Wall Street paused from its big rally Friday, with stocks closing narrowly mixed after the government's November labor report showed tepid job growth as well as a pickup in inflation. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.7 percent.
Advancing issues narrowly outnumbered decliners on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 2.88 billion shares, down from 3.36 billion shares Thursday.
The Dow rose 5.69, or 0.04 percent, to 13,625.58, and finished the week up 1.9 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2.68, or 0.18 percent, to 1,504.66, but ended the week up 1.59 percent.
The technology-dominated Nasdaq composite index eased 2.87, or 0.11 percent, to 2,706.16, but ended the week 1.70 percent higher.
Crude oil fell the most in a week in New York on speculation U.S. fuel inventories are sufficient to meet demand this winter.
U.S. copper futures settled at a one-week high on Friday after U.S. payrolls data for November came in slightly better than forecast, easing some fears of recession and bolstering sentiment.
Gold fell the most in a week after a decline in energy costs reduced the appeal of the precious metal as an inflation hedge. Silver also dropped.

CLONCURRY COPPER PROJECT - PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY
Exco Resources is pleased to announce the commencement of the Cloncurry Copper Project Pre-Feasibility Study (study).
The Cloncurry Copper Project is made up of numerous tenements and mining leases, which host the E1 Camp (Central Region), Great Australia, Monakoff, Kangaroo Rat and Mt Colin (Southern region) and Turpentine deposits (northern region). Resources delineated for the project to date total 34,845,195 tonnes of ore, containing 344,580 tonnes of copper and 347,200 ounces of gold, with further exploration and resource development underway.
The study will focus on options for a 1 to 2Mtpa operation located within Exco's Cloncurry Project areas, which will produce 15-25,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate per annum.
The purpose of the study is to develop engineering designs, cost estimates and sensitivity analyses for selected project options. The study will determine the optimal project capacity and location, and will also address aspects such as mining, ore beneficiation, metallurgy, infrastructure and ore transport scenarios.
GRD Minproc (Minproc) has been awarded the study engineering package and appointed the study managers. Minproc has considerable experience in copper/gold/uranium projects, and an international reputation for successful project delivery. The engineering package will be run in conjunction with an environmental impact study (EIS), which is already underway under the management of AustralAsian Resource Consultants (AARC).
It is anticipated that the Pre-Feasibility Study will be completed by the middle of 2008, providing the basis for a Definitive Feasibility Study in the second half of 2008. - Web Site

Ceasing to be a substantial holder
Contrary to some reports, Marubeni has not sold its 10.3 per cent shareholding in Resource Pacific to Xstrata and has not signed an irrevocable agreement in relation to these shares.
Resource Pacific understands that Xstrata and Marubeni have signed a co-operation deed whereby each party has given the other certain rights and interests. One of these rights enables Marubeni to increase its interest in Resource Pacific to 20 per cent, less one share, in certain circumstances, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.
Clause 3 (Termination) of the co-operation deed states that the restrictions on Marubeni dealing with its Resource Pacific shares terminate if, at the end of the offer period, Xstrata does not have a relevant interest in Resource Pacific of at least 35 per cent, or such lesser percentage as the parties may agree.
Due to the conflict of interest created by the co-operation deed, Resource Pacific has informed its Japanese steel mill and power utility customers that Marubeni is no longer authorised to enter into discussions or arrangements on Resource Pacific's behalf in respect to coal supply, pricing, or contractual matters, during the course of Xstrata's bid. Several key customers have already confirmed they will deal directly with Resource Pacific in future. - Web Site

NQM Negotiates on Gold Mine Acquisition
North Queensland Metals (NQM) announces today that it is in negotiations with Newmont Australia (Newmont) for the acquisition of the Pajingo Gold Mine.
NQM (jointly with another entity) was one of a number of companies that submitted a bid for the assets of the mine. Newmont has informed NQM and its co-bidder that they have been selected as the preferred tenderers at this point. There can be, however, no guarantee that agreement will be reached on the acquisition or the timeframe for completion of those negotiations. Terms and conditions of the proposed transaction with Newmont will be released if and when the transaction documents are finalised and executed.
An acquisition of this nature is consistent with NQM's stated strategy "to broaden its interest and metal base by the acquisition of additional projects either through joint venture or purchase". The Company continues to maintain a program of project generation to identify and evaluate opportunities within North Queensland and elsewhere in Australia whilst remaining focused on the development of the Baal Gammon Copper-Tin project..... - Web Site

