Wall Street closed out a bumpy week with a moderate advance Friday as tech stocks charged higher on takeover news and other sectors gained on data that indicated the economy is expanding at a healthy pace. For the week, the Dow was up 0.19 percent; the S&P 500 rose 0.27 percent and the Nasdaq gained 0.91 percent.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 2.71 billion shares, compared to 3.82 billion on Thursday.
The government reported that retail sales showed a stronger-than-expected gain last month and that wholesale prices jumped in September amid an increase in food and energy costs. Business inventories increased, while consumer sentiment slipped.
Oil futures moved above $84 per barrel to a fresh trading high and settled at a record as well amid concerns that supplies won't meet demand in the fourth quarter.
Copper fell on speculation demand in China, the world's biggest metal consumer, will decline should the country raise interest rates to cool the economy.
Nickel rose in London, heading for a second weekly advance, as inventories shrank and stainless-steel makers increased their purchases of the metal following a price slump earlier this year.
Gold retreated early on Friday, as the US dollar strengthened against major counterparts in the wake of stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales. Silver also dropped.

ANDEAN REPORTS 83% INCREASE IN CERRO NEGRO GOLD RESOURCE ESTIMATE TO 1.5 M OUNCES
SEES BENEFITS FROM KINGSGATE SELL DOWN
Andean Resources Ltd. (ASX/TSX:AND) (Andean) today reported an 83 percent increase in its updated independent resource estimate for the company's 100 percent owned Cerro Negro gold project in southern Argentina, speeding Andean's transition towards producer status.
The new estimate follows Phase 3 infill drilling at Vein Zone earlier this year as well as a maiden resource calculation derived from the initial 25 holes drilled at the exciting new Eureka West vein, discovered in the past year. The new estimate will form the basis of a pre-feasibility study to be managed by Andean's Chief Engineer Pete Blakely.
Today's estimate is compliant with NI 43-101 and JORC, and was carried out by independent mining consultants Micon International Ltd.
The total combined new resource estimate comprises 1.54 million ounces of gold, (at a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t at Vein Zone and 2.5 g/t at Eureka West). These estimates compare to 842,000 ounces (at a 0.5 g/t cut-off), reported in September 2006. To date, Andean has drilled two of seven known epithermal vein occurrences at Cerro Negro...... - Web Site

Bronzewing Performance Update
View Resources (ASX: VRE) is pleased to report that the ramp up to full operational production at the Bronzewing Gold Project is nearing completion. Many of the key operational issues have now been overcome as the Company drives towards the monthly 10,000 oz target that equates to the annualised production figure of 120,000 oz, making Bronzewing a substantial Australian gold producer.
Bronzewing now has ore presenting from five sources, the two underground declines Discovery and Calista, and three pits, Venus, Success and Central, with the resultant increase in stockpiles available. Operationally, both underground contractors on site are performing well and capital development is now back on schedule delivering more consistent higher grade ore as both declines begin their stoping programs.
With the current supply of ore the treatment plant now has the ability to blend the feed grade and material type to achieve optimum efficiency levels and targeted recoveries. The operational position is better than at any stage over the past 3-4 months, where lack of consistent ore supply has been a key limiting factor. With continuing improvement now forecast Bronzewing is moving towards its original targets and goals.
Bronzewing produced 17,600 oz gold during the June-Sept quarter when the ramp up began. With consistent ore supply and higher grades being processed the recovered ounces of gold will continue to build to 30,000 oz forecast for the current quarter.
Views other asset, the Carnilya Hill Nickel Project, development continues to go according to plan with the Joint Venture partners advancing the decline to the new ore body down plunge west from the old Carnilya Hill mine. It is still forecast that first revenues will come in from Carnilya Hill in January 2008 and that mine will contribute positively to View cash flows from the second quarter 2008.
Negotiations on refinancing are well advanced and the Company will make an announcement shortly. - Web Site

Stocks retreated Thursday after a European Central Bank official pointed to rising price risks and a major Wall Street bank lowered its sales expectations for Chinese Internet company Baidu.com.
The U.S. trade deficit fell to its lowest level in seven months -- a much better reading than Wall Street expected -- amid record sales of American products. The Commerce Department said the deficit declined to $57.6 billion in August, down 2.4 percent from the July imbalance. Exports rose 0.4 percent to a record $138.3 billion, while imports dropped 0.4 percent to $195.9 billion.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 5 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.52 billion shares.
A weakening US dollar makes U.S. exports more competitive abroad. On Thursday, the dollar fell versus the euro but rose against the pound and the yen.
Spiking gold and oil prices heightened some investors' worries about inflation. Light, sweet crude rose $1.78 to $83.08 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after the government reported an unexpected drop in crude oil inventories and a surprise increase in refinery activity.
Gold rose to the highest price since 1980 as a decline in the value of the dollar boosted the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment.
On the London Metal Exchange, copper for delivery in three months fell $100, or 1.2 percent, to $8,080 a metric ton ($3.66 a pound). The metal reached a record $8,800 in May 2006.
An eight-day walkout at Southern Copper operations in Peru ended on Wednesday after union leaders and company officials reached a pay deal. But a strike at Southern's parent, Grupo Mexico, will drag on after a court ruled earlier this week that it could continue.

