WALL STREET

Stocks barreled higher Friday after the Federal Reserve did what Wall Street was clamoring for and cut its key discount rate a half percentage point. The move quelled investors' credit worries at least for the time being and sent the Dow Jones industrials up about 230 points.
The Fed -- which had resisted lowering rates despite weeks of market volatility, and instead added nearly $120 billion in liquidity into the banking system -- cut its discount rate to 5.75 percent from 6.25 percent. The central bank acknowledged that the stock market turbulence that has pulled the Dow down by hundreds of points a day was posing a risk to economic growth.

But the central bank made no mention of lowering its target for the federal funds rate, which has stood at 5.25 percent for more than a year. The fed funds rate determines the rates that banks charge each other, while the discount rate only covers loans the Fed makes to banks. Many strategists believe the market won't settle down until the Fed lowers the fed funds rate target, considered a more significant benchmark.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 7 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 5.01 billion shares, down from a record 6.13 billion Thursday.

The Dow Jones industrial average ended the week down 160.46, or 1.21 percent, at 13,079.08. The Standard & Poor's 500 index finished down 7.70, or 0.53 percent, at 1,445.94. The Nasdaq composite index ended down 39.86, or 1.57, at 2,505.03.

Energy futures rose Friday, rebounding from a big drop a day earlier as some new forecasts said Hurricane Dean will turn into the central Gulf of Mexico and threaten oil and gas installations. The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut and a fire at a big Chevron Corp. refinery in Mississippi also supported energy prices.

Copper rose, ending a three-day slump, after the U.S. Federal Reserve cut its discount rate, easing concerns economic growth and metal demand will slow. Most other metals also rose.

Tin was supported after the world's largest integrated tin miner, Indonesia's PT Timah Tbk, said it had halted sales until the price goes back above US$15,000.

Gold and silver rebounded in New York after the Federal Reserve reduced its discount rate, sending the US dollar lower and increasing the investment allure of precious metals.

PORGERA SALE COMPLETION AND CAPITAL RETURN UPDATE

Emperor Mines Limited reports the completion of the sale of the Company's 20% interest in the Porgera Joint Venture to Barrick Gold Corporation for a cash consideration of US$255 million.

Emperor Mines Chief Executive Officer, Brad Gordon, said today that the completion of the sale meant that Emperor had now paid out its debt facilities in full, and was well placed to pursue growth opportunities.

"As of today, the Company has retired all of its debt facilities, and has, as previously announced, closed out all forward gold hedging, leaving the company debt and hedge free and with free cash in excess of A$125 million."

"Our significant net cash position following the completion of this transaction provides us with considerable flexibility in harnessing growth options and to pursue select opportunities identified over recent months," Mr Gordon said.

The completion of the Porgera transaction allows Emperor to now undertake a proposed capital return to shareholders of 5c for every ordinary share held, which was approved by shareholders at a General Meeting conducted on 30 July. Subsequent to the completion of the Capital Return, the Company anticipates holding a net cash position in excess of A$70 million....... - Web Site

TAP OIL

UPDATE ON FLETCHER-1 EXPLORATION WELL - CARNARVON BASIN

Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") provides the following update on the Fletcher-1 well which spudded on 24 July 2007.

Location

The Fletcher-1 well is located in exploration permit WA-191-P in the Carnarvon Basin of Western Australia, 15 kilometres east of the Mutineer oil production facilities.

Progress

Analysis of wire-line logs has confirmed an 8m oil column and good quality oil samples have been recovered to surface. The JV is now preparing to side track the well up dip of the present well location.

Tap Comment

Fletcher-1 was drilled targeting oil in structural closure in Cretaceous or Jurassic aged sandstones. Wire line logs have confirmed the presence of an 8m oil column compared to a pre-drill predicted column of around 20-30 metres. At this stage, the size of this accumulation is unclear and the purpose of the sidetrack well is to help delineate the size of the oil pool to the north of this well. Tap is further encouraged by the additional possible prospectivity elsewhere along this oil charged anticlinal trend. - Web Site

MINERALS CORP

AUSTRALIAN CHINA CLAYS (ACC) FLOAT TIMETABLE NOVEMBER 2007 & UPDATE

The development pace of our emerging clay business has quickened significantly in recent months with a number high volume users indicating their forward delivery requirements for various calcined and hydrous products.

