The jump of nearly 2 percent in Altria's stock (after a federal appeals court decided to review a lower court ruling that let a $200 billion lawsuit filed by "light" cigarette smokers proceed as a class action) propelled the blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average to its 18th record close since the start of October and helped underpin the S&P 500's finish above the 1,400 mark for the first time in six years. Even so, concerns about signs of further weakness in the housing market restrained a broader market advance and overshadowed the boost from a second straight day of declines in crude oil prices. New housing starts dropped 14.6 percent in October to their lowest in more than six years while building permits fell 6.3 percent, the U.S. Commerce Department said.
Oil prices fell to 17-month lows, driven by fund selling across commodity markets on concern of a U.S. economic slowdown. The market was also weighed down by high U.S. oil inventories ahead of the expiry of the front-month NYMEX crude contract at the close of trade on Friday.
OPEC prepared the ground for a further ouptut cut when the group next meets in December, citing concern about potentially large rises in inventories next spring if it continues to pump at present levels.
Base metals also slid on concern that global demand for raw materials would suffer if the world's largest economy slows. London copper prices fell to their lowest levels since June.
Gold futures closed higher Friday for the first time in six sessions, but posted a loss for the week with pressure from easing inflation fears and a steep decline in oil prices partially offset by support from modest weakness in the U.S. dollar.
PROPOSED MERGER OF MWANA AFRICA PLC
AND GRAVITY DIAMONDS LIMITED
Another step for Mwana Africa towards creating a major African-focused
integrated diamond exploration and production business
Unanimous recommendation from Board of Gravity
Mwana Africa Plc (AIM: MWA) ('Mwana') and Gravity Diamonds Limited (ASX/AIM: GRN) ('Gravity') are pleased to announce their proposed merger to create an enlarged diamond exploration and production business within Mwana. This agreement follows the announcement in August 2006 that Mwana had acquired a 14.99% stake in Gravity. The merger proposal will be implemented by a scheme of arrangement pursuant to the Australian Corporations Act, whereby Mwana will offer Gravity shareholders 28 cents cash for every Gravity share held or, through an equity alternative, Mwana will offer Gravity shareholders one Mwana share for every four Gravity shares held. This will value Gravity at A$43.11 million (£17.43 million).
In so doing, Mwana will consolidate its already strong land position in the prolific Kasai craton in the Democratic Republic of Congo ('DRC') which will supplement the attributable diamond production it already owns through a 20% stake in Societe Miniere de Bakwanga ('MIBA').
Importantly, the experienced Gravity exploration team will supplement the high level experience in project development and construction that already exists within the Mwana management team.
Holders of Gravity listed options will also be asked to approve a separate scheme of arrangement pursuant to the Australian Corporations Act, under which Mwana will offer them six cents per option. The merger proposal is not conditional on the option scheme being approved and becoming effective.
The Board of Gravity has unanimously recommended that all Gravity shareholders and listed optionholders support and accept the merger proposal, in the absence of a superior proposal. Gravity Board members intend to vote their own shares and listed options in favour of the merger proposal, and will sell their unlisted options to Mwana........

PROGRESS RESULTS FROM THE LA PATRIA-LA VIRGINIA-MACLOVIA PROJECT
The Directors are pleased to announce latest drill results from the La Patria-La Virginia-Maclovia project in the Trogan tenements, located in the Temoris District, Chihuahua, Mexico.
La Patria is located along the >4 kilometre Todos Santos to Maclovia mineralised corridor, 6.5 kilometres south-southeast of the Palmarejo project. Recent diamond core and reverse circulation (‘RC') drilling has been undertaken at the La Virginia and Maclovia prospects on a 1.2 kilometre segment of the trend.
A total of 50 RC holes and 15 diamond core holes have been drilled since the beginning of 2006 for a total of 8,181 metres and 3,403 metres respectively.
Recent drilling has returned some excellent intercepts including the following down hole intercept assay results (1.0 g/t AuEq lower cut off):

SUGARLOAF-1 GAS SHOW
Eureka Energy Limited advises that at 6am Texas time on 16 November 2006, the Sugarloaf-1 exploration well was drilling ahead at 19,434 feet (5,925 metres).
Since the last well progress report released on 15 November 2006, the well has encountered a gas show over an 18 foot (5.5 metres) interval. Total gas readings peaked at 536 units from a background of about 230 units and chromatography indicates the gas consists dominantly of methane (C1), with ethane (C2), propane (C3) and a trace of butane (C4).
The economic significance of these gas indications will not be known until wire-line logs, programmed to be run after the well has reached total depth, have been interpreted and flow testing, if warranted, has been evaluated.
Drilling is continuing towards the proposed total depth of 21,000 feet (6,400 metres). - Web Site

Ellendale 7 Exploration Update
(APPROXIMATELY 500 CARATS FROM BULK SAMPLING BEING VALUED)
Kimberley Diamond Company NL (ASX: KIM, AIM: KDC) (Kimberley) is continuing to process samples collected from the Bauer wide diameter drilling program conducted over the Ellendale 7 lamproite. Ellendale 7 is a large pipe with a surface area of approximately 34 hectares located about four kilometres south-east of the Company's Ellendale 9 mining operations.
Highly encouraging grades have been recorded from a number of samples collected from along the northern margin of the pipe. An enriched zone with potentially economic diamond grades is being outlined by the ongoing processing operations. Highlights of recent results are shown in the accompanying table. The higher grade intersections from the Bauer drilling occur in areas adjacent to previously reported high grade surface bulk sample results....... - Web Site

Eremia 6 Oil Development Well Update, Onshore Perth Basin, Western Australia
Origin Energy provides the following update on the Eremia 6 oil development well operated by ARC Energy Ltd.
Eremia 6 (sidetrack of Eremia 5)
Well type: Oil development (onshore)
Location: Perth Basin, Western Australia (L1)
Eremia 5 and its sidetrack (Eremia 6) are located approximately 12 kilometres east-southeast of the township of Dongara.
Objective: Primary target: Dongara Sandstone
Proposed total depth: 2,300 metres measured depth
Progress and Status: Eremia 5 was directionally drilled using the Century Rig 18 to a total measured depth of 2,306 metres at a subsurface location approximately 306 metres northeast of the surface location. Log correlation indicated that the well landed approximately 45 metres east, and on the low side, of the Eremia Field bounding fault thereby not intersecting the target Dongara Sandstone reservoir. Eremia 5 was subsequently plugged back to 1,575 metres measured depth and sidetracked (Eremia 6) further to the west to an interpreted near-crestal intersection of the Dongara Sandstone oil reservoir.
Eremia 6 was directionally drilled to a total depth of 2,315 metres measured depth at a subsurface location approximately 200 metres northeast of the surface location.
Based on logging-while-drilling (LWD) resistivity and gamma ray logs, Eremia 6 has intersected the top of the Dongara Sandstone reservoir at 2,052 metres true vertical depth subsea, approximately 8 metres above the previous highest intersection in the field. The LWD logs indicate that Eremia 6 has intersected a 23 metre oil column with an oil-water contact at approximately the same level as the original field oil-water contact. It is therefore interpreted that this area of the field has not been drained by the existing producing wells.
At 06:00 hours WST today, preparations were underway to case the well after hole conditions prevented the acquisition of further wireline logs. The forward program is to complete the well for testing and possible future oil production. - Web Site
Chairman's address to AGM
.....Last year delivered another record operating cash flow and operating earnings result. EBITDA increased to 81 million dollars and we finished the year with cash reserves in excess of 50 million dollars. The strong result was driven by higher oil prices and a lift in gas production which was partially offset by lower oil production due to natural decline of our more mature fields Hovea and Eremia not being offset as planned by the ramp up of production from Jingemia during the year. Our cash balances are continuing to increase and are currently over 55 million dollars. Despite the stronger operating result, we did see a reduction in after tax profit to 15.4 million dollars as a result of us taking a 34 million dollar write-off of unsuccessful exploration expenses. This write-off was a prudent measure that aligns the Company more closely with international accounting standards and with our peers.
We also had another excellent operational year with no reportable Health, Safety or Environmental incidents. There is, however, substantial room for improvement in the performance of our contractors and in our non-reportable incidents and this will be a focus for the operational group in the coming year.
Our exploration portfolio was substantially expanded and enhanced during the year by the acquisition of a major exploration acreage position in the Canning Basin and the acquisition of two additional permits in the Republic of Yemen. These assets, and others we are seeking to acquire this year, will give us the exploration depth in our portfolio that we need to pursue our exploration goals.
We have entered into a long term contract with Century Drilling for Rig 18 which given us the security of knowing we can control our destiny with regard to wells and rig slots. This is a vitally important part of exploration in the current climate.
We are very encouraged by the success we have experienced in the early part of Rig 18's program, with our first three appraisal and development wells, Jingemia 8, Hovea 12 and Eremia 6 adding substantially to our production capacity. The value and strength of our core operations in the Perth Basin was graphically illustrated by the fact that we were able to bring Hovea 12 into production and start earning income from the well within 4 days of rig release, and we expect to be as quick with Eremia 6. Eremia 6 has proven to be a very exciting well with a very good reservoir intersection and a larger than expected oil column. The data we have obtained in the last few days leads us to expect that we will be able to significantly upgrade the reserves in the field once we have some production data........ - Web Site

