Wall Street closed out a difficult week with a mixed finish Friday after the Federal Reserve injected billions of dollars into the banking system to calm markets torn by worries about evaporating credit. The Dow Jones industrials, down more than 200 points during the session, ended with just a 31-point deficit and managed to post a gain for the week.
The stock market, which has been gyrating for weeks over fears that credit is drying up, pared its losses after the Fed's injections of cash and following morning comments from the central bank that it would do all it can to "facilitate the orderly functioning of financial markets." The steep declines seen at times during the session and persistent volatility, however, showed the depths of fear that had some investors yanking money out of stocks.
The Fed added $19 billion in liquidity to the market Friday morning, then another $16 billion and, finally, $3 billion.
Federal Reserve policy makers "are trying to do everything they can short of cutting the federal funds rate" to try to calm the markets, said Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research in Great Neck, N.Y.
But, he said, "I think they probably have to cut rates, and probably before their scheduled September meeting."
He noted that it was Fed rate cuts that calmed the market after the 1998 Russian debt crisis and the implosion of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 5 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 5.11 billion shares compared with a heavy 5.76 billion shares traded Thursday.
All three indexes still finished higher for the week: The Dow rose 0.44 percent, the S&P advanced 1.44 percent and the Nasdaq added 1.34 percent. Sharp gains such as the Dow's 287-point climb Monday, left stocks better able to weather Thursday's plunge.
Equities also tumbled in Europe and Asia for a second day. Central banks around the world added about $132.7 billion to the global financial system to help meet demand for cash.
Crude oil was slightly lower - at a five-week low - in New York on concern a global economic slowdown may cut fuel demand.
Copper and other base metals in London fell overnight on continuing speculative liquidation on further steep falls in global equities due to signs the sub-prime problems are widening, said analysts there. Technical momentum accelerated the selling.
In the US industrial metals trimmed earlier losses on Friday, tracking U.S equities, which almost recovered from the morning's plunge after the U.S. Federal Reserve injected money into the banking system, analysts said.
Gold and silver rose in New York as investors sought a safe haven from potential losses tied to the U.S. subprime-mortgage collapse.

ALINTA HALF YEAR PROFIT
Alinta today announced a profit attributable to members of $96.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2007. The result represents a 20% increase over the reported profit for the corresponding prior period and a 15% increase in the result from underlying operations.
Alinta Acting CEO, Mr Peter Magarry said, "Alinta has maintained excellent operating performance throughout the last six months, despite the heightened corporate activity around the company sale process.
"Our EBITDA, which is the best proxy for operating performance, has shown a 165% increase over 2006, largely due to the successful AGL transaction completed in late 2006 and the reacquisition of Alinta Infrastructure Holdings (AIH).
"We have had a transitional financing structure in place, with AIH fully debt funded for the entire six months. Prior to the announcement of the potential MBO in January we had flagged to the market that our capital structure was under review. That process has however been superseded by the company sale process and ultimately the recommended bid from Babcock & Brown and Singapore Power.".....- Web Site

Taranaki Drilling Update
Pan Pacific Petroleum NL advises that the Hector-1 well was drilled to final depth without encountering anything other than minor hydrocarbon shows. Information over the perceived reservoir intervals is being obtained for future reference via wireline logs, after which the well will be plugged and abandoned as a dry hole.
The Ocean Bounty semi-submersible drilling unit will then re-locate to the Taranui prospect within the area of the Tui PML38158, drilling of which is likely to commence around 16 August. - Web Site

High grade Zinc and Lead assays interesected at Admiral Bay
Kagara Zinc Ltd is pleased to announce that ABRD001, the first diamond drill hole completed by Kagara at the Admiral Bay zinc lead silver deposit, has returned high grade assay results of 8.3% zinc and 4.9% lead over a 20 metre interval from 1,321 metres to 1,341 metres. This interval, which approximates a true width, includes a very high grade 6 metre interval from 1,326 metres grading 18.5% zinc and 5.4% lead. Assays for silver and barium are awaited.
This width of mineralisation is similar to adjacent holes SS2, which encountered 19 metres at 4.1 % zinc and 4.3 % lead and SSI5 which assayed 4.1 % zinc and 3.1 % lead over a 19 metre interval, but the grades are very much higher. SS2 and SS15 are holes previously drilled by Rio Tinto Exploration and are located approximately 300 metres to the east and west of ABRD001 respectively.
The second hole, ABRD003 is currently in progress. - Web Site

