Stocks rose, dropped and then recovered Friday - just as they did over the course of the first quarter, as Wall Street showed nervousness about rising inflation and dollar weakness but took solace in resilient consumer spending and slow but steady economic growth.
The Commerce Department reported that core inflation rose in February at the fastest rate since August, which also caused wariness among investors.
The Dow Jones industrials ended the quarter down about 108 points, or 0.87 percent, the blue chip index's most feeble performance since the second quarter of 2005.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both finished the quarter less than 1 percent higher, posting their most meager performance, both point-wise and percentage-wise, since the second quarter of 2006.
Advancing issues narrowly outnumbered decliners, on slightly lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Copper prices are headed for a fourth consecutive weekly gain and the biggest monthly increase since April on signs of robust demand for the metal.
Inventories monitored by the London Metal Exchange have fallen for a seventh straight week, the longest decline since July 2005. Producers including Codelco and Freeport McMorRan Copper & Gold Inc., the two biggest, said this week that Asian demand will remain strong.
Gold futures made fresh gains Friday to close almost $6-an-ounce higher for the week as developments in Iran and China punctuated the metal's appeal as a safe-haven investment. But gold's April contract finished the month of March with a loss of more than 1%.

Sale of non-core assets
CuDeco is poised to pocket almost $8 million from the sale of non-core assets, as it focuses on its Rocklands project near Cloncurry.
CuDeco has entered into a conditional agreement with ASX hopeful Queensland Mining Corporation (QMC) for the sale of the Mt Norma copper sulphate business and associated mineral leases.
QMC holds copper and gold assets adjacent to CuDeco's Rocklands project and a 'significant' nickel-copper deposit in the Northern Territory.
The copper sulphate business it is buying comprises copper sulphate production plant and equipment in Cloncurry, all inventory including ore stockpiles and the Mt Norma mining leases which provide feed ore for the processing plant.
The deal will see CuDeco transfer its 75 per cent interest in Kryptonite Battery Company, which owns the Mt Norma leases, and its full ownership of Flamingo Copper Mines, which owns the Flamingo leases, to QMC.
CuDeco will receive $2.175 million in cash by the end of June and $5.75 million in QMC shares for the assets.
CuDeco chairman Wayne McCrae, who controls the remaining 25 per cent of Kryptonite Battery Company, has also agreed to sell his interest to QMC under the same terms. Following the transactions, Mr McCrae, through related entities, will own 10.79 per cent of QMC's capital.
QMC is seeking an ASX listing later this year, after which CuDeco is expected to hold a 13 per cent interest in the company.
QMC has indicated that it will offer its shares to CuDeco shareholders on a priority basis as part of the listing process.
"The disposal sends a clear signal to investors that the company and its directors are totally focused on the Rocklands project, which, in its own right, has the potential to be a company maker," said the company in a statement to the stock exchange.
"At the same time, CuDeco will have a significant interest in QMC and will be able to benefit from the upside offered by QMC's diverse portfolio of assets."- Web Site

Exploration Update & Activity Report
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY REPORT WITH PLANNED 2007 DRILLING SCHEDULE
Your company will shortly be commencing an exciting drilling campaign in our core Australian exploration acreage in the Cooper Basin.
As per the attached Victoria Petroleum NL Planned 2007 Drilling Schedule, sixteen exploration and development wells are planned to be drilled over the next six months.
Over the next three months, exploration and development drilling activity will be centred on the Cooper/Eromanga Basin in South Australia, and the Onshore Gulf Coast Texas USA.
Within the Cooper Basin, exploration activity will focus on Wirraway-1 to be drilled in early April 2007 and the follow on development well, Growler-2, on the 2006 Growler-1 oil discovery.
Exploration success at Wirraway-1 will be of great significance to your company as it will further confirm the importance of the Growler oil discovery and the presence of a new oil production province in the northwest Cooper/Eromanga Basin
Of the four wells that have been drilled by your company in the Cooper Basin of South Australia and southwest Queensland over the last 3 months, oil was recovered on drill stem test from two wells, Wilpinnie-4 and Telowie-1.
The Wilpinnie-4 oil recovery has enhanced the oil bearing potential of the Tomcat Prospect in PEL 115, with Wilpinnie-4 to be production tested in June 2007 and drilling of Tomcat-1 planned for July 2007.
The recovery of oil from the Murta formation in Telowie-1 provides further encouragement for the potential presence of commercial oil discoveries, targets for drilling in mid 2007, in the northern part of PEL 94 on trend with the adjacent Harpoono oil fields.
In the North Perth Basin I am pleased to report that, the Jingemia-11 oil development well has been successfully drilled and it is anticipated will increase gross oil production from the Jingemia Oil Field from 3,200 to 5,000 barrels oil per day.
Within the Texas onshore Gulf Coast basin Margarita Gas Exploration Project, all three shallow gas wells drilled have encountered gas and have been completed for production.
Following on from the initial three well program, a further three shallow wells are planned to be drilled in late April 2007 as a precursor to a deeper exploration program planned to commence in the second half 2007.
Further exploration and development success in the forthcoming Cooper Basin and Onshore Gulf Coast Basin drilling programs will add to Victoria Petroleum NL's current net production of 280 barrels oil per day, to achieve the near term target of approximately 500 barrels of oil per day with associated increase in oil and gas net revenue and net recoverable oil reserves.
An independent report by "Stock Analysis" on the possible impact of exploration success on Victoria Petroleum for any of the wells being drilled over the next six months is attached for your review. The importance of the Wirraway-1 well results is highlighted. - Web Site