Aurora to Participate in Oilfield Development Offshore Texas Gulf Coast through Gawler Resources Ltd (ASX code GRL)
Aurora Oil and Gas Limited (ASX: AUT) is pleased to announce that it has been able to agree terms to acquire a 30 per cent working interest (30% WI) in the High Island oil and gas exploration-development project in shallow water offshore the Texas Gulf Coast region.
Aurora Executive Chairman, Jon Stewart said: "High Island is an excellent low risk, well defined opportunity with a short timeframe to drilling and production in the event of success. We consider the shallow water of the Texas Gulf Coast offers considerable potential for additional attractive opportunities.
In order to maintain Aurora's focus on major onshore US oil and gas opportunities, we have entered in to an agreement with ASX listed company Gawler Resources Ltd that, subject to Gawler shareholder approval, would result in Gawler Resources acquiring this and future opportunities in the shallow water of the Texas Gulf Coast, with Aurora becoming a major shareholder."
To earn this interest Aurora's wholly owned subsidiary must pay certain costs (approximately US$100,000) and fund 30% of the costs of a well. - Web Site

South Gibson Exploration Well Update
Location
The South Gibson-1 well is located in Harriet Joint Venture Production Licence TL/6 and is being drilled from the Gibson/South Plato Platform.. South Gibson-1 is a deviated well drilled to a Flag Sandstone target approximately 1 kilometre east of the production platform.
Progress
At 11:30 hours today, the South Gibson-1 well had drilled ahead to the planned total depth. The Flag Sandstone reservoir has been intersected, and is interpreted to contain an oil column of less than 2 metres.
South Gibson-1 will now be plugged and abandoned.
Tap Comment
While the South Gibson-1 well has been drilled very efficiently, the volume of oil associated with a 2 metre column is too small to warrant commercial development.
The rig is now scheduled to leave the Harriet Joint Venture to drill Bricklanding-1 in TP/7, where Tap is also a participant. - Web Site

Wall Street scored a fifth straight gain and the Dow Jones industrials achieved their third straight record close Thursday after the Labor Department said falling gas prices helped push inflation down last month. Oil prices that plunged to their lowest level in a year added to the advance. The inflation report, and the prospect of a further decline as oil prices dropped, bolstered the notion that the economy could slow enough to allow the Federal Reserve to eventually lower interest rates.
The price of oil fell by more than $2 a barrel Thursday, settling at its lowest level in a year as traders focused on the bearish aspects of conflicting market trends. OPEC is cutting output, but the U.S. economy is slowing; winter is near, however the country has an abundance of home heating fuels.
London's blue-chips hit their highest close since February 2001 after soft inflation data out of the US eased investor anxiety about interest rates across the Atlantic.
Copper fell in New York to its lowest price since June on signs that slowing U.S. industrial output and rising production from China's mines may ease a supply shortage that sent prices to a record in May.
Gold futures fell Thursday to tally a loss of more than $15 during a five-session losing streak as lower energy prices and strength in the U.S. dollar dulled safe-haven demand for the precious metal.
PRESS RELEASE
PROPOSED RE-ORGANISATION PLAN FOR NEW GUINEA GOLD PROPERTY ASSETS
Vancouver, 16th November 2006New Guinea Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "NGG") holds interests in ten gold properties and two porphyry copper/gold/molybdenum properties in Papua New Guinea. The Company is focussing on gold - developing the Sinivit property (92.5% NGG) and defining resources on the Normanby property (Imwauna Project - 100% NGG), Sehulea Property (100% NGG), and Mt Penck Project (60% NGG). Although exploration is proceeding on all 12 properties, the financial resources of the company has not permitted exploration to proceed at a pace warranted by the potential of the remaining properties and present metal prices. The Company needs to obtain better value for shareholders from these assets.
Management, our investment advisers and some major shareholders are of the opinion that the present share price and market capitalisation of the Company only reflects the few key properties on which exploration/ development is currently focussed and does not factor in a value for most of the remaining properties.
Seven properties are being considered as part of the re-organisation and of these seven properties six are held in conjunction with Vangold Resources Ltd. The Boards of Directors of the partners are pleased to announce that their respective management teams are preparing a proposal for the re-organisation of mineral property assets currently held by Kanon Resources Ltd (Kanon), the Simuku porphyry copper/gold/molybdenum system held by NGG (90%) and Yeaman (10%) and the Mt Nakru porphyry copper/gold/molybdenum system held by NGG 50% and Kanon (50%). Kanon is owned 50% NGG and 50% Vangold. Each of the respective Boards of Directors have instructed their management teams to negotiate the terms of the re-organisation, review financing sources and nominate Boards of Directors.
The terms of the re-organisation are subject to the necessary financing and the respective Board's, shareholder, regulatory and statutory approvals.
The re-organisation will allow NGG to focus more closely on its three key gold properties, Sinivit (NGG 92.5%), Normanby (Imwauna 100% NGG), and Sehulea (Weioko 100% NGG). NGG will also retain its interests in J/V properties Feni and Crater Mountain. The re-organisation should allow a substantial increase in drilling activity at the key properties.
The "spin off" companies being considered for the re-organisation are:
All properties in the proposed "spin off" are described in detail (including NI 43-101 reports) at www.newguineagold.ca
Mr Bob McNeil, Chairman and CEO of NGG states: "We all believe that the best way to benefit our respective shareholders is by transferring these highly prospective mineral property assets into the two new entities. Our Board is considering how shareholders can gain most benefit from the reorganization. Our preference is to distribute some or all of the interest retained by NGG directly to shareholders in proportion to their holding in NGG but I must emphasize that at this time the Board has not made a final decision. If this reorganization is approved, it will allow us to increase our activities on these projects without further major dilution of each company's shares. For example, we would expect to increase the current expenditures at Mt Penck by at least 100%, add additional drills to the program and also start a drilling program to define resources at the copper properties. I believe this will be a great opportunity for our shareholders."
Mr. Dal Brynelsen, President and CEO of Vangold commented on the re-organisation by stating, "This is the first major step forward for Vangold's large portfolio of projects. Our mandate has always been to create solid, viable entities from our diverse projects directly enhancing shareholder value. This particular combination of properties will allow both new companies the opportunity to become such entities. The new companies will be well financed with a strong balance sheet and no debt. This will ensure that exploration and development can be expedited on a more timely schedule, with the aim of meeting our common goal that of furthering development and adding to the value of these important assets. I agree with Bob that Vangold would also look to distributing some or all of the interest retained by Vangold directly to shareholders in proportion to their holdings in Vangold."
NGG is also developing a gold project at the Sinivit property in Papua New Guinea and is currently engaged in resource definition drilling at the Imwauna Gold Project. NGG expects to commence drilling at the Weioko Project in the near future and recently completed a drilling program to test molybdenum potential at Simuku (results pending).
Drilling continues at Mt Penck and will commence at Mt Nakru in the near future.
In other PNG projects, recent field sampling and mapping at the Feni Project has defined a three square kilometer area within the former Ambitle Volcano collapse which warrants drill testing for Lihir style gold mineralisation (News Release 7 November, 2006). The Feni Project is presently held 50/50 by Vangold and NGG with Vangold retaining the right to acquire a further 25% interest.

