The Commerce Department reported Friday that economic growth during the July-to-September period clocked in at an annual rate of just 1.6 percent - a subpar performance that mostly reflected the deepening housing slump. Investment in homebuilding was cut by the largest amount in 15 years.
The fresh reading on the economy, which fell short of the 2.1 percent pace analysts were forecasting, disappointed economists and rattled investors with the Dow falling 73 points.
The third quarter's performance was the weakest since a 1.2 percent growth rate eked out in the first quarter of 2003, when a nervous nation hunkered down for the start of the Iraq war.
An inflation gauge tied to Friday's report showed that core prices - excluding food and energy - moderated. These prices advanced at a rate of 2.3 percent in the third quarter, which was down from 2.7 percent in the prior quarter.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers, on reduced volume, by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The US dollar fell to near one-month lows against the euro.
Crude oil prices firmed overnight after news of a potential terrorist threat to installations in OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil producer, traders said.
Natural gas futures dipped after EIA Storage Report.
Dwindling stocks pushed zinc to fresh highs on the London Metal Exchange (LME) on Friday, but copper sentiment was dampened by concerns of rising inventory levels in China.
Gold rose in New York, capping the third straight weekly gain after a U.S. report showed economic growth slowed in the third quarter, weakening the dollar and boosting the metal's appeal as an alternative investment.
The Australian share market finished on a negative note Friday - stronger than expected inflation data released on Wednesday has made a rate hike a certainty next month, according to most analysts.

Ground Magnetic Survey Commences at Kodu Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Deposit to Define Along Strike and Intrusive Annulus Targets for Resource Expansion Drilling, EL 1348, Papua New Guinea
Frontier Resources is pleased to announce that it has commenced a ground magnetic geophysical survey at the Kodu copper-gold-molybdenum Deposit (EL 1348) to define along strike and intrusive annulus targets for resource expansion drilling that is planned to commence when the Company’s second drill rig arrives on-site in late 2006. It is anticipated that this survey will substantially assist future drill hole targeting.
The survey is being undertaken to define 'Analytical Signal Anomalies' that reflect the content of the mineral magnetite in the subsurface. Magnetite has been shown to have a good correlation with higher grade copper mineralisation at Kodu, however, it is not a necessity, as the higher grade gold zone at hole BND003 is not associated with such an anomaly......... - Web Site

Chairman's address at the Annual General Meeting
OVERVIEW:
The consistent growth of Amadeus Energy remains our primary goal. In 2006, the Company achieved growth in sales and production, demonstrating clearly that we are continuing to meet that goal.
Highlights of the 2005/06 year include:
I would now like to turn to the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2006, which were released to the market on 4 September 2006.
RESULTS:
I hope that most of you have taken the opportunity to read the Amadeus 2006 Annual Report. I will quickly run through the results for the financial year.
Our US operations, through our successful exploration program and the new acquisitions, have delivered strong results for the period.
In AUD terms, total revenues from sale of oil and gas was A$51.1 million, compared to A$20.1 million last year - an increase of 154%.
Profit before interest and non-cash items of amortisation and depreciation (EBITDA) was A$33.5 million compared to A$19.7 million in the previous period - an increase of 70%.
Profit from ordinary activities after tax was A$9.6 million, compared to A$11.0 million recorded last year. This was lower than the previous year and was impacted by some one-off and non-cash entries we had to record under the new AIFRS accounting standards for the first time this year. These standards have negatively impacted our bottom line with a $2 million charge for our hedge contracts this year. But this will be reversed out by 2008 and we consider it to be a non-cash entry, which in no way reflects the core fundamental profitability of our operations in the US. Notional profit (after adjusting for one-off and non cash items) amounted to $17.6 million, up 151% on the prior year....... - Web Site

ANNUAL REPORT - CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
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 63,000km2.
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 fi rst 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 identifi ed 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........ - Web Site

Annual Report - Managing Director's Report
It is with appreciation that I present the first annual report for ElDore Mining Corporation Limited ("ElDore") and its controlled entities for the financial year ended 30 June 2006.
The year has been very productive, commencing with the successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) and subsequent listing of the Company's shares on the Australian Stock Exchange on 25 October, 2005.
The IPO offering closed oversubscribed by A$1 million and raised a total of A$4 million.
This funding enabled your Company to acquire the right to earn a 65% interest in the Nalesbitan Gold Project in the Philippines and to conduct further intensive exploration at the project that has now led to a mine scoping study.
Following the passing of resolutions by ElDore shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 6 June 2006, ElDore expanded its mineral exploration activities outside of the Philippines through the acquisition of Robust Mines Limited (Robust) in Fiji, along with its three Special Prospecting Licences (SPLs).
Management's initial review of the exploration data for these tenements was extremely positive, leading to the application for two new SPLs by the end of the financial year in the vicinity of the Vatukoula gold mine operated by Emperor Mines Limited.
Nalesbitan Project, Philippines
Location & Ownership
The Nalesbitan Project is situated in the Bicol Peninsula region on the main island of Luzon, approximately 200km east-southeast of Manila. The project consists of fourteen contiguous Mining Claims, covering approximately 11.6 square kilometres, six of which are the subject of a 25-year Mining Lease Contract (MRD-459), covering approximately 4.85 square kilometres, that is in effect until October 2012.
The Nalesbitan Project is owned by Eldore Mining Corporation in the Philippines (EMC), which has entered into a joint venture agreement with Sagacity Holdings (New Zealand) Limited (Sagacity).
Sagacity's interest in the project will increase to 90% in the event Sagacity or its qualified assignee applies for and enters into a Financial or Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA) with the Philippines Government or another arrangement that will deliver similar economic benefits.
In June 2005, ElDore entered into an agreement with Sagacity whereby ElDore will acquire 72.22% of Sagacity’s interest in the project, subject to certain conditions being met, at which stage interests in the net mining revenue of the Nalesbitan Project will be ElDore 65%, Sagacity 25% and EMC 10%.
Exploration Strategy
ElDore's exploration at Nalesbitan has focussed on the following objectives:
Since the beginning of the Company's operations at Nalesbitan in June 2005, ElDore has completed 37 diamond core holes (totaling 4,997.1 metres) and 87 reverse circulation holes (5,508 metres) (see Table 1)..........- Web Site

NEW JORC RESOURCE FOR SANTA RITA EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS
The Santa Rita resource
Mirabela is pleased to announce an updated resource for its 100% owned Santa Rita nickel sulphide deposit. The JORC Global Resource estimate (combined Indicated and Inferred Resources) is:
70.4 million tonnes grading 0.61% Ni and 0.14% Cu
Representing 430,000 tonnes of contained nickel
This new resource represents a 50% increase in the Global Resource over the previous August 2005 announcement (47mt @ 0.62% Ni, 0.16% Cu). 52 million tonnes of the Santa Rita resource is now in JORC Indicated status, a substantial increase in the confidence level of the resource. This Indicated status represents four times the previous drill hole density and is the result of a rigorous audit and verification process under the direction of independent resource consultants RSG Global Consulting Pty Ltd.
This resource upgrade confirms that the Santa Rita project is the largest greenfields nickel sulphide discovery anywhere in the world in the last 10 years and the largest nickel sulphide resource in South America.
A more detailed breakdown of the resource is provided below...... - Web Site

Annual Report - Chairman's Report
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.
We are still working on our PNG product processing/transhipment project which is intended to enable us to substantially reduce future operating costs and these arrangements will take a few more months to complete. We also dual listed "MSC" on the Port Moresby Stock Exchange in PNG as a means of developing future close relations with our northerly neighbour.
We have commissioned our Swan River Pilot Plant located at Northam,WA and kaolin samples have been shipped to various paper and ceramics target customers. Customer feedback is so far very supportive and we expect to have a commercial plant in operation in 2007. Fortunately, the infrastructure challenges are very modest when compared to the major start up hurdles which faced us at Skardon River.These coarse high brightness clays are also much easier to process than the superfine Skardon clays.
Australian China Clays Limited has now formalised its process to seek a listing on the London AIM Market.This process is intended to enable ACC raise substantial new monies to fund its rapid development as well as replenishing MSC liquidity which has been heavily strained with Skardon development costs over the past few years.Assuming this is achieved next year, it will enable both companies to be placed in a sound position. - Web Site

