Wall Street plunged while bonds surged higher Friday after the government reported payrolls in August fell for the first time in four years rather than rising as had been expected.
For the first time in four years, employers have cut jobs, raising new fears that a deep housing slump and a painful credit crunch could push the economy into a recession.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 250 points. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.19 billion shares, up from 2.74 billion on Thursday.
For the week, the Dow Jones industrial average ended down 244.36, or 1.83 percent, at 13,113.38. The Standard & Poor's 500 index finished down 20.44, or 1.39 percent, at 1,453.55. The Nasdaq composite index ended down 30.66, or 1.18 percent, at 2,565.70.
Bonds soared - the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 4.37 percent from 4.51 percent late Thursday.
The US dollar fell sharply following the report, as the likelihood of an interest rate cut appeared to increase. In addition, gold prices rose sharply because some investors would be expected to abandon a weakening dollar and move into gold if the central bank lowers rates.
Copper prices slipped after US employment figures fell for the first time in four years, spooking investors who fear this could be one of the first signs of the recent financial markets turmoil spilling into the broader economy.

ANNUAL REPORT - CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
Dear Shareholders,
The past year has been significant for Impress Energy Limited. With success on the Western Margin Oil Fairway at Growler and Wirraway and continued solid production from the Mirage and Ventura Oil Fields.
This year attention focussed, and was rewarded with exploration success, on the Western Margin of the Cooper Basin in permits PEL 111 and PEL 104. This began with the time consuming, but essential, reprocessing of existing seismic data followed by interpretation, mapping and prospect generation. The first of these prospects, Growler-1 commenced drilling in September 2006 and resulted in an oil discovery in the Lower Birkhead formation. Drilling was scheduled to resume before Christmas but weather, which was to plague us throughout the first half of 2007, delayed our operations. Through hell and high water we persevered and were rewarded with a further oil discovery nearby at Wirraway-1 in PEL 104 and a successful appraisal well at Growler-2. Work is now underway on the Growler Oil Field development where roads, production facilities and wells are being prepared for production.
There is still much work to be done, but the discoveries at Growler and Wirraway, and an exciting prospects and leads inventory give us encouragement that the hard work and faith that we have put into opening up the Western Margin as a potential new oil province in the Cooper Basin will be rewarded and further drilling is scheduled for later in the year and in 2008.
In August 2007 the Joint Venture signed a Letter Agreement with Advent Energy to farm in to parts of PEL 104 and PEL 111 in exchange for fully funding the drilling of up to two wells in each permit. Impress Energy welcomes Advent Energy to the Joint Venture to pursue exploration targets in the Permian oil and gas fairway.
In the Eastern Region the results at Wilpinnie-4 on the Tomcat prospect were disappointing. After encouraging oil shows during drilling, testing produced formation water and a small amount of oil.
The Mirage and Ventura Oil Fields continue their solid production performance. Studies have identified gross recoverable oil of 1.59 million barrels and a field development plan on optimising oil extraction through the use of deviated wells has been presented to the Joint Venture for review.
Over the next year Impress Energy will focus its attention on a number of areas. On the Western Margin the Growler development is underway, and further exploration drilling will be undertaken. In the Eastern Region, continued Mirage and Ventura oil production and extracting value from the prospect inventory will be a priority. While the Cooper Basin is currently our core area, new ventures that will deliver value and reduce risk by broadening our portfolio of assets are an area of high priority for the company. Costs in conducting our exploration and development activities will continue to be closely monitored. ........ - Web Site
VPE: LANCER-1 DRILLING REPORT, PEL 115, SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COOPER BASIN
Victoria Petroleum NL as Operator for the PEL 115 Joint Venture advises that at 0600 hours Central Standard Time today the operation at Lancer-1 after having drilled to a total depth of 2,170 metres was preparing to run wire line logs.

