Wall Street recorded a solid advance Friday after data on job creation, manufacturing and inflation injected the market with renewed confidence about the economy and sent major indexes to record closes.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was the biggest gainer among the major indicators and moved toward its all-time trading high.
Investors found reason for optimism in a stronger-than-expected jobs report for May. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 157,000 last month, a larger increase than in April and more than analysts anticipated. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.5 percent, as forecast, according to the Labor Department report.
The economic picture appeared brighter still following a lower reading on inflation from the Commerce Department and data from the Institute for Supply Management's May survey, which indicated that the manufacturing sector was strengthening.
The Dow, which tacked on 1.19 percent for the week, also set a fresh trading high of 13,692.00 Friday.
The S&P's gains, which totaled 1.36 percent for the week, came as a welcome development for many investors given that so many investments such as mutual funds are tied to the S&P's performance.
The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index advanced 2.22 percent for the week.
As stocks climbed Friday, bonds fell sharply.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1, on lower volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Crude oil rose more than $1 and gasoline surged on concern that U.S. refiners aren't increasing motor-fuel production enough to replenish stockpiles.
Copper futures in New York had the first weekly gain in a month after inventories declined in China, the world's biggest consumer of the metal.
Gold in New York rose the most three months on speculation that central banks will slow metal sales after the European Central Bank said it has no plans to sell more bullion through September. Silver jumped 2 percent.
Energy, mining and financial markets groups have applauded the carbon trading scheme proposed by the Federal Government's Task Group on Emissions Trading, saying it will remove uncertainty for investors and provide clear price signals to encourage energy efficiency.
The Task Group has suggested that emissions permits be limited to facilities producing more than 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year - a threshold that would include about 900 Australian businesses and cover about 80 per cent of total emissions, excluding the agriculture, land use and waste sectors.
Minerals Council of Australia chief Mitchell Hooke described the scheme as "just the comprehensive framework that business is looking for".
He said he was particularly pleased that the proposed scheme would encourage the adoption of new technology and energy-efficiency measures, rather than imposing an "indiscriminate, punitive tax".
The Energy Supply Association said the Task Group's recommended scheme was an "effective, least-cost approach" to stemming carbon emissions.
"The best way to make sure the cheapest, cleanest technologies and abatement techniques are chosen is to let them compete against each other in a market with a clear target for reducing greenhouse gases," said ESA chief Brad Page.
Chairman's AGM Address to Shareholders
Fellow shareholders, the last year has been an eventful one for our Company. This time last year we were looking to be producing gold at Cibaliung by today's date. Instead we have had to deal with a number of issues in relation to the Cibaliung project. After the formal part of the meeting is over we will be having a number of presentations on aspects of Cibaliung - what happened of course, but more importantly, where we are now. Any technical questions you may have can be answered by our Chief Operating Officer, Hermani Soeprapto who you may know is a mining engineer of vast experience and until he joined us, was responsible for the huge Grasberg gold and copper mine in Papua. And our chief geologist Brad Wake will be presenting on the real progress we have made on exploration.
We have been working for a number of months to satisfy conditions precedent to drawdown under the terms sheet we entered into with South East Asian Strategic Assets Fund or SEASAF of Singapore. We have addressed a number of the issues and one of them, shareholder approval, is on the notice paper for our meeting today. It is appropriate that we consider and pass this resolution.
Our discussions with SEASAF, their advisors and ours continue on issues such as project economics and particularly in relation to satisfying their internal hurdle rates. These discussions will continue and from the ARX perspective we will press on and seek to satisfy the conditions precedent to drawdown as soon as we can.
The Listing Rules of the Australian Stock Exchange have a one month limit for approvals of the sort to be considered today. If we do not meet that deadline, then we will address the issue at the time. What we can say is that the convertible notes will not be issued within the 7 days contemplated in the explanatory material sent to shareholders.
We are currently reliant upon and remain committed to SEASAF's timely participation to pursue our corporate program at Cibaliung and absent it, or absent it in a timely fashion, we have to consider other approaches and sources of funding.
Whatever the outcome of our discussions with SEASAF, you can be assured that we will press on to seek the best outcome for our stakeholders under all circumstances.
There nothing further I can say on this issue at this time and when there is something to report, shareholders will be informed.
But having made those points, I would like to move on to other issues which while not as important as funding would still be of interest to us here today. And all of what follows as to future plans is dependent upon new funding being secured.
While the presentations will go into more detail, the core issues faced by us at Cibaliung related to the original contractor not advancing the decline at anything like an acceptable rate and then, to compound matters, what had been achieved was nullified when the roof fell in. We have since abandoned that portal. And parted company with the contractor.
And of course we cannot forget that mining booms generate massive demands for labour and equipment. Everything goes up - particularly engineering and construction costs. We have not escaped this.
There is nothing to be gained by seeking to apportion blame on what has gone on before. There are usually many sides to each story. Most importantly I am one to look forward not back other than for us to learn from past errors and seek not to repeat them.
So what have we done? Well as you know we have appointed Mr. Hermani Soeprapto as COO. Hermani comes to us from a 30 year career with the Freeport-MacMoran group. You will hear from him directly later.
We have strengthened the team at Cibaliung by appointing Mr. David Pelchin, a mining engineer of over 25 years experience to take charge of the decline development and contribute his experience to the ongoing operations at Cibaliung. David started with us in April and is full time on site.
We have had extensive discussions with Redpath Mining, a major Canadian tunnelling contractor which does a lot of work at Grasberg to assist in our project. When we get funding for Cibaliung we propose to contract with them to work with us in the development of our new decline. We are employing Drill and Blast as the principal method of proceeding and as you will see later we have had success with it on the work done to date.
The new mining plan has been revised and reviewed by a range of consultants. It sees us access ore earlier than the original plan albeit at lower grades. However, this will enable us to generate some cash and also get our processing plant working to optimal levels.
We have put expenditure on hold in order to conserve cash. This meant demobilizing contractors engaged in the construction of the processing plant. However, if funding is available we can soon get this back underway - it's nearly 85% complete as it stands - and have it operational in time to mill the first ore.
Upon funding being secured, we propose to appoint Redpath to assist us with the decline and we have been strengthening the management team. Our exploration shows promise. Of that, more later.
We still need to secure a CEO. The present situation where the company is run directly by its board and senior management cannot continue indefinitely. We remain actively looking for a suitable person. I stress, we must find the right person for this role to deal with the Company's issues and advance its interests.
So in looking to the year ahead I want to make the following points:
Austindo has many fine assets. The Cibaliung project is largely complete, and our exploration has revealed promising results. We should not forget that. Much has been achieved but it is a fact that we need funding to finish the job.