West Cycad-1 Exploration Well Spud - Web Site
EXPLORATION ACTIVITY AND CORPORATE UPDATE
Dear Shareholder, Victoria Petroleum NL is entering an exciting phase of drilling exploration activity in its core South Australia and Queensland Cooper Basin permits with ten wells drilling over the next six months.
Starting in early December 2006, the first of these the ten wells, Wirraway-1, will commence drilling in South Australian permit PEL 104, four kilometres from the recent Growler-1 oil discovery, testing the Wirraway Prospect target of up to 8 million barrels of oil, if oil is present.
Following the drilling of Wirraway-1, considered to have a good chance of exploration success given its proximity to the Growler-1 oil discovery, the drilling rig will then move immediately to the adjoining northern permit PEL 111 to drill Ascender-1 on the Ascender Prospect with its potential for 9 million barrels of oil, if oil is present.
Also during December 2006, the Tomcat Prospect will be drilled in your prospective South Australia Cooper Basin permit PEL 115 by Santos on behalf of Victoria Petroleum NL and its partners. Tomcat-1 will be following up an oil flow of 780 barrels of oil per day from a Santos well drilled in 1993. Should Tomcat-1 well prove that the oil pool discovered by the Santos well extends into PEL 115, this will be a significant outcome for your Company.
While the above exploration drilling is taking place in December in the South Australia portion of the Cooper Basin, across the border in Queensland, your Company will also be participating in the drilling of three wells in ATP 752P.
These wells are Marracoonda-2, Gamma-1 and Nora-1, with potential recoverable oil reserves, if oil is present, in the range of one to six million barrels as interpreted by the operator Bow Energy.
The timing of the drilling schedule of these wells plus four others to follow in the next six months in the Cooper Basin is shown on the drilling schedule along with your Company’s other drilling activity.
The anticipated exploration success in this forthcoming Cooper Basin drilling program will further enhance your Company’s position as a major oil and gas explorer and producer in the Cooper Basin of South Australia and Queensland, a strategy that has been actively pursued and implemented by the Directors of your Company.
The exploration and development success and growth in oil production revenues over the last three years and also the exploration success your Company may experience in the forthcoming exploration drilling program and over the next 12 months, is considered by your Directors not to have been sufficiently recognised by the investment community. We believe that the large number of shares on issue and resultant pricing is a distraction to this recognition...... - Web Site

Annual Report
Chairman's Review
In the year under review, the Company has achieved significant progress in the development of its mineral interests, resulting in the imminent initial production of coal from the Isaac Plains Coal Mine.
The Company's coal and iron ore exploration and development projects are located in Australia and Southern Africa, resulting from its strategy of identifying, acquiring and developing mineral opportunities in geologically world class regions that also possess the broader attributes so critical to successful mine development.
This focus represents the foundation of the Company's plans to establish itself as a long term supplier of quality coal and iron ore resources to the international steel industry.
An important aspect of this process is the establishment of key alliances, which include its existing relationships with American Metals and Coal Industries Inc (AMCI), Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) and increasingly, the major end-users of coal and iron ore raw materials.
In the year under review, the Company has achieved signifi cant progress in the development of its mineral interests, resulting in the imminent initial production of coal from the Isaac Plains Coal Mine in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, acquisition and exploration of a substantial iron ore portfolio in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, the appointment of key coal and iron ore personnel and the establishment of offi ces in Queensland and South Africa.
The expansion of the Company’s exploration and development activities also includes a greater focus on the rich resource potential of Southern Africa and the exciting mineral opportunities in that region which could provide the Company with a multi-region base from which to service key commodity markets. - Web Site

JACK HILLS STAGE 2 PROJECT UPDATE
Murchison Metals advances Stage 2 of Jack Hills Project
Murchison Metals Limited (ASX: MMX) is pleased to announce significant progress with the development of its Jack Hills Stage 2 Project in the Mid West region of Western Australia.
Substantial advances in infrastructure development, marine facilities at Oakajee Port, rail and industrial infrastructure, and environmental work on project locations outside the mine footprint keep Jack Hills Stage 2 on schedule for first shipments in late 2010.
Murchison Metals has already commenced mining at Jack Hills Stage 1, with first shipments of ore through Geraldton Port scheduled for later this year.
The Jack Hills Stage 2 feasibility study is targeting annual production of 25mtpa, with potential to expand.
Murchison Metals Executive Chairman Paul Kopejtka said the latest developments for Jack Hills Stage 2 were critical components of the world scale project.
"With mining at the 1.5mtpa Stage 1 project underway, we are maintaining strong progress for the development of Stage 2," said Mr Kopejtka.
"In particular, we have seen important advances in the development of project infrastructure that will underpin the project."
"We have also had productive negotiations with the State Government on its likely policy position on the development of the rail and port facilities."
Mr Kopejtka said the Jack Hills Stage 2 feasibility study remained on track for completion in mid 2007, along with environmental surveys and other government approvals targeted for completion in late 2007.
An international consortium comprising the engineering arm of South Korean steel giant POSCO, Mitsubishi and Toll Holdings has entered an agreement to consider the development of the new port and rail facilities..... - Web Site

Rio Tinto increases capital management programme to US$7 billion
Rio Tinto has announced today that it will increase its capital management programme to US$7 billion. This is US$3 billion more than the previously announced capital management programme for 2006 and 2007 of US$4 billion. The additional cash return will be made through the buyback of shares between now and the end of 2007.
Rio Tinto's finance director Guy Elliott said, "In today's favourable markets, the Group's high quality assets are generating record cash flows.

First Quarter Activities Report
STUART'S WORK PROGRAM RESULTS IN A 25% INCREASE IN RESERVES
Stuart Petroleum today released its activity report for the first quarter ended 30 September 2006. In commenting on the report, the Managing Director, Mr. Tino Guglielmo noted that reserves had increased by over 25% as a consequence of work conducted during the quarter. "In addition to the increase in reserves, this work will result in increased production performance in the December quarter", he said.
Mr. Guglielmo said that, "Development work at Derrilyn, Revenue and Rimfire, and the outstanding results achieved from the fracture stimulation program at Padulla, mean that production in the December quarter should approximate results in the March and June quarters of 2006.
The improved production performance of the Padulla field following the fracture program has resulted in the booking of 0.42 million barrels of reserves. Results from other activities added a further 0.16 million barrels. Reserves at the end of September, after adjusting for increases net of production, were 2.587 million barrels compared to year-end reserves of 2.157 million barrels".
Mr. Guglielmo noted that increased production would lead to increased income in the December quarter, subject to prices and exchange rates remaining at current levels.
"In addition, as a result of the Padulla reserves increase, the Company is required to write back the 2005/2006 year-end impairment charge of $5.28 million, thereby enhancing 2006/2007 profitability by that amount. This will be reflected in the half-year report scheduled for release in February 2007," he said.
Mr. Guglielmo also noted the market’s renewed interest in gas following the recent announcement indicating a delay of the PNG gas project. He said, "The prospect of the delay could put upward pressure on future gas prices and enhance the economics of the establishment of a gas business for Stuart.
Stuart, with its substantial holdings in the gas prone Cooper Basin, is well placed to participate in any such gas opportunity".
During the quarter, the Company:

The Dow Jones industrials, lifted in part by robust earnings at Exxon Mobil, had their fourth consecutive record high close.
The market was initially inspired by Commerce Department durable goods data that indicated capital spending jumped by the most in more than six years. But stocks then fell on a report from the department that new home prices plunged at its steepest pace since 1970.
Investors were particularly wary after the Federal Reserve said Wednesday it remains concerned about inflation even as the economy is slowing.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1, on slightly reduced volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Zinc rose to a record for a second day in London after Zinifex Ltd., the world's second-largest producer of the metal used to galvanize steel, said its production dropped and demand remains "strong".
Nickel eased, erasing an earlier gain after LME inventory jumped 19 percent to 6,834 tons, the highest since Sept. 13.
Copper gained for the first day in five. Chile's Codelco, the world's biggest copper producer, lost a bid to gain additional time to settle a wage agreement with workers at its largest mine.
Gold gained for the third straight day in New York as a decline in the value of the dollar against the euro - to a three-week low on expectations Europe may raise interest rates faster than the U.S. - boosted the metal's appeal as an alternative investment.

