WALL STREET
Wall Street ended a record-breaking week quietly Friday, edging lower after the Labor Department said employers added far fewer jobs than expected last month - just 51,000 jobs last month, well off the 120,000 Wall Street expected. The major indexes all scored big gains for the week.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Oil fell below $60 a barrel on Friday as investors doubted OPEC's resolve to carry out a planned supply cut and fuel inventories swelled in the United States, the world's top consumer.
Base metals were firmer on the LME. December copper rose with help from technical buying, according to analysts.
Gold futures strengthened Friday in volatile trading, as worries about possible North Korean nuclear tests and short covering helped the market snap back from early weakness.

Review of operations
Highlights of operations during the period under review are as follows:
- On 7 July 2006 the Company issued 15,000,000 options to acquire shares in the Company to advides AG in consideration for that company undertaking corporate promotional activities. The options are exercisable at 10 cents per share and expire on 31 May 2007.
- On 2 August 2005, the Company, in joint venture, completed the acquisition of the Coolgardie Gold Project (“CGP”) from the vendors Leviathan Resources Ltd and Herald Resources Ltd.
- Established the Redemption Joint Venture ("RJV") with Committee Bay Resources Ltd, a 50/50 joint venture with Focus Minerals Limited. Committee Bay Resources Limited, through, its 100% merged subsidiary Matador Mining Pty Ltd, is earning a 50% interest in the mining tenements by spending A$8 million on exploration over a 3 year period.
- On 14 September 2005 the Company changed its name to Focus Minerals Limited.
- Following the settlement of the CGP, the RJV acquired a range of mining tenements in the proximity of Coolgardie WA. Included in the transaction was the Three Mile Hill 1.2mtpa CIL treatment plant together with mill spares and other assets. The treatment plant has been maintained on a care and maintenance program since settlement.
- During September 2005, the RJV commenced the first stage of exploration activities including the first comprehensive study of previous exploration data, completed a detailed airborne magnetic survey over the entire project area and conducted approximately 4,500 metres underground diamond drilling on the Empress/Tindals decline.
- Conducted a diamond core drilling programme on the Dreadnought project area with an estimation study concluding approximately 3.54 mt @ an average grade of 2.13g/t Au for an Indicated Resource of 235,000 ozs. Dissolved the Nepean Joint Venture with Consolidated Minerals.
- During April 2006 commenced a feasibility study on recommencing gold production by recommissioning the Three Mile Hill treatment plant. A joint venture determination on the feasibility study is expected during the second quarter of the 2006/2007 financial year.
- During August 2006 entered into agreement with MC Verde Minerals Pty Ltd to evaluate and process mullock dumps at Nepean Nickel Project. The company received a $10,000 licence fee and will receive 30% of the cash surplus from the sale of any nickel concentrate recovered.

Mirage-3 and Mirage-4 Fracture Stimulation Program Update
Mirage-3 and Mirage-4 were facture stimulated in August 2006 using BJ Services equipment mobilised from New Zealand. Following this the wells were placed on pump and clean up flows conducted. Flow lines from each of the wells are in the process of being installed to the Mirage- 1 production facility.
The results of the initial pumping indicate that the wells will only be moderate producers. The Mirage-4 fracture stimulation appears to have been more successful than the Mirage-3 program although the overall performance of both wells is disappointing. Currently Mirage-3 is producing in the order of 30 to 35 BOPD and Mirage-4 35 to 40 BOPD. Indications are that some formation water is being produced with water cut at approximately 60% in Mirage-4 and 70% in Mirage-3. Analysis of the water samples is being undertaken to determine the origin of the water. The full results of the fracture stimulation program will not be known until production levels have stabilised. Modifying pump rates may positively impact on oil production.
The Joint Venture is reviewing the data obtained from this fracture stimulation program to determine the cause of the high water cut and assess the implications on future programs.
The forward program is to continue the clean up flow rates, determine the optimal stabilised flow rates from each well and complete connections to the Mirage-1 production facility........ - Web Site

Uranium exploration - 2006 Programme.
Uranium anomalies identified in airborne survey radiometric data were ground inspected during August and September 2006. The highest uranium anomalism detected by the ground follow-up was at two sites, located about 6 kilometres apart. These are:
- Last Chance uranium anomaly; and
- A1 ("War Loan South") uranium anomaly.
At Last Chance the uranium anomalism is low tenor and interpreted to be sourced primarily in the exposed basement metamorphics. Some mobilization of uranium from the metamorphosed basement into overlying sandy units may be evidenced. The anomaly identified in the airborne survey data may be a zone of enrichment around this contact horizon. Samples of the basement metamorphics were collected for assay from the northern and southern peak anomalies. Assaying will test or confirm the spectrometer readings and test for any other mineralisation with which the elevated uranium may be related.
At the A1 anomaly the highest "spot" reading recovered by ground survey was about 51 ppm uranium from a narrow vein comprising quartz and an amorphous dark grey (possibly haematite) material beside a patch of iron rich tuff. The iron rich tuff may host mineralization (including but not limited to uranium) and samples have been collected for assay.
The project now intends identifying target areas where uranium mineralization, mobilized from source rocks, might accumulate and thereby give rise to exploration targets. - Web Site

Sampling confirms extensive gold anomalism at Antubia Project with values to 8g/t reported.
Castle Minerals Limited (ASX:CDT) is pleased to announce that an infill soil sampling program has confirmed strongly anomalous gold in soils at the Company's Antubia gold project in Ghana.
The sampling has defined an anomalous gold corridor oriented approximately north - south 4.5 kilometres long.
Within this corridor two areas stand out as being of particular importance, named Boizan and Sumiakrom Hill.
At Boizan, eight values above 1g/t gold were reported including values of 8 g/t, 5g/t and 2.5g/t collected as part of the 100m x 25m infill program. A site visit to this area confirms that the area is near the top of a gently sloping hill with no evidence of mining or prospecting having taken place. The Boizan anomaly is approximately 1,000m long and 800m wide.
At Sumiakrom Hill high grade soil values (max. 1.2g/t) were reported on the north side of a small hill and extending north east for over 1,000 metres. Some old workings are evident around the Sumiakrom Hill area.
An RC rig has been booked to drill test these areas in December 2006. This drilling is subject to final approvals being sought and Castle is vigorously pursuing these approvals......- Web Site