Update to SEC Registration
We have received confirmation from the SEC that the Form 20-F registration statement Samson lodged on July 6, 2007 became effective September 4, 2007. As a result, Samson is now registered as a foreign private issuer under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act. With that registration, Samson is subject to the public reporting requirements of U.S. law for foreign private issuers. This is not expected to be significantly different from the reporting requirements of the ASX, so it is Samson's plan to release future announcements to the American and Australian exchanges at the same time and in substantially the same form.
Samson's shares will not begin trading in the United States, however, until the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") approves the listing of Samson's American Depository Shares, each of which will represent 20 fully paid Ordinary Shares of Samson.
Notwithstanding the effectiveness of its registration, Samson continues to respond to comments from the SEC and AMEX on its Form 20-F registration statement. It is the Company's expectation that all comments will be cleared and AMEX will approve the listing of the ADS in the near future. An announcement of the listing of Samson's American Depositary Shares will be made promptly after receipt of notice from AMEX.
When trading does begin on AMEX, Samson expects to enjoy not only the enhanced liquidity provided by such trading but also the direct access to the United States capital markets that comes with an AMEX listing. - Web Site

Wall Street shook off early uncertainty to close moderately higher Thursday as a series of mixed economic reports managed to make investors more optimistic about the chances for an interest rate cut.
Reports on the job market, service sector, and August retail sales did not disappoint investors. Last week, for the first time in seven weeks, claims for unemployment benefits dropped, the Labor Department said. It also reported that worker productivity jumped to an annual growth rate of 2.6 percent in the April to June quarter, much better than expected.
The credit markets, whose problems caused the volatility on Wall Street over the past month, remain tight. The New York Fed, which carries out the central bank's market operation, injected a total of $31.25 billion through three repurchase agreements Thursday -- the largest amount the Fed has injected in weeks -- to help keep the markets liquid.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to about 2.74 billion shares, down from 2.93 billion on Wednesday.
Crude oil rose to a five-week high after an Energy Department report showed that U.S. oil and gasoline inventories declined more than expected last week.
Copper futures gained, halting a two- day slump, after reports showed most of the U.S. economy expanded more than forecast last month, easing concern a housing slump may lead to slower growth.
Gold futures rallied Thursday to close near $705 an ounce, lifting the benchmark contract to a four-month high on the heels of strong physical demand for the metal overseas, safe-haven buying and a weaker U.S. dollar as traders worried about the influence of high oil prices on the economy.

MAITLAND-2 SPUDS
Pan Pacific Petroleum NL advises that drilling of the Maitland-2 well commenced this morning (WST)
The Maitland-2 appraisal well is located in Permit WA-33-R in the Carnarvon Basin, W.A..
This well is designed to further appraise the potential of the Maitland gas field within the area of Retention Lease WA-33-R, through the evaluation of a stratigraphic trap defined by seismic amplitudes.
The Maitland gas field was discovered in August 1992 with the drilling of Maitland-1. One appraisal well, Maitland North-1, was drilled in January 1996 and contains gas and condensate in the Paleocene-aged Maitland sandstone. The field appears to be a low relief stratigraphic trap. The top porosity of the Maitland sandstone is associated with a decrease in acoustic impedance on the seismic data. - Web Site