Wall Street's deepening fears about a spreading credit crunch sent stocks plunging again Thursday, with the Dow Jones industrials extending their series of triple-digit swings and falling more than 380 points. The catalyst for the market's latest skid: a French bank's announcement that it was freezing three funds that invested in U.S. subprime mortgages.
A move by the European Central Bank to provide more cash to money markets intensified Wall Street's angst. Although the bank's loan of more than $130 billion in overnight funds to banks at a low rate of 4 percent was intended to calm investors, Wall Street saw it as confirmation of the credit markets' problems. It was the ECB's biggest injection ever.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 4 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a heavy 5.76 billion shares compared with 5.3 billion shares traded Wednesday.
Bonds rose sharply Thursday as investors again sought the relative safety of Treasurys, pushing down the yield on the benchmark 10-year note to 4.79 percent from 4.89 percent late Wednesday.
Crude oil fell to its lowest close in more than a month on concern reduced U.S. economic expansion will cut fuel demand at a time of higher-than-normal supplies.
Copper in New York fell to a six- week low as global inventories rose to the highest since June, bolstering speculation that demand for the metal may be slowing.
Nickel fell to a 10-month low in London as stockpiles of the metal used in stainless steel extended gains, prompting speculation there will be an oversupply. Lead and other industrial metals also declined.
Gold in New York fell the most in two months as some investors sold the precious metal for cash to cover losses related to the U.S. subprime-mortgage collapse. Silver also declined.

Drilling Report (Juha 4ST1, Rana-1, Thoub-1) 9 August 2007
WELL NAME: Juha 4ST1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 on 9 August 2007 the abandonment of the Juha 4ST1 well was underway, with the rig expected to be released shortly.
During the week, the final logs were run over the Toro reservoir section, confirming the interpretation of a 9 metre gas column, as previously reported.
This will be the final drilling report for the Juha 4 well.
WELL NAME: Rana-1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Egypt time (+2 hrs GMT) on 8 August, the first out of four planned Drill Stem Tests in the Rana-1 well was in progress.
During initial clean-up, the well flowed 39.5 deg API oil with a Gas to Oil ratio of 1,170 standard cubic feet per barrel from the Kharita formation, at a rate of 850 barrels per day on a 24/64" choke. The main flow test is currently underway. Three more zones will be tested based on cased hole log evaluation that indicates several potential oil bearing intervals in the Bahariya and Kharita formations.
Rana-1 is located in the East Ras Qattara concession, Western Desert, Egypt, approximately 12 kilometres south-east of the recently drilled Ghard-1 discovery. Rana-1 is Oil Search's third well in an extended drilling programme in the East Ras Qattara block in 2007.
WELL NAME: Thoub-1
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+2 hrs GMT) on 8 August, the Thoub-1 well in Block 43 in Yemen was at a depth of 1,000 metres and drilling ahead in a 17-3/4" hole.
Thoub-1 is located approximately 8 kilometres east of the Nabrajah field.
The well is targeting a tilted fault block at the primary Qishn Clastics objectives and four-way dip closure at the secondary targets in the fractured/karstified Saar and Nayfa formations.
The prognosed total depth of the well is 3,300 metres.- Web Site