Resource Pacific recommends rejection of New Hope bid
Current strategic plan positions company for continued growth
Resource Pacific Holdings Limited (ASX: RSP) today labelled New Hope Corporation's scrip bid for the company 'inadequate and opportunistic'. In its Target's Statement, lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange today, the directors have recommended shareholders to reject the bid.
The Target's Statement, to be mailed to shareholders next week, provides details of Resource Pacific's strategic plan to expand run-of-mine production at its Newpac, Hunter Valley mine to 8 million tonnes per annum by 2010.
Mr Paul Jury, managing director, said: 'There is growing appreciation of Resource Pacific's value, as demonstrated by Xstrata's unsolicited bid for the company yesterday. Newpac is centred on one of the only remaining large high-grade semi-soft coking coal deposits in New South Wales and, with an experienced management team and blue-chip customer base in Asia, Resource Pacific is in a strong position to create additional shareholder value.
'A shareholding in Resource Pacific is a direct independent investment in the coal industry when prices and export demand are strong and are forecast to increase further. New Hope's offer is designed to deprive shareholders of the full value of Newpac, which we are only now starting to unlock. There is no doubt that New Hope has recognised Newpac's high quality and potential and wants to capture this value for itself.' - Web Site

COYOTE GOLD PROJECT - FURTHER PRODUCTION INCREASE
The Directors are pleased to report on the continued operational improvement at the Coyote Gold Project.
Production for the month of November was very pleasing at 3,822 ounces of gold which was 1,065 ounces above budget. This week's pour was a record 1,185 ounces of gold.
In November the plant treated 21,274 tonnes of gold ore at an average grade of 5.9 grams per tonne recovering 3,822 ounces at an average recovery of 92.6 percent.
The ore treated for the month included a small parcel of ore from the high grade Gonzales lode with the overall recovered grade from Pit 2 exceeding budget.
Development of the underground is underway with the underground crew, underground equipment and stores either on site or mobilising to site. Mining of the open pit has now exposed the portal position and geotechnical conditions are as expected.
Construction of the new camp and the second tails dam is well advanced. It is expected that all of the accommodation units will be on site before Christmas.
Installation of the new leach tanks is progressing on schedule and will be commissioned well in advance of the treatment of the high grade underground ore. The new leach tanks will provide a significant increase in leach residence time which is aimed at increasing gold recoveries to a minimum 97%. - Web Site

Stocks rallied on Thursday as investors welcomed the White House's subprime mortgage-relief plan.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 4 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 3.36 billion shares, down from 3.55 billion Wednesday.
President Bush laid out three ways for people to get help that can afford their current starter mortgage rate, but would not be able to afford the higher payments when their mortgage rate resets higher:
Foreclosures hit a record high in the third quarter, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
The Bank of England cut interest rates to 5.5 per cent, from 5.75 per cent, today after growing signs that the UK economy is slowing. The BoE's decision came just two days after the Bank of Canada eased interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.25 per cent.
However, the European Central Bank (ECB) left interest rates on hold at 4.0 per cent overnight citing inflationary pressures.
Crude oil futures rose $2.74 a barrel in New York after U.S. inventories dropped as refiners prepared to meet heating demand.
Copper inventories on the LME fell 1,025 tons, or 0.5 percent, to 187,750 tons - enough for less than four days of world use. The metal gained $30 to $6,725 a ton.
Lead fell to a five-month low in London on speculation an Australian pit with the capacity to account for as much as 3 percent of world mine supply will restart production.
Gold and silver rose after the dollar fell against the euro.

Valhalla-1 ST1 Update
Operations Since Last Report: Subsequent to the loss of the bottom hole assembly reported last week, it was necessary to sidetrack Valhalla-1 (from 912mMD) as Valhalla-1 ST1. The well has since been deepened to 1224m but the rig is continuing to experience mechanical problems, slowing progress.
Current Operations: Pulling out of hole at 1224mMD due to downhole LWD tool failure.
Hydrocarbon indications: None in sidetrack.
Comment: The presence of oil shows from 110m to 925mMD in Valhalla-1 remains encouraging for the deeper primary objectives. They indicate that hydrocarbons have migrated to the Valhalla structure. - Web Site

