Stocks fell in the final session of a tumultuous week Friday as the yen rallied against the dollar and concerns about the U.S. economy still dogged investors after Tuesday's huge drop. The Dow Jones industrials logged their worst weekly performance in more than four years.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 1, on reduced volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
For the week, the Dow fell 3.3 percent, the S&P 500 lost 4.4 percent and the Nasdaq fell 5.9 percent.
Concerns lingered about a decline in the yen carry trade, which refers to the process of borrowing yen to acquire assets with greater yields in other currencies. A slowdown could hurt liquidity worldwide. Concerns about Japanese interest rates also weighed on investors.
Bond prices rose as economic concerns lingered and raised hopes for an interest rate cut.
Copper prices in New York tumbled 5.2 percent this week, ending a rally through most of February, on investor sales following the rout in global equities and a slump in precious metals.
Gold futures dropped more than 3% Friday, suffering from a fourth-straight losing session and a weekly loss of more $42 an ounce with investors still rattled by this week's volatility in global stock markets as they eye demand for the precious metal in Asia.
Silver futures led the decline in the precious metals, with the May contract dropping 5.1%, or 69 cents, to end at $12.96 an ounce.
The massive long-liquidation sell-off in gold and silver futures also prompted some selling in copper Friday, traders and analyst said.
Zinc, used to galvanize steel, tumbled $155, or 4.5 percent, to $3,320 a ton in London, marking the biggest percentage drop in a month.
Lead slipped $65, or 3.4 percent, to $1,855 in London. Aluminum fell $47, or 1.7 percent, to $2,748 a ton.
Tin declined $150, or 1.1 percent, to $13,200. Nickel dropped $400, or 1 percent, to $41,100.
MERGER BETWEEN GRAVITY DIAMONDS LIMITED AND MWANA AFRICA PLC PROGRESSING
On November 17, 2006 Gravity Diamonds Limited ("Gravity") and Mwana Africa plc ("Mwana") announced a proposed merger of the two companies which is to be achieved via two "Schemes of Arrangement" under the Corporations Act, the first between Gravity and its shareholders and the second between Gravity and its listed optionholders.
The schemes of arrangement require preparation of an "Explanatory Booklet" for circulation to shareholders and listed optionholders. Before the Explanatory Booklet can be dispatched, an Australian Court must make orders directing meetings of shareholders and listed optionholders to be held and the Explanatory Booklet must be lodged with and reviewed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ("ASIC"). Shareholders and listed optionholders will then be asked at those meetings to approve the respective schemes.
Through a combination of factors, including the Christmas and summer holidays and the need to have an independent expert appointed to review the affairs of both Gravity and Mwana, the preparation of the Explanatory Booklet and related general meeting materials has taken longer than originally anticipated. However, Gravity has now lodged a draft Explanatory Booklet with ASIC for its review and expects to dispatch the Explanatory Booklet and related materials to you later this month. Meetings of Gravity shareholders and listed optionholders are anticipated to occur in late April 2007 and, if approved by securityholders, the schemes will take effect shortly afterward, subject to Court approval.
Gravity wishes to reassure shareholders and listed optionholders that both Mwana and Gravity remain committed to the completion of the schemes as soon as possible for the benefit of all Gravity shareholders and listed optionholders.

DRILLING OF PARROT HILL-2, IN EP 435, CARNARVON BASIN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA TO COMMENCE ON SUNDAY 4 MARCH 2007
Bounty Oil & Gas NL is pleased to announce that the drilling of Parrot Hill-2 is to commence this weekend, 4 March 2007 with DCA Rig 7. Bounty has agreed to increase its interest in the EP 435 permit from 5% to 10% by paying 12.5% of the cost of Parrot Hill-2.
Parrot Hill-2 is an updip test of the Parrot Hill-1 well drilled by Ampolex in 1987 which intersected a 6.2m oil column. Parrot Hill-2 is located at an interpreted updip location at the culmination of mapped seismic closure, south from the Parrot Hill-1 oil discovery well.
The Parrot Hill-2 well will be drilled in two stages. Stage 1 with a small crew to drill the surface hole with air and foam prior to setting and cementing 9 5/8” casing at 200 metres. Stage 2 will be the drilling to the reservoir objective Birdrong Sandstone proposed at 1115 metres with 8 1⁄2” hole with a full 24 hour certified oilfield crew together with all the appropriate service company equipment and personnel to drill, evaluate and complete the well if a discovery. Total depth of the well is 1150 metres.
The EP 435 Joint Venture plan to utilise the existing Rough Range 1B Production Facility to process and truck any commercial oil discovered at Parrot Hill-2 utilising Empire’s oil tanker fleet and the existing contract with the BP oil refinery at Kwinana, Western Australia.
Empire Oil & Gas have announced that they plan to follow the Parrot Hill-2 well with several additional wells, including Whitlock Hill-1 in EP 412. Bounty will be free carried through the drilling of this well.
Further announcements will be made when drilling in EP 412 commences. - Web Site

Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX: IAU, IXN & ASX: IAU), an international gold and silver production, development and exploration company, announces that it has selected Claymore Capital Pty Ltd to provide an unsecured short dated convertible loan of A$5.0 million net of facility fees. The loan will bear interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum calculated quarterly in arrears and subject to shareholder approval may be convertible into equity. Finalisation of the facility is subject to completion of documentation and the consent of the Company’s bankers.
The proceeds from the financing will be used to re-establish working capital levels at the Paulsens Mine which had been depleted following a period of below target performance.
The Company has been actively addressing mine grade issues at Paulsens and is pleased to announce that steady improvement has been recorded this year with gold production from scheduled mining areas in recent weeks with mill grades up 30%.
The PURT review is continuing and the economic benefit of opportunities identified to date are being investigated. Recent weeks performance does not provide assurance of continuing grade improvement but has increased the Company’s confidence in the mining model. - Web Site

