Wall Street ended a disappointing week with its third straight decline Friday after oil prices jumped on word of possible attacks in Nigeria near production facilities. The rise in oil prices sapped enthusiasm over a Labor Department report that the nation's unemployment rate fell to a five-year low. The Labor Department said the unemployment rate fell to 4.4 percent last month from 4.6 percent in September, easing some concerns that the economy has slowed too quickly. Futures dealers slashed the implied chances of imminent Fed rate cuts to zero on the one-two punch of the October payrolls report and, later, the Institute for Supply Management's survey of the vast U.S. services sector - at 57.1 it was above the median forecast of 54.5 and the highest since May.
For the week, the Dow fell 0.86 percent, while the S&P lost 0.95 percent and the Nasdaq lost 0.84 percent.
Friday's economic data sent bonds falling sharply; the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note jumped to 4.71 percent from 4.60 percent late Thursday.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers, on reduced volume, by about 6 to 5 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The US dollar rallied against major currencies, touching one-week highs versus the yen and Swiss franc, after a government report showed the labor market is on fairly firm footing, damping expectations the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates soon.
Natural Gas Futures were up After EIA reports Storage Drawdown.
Copper gained for a second straight day in London on speculation that global demand for the metal used in wires and pipes will continue to exceed supply.
Fundamentals for LME lead, zinc and nickel remain very bullish, traders said, with zinc poised to continue its "spectacular" performance in the short-term, Societe Generale analyst Stephen Briggs said.
Gold in New York rallied - despite the firmer US dollar, gaining for a fourth straight week, after a rise in oil prices increased the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against inflation.
Platinum had the biggest gain since May in London on speculation that an exchange-traded fund linked to the price of the precious metal may be introduced.
The All Ordinaries again closed at a record yesterday, up 19.8 points to 5396.9, up 1.3 per cent for the week.
Best performers included banking stocks which are moving higher on better-than-expected profit results, despite a looming interest rate rise on Wednesday.

Castle Acquires Option Over Sapelliga Gold Project
Castle Minerals Limited (ASX:CDT) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement over the Sapelliga gold project in Ghana.
The 183km2 Sapelliga project is situated in the north eastern corner of Ghana along the border with Burkina Faso. Canadian company Etruscan Resources is developing the 580,000 ounce (6.6 million tonnes @ 2.7g/t gold) Youga Gold deposit just 2.5km west of the project boundary and 5km west of the Sapelliga prospect.
The main area of interest at Sapelliga was defined by Ashanti Exploration in the late 1990's and occurs in Tarkwaian and Birimian metasedimentary rocks adjacent and along strike from the Youga Project. Shallow artisinal mining has occurred around the prospect area.
Trenching by Ashanti has exposed quartz veined metasedimentary rocks over an approximately 800m strike. Trench results reported by Ashanti include:
The option agreement provides Castle with the opportunity to acquire a 100% interest in the project over a three year period subject to staged payments being made to the vendors. The option payments are heavily weighted towards the end of the 3 year option period..... - Web Site

BASE METAL RESULTS FROM THE McPHILLAMYS GOLD DISCOVERY CONFIRMS ZINC POTENTIAL
As summarised in the September Quarterly Report (30 October 2006), a follow up aircore and RC drilling program was completed at McPhillamys with five sections tested on lines at approximately 150 metre spacing over a strike length of 600 metres. The gold results confirmed that McPhillamys hosts a major mineralised system which extends over a 400 metre strike length, comprises at least two distinct gold bearing zones (Western and Eastern) which are up to 50 to 100 metres wide and extend from the ground surface to at least 150 metres vertical depth.
Diamond core hole KPD 001, drilled towards the southern end of the known mineralisation, intersected the Western Gold Zone and a separate zinc rich zone. Results from this hole were summarised as:

2006 Annual Report - Letter from the Chairman
Dear Shareholder
This is our third annual report, and I am pleased to report a very strong financial result. This is the first result to be reported using the Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards, and therefore includes the result of "mark to market” of our investment portfolio in both the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet.
On this basis, we reported a pre-tax profit of $36.0 million. This increase in value of our investments reflects a strong increase in the value of Indophil Resources NL ($11.2 million), and through our shareholdings in African Lion Limited (AFL) and African Lion 2 Limited (AFL2), our indirect holdings in Platmin Limited ($9.6 million) and Albidon Limited ($8.5 million). The performance of each of these companies is discussed more fully in this report, but each one reflects the success of AuSelect's strategy of investing in advanced opportunities, either directly or through its investments in the African Lion funds.
Your directors believe that a better measure of our performance than "mark to market”, is our realised profit on exit of investments. On this basis, we recorded a gain of $5.4 million made up of profits on sale of an investment in Equinox Minerals Limited ($3.2 million) and in Gallery Gold Limited ($3.1 million), offset by an exchange loss.
I am pleased to report that we completed the establishment of Asian Lion Limited (ALF) towards the end of the year. AuSelect has committed US$7 million, and the initial fund size is US$21.6 million. Establishment of this fund was flagged in our prospectus, but took much longer than we anticipated. However, it is now up and running, with a strong investor base, and the Manager has identified a wide range of potential investment opportunities. We are hopeful that it will emulate the success of our African Lion funds.
During the year, we invested $5 million in Lafayette Mining Limited in fundraisings to strengthen the company's financial position following suspension of activity at its Rapu Rapu project as a result of two separate discharges of process water. The Manager separately invested $2 million in Lafayette and was instrumental in bringing about broad changes at Lafayette, including the appointment of a Philippine operating team. Lafayette has now recommenced activities at Rapu Rapu.
AuSelect has embarked on a program to grow and transform from a mining investment company to a mining company, with three arms: fund investments (AFL/AFL2 and ALF); investments; and direct ownership of operations or royalties. Consistent with this strategy, we announced towards the end of the year an offer to acquire Sedimentary Holdings Ltd by way of a scrip takeover offer of 2 AuSelect shares for every 9 Sedimentary shares. Sedimentary's major assets are a 30% interest in the Cracow Gold Mine in Queensland, which produced 33,000 ounces of gold for Sedimentary during the year, and a 10% shareholding in Intrepid Mines Limited, a TSX/ASX listed company with gold mining activities in Australia and South America. Since the close of the financial year, we have taken control of Sedimentary.
As a result of our acquisition of Sedimentary, AuSelect's size has doubled and our shareholder base has been significantly expanded, but some shareholders will hold "unmarketable parcels” of shares. The company intends to provide a means to address this situation following the close of the Sedimentary transaction.
I anticipate further progress will be made during the new financial year with all three arms of the company's strategy. Many opportunities have been identified, and all will be subject to the thorough appraisal process of the Manager. I look forward to your participation in the growth of the company. - Web Site

Successfully completes $50m placement
Bendigo Mining Limited (ASX:BDG) is pleased to announce that it has undertaken a fully subscribed institutional placement of 62.3 million ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.80 per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately $50 million. The placement was managed by Macquarie Equity Capital Markets Limited and Goldman Sachs JBWere.
Non-Executive Chairman Mr Peter McCarthy commented "The support from certain Australian institutional investors was very satisfying, as was the support from a range of new international investors.
"The Company now has the financial capacity to continue project development as planned based on our 11 million ounce Inferred Resource. The significant operational momentum we have built up over the past 18 months will continue” he commented.
Plans are in place at the Kangaroo Flat Mine for production of 50,000 ounces of gold this financial year, building to 75,000 ounces of gold in 2007/08. Importantly, there is a development strategy aimed at delivering the Company's longer term goal of growing gold production to 600,000 ounces a year.
It is expected that the new shares will be allotted on Thursday 9 November 2006 and listed for quotation on ASX on Friday 10 November 2006. Trading in Bendigo Mining shares on ASX will recommence today.
Share Purchase Plan
Bendigo Mining is also pleased to offer eligible shareholders the opportunity to acquire additional shares at $0.80 per share, the same price paid by institutional investors under the Placement, via a Share Purchase Plan (SPP)....... - Web Site