Gippsland's move onto the premier German securities exchange follows the Company's recent success in securing a 10-year tantalum offtake agreement with the German major HC Starck GmbH, which considerably increased German investor interest in the Company and its world scale 40 million tonne Abu Dabbab tantalum project.
Germany is a powerhouse of world trade and a leader in many aspects of industry and technology, particularly in regard to tantalum, and the listing will ensure Gippsland is placed to take full advantage of its unique position in the tantalum supply chain.
Having a EURO based trading platform in Frankfurt will also provide better exposure and involvement with the wider European investor base. - Web Site

Drilling Report (NW Paua 1, Salma-1,). 6 December 2007
WELL NAME: NW Paua 1, PNG
Oil Search reports that rigging up operations at the NW Paua 1 exploration well are nearing completion and the well is scheduled to commence drilling in the next few days.
NW Paua 1 is located in PDL 5, five kilometres north east of the Moran oil field and six kilometres north west of Paua 1x. NW Paua 1 is designed to test a structurally higher back limb location on the Paua anticline. Paua 1x was drilled on the steeply dipping and faulted fore limb of the Paua anticline in the mid 1990s and encountered oil shows in the Toro Sandstone and recovered oil from the Iagifu Sandstone.
NW Paua 1 is targeting the Toro and Digimu sandstones in a seismicallydefined hanging wall structure. The planned total depth of the well is 3,377 metres.
WELL NAME: Salma-1, Egypt
Oil Search reports that the Salma-1 well commenced drilling on 29 November. As at 0600 hrs Egyptian time (+2 hrs GMT) on 5 December, the well was at a depth of 506 metres and drilling ahead in a 121/4" hole.
The Salma prospect is a high risk/high reward stratigraphic trap located some five kilometres west of Raheek-1, in the East Ras Qattara concession, Western Desert, Egypt. The well is targeting the Bahariya, Kharita and, for the first time in the East Ras Qattara programme, the Alam el Boueib formation, which is a prolific reservoir elsewhere in the Western Desert of Egypt. The planned total depth of the well is 3681 metres.
WELL NAME: West Ghobata-1, Yemen
Oil Search reports that during the week, testing operations continued on the West Ghobata-1 well. Test #2 within the Sabatayn Formation flowed oil but at sub-commercial rates. As at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+2 hrs GMT) on 5 December, the testing programme was ongoing.
West Ghobata-1 is located 2.5 kilometres southwest of the Ghobata-1 well, in Block 49 in Yemen. - Web Site

Company Update
MEHDIABAD PROJECT EARN-IN
Union Resources Limited ("Union" or "the Company") is focused on the development of the Mehdiabad Zinc-Lead-Silver Project located in Central Iran ("the Project").
The Project is carried on by Union, the Iranian Government body Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organisation ("IMIDRO") and Iranian company Itok GmbH ("Itok") through an incorporated Iranian joint venture company, Mehdiabad Zinc Company ("MZC").
On 7 December 2006 Union announced that IMIDRO had purported to terminate the agreements governing the Project. At that time, and subsequently, Union has asserted that the purported termination of the Agreements is invalid. Subsequent to receipt of the purported termination notice Union has endeavored, and continues to endeavor, to negotiate a settlement of the dispute in order that development of the Project can continue.
One of the Project agreements which IMIDRO purported to terminate was the "Basic Agreement" between Union, IMIDRO and Itok. The Basic Agreement provides that upon Union and Itok contributing US$10million in project expenditure between them they shall be entitled to that proportion of 50% in the Project represented by their expenditure. Further, IMIDRO must then elect whether to contribute equally with Union and Itok in respect of further Project expenditure, or have its 50% equity in the Project diluted in proportion to further Project expenditure contributed by Union and Itok.
Union has now received notification that Project expenditure by it and Itok of US$9,695,992 and US$463,179.19 respectively has been approved by the MZC Board. Whilst the sum of $US$9,695,992 represents only part of what Union claims is its legitimate Project expenditure, the significance of the MZC Board's determination is that it constitutes formal recognition that Union and Itok have met their initial "earn-in" expenditure commitment under the Project agreements. The effect of this is that Union is entitled to have its Project expenditure through MZC converted to an approximately 47.7% equity in MZC (with Itok entitled to an approximately 2.3% equity). This will prove to be of significant benefit if a resolution of the current dispute can be achieved..... - Web Site