Malachite Resources NL today released its latest Quarterly Activities Report, which shows that the Company's growth strategy is firmly on track.
Malachite is a Sydney-based junior resource company with a focus on exploration for gold, silver and copper in eastern Australia. The release today of the Company's Report on Activities for the September 2006 Quarter shows that Malachite's growth strategy is well on track and that within the next twelve months or so it should be ready to take the next step towards its own development and mining operations.
Commenting on the report, managing director, Garry Lowder, noted:
"We now have very promising projects in all three of our core commodities. In the case of GOLD, we are concentrating on Tooloom, in northeastern NSW, where Newmont is farming in and is providing all funding for a substantial exploration programme that is targeting major gold deposits of the intrusion-related type.
For SILVER we are very focussed on Conrad, in northern NSW, where our recent drilling has shown that the old Conrad silver mine has excellent scope to live again as a modern, high grade polymetallic mine, rich in silver but with significant associated copper, lead, zinc and tin.
Our newest target is COPPER at Mt Lidster, in northwest Queensland, where a small but rich copper resource is our objective for the coming months and will be seen as a first step into the highly productive Mt Isa region."
Dr Lowder added: "Tooloom is probably the ultimate company-maker, but while we wait for that to happen, it will be an interesting tussle between Conrad and Mt Lidster to see which of these two exciting projects can become our first mine."
The Company is planning to raise at least $4 million in November to fund the intensive drilling programmes anticipated at Conrad and Mt Lidster over the next 12 months and to provide working capital to proceed immediately to feasibility once a resource is defined. - Web Site
2006 Annual Report - CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
During the year your Company continued to focus its energies on acquisition and the evaluation of mineral exploration opportunities in Brazil.
Brazil has a long established mining history and is traditionally a large exporter of key industrial commodities such as iron, aluminium and petroleum. However, it also exports significant quantities of a diverse range of other substances which attest to its general mineral wealth. These include niobium, tantalum, copper, gold, ornamental stone, phosphate, manganese, nickel and kaolin. In fact, in 2005, Brazil was the world's largest producer of niobium and ranked second in the production of iron, aluminium, manganese and tantalum1.
Yet, for a country one third larger than Australia, investment in mineral exploration in Brazil in 2005 was one-quarter of that in Australia, being US$162 million versus US$615 million. This immediately demonstrates the potential for return on investment.
Brazil remains a relatively minor producer of gold, in terms of world rankings, having produced around 40 tonnes (approximately 1.3 million ounces) of gold in 2005, whereas Australia, ranked 2nd, produced around 254 tonnes (8.2 million ounces). This further underlines the potential for growth of Brazil’s gold industry, being a direct function of investment dollars (geologically, potential is considered significant). Of Brazil's gold production in 2005, 80% was produced by mining companies, and a substantial 20%, or 250,000 ounces, was produced by private, or garimpeiro, mining operations.
Your Company's activities are mainly centred in the state of Mato Grosso in central west Brazil. Mato Grosso has a gold mining history dating to the Portuguese pioneers in the late 1700s. Today, garimpeiro gold production from the State is the second largest in the country, at around 45,000 ounces per annum. However, modern, company-scale mining in the state is almost non- existent.
There is a clear opportunity to fill this void through the application of modern exploration techniques and knowledge to areas of significant gold mineralisation, for example as demonstrated by areas of widespread and long-lived garimpeiro activity. One such region is the Cuiaba-Pocone district, where the Company has decided to initially focus its efforts.
During the year the Company continued with further drill testing of tailings sands in the Pocone area, completed a drilling program over the Lavrinha prospect in the west of the state, and secured a large landholding in the Cuiaba area through a joint venture with AIM- listed Minmet plc. In addition, the Company has been evaluating opportunities in other states and in other commodities in its ongoing quest for quality projects that have the potential to provide a major discovery and attendant benefits for shareholders.
The past 24 months has been a period of consolidation for the Company in its Brazilian quest. Much has now been learnt by management concerning operating in Brazil and a strong team of in-country consultants and contacts established. The Directors consider that the coming years will see the Company benefit from the foundations now established. - Web Site

Despatch of Annual Report and Notice of Meeting & Proxy
Annual Report - Chairman's Letter
"This has been a good year for the oil industry with oil and gas prices reaching all time highs, however in these boom times not every cloud has a silver lining. Increasing operating and capital costs, rig shortages and difficulties recruiting good people are all part of the phase the industry is in. Antares has had its share of rig delays this year, not unlike many of our competitors, but we have used this to our advantage by putting greater emphasis on building a strong acreage position and high quality prospect inventory."
I am very pleased with the quality of opportunities the technical team in Dallas has put to the Board for approval. These are going to be very exciting wells, with the first in Oyster Creek already drilling. Not every well will be a success, but through a disciplined approach and a diversified portfolio the company has done everything it reasonably can to generate the best chance of enjoying multiple successes.
This year has been one of tightening our focus and completing our transition from a Turkish gas producer to a USA based explorer/producer. As I explained last year, we felt it was imperative to sell our position in Turkey because it was not going to meet our growth objectives. The settlement was very complex and the approval process in Turkey was lengthier than we had hoped. The sale represented a significant profit on our investment. The selling of assets and repositioning of strategies are required in this business to stay profitable. The decision to sell the Turkish subsidiary was a good one, and the move to the USA, we believe, will also be very positive for the company.
I am particularly pleased with our entry into two very large land positions in Shaeffer Ranch and Yellow Rose. These kinds of opportunities to shoot new 3D seismic in proven hydrocarbon provinces are rare, and will underpin the company's success. Access to prospective land is critical in this business. It is the company's strong belief that to properly access good deals in a timely manner the people must be on the ground and developing relationships with land owners and prospective partners. Our decision to base our technical team in Dallas was crucial to acquiring the quality and quantity of opportunities needed to build our prospect inventory.
We have announced a profit this year, and maintain a good cash base for our ongoing programme. We have chosen to reset our convertible notes on the existing terms in order to give us the added flexibility to use these funds to develop successful wells.
We also engaged in a share buy-back programme this year to effectively manage our capital for the benefit of shareholders. This was used in a passive manner, and we successfully acquired approximately 2.5 million shares at below 40 cents.
This next year will be pivotal for Antares, and we believe we can meet our three year objective of growing the market capitalisation of the company very significantly. The Board has a high degree of confidence in the management team, and is looking forward to a very rewarding year to come..... - Web Site

Annual Report - Chairman's Letter
Our efforts towards becoming a successful oil and gas exploration and production company have borne positive results this year and will continue to do so. Not to say that the past year has not also included some frustrations and disappointments. As identified in my letter this time last year, management is pursuing a strategy to position Aurora for significant growth in the future. The portfolio of projects we have put together to date has the potential to deliver significant growth and is discussed in more detail within this report. Overall, I am pleased with our progress and remain very optimistic about the future of our company.
Our initial focus for the development of the Company's oil and gas interests remains in the US, where there is a large established industry that still offers a range of new opportunities, strong domestic markets, far reaching accessible infrastructure, and attractive, constant terms of business.
We are currently engaged in a very active drilling program across our portfolio which has attractive potential for oil, gas and condensate reserves and production. From results to date, we are confident that each of these projects has either established reserves or the potential to deliver significant proven reserves with additional drilling and evaluation. Growth in production and cashflow are the other key results sought from our drilling programs.
Despite the very strong oil and gas markets we have enjoyed since establishing this business early last year, there are various challenges associated with the current environment. In the second half of the financial year to June 2006, the limited availability of suitable drilling rigs and crews for the wells we had planned led to considerable time delays. Our drilling activity has, however, picked up considerably since financial year end, and we expect to have been actively drilling at each of our current four projects before calendar year end. The other major implication of very high overall levels of activity in the industry has been very significant increases in costs in virtually all areas, including rig day rates, pipe, casing, consumables and services.
We have sought to ensure that your company is adequately funded for the various activities planned. Our focus is on using equity, including in due course equity created from profitable operations, to explore and undertake evaluation and initial development at our projects. Once sufficient confidence in the proven reserve base and the plan for development at an individual project has been established, we will look at alternative means to finance development. Clearly this provides leverage against established value and reduces the call on shareholders to fund longer term capital expenditure programs. We appreciate the support provided to date by our shareholders and the efforts of our financial advisors and brokers.
We were very pleased to recently complete the establishment of a US$10 million Finance Facility with BOS International, focused on the development of our reserves at Flour Bluff, our initial US project. This financing is secured against proven reserves at that project and the proceeds available under the Facility will principally be applied towards the development drilling program there.
In the year ahead:
We will continue to review new opportunities in North America. Opportunities in other international jurisdictions will also be considered. Ultimately commitment to projects in other jurisdictions will be a matter of ensuring appropriate structures, including financing structures, to ensure that shareholders retain a clear understanding of the Company's strategy, and risk and return profile.
I expect the year ahead to be exciting with a high level of activity. Our objective is to create value through growth in production, clearer delineation of reserves, successful exploration and the pursuit of new opportunities. - Web Site

QUARTERLY OPERATIONS REPORT - HIGHLIGHTS
Turner River Project
Work this quarter at the company's Turner River Project, 60km south of Port Hedland has extended the known Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) style mineralisation at Orchard Tank and identified a significant number of new geophysical and geochemical anomalies along the VMS belt. The first two diamond drill holes of an initial nine hole program intersected disseminated lead and zinc mineralisation at Orchard Tank.
WADH003 intersected zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation over a 4m down hole interval from 277m. Visual estimates of the zinc and lead sulphide minerals average 10 to 15% over this interval.
WADH002 intersected weak mineralisation and contains a visual estimate of 2% zinc and lead sulphides over a 20m interval from 266m.
During the quarter a Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic (VTEM) survey was flown over 75km of the VMS belt. The survey was very successful with a correlation of anomalies over the known mineralisation at Orchard Tank, Acacia and Discovery as well as the identification of eleven new targets. In addition an orientation induced polarisation (IP) geophysical survey has identified a well defined response at depth at Acacia. Recent RAB drilling at Orchard Well has identified a further two targets.
This quarter De Grey reported a high-grade gold intersection at Orchard Tank. Composite sampling from hole WADH005 intersected 8m at 90.4g/t gold from 192m including 4m at 177g/t gold from 192m. The gold mineralisation is situated on the sheared contact between a talc chlorite schist and dolerite, 110 metres north of the anticipated VMS horizon. There has been relatively little drilling in this area. This intersection will be followed up with additional drilling in the near future.
In the coming quarter a 2,500m diamond drilling program, 13,000m RAB program and 2,000m RC program are planned to extend the understanding of the VMS mineralisation at the known occurrences as well as to scope up new drilling targets.