MAJOR AUSTRALIAN IRON ORE PROJECTS TO PROCEED FOLLOWING LANDMARK JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT
Sydney, 6 September 2007 - Following a joint formal signing ceremony today, Western Australian iron ore company Gindalbie Metals Limited (ASX: GBG) is pleased to announce that it has executed a wide-ranging Joint Venture Development Agreement with leading Chinese steel and iron ore company, Anshan Iron & Steel Group Corporation (Ansteel), to proceed with development of the Karara Magnetite Project and Mungada Hematite Projects in Western Australia.
The announcement follows the delivery earlier this week of positive Bankable Feasibility Studies for both iron ore projects, which are located 225km east of Geraldton in the Mid West region of Western Australia. The projects will involve a total combined investment of up to A$1.8 billion in new mining and processing facilities and associated infrastructure both in Western Australia and China.
The Agreement was signed in Sydney by the President of Ansteel, Dr Zhang Xiaogang, and the Chairman of Gindalbie, Mr George Jones in the presence of the President of The Peoples Republic of China, Mr Hu Jintao, and Australia's Prime Minister, Mr John Howard, reflecting the importance of the Agreement to both Gindalbie and Ansteel and to the continued development of Australia's iron ore industry.
Under the terms of the Development Agreement, Gindalbie and Ansteel have agreed to develop both the Karara and Mungada Projects subject to the following conditions:
The financing terms of the Development Agreement are generally consistent with the original Karara Joint Venture Feasibility Study Agreement with the Project proposed to be funded on a 70/30 debt to equity ratio. For the equity component of the Project, Ansteel will contribute A$105 million plus 50% of the required equity whilst Gindalbie will contribute the balance of equity funding which equates to approximately 25% of the total equity funding requirement. The Project is now to be developed under an incorporated structure....... - Web Site

SINCLAIR NICKEL PROJECT GO-AHEAD
Jubilee Mines NL (ASX: JBM) is pleased to announce formal approval to proceed with development of its 100%-owned Sinclair Nickel Project, located 100km south of its Cosmos Nickel Operations in Western Australia, following completion of a positive Pre-Feasibility Study confirming the technical and economic viability of the Project.
The Sinclair Nickel Project - which will be a standalone operation - will comprise an open pit and underground mining operation, a new treatment facility with a base case 300,000 tonne per annum (tpa) capacity, tailings storage facility, 200-person accommodation village, project infrastructure, airstrip and communication systems. This will represent Jubilee's first new mine development outside of the immediate Cosmos mine environment.
The formal go-ahead is based on the current Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource for the Sinclair Nickel Project of 1.22 million tonnes @ 2.77% Ni for 33,799 nickel metal tonnes. An updated resource incorporating the results of successful drilling which has extended the deposit approximately 300 metres down-plunge is expected to be completed later this month.
Jubilee's Board is confident that Sinclair will emerge as a substantial new production centre for the Company, and is designing the treatment facility and associated site infrastructure to accommodate future expansion. In addition to upgrades at Sinclair, Jubilee is confident of significant additions to its resource inventory at Skye/Stirling, located immediately south of Sinclair, and numerous other exploration targets in the region such as Parnassus, Delphi and Schmitz Well.
The Sinclair Nickel Project will commence as an open pit to extract near-surface oxide and supergene mineralisation before transitioning to an underground mining operation. The open pit will deliver approximately 1.5 years of ore production, with the underground mine decline portal to be located approximately half way down the pit. Because the deposit commences close to surface and plunges gently to the north, Jubilee expects to achieve a quick production start up and a seamless production transition between open pit and underground production. ........ - Web Site
DRILLING COMMENCES AT THE SAVOYARDY GOLD PROJECT
Kentor Gold Limited (Kentor) has commenced diamond drilling at the Savoyardy gold project in the Kyrgyz Republic. The initial program is for 1,500 meters of drilling designed to delineate the first JORC resources for the Savoyardy project.
Exploration trenches and adits constructed in the 1970's showed the presence of high grade gold and antimony contained in a number of structures with widths of up to 27 meters. The mineralised structures can be traced for over 7 kilometres to the South West along strike until they move off the Savoyardy exploration licence at the Chinese border. Across the border in China, drilling by Canadian explorer Majestic Gold Corporation has extended along the same mineralised structures towards the boundary bordering Kentor's licence.
The drilling has been designed to test a 300 meters length of strike to a depth of approximately 90 metres below surface. ....... - Web Site