ComPLETION of 1st stage of the Mount Isa zinc concentrator upgrade and expansion
Xstrata Zinc today announces that it has successfully completed the first stage of the project to upgrade and expand the Mount Isa zinc concentrator.
This first stage of the project comprised increasing the operating reliability of the old plant through the installation of a new crushing circuit and ore feed system, an enhanced maintenance program with special emphasis on the Heavy Medium plant and the recent commissioning of a new zinc filter plant. This project also included a low cost expansion of throughput capacity by an additional 1.5 million tonnes of ore per annum through the installation of a parallel second hand milling and flotation circuit acquired at a nominal cost.
The combined effect of the increased operating reliability of the old plant plus the new parallel circuit will increase the nominal feeding capacity of the concentrator to 6.5 million tonnes of ore per annum, which represents an improvement of more than 40% over the feed rate achieved in the first nine months of 2006.
Santiago Zaldumbide, Xstrata Zinc CEO said: "The completion of the first stage of the Mount Isa zinc concentrator upgrade and expansion is an important step in improving significantly the vertical integration of Xstrata Zinc. This important milestone together with the second stage of the project –to be completed during 2008- will increase total throughput capacity of the concentrator to 8 million tonnes per year of ore, representing a key transformational step for Xstrata Zinc." - Web Site

WALL STREET
Wall Street rose modestly Thursday, nudging the Dow Jones industrial average to its third straight record high close as investors welcomed upbeat retail sales and jobless claims figures. Stocks pulled back briefly after Charles Plosser, the newly installed president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, signaled that further Fed interest rate hikes may be in the best interests of the economy's long-term performance.
Advancing issues led decliners by roughly 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil prices were up as much as 2.6% near $61/bbl on reports, which were eventually denied, that OPEC agreed to its first production cut in nearly two years.
High-grade copper futures closed sharply higher Thursday, helped by flows back into crude oil and other commodities in general, analysts said. Some short covering occurred after recent declines.
StreetTRACKS Gold Shares , the world's largest gold exchange-traded fund, would be cross-listed in Singapore next week (11 October) in a move to capitalise on Asia's growing fondness for bullion.
GRAVITY DIAMONDS
GRAVITY SET TO BEGIN EVALUATION OF ABNER RANGE KIMBERLITE DISCOVERY
- Large-diameter drill rig to extract 200 tonne bulk sample from ABN 021 kimberlite
- Material to be processed through Merlin's Mark III Heavy Media Separation plant
- Planned helicopter-borne EM survey will test for smaller pipes
***********************************************
Gravity Diamonds Limited (AIM and ASX: GRN) is pleased to report that a large-diameter Calweld drilling rig is expected to arrive on site within the next two weeks to extract a minimum 200 tonne bulk sample from its ABN 021 diamondiferous kimberlite discovery in the Abner Range of the Northern Territory.
This is an important part of the busy 2006 field program being undertaken by the company, the start of which was delayed by an unusually late wet season across the northern part of Australia. Gravity resumed full-scale field operations during July, with personnel currently active on the Abner Range and other project areas throughout the Northern Territory. At Abner Range, road access has been significantly upgraded to enable heavy vehicles to reach both the plateau and the Northern Valley areas. This upgraded access will also facilitate the transport of the bulk sample when excavated.
The Calweld drill rig is currently working on the Merlin diamond mine, about 50 kilometres to the east of Abner Range, and Gravity anticipates it will be relocated to ABN 021 within the next two weeks. Upon excavation, the ABN 021 kimberlite bulk sample will be transported to Merlin where North Australian Diamonds Limited has agreed to process it through its Mark III - HMS (Heavy Media Separation) plant.
The bulk sampling program represents the next phase of Gravity's evaluation of the diamond potential of the ABN 021 kimberlite.
A helicopter-borne transient electromagnetic (HoistEM) survey, employing the latest technology available in Australia, is also scheduled to commence at Abner Range in the next fortnight. This survey is designed to both screen existing unresolved FALCON® gravity targets and identify targets within areas reporting strong kimberlitic indicator minerals results that were previously omitted from the original FALCON® airborne gravity coverage. Similar surveys in the Merlin kimberlite field have highlighted the position of a number of pipes; such pipes may have been undetectable by Gravity's original Abner Range airborne gravity survey.
Elsewhere in the Northern Territory, follow-up sampling in the Cox-Arnold area to the northwest of Abner Range has been completed over areas that previously returned encouraging sampling results. Follow-up sampling has also been completed at the Tee Dee area near the Western Australian border and the Argyle diamond mine.
These samples have been submitted to the Diatech laboratory in Perth for heavy mineral analysis with the results expected during the December quarter.

LATEST DRILLING EXTENDS CARNILYA HILL NICKEL DISCOVERY
Plunge Length of Mineralised System Extended to 550 metres and Open to West
Kambalda nickel mining company Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) today announced a further significant extension to its Carnilya Hill nickel sulphide discovery in the Kambalda Nickel District in Western Australia after intersecting high-tenor mineralisation some 160 metres west of the previously defined limits of mineralisation.
Mincor said today (Thursday) that the Carnilya Hill mineralised system now extended over a plunge length of 550 metres beyond the limits of previous mining and remained open to the west, while ongoing in-fill drilling continued to confirm the continuity of the mineralisation. The latest results come from hole CMD010, which was drilled on a major step-out position some 160 metres west of the previously defined extent of mineralisation and intersected 1.50 metres @ 2.62% nickel from 670.86 metres.
The intersection lies on the overturned basal contact and comprises 0.06 metres of semi-massive sulphides assaying 14.05% nickel overlain by stringer and disseminated sulphides. The core angles indicate that the mineralisation is close to true width........ - Web Site