Annual Report 2006 - MANAGING DIRECTORS LETTER
During the past year your Company has made significant progress towards the development of its key projects. Encouraged by the positive price outlook for both gold and copper, and with funding in place from the recent exercise of listed options, Exco is poised to become a gold producer from the White Dam Project in South Australia, and to recommence feasibility studies on the exciting Cloncurry Copper Project in NW Queensland.
At White Dam in particular there have been a number of important milestones. In January 2006 Exco secured a 100% interest in the project through acquisition of the 40% joint venture interest held by our previous partner Polymetals. Having assumed full management of the project the Company has made the necessary management appointments to expedite the project. In July 2006 a Native Title agreement was successfully negotiated with the Adnyamathanha claimants, and a heap leach process plant was purchased, creating considerable cost and time savings for the project. Work on the final Mining and Rehabilitation Program (MARP) is currently underway and submission of the MARP will clear the way for granting of the mining lease, and application for final project development approvals. Subject to receiving these approvals, and finalising the water supply arrangements for the project, the Company's intention is to process an optimised in-pit oxide resource of 4.3 million tonnes, with a grade of 1.25g/t Au, to produce a total of 115,000 ounces at a rate of 50,000 ounces per annum, commencing early in 2007. Importantly, with minimal capital outlay the project is expected to generate substantial cash flow, which will fund the Company's ongoing activities in both South Australia and Queensland.
In Queensland, the current and forecast market conditions for copper have compelled the Company to revisit the economics of the Cloncurry Copper Project. Having suspended feasibility studies in January 2005 due to the prevailing low copper prices, the previous project model now shows strong cash flows in the current copper price environment. This model must be updated to account for, not only the improved copper price, but also increases in capital and operating expenses over the past 18 months. The ore reserves and mine schedule must also be remodelled to account for changes in resource base, new cut-off grades and re-optimised mine plans. Exco believes that an opportunity exists to take advantage of forecast market conditions for copper including sustained demand, projected supply gaps and a positive forward price outlook. The Company has therefore committed to a scoping study ahead of recommencing feasibility studies in early 2007.
Exco's continuing strategy is based on consolidating existing resources and prospective areas in the district and processing these resources through a central facility in Cloncurry.
Exco remains focused on further exploration and resource development in and around Cloncurry, with the ultimate goal of doubling its resource base. Additional drilling is underway at the promising E1 East project and further testing is planned on many of the Company's existing resources, which typically remain open along strike and at depth. Tenement acquisition is also a focus for the Company. Exco's resource base in the Cloncurry region was recently increased via the acquisition of both Haddington's interests, and the Mt Colin deposit from Matrix Metals. The current total of 26.8 million tonnes contains approximately 278,000 tonnes of copper and 282,000 ounces of gold. Notably the acquisitions also improve the potential for expanding and exploiting existing resources where mineralization extends beyond current mining lease boundaries.
In summary, the Board and Management are fully focused on the immediate development of the White Dam Gold Project and have reinvigorated activities on the Cloncurry Copper Project. Exco has a clear development strategy for its 100% owned project portfolio and is well placed to achieve significant growth in value over the next year...... - Web Site

Mutooroo Mine Development Agreement
CHINESE GROUP IN NEW JOINT VENTURE TO DEVELOP COPPER-COBALT MINE NEAR BROKEN HILL
Havilah Resources NL (Havilah - ASX:HAV) today announced a joint venture with a Chinese minerals group for a feasibility study and development of a mine at Havilah's Mutooroo copper-cobalt deposit, west of Broken Hill in South Australia.
Havilah has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form a Joint Venture with Heilongjiang Resources Limited which could see the Chinese Group fund development of a mine to earn a 50% interest.
Heilongjiang Resources (HJR) is a company formed by the Heilongjiang Provincial Institute of Geological Research, a commercial entity of the Heilongjiang Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources under authority of the Heilongjiang Provincial Government in north-eastern China.
Havilah's Chairman, Dr Bob Johnson, said the HJR group was active in mineral projects in its region, including eastern Russia, and was seeking to acquire mining projects in Australia.
Dr Johnson said the Mutooroo feasibility study - which would cover additional drilling, metallurgy and mining studies - would commence next month.
"The study will be funded by HJR for an initial investment of $3 million, with initial funds already advanced," he said.
"Thereafter HJR will fund 100% of the mine development until production, for a maximum share in the mine output of 50%. Equity will be progressively earned as funds are injected in the project up to the maximum of 50%."
Dr Johnson said the drilling in the feasibility study would be aimed at determining a JORC measured resource and a minimum production schedule of around 10,000 tonnes of contained copper and 1,000 tonnes of contained cobalt per annum....... - Web Site

Bellevue #5 Flows Suprisingly Good
The Bellevue Pilot is 16 km north and updip of the Berwyndale South Pilot. Bellevue #5, the first of all Walloon production well there, flowed 100,000 cfd on its first day rising nett of fuel gas consumed at its pump (estimated to be about 25,000 cfd). The average time to achieve flow rates of this magnitude, on all wells drilled in the Undulla Nose to date, is 13 days. These results are better than prognosed and confirms that the gas province extends north of the Condamine River.
As a result of the very encouraging results from Bellevue Pilot on ATP610P, Queensland Gas Company (QGC) today announced that it has acquired nearly 1,000 hectares of freehold land in the north-west of QGC's Bellevue gasfield.
The land known as 'the Waldron Property' takes QGC's total land holdings in the Surat Basin to 4200 hectares....... - Web Site

Wall Street managed a small gain Wednesday, enough to give the Dow Jones industrial average another record close, after the Federal Reserve stoked some fears of inflation pressures but implied that it's not intent on raising interest rates. The Fed's Open Market Committee kept the nation's benchmark rate unchanged at 5.25 percent for a third straight meeting, but it noted in its accompanying policy statement that readings on inflation have moved higher recently. Stocks waffled after the Fed's decision was released as investors worried that inflation concerns could prompt the central bank to resume its rate increases in the future.
The market had little reaction to a report early in the session from the National Association of Realtors that existing home sales declined 1.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted sales pace of 6.18 million units, marking the slowest sales rate since January 2004. Also, the median price of a home registered a sharp drop.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on increased volume by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Light, sweet crude settled up $2.05 at $61.40 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after a weekly Energy Department report showed an unexpected drop in crude inventories. Meanwhile, sentiment has grown in recent days that OPEC production cuts might help shore up oil prices.
Copper dropped for a fourth straight trading session in London after stockpiles rose to their highest in more than six weeks, showing a supply shortage may be easing. Nickel also fell as inventory gained.
Zinc climbed to a record in London on speculation that demand for the metal used to galvanize steel will keep outpacing supply. Lead also rose to its highest ever.
Gold rallied in New York, erasing earlier losses, after a gain in oil prices increased the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against inflation.
Australia - the inflation numbers released yesterday will almost certainly prompt another hike in the cash rate. A November cash rate rise to 6.25per cent would be the seventh consecutive increase since 2002 and would push the standard mortgage rate up to 8.05per cent, a level that has not been exceeded since January 1997 and was only equalled briefly in late 2000 and early 2001.
Despite declining petrol prices, the overall consumer price index rose 0.9 per cent for the quarter ending in September to peg the annual rate at 3.9 per cent, well outside the Reserve Bank's comfort zone of 2-3 per cent per annum. Food costs were by far the biggest driver of the rise. Household food prices jumped 9.9 per cent, with fruit alone becoming 20.5 per cent dearer this quarter and nearly doubling in price over the past 12 months - though the cost of bananas has already begun to drop.