Drakea 1 Well Exploration Update
ARC Energy Limited advises that the Drakea 1 well, operated by ARC Energy and located in the onshore Perth Basin, has been drilled to a total depth of 3,080 metres measured depth and wireline logs and pressure data have been acquired. The current operations are completion of the wireline logging program.
Preliminary analysis of logging data, including oil recovery from downhole sampling, indicates an oil column of approximately 3 to 5 metres in the upper part of the objective High Cliff Sandstone section, which is approximately 35 metres thick in the well. The joint venture is currently considering a sidetrack of the well to penetrate the High Cliff Sandstone in a more crestal location on the Drakea structure where a more extensive hydrocarbon column may be encountered. This operation is expected to take approximately seven days once the current logging program is completed. - Web Site

EASTERN GOLD MINING RECOMMENCES
Gold production at the Beaconsfield Mine recommenced in early April with the resumption of sill driving and has been gradually ramping up since then. The rate of gold production will now increase further following the completion of the Ore Production (Stoping) Case for Safety for the Eastern Domain, and the subsequent notification received yesterday from Workplace Standards Tasmania rescinding parts of the notices issued in respect of that activity.
Full production is expected to resume once the company receives the Ore Production (Stoping) Case for Safety for the Western Domain. Work is well advanced in this regard.
Stoping comprises the extraction of ore between sill drives and is generally a more productive activity than sill driving. However, the grade of the Eastern Domain is typically lower than for the Western Domain and stoping will need to be undertaken in both areas to achieve full gold production rates. It is expected that stoping in both areas will occur in the September 2007 quarter.
Sufficient quantities of ore have now been mined to re-establish feed to the bacterial leaching circuit in the gold processing plant. The bacteria have responded well in returning to normal operating levels and have displayed no adverse impact from the extended period of dormancy. Oxidised concentrate is now being transferred to the leach circuit and gold is being produced from both gravity and leach sources, with all sections of the plant successfully recommissioned.
Consultation about the Cases for Safety with key stakeholders including the workforce and the Australian Workers Union will be a critical aspect of recommencing stoping. The Cases for Safety (three completed to date with the fourth and last now being finalised) represent a rigorous and comprehensive approach to designing and implementing hazard controls which mitigate risk associated with each discrete mining activity and work practice. Coffey Mining Pty Ltd has been engaged to provide geotechnical expertise and assist management with the preparation of the documentation, whilst Safe Production Solutions Pty Ltd has provided an independent peer review.
Chief Executive Officer, Mr Bill Colvin, said that the resumption of Eastern Stoping would enable gold production rates to increase significantly and was confirmation that the mine was now well advanced towards a full re-opening, with only one Case for Safety remaining to be completed.

RENEGOTIATION OF BEACH PETROLEUM'S FINANCE FACILITIES
Beach Petroleum Ltd (ASX: BPT) has renegotiated its finance facilities with the provision of a $A300 million syndicated term debt facility by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ("CBA") and Societe Generale Australia Branch ("SG") and an associated $A25 million working capital facility by CBA.
The new facility replaces an earlier bridging finance facility established with CBA in relation to the acquisition of Delhi Petroleum in September last year and follows the redemption in recent months of the last of the FIELDS notes previously associated with Delhi Petroleum.
Beach Petroleum acquired Delhi Petroleum last year to gain an average 20.1 per cent working interest in the Cooper Basin petroleum unit operated by Santos Ltd.
The Delhi acquisition has provided a material boost to Beach Petroleum's oil and gas production volumes and the company's revenue.
In addition Beach's participation in the Cooper Oil Program, which is designed to maximize the production and returns from the region, has had a material impact on the company.
In the financial year to date Beach has participated in a total of 31 wells associated with the Cooper Oil Program with an overall success rate of 77 per cent.
Beach has been involved in 5 development wells, 16 appraisal wells and 10 exploration wells in the financial year to date...... - Web Site