MORE POSITIVE IRON SAMPLES AT WOOLSHED PROSPECT, MT GIBSON
Prosperity Resources Limited (ASX: PSP) and Mawson West (ASX:MWE) are pleased to announce results following a recent grided rock chip programme on the Woolshed Prospect.
Noteworthy rock chip assay results include values up to 58% iron (Fe) with the majority of samples ranging between 40% and 58% iron.
Prosperity Resources Ltd's Managing Director, Mr Ric Dawson said "This second phase rock chip programme, which is testing an area with a strike length of 4 kilometres, will now progress to assessing the depth dimensions of this iron formation.
Follow up RC drilling will be the next course of activity upon sourcing a suitable drill rig.
"With close proximity to Mt Gibson Iron's deposits and existing road infrastructure, the prospectivity for this area is significant."
Mr Dawson said, "The acquisition of the magnetite resource at Mt Gibson Iron's Extension Hill for $52m, indicates that there is strong interest for iron ore projects in the Mid West region of Western Australia." - Web Site
QUEENSLAND GAS
QGC receivesTakeover Proposal
QGC shareholders should TAKE NO ACTION on takeover proposal from Santos
The Queensland Gas Company (QGC) has received a takeover proposal from Santos. The Board of QGC will evaluate the Santos bid and provide advice to shareholders as soon as practicable.
The Board believes the offer from Santos has been prompted by QGC’s rapid growth over the past years and by the Growth Acceleration Strategy announced on 4 August 2006, which will accelerate further development in the year ahead.
Until a detailed evaluation of the Santos offer can be completed and the market properly informed, the Board strongly advises that QGC shareholders should take no action with respect to the bid.
This bid corroborates the fact that QGC has over the past 2 years built an extremely important strategic position in the Australian gas market with an abundance of certified reserves and proven deliverability. The energy shock coupled with the uncertainties surrounding alternate supplies and concerns on greenhouse gas could see this strategic position multiply in value over a relatively short period........ - Web Site

BEACONSFIELD GOLD
Chairman's Address to EGM
Seldom does a Company Chairman address shareholders in general meeting twice in three months, but, as there has been much recent activity at both an operational and corporate level, I welcome this opportunity to update you on progress since we last met on 28 June.
1 The purpose of this meeting
The purpose of this meeting is explained in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Notes. I would, however, like to briefly address the two specific issues that are the subject of this meeting.
- To renew the approval given by shareholders for the issue of new shares
The principal aim of this meeting is to seek fresh approval for the issue of up to 60 million new shares to sophisticated and professional investors should the opportunity arise to increase our beneficial interest in the Beaconsfield Mine. This approval, which was originally given by shareholders on 28 June 2006, was only able to be granted for a period of three months and expired on 28 September. In order to preserve the Company's ability to act quickly should an opportunity arise, shareholder approval must again be sought at a general meeting. It was not appropriate in the circumstances to request that ASIC grant an extension to the three month period, as there was no formal offer on the table.
- To "refresh" the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of the existing shares
We have also taken the opportunity at this meeting to "refresh" the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of the existing shares on issue without further shareholder approval.
As previously announced, on 30 June 2006 the Company made a placement of 24 million shares, at 23 cents, to sophisticated and professional investors. This placement of approximately 15% of existing shares on issue was made to provide working capital necessary to fund the care and maintenance program at the mine whilst operations were suspended. The additional financial security and the demonstration of strong investor support further enhanced the Company's chances of moving to 100% ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine.
Importantly, for the Company to make another placement prior to 30 June 2007, the 30 June 2006 placement must be approved by shareholders at a general meeting.
Directors believe it is both prudent and necessary that the Company has the ability to raise further capital quickly if circumstances require it.
2 Recent significant events for the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture
Whilst I am on the topic of funding, apart from the 30 June share placement, three other significant events have occurred in the past three months which will or may further improve the Company's financial position.
- Debt due to Tasmanian State Government
Firstly, on 4 July, it was announced that the Tasmanian State Government intended to waive approximately $700,000 of historical stamp duties owed to it by the Joint Venture participants if mining operations recommence.
- Beaconsfield Community Fund
Secondly, on 21 July, the Federal Government announced that the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture's application for a grant, under the Beaconsfield Community Fund, had been accepted. The grant of $4.87 million will assist the Joint Venture to meet supernumerary payroll costs and to further develop the underground mine. This assistance from the Federal Government is welcomed by the Company as an important factor in the recommencement of mine operations.
- Claim under business interruption insurance
Thirdly, the Joint Venture has recently submitted a claim, under its business interruption insurance policy, relating to costs and losses arising from the tragic Anzac Day rock fall. We are presently awaiting a response from the insurance company, and it is not yet possible to estimate the quantum of a successful claim.
3 Corporate developments
I would now like to comment on our continuing efforts to consolidate ownership of the operation into Beaconsfield Gold.
The simple facts of the matter are that:
- The current joint venture ownership structure of the mine hinders successful redevelopment;
- Management of the mine and joint venture on a long term and ongoing basis (over five years now) by a company in administration, as Allstate Explorations NL is, is both unprecedented in the Australian mining industry and counterproductive as far as redevelopment is concerned. In terms of the day-to-day operations and decision making at the mine, Beaconsfield Gold has been concerned for some time that the Mine Manager for Allstate has reported only to the Deed Administrator, an accountant based in Perth. In a normal situation, there would typically be two levels of technical supervision and oversight provided by an experienced Chief Executive Officer and a board that would contain directors with extensive, relevant experience in the mining industry.
- Beaconsfield Gold is best placed to consolidate ownership of the mine.
Recently Allstate attempted to restructure the ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine by formally calling for Expressions of Interest for a possible transaction, including a share placement in Allstate. Beaconsfield Gold welcomed the desire by Allstate to bring over five years of company administration to a close.
Regrettably, I must report that this attempt has apparently come to naught, as evidenced by Allstate's recent announcement that the Expression of Interest Process had been suspended.
Allstate had sought to deny a key element of Beaconsfield Gold's comprehensive pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture Agreement. However, the extensive nature of the Company's pre-emptive rights was confirmed on 8 September 2006 by the Supreme Court of Victoria. Our first right of refusal if Allstate were to dispose of its Joint Venture interest, or subsidiary companies which hold the Joint Venture interest, was never in dispute. Additionally, the Court upheld our view that if Allstate ceased to be a subsidiary of Otter Gold Mines Pty Ltd (as would occur following a significant share placement in Allstate), then Allstate's share in the joint venture must be offered to Beaconsfield Gold at either an agreed price or an expert's valuation.
This decision by the Supreme Court of Victoria has subsequently been appealed by Allstate, which also announced that the plans to restructure Allstate had been suspended pending the outcome of the appeal. No date has yet been set for hearing the appeal. Regardless, Beaconsfield Gold is extremely confident of its legal position.
We continue our attempts to have the Administrator of Allstate enter into meaningful discussions with Beaconsfield Gold that could lead to a consolidation of ownership that could be advantageous to stakeholders. The Administrator's decision to independently pursue a flawed and futile attempt to restructure Allstate rather than to engage constructively with Beaconsfield Gold was, in our opinion, counterproductive.
Should Allstate require additional funds during the mine re-opening, the continuing company administration will make it more difficult for Allstate to raise those funds. The ability to turn to a supportive and loyal shareholder base is one of the key distinguishing features between Beaconsfield Gold and Allstate.
Beaconsfield Gold remains well positioned to acquire the Allstate interest in the Joint Venture, regardless of the transaction required:
- we understand the business,
- we have the necessary funding approved (subject to the outcome of the vote later in this meeting), and
- we have comprehensive pre-emptive rights over Allstate's interest in the joint venture.
Another critical aspect of any restructuring of Allstate or the Joint Venture is the trust yet to be established by Macquarie Bank for the benefit of the Beaconsfield Mine employees.........