Major New Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum Mineralised System Defined Soils to 1.08g/t Gold +1030ppm Copper, in 275m averaging 0.28g/t Gold +545ppm Copper,
Located in the North of a 5.5km long Copper in Stream Sediment Anomaly, Bukuam Prospect, East New Britain, Papua New Guinea
Frontier Resources is pleased to announce that a grid-based soil sampling program conducted at the Bukuam Prospect (EL 1351) has defined a major, coherent and relatively cohesive zone of copper, silver and molybdenum in excess of 1,400m long that contains a number of strongly gold anomalous zones. The highest assays from the soils were 1.08g/t gold and 1030ppm copper at the eastern end of line 11400N. These peak values are contained in the last of 11 x 25m downline spaced samples representing the 275m in soils averaging 0.28g/t gold + 545ppm copper (incl. 150m zone averaging 0.42g/t gold) that is open to the north, east and south. Jarosite clay, that possibly represents alteration associated with a porphyry copper intrusion, is discernable in the area from Aster satellite data interpretation and generally supports the geochemical data.
There is also a >1,500m long and 200m wide silver +/- gold anomaly located immediately west of and parallel to the above noted anomaly. This is coincident with the Kapea Shear Zone, where historic trenches in silicate-sulphide skarns assayed 205m grading 1.9g/t (including 5m of 13.1g/t), 10m of 5.1g/t and 70m of 1.7g/t gold. Theses trenches are located along strike of this soil anomaly about 300m south of the grid. There has been no exploration conducted at Bukuam for about 18 years...... - Web Site

Development/Commissioning Activities
With the bulk of the construction activity completed during the previous quarter, commissioning work was initiated during the current quarter.
- Commissioning of the fixed crushing circuit consisting of vertical shaft impactor, Cedar Rapids screens, lime and cement silos, agglomerator and stacking conveyors carried out with representatives of the equipment manufacturers onsite.
- Commissioning identified some areas of the circuit that required modifications. These include changes to discharge chute for better product flow, variations to conveyor belt speeds, changes to the power supply control sequence. These tasks are now being carried out.
- The commissioning provided the minus 20mm material suitable for the drainage layer that is constructed under the heap leach ore material and this drainage layer is now in place over the initial leach pad area of 24,000m2.
- Material for the commissioning test was obtained from the northern end of the pit and this has now paved the way for the construction of the ramp into the higher grade ore material above rl 490 within the pit.
- As a result of the EPA visit in July, Macmin was required to provide additional data and plans on the construction and operation of its waste dump disposal area and an independent assessment of the financial assurance calculations required to determine the level of monies held in bond by the EPA to cover rehabilitation expenses. Independent consultant input was required and to-date, not all reports have been received due to consultant workload. This has delayed the setting of conditions for the 'environmental authority' that will allow mining to proceed.
- The storm containment dam wall is progressing with the top of the wall being now approximately 100m long. Blasting in the dam to produce benign large rocks for a leach drainage layer under the waste rock dump has been carried out.
- An independent review of the Twin Hills Safety Management Plan was carried out during the quarter to ensure that operational procedures meet with statutory requirements.
- The 100 tonne Komatsu excavator is now on-site and working with the dump trucks moving material for the storm dam wall construction.
- With the delay encountered in starting full scale mining, which has prevented heap construction and solution irrigation, thus delaying commissioning of the electrowinning plant, the current development schedule sees the commencement of silver production in the first quarter of 2007.

Tunkillia Oxide Gold - Drilling Results
Summary
Minotaur Exploration Limited (ASX:MEP) has completed a program of shallow RC drilling in the central and northern parts of the Area 223 gold deposit at Tunkillia. The program was designed to test the extent of gold mineralisation in the “oxide” zone above and beyond known fresh-rock mineralisation, at depths of less than 70m.
Drilling, in the area tested, outlined what appears to be a coherent oxide gold capping to the Tunkillia mineralisation. Significant intercepts are:
Note: EOH (end of hole) refers to drilling that finished in mineralisation.
Much of the oxide zone mineralisation remains open along strike and the drilling at Area 223 has highlighted the potential for a significantly enhanced oxide gold resource at shallower depths than previously recognised.....

SUGARLOAF-1 WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORT
Aurora Oil & Gas Limited advises that at 6am Texas time on 24th October 2006 the Sugarloaf- 1 exploration well, located in the onshore Gulf Coast Basin in Texas, USA, was drilling ahead in 6 1/2 inch hole at a depth of 17,440 feet (5,317 metres).
Since the last report on 18th October 2006, 7 5/8 inch liner was tied back into the 9 5/8 inch casing set at 14,480 feet (4,415 metres) and cemented to a depth of 17,000 feet (5,183 metres). Subsequently the well drilled 440 feet (134 metres) of Cretaceous aged limestone to the present depth of 17,440 feet.
The upper part of the primary Hosston Formation target is expected to be reached within the next few days. As previously advised, based on seismic data and an offset well the Hosston Formation is anticipated to consist of more than 4,000 feet (1,220 metres) of inter-bedded sandstones and shales with the potential for multiple prospective intervals.
The proposed total depth of 21,000 feet (6,400 metres) is expected to be reached during November assuming trouble-free drilling

Annual Report - Chairman's REPORT
The past year has provided an opportunity for View to consolidate its position and clearly define it’s objectives through strategic planning. The company has been progressing through a transitional phase within a vibrant and exciting market.
"Building on solid assets at both the Bronzewing Gold Project and the Carnilya Hill nickel mine, management and the Board have focused on delivering viable projects that will under-pin the company as it becomes a producing miner."
These assets can quickly become productive as all the necessary infrastructure is in place to mine and process the ore, giving View a significant competitive edge in the race for aspiring miners to transform into producing companies.
In the current resource boom these strong fundamentals will support the company as it progresses towards its strategic goal of becoming a mid-tier mining house. View aims to be in a position where the shareholders can gain substantially from its future growth.
There were some changes during the year at board level. I joined as Chairman along with Gerrit de Nys, who represents our major shareholder Austral-Asia Resources a member of the IMC Group. Tim Gooch joined the board in May as Managing Director.
The additions to the Board and appointment of key management have seen renewed drive and commitment within the company that augurs well for the work ahead.
Only through hard work and dedication will View realise its goals and I’m happy to say that I believe we have found the right ingredients to achieve this. I would like to thank the management team and my board for their efforts in this regard and we look forward to a successful year ahead as we develop these and other projects.
View is on target to become both a gold and nickel producer in 2007, generating cash to support programs of exploration, acquisition and consolidation. These are exciting times and View is well placed to fully capitalise on its opportunities....... - Web Site

Wall Street closed mixed Tuesday as investors awaited the results of this week's Federal Reserve meeting. Modest gains in the Dow Jones industrial average were enough for the index to set new trading and closing records.
A report from the Richmond Fed might have stirred some concern among investors about how quickly the economy might be slowing. The Richmond Fed found that manufacturing activity in the central Atlantic region has been flat to slightly lower this month.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 9 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Oil prices crept higher Tuesday when chilly weather draped the East Coast and traders awaited fresh U.S. government data on domestic fuel inventories.
Copper dropped to the lowest price in more than a week after stockpiles of the metal used in wires and pipes jumped the most in six months, indicating a supply squeeze may be easing.
Other base metals ended the session on the LME softer as the markets sought direction and attention focused on the forthcoming U.S. Federal Reserve decision on interest rates, traders said.
Gold futures closed higher Tuesday, scoring their first gain in three sessions with oil prices strengthening on the eve of U.S. supply data and the dollar slightly weaker as the Federal Reserve met to discuss interest rates.