Stocks finished largely flat Thursday after a weak reading of the nation's gross domestic product muted Wall Street's enthusiasm over a new spate of acquisitions. However, technology stocks fared better than most.
The Commerce Department's latest estimate of first-quarter GDP was 0.6 percent, lower than the average economist estimate of 0.8 percent and the 1.3 percent the government projected in April. Also, the Commerce Department said construction edged up by 0.1 percent in April, down from a 0.6 percent gain in March but better than economists predicted.
The fact that first-quarter growth has been the most sluggish since the last quarter of 2002, but that the Dow Jones industrial average has nonetheless surged more than 9 percent this year, made some investors pause.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2, on significantly higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
May proved a strong month for the major indexes. The Dow industrials rose 4.3 percent, giving the blue chips a year-to-date gain of 9.3 percent. The S&P 500 gained 3.3 percent in May and is up 7.9 percent for the year. The Nasdaq added 3.2 percent, putting its year-to-date gain at 7.8 percent.
Crude oil futures rose 52 cents to $64.01 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after the U.S. government reported a surprise decrease in crude stockpiles but an increase in gasoline inventories.
Copper futures in New York rose to the highest in more than a week after a gauge of global inventories dwindled to the lowest in seven months.
Gold rose in New York, and silver jumped the most in three months as a decline in the value of the dollar against the euro boosted the appeal of precious metals as alternative investments. But gold prices still suffered a monthly loss of more than 3% with the U.S. dollar trading higher for the month of May on lower odds of a rate cut in the U.S.

Chairman's Address - AGM 2007
I would like to welcome you here at the Company's Melbourne laboratory to our 10th annual general meeting. While the 2006 year's activities are well summarized in the annual report, there have been some pleasing developments during the early part of 2007.
The mining right for the Kareevlei Wes project was granted at the end of the March quarter, marking the successful outcome of many years of preliminary exploration and assessment, followed by lodging the formal application for the mining right some two years ago. During the application period, Wolf and our South Africa based people (including Craig Bailey, Leon Daniels, Adrian Horwitz and our Seven Falls partner, Thabo Makweya) remained in touch with the Department of Minerals and Energy, clarifying the terms of the application as required.
Tawana is now constructing its 30 tonnes per hour dense media separation plant at Kareevlei Wes, and has called tenders for undertaking the trial mining program. If the results of this trial confirm the economics indicated during the exploration phase, Tawana could be a diamond producer by year's end.
In May this year Tawana announced that it had been granted a prospecting licence over a cluster of eight kimberlites in north-east Botswana. This project is in the Orapa kimberlite field, some 25 km from the DeBeers Orapa diamond mine. While these kimberlites were identified some 30-40 years ago, only one has so far been tested for diamonds. Our immediate program is to confirm the dimensions of each kimberlite using modern ground based geophysics, followed by drilling and trenching to establish diamond grade and tenor. We expect drilling will commence in the September quarter.
Back in South Africa, we expect to commence a sampling program at the Riverton Kimberlite in the September quarter........ - Web Site

HIGH-GRADE GOLD RESULTS - CEB ‘A'
The Board of Integra Mining Limited (Integra) is pleased to announce shallow high- grade gold results from RC drilling at the Cock-Eyed Bob Anomaly ‘A' Prospect (CEB ‘A') located approximately 200 metres south of the Cock-Eyed Bob gold deposit in the Company's 100%-owned Randalls Project, 60km east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
Significant results from the recently completed RC drilling include:
These recent RC drilling results are in addition to historic RC drilling results from the CEB ‘A' area including:
Gold mineralisation from the CEB ‘A' area is not included in Integra's current Mineral Resources estimate and the Company is confident that a relatively small number of additional drill holes will be sufficient for a Mineral Resources estimate to be completed for the CEB ‘A' area.
In addition to the RC drill rig currently operating at the Salt Creek gold discovery, a second RC drill rig is expected on-site shortly and will follow-up these results with additional drilling. - Web Site
ADDITIONAL GOLD RESULTS - SALT CREEK
The Board of Integra Mining Limited (Integra) is pleased to announce additional results from the first phase of RC drilling at the Company's exciting gold discovery at the Salt Creek Prospect. The Salt Creek Prospect is located in the Company's 100%-owned Randalls Project, 60km east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Gold mineralisation remains open to the northwest, southeast and at depth.
While the Company completed a total of 13 shallow RC drill holes in the first phase of RC drilling at the Salt Creek Prospect, results from the first seven drill holes were released in an ASX announcement on 3 May and these current results relate to the final 6 RC drill holes and include:

Base case valuation update - Commodity price
The Company has received a number of queries regarding the commodity price forecasts used by Mirabaud Securities to calculate the "Base Case Valuation" of 35.4 pence per share in its recently published research report on Leyshon.
When current metal prices are applied to the Mirabaud model the "Base Case Valuation" increases to over 53.4 pence per share on a fully funded and fully diluted basis.
In the report Mirabaud used US$550 per ounce for gold, US$8 per ounce for silver and US$1,375 per tonne for zinc. Current metal prices are US$650 per ounce for gold, US$13.50 per ounce for silver and US$3,600 per tonne for zinc which are higher by 26%, 70% and 162% respectively than the forecasts used by Mirabaud.
The Company notes that Mirabaud has subsequently revised upwards its near term zinc price forecasts with "the potential for prices to rise in the short-to-medium term to US$4,500/t." - Web Site

Northwest is pleased to announce Northwest's follow-up drilling at the Blue Spec East prospect has confirmed the presence of a mineralised shoot position within development distance from Northwest's high-grade Blue Spec deposit.
The results of the programme also indicate that the mineralised shoot position at Blue Spec East has not been fully tested to the west (towards Blue Spec) or at depth. Northwest believes further testing of the prospect is warranted as any nearby resource potential which can be developed in conjunction with the Blue Spec deposit will contribute strongly to the Blue Spec project's economics... - Web Site