Drilling at Kamila, Mercado and Kamila Southeast Extension (SEXT) zones has returned encouraging values ranging to highs of 22.9 g/t gold and 1,795 g/t silver over 4.0 metres (Kamila Inca), 3.32 g/t gold and 1,138 g/t silver over 4.15 metres (Mercado) and 3.40 g/t gold and 1,192 g/t silver over 3.0 metres (SEXT).
Intrepid's President and Chief Executive Officer, Laurence Curtis, stated: "Our results to date at Casposo represent significant gold and silver discoveries which will positively impact resource and exploration focus. We are particularly pleased by the strong gold and silver grades, continuity to depth and the variety of future drill targets."
At Kamila, step-out holes on the Inca Vein have tested mineralized structures to the east of a north-south trending dyke which cuts the Kamila deposit. Holes CA-06-183, -184 and -187) (See Map 1 and Map 2 below) in this campaign have intersected a strongly developed Inca Vein averaging 15 g/t gold equivalent over core lengths of 3.7 to 8.9 metres, extending the potential of the deposit to the southeast. These holes have not yet been incorporated into the Kamila resource estimate. A limited four hole drilling program to infill this zone to a nominal 25 metre spacing has now been completed. Results are pending from these holes..... - Web Site

High-Grade Results Continue at Green Spec
The first results from the final stage of resource drilling at Northwest's Green Spec deposit have returned significant gold and antimony intersections which confirm the continuity of, and extend to a vertical depth of 170m, the high-grade mineralization at the deposit.
Significant intersections from drilling targeting the western extent of the deposit include:
Green Spec
15m grading 20.2 g/t gold
including 6m grading 47.1 g/t gold & 2.84% antimony
(from 148m down-hole)
11m grading 6.4 g/t gold
(from 47m down-hole)
4m grading 11.0 g/t gold and 3.85% antimony
(from 28m down-hole)
Results from resource drilling targeting the eastern extent of the Green Spec deposit are anticipated shortly.
Northwest's 18,000m RC drilling programme directed at a series of exciting new gold targets identified along both the Blue Spec Shear and the newly discovered Red Ribbon Shear is proceeding well. Results will be released to the market as they are available.- Web Site

WALL STREET
Wall Street climbed higher Wednesday, propelling the Dow Jones industrials to their second straight record high close - on increased volume - as investors shrugged off lackluster economic news and grew more optimistic that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates as the economy cools. Investors appeared to take comfort from comments by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke that the slowing housing market could be a drag on the economy, perhaps shaving 1 percent off of gross domestic product growth in the second half this year and into next year.
Oil recouped a small part of yesterday's fall.
Copper futures in New York ended down over 2 percent on Wednesday, in sympathy with steep declines in the energy and precious metals markets, due to the weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data reinforcing concerns over a slowing economy.
Gold futures fell to the lowest since June on speculation a 16-month low in commodity prices will reduce the metal's appeal as a hedge against inflation.

THUNDELARRA EXPLORATION
URANIUM RESULTS: SPINIFEX PROSPECT 6.3% U3O8
The Directors of Thundelarra Exploration Ltd are pleased to announce that the results from the rock chip sampling program at the East Kimberley Spinifex prospect returned assays of up to 6.3% U3O8 confirming the high grade nature of the mineralisation on the prospect. The uranium mineralisation is associated with a breccia zone within the Middle Proterozoic Hensman Sandstone and appears related to the adjacent Revolver Creek fault. Significantly, anomalous gold values (70 parts per billion) also occur with the uranium indicating a possible hypogene process for the mineralising event i.e. the fluids carrying the uranium (and gold) have originated from below and moved up through the sandstone. The source of the uranium may be the underlying and highly prospective unconformity between the Middle Proterozoic Hensman Sandstone and the Lower Proterozoic Revolver Creek Formation.
The Spinifex project consists of two tenements covering 720 square kilometres and is located approximately 50 kilometres north of the Argyle diamond mine, Western Australia.......- Web Site

WALL STREET
The Dow Jones industrial average finally reached new heights Tuesday, extending Wall Street's seven-year recovery with a record closing level after climbing into uncharted territory in trading earlier in the day. Earlier, the Dow crossed its old trading high of 11,750.28, rising up to 11,758.95. Both of the previous records were set Jan. 14, 2000.
Tuesday's advance came on the second straight day that oil and gold prices fell sharply. Oil prices settled at a seven-month low below $59 a barrel Tuesday as rising global supplies, slack demand and a mild Atlantic hurricane season forced geopolitical worries to the backburner.
Advancing issues led decliners by more than 8 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Copper dropped in London for a second consecutive day on speculation a slowdown in the U.S. economy, the world's largest, could hurt demand for commodities including metals. Aluminum and nickel also declined.