DRILLING REPORT - 6 September 2007
WELL NAME: Arakubi 1A, PNG
Oil Search reports that the Arakubi 1A exploration well spudded at 1730 on 30 August 2007. As at 0600 on 6 September 2007, the well was at a depth of 786 metres.
Arakubi 1A is located in PDL 2, five kilometres east of the Kutubu oil field, but only 2km from the nearest infrastructure. The well is a re-drill of Arakubi 1, which commenced drilling in mid-2006 but was suspended due to rig problems. Arakubi 1A is being drilled from the same well pad as the previous well, but in a new hole.
The well is targeting the Toro Sandstone in a seismically-defined hanging wall structure along trend from the prolific Iagifu field and has estimated oil reserves, in a success case, of 18mmbbls. The planned total depth of the well is 2,826 metres.
WELL NAME: Raheek-1, Egypt
Oil Search reports that during the previous week the rig moved to the site of the next exploration well in the East Ras Qattara block, Raheek-1, some 6 km south of the Rana discovery. The Raheek prospect is a tilted horst block and the well will target the Bahariya and Kharita formations that were found oil bearing in the three discovery wells preceding Raheek-1.

WOODSIDE AGREES KEY TERMS WITH PETROCHINA FOR BROWSE LNG
Woodside Energy Ltd. has signed a liquefied natural gas (LNG) key terms agreement with PetroChina Company Ltd for the potential sale of 2 to 3 million tonnes per annum of LNG from the Woodside- operated Browse LNG Development, for a period of 15 to 20 years.
The key terms agreement is a preliminary agreement between Woodside and PetroChina. It agrees the key commercial parameters normally included in a sale and purchase agreement, including LNG price.
The parties will negotiate in good faith to conclude an LNG supply agreement based on the key terms agreement. Supply is targeted to commence during the period 2013 to 2015. The agreement is subject to conditions including a final investment decision on the Browse project and relevant government approvals.
The Browse joint venturers have not been party to the agreement to this point, however the agreement provides the opportunity for commingled sales.
The key terms agreement was signed in Sydney this morning by Don Voelte, CEO Woodside Energy Ltd. and Zhou Jiping, Vice-President China National Petroleum Corporation (on behalf of PetroChina). Present at the signing ceremony were Australian Prime Minister John Howard and Chinese President Hu Jintao.
Woodside Chief Executive Don Voelte said the agreement further strengthened the company's position as an LNG supplier of choice in the Asia-Pacific region.
PetroChina is one of China's largest energy companies. An agreement with such a significant foundation customer provides increased certainty to enable Woodside to move the Browse development forward. - Web Site

Stocks finished sharply lower Wednesday as a jittery Wall Street sold off on a report showing a large drop in pending home sales and read anecdotal data from the Federal Reserve's regional banks as offering little more assurance that an interest rate cut is likely. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped more than 140 points.
Bond prices soared as investors again sought the safety of government debt, sending yields to multi-month lows. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to its price, fell to 4.47 percent, its weakest level since March 14, and down from 4.56 percent at Tuesday's close.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 2.93 billion shares, compared with 2.76 billion shares traded Tuesday.
Copper fell to the lowest in more than a week on speculation that slower growth will curb demand in the U.S.
Nickel fell the most in almost three weeks on the London Metal Exchange as stainless-steel makers, the biggest consumers of the metal, cut prices because of weaker demand. Aluminum also dropped.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS OF MELICK INVESTIGATION
The report by the Special Investigator Mr Greg Melick QC was today tabled at the re-opening of the Coronial Inquiry in Launceston and a summary of the findings and recommendations was released.
A copy of Mr Melick's summary is attached.
The recommendations are consistent with the western Case for Safety that has been peer reviewed and submitted to Workplace Standards Tasmania for consideration.
Beaconsfield Gold Chief Executive Officer Mr Bill Colvin said: "Beaconsfield Gold mine has undergone the most intense scrutiny of any mine in Australia and possibly the world following an accident. We have now been able to lodge the final Case for Safety to Workplace Standards Tasmania and expect soon to be in a position to announce the resumption of full mining operations."
"A staged re-commissioning of the mine has been underway for several months and gold production has been steadily increasing. Production from stopes in the eastern area of the mine has now recommenced and full production levels are expected to be attained with the acceptance of the western Case for Safety," Mr Colvin said......