Stocks ended higher in volatile trading Thursday as investors weighed fears about mounting tension in Iran against a report that indicated better-than-expected U.S. economic growth.
The major indexes bounced around, and spent most of the session looking for direction as crude prices surged to a six-month high. Investors remain nervous about the West's response to British sailors held captive in Iran, and oil prices crossed the $66 mark.
This offset the Commerce Department's final measure of fourth-quarter gross domestic product, which showed growth of 2.5 percent. That could help quell concerns the economy is slowing too quickly.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1, on slightly lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
U.S. gold futures finished down on Thursday, hurt by selling by funds as prices failed to break a key technical level, but far from their session-low due to support from surging oil prices.

2006 Annual Report
Chairman's Review
During 2006, Tap continued its program to change the strategic direction of the Company. Our primary goal is to improve our exploration success record and future profi tability. Major steps have been taken to transform Tap's focus and performance by changing its technical approach, management and staff capabilities.
Tap has:
In 2007, Tap has maintained this momentum to change its outlook as shown by:
Tap's 2006 financial performance resulted in a small profit due in large part to a write-off of exploration expenditures of $18 million. While the lack of recent exploration success is disappointing, the Company's new strategy is expected to improve Tap's future performance by:
The result of this strategy will see Tap drill less wells but the overall drilling programme will deliver greater potential to increase Tap's oil and gas production.
I thank my fellow Directors, management and staff for their efforts in driving these changes forward. They have been well supported by Tap's joint venture partners, contractors and advisers. I especially thank our former Chairman, Mr John Mumford, who retired in June 2006, John's leadership and encouragement for change set an example for us all to follow.
My special thanks go to Tap's CEO, Mr Paul Underwood, who has strived to implement the strategic changes described above. While Paul has advised that he will retire from this position at the end of this year, we look forward to his contributions in the future as a non-executive Director of the Company. - Web Site

Project Update
NULLAGINE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
The Company is pleased to advise that significant progress has been achieved in advancing the development proposal for the Nullagine Project.
After assessment of a number of alternatives for carrying out the mining of the various deposits comprising the project, the Company has elected to utilise owner mining as its preferred mining option. This has resulted in a significant cost saving over contract rates provided by a number of mining contractors late last year.
The new mining costs have been used as the basis for preparing a revised Financial Model which shows improved returns. Subject to final auditing by Westpac and their independent consultant, RSG Global, this model will form the Base Case Model for the establishment of the level of project debt available from Westpac. It is expected that this process will be completed by mid-April.
The Department of Environment and Conservation has advised that it has approved the Works Approval for the construction of the processing plant. Approval of the Mining Proposal which is now the only outstanding regulatory approval required for the project to proceed is now expected from the Department of Industry and Resources in early April.
Detailed planning for the construction of the processing plant has been ongoing and it is now anticipated that construction will commence in May with first gold production at the commencement of the second quarter 2008.
EXPLORATION OUTLINES LARGE-SCALE GOLD TARGET
An extensive zone of near-surface (,2o m depth) gold mineralisation has been defined by recent exploration of the Archaean conglomerate located at the Beatons Creek prospect at Nullagine. The large areal extent (>3 km2) and flat-lying character of the mineralisation within this target suggests there is the potential to develop a low-strip ratio, bulk-tonnage gold resource. Moreover, the coarse nature of the gold and it's occurrence within the oxidised matrix of the conglomerate suggests that the mineralisation may be amenable to cost-effective processing involving a combination of mechanical beneficiation and gravity or heap-leach treatment to produce gold. The results from the Beatons Creek prospect are a clear demonstration of the potential that exists within the Company's landholding..... - Web Site