Media Release : Australian Company in San Francisco International Airport Breakthrough for Shuttles to run on Hythane
Australian listed company, Eden Energy Limited (ASX: "EDE") today announced another significant breakthrough in the international development of its patented alternative motor vehicle fuel, Hythane
Eden said it was announced in Denver, Colorado today that San Francisco International Airport - in conjunction with Hythane Company (a subsidiary of Perth-based Eden Energy) and BAF Technologies - had received a $499,800 grant to acquire 14 parking lot, hotel, and airline crew shuttles to run on Hythane fuel (a blend of 20% hydrogen and 80% natural gas).
The award represents half of a special Bay Area Air Quality Management District grant set aside for advanced technology demonstration programs. This grant will facilitate the replacement of existing gasoline-powered and diesel-powered airport shuttles with Hythane versions of the shuttles which are expected to dramatically decrease emissions.
Specifically, the Hythane fuelled shuttles are expected to reduce nitrous oxides by 56%, non-methane hydrocarbons by 30% and carbon dioxide by 40% over the existing versions. The Hythane model is also expected to outperform comparable natural gas shuttles by emitting 30% less hydrocarbons and 20% less carbon dioxide...... - Web Site

Schwing-2 Drilling Update
Schwing #2 Well, South Grosse Tete, Iberville Parish, South Louisiana Drilling ahead at 6,437 feet - FAR (0-14,500 feet 5%)(>14,500 feet 17.7%)
We have been advised that since our last report on 27 November 2007, 13 3/8" surface casing has been run and the well has been deepened from 3,007 feet to 6,437 feet. Current operations at the well comprise drilling ahead.
The Schwing #2 well is a deviated 14,500 foot Nodosaria test in which FAR has a 5% working interest (for depths between surface and 14,500 feet).
The Schwing #2 well has been engineered in a manner to enable deepening to test the Wilcox formation if the shallower objectives fail to yield a commercial result. The well is targeting gas and is expected to take 52 days at an estimated completed cost of US$6 million. FAR has retained its full 17.7 percent rights below 14,500 feet and will determine its level of participation in any deepening if and when a firm proposal is made.
A potential bail out zone has been mapped at Bolmex horizon at approximately 11,800 feet. This zone is considered lower risk and may assist in defraying well costs.
The project is being operated by Spartan Operating Company, Inc. FAR's interest is subject to a back-in of 25% after cost recovery is achieved on a full project basis. Other participants include ASX listed Amadeus Energy Limited (AMU). - Web Site

Chairman`s Address to Shareholders
....At the last Annual General Meeting on 30 May 2007 and at a follow-up Special General Meeting on 27 September 2007, the story I presented to Shareholders was grim. Despite the great improvements introduced at the Kainantu Mine by the new management headed by Managing Director, John Gooding, we appeared to be heading for deeper and deeper trouble. In fact, we faced the real possibility of the Kainantu problems bringing the Company down.
I am pleased to report, Ladies and Gentlemen, that there has been a dramatic change in the Company's fortunes. Subject to shareholder endorsement and the necessary governmental approvals, the Kainantu Mine and the adjacent Exploration Leases will be sold to Placer Dome Oceania Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation) for US$141.5 million. The end result would be that the gold hedge book will be closed out, all debts will be cleared and Highlands will have approximately US$30 million in cash to start afresh.....
And what will Highlands look like after Kainantu is sold, and what can our shareholders look forward to?
Highlands will retain its current interest in its two world-class resource projects at Ramu and Frieda; it will have no debt and it will have approximately US$30 million to underpin John Gooding's future programs. This is a "new beginning" that most mining explorers could only dream about!
At Ramu, we have an 8.6% interest in a world scale nickel-cobalt project, carried to first production and with the opportunity of boosting this equity to 20.55%. MCC have already spent over US$150 million at Ramu, and first production is expected in late 2009. At current metal prices, Highlands' share of initial revenue should be about US$100 million annually.
At the Frieda River copper gold project, Highlands has 16.22% interest carried to bankable feasibility study. To provide an indication of scale, the Frieda depot is estimated to contain 7.5 million tones of copper and 14.3 million ounces of gold. Xstrata is working very hard to make a success of Frieda.
And as a purely gold play, Highlands will retain its exploration tenement at Bulolo / Wau where very attractive gold grades have turned up in trenching and in widely spaced drilling at the Kobiak and Yangalemu prospects. This work was carried out some ten years ago, and we are now dusting off the files in the light of today's near-record gold prices......- Web Site