Georgina Basin Applications in Queensland
Central Petroleum Ltd. (ASX symbol "CTP") - one of Australia's largest net onshore acreage holders with permits, subject to grant, spanning more than 250,000 square kilometres - has emerged as the successful bidder for three exploration permits in Queensland with areas totalling 14,000 sqm. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Merlin Energy Pty Ltd, was recently notified by the Queensland government that it was the preferred tenderer with priority to apply for a title grant over ATPs 909, ATP 911 and ATP 912 in the Queensland portion of the southern Georgina basin, which hosts oil and gas targets in Middle to Late Cambrian petroleum systems.
These application areas totalling c.14,000 km2 complement an existing application area in the Northern Territory, EP(A) 132, which falls in the same geological terrane. The Queensland applications are part of Central's exploration strategy of gaining an early-entry position into under-explored prospective onshore basins of central Australia, with the accompanying aim of building up "whole-of-basins" positions. - Web Site

Stokes Bay-1 Activity Update
Stokes Bay-1, Onshore Canning Basin, Western Australia (FAR 8%) Preparing to drill ahead at 1,841mMD after bit change
FAR has been advised by ARC Energy Limited that current operations at the well comprise running in the hole with a new bottomhole assembly and bit to continue drilling ahead in 8 ½" hole from 1,841mMD.
The Stokes Bay-1 well is planned as a test of the extent and reservoir development of the gas accumulation intersected by the Point Torment-1 well and will be drilled as a deviated well with a total depth of approximately 2,500 metres. Point Torment-1 was drilled in 1992 and subsequently flowed gas at a rate of up to 4.3 million cubic feet of gas per day from the Carboniferous aged Anderson Formation sandstones. Subsequent tests of these sands produced ambiguous information on potential volumes and reservoir quality and the Stokes Bay-1 well is designed to provide a definitive test of the reservoir quality and extent of the accumulation.
The Valentine-1 well intersected very strong gas shows and indications of porosity in the Anderson and Laurel Formations downdip from the target interval in the Stokes Bay-1 well. This is a very positive indication for Stokes Bay-1 which is targeted to intersect these objectives within closure, some 90 metres updip from the Valentine-1 intersection. - Web Site

INDIAN GOVERNMENT DECISION IS MAJOR BOOST FOR AUSTRALIAN CLEAN FUEL PIONEER - EDEN ENERGY
A bold decision by the Indian Government to have a fifth of the country's vehicles running by 2020 on new, lower emission hydrogen-gas fuel blends, has been welcomed by an Australian company at the forefront of developing and marketing such fuels.
ASX-listed Eden Energy Limited (ASX code "EDE") said today the Indian Government decision would significantly boost Eden's first mover advantage to date in establishing a competitive foothold in alternative low emission fuel supplies for India's transport and power generation markets.
"We have been actively and successfully promoting, marketing and trialling Eden's Hythane® fuel, a blend of hydrogen and methane gas in India for two years now," Eden's Executive Chairman., Mr Greg Solomon, said today.
"This has positioned Eden on a strong first mover advantage within the key national market most expected to lead world conversion rates in the next 10-12 years to alternative fuels, particularly hydrogen based blends," Mr Solomon said....... - Web Site

Goldstream Committed to Uranex Shareholding
The Board of Goldstream Mining NL (ASX:GDM) advises its investment in Uranex (ASX:UNX) currently remains a core part of its portfolio, with its shareholding due to come out of escrow this month.
Goldstream currently holds 33 million shares in Uranex, which will come out of escrow on October 25.
The Goldstream Board believes it is in the interests of its shareholders for it to remain a strategic shareholder in Uranex, a dedicated uranium development company spun out of Goldstream in 2005.
The Goldstream Board believes in the future of uranium and intends the Uranex shares to form a core part of Goldstream's diversified investment portfolio.
Uranex has a broader portfolio of uranium assets than most of its peers in terms of styles of uranium deposits as well as geographical spread in various political jurisdictions. Uranex has stated that it intends to release a JORC resource at Thatcher's Soak in Western Australia, and another JORC resource at Area C in the Lake Bahi project in Tanzania before the end of this calendar year. Goldstream believes both these resources will provide a significant opportunity for the re-rating of Uranex as the company transitions to the ranks of having a resource in a geographical location where uranium can be mined.
Uranex is in the fortunate position to have a significant amount of cash at bank sufficient to fund the Companys' activities for the next 2-3 years. - Web Site