The Company has completed 4 diamond drill holes for 372.7m at Gold Crest, with the exploration targeting historically mined lodes as well as soil and trench geochemical highs. Structural understanding of gold mineralisation in the area has been greatly enhanced by evaluation of information gleaned from downhole orientation surveys.... - Web Site
MINOTAUR EXPLORATION
Minotaur Farm-In to Gateway Mining's Surprise Project, Mt Isa Region
Minotaur Exploration (ASX:MEP) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Minotaur Operations Pty Ltd, has entered into a Joint Venture with Gateway Mining (ASX:GML), to explore the Surprise Project in the Cloncurry District of North Queensland for copper and gold.
Surprise comprises two EPM’s and four mining leases located some 90 km north west of Cloncurry and approximately 20 km north-west of the recently announced Universal Resources high grade copper-gold discovery at Cabbage Tree Creek.
Key terms of the JV agreement are;
- Minotaur to spend a minimum $150,000 before it can exit.
- Minotaur may earn up to 75% of the Project by spending a total of $1.0 million over 54 months, in two tranches:
- a first tranche of $0.5 million over 30 months to earn 51% of the Project and
- a second tranche of $0.5 million over a further 24 months to earn 75% of the Project.
Gateway has completed initial exploration comprising stream and soil geochemistry, limited geophysics and shallow drilling on the Surprise project (EPM 9053, EPM 13677, ML 2483, ML 2509, ML 2686, and ML 90102). Results of the surface and near surface work are considered very encouraging and Minotaur will test for deeper targets guided by both structural controls and geophysics. Minotaur will bring geophysical expertise to the Project as one of Australia’s most successful explorers in detecting deeper drill targets........ - Web Site

Hovea 12 Oil Development Well Progress Report
Operations Since Last Report: Drill well from 1,908 meters measured depth to total depth of 2,473 metres. Conduct wireline logging and pressure measurement operations.
Current Operations: Preparing to complete well
Participants in the well: ARC Energy Limited - 50% Origin Energy Developments Pty Ltd - 50%
Hydrocarbon indications: Interpretation of wireline logs indicates a 22 meter oil column above the current field oil-water contact.
Comment: Although the well has encountered the reservoir lower than prognosed, the oil water contact rise in this area of the field is much lower than predicted indicating poor sweep efficiency at this northern end of the Hovea Field. Hovea 12 is therefore well located to assist in the efficient recovery of the reserves in this area of the field and will now be completed for production and tied back to the Hovea production facilities as soon as practicable.- Web Site

POE-3 DEVELOPMENT WELL COMMENCES
The Phase 1 drilling programme at the Wichian Buri Oil Field, onshore Thailand, commenced on 11 July 2006 and is currently progressing with the start-up of drilling POE-3, the 5th well of the planned 7 well programme.
1. POE-6 Exploration Well
Drilling of the POE-6 well has now been completed and the well has been suspended ready to be flow tested using the smaller work over rig as soon as perforation charges arrive on site.
2. POE-3 Development Well
The POE-3 development well is located approximately 0.27 kilometres northeast of the Wichian Buri-1 producing well, which has been the best producing oil well in the field with 11 years of production.
The programme goal for POE-3 is as an infill development well to boost production from the "F" sandstone reservoir within the Wichian Buri Oil Field. Seismic interpretation indicates that POE-3 is located 10 metres updip of the Wichian Buri-1 well and may capture attic reserves not currently being drained by existing production wells. The "G" sandstone reservoir will be a secondary target..... - Web Site

FOX RESOURCES
FOX DRILL CAMPAIGN AT WEST WHUNDO CONTINUES TO EXPAND BASE METAL DEPOSIT
Fox Resources Limited ("Fox") (ASX: FXR) is pleased to announce exploration success from its West Whundo Copper-Zinc (West Whundo) deposit.
Significantly, reverse circulation (RC) drill hole WHRC212 has intersected 13m @ 5.7% copper and 23 g/t silver from 103m down hole depth, including 7m @ 8.7% copper and 37 g/t silver. This hole confirms mineralisation is open and extends to the north west (Figures 1 and 2).
The West Whundo deposit is 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 Whundo Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Copper-Zinc Project area.
The focus of Fox's resource expansion drilling program at West Whundo is to increase the project’s current resource estimates by identifying new open pit mineralisation. An estimated 20,000 drill metres has been completed at the West Whundo and Whundo deposits to date. Mining of shallow high grade copper is well underway at the West Whundo open pit mine.
The recent drilling also intersected additional shallow copper supergene mineralisation between the old Whundo deposit and the West Whundo deposit. Assays will be released as they become available....... - Web Site
GOLD AURA
Drilling Results for Fergusson Island
Gold Aura Limited (GOA) announces that the drilling program at Wapolu on Fergusson Island has been completed with the drilling of three holes for a total of 166.4 metres. The holes were drilled within the Ganiyana Anomaly which includes a gold in soil anomaly and an anomalous clay horizon, both located on the south-western side of the airstrip.
The first hole, UGD001A, was drilled in an anomalous clay area. The hole reached a depth of 36.3 metres before no further penetration could be achieved due to hot gasses and warm water inflow. This intersection is considered to be encouraging as the presence of hot waters and gasses indicates the presence of a circulating hydrothermal system. In other areas at Wapolu and Gameta, these systems have been found to be associated with gold mineralisation. The area now warrants deeper testing with a larger capacity drill rig.
The other two holes, UGD002 and UGD003, were drilled in the Ganiyana gold in soil anomaly where recent surface rock sampling had located gold values of up to 4.56 g/t Au. Both drill holes intersected highly ferruginised and oxidised serpentinised ultramafics, similar to the gold mineralised material present within the Dagwalala resource area located further to the west. Prospective intersections are 20.0 metres (7.8 to 27.8m) in UGD002 and 20.85 metres (0.00 to 20.85m) in UGD003. Samples will be despatched for assay shortly......