Tintaburra - Weekly Drilling Update - 2 Nov 06
Drillsearch Energy Limited ("Drillsearch”) is pleased to announce the completion of a further two (2) successful oil wells. Mulberry 18 and Endeavour 12 have both been cased and suspended as a future oil production wells. In addition, Mulberry 20 has been cased and suspended as a future oil production or water injection well
Rig PDI-735 will now move south of Talgeberry Field to commence four (4) near field exploration wells, namely Seagoon 1, Bingilberry 1, Zenoni 1 and Ziegfried 1. This programme will run for about four (4) weeks. Development drilling will continue at Endeavour Field.
Rig PDI-735 spudded Mulberry 18, an oil delineation well, on 15 October 2006, oil shows were encountered while drilling in the Westbourne and mid Birkhead Formations. Wireline well log analysis indicated 8 m of net oil pay in the mid Birkhead reservoir unit, and the well has been cased and suspended as a future oil production well. The rig was released to the Mulberry 20 well location.
Mulberry 20, an oil development/water injection well, spudded on 27 October 2006, oil shows were encountered while drilling through the Murta Member and the Westbourne and mid Birkhead Formations. Preliminary wireline log interpretation indicates 1.5 - 2.0 m of net pay in the mid Birkhead reservoir unit with poor reservoir quality.
Rig PDI-724 spudded Endeavour 12, an oil delineation well, on 21 October 2006. Oil shows were encountered in the Birkhead Formation. Evaluation of wireline logs indicated approximately 8 m of net oil pay. A drill stem test over the interval 1303- 1325 metres recovered 7.5 bbl of muddy water. The well was cased and suspended as a future oil production well, and the rig released to the Endeavour 15 location.
Endeavour 15, an oil delineation well has been delayed due to maintenance on Rig - PDI 724..... - Web Site

Drilling Update
West Andrew Prospect, Vermillion Parish, South Louisiana (FAR 10%) Intermediate surface casing run to 11,515 feet - preparing to drill ahead.
Intermediate casing has been run in the Lucy B. Thomas et al #1 well to 11,515 feet and preparations are in progress to drill ahead toward planned total depth. The well is a dry land straight hole test of the West Andrew Prospect and is being drilled using the Great Wall Rig GWD #172.
FAR has a 10 percent working interest in the West Andrew Prospect, a three-way dip fault closure, located on a 400 acre lease block in Vermillion Parish, South Louisiana. The prospect is supported by a combination of subsurface well control and 3D seismic and lies on a prolific "Camerina” trend where historical production exceeds 1.7 TCF of gas.
The Lucy B. Thomas et al #1 well has a planned total depth of 14,000 feet and a likely drilling duration of approximately 53 days.
The Camerina (Upper Frio age) interval produces in the adjacent Andrew Field area. Net sand maps of the area show the West Andrew Prospect should have approximately 60 feet of pay in the Camerina-1 sand and approximately 40 feet in the Camerina-2 sand with total potential estimated at 20 BCF gas and 200,000 barrels of oil....... - Web Site

Annual Report - Letter from the Chairman
Dear Shareholder
I am very pleased to once again report to our shareholders a strong financial performance for the year. Comparison of our results with the prior year is made difficult due to the fact that our results for 2006 are reported for the first time using the new Australian equivalents to International Reporting Standards (AIFRS). They therefore reflect the result of the "mark to market" of Lion's investment portfolio in both the Income Statement and Balance Sheet. On this basis, our profit (pre-tax) was $52 million.
Your directors believe the most relevant measure of profit is that realised from the sale of our investments, as this best reflects our performance, and provides the funds for payment of dividends. On this basis, we realised profits of $38 million (pre-tax), almost exclusively as a result of a profitable exit from our investment in Gallery Gold Limited.
During the year, there were strong positive movements in the value of several of our investees, to some extent reflecting the strong movements in commodity prices, but also reflecting positive developments in their activities. These are discussed more fully elsewhere in this report, but I would like to highlight the significant progress made by Indophil Resources with its Tampakan Copper Gold Project in the Philippines. Following agreement with Xstrata, the company fast tracked a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) commencing in April 2005. Work on the PFS advanced very positively, highlighted by drilling results which led to a significant increase in both Resources and Reserves. The PFS is due for completion at the time of writing this report.
A disappointing development during the year was the suspension of activities by Lafayette Mining Limited at its Rapu Rapu project in the Philippines, following two separate discharges of process water not long after the company had commenced operations. I am pleased to report that the Manager was instrumental in bringing about broad changes at Lafayette, including the appointment of a Philippine operating team. Lafayette has now recommenced activities at Rapu Rapu.
Prior to the end of the year, AuSelect Limited announced its intention to acquire Sedimentary Holdings Ltd by way of a scrip takeover offer of 2 AuSelect shares for every 9 Sedimentary shares. The AuSelect offer provided a significant premium to the Sedimentary share price, and sale of Sedimentary was consistent with Lion's strategy of exiting investments once they move to production. By 1 September 2006, Lion was advised that the AuSelect offer was the sole offer available, and accordingly Lion sold all of its Sedimentary shares to AuSelect and received AuSelect scrip. This transaction will realise a pre-tax profit of $11.2 million.
Shareholders will be aware that Lion's dividend policy is to pay a substantial portion of realised profit to shareholders as dividends. The company has announced that the AuSelect shares received for its Sedimentary holdings will be paid as an in specie dividend. The timing of this will be announced once the Sedimentary transaction is completed, and at that time, consideration will also be given to a cash dividend.
Commodity prices sustained their strong gains from the previous year, in some cases moving to record levels. Gold, where the price movement had lagged other commodities, also rose strongly, and although it has recently come off from its highs, we remain confident about the future outlook for gold. While commodity prices cannot be expected to remain at current levels for an extended period, we believe that the outlook for our industry remains positive, and I am confident that the Manager will continue to identify and progress attractive investment opportunities that meet Pooled Development Fund requirements, and form the basis for further profitable performance by Lion. - Web Site

Second significant copper intersection at Mehdiabad
Union Resources Limited (Union) advises that sampling and assaying of drill hole 5302 on the western side of the Mehdiabad zinc, lead and silver deposit in Iran has produced the following result:
Cut off of 1% Copper: 40.1m @ 2.1% Cu from 92.9m
Cut off of 2% Copper: 21.1m @ 2.4% Cu from 92.9m
The copper mineralisation is hosted by hematitic (and goethitic) gossan with substantial amounts of barite, at the base of the Abkouh Formation, which is stratigraphically located above the zinc, lead, silver resource, predominantly in what has been regarded as waste rock, in the proposed Mehdiabad super pit.
The average core recovery for the whole zone is 74.4% with core loss due to poorly consolidated sections within the gossan. Core recovery for the higher grade zone was 89%.
Hole 5302 is located approximately 120m north of drill hole 8416, which recorded a zone of 35m @ 4.3% Cu from 167m from the same stratigraphic position, and hence the intersections are considered significant.
However, Union is awaiting the results of about 9 more holes currently being assayed, prior to having an independent copper resource estimate made. - Web Site

Wall Street eased after the Labor Department said productivity was flat in the third quarter while wages rose nearly 4 percent. Productivity, the amount of output per hour of work, showed no growth at all from July through September. Growth was just 1.3 percent over the past 12 months, the weakest showing in nine years.
The wages data touched off concerns that the Federal Reserve will continue to wrestle with inflation, possibly raising interest rates again.
Investors appeared unfazed by a Commerce Department report that showed factory orders rose a lower-than-expected 2.1 percent in September.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers, on reduced volume, by about 9 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil fell amid forecasts for warmer weather in the U.S. and calls by Kuwait for OPEC to pause before cutting production further.
Copper prices were higher on Thursday with the market keeping an eye on a possible strike at a big producer (Codelco's Norte division) and re-stocking by major consumer China, traders said.
Gold in New York extended a rally to a seven-week high as some investors bet a slowing U.S. economy will weaken the dollar, boosting the precious metal's appeal as an alternative investment. Gold's gains accelerated after Iran said it fired a test missile capable of reaching Israel.
Strong buying has helped lift the platinumcontract to its highest levels since Sept. 19.
The stock market closed slightly lower today with mixed performances among key banking and mining stocks.
The country's export prospects remained strong despite a widening of the trade gap with the rest of the world, Trade Minister Warren Truss said today.
The trade deficit grew to $646 million in September as the value of exports declined; exports fell 1 per cent to $17.7 billion, while imports edged up to $18.33 billion.
Resource exports fell 3 per cent to $5.9 billion, largely due to a fall in coal exports.
"Port closures at Newcastle's Port Waratah because of bad weather were in the main responsible for the slowdown, but the backlog is expected to clear in coming months," Mr Truss said.