Drilling Report (Juha 4ST1 Kutubu 2) 31 May 2007
WELL NAME: Juha 4ST1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 31 May 2007, the Juha 4ST1 well was at a depth of 1,292 metres and drilling ahead in a 14-3/4" hole. Progress for the week was 325 metres.
Juha 4ST1 is located 35 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. Juha 4 is designed to test a separate segment on the structure to the east of the existing wells. It follows on from the Juha 5 well which was drilled in the same segment as the earlier wells.
Juha 4 is targeting the Toro reservoir at a depth of around 2,240 metres subsea, 3,200 metres measured depth (MD). The planned total depth of the well is 3,340 metres MD.
WELL NAME: Kutubu 2
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 31 May 2007, the Kutubu 2 well was at a depth of 1,766 metres, and preparing to set a cement plug in the 4" hole to control ongoing losses. Progress for the week was 16 metres.
During the week, the 6" hole was logged, and a 5" liner was run to 1,750 metres, cemented, and pressure tested. Drilling progress was limited, due to ongoing losses requiring controlled drilling, and attempted hole remediation.
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 at a depth of around 490 metres subsea, 1,775 metres measured depth (MD) with a secondary target in the Iagifu Sandstone. The planned total depth of the well is 2,300 metres MD.

Al Magrabah-1 is located in Block 35, onshore Yemen, approximately 55 kilometres north east of the Nabrajah field. The primary target is the Qishn Clastics with secondary targets in the fractured/karstified Saar and Naifa formations, Kuhlan sandstone/Weathered Basement, and fractured metamorphic basement. The planned total depth of the well is 3,039 metres MD.
WELL NAME: Rana-1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Egypt time (+2 hrs GMT) on 30 May, the Rana-1 well was at a depth of 2,545 metres and drilling ahead in a 12-1/4" hole. Progress for the week was 204 metres.

Epithermal Gold - new Joint Venture in Panama
Golden Cross Resources (GCR) is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent with Bellhaven Copper & Gold, Inc. (Bellhaven), a Panama-based, TSX-V-listed company, for entry into the Los Hatillos epithermal gold properties in central Panama. The properties contain several zones of high grade, gold-bearing epithermal veins and breccias that are at an early stage of exploration and have not been adequately tested by previous drilling. GCR's geological team believes that these mineralised systems can be rapidly tested by drilling and that extensions and buried deposits could be located by Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical surveys.
The Los Hatillos areas are easily accessible; less than four hours drive from Panama City and within 40 km of the Pan-American Highway and the large town of Santiago in central Panama. A network of sealed and unsealed roads provide excellent access to and within the properties. The region has moderate topography, comprises wooded to cleared grassland and contains small subsistence farms. Exploration is possible on a year-round basis. Los Hatillos comprises a 4,901.18 hectare granted Concession covering two zones in the Central portion of the Veraguas Gold Belt. The joint venture also includes the Calobre Concession Application (2,502 ha), intended to cover extensions to the east of the Los Hatillos vein systems.
GCR is committed to an up-front payment of US$25,000 and a first-year expenditure commitment of US$250,000. These funds will cover the initial drilling required, site works, sampling and an induced polarisation (IP) survey. GCR may earn a 70% interest in the properties by spending US$3,500,000 within 5 years and making annual cash payments totalling US$500,000 according to the following schedule:.... - Web Site
GCR Acquires Option over Panama Exploration Database
Golden Cross Resources has been granted an exclusive option by MapIntec Technologies Inc, a private Panamanian company, to acquire a large exploration database covering most of Panama. This unique database comprises geophysical, geochemical, geological and structural survey data, including airborne magnetic and radiometric data, over the survey area shown in the attached figure. The database represents years of work by various companies and the United Nations and is not readily available elsewhere.
On receipt of the data, GCR has 5 months to decide whether to purchase the database. Option fees of up to US$60,000 are deductible from the purchase price. The purchase price is US$170,000 for non-exclusive purchase of the database, or US$270,000 for exclusive purchase of airborne geophysical surveys over central Panama, and nonexclusive purchase of the remainder of the database.
GCR will grant MapIntec a 10% interest, free carried to decision to mine, in any interest GCR or its affiliate obtains in a mining tenement within the survey area, excluding the Veraguas Gold Belt, where GCR has entered into a joint venture with Bellhaven Copper & Gold Inc.... - Web Site