MINCOR DELIVERS 16,100 TONNE NICKEL RESOURCE AT CARNILYA HILL
Mineral Resource of 328,000 tonnes @ 4.9% Nickel Highlights Rapid Development Opportunity
Kambalda nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) has laid the foundations for a new mine development at its 70%-owned Carnilya Hill nickel discovery in Western Australia after today announcing an initial resource estimate of 16,100 tonnes of contained nickel metal for the deposit.
Mincor said today (Thursday) that feasibility studies on the Carnilya Hill Project, located some 25km northeast of Kambalda, were progressing rapidly with a development decision targeted before end-June 2007.
The initial resource estimate - which comes less than a year after the first hole was drilled by Mincor down-plunge of the old mine workings at Carnilya Hill - confirms a substantial nickel discovery with the potential to become Mincor's fifth mine in the Kambalda district. Carnilya Hill is one of a series of advanced development and exploration opportunities that Mincor has assembled in the region.
The initial Carnilya Hill resource estimate is based on 56 separate intersections by diamond drill holes in the two mineralised surfaces. The entire Mineral Resource is classified as being at the Indicated Resource level (Table 1).
The resource estimate follows a highly successful drill-out program, the final hole of which was completed last week - delivering an intersection of 2.79 metres @ 8.61% nickel (CMD028W1). The location of this final intersection is considered very promising, as it suggests that the ore trend plunges more steeply from that point than previously expected. This in turn suggests that the ore trend remains entirely open in the down-plunge direction (see long section attached)...... - Web Site

Drilling Report (Juha 5, Kutubu 2, Ghard-1, Bina Bawi-1, Kasad-1, Riyan-1)
WELL NAME: Juha 5
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 29 March, the Juha 5 well was undergoing a wiper trip before continuing to acquire wireline logs.
During the week, the well was drilled to a total depth of 3,652 metres and a wireline logging programme commenced. The Toro Formation has been penetrated close to prediction and correlates well with the existing wells, suggesting that the Juha structure and reservoir distribution is as expected. Initial results, however, suggest that the Toro reservoir has been penetrated below the gas-water contact - this will be confirmed with pressure data. The pressure gradients will enable an accurate depth of the gas-water contact to be determined, and will allow a reserves estimation to be made for this part of the Juha field.
The forward plan will be finalised once the logging is complete and the information has been evaluated.
WELL NAME: Kutubu 2
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 29 March, the Kutubu 2 exploration was at a depth of 1,174 metres and completing the running and cementing of 9-5/8" casing. Drilling progress for the week was 221 metres.
Kutubu 2 is located in PPL 219, and is 18 kilometres east of the main Iagifu-Hedinia field, and 12 kilometres east of the Arakubi prospect. The primary objective is the Toro Sandstone with a secondary target in the Iagifu Sandstone. The planned total depth of the well is 2,300 metres MD.
WELL NAME: Ghard-1ST
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Egypt time (+3 hrs GMT) on 28 March, Ghard-1ST was at a total depth of 3,436 metres.
During the week, a 7" liner was run to TD and the well is preparing to run two drill stem tests in the Lower 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-1ST well are reservoirs in the Cretaceous Abu Roash, Bahariya and Alam El Bueib Formations. 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 March, the Bina Bawi-1 well was still waiting on materials and testing equipment for the planned testing programme.
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 March, the Kasad-1 testing programme was continuing.
During the week, the first test (DST-1) in the primary Qishn target failed due to a mechanical problem with the electrical submersible pump. The second test (DST-2), also in the primary Qishn target, is currently underway.
The Kasad-1 well is testing 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 Kuhlan Sandstone.
WELL NAME: Riyan-1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+4 hrs GMT) on 28 March, the Riyan-1 exploration well was at a depth of 2,664 metres and drilling ahead in a 12-1/4" hole. Progress for the week was 1,456 metres
During the week, 13-3/8" casing was run and the well drilled ahead in 12-1/4" hole.
The Riyan-1 well is located in Block 15, offshore Yemen, in 562 metres of water. The primary objective of the well is to test a structural closure containing clastic reservoirs of the Late Oligocene Upper Ghaydah Formation. The planned total depth of the well is 2,738 metres. This is the first well in a two well back-to-back programme in the block.- Web Site