INTREPID MINES
2006 Resource/Reserve Audit
Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX:IAU, IXN & ASX:IAU), an international gold and silver production, development and exploration company has filed the current resource/reserve estimates for the Paulsens operation in Australia and the updated in-pit resource estimate for the Kamila-Mercado zones at the Casposo project in Argentina (see Sedar September 28, 2006).
At Paulsens, gold production totaled 86,206 ounces from 325,720 tonnes processed, at an average grade of 8.73 g/t (94% recovery), in the 13 months since commencement of operations through June 30th, 2006. The mine is expected to produce an average of 80,000 ounces of gold per year for the first five years of operations.
An independent audit completed late September, 2006 by Resource Evaluations Pty Ltd ("ResEval") indicates very good reconciliation between the portion of the new resource model mined and mine and mill production to date. Mined resource is three percent lower than the estimated resource. Total resources remaining at June 30th, 2006 (measured and indicated at a cut-off grade of four g/t gold) are 1,023,000 tonnes at an average grade of 10.2 g/t, containing 336, 400 ounces of gold. In addition, 97,134 ounces have been identified as inferred at a grade of 9.1 g/t gold.
ResEval has also estimated a probable reserve of 767,931 tonnes grading 8.53 g/t gold for 210,652 contained ounces of gold plus a measured and indicated resource of 427,000 tonnes grading 8.07 g/t for 100,800 ounces of gold, both remaining unmined at present. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability via detailed design. However, potential exists to incorporate these resources into mine reserves by applying detailed mine planning and design and operations experience in the deposit to them.
In July 2006, Intrepid began the first Paulsens Deep drilling program, designed to extend mine resources beyond the original five year mine plan by extending orebody continuity below 300 metres vertical. A total of 15 holes have been drilled out of 20 planned, from surface to hole depths of 550 metres to intersect the Upper and Lower lodes. Additionally, shallow portions of the Paulsens Deep are being tested from the base of the mine. Results will be incorporated into a new resource estimate for annual reporting at December 31st, 2006
At Casposo in Argentina, an independent updated mineral resource estimate was completed for the Kamila-Mercado zones by Eugene Puritch of P and E Mining Consultants ("P and E") in September, 2006. The in-pit resource estimate (based on a gold equivalent cutoff of 1.40 g/t gold) is 1,691,000 tonnes classified as indicated grading 5.29 g/t gold and 115.4 g/t silver containing 287,200 ounces of gold and 6,270,900 ounces of silver and representing 368,800 ounces of gold equivalent (gold/silver ratio of 77:1).

A similar tonnage of mineral inventory has been established for each cut-off. However this cannot be placed in a resource classification at this stage. It is Marengo’s intention to focus its efforts on establishing sufficient information, to enable for the conversion of as much of this mineral inventory into a resource category as possible, in subsequent resource estimations....... - Web Site
METALLICA MINERALS
Bell Creek South Drilling Results - Metallica to Update Nickel Resource Statement after latest drilling results
Metallica Minerals Limited (ASX Code 'MLM') is please to announce the results of its recently completed infill and step out drilling programme at the Bell South Lease, one of the four main deposits that comprise the NORNICO Nickel project. "The drilling results have confirmed the presence and continuity of high grade nickel cobalt mineralisation within the deposit" the Managing Director of Metallica, Mr Gillies said, "and shows that any future development of the NORNICO project will benefit from a high-grade, easily accessible nickel-cobalt core on which to draw on in its early years,"
Metallica completed 139 holes (BCSL-036 to BCSL-174) totalling 3,199m of RC drilling at the Bell Creek South Lease within a 1.2km by 800m area. The drilling programme was primarily aimed at increasing the resource status of the Bell Creek South Resource from Inferred to an Indicated Resource status as part of Metallica's Pre-Feasibility study for the NORNICO Heap Leach Nickel Project.
The holes were drilled on a nominal 30m by 30m grid to infill areas where previous drilling on a wider 60m by 60m grid intersected zones of nickel mineralisation. Holes were also drilled on the edge of the deposit to close off zones of previously intersected mineralisation.
High-Grade Highlights include:-
- BCSL-048, 14m @ 1.45% Ni and 0.04% Co from 0m
- BCSL-085, 17m @ 1.50% Ni and 0.07% Co from 8m
- BCSL-106, 22m @ 1.94% Ni and 0.21% Co from 0m
- BCSL-107, 22m @ 2.07% Ni and 0.09% Co from 0m
- BCSL-114, 13m @ 1.50% Ni and 0.02% Co from 0m
- BCSL-122, 24m @ 1.48% Ni and 0.02% Co from 0m
- BCSL-130, 13m @ 1.54% Ni and 0.23% Co from 3m
- BCSL-143, 15m @ 1.51% Ni and 0.06% Co from 5m
- BCSL-148, 29m @ 1.40% Ni and 0.06% Co from 4m
- BCSL-171, 24m @ 1.40% Ni and 0.05% Co from 8m
In addition to the RC drilling, thirty-two PQ diamond core holes were completed at the Bell Creek Northwest, North and South prospects (BCDDH-017 to BCDDH-048) for a total of 623m during August. These holes were designed to provide additional geological information on each of the Bell Creek deposits, provide samples for on-going metallurgical testwork and additional bulk density data for the deposits. The holes were also designed to infill areas between existing RC holes to test the geological and resource model for the prospects. Results from the diamond drilling are inline with, and in some cases exceeded, expectations. The higher grade intercepts are listed below.
- BCDDH-028, 34m @ 1.53% Ni and 0.35% Co from 0m
- BCDDH-029, 14m @ 1.64% Ni and 0.03% Co from 14m
- BCDDH-032, 17m @ 2.15% Ni and 0.05% Co from1m
- BCDDH-043, 40m @ 1.40% Ni and 0.04% Co from 8m
- BCDDH-048, 16m @ 2.14% Ni and 0.04% Co from 1m
The RC and diamond core hole locations for Bell Creek South Lease are presented on Figure 1 and a list of significant results are included as Tables 1 and 2.
Drilling results from this current programme will be incorporated in an updated resource estimate for NORNICO which currently stands at 20.76Mt @ 0.78% Ni and 0.04% Co (Inferred) and was based on drilling completed to the end of 2005. Since this last resource estimate, Metallica has drilled 261 RC holes (6,126m) and 32 diamond holes (623m) into the four main NORNICO deposits (Minnamoolka, Bell Creek Northwest, North Lease and South Lease). The updated NORNICO Resource estimate will include a combined total of 729 drill holes. An updated resource statement is expected to be completed by November. - Web Site