West Cycad-1 Exploration Well Update
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap”) provides the following operational information on the drilling of the West Cycad-1 exploration well.
Location
The Cycad-1 well is located in Production Licence TL/9 and is being drilled from surface location. West Cycad-1 will be drilled as a vertical well to a target depth of approximately 2,100 metres.
Progress
As of today at 06:00 hours, the West Cycad-1 well had drilled ahead to a total depth of 2,178 metres measured depth. Wire line logging, pressure testing and fluid sampling has now been completed. Testing and sampling has confirmed the presence of a 9 metre oil column at the Flag Sandstone objective. Two other thin zones of oil and gas respectively were intersected in the well.
The well will now be plugged and abandoned as planned.
Tap Comment
The West Cycad-1 oil discovery is an encouraging result. Further work will be required to determine if the hydrocarbon pool can be commercially developed, as it is not within the reach of the existing platform in the area. More significantly it is the southern most oil field discovered in the Flag Sandstone fairway to date and hence bodes well for further oil exploration in that part of the Harriet Joint Venture acreage.
After completing operations on this West Cycad-1 well, the drilling rig will move to the South Gibson Production Platform to drill the Gobi-1 exploration well.- Web Site

EREMIA 5 DRILLING REPORT NORTHERN PERTH BASIN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Operations Since Last Report: Subsequent to completion of repairs, the well was drilled directionally to a depth of 2306 mRT. Log correlation indicated that the well had landed approximately 45m east and on the low side of the Eremia bounding fault. A sidetrack to a revised target is presently underway.
Current Operations: Setting cement plugs preparatory to sidetrack.
Comment: This stepout to the North of the current producers at Eremia is into an area near the edge of 3D seismic coverage, where data quality is reduced. Given the circumstances, a sidetrack was always accepted as a possibility, and was a contingent item in the planning. The new fault intersection information now allows for a more certain sidetrack target location to be defined...... - Web Site

2006 Quarterly Report
Shipments
Shipments of coal were down 24.8% on the corresponding quarter last year when record shipping levels were reached.
Shipments were very similar to the December 2005 quarter as can be seen from the chart below. Performance was down primarily because of reduced coal production at Moorvale Mine (refer page 3).
Despite shipments being low for the September 2006 quarter, the Company expects to meet its shipping target for the 2007 financial year of 4.5 million tonnes.
Markets
The metallurgical coal market has been affected by the widening price differential between hard coking coal and other metallurgical coals. Steel mills have responded to changes in pricing by adjusting the mix of metallurgical coals to reduce costs of raw materials. The adjustment is expected to support the strong demand for PCI coal. - Web Site

Chairman's Address to Shareholders
Welcome to this, possibly the last AGM of Michelago Limited.
In August, Golden China shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve the proposed Business Combination with Michelago and in a few weeks time we will be holding the Schemes meetings that will be one of the last steps in what has been a long and complicated merger process.
Assuming shareholders and listed optionholders vote in favour of the merger at these meetings, I expect that by the end of the year, Michelago will become a wholly owned subsidiary of a TSX listed Golden China and Michelago shareholders will become shareholders of Golden China, owning approximately 59% of that company. In the meantime however, Michelago remains a listed public company, required to issue an annual report and hold an annual general meeting before the end of November. Hence, we are meeting here today.
As you are aware the business combination process has taken much longer than expected and your Board regrets this unfortunate delay and acknowledges your patience. ........ - Web Site

INITIAL WONDINONG DRILLING CONFIRMS THE PRESENCE OF WIDESPREAD URANIUM MINERALISATION
Initial results from drilling have confirmed the presence of widespread uranium mineralisation at Aura Energy Limited's ("Aura") Wondinong Project, near Mt Magnet in Western Australia.
Aura commenced air core drilling at Wondinong in early September. Unseasonable rains forced the drill rig off-site after drilling 31holes, when 9% of the planned 350 hole program was completed.
The drilling program at Wondinong is testing the main prospective area at Wondinong, which is approximately 20 square kilometres in size. WMC partly tested this area in the 1970's with 1,500 metre by 250 metre spaced drilling, and defined a pre-JORC resource based on this sparse drilling.
The Aura program is based on 200 metre by 200 metre and 400 metre by 200 metre spaced drilling, and is providing far more detail on the distribution of uranium mineralisation in the Project Area. It is Aura's intention to quantify the uranium resource at Wondinong to inferred resource status, either by this program, or in a subsequent, more detailed program..... - Web Site

Further Extends Gold & Zinc Mineralisation-Zheng Guang Project
Leyshon Resources Limited ("Leyshon") (AIM & ASX: LRL) today announces that it has further extended the gold and zinc mineralisation during its drill programme to expand and upgrade resources at the Zheng Guang project in Heilongjiang, northeast China.
The latest results from 11 diamond drill holes located along the western and northern boundaries of the known mineralisation have extended the Main Ore Zone over 250 metres to the northwest.
Two holes drilled in a northerly direction to test for east-west orientated veins reported very encouraging intersections including:
ZGD117 5 metres at 2.84 g/t gold, 10 g/t silver and 0.53% zinc; and
5 metres at 2.78 g/t gold, 11 g/t silver and 2.33% zinc; and
14 metres at 1.97 g/t gold, 8 g/t silver and 0.89% zinc;
ZGD124 7 metres at 9.55 g/t gold, 12 g/t silver and 2.65% zinc; and
13 metres at 3.99 g/t gold, 23 g/t silver and 2.77% zinc.
These intersections are important as they indicate that high grade mineralisation is not limited to the dominant north south orientated veins and suggest that as a result additional mineralisation can be expected to be encountered during mining operations.
The diamond drill programme has now concluded and to date assay results from 30 of the 50 holes drilled have been released. Further results from the remaining holes will be released shortly. The programme comprised a total of 13,006 metres of mainly angled holes drilled 60 degrees to the west and included two holes (ZGD152 and 153) which were drilled for metallurgical purposes. Drill hole locations are shown below.
The reverse circulation drilling programme to date has completed 15,000 metres out of a planned 20,000 metres and is due to be concluded in mid November...... - Web Site

Wall Street retreated Wednesday after most of the day's economic data showed weakness, including a report that manufacturing growth in October was the slowest in more than three years.
The Institute for Supply Management, a private research group, reported softness across the U.S. manufacturing sector. New orders, production and prices fell, while hiring was up. Treasurys rallied on the numbers and the dollar fell.
Data on the housing market also bolstered fears of an economic slowdown. Pending home sales for September, fell 1.1 percent, down 13.6 percent from a year earlier. September residential construction spending also fell 1.1 percent, the sixth month that construction spending dropped, the longest stretch of weakness in residential construction in more than a decade.
Declining issues led advancers by 2 to 1, on slightly increased volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil futures eased 2 cents Wednesday.
Teck Cominco executives Tuesday forecast that world zinc stocks will contain only 11 days of supply by the end of this year, and may sink so low that it could "constrain metals consumption." Teck also noted that lead LME stocks have declined to only two days of global consumption.
Comex copper has extended its loss, with Dec hitting a $3.3025-per-pound low for the day; LME warehouse stocks rose 4,675 metric tons Wednesday.
Gold futures climbed more than $12 an ounce Wednesday to close at their strongest price since early September, buoyed by recent dollar weakness and continued reports of robust physical demand linked to the holiday season. Silver, platinum and palladium also rose.

QUARTERLY REPORT
Alto's original shale gas exploration strategy has limiting production growth from drilling due to the inherently low initial producing rates per well in the Appalachia basin. As a result, the Board of Directors of Alto has approved an initiative to divest the Company's Appalachian assets and redeploy the proceeds in the onshore South Louisiana and Eastern Oklahoma basins. Because Alto was an early entrant in acquiring these assets, it has been able to capitalise on the recent increase in land acreage values, divesting selected assets at a profit.
As part of the Company's new strategic focus on conventional oil and gas prospects, Alto is acquiring a 12.5% interest in leases held by the Foothills Joint Venture Project's natural gas assets, production and development potential in LeFlore County, Oklahoma.
We also have signed participation agreements with Legend Petroleum to participate in the drilling of five wells in onshore South Louisiana, with the first well expected to be drilled in November and the program completed early next year....... - Web Site
Drilling commenced at Mt Porter Gold Project ERL116 (100% ARU)
Arafura Resources NL (ASX:ARU) has commenced drilling at Mt Porter gold project located at Pine Creek in the Northern Territory.
The Mt Porter project contains a small resource of 34,200 ounces of gold in a shallow resource that is amenable to open pit mining. The current drill program consists of about 10 holes for approximately 800 metres to test for extensions to the mineralisation.
The Mt Porter project is located about 15 kilometres from the Union Reefs gold treatment plant that is located near Pine Creek. The owners of the plant, GBS Gold International Inc. ("GBS”, a Toronto listed company) successfully recommissioned the plant on 23 August 2006. Arafura will commence negotiations for the treatment of the Mt Porter resource through the plant. GBS are considering modifying part of the plant to treat refractory ores that should significantly improve the recovery of Mt Porter style mineralisation...... - Web Site