We fully recognize that shareholders have been waiting a long time for the commercialization of this business and indeed our production team have been frustrated at having a large plant ready to go but for the past two years but have been focused on many small runs of customer samples and, more recently, initial sales runs. By contrast, our Marketing group has been enthusiastically forecasting a broadly based emerging demand for sales for some months and this is now clearly in evidence. New monthly sales delivery requests are running at over 1,000 tpm and are forecast to rise substantially later this year based upon customer letters of intent and forward orders. We now have over 80 active customers and a further 220 in the pipeline at various stages of commencing orders or product approvals. Last year, we commenced with smaller sized new customers whereas we now have a growing segment of major volume users beginning to convert to our products.

As previously announced, we have merged our clay projects in Queensland, (Skardon River superfine particle clays), Western Australia, (coarse high brightness clays), and China, (high brightness calcined clays), into a single focused integrated China Clay business, (AUSTRALIAN CHINA CLAYS plc), which has a good mix of product offerings supported by an experienced international sales agency network. Our planned London float of ACC is now tracked for mid November 2007 which is per our detailed broker timetable. We selected London as this market is readily conversant with the China Clay business and the UK historically has been a leading exporter of these products.

Post float, Minerals Corporation will continue to be the dominant shareholder of ACC. The other mineral projects in the MSC Group which both have high value potential are:

  1. Bellfield Copper / Uranium (Queensland) This project is a potentially major exploration initiative in the Mount Isa mineralization province, (50% equity interest).
  2. Eucla Basin Heavy Mineral Sands (South Australia) This project is emerging as a major new HM and Zircon rich area. (25% equity interest with additional 10% equity options and we partner with Diatreme Resources Limited (DRX) who is the Operator).

WALL STREET

Wall Street pulled off a dramatic late-session turnaround to close mixed Thursday after bargain hunters lured by weeks of massive declines came back to the stock market. The Dow Jones industrials, down more than 340 points in afternoon trading, ended the day with a loss of just 15.

The market appeared to be on an almost relentless downward spiral after problems at Countrywide Financial Corp. confirmed investors' fears that credit problems are spreading. Moreover, for much of the day, investors shrugged off the Federal Reserve's injection of $17 billion into the banking system, and appeared to be angling for a rate cut instead.

Bonds continued their rally as investors fled to safer securities. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dropped to 4.66 percent from 4.72 percent late Wednesday.

Advancing issues outpaced decliners by a 2 to 1 basis on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a record 6.13 billion shares, up from 4.31 billion Wednesday.

Light, sweet crude fell $2.33 to $71 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, giving back Wednesday's gains as storms brewing in the Caribbean didn't appear to pose a threat to energy operations. Analysts believe worries about the economy, and stocks, have also struck fear among oil investors.

Copper tumbled 7 percent in New York after U.S. housing starts fell to a 10-year low and global equities extended a slump, heightening concerns that economic growth will slow.

Silver in New York plunged 8.4 percent, and gold dropped the most since October as a rout in global equity markets prompted investors to sell precious metals to raise cash.

AWE's Tui Area Oil Project opened by New Zealand's Prime Minister Clark and sends first oil shipment to refineries

The Tui Area Oil Project was officially opened by New Zealand's Prime Minister Helen Clark earlier today at a ceremony in New Plymouth.

The ceremony coincided with AWE Ltd completing the first lifting of crude oil from the project.

On Thursday August 16, a cargo of approximately 300,000 barrels of high quality Tui crude was transferred from the Floating Production Storage & Offloading (FPSO) vessel, Umuroa, to the tanker Akama for shipment to refineries in Sydney and Brisbane operated by Caltex Australia.

