stop its nuclear enrichment program didn't lead to immediate sanctions.

Copper futures fell for the first day in three in London after strikers at the world's biggest copper mine (Escondida) returned to work, easing supply constraints of the metal.

Metals trading on Nymex closed early Friday and will remain closed for Monday's Labor Day holiday.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

Notice of General Meeting

.....To enable the Company to take full advantage of any opportunity to increase its ownership of the mine, shareholder approval is now being sought for:

The placement of up to 60 million new shares to sophisticated and professional investors. This approval replaces that given on 28 June, which will expire on 28 September 2006. The shares will be issued at a price of at least 34 cents per share, or 80% of the weighted average price of shares traded in ordinary trade on the 5 trading days prior to the allotment of the shares, if trading has recommenced.

A placement of any or all of the shares will occur only if the Allstate 51.51% interest in the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture becomes available, or if any other favourable transaction can be negotiated to increase Beaconsfield Gold's beneficial interest in the Beaconsfield Mine.
The placement on 30 June 2006 of 24 million shares, at 23 cents per share, to sophisticated and professional investors. This retrospective approval will refresh the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of its share capital, at short notice and without shareholder approval, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Because of the continuing uncertainty regarding timing of the re-opening of the Beaconsfield Mine, and a longer than expected timeframe for a resolution of issues surrounding ownership of the mine, it is critical that Beaconsfield Gold retain the financial capacity and flexibility to react, at short notice, to any opportunity that arises.......

TAKEOVER UPDATE

In response to the announcement made by AuSelect Limited today in respect of its takeover offer for Sedimentary, Sedimentary advises:

Status of the AuSelect Offer
Having regard to the expiry of the pre-bid agreement with Lion Selection Group Limited at the end of today, AuSelect's interest in Sedimentary is only 15.6%.

AuSelect has now advised the market that it will not increase its offer consideration of 2 AuSelect shares for every 9 Sedimentary shares.

This offer was valued at the lower end of the range of values ascribed to Sedimentary shares by the independent expert (KPMG) engaged to opine on the AuSelect offer. For clarity, KPMG valued Sedimentary shares in the range of 22-42 cents each and the value of the AuSelect offer (based on an assessment of the value of AuSelect shares) as in the range of 24-29 cents per Sedimentary share.1

Up until 7:00pm AEST today, AuSelect will have the option of extending the closing date of its offer.

Premier Offer
Under the terms of the merger agreement between Sedimentary and Premier, Premier had until today to confirm it had arranged the finance for its 31 cent per share cash offer for Sedimentary shares.

Premier's Australian based corporate advisers have just advised Sedimentary that Premier will not meet this condition by the close of business today.

Sedimentary's directors are disappointed with this situation and the inability to provide Sedimentary shareholders with full details of the status of Premier’s financing position. Further announcements on this matter will be made as soon as information becomes available.

Other Potential Offers
As permitted by the agreement with Premier, Sedimentary has been continuing discussions with a number of other parties, with whom it had already commenced discussions, with a view to one or more of those parties also making an offer for all Sedimentary shares.

IAMGOLD Updates Buckreef Project Resources and Second Half Exploration Plan

IAMGOLD Corporation is pleased to announce the updated resource estimate for the Buckreef Project located in the Victorian Goldfields Region of northern Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria. This update is a part of a thorough review by the Company of previous work completed at the Buckreef Project prior to the Gallery Gold acquisition closing.

The review has increased our geologic knowledge and identified new styles of mineralization as well as provided for greater understanding of geologic controls and the mineralization continuity. The update resulted in a 28% increase in the indicated resources category. The overall resource of 1.9 million ounces has remained unchanged as this increase is not based on additional drilling beyond March 2006.

"This update has expanded our knowledge and confidence in the continuity of this deposit," commented Joseph Conway, President & CEO of IAMGOLD. "We now have an aggressive exploration program for the remainder of the year on this project, and plan to spend US$4.2 million on over 40,000 meters of drilling with 4 drill rigs onsite, putting the activity level at Buckreef at its highest level ever. The objective of the next phase of our exploration plan is to significantly increase mineable ounces and expand the resource base while focusing on the completion of the feasibility study in the first half of 2007."

The drill program for July to December on the Buckreef Project includes spending US$4.2 million on exploration with 16,000 meters of aircore drilling, 23,800 meters of RC drilling and 1,350 meters of Diamond drilling. This round of drilling is focused primarily at testing extensions to the Busolwa-Buziba portion of the resource which remains open in all directions and includes geophysical targets to the north and east of the known resource.

The mineral resource estimate for Busolwa, Buziba and Buckreef was calculated by Hellman & Schofield Pty Limited, based in Perth, Australia. - Web Site

Resource infill and exploration RC drilling commenced on the Grumesa licence on 27 August 2006, a total of 177 holes have been planned totaling 9,500m.
A third rig (diamond drill rig) will be used to obtain core for additional metallurgical test work and will undertake deeper exploration drilling at both Grumesa and Ayanfuri.

The planned 15,000m drilling is expected to take two months to complete. With the constant flow of results, it is likely that the drill campaign can be extended.

Perseus has a strong tenement holding in the central Ashanti Belt in Ghana. Total JORC - compliant resources are approximately 268,000 ounces of Indicated and 726,000 ounces of Inferred resources. Perseus has commenced feasibility work for two separate operations: the Grumesa feasibility is for a 2Mtpa, 50,000 ozpa heap leach operation; and the Ayanfuri scoping study is for a 2Mtpa 100,000 ozpa CIL operation. Subject to successful feasibility studies, corporate planning would be designed to have mining operations run concurrently.

The drilling programs are designed to convert a significant portion of current Inferred resources to Indicated and to convert, additional zones of mineralisation to JORC-compliant status. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street ended an aimless session barely lower Thursday after investors shrugged off comments about productivity by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and awaited the government's August employment report. The major indexes ended August with gains.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners nearly 5 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil prices increaseded amid continuing political tensions with Iran over its nuclear program.

Copper rose the most in four weeks as U.S. government reports showing improved consumer spending and tame inflation eased concern that a slowdown in new-home construction will curb demand for metals.

Nickel rose in London after inventory fell the most in six weeks, fuelling concern that supply may fail to keep pace with growing demand from stainless- steel makers.

Gold futures climbed Thursday, garnering strength from Iran's continued refusal to bow to U.N. demands that they cease enriching uranium, but prices still ended the month with a loss of 2%.

Silver futures surged to their highest level in three months Thursday, as analysts cited good investment demand a day after the amount of metal held by an exchange-traded fund climbed above 100 million ounces.