US$110 million (A$122m.) acquisition to double
Petsec Energy's USA oil & gas reserves and production
Petsec Energy Ltd (ASX: PSA; ADR's: PSJEY.PK)
Australian oil and gas company, Petsec Energy Ltd, today announced a US$110 million (A$122 million) acquisition that will double reserves and production for the Sydney based company's traditional USA operations in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore Louisiana.
The acquisition - which includes six producing gas fields and another gas field soon to be producing - will be fully debt funded and will provide immediate earnings growth for shareholders.
Petsec Energy said it had signed a binding agreement to purchase the package of onshore and offshore production assets from LLOG Exploration Company LLC, a privately owned US oil and gas company, for a total consideration of US$110 million on the effective date of 1 October 2007.
Assets to be Acquired
Interests in three offshore producing gas fields in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, USA, being Main Pass 20 & 270 and Chandeleur 31/32. These fields are close to Petsec Energy's Main Pass and Mobile Bay gas fields.
Interests in four onshore gas fields in Louisiana, USA, three of which are currently producing; the fourth is expected to commence production late this year.
Under the agreement, Petsec Energy will have a majority working interest in all but one of the fields and will become the operator of two of the three offshore and two of the four onshore fields. - Web Site

Lakes Oil N.L. ("LKO") advises that the one for three Rights Issue by prospectus has closed. Applications totalling approximately $3,839,891.47 were received from Shareholders. Shares will be issued within the next 2 weeks.
The shortfall of this issue will now be available to the Directors of Lakes Oil to place at a price of not less than one cent per share.
As foreshadowed in the prospectus our ongoing program is very much directed by the success of this issue. It has been decided that Lakes Oil N.L. will "shoot" 3D seismic over the Wombat and Steele structures both located in PRL2 onshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria.
This will enable us to position the Wombat-4 well in the best possible location when it is drilled at the end of the first quarter 2008, depending on rig availability.
Having regard to the amount raised, it has been decided that our best course is to drill a new Wombat well and then fracture stimulate that well rather than taking the risk of re-working old wells, namely Wombat 1, 2 and 3. Those wells can still be re-worked at a later date should we receive the positive results which we anticipate will eventuate in Wombat-4.
The 3D seismic will be the first ever 3D "shot" in onshore Gippsland. We have high hopes it will assist us to unlocking the development of the region.

FURTHER SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS AT WILUNA AS DRILLING FROM UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT IDENTIFIES NEW HIGH GRADE ZONES
TEN DRILL RIGS NOW UNDERTAKING INTENSIVE PROGRAMS AT WILUNA, GIDGEE & YOUANMI
Apex Minerals NL (ASX:AXM) is pleased to announce highly encouraging drilling results at its Wiluna Gold Mine in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia following commencement of drilling from the new underground development established to facilitate this process (Tables 1-4 & Figures 1-4).
Of particular note is drillhole CADH684, which is the first hole to be drilled from the newly established section of the Henry5 decline in a position which enables multiple zones to be tested with each drillhole. CADH684 intersected four separate mineralised structures including the Henry5 zone (on the 100 surface), the Henry5 footwall zone (on the 50 surface), the Brothers Reef, and an additional previously unidentified mineralised zone, as follows:
This hole has intersected better grades and widths than expected in the Henry5 zone and in the Henry5 Footwall zone, has identified an entirely new high grade footwall zone and confirmed the presence of high grade mineralisation in a quartz reef interpreted to be the Brothers Reef target (Figure 2)...... - Web Site

Wall Street stumbled through a lopsided session Wednesday, closing mixed as profit warnings and news from blue chip names Alcoa Inc. and Boeing Co. dragged down the Dow Jones industrial average but largely spared technology stocks. In addition a report showed inventories among U.S. wholesalers ticked up in August, while a trade group for real estate agents warned the drop in sales of existing homes this year will be steeper than had been expected.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 6 to 5 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 2.96 billion shares, up from 2.08 billion Tuesday.
Light, sweet crude rose $1.04 to settle at $81.30 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange following word that workers at Chevron facilities in Nigeria had staged a surprise strike and by a report that demand for gasoline is up. There was also speculation that Turkish forces may attack rebel camps in northern Iraq, curtailing oil shipments.
Copper rose the most in three weeks as concern that the economy will slump in the U.S., the world's second-largest consumer of the metal, eased.
Gold and silver rose as a decline in the value of the US dollar boosted the appeal of the precious metals as alternative investments.