The Akama has been chartered on a long-term basis and is dedicated to the transportation of Tui crude oil.

AWE Ltd's Tui Area Oil Project, offshore New Zealand's Taranaki coast, started production on July 30, 2007.

Commissioning of the Tui Area production wells and subsea systems has progressed without incident and three of the four wells are now on line, with a combined estimated production capacity in excess of 90,000 bopd. - Web Site

SABODALA GOLD PROJECT FORMAL CONTRACT SIGNED WITH AUSENCO

MDL is pleased to announce that it has awarded an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Management ("EPCM") contract for the Sabodala gold project in Senegal to Ausenco Limited, the global mining and engineering services company.

While MDL has only now executed the Sabodala EPCM contract, the company itself had commenced certain aspects of project construction in March 2007. Preliminary site works such as building of a small dam of some 800,000 cubic metres and all-weather roads were completed late in 2006.

The Sabodala project, costing US$145 million, is expected to start gold processing in September 2008. The critical lead items such as the ball and SAG mills are due to arrive in Senegal by March 2008. The new permanent mine accommodation to house 550 persons on site will be finished in November 2007 and the dedicated power station of 21.6 megawatts has been purchased and is being readied for shipment. - Web Site

BHP Billiton Announces Gas Discovery At Thebe-1 Offshore Australia

BHP Billiton announced today a discovery at the Thebe-1 exploration well that was recently drilled offshore Western Australia. The well and subsequent evaluation confirmed a gas column of approximately 240 feet (73 metres) encountered in the Exmouth Plateau of the Carnarvon Basin.

Drilling of the Thebe-1 well began during the first week of July 2007 in block WA-346-P using the semi-submersible rig Atwood Eagle. The well is located approximately 186 miles (300 kilometres) off the North West coast of Western Australia in water depths of 3,848 feet (1173 metres). The well has now been abandoned after reservoir core was collected. BHP Billiton is the operator at Thebe-1 and holds a 100 percent interest in the field.

"The Thebe discovery is an excellent addition to our global portfolio. The results are encouraging and we will now proceed with further data gathering and evaluation," said Steve O'Rourke, President of Global Exploration for BHP Billiton Petroleum.

Thebe-1 is the second significant BHP Billiton gas discovery in the basin and is located approximately 31 miles (50 kilometres) north of the Scarborough gas field in which BHP Billiton is a 50 percent partner with ExxonMobil. - Web Site

HIGHLIGHTS

Geodynamics continued to gain momentum during the last quarter. The decision to purchase the Lightning drilling rig earlier this year and a successful rights issue have put the Company in a strong position to move ahead rapidly with plans to complete Stage One of its strategy by the end of this year and to prepare for commercial development. The Company appointed a new Managing Director to steer it through this new phase.

Highlights for the quarter include:

GRANGE SECURES SOUTHDOWN MAGNETITE DEPOSIT EXTENSION
Under scrip offer Rio Tinto set to become Grange's largest security-holder

Grange Resources Limited (ASX:GRR) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd to acquire a 100% interest in Rio Tinto's Exploration Licence E70/2512 containing the eastern 6km extension of the Southdown magnetite deposit.

The purchase of the exploration licence will substantially increase the total Southdown magnetite resource available for development.

The consideration for the acquisition is:

The shares and three year options are subject to a voluntary 12 month escrow period and the one year options are subject to a voluntary 10 month escrow period.

The exercise of the options by Rio Tinto would realise approximately A$30 million in exercise proceeds and would take Rio Tinto's interest in Grange to 19.9% on a fully diluted basis on completion of this transaction.

Aeromagnetic surveys and exploration drilling by Rio Tinto on E70/2512 support Grange's view that the Southdown deposit extends for a total of approximately 12kms.

The purchase of E70/2512 will enable the entire deposit to be combined into a single project significantly extending the project life with minimal additional capital expenditure...... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street tumbled again Wednesday after the Federal Reserve added more cash to the banking system but failed to quash investors' jitters about problems in lending.