WILPINNIE - 4 TOMCAT PROSPECT UPDATE
Impress Energy provides the following update on the testing program at Wilpinnie-4/Tomcat.
Cased hole production testing has now been concluded at Wilpinnie-4 (Tomcat Prospect). The results of the testing have produced drilling mud filtrate, formation water and 16 barrels of oil. The reason for the production of formation water is unknown at this stage.
Analyses of the test results is underway to understand the discrepancy between the cased hole testing, core and wireline data, and the oil recoveries during drilling.
Commenting on the result Impress Energy CEO Eddy Buckovic said: "We are analysing the data from the cased hole production testing and reviewing the drilling data. The results differ from the expectation following the drilling of Wiplinnie-4 in January 2007. A review of all the data will now be undertaken to determine the remaining prospectivity in this region and the appropriate forward plan"

ADVENT ENERGY PEL 104 TYPHOON BLOCK AND PEL 111 CATALINA BLOCK
FARMOUT AGREEMENTS
Impress Energy is pleased to announce that Advent Energy has signed a Letter Agreement to farm into the PEL 104 Typhoon Block and PEL 111 Catalina Block.
Under the Letter Agreement Advent can earn up to a 50% stake in the permit blocks in return for drilling four exploration wells. The two areas are part of the Permian Oil and Gas fairway that hosts the Fly Lake and Tirrawarra oil and gas fields. Immediately to the south along trend are the numerous gas discoveries made by the PEL 106 Joint Venture.
Advent Energy Limited is a company backed by the ASX listed pooled development fund MEC Resources (ASX: MMR).
MEC Resources included in its board of directors Mr Seng Yap, ex Manager of Daiwa Securities Australia and Mr Hock Goh, ex President of Schlumberger Asia.

PEL 115 PRODUCTION TESTING & EXPLORATION UPDATE, COOPER BASIN, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Victoria Petroleum N.L. advises that cased hole production testing operations have been completed at Wilpinnie-4 by the operator Santos Limited and the work over rig released.
During the past 14 days, the production test of the interpreted oil bearing mid Jurassic Namur sandstone oil zone over the gross 9.8 metre interval from 1,482.5 - 1,492.3 metres resulted in the recovery of 16 barrels of oil and 561 barrels of drilling mud filtrate and formation water.
Preliminary analysis of the production test results indicate that the 24 barrels of oil and no water recovered on open hole drill stem test may have been flush oil production from a residual oil column. Based on this analysis it is concluded that Wilpinnie-4 will not be a commercial oil well.
It is also considered most likely based on the results of Wilpinnie-4 production testing that the up dip Tomcat Prospect would encounter a similar possible residual oil column and thus will not be an immediate drilling target for the PEL 115 Joint Venture in the northern part of PEL 115.
Exploration drilling focus in PEL 115 will now move to the southern part of PEL 115 with the drilling of the Lancer and Fury prospects to commence in 2-3 weeks time.
Commenting on the cased hole production tests of Wilpinnie-4, John Kopcheff, managing director of Victoria Petroleum NL said:
"Victoria Petroleum is disappointed that a commercial oil flow was not able to be obtained from the cased hole testing operations given the very positive open hole test oil recovery."
"The possibility that the oil encountered is residual confirms our belief that significant quantities of oil have migrated up dip through the northern part of the permit. Although the Tomcat Prospect is now not an immediate drilling target, we will continue to search for prospects to drill in the northern part of PEL 115."
"The exploration drilling in PEL 115 will now continue with the planned drilling of the Lancer and Fury prospects some 6 kilometres north of the oil producing Mirage Oil Field. The drilling rig is anticipated to be on location in late August 2007" - Web Site