Chairman's Letter to Shareholders
Your Directors have written this letter in order to correct the scaremongering and spread of misinformation by Mount Gibson Iron Limited ("Mount Gibson”).
The resistance of Aztec shareholders to Mount Gibson's inadequate offer is clearly proving frustrating to Mount Gibson's management. Since Mount Gibson announced its offer for Aztec (over three months ago) and despite recently declaring it unconditional, Mount Gibson has only received acceptances for 2.8%1 of Aztec shares (excluding acquisition and acceptances from Aztec's previous major shareholder, Cambrian Mining Plc).
Your Directors thank you for your continued loyalty and support.
Aztec's Directors continue to recommend that shareholders REJECT the inadequate offer from Mount Gibson. - Web Site
Media Release re: September 2006 Quarterly Report - A Platform for Growth
Bendigo Mining Limited (ASX: BDG or the "Company”) today released its quarterly report for the three months ending 30 September 2006.
Commissioning of the Kangaroo Flat process plant was successfully completed late in the quarter, with 2,161 oz of gold recovered from processing low-grade material. Commercial production was declared after the end of the quarter on 1 October 2006.
The Company announced a downgrade in ore reserves on 9 October, 2006, with further explanation detailed in a follow-up release on 19 October 2006.
The reduction in reserves represents a short-term impact. In perspective, the previous reserve comprised less than 2% of the total resource base of the Bendigo Goldfield.
The Company's 11 million ounce Inferred Mineral Resource remains unaffected by the changes to the reserve estimate.
The implications on the operations from the reserve review are:
Non-executive Chairman, Mr Peter McCarthy said, "Our immediate priority will be in proving production from known reefs, and continuing exploration of new reefs to provide future process plant feed.
"The Company's longer-term goal remains the same: to become a 600,000 ounce, unhedged gold producer through the redevelopment of Australia's second largest historic goldfield.”
Bendigo Mining had available cash, net of creditors, of $40 million as at 30 September 2006. However, as a direct result of cost inflation, the loss of gold production this year and continued high levels of underground mine activity, the Company is currently assessing a number of funding alternatives.
There are a range of short-term alternatives available to the Company, and the attractiveness of longer term funding options available to the Company will increase after a track record of production and positive exploration is delivered. - Web Site

GAWLER CRATON EXPLORATION INTERESTS
Havilah Resources NL (Havilah - ASX:HAV) wishes to advise that it has exposure to exploration in the eastern Gawler Craton through a strategic 10% interest in Monax Mining Limited and ownership of nearby EL 2979.
Interest in this part of the Gawler Craton, which is interpreted to be geologically similar to the Olympic Dam region, was sparked last year with the outstanding Carrapateena copper discovery, The discovery drillhole intersected 178 metres of 1.83 % copper from 476 metres depth in hematite breccia that is very comparable to the host rocks of the Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill orebodies.
Monax Mining Limited have recently reported visible copper sulphide mineralization in drillholes at their Punt Hill project area some 40 kilometres south of Carrapateena. Three diamond drillholes at the Whistlepeg, Woodchuck and Groundhog prospects respectively, have all intersected copper sulphides according to Monax Mining's ASX releases. These drillholes were directed at residual gravity targets thought to be comparable to Carrapateena , although depths are 200-300 metres greater here. Assay results, to be released later, will determine the economic significance of the visual copper sulphide mineralization. Havilah retains a significant exposure to Monax Mining via its 10% shareholding.
Havilah EL 2979 (Pernatty) abuts Monax Mining's Punt Hill project area to the west and south (see map). According to the terms of the Pernatty Lagoon joint venture, Red Metal Limited is earning a 70% interest in EL 2979 from Havilah by the expenditure of $ 1 million over a period of 5 years. The primary objective is to test gravity targets comparable to those at Monax Mining's Punt Hill project. Drillling to date has intersected strong sericite alteration within prospective Gawler Range Volcanics at depths of around 250-500 metres. Red Metal report that this type of alteration is similar to that forming a halo around Olympic Dam and Carrapateena. Drilling of new gravity features is planned to occur as soon as a drill rig is available.
The above interests provide Havilah with exposure to frontier exploration for Olympic Dam style mineralization in the Gawler Craton without any funding or management obligations at this stage. - Web Site

ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS - CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
The past year has seen Oilex embark on an ambitious strategy that depended for its success upon:
From a team of two permanent employees at the end of the 2005 financial year, Oilex is now a company with more than 25 permanent employees and growing. Under the stewardship of Bruce McCarthy (Managing Director) the company has built an exceptionally talented technical and executive team with a significant depth of experience unparalleled for a company of our size. The team is based out of three main offices - two in India focussed on operations and government relations and our Perth head office, where geotechnical work and financial management and control is located.
Oilex can now be truly described as an international oil and gas company. It is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, with an established and diversified international portfolio of exploration and/or production interests with operations in India, offshore Australia, Timor-Leste and Oman. Oilex's activities are primarily focussed on India and Australia and other countries located around the rim of the Indian Ocean.
We reported last year that the Company was reviewing its existing Australian permit interests, including the drilling program planned for EPP 27 in the Otway Basin, and that it was assessing opportunities to acquire early production assets to expand the Company's exploration interests. We are pleased to report that these objectives have, to a large part, been achieved and we are now concentrating on developing these assets and building up a sustainable income stream. In addition we continue to seek out new exploration and production interests in the countries located around the Indian Ocean rim.
The Australian permit interests held by Oilex have been rationalised to the extent that the Company has introduced two Indian participants into the EPP 27 joint venture in the offshore Otway Basin, and the onshore Queensland interests have recently been sold to Bow Energy Limited ("Bow”) for 15 million Bow shares and options, subject to obtaining Bow shareholder approval. Bow has extensive experience in the Bowen-Surat and Cooper-Eromanga basins in Queensland and is well-placed to derive maximum value from the permits for the benefit of its shareholders, the largest of which will be Oilex...... - Web Site
870% UPGRADE IN THE OPHIR GOLD PROJECT RESOURCE
New Zealand Otago-based gold exploration company Ophir Gold Ltd today announced a 870% increase in the gold resource estimate for the Wai-iti Prospect within its Ophir deposit, one of the key deposits within the Ophir Gold Project at the small township of Ophir in Central Otago. The Ophir Gold Project gold deposit is being aggressively targeted because of its close proximity along strike to the world class Oceana Gold Macraes deposit which has produced over 2 million ounces to date.
The new resource estimate was prepared by independent consultants Otago Geological Services Limited, and was based on the results of the recent successful Phase 2 step-out drilling program (announced June 2006), as well as historical drilling and geochemical data. The new resource estimate (JORC compliant) is detailed below:
Total Inferred Resource of 849,619 tonnes @ 3.99 g/t gold for 109,000 contained ounces..... - Web Site