AWE's Kopuwai-1 drilling update
AWE Ltd ("AWE") reports that the Kopuwai-1 well is at a depth of 3,876 m. Current activity is pulling out to change the bit.
Since the last report, the well has been drilled from 2,310 metres to 3,876 metres. Oil shows were encountered in the Kapuni F Sand over the interval 3,655 to 3,690 metres, but the logs recorded while drilling indicate that the sandstone beds are either poor quality or finely interbedded over this interval.
Once the well reaches total depth of approximately 4,050 metres, wireline logs will be run in order to assess the economic significance of the F Sand interval.
Kopuwai-1 is in New Zealand's western Taranaki basin in PEP 38482, approximately 10 kilometres north of the Tui Area oil project in 125 metres of water. - Web Site

LANFRANCHI RESERVES INCREASE OVER 200%
RESOURCE & RESERVE UPGRADE
Sally Malay Mining Limited (ASX Code: SMY) is pleased to announce a significant upgrade in Resources and Reserves for the Lanfranchi Nickel Project. This increase is attributed to the discovery of the Deacon orebody in late 2006 and the upgrade of the Winner Resource in early 2007. The initial Deacon Resource of 58,100t contained Ni is already 2.5 times the Helmut South resource of 22,000 t contained Ni that underpinned the original purchase of the Lanfranchi Project. As at 30 June 2007 the Lanfranchi Nickel Project Resource has increased from 73,000t contained Ni to 125,000t contained Ni (see Table 2 & 3) and the Reserves have increased from 20,000t contained Ni to 61,300t contained Ni (see Table 1)..... - Web Site

PARTIAL SALE OF RACCOON BEND, AUSTIN & WALLER COUNTIES, USA
The Directors of Amadeus Energy Limited are pleased to announce the partial sale of the Group's interest in the Raccoon Bend oil field. As part of the strategic asset review, as announced with the FY07 result, the Group has successfully negotiated the part sale of the Raccoon Bend project. Amadeus has sold down 75% of its interest in the field from 60% to 15%. This sale will realise $US9 million to the Group in proceeds. The Group currently expects to book an unaudited profit from the sale of $US4 million.
Amadeus originally acquired its interest in 39 leases in the Raccoon Bend field from Mission Resources for $US3 million in December 2003. During this time, the field has produced 831,695 barrels of oil (385,294 barrels net to Amadeus). AMU estimates it has divested 1P and 2P reserves of approximately 795,000 barrels of oil and 6,930 mcf of gas. The Group's total reserves are currently under review and completion of this review is expected prior to this month's AGM....... - Web Site

Further Drill Results from the Guadalupe Project
The Directors are pleased to announce results from the continuing reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drill program at the Guadalupe project, 7.0 kilometres southeast of the Palmarejo Project, in the Temoris District, Chihuahua, Mexico.
The Guadalupe project consists of a series of northeast dipping quartz veins that have been traced for more than 2,000 metres along strike. There are three main prospects located along the Guadalupe structure known from north to south as Guadalupe Norte, Guadalupe and Las Animas. A fourth prospect, El Salto, has been identified by surface mapping as a link structure between Las Animas and Guadalupe. El Salto has only been tested by near surface drilling.
Twenty three holes have been drilled for 2,042 metres of RC and 3,370 metres of diamond core (including three core continuations of RC, and one wedge hole), since the previous drilling update on 13 September 2007. Some of the better results from recent drilling are reported below as down hole intercepts. Where there is a difference between down hole and true width intercepts these are noted in the table of full assay results recorded below.

SUGARLOAF PROJECT UPDATE
Kennedy #1H
Eureka advises that at 6am Texas time on 9 October, 2007 the Kennedy #1H exploration well, located in the onshore Gulf Coast Basin in Texas, USA was drilling ahead at a depth of 11,803' (3,598 metres) and preparing to kick off into the horizontal section. The proposed total depth for this well is 17,570 feet Measured Depth.
Sugarloaf-1 Well
Since our last report of 5 October the well has been flow tested but failed to flow. This result is not unexpected because the fracture stimulation was sub-optimal due to premature screen-out and only 6% of the proppant made it into the rock formation.
The Operator has proposed that the zone be re-fracced. If approved by the Joint Venture, this operation will likely take place within 1 to 2 weeks.
Eureka, through its wholly owned US subsidiary Hosston Oil & Gas, LP, has a 12.5 % interest in the Sugarloaf Project which includes the Sugarloaf-1 and Kennedy #1H wells. - Web Site