During the past 14 days, the production test of the interpreted oil bearing mid Jurassic Namur sandstone oil zone over the gross 9.8 metre interval from 1,482.5 - 1,492.3 metres resulted in the recovery of 16 barrels of oil and 561 barrels of drilling mud filtrate and formation water.
Preliminary analysis of the production test results indicate that the 24 barrels of oil and no water recovered on open hole drill stem test may have been flush oil production from a residual oil column. Based on this analysis it is concluded that Wilpinnie-4 will not be a commercial oil well.
It is also considered most likely based on the results of Wilpinnie-4 production testing that the up dip Tomcat Prospect would encounter a similar possible residual oil column and thus will not be an immediate drilling target for the PEL 115 Joint Venture in the northern part of PEL 115.
Exploration drilling focus in PEL 115 will now move to the southern part of PEL 115 with the drilling of the Lancer and Fury prospects to commence in 2-3 weeks time.
Commenting on the cased hole production tests of Wilpinnie-4, John Kopcheff, managing director of Victoria Petroleum NL said:
"Victoria Petroleum is disappointed that a commercial oil flow was not able to be obtained from the cased hole testing operations given the very positive open hole test oil recovery."
"The possibility that the oil encountered is residual confirms our belief that significant quantities of oil have migrated up dip through the northern part of the permit. Although the Tomcat Prospect is now not an immediate drilling target, we will continue to search for prospects to drill in the northern part of PEL 115."
"The exploration drilling in PEL 115 will now continue with the planned drilling of the Lancer and Fury prospects some 6 kilometres north of the oil producing Mirage Oil Field. The drilling rig is anticipated to be on location in late August 2007" - Web Site

Lindsey 109A # 1R, Dawson County, Texas (FAR 4.64%)
Drilling ahead at 9,510 feet.
The Lindsey 109A #1R well is drilling ahead at 9,510 feet after running 8 5/8" casing to 4,755 feet. The well is targeting the Siluro-Devonian formation using Basic Energy Rig 32.
The well has a planned total depth of 12,300 feet.
The well is effectively a re-drill of the original discovery well in which FAR was a participant. The discovery well was drilled in 1997 and came on line at 186 barrels of oil per day before ceasing prematurely due to down hole mechanical issues. The operator is estimating 270,000 barrels of oil in total recoverable reserves for this location.- Web Site

Stocks surged Wednesday as solid results in the technology arena and renewed demand for risky debt soothed investors a day after the Federal Reserve said the economy should keep expanding. However, a late-day plunge and recovery revealed investors' underlying unease over how problems in lending might hurt corporate America, despite the Fed's assurances.
The financial and homebuilding sectors -- big losers in recent weeks -- saw large gains Wednesday, as investors saw value in these pummeled stocks.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 8 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to a heavy 5.30 billion shares, up from 4.71 billion shares Tuesday.
Bonds fell as stocks rose, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note spiking to 4.89 percent from 4.77 percent on Tuesday. Investors exited government securities after the Fed's statement dashed hopes of a rate cut, and on rumors that Asian governments would get rid of some of their U.S. assets.
Crude oil fell in New York, reversing earlier gains, after a report showed declining U.S. gasoline consumption.
Copper snapped two days of gains in London after stockpiles jumped the most in 19 months, boosting availability of the metal used in plumbing and power cables. Nickel, lead and other industrial metals also dropped.
Gold futures closed higher Wednesday, boosted by a small decline in the US dollar against some major currencies.

Correction to ASX Release on 31 July 2007 (Kirwans (NZ) Tungsten Project Drill Results & Exploration Update)
As a result of using an incorrect conversion factor, we regret to advise that original data reported to the ASX on 31 July 2007 overstated the grade of the assays by approximately 31%. The ASX Release below is in the same format as last week's release, however the grades have been altered to reflect the correct conversion factor of %WO3 = 1.261 x %W. The Company apologises for this error. Despite this downgrade in reported grades, the Company still views these results as providing early indications that Kirwans has the potential to host a high tonnage low grade tungsten resource.

TANZANIA NYUNI RIG UPDATE
Bounty Oil & Gas NL ("Bounty") provides the following update on its forthcoming drilling operations in Tanzania:
As previously announced, the Caroil-6 drilling rig, for which Bounty and partners have a contract to drill two exploration wells on the Nyuni licence offshore Tanzania, experienced delays due to the need for remedial work and upgrading. The Caroil-6 rig is currently on location in the adjoining Songo-Songo gas field working for Pan-African Tanzania Ltd.
Current information is that remedial work to the rig will be completed by mid-August following which it will complete its work at Songo-Songo. It is anticipated that the rig will be delivered to the Nyuni partners in late September and will be ready to spud Kiliwani-1, first of two locations in the current Nyuni programme, in the first half of October.
The operator has commented: "Frustrating as this delay has become, we have used the time well to fine-tune our operational procedures, materials procurement and supporting contracts. The delay is outside our control but we may be confident that the rig, once it has passed inspection, will be in first class operational order".