Commencement of drilling for uranium mineralisation at Lucy Creek (EL24716, EL 24724)
Arafura Resources NL (ASX:ARU) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at Arafura's Lucy Creek uranium project located about 250 kilometres north and east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
A program of 60 drill holes for approximately 2,500 metres is planned over the coming month before the same drill rig will move south onto Arafura's Jervois vanadium project on tenement EL 10214.
The drill program aims to test sandstone style uranium mineralisation. An aeromagnetic survey defined a broad surface uranium anomaly that is about 6.5 kilometres long and up to 1,200 metres wide. Rock chip samples in the region assay up to 1.25lb/t uranium oxide. Shareholders will be informed of drill results when they become available.......... - Web Site
Sugarloaf-1 Weekly Progress Report
Aurora Oil & Gas Limited advises that at 6am Texas time on 31st 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 17,950 feet (5,473 metres).
Since the last report on 25th October 2006, the well has drilled 510 feet (155 metres) of Cretaceous aged limestone to the present depth of 17,950 feet. The requirement for a change of the bottom hole assembly had affected the well progress for the week.
The upper part of the primary Hosston Formation target is expected to be reached shortly. 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
ASX releases will continue be made routinely every Wednesday unless there are material matters which require an earlier release. - Web Site
QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2006 - HIGHLIGHTS
Operating
Sugarloaf Prospect (20% Working Interest) Texas, USA
During the quarter Aurora commenced drilling the first exploration well at Sugarloaf (Sugarloaf#1). As of 25 October, the well had been successfully drilled to a depth of 5,317m (17,440 feet), just above the top of the primary Hosston Formation target. During drilling gas shows were encountered in secondary targets in Cretaceous aged carbonate formations. Wireline log results over one of these sections indicated a 28 m (92 feet) zone of possible gas pay which is expected to be tested upon conclusion of drilling the well to determine its commercial significance.
The primary Hosston target is expected to be reached within the next few days and the total depth of 21,000 feet (6,400 metres) in mid November.
North Belridge Oil Development Project (16.25% interest in 10 Well Program) California, USA
The first North Belridge development well (26-1H) was spudded in June 2006 with a proposed Total Vertical Depth of approximately 3,300 m (9,800 feet). A vertical pilot hole was drilled to total depth of approximately 3,350m (10,000 feet) at which time an extensive suite of logs were run. Well log analysis confirmed the interpretation of up to 190 feet of oil pay with an increase of inferred permeability towards the base of the reservoir above a high permeability water zone.
An approximate 5,000 feet horizontal leg was drilled from the vertical hole within the reservoir and a 5 inch diameter production liner installed over the length of the horizontal and sealed back into the casing. The reservoir was then stimulated by hydraulic fracturing to crack the reservoir open around the well bore, thereby increasing flow rates. Despite being specifically designed not to do so, the fracture stimulation on the horizontal portion of the well penetrated the underlying water zone resulting in approximate 95% water cut, well above the expected 50% water cut. As a result the first development well in the North Belridge Oil Discovery will produce oil at a rate significantly below the expected 500 Barrels of Oil Per Day (BOPD)..... - Web Site

Wildcat drill hole confirms exploration concept for Compass' Western NSW Projects Exploration Results
The Cuttaburra and Yancannia Exploration Licenses (Compass 80% Bohuon Resources Pty Ltd 20%) were acquired to test a concept that a new base or precious metal mineral district may exist in this remote part of Western NSW.
The region is almost entirely covered by Cretaceous to recent sediments with the potentially prospective Lower Palaeozoic basement sequence occurring at unknown depth beneath the cover. This is the principal reason that the area has never previously been explored.
The conceptual model applied by Compass interprets airborne magnetic trends, identified from regional geophysical data, as basement features related to strata bound sulphide horizons, possibly with elevated base metals, and occurring at a shallow enough depth to allow effective exploration. As in other parts of the world including, the Cobar Basin, large base and precious metal deposits may be present along these trends associated with discrete magnetic anomalies.
Following geophysical modelling 9 discrete airborne anomalies were selected for initial follow up work, and were located in the field by geophysical surveys. A single wildcat hole was drilled into each of 2 widely separated anomalies (see map).
Both holes confirmed our exploration concept that the magnetic data reflected basement features within effective exploration range. The holes intersected a stratigraphic sequence similar to the Cobar Basin sequence at a depth of approximately 75 metres beneath the cover rocks. Encouragingly both holes intersected pyrite and or pyrrhotite mineralisation the latter being the source of the magnetic anomaly tested in the Cuttaburra Exploration Licenses. Assay results are now available for the Cuttaburra hole CBRCD01 and include significant and strongly anomalous values for a wildcat hole with up to 0.11% copper, 0.18% zinc, 0.41% tungsten and 40 g/t silver. Silver in particular was anomalous over wide intervals (see table below)......... - Web Site

PETRATHERM SIGNS MOU WITH HEATHGATE RESOURCES FOR SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY TO BEVERLEY URANIUM MINE
Petratherm is pleased to announce that this morning it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Heathgate Resources the owner of the operating Beverley Uranium Mine. The MoU relates to the supply to the mine of electricity from the Company's Paralana Geothermal Energy Project.
The signing of the MoU by Petratherm's Managing Director, Mr Terry Kallis and Heathgate Resources' General Manager, Mr Patrick Mutz, was witnessed by the South Australian Minister for Mineral Resources Development, the Hon. Paul Holloway.
The MoU aims to provide Petratherm and Heathgate Resources with a base from which to explore opportunities in relation to supplying electricity, to be produced by geothermal energy, additional to current contracted requirements, to help the mine's growing future needs.
The Beverley Uranium Mine is just 11 kilometres from the Paralana Geothermal Energy Project, meaning transmission infrastructure costs would be at a minimum.
Heathgate Resources' power requirements are expected to increase from the current 3 - 4 megawatts per year as its mining operations continue to develop.
The MoU provides an important first step for Petratherm and Heathgate Resources in the development of competitive, reliable, base load geothermal power to meet Heathgate's future electricity requirements and will be the first step for Petratherm becoming a "green” energy supplier.... - Web Site

URAN MARKET UPDATE AS URANIUM STRATEGY ACCELERATES
Uranium company Uran Limited (ASX: URA) anticipates completing a joint venture agreement over 2 In-Situ Leachable uranium deposits located in eastern Ukraine by the end of the year. Agreement would see Uran and the Ukrainian State Enterprise, SE VostGOK, take a decision to mine during December, with drilling of the extraction borefield to commence in July 2007. The uranium projects are located in the Dnipropetrovsky region of Ukraine, in the vicinity of other current ISL uranium mining operations.
The Company is advised that the Ukrainian secrecy provisions regarding uranium will be lifted during 2006, allowing Uran to release details of the projects.
Conclusion of the joint venture will provide Uran with access to current high uranium prices, which are expected to be driven higher by the flooding yesterday of the Cigar Lake mine in Canada. Uranium price has already risen 50% during 2006 from US$36/lb to $56/lb driven by growing demand It was projected to continue to rise strongly even prior to the flooding of Cigar Lake, which was to commence production in early 2008 supplying about 10% of current world consumption...... - Web Site

ANNUAL REPORT - CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
It is with great pleasure that I present the 2006 Annual Report of Allied Gold Limited (Allied). It has truly been a landmark year for Allied with signifi cant activity on a Corporate and Operational level.
I am pleased to advise that the company conducted further extensive exploration efforts at the Simberi Oxide Gold Project which resulted in a signifi cant increase of Ore Reserves and Mineral resources scheduled for mining within designed pits from 666,000 ounces to 785,000 ounces . In addition, the company commenced drilling at Tatau Island to test previously generated targets. The company has successfully rationalised the ownership and is in control of 270km2 of highly perspective mineral fi eld.
The Optimised Feasibility Study that was initiated last year was completed in October 2005 and subsequently adopted by the Board. Intermet Engineering were identifi ed as the most suitable engineering group and were awarded the engineering and design work for the project.
The year ahead will again provide Allied with a strong base for growth. The company is proceeding with the full development of the Simberi Oxide Project with an optimised 2.2 mtpa CIL plant being constructed at a Project cost of some USD$60 million. The Project development is well advanced and is scheduled for fi rst gold production in the September quarter of 2007 at an average production rate of 84,000 ounces per annum over the life of the mine.
The company is also continuing with an accelerated exploration programme on the Simberi oxide and sulphide geological targets and anticipates a further conversion of known resource ounces into reserve ounces, which will result in an extension to the current 8.2 year mine life.
A total of more than AUD$50 million was raised by the issuance of new capital during the year. In addition to this, Allied secured a US$25 million loan facility. These funds will take Simberi through to project Commissioning.
In May 2006, Allied listed on London's Alternative Investment Market which made it one of the fi rst companies with a new previously undeveloped mining project in Papua New Guinea to do so.
The commitment shown by your Board, staff and consultants has again laid a strong foundation for continued growth and fi nancial strength from our planned PNG gold mining projects. The market capitalisation of the company has grown signifi cantly during the year from $30m to $111m and I reconfi rm my position of last year and believe that this fi gure will continue to grow as gold production is realised.- Web Site