Letter to Shareholders
At Resource Pacific Holdings Limited's annual general meeting yesterday, I gave a presentation on the company's operational achievements and growth strategy. You can find a copy of my presentation on our website www.resourcepacific.com.au and I would like to draw your attention to the key points.
With the longwall expansion plan now completed, we are targeting an increase in run-of-mine production to 8 million tonnes per annum in time to coincide with an expected increase in port capacity in 2010. This will provide the company with significant revenue growth and cash generation, taking advantage of a burgeoning coal export market.
A key step towards achieving our targets is to recapitalise the business, which we intend to achieve through a renounceable rights issue of $165 million.
We indicated in our 2007 results announcement that we wanted to refinance the company's existing $120 million project finance facility because it contains restrictions that adversely affect the ability of the company to grow and deliver on its strategic plan. Part of the proceeds of the proposed $165 million issue will be used to repay that facility and release the company from those restrictions. The net remainder of the proceeds of the rights issue will provide working capital needed by the company now as a result of the current longwall discontinuity and to purchase the second longwall face line.
As explained in the Explanatory Memorandum attached to the Notice of Meeting dated 28 September, the board believes a rights issue at this time is in the best interests of shareholders to enable the company to implement its well-developed strategic plan.
New Hope's announcement on 26 September that it intends to bid for Resource Pacific frustrated our original refinancing plan. Had we been able to keep to this plan and announce an underwritten rights issue on 1 October 2007, substantial funds would have been received already from the institutional component of the issue and our near-term working capital demands would have been satisfied by now. In response to the announcement, we thought it appropriate to give shareholders the opportunity to vote on whether the rights issue should proceed as, under the terms of New Hope's announcement, New Hope is able to withdraw its bid if the company issues fresh equity.
The company has considered other refinancing alternatives. However, the project finance facility includes an exclusivity provision that prevents us from refinancing with different lenders. Refinancing with the current lenders, if available, would not free the company from the debilitating restrictions in the existing facility and would be expensive. In addition, the presence of New Hope's bid announcement means that the company is not able to access the capital markets (other than via the proposed rights issue) for another three months, so that option has now been denied to us.
Your board's initial view of New Hope's intended bid is that it is unattractive. .......... - Web Site

MILESTONE REVIEW OF NICKEL POTENTIAL OF NARNOO TENEMENTS
A1 Minerals has completed a milestone review of the potential for nickel-sulphide deposits on its extensive tenement package at Narnoo, south east of Laverton, within the Great Victoria Desert of Western Australia. The assessment highlighted the high nickel-sulphide potential on A1's Narnoo Tenements.
The review was conducted by Dr. Jon Hronsky (Principal - Western Mining Services (Australia)), whose particular expertise in nickel sulphide deposits played an important role in the discovery of the West Musgrave and Collurabbie nickel-sulphide provinces (Western Australia). Dr. Hronsky was most recently Manager-Strategy & Generative Services for BHP Billiton Mineral Exploration, and was previously Global Geoscience Leader for WMC Resources. Dr. Hronsky concluded, "the Narnoo belt represents a very rare example within the Yilgarn craton, of a greenstone belt that has been demonstrated to contain prospective high-magnesium komatiite units but has seen no previous nickel exploration. This alone makes this belt a high-priority nickel sulphide exploration target." In addition "Narnoo is a totally covered greenstone belt with existing geological knowledge totally derived from aeromagnetic surveying and limited previous drilling which was focused on gold".......... - Web Site

ANTARES ENERGY INCREASES INTEREST IN KENEDY RANCH
Key Points
Antares Energy has reached agreement to purchase the interest held by IPR (formally Santos USA's interest) in the group "A" acreage (7,087 acres) of the Kenedy Ranch properties. This increases Antares working interest in group A from 5% to 60% and the 50% in Group B (3785 acres) remains unchanged. Antares will assume operatorship. This change will now facilitate the testing of the potential gas sands encountered in the KMF-228-1 well drilled in 2006. An additional exploration well is also planned for drilling early in 2008...... - Web Site

Jean Freeborn-1 spud on 20 September 2007, and has drilled to a depth of 8681 feet. High levels of gas encountered in the Queen City formation precluded drilling to the desired casing depth and required setting the intermediate current at this point. The casing has now been run and cemented to a depth of 8659 feet. We do not believe setting this intermediate casing slightly higher than initially prognosed will affect the forward program for this well.

Chloe - 23.6 metres @ 11.5% zinc/lead/copper
Highlights
Chloe
The Chloe deposit is located in the Einasleigh project area in north Queensland. The Inferred Resource announced in August at Chloe, 1.82 million tonnes containing 5.12% zinc, 2.23% lead, 42 g/t Ag & 0.25% copper, was calculated down to a depth of only 320 metres.
In September, Copper Strike drilled two deep holes to test the extent of the Chloe deposit at depth. As announced in September, CH054 hit a thick zone of semi-massive sulphides approximately 120 metres down-plunge from the nearest drillhole. The true thickness of the intersection is now estimated to be 17-18 metres. Assays have now been received and are shown above. The grade of the intersection was calculated using a cut-off grade of 2% zinc-lead-copper. Using a higher cut-off, the best 17 metre section contained 13.5% zinc-lead-copper. CH053, which was 80 metres above CH054, was unmineralised either because it drilled above the deposit or was not drilled far enough to hit the up-dip extensions.
The Chloe deposit is now known to extend in a down plunge direction for at least 440m from surface, which is an addition of 20-25% to the length used to calculate the current Inferred Resource. The deposit is open in this direction and is still strongly mineralised....... - Web Site