The Dow is now more than 8 percent below its record close of 14,000.41, reached July 19.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index also dropped sharply, and is now down for the year.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where trading volume came to 4.31 billion shares, up from 3.72 billion shares Tuesday.

Still, the Fed has not indicated that it will free up more cash by making an interest rate cut at its Sept. 18 meeting, a move that many on Wall Street believe could stoke a stock recovery. Inflation has been keeping the central bank from lowering rates; the Labor Department said Wednesday its Consumer Price Index rose a mild 0.1 percent in July, as expected, but energy prices remain high.

Meanwhile, the US housing market outlook remains grim. National Association of Home Builders said its housing market index, which tracks builders' perceptions of current market conditions and expectations for home sales over the next six months, dropped this month to the lowest reading since January 1991. It was the sixth-straight monthly decline.

Crude oil rose 1.3 percent in New York, the biggest gain this month, on concern Tropical Storm Dean may become a hurricane and damage Gulf of Mexico platforms, refineries and pipelines.

Copper fell to a seven-week low in New York on speculation global economic growth may slow, reducing demand for the metal used in wires and pipes.

The uranium spot price fell $5/pound in the past week, to $105/pound, according to Ux Consultants. Ux and TradeTech have both maintained long-term price forecasts at $95/pound. Analysts at RBC Capital Markets believe that the uranium market "will be weak until late-September to early-October....".

In Australia the S&P/ASX200, the blue-chip index, is now down 9.9 per cent from its high of 6422.3 reached on July 24. The All Ordinaries, closed off 181 points at 5801.5, which is 10.14 per cent below its high of July 20.

IMWAUNA DRILLING CONTINUES TO INTERSECT HIGH GRADE GOLD to 87.5g/t over NARROW INTERVALS

Vancouver 15th August 2007. New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) is pleased to report further drill results from its 100% owned Imwauna Project within the Normanby Property in Papua New Guinea.

Results from holes IMH98 to IMH101, above a cut off of 0.5g/t gold, are listed below. The highest result was 87.5g/t over a relatively narrow interval of 0.1m within a wider zone of 0.55m at 19.88g/t gold. The longest interval in the above holes was 5.9m at 4.92g/t gold at about 90m vertical depth in hole IMH101.....

The above holes are fill-in holes in the central part of the Imwauna Vein system between the northern and southern high-grade zones. The results are essentially as expected and prove continuity of the system, albeit over narrower and/or lower grade vein widths.........

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

SUGARLOAF PROJECT
Sugarloaf-1 Well
Aurora Oil & Gas has been advised by the Operator of the Sugarloaf Project (Texas Crude Energy, Inc "TCEI") that testing of the Cretaceous aged carbonate zone in the Sugarloaf-1 well is now expected to commence by the last week of this month due to a delay with the availability of the frac and testing equipment required to undertake this next well operation.
The Operator has also confirmed that the rig to drill the next well "Kennedy-1H" (designated Sugarloaf-2 in our previous release) on the Sugarloaf Joint Venture leases has now been secured and construction of the drill site has commenced. A contract has been signed for the same rig that successfully drilled Sugarloaf-1 and which has adequate capacity to drill this next well. As previously announced, Kennedy-1H is designed to be drilled as a vertical well to a depth of approximately 12,000 feet at which point the well will be kicked off to drill a 5,000 feet horizontal section into the upper zone of the Cretaceous aged carbonate reservoir. On a trouble free basis, Kennedy-1H is expected to take approximately 45 days to be drilled and completed, to be followed by fraccing and testing operations if successful. The well is expected to spud by mid September, subject to the timing of the rig's release from the well it is currently drilling.