View Resources to Fast Track Nickel Production at Carnilya Hill
View Resources Ltd (View) and its Carnilya Hill Joint Venture Partner (JV) are expediting the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) at the Carnilya Hill Nickel Project on the back of the new resource statement released today. The JV will complete the BFS in the next 6-8 weeks and look to recommence mining as soon as practicable thereafter to take advantage of current high nickel prices.
An in-situ resource of 16,100t's of contained nickel metal has been identified from an indicated resource of 328,400t's @ 4.9% Ni. [Note (i)]. Additionally there is an additional resource of 1,800t of nickel metal at the nearby Zone 29 ore body.
The recommissioning of the historic Carnilya Hill Nickel Project is a quick and low capital cost exercise. The new resource has been identified as a continuation of the western plunge of the main ore body and the existing decline is fully serviceable to the top of the new resource. With all surface infrastructure in place at the mine site and the ore offtake agreement with BHPB current, recommissioning the operation is a low risk process...... - Web Site

2006 Annual Report
Chairman's and Managing Director's Review
The year in review was one of significant achievement for Indophil Resources NL, underpinned by a challenging commercial, environmental and community development work program for staff and stakeholders. Highlights of the year included:
New mineral resource - In April, Indophil announced a new resource estimate for the Tampakan Copper-Gold Project, the Company's flagship asset. The Measured, Indicated and Inferred resource estimate is two billion tonnes using a 0.3% copper cut-off grade. This represents an increase of 47% in resource tonnes over the 1.34 billion tonnes estimate contained in last year's annual report, and it represents a 66% increase over the 1.2 billion tonnes estimate in place when the pre-feasibility study began in early 2005.
Pre-feasibility study completed - Indophil delivered the pre-feasibility study work program of the Tampakan project on time and on budget, and has moved into the definitive feasibility study stage.
Xstrata Copper exercises Tampakan option - In December 2006, Xstrata Copper advised Indophil that it was exercising its option to acquire 62.5% of the Tampakan project. Under this arrangement, Indophil will retain 32.5% of this exciting copper-gold project after settlement on 30 March 2007. Following Xstrata Copper's advice, Indophil began the process of Tampakan management handover to Xstrata Copper.
Indophil emerges as a future copper producer - Xstrata Copper's decision to exercise the Tampakan option is a strong validation of the world-class nature of the Tampakan project. The involvement of Xstrata, a major global mining company, coupled with the favourable findings of the study work program, enhances the prospects of developing this cost-competitive copper-gold project, and reinforces Indophil's position as an emerging copper producer.
New business opportunities identified - Indophil has interests beyond the Tampakan project and a determination to pursue growth through successful project development. Your Company has an exploration portfolio in the Philippines, and it is evaluating other opportunities in the Philippines and elsewhere in the South East Asia region.
Indophil remains an attractive investment - Considering the quality of Indophil's asset base, your Company believes the market has placed a relatively conservative valuation on Indophil when compared to its peers. Indophil has considerable potential for upward revaluation.... - Web Site

WONNICH DEEP-1 EXPLORATION WELL UPDATE
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") provides the following update for the Wonnich Deep-1 exploration well.
Location
The Wonnich Deep-1 well is located in Production Licence TL/8 and is being drilled from the existing Wonnich Platform. The Wonnich Deep-1 prospect lies underneath the producing Wonnich Flag gas reservoir and Wonnich Platform.
Progress
As at 6.00am today the well is suspended and the drilling rig is secured and unmanned as result of Tropical Cyclone Kara.
Following mobilization of rig personnel, anticipated for later this week, operations will continue to drill and complete a horizontal development well to test the Upper Jurassic Dupuy Sandstone objective.
Tap Comment
Wonnich Deep-1 has successfully encountered what appears to be a thinly bedded gas bearing Upper Jurassic Dupuy sandstone interval. A sidetrack is being drilled to complete the Dupuy sandstones for well testing and production.
As previously reported, the shallower Flag reservoir target contained an un-swept gas zone in what is possibly a separate compartment of the Wonnich Field. These volumes can also be accessed with the proposed completion and development.
The Wonnich Deep-1 well is being drilled from the Wonnich platform so any test volumes will be tied-in to production facilities at Varanus Island. - Web Site