UPDATE ON ICON'S DRILLING PROGRAMME IN ATP 626P SURAT BASIN
Natasha No. 1 and Lydia No. 1 (Spud date first week in October 2007 for Natasha No.1)
Icon Energy Limited has signed a Contract with Mitchell Drilling to drill two coal bed methane (CBM) wells, back to back, in ATP 626P. These CBM wells to be known as Natasha No. 1 and Lydia No. 1 have been selected in areas where previous wells drilled in the 1960s encountered significant coal intersections within the Jurassic Walloon Coal Measures. Natasha No. 1 will be drilled within 50 metres of Thompson No. 1 which penetrated a total coal thickness exceeding 30 metres within the Walloons. Lydia No. 1 is to be drilled approximately 800 metres north of Yarrill Creek No. 1, which penetrated in excess of 45 metres of coal within the Walloons.
There are three steps planed to evaluate the gas production potential of the coals.
Step 1 requires drilling and conducting an initial flow test to confirm the water volume and quality of the water from the coal seams.
Step 2 requires that the coals intersected be dewatered over a period of several months, as gas does not appear for some time and then increases over time as the coals are dewatered.
Step 3 When the gas flow is established as being commercial, it is then necessary to drill a pilot or series of closely spaced wells within a kilometre radius to increase the production to commercially marketable levels.
The drilling of Jurassic Walloon Coal Measures has been proven to be commercially viable within the Surat Basin. Icon anticipates that given successful engineering of the wells, commercial gas production can be established with very low risk.
Stitch No. 1 (Expected spud date early October 2007)
Icon has selected a location for the drilling of Stitch No. 1 and is finalising a drilling Contract with Century Drilling for this well. Stitch No. 1 will be drilled to test the hydrocarbon potential of the Precipice Sandstone which is the same reservoir found in the Moonie Oilfield 40 kilometres to the north of the Stitch location. The trap is a three way closed fault dependent structure. If the fault is a sealing fault and migration of hydrocarbons into the trap has occurred then the potential oil reserves exceed that of the Moonie Oilfield, discovered in 1961, where oil production was approximately 25 million barrels. At this point, we are unable to know ahead of time if hydrocarbons are present in commercial quantities. Nearby wells Ballymena No.1 and Widow No.1 penetrated significant oil and gas shows, which means that hydrocarbons are present in the sedimentary rocks in this part of the Surat Basin.
Stitch No. 1 and Natasha No. 1 are expected to commence drilling during the first week of October, subject to any delay in moving the rigs to the locations.
A further announcement will be made when the wells are about to commence.
Icon holds a working interest in ATP 626P of 100% and a net revenue interest of 90% after deduction of Government royalties of 10%. The Government royalty is calculated after deducting operation and transportation costs. The interest held by Icon may be reduced to 75% working interest, by way of farmout prior to the commencement of drilling.

Encouraging Drill Results Jump-up Dam
IN-FILL DRILLING RESULTS JUMP-UP DAM PROJECT
Heron Resources Ltd is pleased to announce positive reverse circulation (RC) drilling results from current in-fill drilling at its wholly owned Jump-up Dam nickel laterite project.
The current results for the latest drilling in the north-west corner of the project demonstrates the good continuity of the higher grade mineralisation between and along the drill sections. JDRC2224 has returned the highest grade drilling result returned to date from the project of 6.12% Ni over a 2m interval from 24m depth. This is significant because the hole is located some 150m south of main high-grade zone on the western side and may be part of further previously unrecognised high grade domain.
Heron Resource's Managing Director, Mr Mathew Longworth, said "we are seeing the drilling demonstrate the continuity of the higher grade zones, which is great news for the continuing feasibility work on Jump-up Dam. As a bonus to this in-fill drilling work, we are particularly encouraged to see some new zones identified, including recording the highest nickel grade interception to date at Jump-up Dam, with 6.12% nickel over two metres."
"These results give us great encouragement that we will be able to upgrade substantial portions of the current indicated mineral resource estimate at Jump-up Dam to the Measured category, over the course of the feasibility studies." - Web Site