Frogmore - Drill assays up to 6% Cu over 1.5 metres
Assays have been received from the second and third diamond drill holes at the Companys 100% owned Frogmore project, central NSW. Both holes intersected strong copper sulphide mineralisation over several metres in what appear to be two separate mineralised structures. Full assays are provided in the attached table. Copper mineralisation in the Frogmore district occurs as chalcopyrite in veins and breccias with iron sulphides. We believe the style of mineralisation could be similar to some of the copper occurrences in the Cobar belt, in particular the CSA mine. At the White Rock tungsten project, RC percussion drilling has now commenced. The aim of the drill programme is to update and improve the quality of the current Mineral Resource (150,000 tonnes grading 0.9% WO3). ........ - Web Site

Wall Street advanced sharply Tuesday as investors interpreted minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting as indicating the central bank is ready to keep cutting interest rates to boost the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 index reached new record highs.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 2.80 billion shares, up from 2 billion shares on Monday.
Crude oil rose above $80 a barrel in New York as the US dollar declined against the euro.
Lead advanced to a record in London, and other industrial metals also jumped, on speculation miners won't be able to keep up with demand. Lead production will fall short of use by 89,000 metric tons this year and be almost in balance next year, the Lisbon-based International Lead and Zinc Study Group said yesterday.
Gold and silver rose after crude oil rallied and the dollar weakened against the euro, boosting the appeal of the precious metals as hedges against inflation.

OPERATIONS UPDATE
Kennedy #1H
Aurora Oil & Gas Limited (ASX:AUT, "Aurora") advises that at 6am Texas time on 9 October, 2007 the Kennedy #1H exploration well, located in the onshore Gulf Coast Basin in Texas, USA was drilling ahead at a depth of 11,803' (3,598 metres) and preparing to kick off into the horizontal section. The proposed total depth for this well is 17,570 feet Measured Depth.
Sugarloaf-1 Well
Since our last report of 5 October the well has been flow tested but failed to flow. This result is not unexpected because the fracture stimulation was sub-optimal due to premature screen-out and only 6% of the proppant made it into the rock formation.
The Operator has proposed that the zone be re-fracced. If approved by the Joint Venture, this operation will likely take place within 1 to 2 weeks.
Aurora, through its wholly owned US subsidiary Sugarloaf Oil & Gas, LP, has a 20% interest in the Sugarloaf Project which includes the Sugarloaf-1 and Kennedy #1H wells. - Web Site

DRILLING COMMENCES ON THE LITCHFIELD NICKEL PROJECT
Territory Uranium (ASX:TUC) is pleased to advise the Diamond drilling has commenced at its Litchfield Project (~3000/km2 of granted tenements) on EL24984 approximately 100km southwest of Darwin (NT) on the Labelle Downs Station. Drilling is targeting lithologies prospective for Ni, Cr, Cu and PGE mineralisation in a structurally complex terrain.
Three dimensional modelling using existing detailed helicopter magnetometer data (plus TUC ground magnetics) has provided a number of drill targets for testing under covered terrain in an area with little previous exploration. In 2006, the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) assayed old drill core drilled by De Beers and results showed moderately elevated PGE's and up to 1000ppm Ni in ultramafic rock. The NTGS noted the moderate abundance of PGE's may indicate that an early sulphur saturation event did not occur, enhancing the prospectivity for PGE and Ni mineralization in these rocks, and also noted the potential for Sally Malay-style intrusions remains significant in this area. ....... - Web Site

Riddle Number 14 Oil Producer - Web Site
As previously announced by Lakes Oil N.L. ("LKO") during the drilling of Alberton-1, core from the Tertiary black sands were sent for analysis. To date, the results continue to be confusing and vary between biodegraded oil and oil that is so biodegraded that only carbon is left. These results are taken from core only, we intend to take fluid samples when we re-enter the hole to enable further evaluation to take place.
Stage two of Alberton-1 will be completed to approximately 1,000 metres to investigate the potential of tight gas in the Strzelecki Group and possible continuation of sediments containing biodegraded oil.
The drilling of Alberton-1 well was interrupted due to unsuitability of the previous rig and the well terminated in a weathered volcanic seal at a depth of 270 metres. For ease of completion, we may decide to drill Napier High-1 first, before coming back to complete Alberton-1.
The new rig which we have engaged is currently undergoing testing prior to being released to us to drill the Napier High-1 and to complete the Alberton-1 well. We expect to have the rig onsite in November.

Road Show Presentation October 2007
Malachite's Chairman & Managing Director - Dr. Garry Lowder will this week be making a road show presentationSpeaking about the results, Managing Director, Garry Lowder, said:
"These results show just how much metal can be packed into the lodes at Conrad. A cubic metre of ore like the CMDD50 lode intersection would contain nearly $10,000 worth of metal at today's prices. It would take a grade of more than 4 ounces of gold per tonne for a cubic metre of gold-bearing quartz reef to hold as much metal value."
Importantly, the high silver assays are accompanied by excellent base metal and indium results. With lead currently worth more than zinc and the high prices being quoted for copper, tin and indium, the CMDD50 results strongly support the Company's view that significant amounts of very high grade mineralisation like that mined in the past at the Conrad Mine remain to be extracted in the future.