Scoping Study Breakthrough - Prairie Downs Zinc Project
Prairie Downs Metals Limited has received the results of scoping studies for the Prairie Downs Zinc Project. The real breakthrough from these studies is that mining of Main and East Lode is considered to be economically feasible by mechanised underground methods. The most cost effective mining method is top down long hole open stoping, the proposed mine plan for these lodes is shown below.
The advantages of an underground operation are: ease of high grading, particularly at the start of operations; improved scheduling; lower operating costs; shorter lead time to production; cost effective mining of high grade zones.
An underground operation would have a much smaller environmental footprint and much lower energy consumption than an equivalent open cut operation.
The big economic benefit is high grade production in the first two years of operations. The first year's production from Main and East Lodes would grade 11% zinc, declining to 8% in the second year.
In this regard Zed Lode is an exciting proposition. It is typically higher grade and of greater width, and as the last release shows, has the potential to host ultra high grade zinc mineralisation. This provides the opportunity for rapid payback of capital costs.
Capital costs for mining, processing and infrastructure are currently estimated at $55 million for a 250,000tpa operation. Infrastructure costs are modest because of the project's location near Newman, all weather road access, and a nearby gas pipeline.
Processing is straightforward, with the main operating costs being personnel and power. The process plant can be shut down and restarted over a very short time frame and as a consequence provides the opportunity for running the plant on a five day week. This in turn allows for considerable savings in both capital and operating costs.
Energy costs and consumption can be minimised through the use of gas to generate electricity and through underground mining. Transport comprises shipping concentrate to Port Hedland by truck and then by sea, probably to an Asian destination.
There are no marketing issues for the zinc concentrate, which is expected to be suitable for the majority of, if not all, smelters in the region.
Production and sale of lead concentrate has been a secondary issue to date because of the low lead content of Main Lode. However, Zed Lode does have significant lead values accompanying zinc and therefore lead may represent a major value-add for the project.
The only long lead time item for construction is a ball mill and the Company is currently investigating alternatives for financing the early purchase of a mill.
Prairie Downs Metals is also evaluating the merits of a near-term exploratory decline. The objective would be to reduce both mining and processing risk to facilitate project finance. Because mineralisation is close to surface the proposed decline would be cost effective and able to be completed over a short time frame.
Further investigation of the results and ramifications of the scoping studies is continuing.

Red Sky commits $1 million to Great Artesian's Drilling Program
Red Sky Energy Limited (ASX:ROG) has committed to fund up to three exploration wells in Great Artesian Oil and Gas Limited's (ASX:GOG) areas in the Cooper Basin, South Australia, with drilling expected to take place in the second half of 2007.
Red Sky, which successfully listed on the ASX last week, has deposited $1million with Great Artesian toward the drilling program. Red Sky will fund up to 100% of an exploratory well in Great Artesian's PEL 106 area to earn up to a 50% interest in any discovery.
Red Sky also has the option to drill two more wells in the Red Sky Block in PEL 91 by funding Great Artesian's 60% interest to earn a 30% interest in any discovery .
Red Sky has nominated its first choice of well location as Petrouska-1, approximately 15 km northeast of the Middleton-1 gas condensate discovery, and 20 km north of the Raven gas field. Petrouska was identified as a result of 2D and Red Sky's airborne microseep studies..... - Web Site

Wall Street rose Wednesday, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 index to its first record close in more than seven years, as investors grew more confident that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates in the second half of 2007. The Dow Jones industrials also reached a new high close.
The S&P 500, considered by traders as the best barometer of U.S. stocks, surpassed the record of 1,527.46, set March 24, 2000, at the peak of the dot-com boom, closing at 1,530.23, up 12.12, or 0.80 percent. The S&P 500 remains below its all-time trading high of 1,552.87, also reached in March 2000.
The index of 500 of the nation's biggest companies was powered by investors' relief over the minutes from the Fed's May 9 meeting of its Open Market Committee. The central bankers called inflation "uncomfortably high," a stance that made it less likely that the Fed would act to cut interest rates.
However, analysts said the Fed indicated in the minutes that the economy will continue to accelerate -- and that raised the possibility that the Fed hasn't ruled out lowering rates.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1, on increased volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Stocks spent most of the morning session in negative territory after the earlier drop in China's markets stunted U.S. investors. But, Wall Street's rebound showed investor confidence that the latest drop in China's markets would not trigger a global sell off as it did in February. Beijing tripled a tax on stock trading to cool the country's market boom, causing the main Shanghai Composite Index to fall 6.5 percent.
Crude-oil futures edged higher as traders awaited data on U.S. petroleum supplies due Thursday.
Copper snapped two days of gains in London on speculation Chinese government efforts to damp the nation's booming stock market will slow economic growth and demand for industrial metals.
Lead rose to a record.
Among other LME-traded metals, nickel, aluminum and zinc fell.
Gold futures closed lower Wednesday to log their first loss in three sessions as traders fretted about the potential for a slowdown in Chinese demand after that nation tripled taxes on stock trades.
Silver was little changed.

PETSEC ENERGY LTD TO DEREGISTER FROM THE SEC
Petsec Energy Ltd (ASX, PSA; ADR's, PSJEY.PK)
Petsec Energy Ltd intends to terminate the registration of its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and its duty to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the United States.
On March 27, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued final rules that will make it easier for foreign companies, such as Petsec, to terminate their SEC registration. These rules will come into effect on June 4 2007. Petsec will seek to deregister from the SEC when those rules become effective.
Petsec has been an SEC registered company since 1996 when it first initiated an ADR programme. Petsec's ADRs (1 ADR represents 5 underlying Petsec shares) currently trade on the Pink Sheets under the code PSJEY.PK and over the past year have contributed around 3% of overall turnover in Petsec stock.
Deregistration is not expected to have any impact on the trading of Petsec's ADRs in the USA but will substantially reduce administrative burdens and costs associated with the US compliance regime. - Web Site