Petsec outlines active USA and China oil & gas programmes
Petsec Energy Ltd (ASX, PSA; ADR's, PSJEY.PK)
The closing months of 2007 will see Petsec Energy Ltd embark on more active USA and China exploration programmes - aimed at building on the Sydney-based company's already impressive reserves growth of recent years.
Speaking today in Fremantle at the 2007 Good Oil Conference, Petsec's Chairman and CEO, Mr Terry Fern, said the Company had achieved a compound annual growth rate of 38% in reserves over the past 5 years.
"This growth came from the USA Gulf of Mexico region and China - the same areas we are focusing on in the coming months with our active exploration and development programs," Mr Fern said.
"The successful exploration in the Gulf of Mexico and China saw Petsec involved in 25 successful wells out of 31 drilled, to discover a net 85 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent (Bcfe) net to Petsec," he said.
"The robust reserves growth has been quickly translated into cash flow growth of 41% compound, with strong operating margins of US$5.76 per Mcfe and Finding and Development costs of US$2.52 per Mcfe. These metrics compare favourably with Petsec's US peers".
Share price a "deep discount"
Mr Fern said Petsec's current market capitalization of around A$203 million at a share price of A$1.32 was a deep discount to the Company's Australian peers and to broker valuations which range from A$1.80 - A$3.04 per Petsec share...... - Web Site

NARE TO PROGRESS ANGOLAN DIAMOND PROJECT - PRODUCTION PLANNED FOR 2008
Australian based diamond exploration and development company Nare Diamonds Limited (ASX: NDM) ("Nare" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update as it prepares to commence development of its recently acquired highly prospective 3,000 km² diamond concession in Angola ("the Lulo Diamond Concession").
Highlights
In December 2006 we decided to move from contractor to owner mining on our Schmidtsdrift Diamond Project in South Africa. As a result, our Company acquired a substantial fleet of dump trucks, excavators and related plant and equipment, of which a part is immediately available for the Lulo Project.
As you will note from the map attached to the ASX announcement, the Lulo Project is in real "elephant country" and bulk sampling on alluvial gravels will commence before the end of this year.....- Web Site

Cullarin Project Joint Venture Drilling
Tri Origin Minerals Ltd (Tri Origin) is pleased to announce exploration drilling will commence this week within the Cullarin Project Joint Venture area located approximately 30 kilometres north of its Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Projects site in New South Wales.
This initial programme of reverse circulation drilling to be thereafter followed up by deeper diamond drilling is focussed on the Cullarin Valley Prospect located towards the southern end of the Joint Venture area (Figure1). The exploration objective for this prospect is to either identify a standalone project development opportunity or provide an alternative site for the Woodlawn Retreatment Project plant (+1.5 Mtpa) once tailings retreatment at Woodlawn is complete..... - Web Site

STATUTORY REVIEW OF OCEANWAY LNG FACILITY BEGINS
A public review of Woodside's proposed OceanWay liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving facility off Los Angeles has begun after an application for a deepwater port licence was formally "deemed complete" by US regulatory authorities.
The classification of the application as complete by the US Coast Guard and the City of Los Angeles is an important step in the permitting process, and signals the beginning of the environmental assessment of the project.
Woodside Natural Gas Inc, a wholly-owned US subsidiary of Woodside Petroleum Ltd., lodged its application with the US Coast Guard and the City of Los Angeles in August 2006.
The OceanWay project would see LNG converted back to natural gas at sea on board a regasification tanker, which would unload its cargo through two underwater buoys located 45km off the coast of Los Angeles.
The buoys would be connected to undersea pipelines feeding into the existing Southern California pipeline infrastructure near Los Angeles International Airport.
Attached is a statement on this permitting milestone distributed by Woodside Natural Gas..... - Web Site