Stocks fell Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke chided investors who may have looked past long-standing concerns about inflation. The Dow Jones industrials fell nearly 100 points, the third straight session of declines.
A rise in oil prices to a six-month high and a weaker-than-expected rise in orders for large manufactured goods compounded investors' concerns Wednesday.
In Capitol Hill testimony, Bernanke said while core inflation slowed modestly in the second half of 2006, recent readings remain "uncomfortably high." He also said troubles among some mortgage lenders that cater to those with poor credit don't appear to have spread to the broader economy, though he added the situation requires further observation.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1, on increased volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Copper prices rose in New York, erasing an earlier decline, as global inventories of the metal headed for the biggest monthly drop since June.
Gold rose to a three-week high as the U.K. increased diplomatic pressure on Iran over the seizure of 15 sailors and marines, spurring demand for the precious metal as a haven. Silver also gained.

Conrad Silver Project - Progress Report on Drilling
Malachite Resources NL (ASX: MAR) advises that the drilling program currently underway at the Conrad Silver Project is going very well and assay results for the first batch of approximately 300 samples are expected to be available in April.
To date 10 drill holes have been completed in the current program, for a total of 1,750 metres of pre-collared diamond core drilling. All of these holes are in the King Conrad part of the system, where high grade silver and base metal mineralisation is known from past production records and earlier drilling by the Company. The new holes represent the first stage of resource definition drilling for the project.
Two main styles of mineralisation continue to be intersected at Conrad, comprising narrow, high grade lodes like those mined historically and wide zones of lower grade, disseminated and stockwork vein mineralisation. The latter style has been the main focus of drilling so far, as it offers much promise for open pit development at the site and considerably enhances the potential of the project.
The Company is being assisted in this program by independent mining consultants, Cube Consulting Pty. Ltd, of Perth, WA, who have advised on drill hole spacing and orientation, following three dimensional modeling of the mineralized bodies. The same group will assist the Company to calculate drill hole intersection grades and cut-offs, so that the results will be able to be integrated into the subsequent estimation of a mineral resource in a manner compliant with the requirements of the JORC Code1.
A second, "small footprint" diamond drill rig is due on site within a few weeks and will be utilized to drill from locations that, due to topographic constraints, are not suitable for the current rig. The second rig will particularly target the confluence of the Conrad Lode, King Conrad Lode and Alwell's Lode, where some excellent grades are expected. - Web Site

Agreement with OneSteel & Shareholder Update
AGREEMENT SIGNED WITH ONESTEEL TO EVALUATE RECYCLING APPLICATIONS FOR AUSTPAC'S EARS AND DRI TECHNOLOGIES IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY
Austpac Resources N.L. is pleased to announce that an agreement has been signed with OneSteel Limited that will cooperatively progress the commercialisation of Austpac's EARS acid regeneration and Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) technologies. This new initiative involving the steel industry was developed using elements of our ERMS SR process, the synthetic rutile technology which we have been advancing over the past eight months with BHP Billiton.
The program will investigate the potential for Austpac's EARS acid regeneration process to recycle waste products generated by OneSteel's steelmaking processes, including using our pilot plant facilities to recover iron (as direct reduced iron pellets) from mill scale and spent pickle liquor. Austpac has previously conducted bench scale tests using mill scale, electric arc furnace dust, and pickle liquor. This work indicated that up to two tonnes of mill scale could be mixed with one tonne of spent liquor to regenerate one tonne of HCI and 1.6 tonnes of iron pellets. The economics of such a recycling operation appear to be very favourable.
The program will also examine the potential for recovery of iron and zinc from electric arc furnace dust, again using the EARS process. Due to the high levels of zinc (30%) contained in the dust, this new initiative will be commercially significant if the research work is successful.
The program will commence in April 2007 and be substantially complete by mid year. Larger scale test work is planned once the proposed ERMS SR Demonstration Plant at Newcastle has been completed and operated by processing ilmenite to produce high grade synthetic rutile and DRI pellets.
Other projects are also progressing well:

HIGH GRADE COPPER-GOLD INTERSECTED AT KANMANTOO
Further Extensions to Existing Resource Highlight Underground Potential
Hillgrove Resources Limited's (ASX:HGO) ongoing resource definition drill program at the company's flagship Kanmantoo project has intersected high grade copper-gold mineralisation.
Kanmantoo, located 55km south east of Adelaide, currently holds a JORC-compliant resource of 262,000 tonnes of contained copper and 177,200 ounces of gold.
Results from recent drilling (Table 1-2 and Figure 1) highlight significant new mineralisation not yet incorporated within the latest resource or the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) economic model, with some high grade intercepts highlighting the potential for an underground development. Better results include:
South East Zone:
Further resource definition work has identified both down dip and strike extensions to the existing mineralisation together with a new zone of high grade copper-gold mineralisation. This new high grade copper-gold zone has again demonstrated that the grades are present within the Kanmantoo project which could potentially support an underground development.
Eastern Zone:
Results have continued to identify significant widths of copper mineralisation along the eastern side of the old Kanmantoo pit providing further extensions to the existing resource base in the area.
Main Zone:
Drilling targeting the main zone has continued to return encouraging results with further extensions to the existing resource identified both down dip and along strike to the north. The northern extensions have significantly expanded the mineralisation in this area which has the potential to further expand any potential mining operation.
O'Neil Zone:
The new assay results have identified a further down dip extension to the copper mineralisation within the northern part of the O'Neil Zone.
Drilling has successfully highlighted new high grade copper-gold and copper mineralisation within key zones of the existing resource model both down dip and along strike. This highlights the potential for continuing resource expansions and upgrades particularly down dip below the existing resource. The intersection of this new mineralisation points towards the potential for a further expanded re-development at Kanmantoo and the potential for an associated underground development.
Drilling is continuing and further results will be released when they come to hand.- Web Site

Stocks fell Tuesday as investors grew wary when new data raised the possibility that the nation's weak housing market would seep into the broader economy and constrain consumer spending. A housing index released Tuesday by Standard & Poor's showed that prices of single-family U.S. homes fell in January compared to a year ago, in their worst showing since January 2004. Wall Street has been nervous lately that a drop in housing values will further weaken subprime mortgage lenders.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 2 to 1, on slightly lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Copper prices fell the most in a month in New York on concerns that demand from the U.S., the world's second-biggest user of the metal, will slow as home sales decline.
Gold held steady as the market focus shifted to Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony to congress tomorrow, shrugging off the release of weaker than expected US consumer confidence data.

FOCUS MINERALS FAST TRACKS PLAN TO MINE NEPEAN NICKEL
NEW SCOPING STUDY POINTS TO SUBSTANTIAL NEAR-TERM VALUE
WA nickel and gold company Focus Minerals Ltd (ASX: FML) will commence a new drilling program at the Company's wholly-owned Nepean Nickel Project near Coolgardie, Western Australia, after today announcing plans to initiate a pre-feasibility study aimed at re-commencing mining operations at Nepean within the next 12 months.
The Nepean Nickel Project is centered on the historic Nepean Nickel Mine, which produced 32,303 tonnes of nickel metal between 1970 and 1987 at a recovered grade of 2.99% nickel from 1.1Mt of ore. The Project hosts an Inferred Resource of 409,000t @ 2.39% Ni, which is contained within underground remnant blocks and the crown pillar.
A recently completed scoping study, which included an assessment of the open pit potential of the crown pillar and the potential to mine underground remnant ore from within the Nepean Mine, has indicated that the project could produce a significant return at prevailing nickel prices which are ranging between A$50,000 and A$60,000 per tonne.
Focus anticipates completing feasibility work on the project in the September 2007 Quarter, with the aim of commencing mine development early in 2008.
As soon as practicable, Focus will commence a 2,400m RC and Diamond Drill program at Nepean in order to recover metallurgical samples of the crown pillar. Access to the Nepean underground workings will be re- established so that an assessment of the condition of the workings and a number of the remnant ore blocks can be made. Discussions about processing options for the ore are being progressed with a number of parties...... - Web Site