Nzizi Drilling Report and Chinguetti Reserves Update
Exploration Area 2: Nzizi-1
Since the last report on the Nzizi-1 well, logging operations have been completed and pressure measurements taken.
Good oil shows were encountered during drilling over a gross interval of approximately 180 metres, directly above basement, in a similar section to that encountered by the Mputa-1 well, 6 kilometres northeast of Nzizi-1.
Wireline logs and pressure measurements indicate an interbedded sequence of oil bearing sands and shales. No fluid samples or testing operations were planned for this well as it was drilled in a slimhole configuration and consequently it will now be plugged and abandoned.
The well result suggests there is scope to significantly increase the recoverable volume reported so far for the Mputa/Waraga area, of around 30 million barrels, and hence further enhance the potential resource base in the Albertine Basin. Studies are underway to establish a range of development options for the existing discoveries, which allied to additional seismic currently being acquired and future appraisal drilling, will determine ultimate commerciality.
Commenting on the Nzizi-1 result, Mr. Simon Potter, Hardman MD and CEO, said:
"The fourth discovery in four wells drilled by Hardman in Exploration Area 2 proves that the working oil system extends over a significantly greater area, adding to the resource base established so far this year, and providing encouragement for future exploration of the basin.”........
OPERATOR UPDATE ON CHINGUETTI RESERVES (MAURITANIA)
Hardman notes that the Chinguetti field operator, Woodside, has today provided in a presentation to investors an update on the Chinguetti field (Hardman 19.008%), including an interim update of Chinguetti field reserves.
The operator's estimate of proven and probable reserves for the Chinguetti field of 53 mmbbls is consistent with the estimate provided by the Independent Technical Expert for the purposes of the Scheme of Arrangement for the acquisition of Hardman by Tullow Oil plc and included within Hardman's Explanatory Memorandum to shareholders dated 14 November 2006.
Hardman will provide additional information on the results of the operator's reserves review for Chinguetti when that review is made available to the joint venture. - Web Site

AGM - Excerpt from the Chairman's address
At this point, I would like to make some comment in relation to our Managing Director, Ken Talbot. As I am sure you are aware, Ken has taken a leave of absence this week to devote himself to resolving issues related to his private companies. Nicole Hollows has been appointed Acting CEO for the duration of Ken's absence and she will present the CEO'spresentation this morning.
The Board has every confidence in Nicole and the management teamand their capacity to maintain Macarthur's momentum by continuing to optimise performance of the mining operations and pursue opportunities tocreate wealth for shareholders.
The management team has been substantially strengthened over thepast six months. Nicole Hollows knows more about Macarthur Coal than anyone else. We have strong technical backup and everyone works closely together. The Board is very competent, engaged and harmonious. And something which should be emphasized, at Macarthur we have a strong work ethic and a can-do culture.
We are therefore well placed to deliver on our strategic growth plan by increasing production and delivering value through our project pipeline. Nicole will elaborate on this strategy in her presentation to you shortly.
I would like to make a couple of additional points on this topicand then move on.
The long and the short of it is that the CMC investigation will not disrupt Macarthur Coal's operations.
The Board has full confidence in Ken Talbot and looks forward tohis return at an appropriate time.
In conclusion, we are not aware of any inappropriate benefit or favour received from the Government in any of Macarthur Coal's operations.
We will not make any further comment on the investigation, but will offer full cooperation to the CMC.
In the Board's view, it is business as usual so I would now like to continue on with the AGM. - Web Site

CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS - Annual General Meeting
The resurgence of St Barbara continued during the 2006 financial year with success achieved across all Company activities - operations, exploration and financially. These have been fully reported in the Company's ASX announcements and the Annual Report.
In the 12 months since our last annual meeting, St Barbara's share price has risen from 28.5 cents on 15 November 2005 to 60 cents at the close of trade yesterday, a 111% gain. This compares with the 24% gain in the ASX Resources Index (which increased from 4,545 to 5,620) during the corresponding period.
World share markets have continued their strong performance over the past year, and the resources sector in Australia has attracted strong support, reflecting the continuing strength of the metals markets. During the 2005/06 year the average price per ounce of gold sold by St Barbara was A$694.
The gold assets purchased last year from the Administrators of Sons of Gwalia have been rejuvenated, with St Barbara advancing its objective of establishing long-life mines at Gwalia Deeps and Marvel Loch.
The announcement in the September 2006 Quarterly Report of a 73% increase in the Indicated Resource at Gwalia Deeps strengthens the potential for this to be a significant long term gold mine.
Gwalia Deeps is reaching the concluding stages of a formal feasibility assessment, with the outcome scheduled for decision early in 2007.
We have largely completed an extensive drilling programme at Gwalia Deeps with a view to increasing the size of Reserves at an early date.
Two of the drill rigs have now been relocated to Marvel Loch and the Southern Cross area so that we can better assess the significant encouragement from recent drilling below past and current mining areas, also with a view to increasing the Reserves at an early date. ..... - Web Site
MANAGING DIRECTOR'S ADDRESS - Annual General Meeting 16 November 2006
Our involvement with St Barbara now extends to nearly 2.5 years. With our initial success of refinancing the Company, the timely acquisition of the gold assets from the Administrators of Sons of Gwalia, the subsequent divestment of the South Laverton asset and the divestment of the Company's old homebase at Meekatharra, a solid platform for future growth and wealth creation has been established.
To be clear our focus and bias is gold in Australia.
The future creation of wealth for our shareholders and workforce, the Southern Cross and Leonora communities, and other stakeholders will be pursued in an energetic and enthusiastic but disciplined approach. Our focus will continue to be:

$6.35 MILLION SHARE PLACEMENT
Beaconsfield Gold has finalised the placement of 27.6 million new shares (15% of existing issued shares) at a price of 23 cents per share, raising $6.35 million. The placement takes the Company's total effective cash position to approximately $11.1 million, including the Company's share of cash held in the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture.
The placement was made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which allows for the issue of up to 15% of existing shares without shareholder approval and, in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, was necessarily made to sophisticated and professional investors only.
Chief Executive Officer Mr Bill Colvin said: "Beaconsfield Gold now has a robust cash balance to fund its share of Joint Venture costs whilst the mine re-opens and production ramps-up during the 2007 year. It also places us in a strong position, both during the current negotiations to restructure ownership of the mine, or in the event that Allstate's very difficult financial position compels a sale of its interest in the Joint Venture."

Chairman's Address to Shareholders
It is with pleasure that we hold today the second Annual General Meeting of Stellar Resources as a publicly listed company. In the two short years since our creation, we have enjoyed a period of significant and fruitful activity and built a solid platform of projects. The backdrop of a world wide boom in resources, with record prices for most metals, gives us continuing cause for optimism.
Some highlights of the past, very busy, year are:
Not all exploration is successful and we therefore relinquished several projects which we considered either lacked sufficient prospectivity or were beyond an acceptable risk/reward profile.
We move steadfastly towards our goal of making valuable discoveries of minerals..........