Sale of Mocambique coal exploration tenements for circa A$60 million to Riversdale Mining Limited
Following a strategic review of its Southern African exploration projects, Aquila Resources Limited ("Aquila" or the "Company") has concluded an agreement to sell all of its Mocambique coal exploration tenements to Riversdale Mining Limited ("Riversdale").
Consideration paid today by Riversdale for the acquisition is comprised of A$26.0 million in cash and 10 million Riversdale fully paid ordinary shares, which based on yesterday's closing price values the transaction at A$59.2 million.
The decision to divest the Moçambique interests was made by Aquila as a result of reprioritising its Southern African activities on the exploration and development of its highly prospective iron ore tenements recently granted to it in the Northern Cape and Limpopo regions of South Africa.
As a result of the completion of this transaction and following the exercise by CVRD of its purchase option to acquire 51% of the Belvedere Coal Underground Project, Aquila will have cash reserves and liquid investments of approximately A$170 million.
As a consequence, the Company is in a strong financial position to advance the development of its coal and iron ore interests in Australia and Southern Africa, in addition to retaining the financial capacity to fund acquisition and expansion opportunities as they arise.......- Web Site

Rio Tinto and Cahya Mata Sarawak sign Heads of agreement for Sarawak smelter
Rio Tinto and Malaysian conglomerate Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad (CMS) today signed a Heads of Agreement for the proposed development of a world class aluminium smelter in the State of Sarawak.
Under the signing of the Heads of Agreement, detailed feasibility studies on the design, engineering, construction, commissioning and operation of an aluminium smelter will commence. The studies will take between 12 to 18 months to complete. They will examine the technical, environmental, operational, social and economic aspects of a smelter development.
The initial participating interests in the project will be 60 per cent
Rio Tinto Aluminium and 40 per cent CMS. The smelter will be known as Sarawak Aluminium Company (SALCO).
The proposed smelter, to be located in Similajau, 60 kilometres from Bintulu town, would have an initial production capacity of 550,000 tonnes per year, with the capability to be expanded to 1.5 million tonnes. First production from the smelter could be expected in the fourth quarter of 2010. It is proposed that electricity for the smelter will come from the Bakun Hydroelectric Dam, which is currently under construction......- Web Site

Wall Street overcame disappointment in the Federal Reserve's failure to move toward an easing of interest rates Tuesday, and stocks made a late-day surge as the decision was seen as a sign the economy wasn't threatened by turmoil in the credit markets. The Fed's Open Market Committee's economic assessment said the central bank's predominant concern "remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected." Wall Street was relieved the Fed didn't consider of bigger concern recent anxiety about how tightening credit standards will affect the economy, which has caused stocks to wobble in the past two weeks.
Wall Street also was pleased by a Labor Department report that indicated productivity of U.S. workers increased last quarter as the economy rebounded, and labor costs began to retreat. Productivity more than doubled from the first quarter.
Advancing issues outpaced decliners 3-to-2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.71 billion shares, down from a very heavy 5.09 billion Monday.
Crude oil rose slightly in New York, following gasoline, after ConocoPhillips reported disruptions at two of its East Coast refineries.
Copper futures in New York rose for the first time in five sessions on concern mine output will lag behind demand for the metal used in pipes and wires.
Lead rose in London on speculation a supply shortage will persist after the proportion of stockpiles reported as ready to be withdrawn jumped to the highest in more than two years. Nickel and zinc also increased.
Gold fell in New York on speculation the euro's rally against the dollar will stall, reducing the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment.