NORTH BELRIDGE PROJECT
NB 26-2H Well
The Operator TCEI, has advised that as planned they have attempted to frac the Malibu 26-2H through the ported subs in the 4-1/2" casing. The frac service company encountered mechanical issues the result of which was that it was not possible to achieve the planned fracture stimulation with the pumping equipment configuration onsite. An election was then made to shut down for two - three weeks to evaluate options and make the changes necessary to give the best chance for a successful frac. This further operational delay is disappointing. We will advise shareholders as soon as we have a recommendation for proceeding and a new frac date scheduled. - Web Site

LAKES OIL

ALBERTON-1 WELL
PEP 158 - ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA

Lakes Oil ("LKO") advises that the Alberton-1 well is at a depth of 258 metres and casing has been set to that depth. Drilling has been curtailed due to the unsuitability of the rig currently being used. Drilltec who are the drilling contractors have a new rig on order and it is planned to use this rig when it is available to complete the Alberton-1 well. It is anticipated to drill the well to a depth of approximately 1,000 metres and the rig will then move to Napier-1 well site. The new rig is expected to arrive in the next 6-8 weeks.

The Alberton-1 well has encountered some 73 net metres of sand and gravel, impregnated with what appears to be bio-degraded oil. As we have already advised, microscopic examination has shown that the sands are coated with a thin oily film surrounding individual quartz grains.

Results of the core and fluids which have been sent to laboratories are inconclusive as fluids of this type have rarely been seen in Australia. Testing is continuing and will be reported to the market when available.

We note with interest the recent announcement made by ExxonMobil that they are planning a comprehensive formation evaluation study to look into the untested deeper basin gas potential under their existing fields in the Gippsland Basin. Lakes Oil congratulates ExxonMobil on their initiative which would be significant for Victoria.

Results that Lakes Oil have encountered onshore Gippsland indicate that there is the potential for both gas and oil at deeper horizons. Recent recovery of mature shale capable of producing both oil and gas in the lower Strzelecki Formation has focused the search for deeper accumulations.

The Lindsey 109A #1R well is drilling ahead at 11,425 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.
The operator is RIM Operating, Inc. of Englewood, Colorado.

Wheal Ellen Drill Programme Underway

Targeting Early Resource Definition

Hillgrove Resources Limited (ASX:HGO) advises that it has commenced a 22 hole, reverse circulation drill programme at Wheal Ellen (Figure 2.) to further define the high grade polymetallic mineralisation intercepted in recent drilling. The potential of the region has been highlighted recently with the development of the high grade Angas polymetallic mine (3.04Mt at 8.0% zinc, 3.1% lead, 34.0g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold and 0.3% copper) at Strathalbyn.
Drilling in June at Wheal Ellen returned some of the widest and highest grade drill intercepts to date with widths and grades comparable with Angas. These results, announced on 25 July, included:.........- Web Site

OIL SEARCH

Drilling Report (Rana-1, Thoub-1, Reeb-1)

WELL NAME: Rana-1, Egypt
Oil Search reports that over the week, the first of four planned Drill Stem Tests in the Rana-1 well was completed. During the main flow period the well flowed 39.5 deg. API oil with negligible water and a GOR of 1,044 standard cubic feet per barrel from the Kharita formation, at a stabilised rate of 538 bopd on a very small (16/64") choke. Three more zones will be tested based on cased hole log evaluation that indicates further potential oil bearing intervals in the Bahariya formation.
Currently, fishing operations are underway which has delayed the next test.
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 third successive discovery of oil in the highly prospective East Ras Qattara block and the strong flow rate from the Kharita formation represents the third productive horizon identified in the area.

WELL NAME: Thoub-1, Yemen
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+2 hrs GMT) on 15 August, the Thoub-1 well in Block 43 in Yemen was at a depth of 1,225 metres and drilling ahead in a 12-1/4" hole. Progress for the week was 225 metres.
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.