Wall Street eked out a modest gain Tuesday as investors, wary about the upcoming release of the Federal Reserve minutes, bought cautiously amid a series of new takeover deals and upbeat consumer confidence figures. The Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 108.0 in May, up from a revised 106.3 in April and above the average analyst estimate. Also, the Dallas and Chicago Federal Reserves both reported expansions in regional manufacturing activity.
But the housing sector looked weak after the Standard & Poor's housing index indicated that U.S. home prices declined 1.4 percent in the first quarter compared to a year ago, the first time since 1991 that prices posted a quarterly drop.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by almost 2 to 1, on slightly higher volume, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Oil prices fell by more than $2 a barrel Tuesday on hopes that the inauguration of a new president in OPEC member Nigeria would contribute to a stable supply from the Niger Delta region. A formal meeting over the weekend between U.S. and Iranian officials also soothed traders' concerns about a potential conflict between the two countries.
Copper was little changed in New York, paring earlier losses after a report showed U.S. consumer confidence rose faster than forecast in May, signaling potentially stronger demand for the metal.
China's imports of refined copper and alloys more than doubled in the first four months of 2007, compared with the same period last year, according to customs data released on May 25. That raised concerns it may take time for the country to absorb rising stockpiles of the metal.
Gold and silver prices in New York rose for the second session in a row after a gain in the value of the euro against the dollar boosted the appeal of the precious metals as alternative investments.

IRON ORE INTERSECTIONS INDICATE BROAD ZONES OF MAGNETITE AND HEMATITE AT MUNGADA
Gindalbie Metals (ASX code: GBG) is pleased to announce that further Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling undertaken at the Blue Hills North (BH2) deposit, part of its Mungada Hematite Project in Western Australia, has identified further iron ore mineralisation below the existing hematite resource. The results indicate that this new zone has the potential to produce either direct shipping hematite ore or DR (Direct Reduction) grade magnetite concentrate.
The drilling is part of an ongoing hematite exploration and resource development program focused on the Mungada Ridge area.
Indicative intersections from the recent deeper drilling at Blue Hills North are shown in Table 1:....
The results indicate that the deeper mineralisation at Blue Hills North is characterised by exceptional magnetic properties and magnesium-carbonate alteration, resulting in ore that grades on average over 50% Fe with a reduced silica content but elevated levels of magnesium, calcium and phosphorous...... - Web Site

MAJOR EXTENSION TO CARNILYA HILL NICKEL MINERALISATION
Step-out Drill Hole Intersects High Tenor Massive Sulphides 200m Beyond Current Resource
Kambalda nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) has identified the potential for a major extension to its 70%-owned Carnilya Hill nickel deposit in Western Australia after intersecting massive sulphides grading over 17% nickel down-plunge of the existing deposit.
The new result comes as Mincor moves towards a development decision at Carnilya Hill, expected within the next four weeks, as part of its aggressive nickel growth strategy in the Kambalda region.
Mincor said today (Tuesday) that it had completed a 792.4-metre deep diamond drill hole on a major step-out position at Carnilya Hill, with the new hole intersecting a narrow zone of very high tenor massive sulphide mineralisation some 230 metres beyond the limits of the current mineral resource.
The result indicates a major extension to the mineralised channel structure at Carnilya Hill, with the new intersection located 280 metres down-plunge of the last substantial intersection (2.79 metres @ 8.61% nickel in CMD028W1) in the mineralised channel. Recently completed down-hole electromagnetics indicate the presence of a strong inhole/ off-hole EM anomaly centred below the new intersection and extending both up-plunge and down-plunge to the east and west.
The new hole (CMD026) intersected 3.11 metres @ 3.66% nickel, from 698.74 metres down-hole. This includes 0.36 metres @ 17.55% nickel from 698.74 metres down-hole, followed by 1.47 metres of unmineralised ultramafic rock and then 1.28 metres @ 1.64% nickel from 700.57 metres. All intersections are close to true width...... - Web Site

Major Extension to Carnilya Hill Nickel Mineralisation
Outstanding results from the current drilling program at View Resources Ltd's (ASX: VRE) Carnilya Hill Nickel Project Joint Venture (JV) has opened up the possibility for a major resource increase. The latest drill-hole has intersected massive sulphides grading over 17% nickel.
This latest hole is 280m down-plunge of the last substantial intersection and 230m beyond the limits of current mineralisation on the known resource of 328,440 tonnes @ 4.9% nickel for 16,100 tonnes of contained nickel metal.
The results come as the JV moves towards a development decision at Carnilya Hill within the next four weeks. Tenders for the underground mining have been received and will be compared to a possible owner mining operation. The JV is still targeting an early next quarter start.
With this latest intersect at just over 600m vertical depth and no exploration beyond, Carnilya Hill remains one of the most under-explored Kambalda nickel tenements and remains an extremely exciting prospect for the JV. Drilling has already commenced to follow up this result.....- Web Site

Significant Resource Found at BrightStar Zeta
Recent drilling and geological review of previous data at A1 Minerals 100% owned BrightStar Zeta prospect has found a significant resource of 287,460 ounces.
The resource is made up of two components; a high grade component consisting of 77,300tonnes @ 6.5g/t; and additionally there is a low grade component of 7.3million tonnes averaging 1.1g/t for 270,000 ounces.
The low grade component is an Inferred resource and appears as broad gold mineralised zones up to 200 metres in width occurring contiguously over much of the 7 kilometre strike length of the tenement. Gold mineralisation controls are northerly striking structural contacts most specifically found where there is a competency contrast between rock types such as diorite, basalt or ultramafic rocks. The majority of gold mineralisation identified to date appears in saprolitic oxide which was drilled on average to 80metre depths. The resource is highly encouraging for further potential at depth.
The high grade component is an Indicated resource and a direct down dip extension of mined high grade ore underneath the very high grade 20 metre deep Anchor Pit which produced a reported 29,000t @ 25.8g/t in 2001. Drilling indicates there is potential for additional high grade deposits along strike. For example 500m to the north of the Anchor Pit there is a drill intercept of 8m @ 45g/t; and 2 kilometres to the south of the Anchor Pit is a drill intercept of 6m @ 35.6g/t. Further drilling could possibly extend these high grades.
We are assessing the likely positive impact of this new high grade resource on the BrightStar feasibility study currently underway.
The Zeta prospect is only 2 kilometres south of the recently reported 1+ million ounce Moolart Well deposit owned by Regis Resources Ltd.
Geological studies will continue at Zeta as a priority.
A1 is currently compiling an updated global resource statement which includes further resource increases at BrightStar Epsilon and Eta to be released shortly. - Web Site