MARENGO COMMENCES 2007 DRILLING PROGRAM AT THE YANDERA COPPER- MOLYBDENUM-GOLD PROJECT (PNG)
Marengo Mining Limited (ASX Code: MGO) is pleased to announce that it has commenced the 2007 season of diamond drilling at its 100% owned Yandera Project in the Madang Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Following on from a very successful 2006 program, which saw some 7000 metres drilled on the Gremi, Omora and Imbruminda Zones, Marengo has again contracted United Pacific Drilling to provide two diamond drill rigs for the 2007 season.
It is anticipated that a similar meterage will be completed during the 2007 field season and will initially concentrate on the Omora Zone, where drilling in late 2006 intersected a broad zone of previously unidentified gold - molybdenum mineralisation (39 metres @ 3.54 g/t gold & 664 ppm molybdenum) in close proximity to the existing copper - molybdenum mineralisation.
Drilling will also target further extensions to zones of copper - molybdenum mineralisation located within the boundaries of a conceptual open- pit, which forms part of a pre-feasibility study commenced in Q4 2006.
In October 2006 Marengo announced an initial Inferred Resource of 371 million tonnes @ 0.49 Copper Equivalent (Cu+Mo), at a 0.3% Cu Eq cut-off.
All data from the 2006 program has now been added to the extensive Yandera drill database (over 40,000 metres) and it is anticipated that a revised resource estimate will be released shortly after the end of the current quarter...... - Web Site
Drilling Update - Thunder Bay North
Magma Metals Limited advises that its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Magma Metals (Canada) Limited (“Magma”), has completed the fourth drill-hole, TBND004, in an eleven hole drilling program to test magnetic anomalies at its Thunder Bay North and Beaver Lake projects in northwest Ontario, Canada (Figures 1 & 2).
TBND004 was drilled approximately 120m along the strike of the magnetic anomaly to the southwest of drill-hole TBND001 (Figure 2), which returned an intersection of 10.5m @ 2.80g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 0.45% Cu & 0.34% Ni from 72m coincident with a zone of 2-8% disseminated sulphides in ultramafic rock (peridotite).
Preliminary logging of TBND004 indicates that the hole intersected four altered peridotite units within granite and then a thick mixed zone of granite, dolerite and peridotite. The “mixed zone” is coincident with the magnetic anomaly.
The four altered peridotite units had the following characteristics:
These peridotite units are interpreted to be dyke off-shoots from a deeper intrusion...... - Web Site

New Gold Systems Discovered on Blue Spec Shear
Northwest is pleased to announce the discovery of additional gold bearing systems along the Blue Spec Shear following the completion of analysis of the company’s first-pass 15,000m RC drilling programme completed in late December 2006.
The Blue Spec Shear Project hosts the rapidly growing high-grade Blue Spec underground deposit (JORC resource 155,000 oz Au @ 46.3 g/t ) and the exciting new Blue Spec East discovery zone. The results of Northwest’s programme support the company’s belief that the Blue Spec Shear has the potential to host multiple high-grade gold deposits.
As almost no drilling has been previously undertaken along the Blue Spec Shear outside of the immediate deposit areas, these discoveries mark an important milestone in the development of Northwest’s Blue Spec Shear Project.- Web Site

URANIUM EXPLORATION SUCCESS
The directors of Universal Resources Limited (Universal) are pleased to report high grade uranium and rare earth results obtained from a surface sampling exploration program within Universal’s wholly owned tenements adjacent to the former Mary Kathleen uranium mine in the Mt Isa Inlier of North-West Queensland.
HIGHLIGHTS
The recent exploration programmes targeted uranium mineralisation north-east of the former Mary Kathleen uranium mine where historical production was 9.2 million tonnes of ore grading 0.13% U308. The very pleasing results generated by this initial program of mapping, rock chip sampling, broad band gamma ray scintillometer and soil surveys are presented below. Sampling has confirmed the presence of uraniferous and rare earth mineralisation in rocks and soils at Janet Maude and Mount Harold prospects and also identified a new uraniferous prospect at Mount Harold South.
Some of the better results from rocks selected on the basis of scintillometer screening include:

A still nervous Wall Street closed modestly lower Thursday, having clawed its way back from an early-session plunge (down 209 points) after upbeat manufacturing data allayed fears about a flagging U.S. economy. The Institute for Supply Management's index of February manufacturing activity came in at 52.3, stronger than the 50.0 reading analysts expected.
Declining issues narrowly outnumbered advancers, on fractionally lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
U.S. investors began the day rattled by another series of declines in Asian and European markets. Japan's Nikkei stock fell 0.86 percent, and the Shanghai Composite Index lost 2.9 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.90 percent, Germany's DAX index tumbled 1.12 percent, and France's CAC-40 dropped 1.05 percent.
Oil prices rose for the seventh day in a row as declining product supplies overshadowed traders' concerns about volatile global stock markets.
Copper snapped a three-day decline in London as data showed signs of rising demand from China, the world's largest user of the metal. Nickel advanced to a record as a shortage of the metal on the exchange persisted for a 10th month, forcing buyers seeking immediate delivery to pay $3,300 a ton more than those purchasing the three-month futures, and lead posted the largest intraday gain in 10 months after stockpiles tracked by the LME fell 475 tons, or 1.5 percent, to 31,625 tons, the lowest since June 1, 2005.
Most other metals posted modest gains.
Gold in New York fell for a third straight day after the decline in global equities continued. The price decrease also came amid some strength in the value of the U.S. dollar, which moved higher on the heels of better than expected manufacturing sector data in the US.

LAKES OIL SECURES RETENTION LEASES
GIPPSLAND BASIN - VICTORIA
Lakes Oil N.L. ("LKO") is pleased to announce that it has today been granted two Retention Leases. The leases cover earlier gas and oil discoveries made by the company during the past five years.
A Retention Lease is an interim step provided by the Victorian Petroleum Act which is designed to allow exploration companies time to more fully assess discoveries prior to applying for Production Licences.
The awarding of these permits are a condition precedent for the finalization of our proposed farm-out to PetroHunter Energy of the USA who have agreed to spend up to US$30 million to earn up to 66 2/3% interest of Lakes Oil's equity in all its exploration permits.
Final sign off by PetroHunter Energy is expected to take place around the middle of this month in time for them to finance and participate in the drilling of the Hazelwood-1 well, sited near the Hazelwood Power Station in permit PEP 166. A small rig is currently on site drilling the "top hole" with the heavier Century Rig due to arrive on site towards the end of this month.
It is currently envisaged that after the Century Rig has completed the drilling of Hazelwood-1 the rig will move to the Boola Boola-2 location also in PEP 166. A second smaller rig will drill the Atherton-1 and Napier-1 well in PEP 158 at approximately the same time.
This is an exciting time for all Lakes Oil's shareholders who have supported the company over many years. Applications already received from shareholders for the current Shareholder Share Purchase Plan for an investment of up to $1,400 per shareholder has been very pleasing.

Jingemia 11 Oil Development Well Commences, Onshore Perth Basin, Western Australia
Origin Energy Limited advises that operations at the oil development well Jingemia 11, operated by Origin Energy and located in the onshore Perth Basin Production Licence L14, commenced at 21:30 hours WST on Wednesday, 28 February, using the Century 18 drilling rig. Operation at 06:00 hours WST today was drilling ahead at 195 metres in 311 millimetre (12 1/4" inch) hole.
Jingemia 11 is located 23 kilometres southeast of the township of Dongara. The primary target is the Late Permian Dongara Sandstone, the main oil-producing reservoir in the Jingemia, Hovea and Eremia fields.
Jingemia 11 is designed to intersect the Dongara Sandstone at a structurally high position in the field. The well is being drilled directionally and is prognosed to intersect the top of the Dongara Sandstone at approximately 2,490 metres measured depth at a subsurface location approximately 645 metres east-northeast of the surface location. - Web Site