New Resource Estimate Confirms Tampakan`s World Class Status
The release overnight of a new mineral resource estimate by Xstrata Copper confirms the world- class status of, and Xstrata's commitment to, the Tampakan Copper-Gold Project in the southern Philippines, according to Richard Laufmann, CEO of Indophil Resources NL.
The announcement now ranks the Tampakan project as "the largest development project in Xstrata Copper's portfolio." Further, Xstrata says Tampakan "has excellent potential to make a substantial contribution to Xstrata Copper's growth profile."
Mr Laufmann added: "Xstrata Copper has a clear and aggressive growth strategy over the next five years, requiring nearly one million tonnes of annual copper production derived from greenfield projects like Tampakan."
An aggressive drill program emphasising sterilisation and resource validation totalling 24,700 metres in 2007 has confirmed the quality of the Tampakan deposit. It has resulted in a 10% increase in resource tonnage and contained copper at Tampakan.
The new resource estimate reveals that the Mineral resource has increased significantly with the accumulation of new drilling data, resulting in the category of Inferred resources being largely upgraded to the superior categories of Measured and Indicated, with significant volumes of Exploration Potential having been upgraded to the resource category. The Tampakan resource remains open in all directions.
Indophil has recently lifted its stake in the Tampakan project from 32.5% to 34% with agreements in place to increase that stake over time to 37.5%. - Web Site

ROE HILLS NICKEL JOINT VENTURE
CVRD INCO DIAMOND DRILLING
Oroya Mining Limited's joint venture partner CVRD INCO has commenced the precollars for a diamond drilling program at the Roe Hills Project, 85 kilometres east of Kambalda in Western Australia.
The drill holes will be pre-collared by reverse circulation drilling to depths up to 200 metres during the next two weeks. Over 1,100 metres of NQ diamond drill ‘tails,' using a dedicated diamond drilling rig, are planned to test the target zones in late January 2008.
Strike extensions of nickel sulphides intersected at the Talc Lake Prospect in previous drilling will be tested to a maximum planned hole depth of 270 metres. Targets are located on the basal contacts of komatiitic ultramafic units and other structural surfaces.
Five holes will test a large Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) anomaly over a strike length of 600 metres, to maximum depths of up to 300 metres. Modelling of electomagnetic data shows discrete steeply dipping target zones which may represent nickel sulphide lodes.
Another anomaly was considered for drill testing but requires additional electromagnetic surveying. - Web Site

Response to Xstrata Bid
Value in Resource Pacific
Resource Pacific Holdings Limited (ASX:RSP) today advised shareholders to take no action in relation to Xstrata's announcement that it intends to launch a $2.85 per share takeover bid for the company.
‘The Resource Pacific board will consider this unsolicited bid in detail and will make a formal recommendation to our shareholders in due course,' said Mr Paul Jury, managing director. ‘We see a lot of value in our Newpac, Hunter Valley mine and any shareholder who exits now will lose the opportunity to benefit from this value by remaining a shareholder or accepting any higher offer that may emerge.
‘It is clear Xstrata understands that Newpac, which is the last remaining high quality semi- soft coking coal resource in New South Wales, is a very valuable asset.
‘We are on the cusp of unlocking substantial value for our shareholders. The second phase of our growth plan, on which we are now embarking, will increase run-of-mine production to 8 million tonnes per annum in 2010 to coincide with the planned expansion of rail and port infrastructure. The issue our board will consider is whether Xstrata's bid takes this value into account and provides adequate compensation to shareholders at a time when export coal demand and prices are at record levels and forecast to rise further.
‘This is the third unsolicited attempt to seize control of Resource Pacific and deprive shareholders of its future value. These attempts clearly demonstrate growing appreciation of the high quality of Newpac and its significant value.' - Web Site

Shareholder update - December 2007
As we approach the end of 2007 the Company is on track for completing a bankable feasibility study (BFS) for the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Projects (WZP).
Albeit we are a relatively newly publicly listed company having completed our IPO in January 2004, we will shortly make our first project development decision at the completion of the BFS. Importantly, we see the current market capitalisation of the Company as a great starting point to build a substantial business for shareholders such that the business becomes more than the WZP through a series of strategic alliances and networks formed over time. In the July Shareholder Update we outlined a five-year pathway to build the market capitalisation of the Company, with stage one being the delivery of a BFS for the key WZP.
Through the progress made over the last number of months we will deliver the BFS in the first quarter of 2008...... - Web Site