Activity Update
1. PRODUCTION
1.1 Mauritania
Further to ROC's Stock Exchange announcement on 24 January 2007, the Company advises that the Chinguetti-18 development well has been completed for production and is being brought onstream. Completing of the well was delayed due to downhole mechanical difficulties that have been now rectified. Gross production from the Chinguetti Oil Field currently approximates to 24,000 BOPD (Net ROC: 780 BOPD).
1.2 Australia
The Cliff Head Oil Field has been producing at a relatively steady rate, generally between 8,000 and 9,000 BOPD (Net ROC: 3,000 - 3,375 BOPD) from four of the six designated oil producers. A planned workover in April is expected to be undertaken without major interruption to production.
1.3 China
Gross oil production from the Zhao Dong C and D fields has running at approximately 23,000 BOPD (Net ROC: 5,630 BOPD). The 15 well 2007 drilling programme is scheduled to start in April 2007.
2. DEVELOPMENT
2.1 UK
The latest information from the operator of the Enoch Oil and Gas Field and the Blane Oil Field, suggests that while Enoch remains on schedule for first production in 2Q 2007 first oil from Blane will likely slip to 3Q2007 due to exceptional waiting on weather periods and delays with topside construction on the third party host platform. These, and other factors, have contributed to a cost increase for the Blane development which is now likely to total approximately £250 million, (Net ROC: £31.5 million) up approximately 20% since ROC's previously announced estimate in November 2006. The total capital cost of the Enoch development is now expected to be approximately £100 million (Net ROC: £12 million), up 7.5% from ROC's previously announced estimate in November 2006.
3. EXPLORATION
3.1 Angola
The ROC-owned Explorer Rig arrived in Cabinda on schedule in mid-March. The rig is currently stacked and waiting on wellsite and road construction which is, in turn, waiting on the end of the rainy season which usually occurs in late April. Upgrading of the Simmons rig in Dubai continues on schedule and that rig is still expected to arrive in Cabinda in May 2007.
Ongoing interpretation of the 2005 and 2006 seismic surveys has confirmed more than 30 prospects and leads. In addition to the two prospects previously identified, Masambala and Caju, three other prospects have so far been high graded as possible candidates for drilling during 2007.
Based on the encouraging results achieved to date, ROC and its co-venturers have agreed to acquire a further 200 sq km of 3D seismic during 2007 to detail a large 2D seismic lead.
3.2 Australia
The Premium Wilcraft jack-up drilling rig remains on schedule to commence drilling the Franklin-1, the first well of a three well exploration programme in the offshore Perth Basin, in early April.
3.3 China
In response to an invitation to tender, ROC has received a number of bids relating to jack-up rigs that could be made available for a multi-well exploration drilling programme scheduled to commence in Block 22/12 in the Beibu Gulf in late 2007/early 2008. - Web Site

AWE's Tui-3H update
AWE Ltd ("AWE") reports that at 0600 hours today, the Tui-3H well was running production tubing as part of the completion operations. During the past week, the well was drilled to total measured depth of 5,384 metres, with the last 1,267 metres being near horizontal following close to the top of oil bearing reservoir. The last 1,173 metres was drilled within an oil column of 6-13 metres within the range of expectations.
Drilling progress for the week was 204 metres and a production liner was successfully set in the horizontal section. Following the completion operations, the Tui-3H well will be suspended and the rig will be moved to the Amokura-2H well.
The Tui Area Development is located within PMP 38158, in the Taranaki basin, approximately 50 kilometres offshore of the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. First oil is expected from the development by June 30, 2007, and when fully commissioned, a production rate peaking at 50,000 bopd is anticipated. - Web Site

Ilse-1 Update
As of this morning WA time, casing operations at the Ilse-1 well are now complete, with a 5 inch liner cemented to the total depth of approximately 17,000 feet (5,183 metres). Since the most recent update on 21 March 2007, the well was able to be stabilised and the drill string pulled out of the hole followed by the acquisition of wireline logs.
Preliminary log interpretation indicates a number of potential zones of interest with interpreted hydrocarbon bearing sands totalling between approximately 10 and 50 feet in the Lower Wilcox section and other potential gas/condensate bearing sands further up the hole in the Upper Wilcox. A decision as to which zones will be tested will be made once log analysis is complete.
Due to the nature of the over-pressured formations at total depth and for safety considerations, the decision was made not to attempt to drill deeper in this well.
The scope and timing of the testing programme is yet to be determined but will be announced as soon as agreed by the joint venture.
Antares' Managing Director Howard McLaughlin commented as follows:
"The interpreted pay zones from this well have the potential to lead to commercial production in a relatively short order given the close proximity of our well to existing gas processing and export infrastructure in the New Taiton area. This however is still subject to the successful testing of this well which will also give us a better understanding of the volume of reserves that may be present in this discovery." - Web Site