Wall Street extended its rebound from the big summer slump Tuesday after dips in manufacturing growth and construction spending raised investors' hopes for an interest rate cut. Further bolstering the argument for a rate cut, U.S. Federal Reserve Bank directors, in minutes released Tuesday from three discount rate meetings from July 9 to Aug. 6, said a contracting U.S. housing market posed a risk to growth.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 12 to 5 on the New York Stock Exchange, but trading was still relatively light. Consolidated volume came to 2.76 billion shares, up only modestly from Friday's 2.69 billion.
Stocks in the energy sector also surged as New York Mercantile Exchange crude futures rose $1.04 to $75.08 a barrel on the possibilities of the hurricane season intensifying and OPEC deciding not to raise production when it meets next week.
Zinc fell to a 14-month low, leading a decline in other industrial metals, on speculation that excess supply will widen next year. Copper, lead, nickel, aluminum and tin also dropped. Nickel took a hammering as more signs emerged stainless steel producers are using less of the metal.
Gold rose the most since June on speculation a rally in U.S. equities will boost investment demand for the precious metal. Silver also gained.

REVISED FULL YEAR RESULTS
The Directors of Amadeus Energy Limited hereby re-issue the Group result for the year ended 30 June 2007.
The revision has been made necessary, due to the recent release of the 2006/07 preliminary final result of associated company, Australian Renewable Fuels Limited (ARW), through the impact of a material impairment charge against ARW's assets.
On 31 August 2007 ARW reported a full year loss after tax of $33.6 million which included a large one-off impairment charge to its Australian assets, amounting to approximately $29 million. (At the time of reporting Amadeus' full year result, the ARW loss was based upon latest available management information).
The impact on the income statement is disclosed as "Loss of associate" which is a non-cash item and does not form part of the Amadeus Group's core US business. Amadeus equity accounts its share of the loss of ARW and reduces the book carrying value of its investment in ARW on the balance sheet.
The impact of the impairment within ARW has resulted in the carrying value of investment in associate being reduced to $7.2 million. The value based on Amadeus' share of ARW's net assets as at year-end is closer to $17 million. The impact of ARW's impairment loss has resulted in a reduction in the Amadeus profit by $5.8 million to $3.1 million.
A summary of the adjustment to record the preliminary final result of ARW for the year ended 30 June 2007 is as follows:.... - Web Site

Company Update on PEP 168 Onshore Drilling Program
Essential Petroleum Resources Limited ("Essential Petroleum") is pleased to announce that the Joint Venture partners in PEP 168 have agreed to conduct a 2 to 3 well drilling program. Work has already commenced to secure a suitable drilling rig. PEP 168 is an onshore permit in the Port Campbell Embayment, a proven gas province in the Otway Basin.
The drilling program is due to commence in late January/early February 2008, depending on rig availability.
The Managing Director of Essential Petroleum, John Remfry, said "this onshore drilling program is an exciting opportunity to pursue some near field exploration located near producing gas fields such as the McIntee, North Parratte and Iona fields."
"The key to commercial success in PEP 168 will be to minimise the finding costs and to lower operating costs. In the event of a successful gas discovery, production can be achieved within 6 to 12 months." - Web Site