SUCCESSFUL STIMULATION OF HIGHTOWER 3-23, AMBER FIELD 17 November 2006
Hightower 3-23
The Hightower 3-23 well has been successfully fracture stimulated with the current flow rate in line with pre drill expectations.
The well is located in North West of Section 23 as shown in the map below.
The well was cased at a total depth of 10,750 feet. During the current operation the well was perforated across the pay zone between 10,527 and 10,579 feet. The zone was then stimulated using 215,000 gallons of nitrogen enhanced foam which placed 425,000 pounds of propannt
Flow back operations were undertaken with first sales being recorded on November 11. The well continues to unload frac fluids with gas sales rates increasing from an initial 790,000 cfpd, to 920,000 cfpd and to the rate yesterday which was at 970,000 cfpd. This rate is expected to increase as the frac fluid is recovered. The gas flow rate and the recorded shut in pressures are diagnostic that the reservoir has not been drained by the prior development pattern.
This well will add to Samson's net gas sales from this field which prior to the connection of this well was at 971 mmcfpd and are expected to total 1,232 mmcfpd with the addition of the Hightower 3- 23...... - Web Site

Clarification of Previous Announcement - Zinc Assay Checks
Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
Further to the announcement that was released by the Australian Stock Exchange on 14 November regarding independent check assays conducted by Genalysis on the Company's zinc assay results from its Kihabe Base Metals Project in Botswana, the Company wishes to clarify the following:
Based on independent rechecks conducted by Genalysis on 184 samples, there is a strong possibility that the zinc grades from the various infill RC drill holes previously announced by the Company could be some 20% higher.
To confirm whether this is the case, the Company has arranged for further check assays to be conducted.

Aurora to Participate in Oilfield Development Offshore Texas Gulf Coast through Gawler Resources Ltd (ASX code GRL)
Aurora Oil and Gas Limited (ASX: AUT) is pleased to announce that it has been able to agree terms to acquire a 30 per cent working interest (30% WI) in the High Island oil and gas exploration-development project in shallow water offshore the Texas Gulf Coast region.
Aurora Executive Chairman, Jon Stewart said: "High Island is an excellent low risk, well defined opportunity with a short timeframe to drilling and production in the event of success. We consider the shallow water of the Texas Gulf Coast offers considerable potential for additional attractive opportunities.
In order to maintain Aurora's focus on major onshore US oil and gas opportunities, we have entered in to an agreement with ASX listed company Gawler Resources Ltd that, subject to Gawler shareholder approval, would result in Gawler Resources acquiring this and future opportunities in the shallow water of the Texas Gulf Coast, with Aurora becoming a major shareholder.”
To earn this interest Aurora's wholly owned subsidiary must pay certain costs (approximately US$100,000) and fund 30% of the costs of a well....... - Web Site

Seven Hills Exploration Update
Auzex has received approval from the NSW Department of Primary Industries (Mineral Resources) to commence a costeaning (trenching) and scout drilling program at the Seven Hills Gold Project, north-east of Glen Innes. Costeaning is necessary to expose bedrock for mapping and sampling, and to assist in siting drill holes.
The program will test a large soil anomaly within a 3,500m by 1,500m area of interest where bedrock exposure is very poor. One zone, 1,100m by 200m, has a large number of soil values in the range 100-600ppb gold. Recent rock chip assays from within this zone have recorded values up to 24 g/t gold.
Signs of historic alluvial operations occur within the area, but there has been no recorded modern exploration. The costean and drill program will commence shortly and be completed before Christmas.- Web Site

BEACH PETROLEUM LTD - MARKET CAPITALISATION OF MORE THAN $A1 BILLION
Beach Petroleum Ltd has joined an exclusive club of Australian petroleum companies with a market capitalisation of more than $A1 billion following its recent $A247 million rights issue. Funds from the capital raising will be used to repay part of the bridging facility established by the company to acquire the Delhi Petroleum group.
Beach Petroleum's recent $247 million rights issue, to repay part of the bridging facility established by the company to acquire the Delhi Petroleum group, has resulted in the company's total issued capital growing to approximately 790 million shares.
Strong growth in the company's oil and gas production rates and a dramatic expansion of its petroleum reserves has resulted in a massive expansion of the company's worth in the past two years.
In September this year the rapid growth of Beach Petroleum was recognised by the inclusion of the company into the S&P/ASX 200 index, confirming its status as one of Australia's fastest growing oil and gas exploration and production companies....... - Web Site

MIDDLETON & UDACHA GAS RESERVES
Beach Petroleum reports that interpretation of the results of extended production testing of the Middleton-1 and Udacha-1 wells indicates gross Proved and Probable Recoverable Sales Gas Reserves of:
Middleton 6.3 PJ
Udacha 3.4 PJ
The Middleton and Udacha gas discoveries are located in the South Australian Cooper Basin, approximately 50 km northwest of Moomba and 6-12 km from the nearest existing gas infrastructure. Development of the fields and commencement of gas production is now subject to negotiation of gas sales agreements and/or access arrangements with respect to exiting infrastructure.
Middleton-1 was drilled in February 2006 and flowed gas on Drill Stem Test (DST) at rates of up 12 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) from the Patchawarra Formation. Production testing indicates that similarly high rates can be achieved from Middleton-1 when sales commence. Udacha-1, also drilled in early 2006, flowed gas on DST at approximately 0.4 mmcfd. However test results indicate that rates in excess of 2 mmcfd should be achievable with fracture stimulation.
Beach considers that the Middleton/Udacha area has high prospectivity for further high deliverability gas discoveries. A 180 sq km 3D seismic survey will be acquired in this area in early 2007, to be followed by further exploration drilling later that year........ - Web Site

Brazilian Agreement Reached
Gold Aura Limited (GOA) announces that it has signed an agreement to acquire up to an initial 60% equity in a high grade gold and base metal property in the Tapajos region of Para State in northern Brazil, conditional upon confirmation of the vendor's title to the relevant tenements. It is hoped that confirmation will be received in the next few months.
The Tapajos Mineral Province covers an area of 168,000 km2 within the Amazon Region of Northern Brazil. The geology of the region comprises locally altered and mineralised Middle Proterozoic felsic volcanics and intrusive rocks with only minor sedimentary units. Primary gold mineralisation is strongly structurally controlled and is mainly of the fissure vein and vein-stockwork styles developed within regional shear zones.
The Mineral Province has been a significant gold producer with total production from the first discovery in 1958, estimated to be around 18 Moz. Production peaked in the period 1983 to 1989 when more than 300,000 local artisinal miners produced about 1 Moz per year. This production has been predominately from alluvial and elluvial deposits although more recently the region has been recognised as a major hardrock gold province. It is widely believed that the Tapajos region has the potential to host a variety of high grade medium (>0.5 Moz Au) to large (>3 Moz Au) open-pittable, oxide and mixed oxide/sulphide deposits.- Web Site

Wall Street rallied again Wednesday, with the Dow Jones industrials scoring another record close as investors grew more confident that the Federal Reserve has inflation in hand. An $8 billion bid from US Airways Group Inc. for Delta Air Lines Inc. added to the market's momentum.
Broader stock indicators also gained. The S&P advanced 3.35, or 0.24 percent, to 1,396.57, passing 1,400 mark for the first time since 2000. The S&P's record high of 1,527.46 came in the spring of 2000.
The Nasdaq composite index rose 12.09, or 0.50 percent, to 2,442.75, its highest level in 5 3/4 years.
Oil rose on Wednesday after U.S. data showed sharp falls in fuel inventories in the world's largest consumer, while OPEC's president said the group might cut crude output again in December.
Copper prices fell in New York on speculation demand will ease after global inventories climbed and reports signaled slowing economies in the U.S. and China, the world's largest consumers of the metal.
Gold fell for a fourth straight session as the prospect of better returns from U.S. equities eroded the appeal of the precious metal. Investor demand for gold fell 10 percent in the third quarter, the producer-funded World Gold Council said today.

Clarification of Previous Announcement - Zinc Assay Checks
Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
Further to the announcement that was released by the Australian Stock Exchange on 14 November regarding independent check assays conducted by Genalysis on the Company's zinc assay results from its Kihabe Base Metals Project in Botswana, the Company wishes to clarify the following:
Based on independent rechecks conducted by Genalysis on 184 samples, there is a strong possibility that the zinc grades from the various infill RC drill holes previously announced by the Company could be some 20% higher.
To confirm whether this is the case, the Company has arranged for further check assays to be conducted.