WELL NAME: Reeb-1, Yemen
Oil Search reports that the Reeb-1 well in Block 35 in Yemen commenced drilling on 10 August 2007. As at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+2 hrs GMT) on 15 August, the well was at a depth of 564 metres and drilling ahead in a 17-1/2" hole.
Reeb-1 is located approximately 35 kilometres east of the Al Magrabah-1 well. The primary target is the Qishn Clastics with secondary targets in the fractured/karstified Saar and Naifa formations, Kuhlan sandstone and weathered/fractured metamorphic basement.
The prognosed total depth of the well is approximately 3,200 metres.- Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street pulled back sharply Tuesday as investors worried about fundamental economic problems as well as the ongoing fallout from credit market problems and stocks' own volatility. The downturn in stocks was first triggered by a report from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that profit will fall below expectations this year as consumers rein in spending. Home Depot Inc., the world's biggest home improvement chain, added to the slide when it said weakness in the housing market caused quarterly profit to slide.
Confirmation that Sentinel Management Group Inc., which oversees $1.6 billion in assets, is seeking to halt investor redemptions exacerbated the selling. Other funds are said to have similar problems as they face withdrawal demands at a time it has become difficult to value low-quality debt.

Declining issues outpaced advancers by a 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.72 billion shares, up from 3.54 billion on Monday.

Crude oil rose in New York for a third day on concern that two storms may damage production platforms and pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico.

Copper in New York fell for the fourth time in five sessions on concern that demand for the metal will decline as economic growth slows.

Gold and silver fell in New York after the dollar gained against the euro, reducing the appeal of precious metals as alternative investments.

New Gold Zone at Tanque Belo - Grade Correction

The Company wishes to advise that the correct results for the recent drillhole TBB029 at Tanque Belo should be: 40 m @ 1.10 g/t, from 10 m to end of hole, including an end-of-hole interval of 10 m @ 3.97 g/t.

The original announcement incorrectly reported 40 m @ 0.55 g/t.

This intercept occurs 500 m to the west of the initial intercept of 16 m @ 0.48 g/t in hole TBB023 reported on 23 July 2007. A third intercept, also previously reported, in hole TBB025 (8 m @ 178 ppb Au) occurs between the two indicating the presence of multiple mineralised structures over a considerable width. Hole TBB029 intersected oxidised ferruginous pelite without evidence of quartz veining. ......... - Web Site

EMU LAKE A POTENTIAL HIGH-GRADE NICKEL IPO

Image Resources is pleased to announce that the vendor of the Emu Lake joint venture has agreed to sell its residual 10% interest to the remaining joint venturers, increasing Image's interest to 33â…“%. Under the revised terms of the joint venture, Image's interest will be free carried until Jubilee Mines NL subsidiary, Sir Samuel Mines NL, sole contributes a further $3.25 million at the rate of at least $1 million per year or, failing that, withdraws. The consideration for the sale is the sum of $750,000, with Image's share of $250,000 to be payable as to $100,000 in cash and the remainder in Image shares, plus an increase in the vendor's royalty to 1.75%.

The Emu Lake nickel project is situated 70 km north east of Kalgoorlie and about 30km east of the high-grade Silver Swan nickel mine. Drilling has identified significant nickel sulphide mineralisation over a strike length of more than 300m, open at depth, on an ultramafic contact. To date, ten high-grade drill intersections have been made at grades of between 3%-10% Ni with best intersections of 2m @ 6.2% Ni, 1.8% Cu and 2.2g/t PGE (platinum group elements) from 336.0m and 2m @ 2.0% Ni, 1.0% Cu and 4.2g/t PGE from 343.5m in drill hole ELD15. The revised terms of the joint venture are anticipated to result in a reinvigorated drilling programme to test for depth extensions to the high-grade contact mineralisation which may to be similar to the nearby Silver Swan mine where high-grade nickel mineralisation has been traced to depths of more than 1500m below surface....... - Web Site

Key Points

Antares Energy is pleased to announce that Outlar-1, the first well on the West Wharton project, spud at 11:30 local time on 12 August 2007, and is currently drilling ahead at a depth of 1,536 feet. This well is prognosed to drill to a depth of 11,500 feet to test a Cook Mountain objective in Wharton County, Texas.

Antares has a 30% working interest in this project. If successful this project has the potential for 6-10 follow up wells. Project potential is between 40-80 BCF (Billion cubic feet) and 1.2 – 2.4 million barrels of oil.