MINCOR CEMENTS STRONG GROWTH OUTLOOK WITH MAJOR INCREASE IN RESOURCES AND RESERVES
Metal Inventory at All-Time High after Six Years of High Production Nickel Mining
Kambalda nickel miner Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) has capped its most profitable year to date with the announcement today of a major increase in its nickel resource and reserve inventory to record high levels in all categories, providing a strong foundation for its expanding production outlook.
Mincor said today (Tuesday) that its mineral resource inventory as at 30 June 2007 had increased by 93% to a record 146,300 tonnes of contained nickel metal, nearly double last year's record of 75,800 tonnes. Ore reserves increased by 40% to 62,700 tonnes of contained nickel metal compared with 44,700 tonnes last year.
The substantial increase in metal inventory follows Mincor's recently announced record annual profit of $101.3 million, marking its fifth consecutive year of strong profit and dividend growth.
The increase in metal inventory comes after a year of strong production during which Mincor mined a total of 15,100 tonnes of contained nickel metal. Taking account of this production, Mincor actually increased its ore reserves by 74% over the figure for end-June 2006, adding 33,100 tonnes of nickel metal....... - Web Site

COMMENCEMENT OF WOOLLYBUTT-4H DEVELOPMENT WELL - CARNARVON BASIN
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") provides the following information on the Woollybutt-4H development well which kicks off the Woollybutt South Development.
Location
The Woollybutt-4H development well is located in permit WA-25-L at a surface location of latitude 20°57'16.17"S and longitude 114°52'06.14"E in the Barrow Sub-basin. The well will be sidetracked from the existing Woollybutt-4 well.
Progress
As of this morning, the Songa Venus drilling rig has re-entered the previously drilled Woollybutt-4 well and is drilling out the cement plugs prior to commencing the Woollybutt-4H sidetrack. Woollybutt-4H will sidetrack from the Woollybutt-4 well and will be drilled and completed as a horizontal well in the Top Barrow Sandstones which contains a similar oil to the Northern Lobe of the Woollybutt Field.
Tap Comment
The Woollybutt South Lobe was originally discovered by the Woollybutt-3A well in 1999 and subsequently appraised by the Woollybutt-4 and Woollybutt-5A wells. The planned wells are a re-entry of the Woollybutt-4 well and the drilling of the Woollybutt-6 appraisal well.
With completion of the Woollybutt-4 well and a successful appraisal at the Woollybutt-6 well, additional reserves of approximately 10 MMbbls are expected from the greater Woollybutt development.
Preparations are on schedule for an early 2008 tie in of the two wells by subsea flowlines to the Woollybutt Four Vanguard FPSO which will increase production to approximately 14,000 bopd.
Following completion of the Woollybutt-4 well, the rig will move to the Woollybutt-6 appraisal well.- Web Site

The Company's financial results for the year were again severely impacted by the suspension of mining activity following the 25 April 2006 incident in the underground workings of the Beaconsfield Mine.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the year ended 30 June 2007 was a loss of $8.391 million (2006: loss of $8.909 million). The consolidated net loss after tax for the year was $9.566 million (2006: $14.290 million loss). The financial results for the current year include those of Allstate Explorations NL from the date of acquisition of that company on 30 April 2007.
Gold and silver sales revenue for the 2007 year of $3.256 million (2006: $24.228 million) reflects the cessation of ore production from April 2006 until May 2007, with limited gold production from development ore during May and June 2007.
A $7.117 million benefit was recorded during the year reflecting the changes in the mark-to-market value of the Group's gold forward sales contracts. This was partly offset by a $3.366 million loss on the close-out of gold forward sales contracts during the year. As at 30 June 2007 the Group had 47,242 ounces of spot deferred and flat forward gold sales contracts at A$638 per ounce. The mark-to-market value of the hedge book as at 30 June 2007 was negative $6.449 million.
Since December 2006 a staged recommencement of underground mining operations has been progressed following the lifting of bans imposed in April 2006 by the Chief Inspector of Mines. Ore production from development recommenced in May 2007 and the ore treatment plant was fully recommissioned with 2,860 ounces of gold poured by 30 June 2007.
Stope production from the Eastern Zone of the mine recommenced in August 2007. Subject to acceptance of the Case for Safety for the Western Zone ore production, extraction of high grade ore from that Zone is planned for late September 2007 utilising remote mining methods.