Infill drilling is continuing along the Eastern Structure at Lindsays to add gold ounces and upgrade the status of the resource (Refer: Table Ai, Aii & C; Figure 1). Modeling of the resource will initially be down to a vertical depth of around 100 metres and over a strike distance of 550 metres.
Results achieved to date will further add to Carrick's gold resource inventory recently audited by independent auditors MacKay & Schnellmann. The resource was within 10% of the 3 million gold ounces previously calculated by Tarnwood Pty Ltd. MacKay & Schnellmann used a lower cut-off grade of 0.50g/t Au and a top cut-off grade of 13g/t Au was applied.
When the drill programme is complete a further independent resource calculation will be commissioned as this drilling will lift more tonnes into higher categories.

Brilliant Prospect
A diamond drill hole on the Brilliant Prospect at Kurnalpi intersected a 65 metre width of alteration and gold mineralisation. The hole was designed to penetrate the dolerite host rock and intersect the shallow north plunge of a strong eastern structure in association with quartz veining carbonate alteration and a significant gold mineralised zone. Several R.C. drill holes have intersected the same structure with similar results (Refer: Table Bi, Bii & D; Figure 2).

Exploration Drilling Onshore Angola - Massambala-1
Roc Oil (Cabinda) Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of ROC, advises that as of 0600 hours on 6 August 2007 (local time), the ROC-owned "Explorer" rig had directionally drilled the Massambala-1 exploration well in the Cabinda South Block, onshore Angola, to final Total Depth of 2,192 metres below rotary table ("mBRT") and completed wireline logging. The current operation at the well is preparing to drill a shallow side track hole.
Current interpretation of the results of the drilling and wireline logging programme suggest that:
The forward programme at Massambala-1 is to plug the well back and sidetrack ! in order to core the shallow zone of interest referred to above. This operation is expected to be completed within two weeks.
After drilling operations at Massambala-1 are complete, the rig will move to drill Cevada-1 in the eastern part of the Block.
Consistent with the most recent schedule, the Simmons 80 Rig arrived in Cabinda in late July and is expected to start drilling Soja-1 prior to the end of August.
Commenting on the results of Massambala-1, ROC's CEO, Dr John Doran, stated that:
"Because we are at the beginning of a big drilling campaign, it is essential that we try to nail the exact nature of the shallow oil zone at Massambala-1 as soon as possible because if it proves to! be producible, the upside potential is well worth chasing."..... - Web Site

Wall Street surged higher in a volatile session Monday. Stocks rallied as investors snapped up beaten-down shares of financial companies after a sharp drop at the end of last week on mounting concerns about the stability of the credit markets.
Investors tried to balance their concerns about the availability of credit with hopes that Tuesday's Federal Reserve meeting will be a calming influence after two weeks of frenetic trading on Wall Street. Fed policy makers are widely expected to hold the nation's benchmark rate steady at 5.25 percent.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 6-to-5 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a very heavy 5.09 billion shares, compared with 4.54 billion shares traded Friday.
Crude oil fell more than 4.5 percent in New York, the most in seven months, on concern the U.S. economy will slow, reducing demand at a time of rising fuel supplies.
Copper fell to a five-week low in New York on concern that a slowing economy will reduce demand in the U.S., the world's second-largest consumer of the metal.
Lead fell the most in more than 20 years in London on speculation that mine production will expand later this year, easing a supply shortage. Apex Silver Mines Ltd.'s San Cristobal mine in Bolivia and expansions to Australian mines operated by BHP Billiton Ltd., Teck Cominco Ltd. and Xstrata Plc will boost lead output by the end of 2007, said David Thurtell, an analyst at BNP Paribas.
Zinc also declined.