Drilling Report (Juha 5/Ghard-1/Bina Bawi-1) 1 March 2007
WELL NAME: Juha 5
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 1 March, the Juha 5 well was at a depth of 3,471 metres and preparing to drill out of casing into the reservoir section. During the week, 7-5/8” casing was run and cemented to 3,468 metres, as planned
Juha 5 is located 40 kilometres north-west of the Hides gas field. Three wells were drilled on the Juha structure in the early 1980s, and proved the presence of a condensate-rich gas accumulation. No gas-water-contact was located in these wells and the Juha 5 well will drill deeper on the structure with the aim of constraining the vertical gas column height. The well is targeting the Toro reservoir at a depth of around 3,000 metres subsea, 3,550 metres MD. The planned total depth of the well is 3,700 metres MD.
The well will be followed by a second well which will drill a large, untested segment adjacent to the proven segment. The objective of the two wells is to increase considerably both the proven and probable reserves.
WELL NAME: Ghard-1ST
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Egypt time (+3 hrs GMT) on 28 February, Ghard-1ST was at a depth of 2,742 metres and drilling ahead in an 8-1/2” hole in limestones of the Abu Roash Formation.
During the week, the well was sidetracked. The aim of the sidetrack is to evaluate the extent of a potential oil pay zone in the Abu Roash Formation beneath an interpreted net oil pay of between 25 to 30 metres in the Bahariya Formation.
Ghard-1 is located in the East Ras Qattara concession, Western Desert, Egypt, 12 kilometres north-east of the recently drilled Shahd-1 discovery. Ghard-1 is Oil Search’s second well in an extended drilling programme of probably four wells in the East Ras Qattara block in 2007.
The objectives of the Ghard-1 well are reservoirs in the Cretaceous Abu Roash, Bahariya and Alam El Bueib Formations, with a prognosed total depth of 3,950 metres. Production storage facilities are located in nearby adjacent concessions.
WELL NAME: Bina Bawi-1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Iraqi time (+4hrs GMT) on 27 February, the Bina Bawi-1 was at a total depth of 3,355 metres and preparing to commence a testing programme to determine the productive and commercial potential of three zones intersected by the well.
Bina Bawi-1 is located in the Bina Bawi Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) located in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. Oil Search has a 20% interest in the Bina Bawi EPSA operator, A & T Petroleum, and has the option to convert its 20% shareholding into a 10% direct interest in the Bina Bawi EPSA.
WELL NAME: Kasad-1
Oil Search reports that at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+4 hrs GMT) on 28 February, the Kasad-1 well was at a depth of 1,497 metres, and setting a cement plug to cure loses into the Qishn formation.
The Kasad-1 well will test a four-way dip closed structure updip of the recently drilled Ghobata structure. The primary objective of the well is the Qishn Clastics and fractured Basement, with secondary objectives in the Lam and Kohlan Sandstone. The planned total depth of the well is 2,000 metres.- Web Site

Conventional Gas Exploration in the Sydney Basin
Sydney Gas Ltd (SGL) is a participant in the Joint Ventures, which operate Petroleum Exploration Licences 2, 5 and the Camden CSM field. These Joint Ventures have a licence obligation to drill a conventional exploration well prior to end permit year 2008.
On behalf of the Joint Venture Participants, SGL has conducted a review of conventional prospectivity in the Sydney Basin, which has identified a new, shallow play type. This target is the Marrangaroo Formation, a conglomeritic, alluvial sandstone found towards the base of the Wilton Formation.
The prospective structure is a tilted wedge; the point of the wedge rising to the south. It has been mapped using a combination of seismic and previous well intersections. Although shallow today, the Marrangaroo, has not been previously exploited for two reasons.
First, it doesn’t form the simple anticlinal trap, which is the typical geological target. This more complex, wedge shaped structure, is known as a “pinch out”. A pinch out is a more difficult structure, which requires top and bottom seals. Both of these are known to be present at this horizon. Secondly, it has a palaeo-history of much deeper burial. As a consequence the sandstones form an intrinsically poorer quality reservoir. They are known to exhibit lower porosities in the range 10% - 16% and permeabilities ranging from 1 - 10 mD. Nonetheless “tighter” reservoirs of this form are being produced in many places internationally.......- Web Site

Wall Street rebounded partially from the previous session's 416-point plunge in the Dow industrials as investors took comfort from comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke but still showed signs of unease about the economy. Bernanke's remarks to Congress that he still expects moderate economic growth gave some investors confidence to look for bargains. Bernanke's comments and a gross domestic product reading that mostly met expectations helped bring out some buyers. Nevertheless, investors remained cautious and didn't rush headlong into stocks and discount the possibility of a further shakeout.
Chinese stocks bounced back Wednesday after their biggest decline in a decade, while shares in Europe and elsewhere in Asia fell for a second day amid jitters about possible slowdowns in the Chinese and U.S. economies.
Advancing issues outpaced decliners by about 2 to 1, on lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
The market took some solace from the Commerce Department report that the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter. The gross domestic product reading was slightly below expectations, but wasn't as weak as some investors had feared.
Tuesday's decline, which was the largest point drop in the Dow industrials in more than five years, made February an unwelcome month for the 30-stock index. It marked the Dow's worst monthly percentage drop since April 2005 and the worst monthly point decline since December of 2002.
A Commerce Department report found new-home sales fell by 16.6 percent in January from the previous month, the largest drop in 13 years.
For the S&P, February was the worst point and percentage decline since May last year. And for Nasdaq, the month marked the worst percentage and point decline since July.
Copper prices fell the most in more than three weeks on the London Metal Exchange and zinc posted the largest drop since Feb. 2, after U.S. new-home sales and manufacturing data indicated a further slowdown in metals usage.
Nervous investors jumped in and out of the gold market on Wednesday, as early bargain hunting gave way to renewed selling as financial markets tried to regain their poise after a global stock slide. But prices finished higher for the month and most analysts remain convinced that the decline for the day was only a temporary setback in the metal's climb toward $700.

Programs and Budgets for Goldstream/Lonmin Joint Ventures - Tanzania
Goldstream is pleased to announce that Lonmin Plc has elected to continue to sole fund exploration activities on the Mibango Joint Venture for the Operating Year commencing on 1 April 2007 and that the Joint Venture Committees for each of the Mibango and Luwumbu Joint Ventures has approved Scopes of Works and Budgets for the 2007/2008 Project Year for a combined total of US$6.7 million (Aus$8.5M). Lonmin has the right to earn 65% equity at Mibango and 70% at Luwumbu by sole funding expenditure to completion of feasibility.
In the forthcoming field season at Luwumbu, diamond drilling will evaluate the targets identified in the auger sampling program, and expand on drill results obtained last year working towards defining an indicated mineral resource. The Luwumbu budget is US$4.2 million (Aus$5.3M).
The Mibango budget of US$2.5 million (Aus$3.2M) provides for helicopter - borne electromagnetic survey (VTEM) to extend the current coverage and prospect for other massive sulphide bodies in the Ubendian basement and Kapalagulu intrusion. Following specialist interpretation, the identified VTEM conductors will be evaluated by ground EM surveys to determine drill targets.
Goldstream welcomes Lonmin's continued involvement in both Tanzanian projects. On and from 30 April 2007 Lonmin will take over from Goldstream as the operator for both projects. - Web Site