Chairman's 2006 AGM Address
As you are already aware Kingsgate achieved a net profit for the year of $16.7 million from production of 140,071 ounces of gold and 459,701 ounces of silver, all up significantly on the previous year.
The result was achieved due to consistent mine production, improved processing capacity and a continued focus on costs which actually improved during the year in an environment where most producers have been severely impacted by rising costs.
A decision was made early in the past financial year to aggressively deliver into the hedge positions to allow investors greater leverage to the gold price and manage the new AIFRS accounting standards. The original gold hedge positions existed due to the original mine development being 100% debt financed in 2001 when gold prices were $US260 per ounce.
Unfortunately these good times have not continued into the current financial year, and, as already reported in our first quarter's result, production is down and costs have increased due to an early onset of wet weather and a short term under performance on predicted grade. Whilst we still do not see this as more than a short term phenomenon, since there is still no significant improvement in this quarter so far it is clear that this half year's performance will be severely impacted, as both production levels and profits are strongly correlated to grade. The impact on the full year is too early to evaluate, but it is relevant to note that once production is lost it is very difficult to retrieve. Hence we are looking at a reduced production level for the full year but its extent is too early to predict.
The production conditions being experienced are typical of operating in the lower sections of a single pit in quite restrictive circumstances in hard rock. The A pit, whilst contributing some softer material, is so far fairly low grade as well and quite constrained in its configuration, although grades do increase with depth.
This only goes to highlight how important the granting of the North Chatree leases is to your company and how frustrating it has been to all concerned that this process has been unable to be accelerated. Everything has been done by your company to progress these Mining Leases and it is believed that the final major hurdle in the granting process - the Environmental Impact Assessment – is in the final stages of approval.......... - Web Site

Alinta Announces Cash Offer for AIH - Flags Restructure of Asset Ownership
Alinta announced today it would make an unconditional cash takeover offer for Alinta Infrastructure Holdings Limited (AIH) and has flagged a restructure of Alinta's capital structure to more effectively align its growth and yield operations to investor objectives.
Alinta will offer $2.06 cash per partly paid security for the approximately 80% of securities it does not already own in AIH.
Alinta's offer will relieve AIH security holders of the requirement to pay the second instalment of $1.20 if they accept in sufficient time to enable Alinta to process and lodge the acceptance for registration with AIH before 20 December 2006. Any security holders who accept after 20 December and have paid the second instalment will receive $3.26.
The consideration of $2.06 cash per partly paid security represents a 15.5% premium to the 3 month volume weighted average price of AIH securities2 and has been determined based on the following:

New Drilling Results ConfirmMt Fitch Uranium Potential
New drill results continue to improve the definition of and confidence in the previously announced JORC compliant uranium resource of 14.5 million pounds contained U3O8 at this prospect (ASX report of 14 July 2006).
Assay results are now available for a further 20 R/C drill holes (2,323 metres). The location of holes relative to the surface projection of the Mt Fitch uranium mineralisation is shown in Figure 1. The main uranium intercepts are summarised in Table 1.
Latest drilling has recorded grades exceeding 1% (22 lbs/tonne) U3O8 over 1 metre intervals within a broad envelope of uranium mineralisation outlined in Figure 1. It also shows evidence that the uranium deposit overlaps the Mt Fitch oxide copper resource to the east and a newly discovered zone of copper, cobalt and nickel mineralisation above the Uranium rich zone to the northwest.
Apart from fully delineating the resource, an important aspect of the current drill programme is to close up drill spacing in order to provide improved resource reliability in areas where less reliable holes drilled in the 1960's predominate. This will enable JORC resources to be converted to minable reserves applying costs developed by the Mt Fitch uranium development study (in progress) anticipated for completion in January 2006.
The drill programme is showing that good uranium grades occur over an intercept thickness up to 130 metres (hole 06MF035 radiometric log interpretation) near the centre of the deposit, breaking up into a series of stacked lenses varying from several metres to 20 metres at the margins. The distribution of mineralisation is very favourable for a simple open pit mining operation.
It is noteworthy from holes 06MF029 and 06MF030 that oxidised copper mineralisation, associated with high grade cobalt nickel, occurs along the margin of the previously announced Mt Fitch copper resource. It now appears that these two deposits overlap in part along the eastern margin of the Mt Fitch uranium resource....... - Web Site

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FUELS FURTHER RESERVES UPGRADE
Stuart Petroleum today announced at its Annual General Meeting that recent development activity had exceeded expectations and that increased production performance early in the December quarter has given rise to the likelihood that reserves added during the half year ending 31 December 2006 could total up to one million barrels (Stuart share). At this level, total Reserves, net of production would reflect an increase of over 30% on 30 June 2006 reserves of 2.157 million barrels.
In commenting on the expected increase, the Managing Director of Stuart, Mr. Tino Guglielmo noted that reserves already added in the September quarter totaled nearly 600,000 barrels of oil as a consequence of work conducted during the quarter, including the fracture stimulation program conducted at Padulla.
Mr. Guglielmo said that, "Further development work at Worrior, Padulla, Harpoono, Revenue and Derrilyn give rise to our expectations that reserves are substantially in excess of previous assessments and that an additional increment of approximately 400,000 barrels of oil would be booked at 31 December by the Company. The improved production performance experienced in the December quarter is expected to continue over the remainder of the financial year," he said......... - Web Site

Major dilling programs underway at Gidgee WA
Placer Dome Australia has advised that reverse circulation/diamond drilling has commenced at Gateway Mining's highly prospective Victory Creek project at Gidgee, Western Australia.
Placer Dome is drilling two reverse circulation precollared diamond holes to test whether a magnetic/gravity target is mineralised.
The holes are on the section 750 100E and the first hole is expected to go to a depth of approximately 600 metres. A third diamond hole is proposed if results from the first two prove encouraging.
This 600m hole will ensure that the magnetic target is intersected. The second hole is anticipated to go to a depth of around 400 metres.
Placer Dome, now a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation, the world's biggest gold miner, can earn a 70% stake in Victory Creek by spending A$4 million.
Placer is testing the potential for the presence of a large gold deposit at Victory Creek, an anomaly that has been defined by geochemistry, gravity and magnetics within a concession area that is heavily mineralized. Initial results from this campaign are likely from around mid-December.- Web Site

Third Quarter 2006 Production Results for Cambior
IAMGOLD Corporation ("the Company") (TSX:IMG)(NYSE:IAG)(ASX:IGD)(BSE:IAMGOLD) is pleased to announce the operating results of the former Cambior Inc. ("Cambior") assets for the third quarter: Rosebel, Doyon Division, Sleeping Giant and Niobec Niobium Mine.
HIGHLIGHTS
Total gold production from these assets in the third quarter of 2006 totalled 125,000 ounces with mine operating costs of $340 per ounce, compared to production of 158,300 ounces with costs of $314 per ounce during the corresponding period in 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, production reached 378,000 ounces of gold with mine operating costs of $332 per ounce, compared to 496,800 ounces at $284 per ounce, a year earlier. The decrease in production for both the current quarter and the year-to-date, is partially attributable to the end of operations at the Omai mine in September 2005. - Web Site

Wall Street continued higher Tuesday, with the Dow Jones industrials surging further into record territory after a Federal Reserve official indicated the Fed will maintain its policy of stable interest rates.
Earlier, the Labor Department said inflation at the wholesale level as measured by the Producer Price Index dropped by 1.6 percent last month following a 1.3 percent slide in September. Plunging energy prices were behind the declines, which gave Wall Street some relief from concerns that rising inflation might prompt the Fed to raise rates after three straight meetings where they were left unchanged.
Bonds rose on the inflation news.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners, on significantly higher volume, by nearly 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil continued to ease amid speculation that warm weather in parts of the U.S. has reduced fuel consumption.
Copper prices rose for the first time in three sessions on speculation the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates in a bid to revive U.S. economic growth, improving demand for metals.
Lead declined for a third consecutive trading session in London on speculation last week's rally to a record was exaggerated as stockpiles grew.
Gold futures pulled back from an earlier high above $630 an ounce Tuesday to tally a three-session loss of nearly 2% as traders mulled the latest U.S. economic data and moves in the dollar.
INTERNATIONAL OIL/GAS GROUP TO OBTAIN INTEREST IN LAKES OIL'S GIPPSLAND ONSHORE PERMITS
Up to $40 million (US$30 million) to be spent in Victorian properties including $4 million (US$3 million) capital injection into Lakes Oil
Lakes Oil N.L. (Lakes Oil, ASX listing code "LKO"), based in Melbourne, announces that Lakes and PetroHunter Energy Corporation of Denver, Colorado ("PetroHunter Energy") have entered into an agreement under which they will jointly develop Lakes Oil's on-shore petroleum prospects (focusing on unconventional gas resources) in the Gippsland and Otway basins in Victoria, Australia.
The arrangement is subject to various conditions precedent, including completion of satisfactory due diligence, and the satisfactory processing of retention lease applications in respect of PEP 157 and PEP 158.
Rob Annells, Chairman of Lakes Oil, stated, "We are delighted to welcome Mr. Marc Bruner and his team to Victoria. I believe their worldwide expertise in unconventional reservoirs and tight gas in particular is second to none, and this will help Lakes Oil move our onshore Gippsland permits from exploration to production."
Lakes Oil believes that the onshore Gippsland permits will become a valuable new asset for Victoria, strategically placed for new industry and low emission power generation.