TORO AND NOVA AGREE TO MERGER PROPOSAL
The Boards of Toro Energy Limited (ASX: TOE) and Nova Energy Limited (ASX: NEL), owned as to 57% and 25% respectively by Oxiana Limited (ASX: OXR), have today announced a recommended merger by way of a scrip takeover offer by Toro for Nova (the "Offer").
The Offer terms are 5.5 Toro shares for each Nova share and, if successful, the merger will result in Oxiana holding about 46% of the merged company on an undiluted basis. Based on the closing trading prices of Toro ($0.80) and Nova ($3.70) on 2 August 2007, the Offer implies a market value for the merged company approaching A$400 million.
When commenting on the merger from an Oxiana perspective, Mr Owen Hegarty (Managing Director and CEO) said:
"Oxiana is supportive of the transaction - it will strengthen our investment in the uranium industry by bringing together two complementary management teams and an excellent portfolio of advanced projects and exploration tenure to create one of the largest Australian listed uranium explorers and developers. Oxiana believes the Australian uranium industry has a strong future and the merger of Toro and Nova has the potential to make an important contribution to the Oxiana Group in the years to come."
The merged company will have three advanced projects in Australia (Lake Way – Centipede, Napperby and Warrior) and extensive exploration positions in Australia (SA, NT and WA) and Africa (Namibia, Morocco and Guinea).
Oxiana intends to accept the Offer for its holding following the expiry or termination of the escrow restrictions on its Nova shareholding (which will occur no later than 23 August 2007), in the absence of a higher offer and subject to its acceptance increasing Toro's relevant interest in Nova shares above 80%....

TOTEM-1 EXPLORATION WELL UPDATE - CARNARVON BASIN
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") provides the following update on the Totem-1 well which spudded on 26 July 2007.
Location
The Totem-1 well is located in exploration permit WA-191-P, approximately 4 kilometres northeast of the Amulet oil discovery.
Progress
As of 6am this morning Totem-1 had reached its planned total depth. The reservoir section had been intersected as prognosed, however preliminary results indicate it is not an oil discovery. Totem-1 will now be plugged and abandoned.
Tap Comment
The Totem-1 well targeted the Calypso Formation reservoir similar to the nearby Amulet field. Although reasonable hydrocarbon shows have been observed in this reservoir in Totem-1, the preliminary analysis suggests if oil is present it is low saturation, and not producible. ...- Web Site

EXPLORATION SUCCESS AT MARINERS, REDROSS, WANNAWAY
Double Massive Sulphide Intersection Confirms Mariners NO9 as Discovery of Major Significance
Kambalda nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) today released the latest results from exploration drilling programs at three of its operating nickel mines. The results indicate potential resource extensions at Redross and Wannaway, and highlight the Mariners NO9 discovery as possibly the most significant new ore body yet discovered by Mincor in the Kambalda District.
Mincor said that the latest results from the Mariners NO9 included a double intersection of massive sulphides in hole MRDH0234, with 2.4 metres @ 7.2% nickel and 3 metres @ 7.2% nickel (all reported as estimated true widths). Significantly, the latter intersection is followed by an adjacent 10 metre-wide zone (true width) of disseminated sulphide mineralisation averaging 0.9% nickel.
The NO9 mineralisation is interpreted to occur in two partially overlapping zones of mineralisation that plunge moderately to the south within the overall north plunging trend. The results confirm the presence of wide, high-grade zones within the mineralisation, with the system strengthening down-plunge to the south, where it remains completely open......- Web Site

"Oxiana is supportive of the transaction - it will strengthen our investment in the uranium industry by bringing together two complementary management teams and an excellent portfolio of advanced projects and exploration tenure to create one of the largest Australian listed uranium explorers and developers. Oxiana believes the Australian uranium industry has a strong future and the merger of Toro and Nova has the potential to make an important contribution to the Oxiana Group in the years to come."
The merged company will have three advanced projects in Australia (Lake Way – Centipede, Napperby and Warrior) and extensive exploration positions in Australia (SA, NT and WA) and Africa (Namibia, Morocco and Guinea).
Oxiana intends to accept the Offer for its holding following the expiry or termination of the escrow restrictions on its Nova shareholding (which will occur no later than 23 August 2007), in the absence of a higher offer and subject to its acceptance increasing Toro's relevant interest in Nova shares above 80%..... - Web Site