WEEKLY OPERATIONS OIL FLOW FROM G SANDSTONE .
The Phase 1 drilling programme at the Wichian Buri Oil Field, onshore Thailand, commenced on 11th July 2006 and is currently progressing with the drilling of the POE-5 development well.
Production testing of the Phase 1 wells began on 22nd October 2006 and is currently progressing with the flow testing of the "G" sandstone in POE-6 and preparation for flow testing of POE-2, 3 and 8. For each well it is planned to commence production testing of the deepest oil interval first and progressively test shallower zones moving up the well. This will provide a full analysis of all oil intersections found in the wells. This detailed testing programme will be undertaken over at least the next two months.
1. POE-6 Production Testing
The POE-6 development well is currently on pump and oil is flowing to the surface. Modifications are currently being made to the production infrastructure to optimise production and to establish a stabilised flow rate of clean oil for commercial production. This is the first time that oil has been produced from the deeper "G" sandstone level and bodes well for oil found at the same level in other wells in the programme. This is a good result, especially given the nature of POE-6 as an exploration well. Oil produced from this deeper level will provide additional reserves to the field.
2. POE-2 Production
Testing The POE-2 well is being readied for production testing and should be on flow test in the next few days.
3. POE-3 & POE-8 Production Testing
The workover rig has completed drilling operations on POE-3 and POE-8 to prepare both for production testing operations.
4. POE-5 Development Well
The POE-5 well is currently at a depth of 1,092 metres and drilling ahead. Numerous oil shows at several levels have been encountered in the well, which will require logging at the completion of drilling to evaluate their potential.
5. POE-7 Exploration Well
The POE-7 exploration well has been upgraded by the discovery of oil in the exploration well POE- 6 currently being flow tested. The POE-7 well is located in the same fault block as POE-6 and is approximately 100 metres up dip of and 1.5 kilometres to the south of Huai Phai-1 which intersected a small oil column of approximately 3 metres in good sandstone reservoir.
Building of the drilling pad for the exploration well POE-7 has commenced. Following the completion of drilling of the POE-5 well, the drilling rig will return to POE-1 to remove the previously stuck drill pipe and finish drilling, before being mobilised to POE-7. This additional work is expected to take a couple of weeks. - Web Site

Forrestania Joint Venture Update
Further exploration for gold and base metals is planned at the Forrestania Joint Venture although no significant assay results were returned from the recently completed reverse circulation drill program.
The drilling was designed to test three electromagnetic (EM) conductors previously reported. Sulphides were encountered in the RC drill samples that may be an explanation for the two southernmost EM conductors. Drilling did not explain the northernmost conductor hence further exploration is planned to assist with explaining this particular EM conductor.
EM surveys have now covered approximately 20% of the Forrestania Joint Venture area and approvals are currently being sought for clearing to enable further surveys to be completed. Once all required approvals have been obtained, EM surveys will be completed and any additional EM conductors identified will be tested with drilling.

The review of Indophil Resources NL's (Indophil) pre-feasibility study (PFS) work program on its Tampakan Copper-Gold Project in the southern Philippines has been completed. Xstrata Queensland Limited (Xstrata Copper) has formally advised Indophil of its decision to sole fund further work and therefore advance the project study process - under Indophil's management - prior to Xstrata Copper making a decision on the exercise of its option to acquire a 62.5% interest in the Tampakan project.
The PFS work program confirmed that the Tampakan project is a world class, two billion tonne resource, containing 11.6 million tonnes of copper and 14.6 million ounces of gold at a 0.3% copper cut-off grade. It also indicated potential to increase the mineral resource within the project area.
Undertaken at a cost of A$27 million (US$21 million), the PFS work program showed that the Tampakan project is robust and is potentially one of the world's outstanding 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.
Some other key findings of the PFS work program include the projected capital cost of the Tampakan project at US$1.4 billion, with other infrastructure costs of approximately US$0.5 billion potentially being undertaken by third parties.
The cash operating cost is estimated at less than US$0.70 per pound of copper, and includes allowances for third party-provided infrastructure off-site costs, transport, royalties, and treatment and refining charges, with credits for gold-in-concentrate. The projected long-term operating cost is competitively less than US$7.00 per tonne of ore milled.
The PFS work program indicates that using an alkaline sulphide leach process, Tampakan can produce a copper concentrate that is acceptable to smelters in the region.... - Web Site

Growler-1 Update
Growler-1 was spudded on the 31st August 2006 by the PEL 104 Joint Venture. Growler-1 was the first well drilled by the Joint Venture on the western margin of the Cooper Basin and was drilled on a low relief four way dip closed structure targeting the Birkhead, Hutton and Poolawanna intervals.
Growler-1 intersected a sandy sequence in the Birkhead Formation at 1727m MD where increased background gas readings and oil shows were encountered. An open hole DST was conducted over the interval 1723m MD to 1735m MD. This test recovered 35 barrels of 49 deg API oil over a two hour main flow period. No water was produced during the test. No pressure depletion was observed. Analysis of Wireline logs and Side Wall Core data have indicated the presence of a 16m gross oil column over the interval of 1724m MD to the lowest known oil at 1740m MD.
Subsequently clean up flow rates and pressure measurement tests have been conducted. The well has free flowed at rates of 20-25 BOPD with minor water cut. As part of the completion procedure the well was propellant fracture stimulated with the aim of enhancing future production rates. This procedure has not resulted in any appreciable improvement to flow rates. It is anticipated that flow rates would be enhanced if the well was put on pump. An application for an Extended Production Test was submitted to the SA authorities on the 18th October 2006. A review of petrophysical data, DST results, clean up flow test data and the completion program is being undertaken by the Joint Venture.
The Growler oil discovery covers a minimum of 450 acres (1.8 sqkm) with preliminary mean recoverable reserves of approximately 1.0 MMBBL. Recently received reprocessed seismic over the structure has shown that there is updip potential to the northeast of the well.... - Web Site

SIGNIFICANT EXTENSIONS CONFIRMED AT MERTON'S REWARD
Drill results at Merton's Reward have confirmed 500m of open-ended extensions to gold mineralization initially reported in September. Reverse circulation (RC) drilling is currently in progress to extend the zone of mineralization southwards. Additional drilling is also planned to the north to ascertain whether the new mineralization links up with a separate 300m zone of mineralization discovered in February 2006 immediately south of the Mertondale 3_4 open pit (previous production 1.3Mt @ 4.3 g/t gold). Neither zone is included in the current resource estimates which are currently being reviewed.
The Merton's Reward area forms part of the 1.8km long Mertondale South target zone (Figure 1) that is under evaluation via a 50,000m program of RC drilling that commenced in May 2006. The main objective is to increase shallow gold resources located within 120m of surface.
A full listing of October drill results (NMRC 123-139; 2,213m) and final results from the September 2006 drilling (NMRC 104-122) is provided in Table 1. More significant drill results include: -
The Merton's Reward and previously announced Mertondale South drill results (including significant intersections such as 26m at 4.8 g/t gold and 20m at 5.3 g/t gold) indicate a large mineralised system that is open along strike and at depth in all areas......- Web Site

Annual Report - Chairmans' Letter
Rusina Mining NL has entered the 2006-2007 financial year with a highly balanced and now tightly focused growth strategy designed to rapidly commercialise over the next two years initially, the potential of our flagship asset, the Acoje platinum, nickel and chromite project in the Zambales Province on Luzon Island, in the Philippines.
Significantly, our exploration program entering 06-07 now closely mirrors the emergence in global markets of longer term, higher price demand for the range of commodities which are the subject of your Company's development focus at Acoje.
Reaching this springboard position has been achieved in the past 12 months only through a determined restructuring process across our corporate, management, organizational and project activities. This process is now complete and has ensured that from balance date, Rusina has the full complement of management, operational and technical skillsets best able to accelerate the timeframes in which Acoje can be brought to fruition through a three stage process.
It is this staged process that your Board and management have begun to implement through the identification and discussion with appropriate equity and project partners, future customers and local landholders, as well as other potential stakeholders.With the restructuring complete, we want our message to be very clear and well understood.
The proposed initial move to mining the chromite resource during 2007 is not our key endeavour at Acoje, but will provide a strong cash flow at low cost and project risk that minimizes our need to dilute shareholder interests through constant capital raisings.
The second stage will involve what we see as the real attraction, potential and value-add at Acoje - development of its nickel resource. We plan to do this within an expanded project footprint around Acoje of a nature that secures project ownership, control and long-life mine potential.
The third stage involves the gradual re-assessment and evolvement of a more internationally regarded measured and drilled resource of Acoje's PGM mineralization and its associated development through partnerships with world-class operators.......................... - Web Site