MACARTHUR COAL ACHIEVES A$42 MILLION NET PROFIT FOR THE HALF YEAR
Macarthur Coal Limited (ASX:MCC) has today reported a half-year net profit after tax (NPAT) of A$42.4 million for the six months to 31 December 2006.....
The Company also reported that an interim dividend of 11 cents per share fully franked is to be paid on 30 March 2007.
Macarthur Coal's profits were primarily affected by the 30% reduction in the US dollar coal price in April 2006 from the record previous price.
The total cost of mining and delivering coal to the port in terms of dollars per tonne was 4.9% lower than for the same period last year. The off minesite cost component reduced by 28.5%. However, minesite costs were up by 18.2% principally due to Moorvale Mine's increasing strip ratio and contractor charges.
Chief Executive Officer, Nicole Hollows, said "Macarthur Coal is in a very good position with strong cashflow, low debt and undrawn loan facilities.
"Macarthur Coal has also commenced the transition towards owner operator status at its Coppabella Mine with the successful acquisition of equipment owned by Peter Champion Mining. Over 90% of Peter Champion Mining staff transferred to Macarthur Coal, ensuring a smooth transition process that did not impinge on operations. Cost benefits are expected to flow through in the 2008 financial year.... - Web Site

Deep Yellow Issues Shares to Matrix Matrix
Metals Limited ("Matrix") is pleased to advise that Deep Yellow Limited (DYL) has today issued 21,459,541 fully paid ordinary shares to Matrix in accordance with DYL's election on 14 February 2007 to proceed with the Uranium Joint Venture with Matrix.
DYL previously advised on 14 February 2006 that the decision to proceed to the next stage of the initial earn-in of 51% interest in the Joint Venture was in part driven by the excellent assay results returned from the recent drill programme at the Miranda Prospect (ASX 12 February 2007) which outlined a broad zone of uranium mineralisation with a strong iron oxide association including significant intersections of 12 m at 960 ppm U3O8 from 9 m in hole DMRC-001 and 3 m at 730 ppm U3O8 from 43 m in hole DMRC-002. Previous drilling at Miranda by CRAE in 1982 returned 18 m at 810 ppm U3O8 from 30 m depth and surface rock chips collected by Matrix 100 m NNE of the drill holes assayed up to 1.18% U3O8...... - Web Site

BEACONSFIELD GOLD PROPOSAL ACCEPTED AND ALLSTATE NOW OUT OF ADMINISTRATION
A meeting of Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate") group creditors today approved a proposal made by Beaconsfield Gold NL (ASX: BCD) to terminate the Deeds of Company Arrangement. Immediately following the meeting, the Administrators of the Allstate group companies retired and control of the Allstate group companies was returned to their boards of directors.
Under the proposal, Beaconsfield Gold has provided a loan to Allstate to enable Allstate's unsecured trade creditors to receive 100% of their outstanding claims. Macquarie Bank, the secured creditor of the Allstate group, has restructured its banking arrangements and agreed to a standstill period during which the Allstate group will not be required to deliver gold production into its hedge book or repay its other liabilities to the bank. Allstate will continue to be the Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture and all employees at the mine will continue to work for Allstate.
The Boards of Allstate and its subsidiaries have been restructured to reflect their changed status with the immediate appointment of Dr Denis Clarke, Mr Stephen Gemell and Mr Kevin Perrin, who join current Chairman Mr Rodney Elvish. Dr Clarke and Mr Perrin are also directors of Beaconsfield Gold. The Allstate Board has appointed Mr Bill Colvin and Mr Brian Coulter Acting CEO and Acting CFO/Joint Company Secretary respectively, and they will assume immediate responsibility for the day to day management of Allstate.
Beaconsfield Gold has previously announced that agreement has been reached with Newmont Australia Limited ("Newmont") to acquire Newmont's 57.2% shareholding in Allstate for approximately $1.4 million, which will take Beaconsfield Gold's total shareholding in Allstate to 82.8%. Allstate will shortly convene a general meeting to seek the approval of the minority shareholders of Allstate for this transaction. If the acquisition is approved, Beaconsfield Gold has agreed to make an immediate takeover offer to all remaining minority Allstate shareholders on the same terms accepted by Newmont.
Mr Bill Colvin, Chief Executive Officer for Beaconsfield Gold, said: "It is very pleasing to see Allstate emerge from Administration with all trade creditors paid out in full as a result of the Beaconsfield Gold proposal. Both companies will make the safe resumption of gold production at Beaconsfield their key priority and we are confident that we are very close to achieving this goal."

Half Yearly Report
New Zealand Oil & Gas Limited announces its result for the 6 months ended 31 December 2006.
Total revenues for the half year were $2.6 million (31 December 2005: $4.0 million) and include interest income of $1.7 million (31 December 2005: $1.3 million) and a foreign exchange gain of $0.9 million (31 December 2005: $0.2 million).
The six monthly result is a deficit of $2.9 million, after minority interests (31 December 2005: surplus $2.3 million) and reflects a $2.5m provision for the full cost of drilling the Tieke-1 exploration well in December 2006. The main target of the well was not successful and the costs have been fully provided against, even though the well remains suspended pending a decision on possible re-entry for drilling to a deeper target.
During the reporting period, NZOG raised $17 million of additional capital through a share/options placement in November 2006. Since 31 December 2006 a further $25 million was raised from a rights offer and associated placement of securities......- Web Site

AWE's half year profit record
AWE's transformation into a significant cash-generating oil and gas producer is well underway with the company reporting a substantial increase in first half revenue and profit.
Sales of $69.6 million in the six months to December 31, 2006, underpinned an increase in half yearly profit, after tax, of $15.3 million, up sharply on the previous period losses.
Oil and gas production totalled 1.91 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE).
AWE's production rates are expected to remain strong as the BassGas project, in Bass Strait, (AWE 30%) completes commissioning and ramps up to steady state production in the current half year.
The Tui oil project (AWE 42.5%) is expected to start oil production by June 30 this year, providing further production growth.
The Casino gas project (AWE 25%) performed very well in the first half.
At the BassGas and Cliff Head (AWE 27.5%) projects the underlying performance of the oil and gas reservoirs was very good although less than optimal performance of the production facilities was slightly disappointing.
AWE's balance sheet remains strong, with cash of $139.61 million and debt of $118.08 million at December 31. In the half AWE strengthened its financial situation by consolidating its project loans into a single corporate debt facility, improving the flexibility of future funding and the level of available cash.
The AWE board and management is optimistic about the future and the company remains well funded for the next stage of growth, particularly following the recent debt restructuring, with scope for continued high returns for our shareholders...... - Web Site