QUARTERLY REPORT UPDATE
For the quarter ended 30 June 2007
On 31 July 2007 Felix Resources announced production and sales tonnages for the quarter and the year ended 30 June 2007. In that release the tonnages presented as Felix's share of the 2007 year-to-date consolidated saleable coal production and coal sales were incorrectly stated as 3,456K and 3,473K tonnes respectively. The correct year to date tonnages are saleable coal production of 3,722K tonnes and coal sales of 3,691 tonnes. This misstatement arose in the aggregation of the individual mine tonnages. All other tonnages reported, including those for the quarter, are unchanged.- Web Site

Coyote Gold Project - Increase in Gold Production
The Directors are pleased to advise that the forecast increase in gold production is being achieved at the Coyote Gold Project as Pit 2 deepens.
The mining of Pit 2 is progressing well with a 120 tonne excavator being used to mine waste and a smaller excavator being used to selectively mine ore thereby minimising dilution. With the ore in Pit 2 being near vertical, it is being cleanly excavated by slot mining the ore in advance of waste removal as shown in the photo below. .........With the increased ore grade and high recoveries being achieved in the modified treatment plant, the highest level of gold production to date has been achieved during the past two weeks with 34kgs of bullion being poured. A total of 1,844 fine ounces of gold was produced during July 2007 with increasing gold production forecast as the open pit deepens.......

Arrow Signs Two Agreements in North East China; Near Term Revenue Potential
The Directors of Arrow Energy N.L. ("Arrow") are pleased to announce the signing of two significant agreements in Liaoning Province in north-east China
The first of these agreements is a Heads of Agreement ("HOA") with Shenyang Gas Company, the city gas company supplying gas to the Greater Shenyang area. Shenyang Gas Company has a substantial gas reticulation system in place serving both residential and industrial customers and is currently purchasing LNG to meet strong energy demand growth in the Greater Shenyang area which has a population of over 24 million.
Shenyang Gas has rights to gas from nearby coal acreage owned by Fushun Mining. The Fushun coals are up to 70 metres thick, mid rank, Tertiary age coals with high gas contents. Following completion of technical studies and final agreements, Arrow will drill and complete wells in this field on behalf of Shenyang Gas and receive revenue based on gas produced to surface at global gas market prices.
It is anticipated that Arrow will drill its first well (likely a surface to inseam well) within the next few months. If successful, gas can be sold immediately into Shenyang's gas grid and it is anticipated that a further 4 vertical and 14 horizontal wells would then follow over the next 12 months.
The second of the agreements is a HOA with Liaohe Petroleum Development Company ("LPDC") to evaluate nine blocks in Liaoning Province, covering an area of approximately 9,000 km2 of high potential thick coal ranging from high volatile bituminous to semi anthracite. Arrow will undertake an initial technical evaluation of the project area and following a successful evaluation Arrow will finalise a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with LPDC to develop some or all of these blocks......- Web Site

Direct Shipping Update
The Company is aware of many reports and posts in various forums that claim that the Direct shipping market for nickel laterite ores has ceased, and that Rusina shall not be shipping nickel laterite ores this quarter. The Company strongly disagrees with these reports.
The Company will transport higher grade nickel laterite material (1.5% Ni) from Acoje to the Port through its partner DMCI Holdings and remains on schedule to make its first shipment this quarter.
There continues to be buyers for >1.4% Ni in laterite, though grades lower than this are currently difficult to sell as a result of traders accumulating a large stockpile of low grade material in China. There is still a small premium offered for >1.7% Ni in laterite.
The nickel "pig-iron" market is erratic, with decreased demand from stainless steel producers for lower grade "pig-iron" (4-6% Ni) now that the Nickel price has fallen. There remains a demand for higher grade laterites used for producing higher grade "pig-iron" (>7.5% Ni) and ferronickel (>25%Ni)
As reported in the latest Quarterly report, DMCI has obtained the requisite permits and licences to construct and operate their port in Santa Cruz and construction of the temporary loading facility has commenced. Once this is complete, and inspected by the transhipping contractor, a shipping date and firm sale contract may then be set.......- Web Site