Kihabe Base Metals Project - Zinc Assay Checks
Ravensgate, Consulting Geologists, commissioned by the Company to produce a resource model and estimate based on drilling results to date on the Company's Kihabe Base Metals Project in Botswana, has compiled an initial statistical analysis of sample grade comparisons between the primary assay results (including those announced to the market) and independent check assay results conducted by Genalysis Laboratory Services in Perth (Genalysis).
Ravensgate's analysis was run on 184 primary samples that have so far been checked by Genalysis with the following results:
Lead: All primary results (including those announced to the market) and Genalysis check assay results showed an excellent correlation.
Zinc: All primary assay results, regardless of grade (including those announced to the market) were on average 20% lower in value when compared with the check assays conducted by Genalysis.
To confirm whether or not the zinc assay results, which the Company has announced to the market, have been understated by some 20%, the Company has arranged for further check assays to be conducted on the original sample pulps in the primary laboratory as well as in an independent laboratory.
The process of checking assay results is necessary prior to releasing a resource estimate.

Stellar announces exploration support in Goldfinger Zinc Prospect
Stellar Resources is pleased to announce that BHP Billiton has agreed to contribute to the ongoing evaluation of the Goldfinger zinc prospect, situated some 20km south of Broken Hill, NSW. The Goldfinger prospect was generated from the NSW Department of Primary Industry funded FALCON® gravity survey of the region surrounding Broken Hill, flown in 2003.
Stellar has earned a 51% interest in the Joint Venture (JV) in which this prospect is situated (a JV with Triako Resources Limited, now CBH Resources Limited, and Anglogold Ashanti Australia Limited) and has recently elected to sole fund further exploration to earn a 60% interest in the JV.
Stellar and BHP Billiton have signed an agreement whereby BHP Billiton will reimburse Stellar's costs of carrying out an extensive "MIMDAS" induced polarisation (IP) survey over the full extent of the Goldfinger gravity target. MIMDAS is a digital acquisition IP system with deep seeking capabilities for better definition of sulphide targets at depths greater than conventional geophysical systems. The MIMDAS survey is currently under way and once completed, BHP Billiton may then elect to finance the next phase of Stellar's earn-in to 60%. Under the JV terms this requires a further $1million to be expended on exploration prior to November 2007. In return for its contributions to this second phase of the earn-in, BHP Billiton will be entitled to a pro-rata reduction in the cash payment which would be due to Stellar Resources should BHP Billiton elect to exercise its ("claw back") right to buy in to the JV, as prescribed in the Falcon Access Agreement (FAA). Full details of the FAA are contained in Stellar's 2005 Prospectus.
Stellar is pleased that this survey and the new arrangement will accelerate the evaluation of the zinc mineralisation associated with the Goldfinger FALCON® gravity anomaly. Goldfinger has only been partially drill tested over some 600m of the 3km strike length and in particular, the western extent of the anomaly has never been drill tested.
The Board of Stellar Resources welcomes BHP Billiton's support for the exploration potential of this very exciting FALCON® gravity target.

Acquisition of Additional Canning Basin Areas - confirmation of commencement of drilling program
ARC Energy is pleased to announce the acquisition of additional interests in the Canning Basin in accordance with its ongoing program of consolidation of its position in the area. The attached release from Empire Oil and Gas NL sets out the details. In summary, under the terms of the various agreements and assignments, ARC will increase its interest in the Point Torment area from 8% to 32.95% and will assume operatorship of the areas.
Subject to the usual operational constraints, the Stokes Bay 1 well to test the extent of the Point Torment gas accumulation and the underlying Valentine Prospect, will be the first well drilled in ARC's dry season drilling program in April/May 2007...... - Web Site
Eremia 6 Development Well Update
ARC Energy Limited advises that the Eremia 6 well, operated by ARC Energy and located in the onshore Perth Basin, has now reached a total depth of 2,315 metres measured depth. At 0600 WST today wireline logging was underway. A forward program to complete the well for testing and possible future oil production will be based on the wireline logging analysis.
Based on Logging While Drilling (LWD) resistivity and gamma logs, the well has intersected the Dongara Sandstone reservoir at 2,052 metres true vertical depth (TVD) sub-sea, approximately 8 meters above the previous highest intersection in the field (at Eremia 1). From the LWD logs, Eremia 6 is interpreted to have intersected a 23 meter oil column with an oil water contact at approximately the same level as the original field oil water contact. It is interpreted therefore that this location has not been drained by the existing producing wells in the field......... - Web Site

Wall Street Has Moderate Rise Ahead of Economic Data
Wall Street extended its November rally into a new week Monday, betting that an upcoming series of economic reports will show strength in the overall economy with inflation contained.
Comments from Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher put investors at ease about upcoming economic and retail sales reports. He said the economy continues to grow strongly, and he did not indicate that inflation was presenting a problem.
Advancing issues marginally outnumbered declining issues, on increased volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Oil prices fell $1 to below $59 on Monday as mild weather in the United States kept a lid on heating demand and dealers continued to doubt OPEC's ability to deliver on its agreed crude production cut.
Oil markets took a hit late last week after the International Energy Agency reported a large increase in inventories in the biggest consuming nations, and forecast reduced demand for OPEC oil.
The IEA, which represents the interests of consumer countries, said stockpiles in leading industrialized nations filled at a rate of 1.15 million bpd, the biggest third-quarter rise since 1991, due to a slowdown in demand growth.
The London Metal Exchange has been forced to delay the launch of its new LMEmini contracts from November 20 until December 4 after the withdrawal of an upgraded version of its electronic trading software - the new system crashed on two trading days and, after consultation with its suppliers, the exchange has decided to deliver the launch of the new contracts on its existing platform.
Copper prices fell in New York, extending a three-week slump, as inventories climbed to the highest since April 2004, easing supply concerns.
Lead fell the most in nine months on speculation that an 83 percent rally since late June and record- high prices last week were exaggerated.
On the LME base metals fluctuated widely during nervy late afternoon trading, with the complex taking another beating from heavy speculative sales, although copper and aluminium finished off their lows on short-covering.
Gold futures fell Monday to close with a loss of more than $4 an ounce, as crude prices continued to decline and the U.S. dollar firmed ahead of key economic data this week.
Share prices in Paris and Frankfurt jumped to levels not seen since 2001 while in London the market lost ground as mining issues suffered from a fall in metals prices.