Board Changes
Sub-Sahara Resource NL (ASX:SBS) advises that two of the company's long-serving non-executive directors, HD (David) Kennedy and Des Foynes, have retired, effective today.
Sub-Sahara chairman David Riekie said Mr Kennedy had been a significant supporter of the company since his appointment to the board in 1996. He had been largely responsible for the company's current interests in Eritrea and Tanzania.
Mr Foynes was appointed to the board in 2001 as an independent director and had also been instrumental in the development of the company's now significant exploration portfolio in Tanzania, Mr Riekie said.
"Both Mr Kennedy and Mr Foynes made a major contribution to the company and allowed it to develop a highly-regarded suite of joint venture interests, listed investments and exploration opportunities," Mr Riekie said.
"The board joins me in extending its sincere thanks and gratitude for the assistance they have provided in compiling such an enviable portfolio of projects."
Barry Bolitho will now join the board of Sub-Sahara effective 1st March.
Mr Bolitho joins the board as an independent, non-executive director. Mr Bolitho is a tertiary-qualified chemist and metallurgist and has significant experience with ASX-listed resource entities.
"With more than 28 years of operational, project and corporate experience, the board expects his skills will provide significant benefits to the company,"
Mr Riekie said. Mr Riekie said the board considered Sub-Sahara to be well resourced, with the high-calibre personnel and projects to make the next phase of its development a success. - Web Site

Tuesday, February 27 2007, 9:16 PM
Stocks had their worst day of trading since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks Tuesday, briefly hurtling the Dow Jones industrials down more than 500 points on a worldwide tide of concern that the U.S. and Chinese economies are stumbling and that share prices have become overinflated.
The steepness of the market's drop, as well as its global breadth, signaled a possible correction after a long period of stable and steadily rising stock markets, which had not been shaken by such a volatile day of trading in several years.
A 9 percent slide in Chinese stocks, which came a day after investors sent Shanghai's benchmark index to a record high close, set the tone for U.S. trading. The Dow began the day falling sharply, and the decline accelerated throughout the course of the session before stocks took a huge plunge in late afternoon as computer-driven sell programs kicked in.
The Dow fell 546.02, or 4.3 percent, to 12,086.06 before recovering some ground in the last hour of trading to close down 416.02, or 3.29 percent, at 12,216.24, according to preliminary calculations. Because the worst of the plunge took place after 2:30 p.m., the New York Stock Exchange's trading limits, designed to halt such precipitous moves, were not activated.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 7 to 1, on substantially higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Oil prices finished slightly higher Tuesday, after a volatile day that saw prices fall by more than $1 per barrel and then rebound to a 2007 high.
Copper prices eased on Tuesday as jitters about falling demand from China surfaced after its stock market plunged nearly 9 percent, but analysts think the worry is overdone and see higher base metal prices ahead.
Generally lower base metals prices and news that South Africa might slap windfall taxes on resource firms battered the shares of London-listed miners.
Gold prices in New York fell as much as 4 percent after U.S. equities tumbled the most since September 2002, triggering a metal sell-off by investors.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was A$82.2 million for the half year (2005: A$17.4 million) while sales revenue increased to A$123.9 million (2005: A$31.4 million).
The zinc cash operating cost after by-product credits for the half year from the polymetallic circuit was US$0.47 per pound of payable zinc produced against an average realised zinc price of US$1.70 per pound of payable zinc. The cash margin from operations was a record US$1.23 per pound of payable zinc.
The copper cash operating cost after by-product credits for the half year was US$1.49 per pound of payable copper produced against an average realised copper price of US$3.31 per pound of payable copper. The cash margin from operations was US$1.82 per pound of payable copper.
Production for the half year was 20,869 tonnes of contained zinc, 6,472 tonnes of contained copper and 6,530 tonnes of contained lead. Kagara recently commissioned its third operating production plant at Thalanga with copper concentrate production commencing in December 2006.
OUTLOOK
The half year result has seen Kagara exceed the profit of A$35.6 million generated over the full 2005/06 financial year. Kagara's core base metal production will continue to increase over the second half of the financial year with the Thalanga copper treatment facility commencing full production. Kagara is currently updating its production schedules for the remainder of the financial year in light of disruptions caused by recent heavy rainfalls. In respect of the previously announced forecast profit before tax of A$175 million, it is currently expected that the shortfall in production will be largely offset by forecast higher base metal prices for the reminder of the financial year assumed by Kagara (US$1.70 per pound for zinc, US$3.08 per pound for copper, US$0.85 per pound for lead and an exchange rate of $0.78).
Kagara's exploration activity will also increase in the second half of the financial year at its Mt Garnet and Chillagoe tenements in North Queensland. The commencement of drilling at the Admiral Bay zinc project and the recently acquired Forrestania nickel project in Western Australia will see an exciting period of growth and development for Kagara. The Forrestania nickel project forms part of Kagara's strategy of diversification into zinc, copper and nickel. In addition, the gold assets at Red Dome and Mungana complete an extensive portfolio of exploration projects..... - Web Site

STRONG INTERIM RESULTS -
FINANCIAL
Beach Petroleum reaped the full impact of the acquisition of Delhi Petroleum in the first half year to December 31 with revenue from oil and gas sales increasing almost five fold from $44 million to $214 million. Other revenue, including foreign exchange gains, increased total revenue to nearly $247 million.
Net profit before tax for the interim reporting period was $32.26 million and the directors have announced that the Company will pay an unfranked interim dividend of 0.75 cents per share, payable on 31 March 2007.
While the acquisition of Delhi Petroleum materially increased Beach Petroleum's sales revenue there were no sales from the Basker Manta Gummy project during the half year, due to project commissioning. Beach expects oil and gas revenue to increase significantly in the current half year as a result of oil sales from the BMG project which began in January.
As anticipated, financial accounting for primarily one-off acquisition and financing costs associated with the Delhi acquisition have affected net profit for the half year. However, after adjusting for these one-off effects, the net profit before tax of $32.26 million compares favourably with the $41.17 million earned in the first half of 2005, which was inflated by a one-off gain of $24 million on the sale of shares in Anzon Australia Ltd.
Beach Managing Director, Reg Nelson, said, "With new oil sales from the BMG project, five new oil field discoveries in the Cooper Basin and gas sales commencing from Tipton West, we expect that oil and gas revenue will build significantly throughout the remainder of the financial year and in subsequent years."
PRODUCTION AND RESERVES
Beach Petroleum's Proved and Probable reserves increased to 101 mmboe (millions of barrels of oil equivalent), ranking it among the top five ASX listed oil and gas companies. Upon commitment to a sales contract and development of the BMG gas project, this reserves base is expected to increase substantially, potentially placing the Company in fourth place after Woodside Petroleum, Santos and Origin Energy.
Mr Nelson said, "The reserves base itself is a healthy mix of oil, gas-liquids and gas, yielding production for Australian domestic and international markets from both onshore and offshore facilities."
He said, "We expect that it will support robust revenues and further growth over the coming decade as Beach Petroleum moves towards record production in excess of 10 mmboe per annum."
Production for the first half was 4,696 kboe (thousand barrels of oil equivalent) up 695 per cent, up from 591 kboe for the previous corresponding period. The dramatic rise resulted from the increase to production by Delhi Petroleum, which was acquired by the company effective July 1, 2006.
A total of 83 per cent of Beach Petroleum's production was gas or gas liquids with crude oil accounting for the remaining 17 per cent of production volumes......- Web Site