WALL STREET
Stocks closed lower for the second straight session Monday after the Dow Jones industrial average flirted briefly early in the day with its all-time high close.
The markets largely shrugged off the day's economic data, which presented a mixed picture of the economy. And stocks were helped, at least initially, by falling oil prices. A barrel of light crude settled at $61.03, down $1.88, on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Trading was volatile as some market players were out for the Yom Kippur holiday.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by roughly 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Oil prices dropped Monday as traders apparently shrugged off worries about whether production cuts by two key producing nations (Venezuela & Nigeria) were harbingers of further restrictions by OPEC members.
Copper prices fell as U.S. manufacturing in August expanded less than analysts' forecast and spending on home construction dropped for a fifth straight month, suggesting demand for the industrial metal may ease.
Teck Cominco and the union representing workers at its Highland Valley copper mine in British Columbia have reached a tentative labor contract thus avoiding a strike, the union said on Sunday.
Gold futures eased Monday as traders weighed expectations for higher gold demand against a drop in energy prices and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economy and interest rate moves.

BENDIGO MINING
Start of commercial production
Bendigo Mining Limited (ASX: BDG) is pleased to report that commercial production at the Company’s Kangaroo Flat Mine commenced as planned on 1 October 2006.
All components of the Kangaroo Flat processing plant are commissioned and operational. The plant has operated up to the design rate of 600,000 t/y, however, initial production will only require it to operate for 75% of available hours to treat 450,000 t/y.
Gravity gold recovery has achieved design rates somewhat quicker than expected with recoveries of 75% achieved from the processing of low-grade material. The flotation and leaching sections of the plant have been successfully commissioned and are planned to increase total gold recovery to around 95%. No adverse metallurgical issues have been experienced. The optimisation of materials handling systems is continuing.
Production is planned to increase over the course of the year from the December quarter with forecast production this financial year of around 70,000 to 90,000 oz of gold.

2006 Annual Report - CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS
I am pleased to present the 2006 Annual Report for Olympia Resources Limited.
The last twelve months have been extremely busy for the Olympia Executive team and the Board. Operations are now focused on three fronts as Olympia moves from explorer to producer. Keysbrook in Western Australia, Harts Range in the Northern Territory and Kalimantan in Indonesia are now effectively stand alone business units incorporating separate management with responsibility for their respective projects.
Over the last six months Kalimantan has emerged as an exciting opportunity for Olympia in Zircon trading and processing. A recent Joint Venture established with an experienced Indonesian company linked to sales contracts with Chinese buyers has allowed the Company to capitalise on Zircon opportunities in Kalimantan with the trading activities already underway.
From a sales perspective the outlook for Zircon remains strong with firm prices and driven to a large extent by the China factor and increased demand for Zircon.
The Company's Keysbrook project is now well advanced and the statutory eight week period for the Public Environmental Review (PER) finished late in August. The PER describes the project proposals, examines the likely environmental effects and the proposed environmental management procedures. The Company’s experienced Keysbrook team have maintained an extensive and on going community factual information program as the project moves through the statutory requirements towards commencement of production.
The Company's world class Harts Range Project has been reassessed during the course of 2006 with positive outcomes, particularly with respect to strong demand for the Harts Range abrasive products. Project capital costs have escalated in line with all mineral processing plants scheduled for construction in Australia; however a positive Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) is imminent which will allow the Company to commence project finance options for production in 2007.
As a final point, since I have taken over the role of Chair of Olympia, I have been greatly impressed by the depth of experience and commitment to the Company’s projects by our Executive teams lead by the Managing Director, Peter Gazzard, not to mention the considerable input provided by my fellow Directors and our strategic partner, PT Sinarco.
It has been a dynamic year for Olympia, which is set to continue. - Web Site