Wall Street pared steep losses early Monday to end narrowly mixed after a surprise drop in new home sales for February triggered further concern that economic growth is slowing more than expected. The Commerce Department reported that sales of new single-family homes fell by 3.9 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 848,000. It was the slowest sales pace in nearly seven years and dimmed hopes for a rebound in the troubled housing market.
Oil prices rose Monday, with a barrel of light sweet crude up 63 cents to $62.91 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude prices have risen steadily on continued tensions between Iran and the West following Iran's detention of British naval personnel. Recent declines in U.S. oil inventories also supported the market.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3-to-2, on slightly higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Continuing tight supply/demand fundamentals enabled copper futures to move to their highest level of the year Monday, with traders and analysts reporting that short covering occurred.
Gold prices in New York rose after energy costs surged, spurring demand for the precious metal as a hedge against inflation.
IMWAUNA DRILLING INTERSECTS GRADES TO 44.5g/t GOLD &
86g/t SILVER OVER 1.4m
Vancouver 26th March 2007. New Guinea Gold (NGG) reports further drill results from its 100% owned Imwauna Project within the Normanby Property. All results above a cut-off of 0.5g/t gold are shown in the table below.
Intersections ranged from 1.4m at 44.5g/t gold and 86g/t silver within a 3.8m zone averaging 21.2g/t gold and 44g/t silver, to wider intervals of moderate grade such as 4.6m at 9.5g/t gold and 15g/t gold, to narrow low grade intervals such as 0.5m at 1.65g/t gold and 1g/t silver.
Of particular significance are the multiple intersections in hole IMD 094 of 4.6m at 0.5g/t gold and 15g/t silver between 9.1 and 13.7m downhole; 1.7m at 13.36g/t gold and 16g/t silver between 34.4 and 36.1m downhole, and 0.5m at 15.5g/t gold and 29g/t silver between 64.7 and 65.2m downhole. These multiple intersections suggest that some earlier holes were terminated prematurely and did not test the entire mineralised zone. Hole IMD 092 was terminated prematurely due to operational reasons and may not have fully tested the target zone. These results continue to add to our knowledge of the Imwauna mineralised zone. Overall the results are as expected with continued wide variations in grade and width along strike and to depth. Experience has now shown that even narrow intervals of high grade such as the 0.5m at 15.5g/t between 64.7 and 65.2m in IMD094; and 0.2m at 34.3g/t between 153.2 and 153.4m downhole in IMD087 are significant as these zones can rapidly increase in width along strike or to depth.
A second diamond core drill has now been mobilised to Normanby Island. After completing several holes at the adjacent Weioko prospect on the Sehulea Property this drill will move to Imwauna to increase the drilling capability at that project. In addition a new 14 tonne excavator has been mobilised to Imwauna to commence exploratory trenching outside and beyond the drilled area at Imwauna. Exploration such as soil geochemistry, CSAMT geophysics and aeromagnetics suggests that mineralisation is present over an area of 4km by 2km (see map on our web site at www.newguineagold.ca) and the area tested by drilling to date at Imwauna represents less than 10% of the potentially mineralised area at surface. The Imwauna system is as yet essentially unknown at depths of more than 100m.
Future drilling at Imwauna will focus on exploratory holes to test the system at depth and further along strike. These exploration holes will allow an inferred resource for the system to be estimated in addition to possible indicated and measured resources based on the detailed drilling completed to date......

BHP Billiton Successfully Completes A$3.5 Billion (US$2.8 Billion) Off-Market Share Buy-Back
BHP Billiton today announced the successful completion of its off-market buy-back of 141.1 million BHP Billiton Limited shares. This completes the first stage of the US$10 billion buy-back programme that was announced on 7 February 2007. The 141.1 million shares bought back represent 2.42 per cent of the issued share capital of the BHP Billiton Group and 4.03 per cent of BHP Billiton Limited.
The final price for the buy-back has been set at A$24.81 per share, representing a discount of 14 per cent to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of BHP Billiton Limited shares over the five trading days up to and including the closing date of the buy-back(1). This significant discount to market ensures the buy-back is in the best interests of all of BHP Billiton's shareholders, regardless of their location, tax status or participation in the buy-back. The closing price for BHP Billiton Limited and the opening price for BHP Billiton Plc on 23 March 2007 were A$29.20 and GBP11.10(2), respectively. In addition to the completion of this off-market buy-back the on-market purchase of BHP Billiton Plc shares has continued. Since September 2006 104.9 million BHP Billiton Plc shares have been repurchased at an average price of GBP 9.60 leaving approximately US$1 billion of this initiative to complete....... - Web Site