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 & AUST Ni CONFERENCE PRESENTATION
ANNUAL REPORT 2006 - Chairman's Report
It is with great pleasure that I report to you an increased profit of $15 .9 million for the 2006 year . The Company continues to expand its production at both mine sites despite some significant operational difficulties .
The premature closure of the open pit at Sally Malay in January due to a rockfall required an accelerated move to underground mining which was achieved through the excellent work of our mine management team . We were indeed fortunate that despite this problem we avoided serious injury to any personnel . We are now sourcing ore 100% from underground and achieving excellent production results .
The establishment of the paste plant at Lanfranchi has been an excellent achievement resulting in increased production figures so that Lanfranchi is becoming a major contributor to our bottom line .
Our operational staff, under the leadership of Richard Jordinson, deserves our thanks and praise for their achievements .
The market for nickel was extremely strong during the year . Whilst this has been beneficial for our operations the full benefit of these prices was muted as a result of nickel hedging positions of the Company which were taken as a result of the requirements of our bankers . We have continued to deliver into these hedge positions and have reduced our total tonnage of hedged nickel to less than 5,000 tonnes averaging US$12,300 per tonne . It is generally agreed by market commentators that the outlook is for continued strong prices for a further twelve to eighteen months .
The Company continues to seek growth through exploration, acquisitions and joint ventures . We raised further funds from shareholders during the year to enable us to pursue these opportunities . To that effect we earned a 60% interest in the Copernicus Project which has increased the resource available to our Sally Malay mill . In addition our exploration activities have extended that resource with success on the Copernicus Deeps . We will continue to build on our resource base in the coming year and hope to be able to report further successes in the near future .
The development of Sally Malay into a profitable mining company is a tribute to the continued dedication and diligent efforts of our staff under the leadership of our Managing Director Peter Harold . I particularly thank Peter and the team for their efforts in developing the Company..... - Web Site

REMARKABLE SHALLOW 4m @ 49.2% HM INTERCEPT ON 4km MAGNETIC TARGET AT COOLJARLOO NORTH
Following its successful mineral sand exploration at Cooljarloo in the North Perth Basin, Image Resources has completed an 83 line-km detailed ground magnetic survey at its 100%-owned tenement at Cooljarloo North about 5km north of the Cooljarloo JV. Four high priority heavy mineral (HM) targets have been identified with an aggregate strike length of more than 12km (see attached map). Historical drilling results from this area have confirmed significant, shallow HM intersections coincident with the magnetic targets (see Table 1and attached sections, note results are not available for all drill holes).
Target 1 is a well defined ground magnetic anomaly (average amplitude 3.3nT) some 1.3km in length, which forms part of a 4km-long aeromagnetic target (ASX release 27 March 2006) with a very high-grade intersection in drill hole JTN 5280 of 8m @ 28.1% HM from 6m, including 4m @ 49.2% HM from 6m. This is the highest grade encountered to date by Image in the Cooljarloo area.
Target 2 is 4km in length and 400m in width with magnetic amplitudes of 2.9-3.3nT. Previous drilling on approximately 400m line spacings has confirmed significant mineralisation over the 4km strike with best intersections of 8m @ 11.9% HM from 3m in drillhole HR 574 and 6m @ 15.3% HM from 13.5m in drillhole HR 767.
The dimensions of Targets 3 and 4 are 1.1km x 350m (amplitude 1.5nT) and 3.3km x 150m (amplitude 1.9nT) respectively. Previous drilling appears to be limited to the northern end of Target 3 with a best intersection of 3m @ 11.4% HM from 18m in drill hole HR 600...... - Web Site

BEAVER LAKE CLAIM ADDED TO THUNDER BAY NORTH PROJECT IN CANADA AS THE COMPANY PREPARES TO DRILL MAGNETIC TARGETS
Magma Metals (Canada) Limited (Magma), a wholly owned subsidiary of Magma Metals Limited, has reached agreement on an Option to Purchase arrangement with two private individuals for the Beaver Lake Claim adjacent to its Thunder Bay North project in northwest Ontario, Canada (Figures 1 and 2). The Beaver Lake Claim contains a large intense “bullseye” magnetic anomaly approximately 1km southeast of the Current Lake magnetic anomaly. The Current Lake anomaly is interpreted to reflect the source of Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd-Au mineralised boulders found on the lake shores (Figures 3 and 4).
Under the terms of the Option to Purchase agreement, Magma can acquire a 100% interest in the Mining Claim for C$1 million at any time within five years. Magma will make staged payments to the vendors over the five year period of up to C$110,000, and must make a minimum payment of C$10,000 and exploration expenditure of C$40,000 within 12 months before it can withdraw from the arrangement.
Geophysical modelling is in progress to determine the best site for a drill hole to test the anomaly. Drill holes to test the magnetic anomaly beneath Current Lake have been designed (Figure 3) and approximately 1,500m of diamond drilling is planned to commence in the December quarter. Drilling of the Beaver Lake anomaly will be undertaken during the same program..... - Web Site

Third Quarter Activities Report - CEO COMMENTS
During the Quarter, ROC became a different company. Daily net oil production averaged slightly in excess of 11,0001 BOPD, compared to virtually no production at the beginning of the year. Gross sales revenue increased to $63.4 million compared to $5.1 million in 1Q 2006.
With a significant amount of this new production and revenue coming from two ROC-operated fields in China and with the successful appraisal during the Quarter of a potentially commercial, ROC-operated, oil discovery in another part of that country, ROC's profile in China has increased significantly.
ROC's profile in Angola is also about to change. The Company negotiated a two-year drilling rig contract which was signed post-Quarter. As a result, ROC can move forward to deliver on its commitment to start a ground-breaking exploration drilling campaign onshore Angola in 1H 2007, the first in more than 30 years.
In Australia, the reservoir performance at the ROC-operated Cliff Head Oil Field performed at the higher end of expectations, thereby providing a valuable underpinning of the Company’s overall revenue stream.
As ROC emerges from a very eventful Quarter, the Company finds itself with an array of portfolio activities that is unique among western, publicly listed, oil companies - and one that sets the scene for sustained growth in the near, medium and long term future......- Web Site
Exploration Dirlling Update Offshore Mauritania
Further to its Stock Exchange Release on 17 October 2006 regarding the Dana-operated Aigrette-1 exploration well in Block 7, ROC advises that the well has been drilled to a depth of 2,809 metres where the 13 3/8" inch casing was run and set. As at 0600 hours (local time) on 23 October preparations were underway to drill ahead in 12 1/4" inch hole.

CUTTER-1 EXPLORATION WELL UPDATE
Tap Oil Limited provides the following operational information on the drilling of the Cutter-1 exploration well offshore New Zealand.
Location
Cutter-1 is located in PEP 38259, with a surface location approximately 23km offshore east of Oamaru, New Zealand in 63 metres of water. Cutter-1 will be drilled as a vertical well to a target depth of approximately 3,000m.
Progress
As of today at 06:00 hours NZDT, the Cutter-1 well had drilled to 1,762 metres and was proceeding as programmed.
Tap Comment
The Cutter-1 well is designed to explore for hydrocarbons within the Shag Point Formation. The well is expected to reach the proposed total vertical depth in the next two weeks. - Web Site
Priam-1 Exploration Well Update
Tap Oil Limited provides the following operational information on the Priam-1 exploration well.
Location
The Priam-1 well is the third of three deviated wells in Production Licence TL/6 to be drilled from a single surface location.
Priam-1 was drilled as a deviated well to a target approximately 1.5 km to the northeast of this location.
Progress
As of Sunday (22nd October 2006), the Priam-1 well had drilled a total depth of 1,868.7 metres TVD. No hydrocarbons were encountered at the primary objective, the Double Island Sandstone.
Tap Comment
Priam-1 successfully intersected the shallower known oil reservoir of the Agincourt field, with hydrocarbon contacts consistent with production history. However the majority of the oil is expected to be recovered from existing wells, so Priam-1 is not required as a producer.
The well tested a four way dip closure at the deeper Double Island Sandstone primary objective which did not contain any hydrocarbons.
The well will now be plugged and abandoned.
The Ensco-67 will now move on to drill West Cycad-1, also in the Harriet Joint Venture. - Web Site

Small Option Study for Mehdiabad Zinc Project
Union Resources Limited (Union) advises that the company has now, in association with its financial advisors, completed a review of the potential to finance the “Optimum Case” development of the Mehdiabad Zinc Project in Iran, which is one of the largest untapped zinc deposit in the world.
The “Optimum Case” development, recommended in the Feasibility Study Report received in May 2006 from Aker Kvaerner Australia (AKAU), involves the construction of a major open cut mine and a very large integrated plant capable of processing sufficient oxide and sulphide ore to produce up to 400,000 tonnes per annum of zinc metal, 100,000 tonnes per annum of lead metal and 7 million ounces per annum of silver, over a mine life of 20-40 years.
AKAU estimated that the total capital cost of this “Optimum Case” will be in the order US$1.6 billion.
The attractiveness of the “Optimum Case” development is the indicative long term operation cost of only US$290 per tonne of zinc, after lead/silver credits.
However, the review has indicated that the capital cost required could be difficult to finance at this time in Iran.
Therefore, the Company is considering whether the best way to develop the Project is to stage the development, thereby reducing the initial capital cost of the Project.
Towards this objective, Union has commenced a scoping study into a number of potential first stage options for the development of the Project.
The objective of the scoping study is to identify the option that offers the best financial return, and at the same time would substantially reduce capital costs.
Union is mindful that the option chosen should also maintain the longer term economic viability of the Project, and not negatively impact the long term potential of this major project.
The scoping study will involve a number of consultants, and Union will advise on the progress of the studies as they proceed.....- Web Site