Antares' minimum financial commitment is anticipated to be approximately USD 1.3 million on a dry hole basis and USD 1.6 million completed, which includes a proportional payment of back costs and a carry for the operator, CICO, through the drilling and completion of the first well. Antares' working interest will reduce to 26.25% upon first sales. The drilling rig is contracted on a fixed cost "turn key" basis which helps limit the exposure to cost over runs. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street gave up a moderate gain in late trading and closed marginally lower Monday after the Federal Reserve and other central banks added more cash to their banking systems, helping investors set aside some concerns about credit tightness. The New York Fed, which carries out the central bank's market operation, minutes after the opening bell announced $2 billion in overnight repurchase agreements. Monday's injection, however, was smaller than normal, perhaps reassuring some investors that the central bank doesn't yet feel the need to pump more liquidity into the market.

Investors appeared pleased with the Commerce Department's report that retail sales edged up 0.3 percent in July, slightly ahead of market expectations.

Advancing issues was about even with decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.54 billion shares, compared to 5.11 billion on Friday.

Copper in New York rose from a two- month low after global equities rallied, easing concerns that economic growth may slow and reduce metals demand.

Gold futures finished an uneventful trading session with a slight loss Monday, as the rising US dollar squeezed demand for the precious metal.

NEW GUINEA GOLD

SINIVIT DRILLING RECORDS FURTHER GOLD RESULTS TO 89.8g/t

New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") reports that further drilling within and adjacent to the resource at Sinivit continues to define both good gold grades and continuity to the mineralisation. Eighty one holes have now been completed.

In addition to gold, several holes intersected significant copper, such as 2m at 1.68% copper in hole 56; 4m at 1.8% copper in hole 60; 2m at 2.62% copper in hole 66; 6m at 2.68% in hole 72. These copper intersections contain 0.6 to 13g/t gold but the higher gold grades generally contain only low copper (less than 100ppm). The significance of the copper for the longer term future of the Sinivit mine will not be confirmed until deeper drilling is completed.

The highlights of the gold intersections are shown below with all results and hole data in Tables 1 and 2.....

Mr Bob McNeil CEO of NGG commented: "These results are as expected and continue to confirm both the grade and continuity to the gold mineralisation at Sinivit. Some of the holes were drilled to define the boundary of the gold mineralisation and were not expected to contain significant gold. The significant copper may prove a substantial bonus in the future if or when mining proceeds to mine and process the gold sulphide mineralisation at depth. In the short term high grade copper mineralisation of up to 6m at 2.68%copper and 3.03g/t gold will be stockpiled. Further drill results are expected in the near future. The Sinivit mine continues as planned with good gold leaching from Vat 1C. The next, larger, vat will commence processing in the near future. "

The Canning Basin exploration program ARC's up

ARC announced on Monday 13 August the spudding of the Valentine-1 exploration well near Derby in northwest Australia's Kimberly region. Valentine-1 marks the start of a major oil and gas exploration program in one of the most under-explored Palaeozoic aged basins in the world - the Canning Basin.

ARC has rapidly established holdings in excess of 75,000 square kilometres in the Canning Basin, giving it by far the largest acreage position in the Basin. ARC's holdings include a wide variety of geological play types, with more than 30 prospects and leads already identified with very significant potential for substantial quantities of both oil and gas.

ARC's interest in the Basin was sparked by its similarities to other Palaeozoic basins around the world where prolific reserves of oil and gas have been discovered. Furthermore, the factors that had previously made exploration in the Basin difficult have now been largely overcome. ARC is now initiating the re-evaluation of the Basin with the spudding of Valentine- 1.