Wall Street rallied Wednesday (Dow up almost 200 points) after new data showed the overall economy is holding up but isn't too strong to prevent the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates.
ADP Employer Services said 189,000 jobs were added during the month - an increase that bodes well for consumer spending.
In addition the Bush administration has hammered out an agreement to freeze interest rates for certain subprime mortgages for five years to combat a soaring tide of foreclosures, congressional aides said Wednesday.
Advancing issues led decliners by a nearly 3 to 1 basis on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 3.55 billion shares, up from 3.22 billion Tuesday.
A resumption of the downtrend in oil prices also contributed to the gains on Wall Street.
OPEC decided Wednesday to keep production steady but set a new meeting for Feb. 1 to raise output if prices rise. Meanwhile, the government reported that U.S. oil supplies fell steeply last week while gasoline stockpiles rose, both by greater margins than analysts had expected.
Copper rose, snapping a two-day slump, after a private report (ADP Employer Services) showed the U.S. added more jobs in November than forecast, easing concern that the economy is slowing.
Gold fell as the dollar rebounded against the euro.

FIRST YOUANMI DRILLHOLE INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE GOLD
MINERALISATION INTERSECTED 200 METRES DOWN DIP FROM PREVIOUS DRILLING
Apex Minerals NL (ASX:AXM) is pleased to announce positive results from its first drill hole at the Youanmi Gold Mine in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia (Figure 1). The hole, AYMD1 intersected several zones of mineralisation, including what is interpreted to be the down dip continuation of the main Youanmi lode, comprising:
This intersection is considered to be particularly significant as it is situated 200 metres down dip from the nearest previous drill hole, and approximately 100 metres beyond the limits of the existing resource model (Figures 2 & 3), confirming that the main Youanmi lode continues at depth and remains open. The grade and width of the intersection are similar to that encountered in previous drilling and mining operations, which extended to a depth of 600m below surface......- Web Site

Don Juan CSG Joint Venture engages Reserves Certifiers
The directors of Bow Energy Limited (Bow) are pleased to advise that the Don Juan CSG (Coal Seam Gas) Joint Venture (Bow 45% and operator) has engaged MHA Petroleum Consultants in Denver (MHA) as advisers and reserves certifiers. .
The Joint venture will work closely with MHA to determine the optimum and most cost effective testing, data collection and evaluation program for the Don Juan CSG Joint venture to be carried out in 2008 with the goal of obtaining maximum commercial gas reserves certification by the end of 2008.
Oralla North-1 Operational Update
As of 8.00 am this morning, the Oralla North-1 CSG exploration well was at 230 metres depth after drilling out from casing point at 135 metres. Between 135 and 230 metres an estimated 9 metres of coal have been intersected including a continuous 3 metre seam.
With a prognosed total depth of 420 metres, the Orallo North-1 well has been designed to determine coal thickness, estimate gas contents and assess the dewatering capability of the coals in the area.
The Joint Venture will case and suspend the initial exploration wells as future pilot production holes in order to carry out flow and production testing. Assuming positive repilot wells, a process of reserve certification should commence early in 2008. - Web Site