Wall Street extended its October rally Monday as investors grew more confident about upcoming earnings reports and as a decline in oil bolstered hopes for higher consumer spending.
Treasury bonds fell on speculation the Fed will keep its benchmark rate at 5.25 percent, which is still at its highest level in more than five years. Bonds fell, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rising to 4.83 percent form 4.79 percent on Friday.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Doubts that OPEC members would follow Saudi Arabia's lead to curb output pushed a barrel of light sweet crude lower by 52 cents to $58.81 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Copper fell to the lowest in more than a week in New York as a slowdown in the U.S. housing market spurred speculation that demand for the metal will be reduced.
Gold in New York fell the most in two weeks as a gain in the value of the dollar against the euro reduced the metal's appeal as an alternative investment.
DRILLING TO COMMENCE AT MT NAKRU
October 23, 2006 - Vancouver, BC - New Guinea Gold Corporation ("the Company or NGG") - announces further information on the Company's Kanon Resources Ltd. Mt. Nakru project EL 1043 ("Kanon") in Papua New Guinea. Kanon is owned 50% Vangold and 50% NGG. The Mt Nakru property is beneficially owned 25% by Vangold and 75% by NGG.
Mr. Bob McNeil, President and CEO of NGG, has reported that a drill rig is currently being mobilized to the Mt Naku site and is expected to be drilling with the next two weeks. Mr. McNeil said that the rig will begin drilling at the Nakru 1 prospect where an assessment of current and previous trenching suggests that a structural zone over 1km in length and 300m in width contains widespread gold over 0.1g/t and sporadic gold above 0.5 g/t. (See attached map). Bulldozer trench results from northeast to southwest were:
The initial drilling will test the zone of 35 metres at 7.26 g/t gold .
The attached map shows the known extent of copper and gold anomalism in auger drill soils at Nakru 1 and the copper/gold/molybdenum values in rock samples collected in creeks. The initial soil sampling program did not cover all of the eastern gold zone, including most of the above trench results and will be extended to cover this zone in the future.
The complete data of trenching results was disclosed is a news release dated May 25, 2006 which may be accessed at www.newguineagold.ca or www.sedar.com .
The Mt Nakru copper-gold system which is located in West New Britain, is a large acid-intermediate, volcanic-intrusive complex which covers 30km2, much of which is mineralised to a greater or lesser degree. The complex marks the topographically highest point within the Kulu-Awit corridor. Four separate prospects have been identified with significant copper and gold values found in outcrop, trench or drill samples, along with significant silver, molybdenum and zinc grades. The prospects occur within a 5 km diameter circular topographic feature, which may represent a caldera type structure or a zone of doming and tensional fracturing above a rising intrusion. The circular feature is intersected by N-E and N-W trending lineaments which become important controls for the focussing of mineralisation. Airborne geophysics and stream geochemistry indicate the system may be larger than the area explored to date. Mt. Nakru 1 is the most advanced of the four prospects and has the best potential to host a large Cu-Au deposit. Deep auger soil sampling, more than 10km of hand and bulldozer trenching and nine drill holes have been completed.

CAMDEN GAS PROJECT SURFACE TO IN-SEAM (SIS) DRILLING PROGRAM
Sydney Gas Ltd is pleased to advise that the Camden Joint Venture has initiated a Surface to In-Seam well program, with the commencement of the first SIS well at the Camden Gas Project. The Joint Venture is preparing a business case for the drilling of up to a further five SIS wells in this financial year.
The SIS drilling program has commenced in the Camden Stage II area with the drilling of GL#14 utilising specialised drilling and steering equipment. Drilling operations are currently completing the directional build section to the top of the Bulli coal seam in preparation for drilling the horizontal section in the coal seam. The commencement of the horizontal section of the well is expected to commence on Thursday, 26 October 2006.
GL#14 will be drilled in-seam to test the horizontal production performance of the Bulli seam; nearby vertical wells have already demonstrated good production potential. Total well length is prognosed to be 2380m (MD) with 1500m (MD) in the coal seam. Average coal thickness is expected to be 4.5m at a true vertical depth of 690m. A higher flow rate and hence ultimate recovery is expected compared to a vertical well due to a larger drainage area to be swept by a SIS well. Reservoir simulation studies indicate well performance of 2-6 times that of a vertical well depending on reservoir heterogeneity. The duration of the drilling of this well is estimated to be 22-25 days.
It is believed that the application of this engineering approach may allow commercial exploitation of lower permeability areas, thinner coal seams and under-saturated seams within the project area. SIS wells may also target gas reserves that would otherwise be difficult to access because of land access constraints. This knowledge will also allow the JV to potentially increase the eventual gas reserves which can be booked for the Camden Gas Project. - Web Site

WEEKLY OPERATIONS - PRODUCTION TESTING COMMENCED
The Phase 1 drilling programme at the Wichian Buri Oil Field, onshore Thailand, commenced on 11 July 2006 and is currently progressing with the flow testing of POE-6 and the drilling of POE-5, the 6th well of the planned 7 well programme.
1. POE-5 Development Well The POE-5 development well is currently drilling ahead at 317 metres to a prognosed total depth of 1,362 metres. The well will test the productive F-Sand package northwards from the Wichian Buri-1 well and is designed to appraise the extent of the Greater Wichian Buri field. It will also evaluate the reservoir quality, hydrocarbons and potential flow rates of the deeper G Sands as a secondary objective.
2. Production Testing POE-6 Flow testing of the G sandstones intersected in POE-6 commenced on 22 October. The flow is currently cleaning up and results will be announced when a stabilised production rate is achieved.
3. Production testing POE-8 and POE-2 The workover rig has completed drilling operations on POE-8 to prepare it for production testing operations and has been moved to POE-2 to commence drilling operations on this next well. - Web Site

Annual Report - CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Gindalbie Metals Ltd, I am pleased to present the 2006 Annual Report of your company. It is especially pleasing to be able to advise that the strategy I outlined for Gindalbie in my inaugural Chairman’s Address at the 2005 Annual General Meeting, to reposition the Company with a focus on building a substantial new Australian iron ore business in the Mid West region of Western Australia, has largely been set in motion.
The highlights of Gindalbie's achievements during the 2006 year include: the delineation of a larger-than-expected initial magnetite resource at our flagship Karara Project of 737 million tonnes grading 37.1% Fe (JORC), the signing of the Karara Feasibility Study Joint Venture Agreement with China’s second largest steel producer, AnSteel, in April 2006, and a successful hematite drilling campaign which has confirmed both the extent and depth of high-grade hematite mineralisation at Karara.
The Karara Feasibility Study Joint Venture with AnSteel was signed in Canberra in April 2006 in the presence of senior Chinese Government Officials and senior Australian parliamentarians. Since the formal signing of the Joint Venture, AnSteel has contributed its 50% share of the costs of the Karara Feasibility Study and has seconded two senior representatives to work with the Joint Venture technical team.
In addition to the great success achieved on the Karara Iron Ore Project, the Company also strengthened its balance sheet through a share placement completed in May 2006 which raised $33.5 million to provide funding for ongoing drilling and feasibility studies.
On 30 June 2006, we completed the sale of the Minjar Gold Project for $10 million. An initial deposit of $500,000 has been received with the balance due in three instalments over twelve months. The divestment of this non-core asset has enabled Gindalbie to focus exclusively on the development of the Karara Iron Ore Project. Importantly, the sale of our gold interests included provision for Gindalbie to retain 100% of the iron ore rights within the project landholdings.
As a result of the solid foundations laid over the past 12 months, Gindalbie is well placed to achieve its objective of becoming a 10 million tonne per annum iron ore producer by 2010, with production of hematite scheduled to commence from Karara by June 2008 at the initial rate of 2 million tonnes per annum followed by magnetite at a production rate of 8 mtpa in the first half of 2010. The magnetite production will be split evenly between magnetite concentrate and pellets.......... - Web Site

Annual Report - Chairman's Report
It is with pleasure that I present to you the 2006 Annual Report of Ramelius Resources Limited.
It is a particular pleasure to advise that your Company is now asuccessful gold producer generating a revenue stream.
With this revenue, we are now very well positioned to pursue the wealth of mineral resources that we believe lie hidden within what is undoubtedly one of the most prospective gold and nickel belts in Australia, our Spargoville Belt.
Subsequent to the end of the financial year, Ramelius acquired additional nickel interests within the Spargoville Belt enhancing its position even further.
Earlier this year the Company issued a Shareholder Purchase Plan, funds from which were mainly used to bridge the gap between commencement of mining and cash flow from the Wattle Dam Gold Mine.
The Company also issued free bonus options to reward shareholders for their ongoing support of the Company.
The future looks bright for Ramelius with plans for rapid growth from solid foundations.
I frequently remind myself of the "Company's Aim" as stated in the original prospectus: "...to establish an early revenue stream from low risk/low cost advanced projects anticipating that early production will support the ongoing exploration and development of major projects."
It may have taken a little longer than envisaged but that is precisely what we have done.
I believe the next stage of the journey is to become what was recently described as the Holy Grail for gold investors and that is "a high-grade multi mine company with a rising production profile."
I believe we are half way there......- Web Site