1. Testing Programme
Production testing of the "G" sandstone in POE-2 and POE-6 continued for the week, as was production testing of the "H" sandstone in POE-3.
Perforating of the POE-5 well is in progress in readiness for flow testing of the "H" sandstone, the deepest zone of interest in the well.
Once flow parameters are fully optimised for these first perforated oil zones, shallower levels will be progressively perforated in each of the wells for flow testing. Production from the "F", "G" and "H" sandstone reservoirs in each well will be commingled to enable a maximum overall oil flow.
2. POE-7 Exploration Well
The POE-7 well, which is located 75 metres updip and 1.5 kilometres to the south of oil intersected in the previously drilled Huai Phai-1 well, spudded on 8th November. The well is currently at a depth of 514 metres and drilling ahead.
3. POE-9 Exploration Well
The POE-9 well is located 150 metres updip and 400 metres east of the Na Sanun-1 well which flowed 1400 bopd on test. Work is progressing to prepare the well for drilling on the end of the Phase 1 drilling programme...... - Web Site

AWE Ltd's ("AWE") eight well continuous offshore drilling campaign in New Zealand's Taranaki basin is set to start with the drilling rig Ocean Patriot now on tow for the first well site.
The 2006 drilling campaign is the biggest in AWE's history and is believed to be the largest, continuous, offshore drilling programme ever undertaken in New Zealand. AWE will operate all 8 wells in the offshore Taranaki basin programme (see table 1).
The first well, Tieke-1, which has a potential recoverable volume of 15 million barrels of oil, is expected to start drilling in a week once the Ocean Patriot is relocated from the Canterbury basin where it recently completed drilling the Cutter 1 well. AWE has a 42.5% interest in the Tieke-1 well and the Tui area oil development.
Tieke-1 is located in PMP 38158, 40 km off the west coast of New Zealand's North Island and approximately 8 km from the Tui oil field (see figure 1). The well will be drilled to a planned total depth of 3,600 metres, in a water depth of 122 metres and is expected to take 18 days on a 'trouble free' basis.
Recent exploration in the Taranaki basin by AWE and its joint venture partners has resulted in three commercial discoveries from only five exploration wells in the past four years. These discoveries, Tui, Amokura and Pateke, are currently being developed as part of the Tui area oil development within PMP 38158. The development drilling for this project, comprising 4 horizontal development wells, will start immediately after the completion of the Tieke-1 well...... - Web Site
MINING COMMENCES AT ELLENDALE 9 NORTH ALLUVIALS
Blina Diamonds NL (ASX: BDI) is pleased to announce that the final approval allowing the Company to recommence mining in the Ellendale 9 North has now been received. Blina will commence top-soil and overburden stripping operations immediately and expect to start trucking ore to its 100 tonne per hour processing plant within the next ten days.
Ellendale 9 North comprises two ancient river channels that once drained the richly-diamondiferous Ellendale 9 lamproite. During 2005/2006, Blina processed about 50,000 tonnes of alluvial gravels from the western-most of the two channels. The Company recovered more than 9,000 carats of diamond worth about A$2.5 from this material...... - Web Site

Chloe - Jewel in the Crown?
Chloe continues to impress with an important thick intersection running 26 metres @ 6.1% zinc, 2.9% lead, 60g/t silver and 0.2% copper. At a depth of 173 metres downhole, this is the deepest intersection yet at the prospect and leaves the deposit open down plunge.
More results from this 17 hole programme will be available over the next month or so as they are available. The goal is to calculate an inferred resource from these and earlier results. A resource at Chloe would definitely enhance the profitability of the Einasleigh Project, where Copper Strike is in the final stages of a Feasibility Study for copper production from Einasleigh and Kaiser Bill...... - Web Site

STRONG ZINC AND GOLD RECORDED AT GREENVALE
Results for recently completed infill soil sampling have confirmed the potential of the T3 and Mt Remarkable prospects to host significant base metal and gold mineralisation, respectively. Both prospects are situated in the southern part of Glengarry's wholly owned Greenvale Project (Figure 1) which is located approximately 200 kilometres west of Townsville in North Queensland. Importantly, neither prospect has ever been tested by drilling.
T3 Prospect (zinc-copper-lead-silver)
In the T3 area, two zones of extensive, high order base metal and silver anomalism have been defined (Figure 2). The T3 area is underlain by the southern strike extension of the geological sequence which hosts Kagara Zinc's Balcooma base metal mining operations approximately 70 kilometres to the northeast. The anomalism recorded at T3 is interpreted to be consistent with the same style of mineralisation being mined by Kagara Zinc at Balcooma.
The southern zone at T3 recorded strong zinc (up to 1,255 ppm), lead (up to 924 ppm) and silver (up to 1.7 g/t) anomalism in soil samples over a strike length of 1.3 kilometres. Previous prospecting located a small outcrop (2 by 2 metres) containing primary sulphide mineralisation on the western margin of the southern soil anomaly. Rock chip sampling from this outcrop recorded up to 8% zinc, 11% lead and 52 g/t silver which, given the size of the soil anomaly, indicates that there is good potential for the discovery of economic mineralisation.
The northern zone at T3 recorded strong copper (up to 760 ppm), zinc (up to 575 ppm) and silver (up to 3.4 g/t) anomalism in soil samples over a strike length of 500 metres. The anomalous zone is largely obscured by scree and a mineralised source has not yet been located; however, a recently flown HoistemTM electromagnetic geophysical survey has defined a conductive zone immediately beneath the soil anomaly. The conductive zone maybe due to massive base metal sulphides obscured by the shallow scree cover.
Mt Remarkable Prospect (gold)
The geological setting of Mt Remarkable is very similar to the 3.5 million ounce Mt Leyshon gold deposit which is located near Charters Towers approximately 230 kilometres to the east southeast. Exploration in the 1980's and 1990's recorded strongly anomalous gold from creeks draining the Mt Remarkable prospect; however, the source of the anomalous gold was never located.
Glengarry has completed two phases of soil sampling and has defined a zone of strong gold anomalism over a 350 metre strike length (Figure 3). Multiple soil samples recorded values greater than 0.1 g/t gold including a maximum value of 0.73 g/t. ..... - Web Site
Termination of IFC Mandate
On 7 March 2006, the Directors of Gippsland Limited ("Gippsland" or "the Company") announced that the International Finance Corporation ("IFC"), a member of the World Bank Group, had been mandated ("the Mandate") as Lead Debt Arranger for Gippsland's 40 million tonne Abu Dabbab Tantalum-Tin Project (the "Project") in Egypt.
The Company announces today that it has terminated the IFC Mandate in order to pursue alternative sources of finance presently under consideration. In accordance with the termination notification clause of the IFC Mandate agreement, the termination shall be effective as from 23 November 2006 following which the Company is able to formalise these alternative project finance arrangements.
The Company appreciates the input and advice received from the IFC in regard to the development of the Project. However the Directors feel that alternative project finance arrangements being considered are likely to offer a number of advantages whilst also providing the opportunity to reduce the lead time for the development of the Project.
The termination of the IFC Mandate does not preclude the IFC from participating in the provision of finance for the Project.- Web Site

Gobi-1 Exploration Well Update
Location
The Gobi-1 well is located in Production Licence TL/1 and is being drilled from the Gibson/South Plato Platform. Gobi-1 was drilled as a deviated well to a target depth of approximately 3800 metres measured depth, approximately 2.5 kilometres south-east of the production platform.
Progress
At 06:00 hours today, the Gobi-1 well had drilled ahead to the planned total depth. Wire line logging indicates the presence of a 5 metre oil column at the Flag Sandstone objective. The well will now be plugged and abandoned.
Tap Comment
The Gobi-1 well confirmed the migration of oil to the east of the Gibson/South Plato fields. However, the volume associated with a 5 metre oil column is too small to warrant commercial development at this time. The rig will now sidetrack from the Gobi-1 wellbore to drill South Gibson-1 exploration well. - Web Site

BHP Billiton And Partners Acquire Genghis Khan Oil And Gas Development In Deepwater Gulf Of Mexico
BHP Billiton, with co-venturers Hess Corporation and Repsol YPF, announced today the purchase of the Genghis Khan oil and gas development from Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. The transaction includes rights for Green Canyon Blocks 652 and 608 (certain rights only) in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The Genghis Khan field already has two wells and development infrastructure in place. The field is part of the same geological structure as the recently sanctioned Shenzi project. Gross costs for the transaction are US$1.35 billion, with the net share to BHP Billiton at US$594 million.
The sale will close following due diligence by the purchasers, resolution of production handling agreements and other conditions, as well as any subsequent government approvals that may be necessary.
Genghis Khan was discovered in 2005 on GC 652 and includes estimated gross hydrocarbon reserves in the range from 65 to 170 million barrels of oil equivalent.It is located in water depths of approximately 4,300 feet. The field is located within 3 miles of the Marco Polo production platform, and development of the reserves at Genghis Khan will proceed through the connection of subsea wells where the pipeline infrastructure is already in place. Development may include up to seven wells to fully produce recoverable reserves from the field. First oil is expected in the middle of calendar year 2007 with continued drilling to follow.......- Web Site