Media Release - Arrow Wins Big in India
Arrow Wins 3 Blocks in Indian CBM III Bid Round
The Directors of Arrow Energy NL (Arrow) are pleased to announce that the Company has been successful in winning three highly prospective exploration blocks in India’s CBM III licensing round.
The Government of India have announced that the Arrow led consortia has been successful in obtaining blocks in the Raj Mahal, Tatapani-Ramkola and Mand-Raigarth coal fields. All three blocks are in partnership with leading Indian gas company GAIL (India) Limited (GAIL) and Swedish infrastructure company Energy Infrastructure Group (EIG). Additionally, in the first two blocks the large Indian Power Company, Tata Power Limited, is also a partner.
The Arrow led consortium had bid on seven of the ten blocks offered in the licence round. As part of the bidding exercise Arrow ranked the blocks from 1 to 10 based on a combination of commercial and technical parameters. The three blocks which were awarded were those ranked 1,3 and 4 by Arrow....... - Web Site
BALLARAT GOLDFIELDS
Ballarat Goldfields Development Plan and Financing Update
Ballarat Goldfields NL (BGF) is pleased to announce that it continues to advance the new development plan for Ballarat East. BGF has a non binding term sheet in place for the provision of a A$100 million delayed draw financing facility which, when combined with current cash, would provide the required A$120 million funding to implement the improved development plan for Ballarat East.
The debt facility is being arranged by RFC Corporate Finance Ltd and is subject to a number of conditions typical of a facility of this nature including; provision at the sole discretion of the Lenders; third party due diligence, which is currently underway; final credit approval and legal documentation. The term sheet does not contemplate BGF entering into any hedging arrangements.
As stated previously, the new development plan for Ballarat East provides greater certainty to production and cash flows albeit by bringing capital development forward. Highlights of the improved development plan (more detail is provided in previous announcements) include:
- greater certainty to achieve higher production rates of around 250,000 ounces of gold per annum (previously 200,000 ounces per annum) with increased flexibility to deliver a consistent production tonnage to the process plant;
- concurrent access to the substantially higher grade gold mineralisation at depth, in the southern and northern areas, by re-locating a proposed ventilation shaft to the southern end of the mine and equipping it for haulage;
- cash operating costs falling below A$300/oz when in full production;
- conservative rates of development for underground access and shaft construction given the successful completion of the North Prince Extended ventilation shaft in 2005 and on-going development experience;
- by-passing potential upper level ore sources, above the base of the historical workings, which are proving to be difficult to access and unreliable for consistent large scale production. These areas may provide a supplemental ore source at modest production rates once full scale production has commenced; and,
- the ability to carry out resource definition drilling well ahead of production.
BGF is committed to the improved development plan for Ballarat East and will provide further details on the debt facility once it is finalised. - Web Site

TAMPAKAN PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY WORK PROGRAM COMPLETED
Indophil Resources NL's pre-feasibility study (PFS) work program on its Tampakan Copper-Gold Project in the southern Philippines has been completed and a report has been delivered to Xstrata Queensland Limited (Xstrata Copper).
The PFS work program confirms that the Tampakan Project is a world class, two billion tonne deposit, containing 11.6 million tonnes of copper and 14.6 million ounces of gold at a 0.3% copper cut-off grade. It also indicates potential to increase the mineral resource within the Project area.
Undertaken at a cost of approximately A$27 million, the PFS work program indicates that the Tampakan Project is robust and is potentially one of the world’s best new large-scale copper-gold mines. The study is based on a mining rate of 30 Mtpa, producing an average of 210,000 tonnes of copper and 218,000 ounces of gold per annum in its first 10 years of operation.
Xstrata Copper holds an option to acquire a 62.5% interest in the Tampakan Project. In line with the option agreement, the report on the pre-feasibility work program has been delivered to Xstrata Copper for review.... - Web Site

URANIUM POTENTIAL AT MURNINNIE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Australasia Gold has recently acquired an interest in the South Australian exploration licence ("EL") No 3542 Murninnie. The ores shipped from the Murninnie mine more than 100 years ago averaged about 10% copper, with variable associated values of silver, bismuth and gold. No drilling has ever been conducted around the mine or along the geochemical anomalies which extend over a total of four kilometres to north and south.
Review of the information provided by the vendors and research within Primary Industry South Australia ("PIRSA") records has indicated the potential for the occurrence of uranium in a number of environments within the Murninnie EL 3542....... - Web Site

....REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Company has focussed on consolidating its established projects, whilst also generating a new concept which has resulted in further ground acquisition in Western Australia. Consolidation has seen the company complete a Scoping Study into development of the Wallbrook gold project, re-define positively its Nickel Rights in the Kalgoorlie region and establish an investment in the independent company Leopard Minerals PLC (Leopard) for the Copper-Gold projects in Central Asia,.
The Wallbrook project is the principle focus for the Company, and during the year work has been directed towards studies into the economic viabilty of the defined resources. A systematic program has involved diamond drilling to acquire typical ore samples which were then subjected to metallurgical testwork for both Heap Leach and CIP test-work, re-evaluation of resource models, pit optimisation and mining studies. Results of this work has been that resources at Wallbrook Hill have been upgraded to 9 million tonnes @ 1.47 g/t for 426,000 ounces, and both Heap Leach and Toll milling scenarios appear to be economically positive. A decision to develop the resources has not been made pending response to a current market sale process that the Company initiated, and continued review of risk factors such as operating and capital cost escalation and gold price movements....... - Web Site

SYDNEY GAS
2006 Annual Report
Chairman's Report
The early years for Sydney Gas have been challenging. However, the year to 30 June 2006 was without doubt the Company’s most important and constructive in its history.
Over the 12 months in review, Sydney Gas has dramatically lifted its production and sales to make the transition from just being an explorer to being a reliable producer as well. The Company's overall result for the year was still a loss of $10.7 million (before tax) $8.5 million (after tax), exacerbated by the costs of defending the Company against the unsolicited Queensland Gas Company offer, but the underlying trend is promising.
Sydney Gas has achieved production, sales and exploration momentum that your Board expects will enable the Company to meet its targets under the joint venture agreement with its partner The Australian Gas Light Company Limited (AGL). Sydney Gas entered into the joint venture when it sold 50 per cent of its production and exploration interests to AGL in November 2005 for $42.3 million and entered a separate 10-year gas off-take contract worth up to in excess of $400 million over the period of the contract. The SGL/AGL Joint Venture's targets are:
- Increasing aggregate natural gas production from the Camden Gas Project;
- Increase Proved (1P) reserves by December 2008 so that Sydney Gas may qualify for further payments from AGL;
- Increase average production rate from future wells by producing from up to three seams; and
- Increase exploration and development activities in the promising Hunter Gas Project.
Sydney Gas shareholders can draw considerable comfort from AGL's position as Australia’s largest gas retailer and operator of the Camden Gas Project on behalf of the joint venture and the fact that the joint venture has arguably Australia's largest energy market, metropolitan Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong, on its doorstep........ - Web Site