UPDATE ON THE MOTO GOLD PROJECT
Further to the announcement of 29 January 2007, Moto Goldmines Limited ("MGL" or the "Company") would like to update shareholders on the events relating to the Moto Gold Project in the north east of the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC").
Pending the finalization of the formation of the new Government, the Company is awaiting confirmation from the Office of the President of the DRC that OKIMO is authorised to resume its discussions with the Company with a view to formalising the detailed agreements envisaged by the protocol entered into with OKIMO on 3 November 2006 ("November 2006 Protocol"), including a consolidated lease agreement. OKIMO's Chairman of the Board of Director's has notified the previous Chief Executive Officer that the letters alleging breaches of the various agreements with OKIMO have "no legal value and [are] of no effect". The Company has nevertheless chosen to respond to the allegations of breach setting out in clear detail why it is not in breach of any of the agreements, and that certain outstanding payments will be made on the basis agreed during the course of negotiations of the November 2006 Protocol. The information available to the Company shows that the November 2006 Protocol has been approved by OKIMO's Board of Directors and its Umbrella Authorities in accordance with applicable DRC law.
The Company continues to receive considerable support from the Board of Directors of OKIMO. The Company is looking forward to the appointment of the new Chief Executive Officer following finalization of the new Government so that it can progress the negotiations of the detailed agreements envisaged by the November 2006 Protocol. - Web Site

Drilling Update - Heron 1 (Block 20) Prepares To Test
The land-drilling rig ZJ50LDB operated by drilling operator GWDC (Great Wall Drilling Company) has continued drilling the CNPCIM operated Heron-1 exploration well in coastal Block 20 onshore Mauritania, West Africa.
Following completion of wire-line operations the operator decided to not run a 5 ½ inch liner to TD but instead set a cement bridge at approximately 2235m. As at 2:00 pm (AWST) on the 26 February 2007, the operation was installing test equipment in preparation for well testing.
Based on hydrocarbon shows observed in the well and the Operator's preliminary wire-line log interpretation the Operator has identified two zones within the cased 12 1/4" inch hole which are considered worth testing. These test intervals are 2152 - 2159 metres (test #1) in Turionian
limestone reservoir and 1856.5 - 1863.5 metres (test #2) in Lower Campanian sandstone reservoir. The main objective of these tests is to confirm the existence of movable hydrocarbons that, if present, may be produced at potentially economic flow rates.
Since the two tests involve the well being shut-in for pressure monitoring for several days in total, the testing will take over a week to complete.
The results of Heron-1 and its implication for the prospectivity of Block 20 will be assessed by the Joint Venture and a meeting will be held in early Quarter 2 2007 to agree the forward work programme in the permit.
CNPCIM is a wholly owned subsidiary of CNPC International Limited (CNPCI) and is Operator of Block 20 with 65% interest. Baraka Petroleum's interest in Block 20 is 35%.- Web Site

ADVICE TO SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPONSE TO HOSTILE PALADIN TAKEOVER OFFER
The board of Summit Resources Limited notes the announcement by Paladin Resources Ltd of its intention to make a hostile takeover offer for all of the shares in Summit Resources.
The Managing Director of Summit, Mr Alan Eggers, said today "Paladin has announced that it will serve its bidder's statement today and we will carefully consider that documentation before providing a formal response. The board of Summit will convene shortly after we receive the bid documentation".
In an immediate reaction, Mr Eggers said:
"This offer is not unexpected and, in my opinion, is designed to capture value that will otherwise flow to Summit's shareholders. We will be communicating more fully about this with our shareholders shortly."
"At this stage shareholders should take no action, ignore all communication from Paladin and await our further advice."
"Summit shareholders should also note that despite the disruption that this hostile offer will cause, it remains business as usual for Summit. We will continue to progress the development of the Mount Isa Uranium Project and to forge ahead on other fronts including the proposed spin out of Pacific Mines Limited, which we confirmed in our last quarterly report."
Summit has retained Gresham Advisory Partners Limited as financial advisers and Cochrane Lishman as legal advisers to provide advice in relation to the offer. - Web Site

Wall Street extended its decline Monday as concerns about a market correction offset investor optimism that acquisition activity is on pace to set a record this year. Hanging over the market is a lack of catalysts that could propel stocks forward, especially ahead of an expected downward revision of fourth-quarter gross domestic product to be released Wednesday.
A warning from former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan about a possibility of a recession by year's end helped bonds recover.
Oil prices rose after a winter storm moved across the United States, spurring expectations of strong demand for heating oil.
Advancing issues barely outpaced decliners, on increased turnover, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Nickel hit a new record high Monday on worries about supplies, while aluminum rose to its best level since last May and copper held firm on expectations of stronger demand from Asia.
Lead climbed to a record as supply disruptions combined with falling stockpiles to prompt speculation there will be a deficit of the metal.
Gold in New York rose, extending a rally to a nine-month high, as heightened worries about the possibility of escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran and climbing energy costs boosted the appeal of the precious metal.
PRESS RELEASE
DEVELOPMENT/EXPLORATION UPDATE
Vancouver 26th February 2007. New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) reports on development and exploration and wishes advise that Chariman, Bob McNeil will be available at the Prospectors and Developers Conference in Toronto on March 6 and 7 at booth number B2631.
Sinivit Project (92% NGG)
The project continues to progress towards commencement of processing and gold extraction. The initial vats will be filled in mid March with commissioning of the production circuit and gold production to commence in early April.
It is expected to take three months from commencement of commissioning to build up to achieve the projected annualised production rate of 35,000 ozs gold.
All major equipment is on site, key personnel are at site, all permits such as cyanide use, licensing of explosive magazine etc are in place and infrastructure and roads are essentially complete. The final shipment of key chemicals used in gold extraction is expected at site in early March 2007.
Grade control drilling is well advanced with excellent initial results from bulldozer trenching of the mineralised zone after stripping of surface waste (see Press Release dated 15th February 2007). Trench results included 13m at 13.59g/t gold (with a high 1m at 90g/t). This confirmed that gold previously intersected in drill holes extends to the present surface.
Exploration drilling to increase the total resource at Sinivit has commenced and will continue throughout 2007.
Imwauna Project (Normanby Property - 100% NGG)
Resource drilling continued throughout 2006 with 96 holes now completed in the present program (about 110 holes total). Ten holes are currently awaiting assay (some 1500 samples) and the first of these results should be available in the near future.
The extent and grade of Imwauna mineralisation continues to improve in some parts of the system.......
Mt Penck (60% NGG)
Drilling continued at the Mt Penck Project throughout 2006 and defined widespread gold mineralisation at Kavola East. Typical intersections were 23m at 2.3g/t gold, 20m at 2.1g/t gold, 4m at 18.7g/t gold and 4m at 8.0g/t gold. The Kavola East system appears to be developing as a significant gold mineralised system at a grade of approximately 2g/t gold.
Recent trenching has defined two new prospects at Mt Penck named Peni Creek and Kavola South.
At Peni Creek, hand trenching defined high grade zones with best results of 3m at 180g/t gold within a 24m zone at 33.7g/t ........
Simuku Project (90% NGG - 10% S. Yeaman)
Drilling at the Simuku porphyry copper/ gold/ molybdenum project has confirmed the presence of significant molybdenum mineralisation. Two drill holes were completed (for complete results see Press Release dated 6th February 2007) with summary intersections as follows:
Yup River (50% NGG)
Rock chip and grid soil sampling located a 5 meter wide zone of bedrock mineralisation grading 2.47 g/t gold within a large gold soil anomaly at Dauri Prospect within the Yup River tenement........