Spectacular Drill Core - Prairie Downs Zinc Project
Diamond drilling of the Zed Lode has returned some spectacular intersections. The table below shows visually recorded zinc and lead mineralisation from diamond drill hole PDD 180, also shown in the accompanying photographs. There are a number of other core intersections that are as good as or better than PDD 180.
The principal ore mineral of zinc is sphalerite, which grades from 38% to 67% zinc depending upon its composition. Metallurgical testwork on Prairie Downs sphalerite shows it is low in iron and has a typical zinc content of 55%. The principal ore mineral of lead is galena, which characteristically grades around 85% lead.
The values for sphalerite and galena in the table below are visual estimates. The values for zinc and lead have been factored from these estimates using the factors above; i.e. 0.55 for zinc and 0.85 for lead. Assay results have not yet been received for PDD 180........ - Web Site

CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING MAY 2007
......The year 2006 has generally been a good year for Icon energy but the share price and drilling activity has been delayed. Your Board has now moved to take back control of the drilling of Stitch No. 1 and has commenced negotiations to obtain a drilling rig contract. The Managing Director will report in more detail in his address. The share price has generally been double that of the previous year but the price still does not reflect the underlying asset value. The recent drop in the share price we believe has been the result of the failure of Santos to fulfill their drilling obligations where Santos committed to drill Stitch No.1.
Drilling activity has been delayed through new government regulations and shortages of drilling equipment. Some of these problems are being solved slowly and it is anticipated that drilling should commence in the second half of 2007.
Stitch No. 1 was originally scheduled to be drilled in April 2006 but this was delayed until August because the Environmental Authority license could not be obtained from the Environmental Agency (EPA) until August by which time the drilling rig slot was taken. Santos advised that the earliest time for drilling Stitch was January 2007 but this slipped further Santos advises that they have withdrawn from the Farmin Agreement for ATP626P. We are currently organizing a rig for drilling Stitch No. 1.
In Louisiana, Australian Mineral Interests No.1 was drilled at Bayou Choctaw and placed on production from the upper zone of the first objective. The most promising lower zone was penetrated but was lost when pressures encountered at 8,500 feet could not be controlled due to mechanical problems with the drilling pumps. .
The rig, chosen by CLK, could not do the job required and negotiations are taking place with another Operator to redrill the well to the lower zone and conduct the rest of the initial drilling programme of three wells. Bayou Choctaw was to be our prime area of drilling and production but we are now concentrating on Australian operations.
During the year a tender for PEL 218 in South Australia was submitted but the area was awarded to Adelaide Energy. Subsequently, negotiations were conducted with Adelaide Energy to farmin to the shallow stratigraphic section which was the prime target of our tender for the same area. Several tenders were made for areas in Queensland and Icon was successful in being the preferred tenderer in ATP 849P centred around the town of Mitchell, west of Roma and ATP 855P in Southwestern Queensland. These acquisitions were central to maintaining diversity in our acreage portfolio.
Icon's bid to add a Production Sharing Contract in Indonesia was not successful after the market meltdown following the one day 10 % drop in the Chinese Stock Market in February 2007. A placement organised for this purpose was cancelled and monies raised returned to the investors where requested. Oil and gas prices remain firm with oil hovering around $US 60 per barrel and gas in the USA at $US7.00 per MCF. These prices will continue to fluctuate from day to day and be very sensitive to world politics but prices are unlikely to come down until significant new oil comes on stream over the next few years.
Icon sadly reported the death of our Company Secretary, Mr. John Cummins, on 23rd of December 2006. John joined Icon in 1997 when the company floated on the Australian Stock Exchange. The staff of Icon and his family sadly misses John's skills, experience and friendship. We are pleased to report the appointment of Dr. Ray McNamara, Professor at the Business School at Bond University, as a Director of the company and Company Secretary. His appointment is a part time position in an executive capacity.
The recent announcement about an opportunity to invest in the biofuel diesel market is not taking priority over Icon's core business. PetroSun brought this opportunity to Icon and that company had decided to pursue this technology in the US markets. It has delayed its investment in new drilling rigs including the rig we have started on in Australia. Any investment in biofuels will not be undertaken lightly but its appears that a unique opportunity might be available to Icon in this area. I must emphasise that this is not a short term project as the pilot plant is presently under construction in Florida and will not be proven before the end of this year. The Managing Director will report further on this in his address.
We are seeking new finance to complete the construction of a new drilling rig but have not concluded the financial arrangements as yet. Our negotiations are centred on debt finance at present. Icon has never before sought debt finance in its exploratory operations but the investment in a drilling rig with a marketable value beyond its construction cost would represent a suitable debt proposition.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to commend the staff of Icon in adding value to the company during the year and the prospect of drilling of up to 12 wells over the next 18 months......