Ball Mills Ordered for the Zheng Guang Gold and Zinc Project
Leyshon Resources Limited ("Leyshon") (AIM & ASX: LRL) is pleased to announce that it has placed orders for the manufacture and delivery of two ball mills at a total cost of US$2 million for its Zheng Guang gold zinc project Heilongjiang, northeast China.
Following extensive negotiations with China's major ball mill suppliers the order has been placed with Shenyang Heavy Machinery Group one of China's largest engineering groups based in the neighbouring province of Jilin.
The 4.6 metre diameter 750,000 tonnes per annum capacity mills are amongst the largest of their type to be manufactured in China and the first is scheduled to be delivered in August 2008 for the oxide circuit and the second in September 2009 for the sulphide circuit.
The total cost of RMB 15 million (US$2.03 million dollars) spread over 2 years is in line with budget estimates and compares very favourably with that for overseas manufactured and supplied mills. The del ivery time of 8 months, is less than a third of that being quoted for some international projects.
The commercial terms include free installation, a 10% retainer for quality assurance and in the case of any delay a penalty of 1% of the total value of the contract will be deducted for each week delivery of the mill is delayed.
In addition to the order of the ball mills, the local power authority, Nenjiang Power Bureau, has been contracted to engineer the supply of 10 MW of electrical power from the local grid via 35KV high voltage overhead transmission lines.
Heilongjiang is an energy rich province with abundant coal and gas supplies. State Grid, the provincial power authority, is expanding its installed electrical generating capacity by 80% to 2.2 terawatts (million megawatts) by 2010.
The province enjoys an average price of electricity half of that in China's southern provinces and as a result the company expects to be able to negotiate a very attractive power tariff compared with international standards.
Leyshon's Project Manager Dr Ye Dong Ping and the project construction team continue to work closely with Chanchung Design Institute with a view to having the engineering design completed in first quarter 2008.
An important step in the mining licence application has been achieved with approval of the layout of the open pit, process plant and tailings dam by the department of lands and resources (DOLAR). The various other approval processes are well advanced and a number of the required reports and studies have been submitted by various consultancies and approved by the relevant authorities.
The project benefits from being located in a well established coal and copper mining community with excellent infrastructure including a rail connection to the national network, grid power, water and a range of mining contractor services.
The project is expected to benefit further from the recently announced US$8 bil lion planned infrastructure investment by the provincial government in the surrounding area.
The Company remains fully engaged in China with its Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer based in the main operating office in Beijing. Its policy of full engagement with the local community is bearing fruit as negotiations with local farmers and other affected parties for land acquisition and access are well advanced and progressing well.
The Company has cash on hand of US$15,000,000. - Web Site

Letter to Shareholders re New Hope Bid
You will be receiving New Hope Corporation's bidder's statement. Your board is currently evaluating the bid in detail and we will send you shortly our formal recommendation with our target's statement. Meanwhile, we advise you to take no action.
Our present view is that the bid fails by a substantial margin to recognise Resource Pacific's growth potential and future value. Our Newpac coal mine is a high quality asset, with a 28 year mine life at its 2008 production rate. We have strong relationships with blue chip coal importers in Asia which have committed to buy 100% of our 2008 saleable production at premium prices. We also have a robust plan to double run-of-mine production to coincide with an expected increase in port capacity, and this will result in significant revenue growth and cash generation. ....... - Web Site

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ANNOUNCED AT RAGLAN
Exploration results at Xstrata Nickel's Raglan operation in northern Quebec have confirmed Zone 5-8 as the largest mineralized zone in Raglan's history, adding an estimated 4.5 million tonnes of inferred resources in 2007, up from the 2 million tonnes of resources previously announced.
In August 2007 Xstrata Nickel announced plans to increase mine production at Raglan to over two million tonnes of ore per annum. Work is currently under way to increase production to 1.3 million tonnes per annum by the end of 2008 and additional infrastructure is expected to be implemented to allow a further expansion to reach 1.5 million tonnes by 2011 and potentially double current production by 2013. After the expansion, Raglan will be one of the largest nickel mines in the world, with output approaching 50,000 tonnes of contained nickel-in-concentrate per annum, together with copper and platinum group metal (PGM) by-products.....- Web Site
XSTRATA COPPER CONFIRMS A WORLD CLASS MINERAL RESOURCE AT THE TAMPAKAN COPPER-GOLD PROJECT IN THE PHILIPPINES
Xstrata Copper announces that the Mineral Resource estimate for the world-class Tampakan copper-gold project in the Philippines has been increased by over 10% in both tonnes and contained copper, consolidating Tampakan's position as one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits in South East Asia.
The upgraded Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource totals 2.2 billion tonnes at a grade of 0.6% copper and 0.2 grams per tonne gold and contains 12.8 million tonnes of copper and 15.2 million ounces of gold using a 0.3% copper cut-off grade. The Mineral Resource, which includes 24,700 metres of drilling conducted in 2007, also includes estimated average grades for molybdenum of 70 parts per million (ppm).
This is the first resource estimate published by Xstrata Copper since it assumed management control of Tampakan in March 2007 through its Philippines based affiliate Sagittarius Mines, Inc. The previous Mineral Resource estimate of 2 billion tonnes at 0.6% copper, using the same cut-off grade, was published in April 2006. - Web Site
XSTRATA COPPER AND BECHTEL SIGN STRATEGIC ALLIANCE TO FAST TRACK PROJECT PIPELINE
Xstrata Copper and engineering, construction and project management company Bechtel have joined forces in a strategic alliance, which will facilitate the development of Xstrata Copper's pipeline of copper projects.
The agreement covers the provision by Bechtel of engineering, procurement, construction and construction management services in relation to a series of potential copper mines, concentrators and related mineral processing facilities. Under this alliance, Bechtel will also contract personnel to Xstrata Copper to assist the company in the development of certain projects.
The strategic alliance also involves the innovative concept of designing a replicable copper concentrator and other facilities that could be applied to Xstrata Copper's individual projects. This will enable the early ordering of long lead time items and reduce the engineering time and costs on individual projects. It will also provide construction efficiencies. - Web Site