Half Yearly Report & Half Year Accounts
ARC Energy Limited (ASX:ARQ) today announced a half-year EBITDAW (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and write-offs) of $39.0 million for the six months ended 31 December 2006, broadly in line with the previous corresponding period.
Revenue was boosted by 5.4% to $60.5 million for the period, due largely to an increase in the average price per barrel of oil from A$74.42 to A$79.08 and an increase of 13% in the portfolio gas price.
Net profit after tax (NPAT) for the half year was down 31% to $13.3 million on the corresponding period mainly due to increased depreciation and amortisation charges and a $4.0 million write-off of unsuccessful exploration expenditure.
Overall production remained essentially steady at 5,929 boepd compared to 6,161 boepd for the six months ending 31 December 2005. Production is expected to remain steady for the next half year subsequent to the successful development activity during the six months ended 31 December 2006.
Cash reserves increased to $57.2 million despite the continuous development drilling program being undertaken.
The Managing Director of ARC Energy, Mr Eric Streitberg, said: "This half-year result highlights the cash flow strength of our underlying oil and gas businesses. This strength provides the foundation for us to grow the company though targeted exploration and soundly based business development activity. We will shortly complete the Perth Basin development drilling program that underpins our cash flow strength and will be moving into exploration drilling in the Perth Basin before moving to the Canning Basin in May 2007.
Our business is driven by value adding activity and careful technical evaluation of exploration and commercial opportunities and we look forward to 2007 with confidence."..... - Web Site

Karara Iron Ore Project Feasibility Study Update
Gindalbie Metals Ltd (ASX: GBG) today announced that, following successful high-level Joint Venture meetings in China with its partner AnSteel, it has been agreed to defer completion and delivery of the final Bankable Feasibility Study on its Karara Iron Ore Project in Western Australia until August 2007.
Commenting on the announcement, Gindalbie's Managing Director, Mr Garret Dixon, said: "During a series of significant and productive meetings with AnSteel, we reached agreement on a range of important outcomes for both parties and for the Karara Project, which are positive for everyone involved in this Project."
"In the view of both parties, the revised completion timetable for the Karara Feasibility Study accommodates the expanded project scope," he added "As part of this, several important aspects of the detailed engineering and design for the Project will be undertaken in China, providing access to AnSteel's expertise as one of the world's most experienced magnetite companies."
"AnSteel's President and senior executives affirmed their strong, long-term commitment to this Project and to accelerating its development to ensure that it is capable of meeting the requirements of their new 5mt/annum steel-making facility currently being constructed at Bayuquan adjacent to the Port of Yingkou in north-east China," Mr Dixon commented. "The partners are adopting a truly cooperative approach to the development based on a genuine sharing of costs and risks and a shared, long-term vision, while at the same time leveraging off the respective strengths and skills of both partners."
The reason for this decision is that the Joint Venture partners are still to finalise the process flowsheet for the Karara Magnetite Project. This has resulted from:

Chatree Mine Upgrade - H West Mineralisation
Drilling within the Chatree Gold Mine Mining Lease continues to upgrade the H West resource, a mineralised zone immediately to the west of the main C-H pit and its extensions.
Significant new intersections from this ongoing drilling program are shown in Table 1 and include the following:
The significance of the H West upgraded mineralized area is that it lies within the Chatree Mine Lease and is highly likely to be a separate open pit. Preliminary pit optimization indicates that the mineralization is economic and pit designs are underway with a view to commence mining as soon as possible. Oxidized ore is expected from early mining, which will complement the existing fresh ore feed from C-H and A Pits.
Ongoing drilling in H West is focusing on mineralization within the Chatree Mining Lease, which currently extends for about 400m in strike. However the mineralization is open to the west beyond the existing Mining Lease.
An additional benefit, should an open pit be developed at H West, is that it will improve the economics of a possible extension to the existing H South pit and as such the potential for deeper mineralization at H South is also being investigated by extending drill holes from H West (Figures 2 and 3).
Interim mineral resources and ore reserves are currently underway...... - Web Site