DRILLING COMMENCES AT GWABE PROSPECT, KARIBA VALLEY ZAMBIA
African Energy confirms it has commenced its 2007 exploration drilling program at its high priority Gwabe uranium prospect over the weekend. This new purpose built RC drill rig will be dedicated solely to the Company's exploration programs for the 2007 and 2008 field seasons in Zambia. The drilling at Gwabe is expected to run for 6-8 weeks, with the rig then scheduled to undertake a resource definition program at the Njame North project, followed by drilling at the company's other high priority uranium prospects at Chisebuka and Namakande. Initial assay results from the program that has now commenced at Gwabe are estimated to be available for release to the market in 4-6 weeks.
The drill targets at Gwabe, Chisebuka and Namakande are the Company's main focus for new projects in the 2007 exploration program, and were generated through the analysis of historical geological data, together with results of the radiometric anomalies generated by the December 2006 airborne survey... - Web Site

DRILLING ACTIVITY UPDATE: OFFSHORE PERTH BASIN EXPLORATION DRILLING - PERSEVERANCE-1
Roc Oil (WA) Pty Limited advises that, as of 0600 hrs Australian Western Standard Time on 28 May 2007, an extensive wireline evaluation programme had been completed at the Perseverance-1 exploration well and the well has been plugged and abandoned as a gas discovery.
Preliminary interpretation of drilling, wireline and pressure data indicates that the well intersected gas saturated sand over a gross interval of 31 metres within which there are 28 metres of net gas reservoir. The gas accumulation is at the top of the objective Permian section, interpreted as being equivalent to the Dongara Sandstone and possibly the upper Irwin River Coal Measures. Reservoir quality appears to be poor to moderate.
The Perseverance discovery is located in WA-325-P in the offshore Perth Basin, approximately 33 km west of Geraldton. The structure has a maximum vertical relief of approximately 80 metres and is apparently gas-filled. Initial calculations for the accumulation suggest in-place gas in the range of 20 - 50 BCF.
The forward programme for the Premium "Wilcraft" rig is to start drilling the final well in the three well programme, Dunsborough-1 in WA-286-P, approximately 50 km southeast of Perseverance-1 and 25 km northwest of Frankland-1, later this week. - Web Site

Strong 3km long gold anomaly identified in Ashanti Belt
Castle Minerals Limited (ASX:CDT) is pleased to announce that the first ever exploration on the Comapny's Akoko Project has identified a strong 3km long soil anomaly in the Ashanti Belt.
The Akoko project is located in Ghana's Ashanti gold belt and is adjacent to Adamus Resources 1.2Moz Salman Gold Deposit.
Soil sampling on 400m line spacing has outlined a robust and well defined anomaly along the western contact of an internal granite. Significantly, the anomaly widens to over 500m width at the intersection of the granite contact and a major north east trending cross structure. This intersection point is considered highly prospective.
Infill sampling will commence shortly with drilling proposed to commence following those results - Web Site

Drilling Activity Update: Offshore Perth Basin Exploration Drilling - Perserverance-1
Roc Oil (WA) Pty Limited advises that, as of 0600 hrs Australian Western Standard Time on 28 May 2007, an extensive wireline evaluation programme had been completed at the Perseverance-1 exploration well and the well has been plugged and abandoned as a gas discovery.
Preliminary interpretation of drilling, wireline and pressure data indicates that the well intersected gas saturated sand over a gross interval of 31 metres within which there are 28 metres of net gas reservoir. The gas accumulation is at the top of the objective Permian section, interpreted as being equivalent to the Dongara Sandstone and possibly the upper Irwin River Coal Measures. Reservoir quality appears to be poor to moderate.
The Perseverance discovery is located in WA-325-P in the offshore Perth Basin, approximately 33 km west of Geraldton. The structure has a maximum vertical relief of approximately 80 metres and is apparently gas-filled. Initial calculations for the accumulation suggest in-place gas in the range of 20 - 50 BCF.
The forward programme for the Premium "Wilcraft" rig is to start drilling the final well in the three well programme, Dunsborough-1 in WA-286-P, approximately 50 km southeast of Perseverance-1 and 25 km northwest of Frankland-1, later this week. - Web Site

Essential Petroleum Wins Bid for PEP 168 in the Otway Basin
Essential Petroleum Resources Limited (ASX: EPR) has accepted the offer of a major new onshore exploration permit, PEP 168, in the Port Campbell gas province in the Otway Basin.
EPR (operator) with a 50% equity share and its joint venture partner, Inland Oil Resources Pty Ltd (IOR) 50%, intend to drill the first of several proposed wells as early as the third quarter of 2007.
At least two wells will be drilled in the first three year term of the permit with one more well required in the last two years of the five year life of the permit.
PEP168 is a highly prospective permit covering the onshore part of the Pecten High trend which hosts in excess of 400 bcf reported gas reserves in Waarre reservoir sands in the offshore Casino, Henry, Martha and Halladale fields.
PEP 168 surrounds and adjoins onshore gas fields which have produced more than 100 bcf of gas from highly productive Waarre reservoir sands. Gas fields in the Port Campbell Embayment region include the McIntee, Naylor, North Paaratte and Iona fields.
This is the first time the permit has been offered by the Victorian Government since the initial discoveries were made in the early 1990's...... - Web Site