The Valentine-1 well is targeting a large gas-condensate prospect. It is the culmination of the last 12 months of work by ARC to establish its commanding acreage position in the Canning Basin, review and re-evaluate massive volumes of geological and geophysical data, identify a series of high quality prospects and put in place the logistics for the start of a major exploration program..... - Web Site

CONRAD SILVER PROJECT:
DRILLING AT KING CONRAD TO BE EXTENDED AS LODE INTERSECTIONS CONTINUE

HIGHLIGHTS

This extension of the drilling program at King Conrad will mean that the initial estimation of resources in this part of the Conrad mine (originally scheduled for September) will be delayed until around the end of October.

As the Conrad Project is moving ahead so positively a consulting mining engineer has been engaged to undertake a conceptual economic modeling study, with the objectives of:

  1. determining the minimum resource/reserve base required to support a viable mine,
  2. estimating possible operating and capital costs, and
  3. providing an indicative picture of potential project economics.

In addition, metallurgical studies of lode material in drill core are being undertaken in parallel by another consultant, with the aim of assessing the likely metal recoveries and concentrate characteristics.....- Web Site

MOUNT BURGESS

Kihabe Zinc Project, Botswana
Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 100%

COMMENCEMENT OF DRILLING

Drilling has commenced on the Company's Kihabe zinc project in north western Botswana, using a multi-purpose RC/diamond core rig.

The aims of this drilling programme are as follows:

  1. To twin selected previously drilled RC holes with diamond core, to verify the potential increase in grade obtained from diamond core drilling compared with RC drill grades which were used in the initial resource calculation;
  2. To extend the initial resource both along strike and at depth;
  3. To in-fill drill between existing sections, with particular emphasis on verifying the continuity of higher grade zones within the resource;
  4. To expand the structural understanding of the resource; and
  5. To drill test four other regional targets of known zinc, lead, silver, copper and vanadium mineralisation.
By using a multi-purpose drill rig, RC pre-collars can be drilled through unmineralised sections, thus saving time and costs for diamond drilling.

Results from this programme will be released to the market as they become available.

Exploration Update - Parkinson Dam

NEW PARKINSON DAM DRILLING TARGETS AREA NEAR HIGH-GRADE GOLD INTERSECTION

The potential for South Australia to host its first gold mine from epithermal1 style mineralisation has moved a step closer under a new exploration programme announced today by Tasman Resources NL (ASX code "TAS").

The Company said today that it had commenced a 5 hole diamond core drilling program around its "best ever" PD 63 hole at Tasman's 100%-owned Parkinson Dam epithermal gold-silver project, 60 kilometres west of Port Augusta in South Australia (see Figure 1).

PD 63 in June intersected an assayed zone of high grade gold-silver mineralisation, averaging 21m downhole at 21g/t Au and 83g/t Ag; including 9m at 31g/t Au and 152g/t Ag, during an eight hole reverse circulation and diamond core drilling program. Full details of the results are available in previous Tasman ASX releases at www.tasmanresources.com.au.

The intersection is the best so far recorded at Parkinson Dam since the first discovery of outcropping gold-bearing veins by Tasman two years ago. The intercept in PD 63 represents a new, previously unrecognised, and likely steeply-dipping style of epithermal veining and is in addition to an already defined, high-priority, mineralised area within Parkinson Dam covering over two and a half square kilometres.

The new drill programme announced today will initially focus on the largely untested area immediately surrounding PD 63 to determine the thickness, width and geometry of the mineralisation within PD 63. Additional holes, further away from PD 63, are also being planned.

Any new mineralised intersections within close proximity to PD 63 will have important implications for further discoveries of this new style of high grade gold-silver over the whole of the Parkinson Dam project area.

New Zealand Oil & Gas Limited ("NZOG") reports that at 0600 hours on 14 August 2007, the Hector-1 well was being plugged and abandoned at a total measured depth of 3,825 metres.

After completion of operations at Hector-1, the Ocean Patriot rig will be moved to drill the Taranui-1 well in PMP 38158. NZOG estimates the Taranui Prospect to potentially have an estimated 15 million barrels of recoverable oil. A discovery at Taranui-1 would most likely be fast-tracked for development through the existing Tui area FPSO and facilities. - Web Site