DE GREY REPORTS FIRST DIAMOND DRILLING BASE AND PRECIOUS METALS ASSAYS FROM TURNER RIVER
De Grey Mining Ltd is pleased to report the first assay results from its inaugural diamond drilling program targeting the volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) zinc-silver-lead-gold-copper mineralisation at the Turner River Project, 60km south of Port Hedland.
The disseminated sulphide mineralisation in drill hole WADH003 previously reported on the 12th October 2006 returned:
WADH003: 3.85m at 8.21% zinc, 748g/t silver, 5.23% lead, 3.08g/t gold and 0.61% copper from 276.8m
The intersection in WADH003 is high grade, being equivalent to a contained zinc metal content of 3.85m at 19.4% zinc*. This hole lies 140m to the west of the previously reported intersection in WARC045 of 21m at 4.65% zinc, 137g/t silver, 2.10% lead, 1.08g/t gold and 0.08% copper.
The final assay results of the 1m riffle split samples from the RC pre-collar to diamond drill hole WADH005 at Orchard Tank have also been received:
WADH005: 6m at 45.8g/t gold and 66g/t silver from 193m
Although of lower tenor, these final results confirm the high grade gold intersection indicated by the preliminary 4m speared composite samples of 8m at 90.4g/t gold from 192m also previously reported on 12th October 2006.
Despite initial slow progress due to technical drilling difficulties the diamond drilling program is continuing steadily on a double shift basis. Five diamond holes remain to be completed to test the mineralisation further down dip at the Orchard Tank, Tabba Tabba and Discovery Prospects.
De Grey's Managing Director Darren Townsend said "These initial results from the diamond drilling program are encouraging and the company is looking forward to further results from its numerous drilling and geophysical exploration programs between now and Christmas"...... - Web Site

Koyunlu-1 Well commences drilling
Eureka advises that the Koyunlu-1 exploration well, located onshore South Eastern Turkey commenced drilling on 11 November 2006 and at midnight Turkey time on 12 November, was drilling ahead at 439 feet (133.8 metres).
The well is located in the major oil producing region of Turkey approximately 17 kilometres south of the West Raman oil field (original oil in place 1.5 billion barrels)
Eureka recently acquired farm-in rights to earn a 20% interest and an option to increase its interest to 45% in two exploration Licenses, together known as the Bismil Prospect.
Koyunlu-1, with a proposed total depth of 1,380 metres, will test the eastern portion of a structure with similarities to the Raman field structures. The target reservoirs are Cretaceous age carbonates of the Mardin Group (1,280 metres), the same reservoirs which host oil in the Raman fields and numerous other oil fields in the region. The Operator expects to reach target depth within 2 weeks.
The structure has the potential to host recoverable reserves of 31 million barrels (P50) or 204 million barrels (P90), if oil is present and commercially extractable...... - Web Site
GINDALBIE ANNOUNCES 75% INCREASE IN KARARA MAGNETITE RESOURCE TO 1.29 BILLION TONNES
Western Australian iron ore company Gindalbie Metals Ltd (ASX: GBG) has reinforced the potential of its Karara Iron Ore Project in the State's Mid West region to underpin a long-life, world-class iron ore business after announcing a 75% increase in the resource base of the Karara Magnetite Deposit to 1.29 billion tonnes grading 36.3% Fe. The upgraded magnetite resource forms the centerpiece of the Definitive Feasibility Study on the Karara Project due for completion in the first quarter of 2007.
The substantial resource upgrade follows completion of over 37,000 metres of resource definition drilling at the Karara deposit during the year. It incorporates a substantial extension of the original resource model announced in March this year (737 million tonnes at 37.1% Fe) as well as an upgrade in the resource category from Inferred to Indicated and Inferred.
The Indicated Resource component totals 569 million tonnes grading 36.6% Fe, which is sufficient for approximately 28 years of production at the 8mt/annum design capacity of the Karara concentrator facility subject to the current feasibility study.
The upgraded Resource follows a step-out drilling program along the northern extension of the deposit and in- fill drilling programs in the south and central areas of the initial resource area which was defined earlier this year. The upgraded resource defines the magnetite-rich BIF (Banded Iron Formation) unit that hosts the deposit over a strike length of 3.2km, a width of between 400-600 metres and a depth of 300 metres below surface. .... - Web Site

Bamboo Creek Plant Now Producing Gold & Cash Positive
Today, Haoma advises shareholders that processing of low-grade Kitchener stockpiled ore* through the re-engineered Bamboo Creek Plant is now producing gold into cyanide solution which is being recovered onto carbon.
The first 1,500t ore parcel processed has so far generated 1,250 gm of gold onto carbon at 0.8g/t. This is significant as the average assay of the stockpiled low-grade Kitchener ore fed to the plant was 0.6g/t.
The Plant is currently processing ore at a rate of 1,000 tonnes per day and operating on a 24 hours per day basis. On this basis the Bamboo Creek operation is now cash positive.
*Note: Stockpiled ore includes 1 million tonnes with an average gold grade by traditional assay methods of less than 0.6g/t.- Web Site
FURTHER EXTENSION TO WEST KALKAROO COPPER MINERALISATION
Havilah Resources NL (Havilah - ASX:HAV) wishes to advise that it has received promising assay results for a further two reverse circulation drillholes that were completed last month at the West Kalkaroo prospect in northeastern South Australia, as follows :
| Hole ID | From | To | Metres | Cu% | Au g/t |
| KKRC130 | 123 | 150 | 27 | 1.18 | 2.03 |
| KKRC131 | 138 | 171 | 33 | 0.43 | 1.6 |
This is the fifth section line on which potentially ore-grade copper-gold mineralization has been intersected at West Kalkaroo and extends the mineralized strike length to over 500 metres. Visible copper and gold mineralization was observed in recent drillholes on a sixth section line 100 metres further west, and assay results are currently awaited for these holes.
Copper mineralisation in the two holes reported above occurs mainly as primary chalcopyrite veinlets and lies within a much larger low grade copper mineralized halo. Secondary, oxidized copper mineralization, as seen in most other holes at West Kalkaroo is absent, but would be expected to occur at shallower depths up-dip and will be targeted at a later date. ........ - Web Site
High Grade Polymetallic Mineralisation at Wheal Ellen Individual Assay Results Up to 20.5% Zinc, 17.6% Lead, 34.2g/t Gold, 10.5% Copper and 210.6g/t Silver
Hillgrove Resources Limited's (ASX:HGO) on going exploration program in the Kanmantoo district has identified high grade polymetallic Broken Hill style mineralisation at the Wheal Ellen prospect (EL 3232 - 100% Hillgrove) located 40 kilometres south east of Adelaide. A first pass nine hole (569 metre) RC drilling programme intersected mineralised zones up to 10 metres wide. Peak individual (1 metre) drill assays included 13.08% lead, 5.43% zinc, 8.88g/t gold and 258g/t silver.
These initial results are thought to be very significant and suggest there is potential for mineralisation at Wheal Ellen similar in style to that of the nearby Angas deposit (3.04Mt 8.0% zinc, 3.1% lead, 34.0g/t gold, 0.5 g/t silver and 0.3% copper).
Planning is now underway for a second round of drilling which has been scheduled to be completed over the coming months.
The area around Wheal Ellen is considered to be very prospective for base metal mineralization with the Wheal Ellen prospect one of 11 high priority magnetic targets (Figure 1) outlined by a recent airborne magnetic survey, all of which will be the subject of follow up exploration. - Web Site