EXTENSION TO GOLDEN PRIDE MINE LIFE
Resolute Mining Limited is pleased to announce that it has completed the reoptimisation of the resources at Golden Pride which will see the mine life extended out to at least six years.
Implementation of the previously announced expansion has been delayed due to equipment difficulties at the site and the increasing cost profile of mining. This has caused a review of the risk/reward attached to the previously announced expansion option and resulted in a decision to move to a smaller initial pit design with a lower strip ratio and less contained ounces.
A total of 670,000 ounces is contained in this new pit at an average cash cost of US$375 per ounce. In addition, the pit contains 110,000 ounces of inferred resources that are not included in the above figure. Considerably more resource exists outside this pit design but based on the current gold price and cost profile at Golden Pride is of marginal economic value. Drilling below and around the pit aimed at improving the confidence level of this resource is underway with encouraging initial results. The reoptimised pit can easily be expanded to incorporate these resources should the economics change.
Work on the cutback for the new pit commenced last quarter and is expected to ramp up over the next six months as the mining contractor review is completed and new equipment is delivered to site. Funding of the expansion can be met from cash generated from the mine.
The extra mine life in conjunction with further consolidation by the Company of prospective tenure in the region around Golden Pride opens up the opportunity for additional life through exploration success. - Web Site
Half Yearly Report & Accounts
INCOME STATEMENT
Resolute Mining Limited's (the "Group") net profit after tax attributable to its members for the half year ended 31 December 2006 is $172.9m (half year ended 31 December 2005 : $47.9m loss).
The record profit can be attributed to the $176.0m after tax profit derived on the sale of the Group's Valhalla Uranium, Paladin Resources, and Goldbelt Resources shareholdings. The majority of this gain is a result of the successful move in December 2005 to spin out the Group's key uranium assets into a separate listed entity, and the subsequent sale of this interest.
The Group's gross profit from continuing operations for the half year was a $3.5m profit (2005 : $4.4m profit).
The Group's gold production for the half year was 127,460 ounces (half year ended 31 December 2005 - 146,494 ounces) at an average cash cost of $632/oz ($499/oz). The Golden Pride gold mine in Tanzania, produced 63,847 ounces (2005 : 74,351 ounces) of gold in the 6 months ended 31 December 2006 at a cash cost of $563/oz (or US$432/oz) (2005 : $396/oz or US$296/oz) and the Ravenswood gold mine in Queensland, Australia, produced 63,613 ounces (2005 : 72,143 ounces) of gold at a cash cost of $702/oz (or US$539/oz) (2005 : $606/oz or US$454/oz).
The Resolute Mining Group's operating result has been adversely impacted by issues with mining and processing experienced at both of the Group's gold mines. Whilst action plans to resolve these issues are being implemented, it has resulted in lower gold production and higher cash costs per ounce (compared to the corresponding period) than expected.
The average accounting revenue price achieved per ounce of gold shipped during the period was $728/oz.
CASH AND BORROWINGS
As at 31 December 2006, Resolute Mining had $155.5m of cash and bullion, and a further $15.8m of liquid investments. Borrowings at period end totalled $8.1m. Resolute Mining's balance sheet has strengthened considerably and at 31 December 2006, the consolidated net assets were $255.9m, which is a significant increase from the $83.7m at 31 December 2005.
The significant increase in cash balances and net assets is due to the receipt of $199.5m of cash proceeds on the sale of the group's Valhalla Uranium, Paladin Resources and Goldbelt Resources shareholdings. As a result of the receipt of these funds, the Company is now very well placed to continue to fund its growth projects...... - Web Site
Syama Update
Resolute Mining Limited is pleased to announce that following the completion of the detailed design, it has updated the project economics for the redevelopment of the Syama gold mine in Mali.
Capital
The revised capital for the Project is US$118 million. As a result of changes in scope for the project and a shift in materials and labour costs there has been an increase in the overall capital of 22% (US$22 million). Of this increase, 65% relates to scope changes and 35% relates to cost escalation since the estimate completed in February 2006.
The largest area of movement has been in the electrical cost estimate as a result of the need for more cabling than previously anticipated....
Operating Costs
Operating costs have been re-estimated and have increased approximately 9% since the last review in February 2006 with the comparison summarised in Table 2 below.......
Ore Reserves and Mine Design
A further refinement of the open pit design with an in-wall ramp has been completed. The new design changes the ramp positions providing a second exit to the waste dumps and does not cut back the southeast wall of the pit where there is a concern about exposing graphitic shear zones at depth. The reserve cut-off grade has also been increased from 1.75g/t to 2g/t Au to reflect the recent increases in operating costs. The new pit contains 11,726,399 tonnes at 4.10 g/t Au for 1,546,610 ounces of gold and has a strip ratio of 5:1.
Project Economics
The various changes outlined above have been incorporated into a revised financial model of the project. The increase in costs have been matched by an increase in the gold price to show a project with a return above the required hurdle rate. Considerable upside to the project exists beyond that included in the financial model. There are underground resources immediately below the pit which combined with the continuing exploration success in the Quartz Vein Hill area to the north of the pit, provide confidence that a project of a much longer term can eventuate......... - Web Site

Gravity Survey Commenced at InterMet's Cocata Project
Survey Aimed at Producing Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold Targets and Defining the Yaninee Palaeochannel for Sandstone-Hosted Uranium Mineralisation
The Directors of InterMet (ASX:ITT) are pleased to announce the commencement of a regional 1 km x 1 km gravity survey over the Cocata Project by joint venture partners Silver Swan Group (ASX:SWN) and Uranium Equities Ltd (ASX:UEQ). The survey will take 2-3 weeks to complete.
The Cocata project comprises EL 3462 (723km2) and EL 3463 (487km2). InterMet has entered into two joint ventures over the Cocata Project. SWN have the option to earn up to 80% of the tenements to include all minerals exclusive of palaeochannel uranium but including IOCGU uranium mineralization.
UEQ can earn up to an 80% interest in the Cocata Uranium Project from InterMet by expending $2M within 5 years on exploration within the tenements. UEQ may withdraw at any time after an initial appraisal period provided it has expended at least $175,000 and met the expenditure conditions on the tenements. InterMet may elect to contribute pro-rata to expenditure once Uranium Equities has earned a 51% interest upon expenditure of $0.75M..... - Web Site

NICKEL EXPLORATION SUCCESS AT MARINERS & NORTH MIITEL
Drilling Outlines ‘NO9' Discovery at Mariners, Confirms North Miitel Extensions
Kambalda nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) today announced new results from two emerging near-mine nickel discoveries, with latest drilling showing widespread mineralisation around the recent ‘NO9' intersections below its operating Mariners Nickel Mine and confirming a northward extension to its currently producing North Miitel ore body.
The Company said significant ore reserve extensions appeared likely in both areas.
Mincor reported today (Monday) that it had completed a further 5 widely-spaced underground diamond drill-holes beneath its Mariners Mine, following up drill intersections announced on 5 December 2006 that included a best intersection of 6.65 metres @ 7.8% nickel in a position approximately 100 metres from existing underground infrastructure. This mineralisation is interpreted to be the long-postulated ‘NO9' ore body beneath the ‘NO8' ore body that is currently being mined.
The results of the 5 recent drill-holes, which were widely spaced around the original intersections, indicate mineralisation extending for at least 200 metres along strike and more than 140 metres in the dip direction. The mineralisation remains open in all directions except directly up-plunge to the north.
Significant new results are illustrated on the long section, and include:

Intrepid Announces Update to Resource and Reserve at Paulsens
Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX:IAU)(TSX:IXN)(ASX:IAU), an international gold and silver production, development and exploration company, announced an update to the resource/reserve estimates for the Paulsens Mine in Australia as at December 31, 2006.
At Paulsens, from inception through to December 31, 2006, gold production totaled 117,266 ounces from 488,260 tonnes processed, at an average grade of 7.94 grams per tonne gold and mill recovery of 94.1%. The mine is expected to produce an average of 75,000-80,000 ounces of gold per year for the first five years of operation.
Resources and reserves have been updated for the Paulsens Mine (as of December 31, 2006) resulting in an increase in both categories. The previous estimates were carried out in August 2006 (see press release dated October 2, 2006). Since that time a program of surface drilling comprising 20 holes for 7,591 metres was completed with results included in the current model (see press release dated January 3, 2007). In addition, a detailed review was undertaken by independent consultant ResEval to examine the mine model and review grade control data as well as reconciliation of mill production data.
The new resource (Measured plus Indicated) is 1,105,000 tonnes grading 10.7 grams per tonne for 379,700 ounces of gold. In addition, the Inferred resource is 122,000 tonnes at 9.3 grams per tonne for 36,300 ounces of gold (see Table 1). The main change has been the increase in Indicated Mineral Resource in the deeper portion of the deposit after incorporation of the results from the 2006 drilling program. The increase to Measured and Indicated resources since the last estimate (see press release dated October 2, 2006) net of mining depletion was 77,100 ounces gold.
The new reserve (Proven and Probable) at Paulsens is 821,000 tonnes grading 9.22 grams per tonne for 243,000 ounces of gold (see Table 2). The increase to reserve since the last estimate (see press release dated October 2, 2006) net of mining depletion was 66,150 ounces gold.
The new reserve was calculated at a cut-off of 4.8 grams per tonne gold versus the August reclassification of 4.0 grams per tonne gold in conformance with revised stope design parameters........ - Web Site