SALT CREEK - MORE HIGH-GRADE GOLD
The Board of Integra Mining Limited (Integra) is pleased to announce further high-grade gold drill intercepts from shallow depths at the Salt Creek gold discovery in the Company's 100% owned Randalls Project. The Company is running out of superlatives to describe this very exciting grass-roots gold discovery as it continues to deliver exceptional results. Wide and high-grade gold intercepts from shallow depths include:
Additionally, geologic observation of RC drill chips for the two southeast most 80-metre spaced drill sections completed to date (drill holes 63 to 66 and 88 to 91 - assays pending) indicates that mineralisation continues to the southeast and a further two 80-metre drill sections have been prepared for RC drilling.
Subsequent to the Company's recent announcement regarding the aircore gold anomaly in the Red Dale tenement, in-fill aircore drilling has been completed on 80-metre spaced lines with 40-metre spaced aircore drill holes. The results from this drilling have confirmed, upgraded and extended the previous aircore gold anomalies. An RC drill rig has commenced first-pass RC drilling of the anomalies with a second RC drill rig expected to commence at Red Dale this week.
A large volume of assay results are pending for RC drilling completed to date at the Salt Creek gold discovery. Unfortunately, assay lab turn-around times have blown-out to four weeks or more and the Company is implementing measures to accelerate return of assay results.
An updated drill collar location map and cross section for Salt Creek and an aircore gold anomaly map for Red Dale are attached.

MINCOR INTERSECTS WIDESPREAD COPPER MINERALISATION AT TOTTENHAM PROJECT, NSW
First Round of Drilling Outlines Substantial and Continuous Zones of Copper Oxide Mineralisation
Kambalda nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) has received a boost to its new project development strategy in Australia, with its initial drilling program at the Tottenham Copper Project in central New South Wales intersecting widespread, shallow copper mineralisation in two separate zones.
Mincor said today (Tuesday) that the results of RC and diamond drilling completed in and around oxide mineralisation outlined by previous explorers had provided good indications of grade continuity within each zone, as well as confirming the potential for high-grade zones.
Best results received to date include 8.5 metres @ 1.03% copper, 3.5 metres @ 7.40% copper, 10 metres @ 0.98% copper, 6 metres @ 2.1% copper and 4 metres @ 1.7% copper (see full table of results overleaf).
The Company secured a 100% interest in the Tottenham Project last year as part of a long-term growth plan aimed at expanding its exploration focus into commodities and geographic regions outside of its core Kambalda operations. The strategy has been successful, with a substantial portfolio of exploration projects acquired over the past 12 months across Australia and, more recently, in the Republic of Ireland...... - Web Site

EXPLORATION PERMIT L44/43
Production
Total production for the Phetchabun Basin permits remains steady at rates above 2,600 bopd. The Na Sanun and Na Sanun East Fields are now producing the major part of this production from the 4 wells POE-9, NS-4, L44-H, and NS-3-D1 at a combined rate of around 2,250 bopd.
L44G-D1 and L44-G Appraisal Well
The Na Sanun East ("NSE") oil field appraisal wells L44G-D1 and L44-G in the northern lobe of the structure, have been perforated and flow tested over 4 and 3 intervals, respectively. Preliminary testing results indicate an oil and gas charged system with tight, low permeability reservoir, with the exception of the lowest tested interval in the structurally lowest well (L44-G) that tested approximately 200 barrels per day of water.
The second test on L44G-D1 flowed minor amounts of oil, approximately 3-4 barrels, with no indications of water, the first test was tight with no influx of any kind. Three additional zones have been perforated above the zone that flowed minor oil with testing to start immediately. Results will be announced in the next few days.
L44-H Appraisal Well
The L44-H well is located in the central lobe of the Na Sanun East ("NSE") oil field, approximately 3.25 kilometres north of the producing NS3-D1 well.
Well testing is continuing and a stable rate of around 1,280 bbls/day has been achieved.
NS8-D1 Development Well
NS8-D1 was a deviated development well drilled to true vertical depth of 886 meters within the southern fault compartment of the NSE oil field. Approximately 31 meters (measured thickness) of the main target volcanic reservoir was penetrated prior to the termination of drilling due to the severity of drilling mud losses into this extremely fractured and permeable volcanic reservoir. Drilling mud losses of 9.2 bbls/hr, 80 bbls/hr and 102 bbls/hr were encountered at 944.2, 956.2 and 977.2 meters measured depth respectively, with total drilling mud losses of approximately 3,100 barrels. Numerous oil shows and high mud gas readings were encountered during drilling. Test results are anticipated within the next 10 days.
NS2-D1 Development Well
NS2-D1 is a deviated development well currently drilling ahead at a true vertical depth of 838 meters within the main volcanic reservoir of the southern fault compartment of the NSE oil field. Drilling continues with mud losses of up to180 bbls/hr into this extremely fractured and permeable volcanic reservoir. Drilling is anticipated to be completed within the next 5 days and testing results are anticipated within 10 days after drilling is completed. - Web Site