XSTRATA COPPER ANNOUNCES DECISION TO SOLE FUND FURTHER WORK ON TAMPAKAN PROJECT IN THE PHILIPPINES
Brisbane, 1 November 2006
Xstrata Copper announces its decision to sole fund further work that it considers necessary to determine whether or not to exercise its option to acquire 62.5% of the Tampakan copper-gold exploration project in the Philippines. The decision on whether to exercise or terminate the option needs to be made by Xstrata Copper upon completion of this work, but in any event no later than 31 December 2007.
A pre-feasibility study funded and managed by ASX-listed company Indophil Resources NL and its Philippines affiliate Sagittarius Mines Inc. was completed in September 2006 and a report was subsequently delivered to Xstrata Copper.
Xstrata Copper Executive General Manager - Project Development Peter Forrestal said a decision by Xstrata Copper was necessary following receipt of the Indophil report on the pre-feasibility work program and the completion of the required expenditure of AUD27 million by Indophil.
"Xstrata Copper is in the process of reviewing the results of the Indophil pre-feasibility study, which confirms Tampakan as a major undeveloped copper-gold deposit. In the time since Indophil's study began, the Tampakan Mineral Resource has grown substantially, which has increased the scale, complexity and potential viability of the project...... - Web Site

Stocks closed mixed for a second straight session Tuesday after a dip in consumer confidence countered better-than-expected quarterly results from companies such as Eastman Kodak Co.
However, Wall Street ended an unusually strong October with solid gains for the month.
The market was uneasy after the Conference Board said its index of consumer confidence fell to 105.4 from 105.9 in September. The reading was well below the 107.8 analysts expected and raised concerns on Wall Street about the strength of consumer spending, and in turn, the economy, in the coming months.
Advancing issues barely outnumbered decliners, on increased volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Robust demand and low inventories helped pushed zinc to an all-time high at the London Metals Exchange, while a weaker U.S. currency gave support to most metals.

BRIGHTSTAR GOLD PROJECT
Overview
The BrightStar Gold Project is situated in the prospective gold belt around Laverton in Western Australia.
A feasibility study is currently underway to establish a high grade mining operation for A1. Once operational, it is expected that the cash flow generated from mining will fund future exploration and development.
A1 looks forward to the future with confidence, moving from exploration and development, to becoming a potential long term gold producer in the Laverton Region......
NARNOO EXPLORATION PROJECT
A1's 100% owned Narnoo Project has strong potential for gold and uranium deposits and is located approximately 250 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie and 30 kilometres southeast of the Minigwal and Lightfoot playa lake systems.
Soil sampling continues over unexplored parts of the remote Lightfoot Lake greenstone belt. Multi element assaying of the samples is to be collated with geomorphology, geology and survey data during the next quarter. Interestingly, greenstones outcrop in places previously thought to be under deep cover of sediments which augurs well for near surface mineralisation. - Web Site

PROJECTS
Manbarrum Lead-Zinc-Silver Project
The Manbarrum project is the flagship exploration project of the Company. The formal grant of title over the Project in 2005 represented a key milestone together with the issue of the Clearance Certificate by AAPA, and the amended certificate in August 2006.
As a result of these milestones being achieved and after waiting for the extended wet season to abate, and cultural issues to pass, exploration commenced.
Manbarrum is located 70 kilometres north-east of Kununurra in the Northern Territory. The granted tenements consist of an Exploration Licence and an Authority to Prospect under Section 178 covering a combined area of over 200 square kilometres. An additional Exploration Licence has been applied for and completes coverage of the Bonaparte Shelf Margin where numerous gravity anomalies have identified stratigraphic and structural targets within the prospective Burt Range Formation. - Web Site

AUSTRALIAN OPERATIONS
During the quarter Icon Energy Limited tendered for four (4) new areas offered by the Queensland Government in the Surat and Cooper Eromanga Basin.
Icon has subsequently been notified that Icon and its joint venture partners have been selected as the preferred tenderers in two (2) of these new permits and has been invited to respond accepting the offer from the Government within the prescribed period of offer. Upon acceptance by Icon and payment of the deposits under the new Queensland Petroleum Act of 2004, ATP 849P in the Cooper Eromanga Basin and ATP 855P in the Surat Basin will subsequently be awarded. Icon will hold an 80% working interest in both permits and negotiations are already in progress with a potential farmin partner to conduct the initial work and drill farmin wells.
In regard to the construction of the new drilling rig, a portion of the monies received from Tiger Energy Inc (Tiger) in the US have been paid as the deposit payment to Gallagher Engineering. This deposit secures the rig construction slot and enables preparation of the plans for the engineering approvals required to meet the international safety and design requirements.
The balance of the monies paid by Tiger have been returned to be replaced by PetroSun Inc. (PertoSun)and the Contract amended accordingly. This transfer from Tiger to PetroSun occurred due to changed funding arrangements, whereby the OTC listed PetroSun became the funder for the group. The replacement capital will be reflected in the quarterly report ended 31st December 2006.
US OPERATIONS
Revenue of $A106,872 from petroleum production in the Bayou Choctaw Field has not been included in the cash flow summary as it has been offset against operating expenses incurred by the operator CLK Energy Partners LLC (CLK) currently exceed income.
The operator CLK has been seeking a replacement financial partner in Bayou Choctaw and as soon as current negotiations are completed, it is expected that new drilling operations will commence.
Present indications are that drilling will recommence in the first quarter of 2007. The new drilling plans allow for two (2) new wells in the Wilberts Lease and a re-entry or re-drill of AMI #1 to intersect the lower production zone which could not be completed due to mechanical problems encountered during initial drilling.

First Quarter Activities Report - OVERVIEW
Union Resources Limited (Union) is focused on the Mehdiabad Base Metal project (Project) located in central Iran.
Extensive diamond drilling has outlined a resource totalling 394 million tonnes at 4.2% Zn, 1.6% Pb and 36 g/t Ag, of which over 90% is either Measured or Indicated under the JORC Code. This is one of the largest undeveloped zinc resources in the world.
The resource includes an open cut mining reserve of 239 million tonnes at 3.7% Zn, 1.1% Pb and 28 g/t Ag classified as probable ore under the JORC Code.
Assay results from one of the last holes from the drilling programme, (DH 8433), were received during the quarter. This hole intersected 77 metres at 7.05% Zn, 4.1% Pb and 76 g/t Ag. The intersection is at the northern end of the resource and may reflect a richer feeder zone, continuing northwards, beyond the current drilling extremities?
Aker Kvaerner Australia (AKAU) completed a 14 volume Feasibility Study Report on the Project development in May 2006, as the third phase of a Bankable Feasibility Development Programme (BFDS). The "Optimum Case” development, identified in the AKAU report, involves the development of a major world class open pit mine, and an SX- EW Plant designed to produce 300,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) zinc metal at site, with up to a further 100,000 tpa zinc metal in concentrates to be sold to others for refining, and a further 100,000 tpa of lead and 7 million ounces of silver in a lead /silver concentrate.
The economic studies associated with the Feasibility Study Report show that the "Optimum Case” development is attractive at a zinc price of US$1,700 per tonne, producing zinc at an operating cost of US$290 per tonne of zinc metal, after allowance of lead/silver credits. However, the "Optimum Case” development would involve a capital investment estimated by AKAU to total US$1.6 billion..... - Web Site

1.1 Project: Garcitas Ranch, Prospect: Garcitas Ranch, Well: Garcitas Ranch C-1
Antares Energy executed a Participation Agreement and Joint Venture Operating Agreement with Hollimon Oil Corporation as the Operator on 25 October 2006, to participate at a working interest level of 23.5% in the drilling of an initial 13,000 foot well named Garcitas Ranch C-1, to test Middle and Upper Wilcox objectives in Victoria County, Texas. The well is expected to spud during November.
The agreement covers a 2,000 acre lease with 2 gas prospects defined by seismic amplitude anomalies on good quality re-processed 3D seismic. Project potential varies between 45-75 BCF (Billion cubic feet).
The Garcitas Ranch C-1 well will test the crest of the seismically defined structure. The well will be drilled approximately 80 feet up-dip from a 1987 discovery well which flowed at a rate of over 10 million cubic feet of gas per day (MMcf/d) on test and had over 110 feet of gross gas pay (78 feet net) and 167 feet of gross sand section (115 feet net).........- Web Site