Review of operations
Comet Vale Project - Sand Queen Gold Mine Production Joint Venture
(Kingsrose Mining Pty Ltd earning 50% of M29/321, M29/52)
During the year Kingsrose Mining Pty Ltd, our Joint Venture Operator, commenced underground operations at the Sand Queen mine and the first gold was poured in June 2006.
The Sand Queen mine has been dewatered to below the 3 Level, minor rehabilitation work completed on the Sand Queen Shaft, the 2 Level has been driven south for about 200 metres and has intersected the northern extent of the Sand George lodes, stoping commenced at the south end of the old Sand Queen mine to recover remnant ore, and work commenced on 3 Level plat in preparation for a development drive to the south. A 2 kilometre long haul road was constructed for access for road trains to transport the ore to the Greenfields Mill, Coolgardie for processing.
A total of 3,089 tonnes of ore from development and stoping on the 2 Level at the south end of the old Sand Queen mine was hoisted to the surface, including ,730 tonnes from the SQ2A stope. Additional broken stock reserves remain in the SQ2B stope. Mining of the southern extremities of the Sand Queen deposit will continue from both the 2 and 3 Level developments. Geotechnical analysis of the ground conditions has been conducted to ensure safe working conditions are maintained as the Sand George activities come online.
The first milling campaign in June 2006 treated 3,089 tonnes of combined development and stope ore mined from the southern end of the Sand Queen deposit. A total of 643 ounces of gold and 29 ounces of silver have been recovered of which 35 ounces of gold has been credited to Reed. The gravity circuit recovered about 65% of the gold, and the total gold recovery was in excess of 97% (calculated from the metallurgical balance) for a reconciled head grade of 6.5 g/t Au. The leach and adsorption kinetics of the ore parcel were excellent and the tail grade was about 0.0 g/t.
The cash cost per ounce was A$523, and the average price received was A$798. "Cash costs" include all expenditures by Reed, directly incurred on mining and milling, plus overheads and royalties. The cash cost is expected to decrease as the proportion of stope ore to development ore increases as mining of the Sand George lodes reaches a more advanced stage.
The next milling campaign is scheduled for September 2006 and then bi-monthly for the next three and a half years. The size of each campaign is expected to increase as mining of the Sand George lodes increases to full production. Kingsrose Mining Pty Ltd is continuing to evaluate the widening of a planned ventilation shaft at the south end of the Sand George lodes to a new production shaft.
Mineral Resources
During the year the Company completed a resource extension drilling program, which doubled the strike extent of the Sand George lode system, and completed a re-evaluation of resources along strike to the south of and at depth beneath the Sand George lodes and between the northern end of the Sand George lodes and the Sand Queen deposit. This has resulted in a substantial increase in the combined Mineral Resources to a total of 360,000 tonnes at a grade of 11.8 g/t Au for 136,000 ounces of gold (at 5 g/t Au cut-off), as listed in Table 1.
All drill holes (seven cored drill holes and five RC percussion drill holes) intersected mineralised quartz lodes thereby extending the strike extent of the Sand George lodes for a further 500m to the south and down to a vertical depth of 150m. Drilling along strike to the south of the Sand George lodes and a re-evaluation of deep lode intersections (not previously included in resource estimates) has resulted in an additional Inferred Mineral Resource of 128,000 tonnes at a grade of 11.9 g/t Au for 49,400 ounces of gold (at 5 g/t cut-off).
A re-evaluation of previous drilling between the northern end of the Sand George lodes and the south end of the Sand Queen deposit has resulted in an additional Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources of 64,500 tonnes at 10.5 g/t Au for 21,850 ounces of gold (at 5 g/t Au cut-off) between the two deposits.
This includes the southern strike extension of lodes in the Sand Queen deposit, which have not previously been mined and are currently being driven on as part of the development to access the Sand George lodes. The gold-bearing lode structure remains open at depth and along strike to the south where previous shallow drilling has intercepted the mineralised structure up to further south of the Kingsrose JV boundary. The increase in resources has the potential to significantly extend the mine life beyond the current plan of three and a half years...... - Web Site

Operational Update - Angola & Australia
1. Cabinda South Block, Onshore Angola (ROC: 60% & Operator)
ROC is pleased to advise that it has signed a two-year contract with Simmons Drilling Overseas Limited ("Simmons") for the Simmons 80 Rig, which is expected to start drilling onshore Cabinda between March and May 2007. The 1,200 horsepower rig is currently being upgraded in Dubai, and is capable of drilling to 4,000 metres in conventional hole sizes. Under the terms of the contract, ROC has the ability to terminate the arrangement early by paying a break fee and to assign the rig to other operators in the region.
In addition, to the arrangement with Simmons, ROC is continuing to investigate the merits of bringing the 100% ROC-owned 750 horsepower Explorer rig from the UK to Angola which could allow drilling to start prior to end-2006......
2. Cliff Head Oil Field, Perth Basin, Offshore Western Australia (ROC: 37.5% & Operator)
Further to its Stock Exchange Release on 17 October regarding the temporary shut-in at Cliff Head Oil Field, ROC advises that production recommenced 21 October. Current production from the field is 9,000 to 10,000 BOPD from three of the six production wells. Trucking of oil to the BP Refinery at Kwinana recommenced on 23 October.

PRIAM-1 EXPLORATION WELL UPDATE
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") provides the following operational information on the Priam-1 exploration well.
Location
The Priam-1 well is the third of three deviated wells in Production Licence TL/6 to be drilled from a single surface location:
Priam-1 was drilled as a deviated well to a target approximately 1.5 km to the northeast of this location.
Progress
As of Sunday (22nd October 2006), the Priam-1 well had drilled a total depth of 1,868.7 metres TVD. No hydrocarbons were encountered at the primary objective, the Double Island Sandstone.
Tap Comment
Priam-1 successfully intersected the shallower known oil reservoir of the Agincourt field, with hydrocarbon contacts consistent with production history. However the majority of the oil is expected to be recovered from existing wells, so Priam-1 is not required as a producer.
The well tested a four way dip closure at the deeper Double Island Sandstone primary objective which did not contain any hydrocarbons.
The well will now be plugged and abandoned.
The Ensco-67 will now move on to drill West Cycad-1, also in the Harriet Joint Venture. - Web Site

Coyote Gold Project - Update
Construction of the Coyote treatment plant was completed late September 2006. Although the crushing and milling circuit is commissioned, the gravity (coarse gold) circuit and wet plant including the carbonin- pulp (CIP) circuit, vat leaching process and elution/gold room circuits are behind schedule and have not yet been fully commissioned by BeMeX Corporation Pty Ltd (BeMeX).
Consequently, forecast gold production has been delayed and a complete ore grade reconciliation of tonnes treated to date has not been possible.
Due to these delays and in order to minimise mining costs until the treatment plant is fully operational and gold production increases, the open pit mining operations have been suspended. Additional technical people have been committed to the Project to assist with commissioning all components of the treatment process including the gravity, CIP and Vat leach circuits. The Company is in discussions with BeMeX regarding its ongoing role.
Suspension of mining operations will not have any impact on the commissioning of the plant and treatment of ore during the remainder of the December 2006 quarter, as the Company has over 96,000 tonnes of ore on stockpile (or approximately two months' ore feed at full production) available for processing.
Using data from an independent metallurgical review undertaken last week and which is continuing, processing plant testwork is being undertaken to assist in the commissioning of the treatment plant.
Gold from the limited amount of ore treated to date has not yet been recovered from the CIP and Vat leach circuits of the treatment plant or from a fully commissioned gravity circuit. The only ore treated to date is from the intensely weathered top benches of the orebody. Although the current estimated recovered grade from this initial ore processed is lower than the estimated reserve and detailed grade control calculated grade, an accurate reconciliation of recovered grade compared to the reserve and grade control ore blocks will not be possible until the plant is fully operational.
A complete grade reconciliation of ore treated will be possible when the plant is fully operational and a much larger parcel of the stockpiled ore is treated during the December 2006 quarter.
To provide additional working capital to assist with the full commissioning of the treatment plant and maintenance of exploration programs, the Directors have resolved to call up the balance of the uncalled amount on the Contributing Shares being 19 cents per share. Further details of the call on the Contributing Shares are scheduled to be released later this week.
The Directors also advise that a follow up drill program will commence this week at the Tekapo Prospect located within the Lake Mackay Project following up the recently announced gold discovery at Tekapo where the first-pass broad spaced drill program from this previously unexplored area of Central Australia, returned 16 metres at 3.4 g/t gold from 29 metres.- Web Site