STUART PETROLEUM 2007 COOPER/EROMANGA DRILLING PROGRAM
CLEANSWEEP 1
South Australian based oil exploration and production Company, Stuart Petroleum Limited (ASX Code:STU) today announced that the Cleansweep 1 exploration well in PEL 100 will commence drilling on or about 10 October 2007. The well will target un-risked mean oil in place of 4.8 million barrels.
The Managing Director of Stuart Petroleum, Mr Tino Guglielmo said, "The well is the first to be drilled by Stuart in PEL 100 under its farmin agreement with the licence holders. It confirms Stuart's strategy of expanding its Cooper/Eromanga Basin portfolio."
Stuart is funding 100% of the cost of the well to earn a 50% interest in the licence. Stuart will act as Operator for the well and will become Operator of the licence upon completion of the well.
The structure is a relatively simple four way dip closure at the southern end of a structural ridge. The basement is faulted down to the Patchawarra Trough on the southeast flank of the structure, providing a conduit for migrating hydrocarbons from the Permian. Closure is mapped at the top of the Birkhead Formation and at the Top Basement horizons.
Primary oil targets in Cleansweep 1 are the Paning, Birkhead/Hutton and Poolowanna Formations with the Tinchoo Formation as a secondary target. - Web Site

Uranium Update
Thor Mining ("Thor" or the "Company") (AIM, ASX: THR) is pleased to announce an update on current exploration activities on its uranium exploration projects in the Northern Territory of Australia.
The results received from Daicos last month has again focused our attention back on the Harts Ranges with work programs concentrating on two prospect areas, the priority being Daicos where rock chip sampling produced some spectacular results of up to 19% Uranium.
We expect to begin a detailed soil and rock sampling program over Daicos with two objectives, firstly to delineate RC drilling targets and secondly to generate significant geochemical information for use on regional target identification. A program has been planned to cover an area of around 1.5 square kilometres at Daicos.
At Mt Mary, the Indiana prospect contains numerous pegmatites. Rock chip sampling in July returned an average of 220ppm U with a peak of 673ppm U. This area has the potential for large tonnage low grade type U deposits and will be investigated further...... - Web Site

Wall Street finished a quiet session mostly lower Monday as investors cashed in some gains from last week's rally and readied for quarterly corporate earnings reports.
The Treasury bond market was closed for the Columbus Day holiday and there was no major economic news to guide investors.
Trading volumes were low, with many investors on the sidelines for the holiday. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by nearly 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 2 billion shares, down from 2.93 billion shares Friday.
Crude oil dropped more than $2 a barrel for the first time in almost two months as the dollar rebounded against the euro.
LME copper fell by four percent on Monday, triggered by lacklustre demand from China after a week-long holiday there, traders and analysts said.
Gold fell as the dollar rose against major rival currencies.

Spectacular New Results at Conrad Silver Project
Assay results for a further two holes drilled recently at Conrad have been received. The results for both holes are encouraging, with drill hole CMDD50 in particular providing a spectacular intersection, the best to date at Conrad.
Speaking about the results, Managing Director, Garry Lowder, said:
"These results show just how much metal can be packed into the lodes at Conrad. A cubic metre of ore like the CMDD50 lode intersection would contain nearly $10,000 worth of metal at today's prices. It would take a grade of more than 4 ounces of gold per tonne for a cubic metre of gold-bearing quartz reef to hold as much metal value."
Importantly, the high silver assays are accompanied by excellent base metal and indium results. With lead currently worth more than zinc and the high prices being quoted for copper, tin and indium, the CMDD50 results strongly support the Company's view that significant amounts of very high grade mineralisation like that mined in the past at the Conrad Mine remain to be extracted in the future.

MITSUBISHI and MINOTAUR's THIRD JOINT VENTURE BOOROWA, NEW SOUTH WALES
Minotaur Exploration Limited (ASX: MEP) is pleased to announce that Mitsubishi Materials Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation (jointly "Mitsubishi"), have joined the Company in a third joint venture, the Boorowa Joint Venture. The tenements comprise Minotaur's 100% owned Exploration Licences EL6805 and EL6882, and are adjacent to, but independent of, the Cowra Joint Venture tenements involving Minotaur, Gateway Mining and Mitsubishi.
The tenements are located around Boorowa and Cowra (Figure 1) in the southern extension of the Ordovician volcanic belt that hosts the Cadia-Ridgeway copper-gold deposit and are considered prospective for similar porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization as well as volcanic-hosted massive sulphide base metal deposits. Initial work will focus on defining targets from follow up of regional stream and soil geochemical anomalies, a technique that has proved effective on the adjacent Cowra Joint Venture tenements.
Under the terms of the joint venture, Mitsubishi may earn a 32% interest through expenditure of $400,000 and may elect to earn a 49% interest in the project through expenditure of a further $600,000. - Web Site