METALLICA MINERALS ANNOUNCES $2 MILLION JOINT VENTURE TO EXPLORE COAL-TO- LIQUIDS POTENTIAL IN SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND
Metallica Minerals Limited (ASX Code ‘MLM') today announced a $2 million joint venture agreement to explore the potential for converting some of the company's south-east Queensland coal to liquid fuels.
Metallica said it had entered an agreement with Eastern Mining Corporation Pty Ltd (EMC) - a subsidiary of Brisbane-based coal-to-liquids specialist, Ambre Energy Pty Ltd - under which EMC could earn a 75% stake in Metallica's Condamine Coal project tenements for the outlay of $2 million in exploration and evaluation.
Metallica Managing Director, Mr Andrew Gillies, said EMC would commence a drilling program on the Condamine tenements, located between Toowoomba and Warwick, as soon as a rig could be secured.
"Based on published data from nearby mines and coal deposits, it is believed that Metallica's Condamine Coal tenements will contain coal with hydrogen levels of approximately 5-6%, making it highly suitable for economic conversion to liquids, such as diesel,” Mr Gillies said.
"We believe the joint venture provides an excellent opportunity to potentially develop Metallica's Condamine Coal prospects with the aid of an experienced and well backed partner with access to established coal-to-liquid fuel technology. - Web Site

First Quarter Activities Report - OPERATIONS REVIEW
Australian China Clays Limited (ACC)
Andrew Pleeth was recruited during the quarter and joined us in October as the new CEO for the china clay business. Andrew brings extensive experience in kaolin business development and was previously a marketing director of a mainstream Brazilian kaolin exporter. Andrew is conducting an overall review of our operations in order to best support the planned float of ACC in 2007. The major thrust will be concentrating efforts on key target customers. Discussions continue with 2 paper mills and additional samples have been forwarded to them. We have also entered discussions with other interested Asian paper mills and samples will be sent next quarter, however our production capacity for this product is limited to 75,000 tpa. Andrew's arrival at ACC is timely as he comes with extensive paper market experience.
Skardon River Kaolin
Following the appointment of our European Business Development Manager prior quarter, we have upgraded our agency arrangements in a number of European countries and have expanded our coverage in Eastern Europe and Middle East. A technical training seminar is scheduled in November to coordinate and plan our sales objectives under these new arrangements. Sales continue at a very modest quantities being effectively trial production purchases, however a number of customers are discussing larger forward orders for next quarter. Actual customers rose to 80 accounts by end September with many additional samples being forwarded to prospective new customers. The plant processed a further 325 tonnes during the quarter aimed at restocking inventories and a mining campaign has been planned for next quarter.
An independent valuation was undertaken on the Skardon River operation which has significantly increased the value to A$143 million from A$101 million previously.
Swan River Kaolin
The pilot plant has been moved to a 3 shift basis post quarter end in order to recover the lost time incurred with the inoperable Tube Press which is a specialist piece of equipment we have hired from overseas. Various grades of samples have been produced totaling approximately 60 tonnes and internal test work verifies the high quality obtained from the deposit and processing methods. The key objective from next quarter to end 2006 is the technical approval of various samples from target end users and offtake arrangements.
Logistics
General improvements in route options and costings were achieved in the quarter. Planning work was initiated to anticipate larger shipment volumes later this year. An updated hydrographic survey was conducted on Skardon River.
Geology
General update work is in process. This work is satisfactory with no significant matters to report, however additional work is planned next quarter as a mining campaign will be conducted to cover anticipated feed requirements for new paper mill customers in 2007.
CORPORATE
During the quarter, the Company made a $7 million, 1 for 1 rights issue offer to its shareholders at a price of 1 cent per share. The rights issue offer was underwritten to $3.5 million. The offer closed in October 2006 fully subscribed and 700,640,751 new ordinary shares were issued.
At the end of the quarter, 2,942,239 Series One Debentures matured and were redeemed while holders of 2,182,000 Series One Debenture elected to renew for a further 12 months to September 2007.
An independent valuation of the Company's holding (35%) of Cominco, the construction minerals business in Shanghai, recorded a A$11.25 million valuation for 100%. This business is being sold at valuation price to China Century Capital Limited, (previously named China Century Growth Fund Limited), a related entity that is to be floated as a separate business early 2007. MSC anticipates recording a capital gain of A$1.2 million on the sale of this business, versus its purchase cost of $2.7 million, and also receives a 20% income yield on this investment which has been structured as Convertible Notes. - Web Site

Wall Street ended an erratic session narrowly mixed Monday, largely shrugging off a lackluster sales report from Wal-Mart and news of weak consumer spending last month. The Dow eased a few points however the Nasdaq finished the session higher, buoyed by gains in Yahoo.
The Commerce Department reported that consumer spending rose an anemic 0.1 percent in September, the smallest increase in 10 months. Personal income, however, was up 0.5 percent.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners, on reduced volume, by about 6 to 5 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Light, sweet crude settled down $2.39 at $58.36 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange amid renewed doubts about whether OPEC would push through production cuts.
Copper erased earlier gains, leading declines of metals in London. Aluminum and zinc also dropped.
Gold futures climbed more than $6 an ounce Monday - prices for the precious metal had gained Friday with a firmer oil price and declining dollar after a surprisingly weak U.S. third-quarter growth reading.

Annual Report 2006 & Notice of AGM
Chairman's statement
The past year has been one of new initiatives being implemented on which to base the Company's future exploration, including:
Recently we have been in negotiation with senior mining companies to joint venture our Musgrave block tenements which could lead to potentially the most signifi cant agreement in the Company's history. The joint venture between ourselves, Independence Group NL and a major mining company to explore these tenements could be very rewarding for the future and potentially, not only increase the Company's treasury position, but also secure a major funding partner to spend up to $25 million on exploring the Musgrave Block tenements in the northern regions of South Australia. The Musgrave block tenements have for many years been the Company's cornerstone exploration area and patience is about to be rewarded as approval has been given by the South Australian Government to negotiate entry permits with the local traditional owners from which a resolution is expected in the coming fi nancial year.
On 18 July 2006 the Company announced the appointment of Heath Hellewell B Sc.(Hons) as Exploration Manager. Heath has over 14 years experience as a geologist in gold, base metals and diamond exploration in both Australia and overseas. Prior to joining Goldsearch, Heath's most recent position was as Chief Exploration Geologist with Independence Group NL, where he assisted to grow that company into one of Australia's most successful mining and exploration companies of the last five years.
In Queensland, Goldsearch has been prospecting and reconnaissance geological mapping the Mary Kathleen uranium tenements and has identified three main target areas suitable for further work. The present program is now dedicated to defi ning targets for drill testing which will commence during the next six months, depending on drill availability. The adjoining Duck Creek tenements are presently under offer to an interested joint venture partner. In Central Queensland, the Yorkey's and Beer and Dawson tenements are presently being assessed by a private company for purchase.
In Victoria, the Company recently completed a joint venture on the St Arnaud tenement with Sedimentary Holdings Limited. Following the agreement Sedimentary received a takeover offer. If successful the new owners may wish to release their brown fi elds exploration areas which could present an opportunity for Goldsearch. Also in Victoria, the Company has acquired substantial information on the Mount Wellington tenements from previous work. This data indicates that target mineralisation exists which, with further drilling, has the potential to become a small mining operation within a reasonable time frame. The other Victorian tenements at Sandy Creek are to be sampled to identify sites for drilling out the known mineralised zones during the current quarter, to enable the selection of a mine area for initial trial bulk sampling. Historically high-grade production is recorded from this area including the recovery of four tonnes of handpicked ore which yielded a grade of approximately 30 ounces per tonne.
A follow up auger drill sampling program at the Northern Territory site of the previous gold 29.6 gram rock chip sample on EL 5701 was carried out early in September. Assay results are pending.......- Web Site

Roaster Agreement in Finland with Kemira GrowHow
Base metals developer, Vulcan Resources Limited (ASX: VCN) ("Vulcan”), is pleased to announce that discussions with major European company Kemira GrowHow ("GrowHow”) have progressed significantly. A Letter of Intent is in place and the companies have now commenced a detailed evaluation of a cooperation on the potential treatment of nickel-cobalt concentrate from Vulcan's Kylylahti project.
The Kylylahti copper-cobalt project (100%) is currently undergoing a definitive feasibility study for the development of a 550,000tpa underground mine and processing plant. The study is managed by SNC-Lavalin Australia and is due to be completed by April 2007.
In November 2005, Vulcan completed a pre-feasibility study which recommended production of a Cu-Au concentrate for sale and a Co-Ni-Zn concentrate to be roasted and leached. Vulcan selected this option as the preferred route for the feasibility study due to the excellent metal recoveries and the creation of two revenue streams.
Vulcan has completed initial metallurgical testing on roast and leach of Kylylahti nickel-cobalt concentrate at Ammtec in Perth, Western Australia and at Outokumpu Technology in Finland. Metal recoveries from this work were excellent for cobalt, copper and zinc and moderate to excellent for nickel.... - Web Site