STOKES BAY-1 ACTIVITY UPDATE
Stokes Bay-1, Onshore Canning Basin, Western Australia (FAR 8%)
FAR has been advised by the operator, ARC Energy Limited, that since the last report on 23 November 2007 it has suspended the testing of Stokes Bay-01 and removed all contractors and equipment from the site following recent rainfall.
As was anticipated, the onset of seasonal rain has limited the safe access to the well, due to the low-lying terrain around the well site. The access track and well site have become temporarily unsuitable for the safe operation of heavy oilfield equipment.
The timely testing of the Stokes Bay-1 well is a priority, and the operator plans to recommence the Stokes Bay well testing programme as soon as safe access is available at the end of the wet season, anticipated to be around April 2008.
The nature of the reservoir fluid and the source of pressure within the reservoir remain undetermined. Should the well be commercially productive better access facilities would be constructed to allow year round production.
The next update on Stokes Bay-01 well will be issued when testing of the well recommences. - Web Site

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 7 to 4 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.33 billion shares.
Crude oil fell $1.10 to $88.21 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange amid speculation that OPEC will raise production Wednesday and after a U.S. intelligence report concluded Iran halted its nuclear weapons development program in 2003.
Copper fell for a second day on concern the fallout from losses on subprime mortgages and a squeeze on lending will stifle U.S. economic growth and curb demand for metals.
Gold rose for the second straight day on speculation the Federal Reserve will cut U.S. borrowing costs, weakening the dollar and boosting the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also gained.

CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS TO GENERAL MEETING 4 DECEMBER 2007
In my address to shareholders at last week's Annual General Meeting I referred to the Company's significant achievements during 2007, which included the restructuring of the ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine. Ultimately Beaconsfield Gold acquired approximately 90% of Allstate Explorations N L, its joint venture partner in the mine. This has seen Beaconsfield Gold's interest in the mine increase to around 95%.
One of the essential steps in the ownership restructure was removing the Allstate group companies from administration. As part of that process Beaconsfield Gold agreed to arrange novation of, or to pay out, the Allstate group's gold hedging contracts held with Macquarie Bank Limited, with novation being Beaconsfield Gold's preferred option.
By late October 2007, with continued and rapid strengthening of the gold price, the Company's banker was showing reluctance to take on the Allstate out-of-the-money hedge contracts through novation and to further extend the Company's own hedge book.
At that point the Beaconsfield Gold Board resolved to close out the group's entire hedge position and to finance the close-out by an equity raising.
We will now reap the benefit of having all future production from the Beaconsfield Mine sold at spot price, which is presently close to A$900 per ounce, rather than having a proportion delivered into forward contracts which, when closed out, averaged less than A$650 per ounce.
The Company's banker, CBA, as part of a total funding package, provided short term bridging finance to partly fund the close out of hedging positions.
The purpose of this meeting
The purpose of this meeting is explained in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Notes, and my earlier comments were intended to set out the background to the proposed share placement.
Shareholder approval for today's resolution will give the Company the necessary flexibility over the next three months to reduce the CBA facilities as deemed appropriate.
As I said at last week's AGM, the re-commissioning phase for mining at Beaconsfield is due to end later this week with the recommencement of stoping in the high grade western zone of the mine. This will return the mine to positive cash flow after the long period of negative cash flow experienced during the mining suspension and recommissioning.
The number of shares that may be issued and the pricing of those shares have not been determined and will depend, amongst other things, on the level of cash flow that the Mine generates in coming months.

Stokes Bay-1 Update
Further to the ASX release of 23 November 2007, ARC as the operator of the EP104/R1 Joint Venture, advises that it has suspended the testing of Stokes Bay-1 and removed all contractors and equipment from the site following recent rainfall.
As was anticipated, the onset of seasonal rain has limited the safe access to the well, due to the low-lying terrain around the well site. The access track and well site have become temporarily unsuitable for the safe operation of heavy oilfield equipment.
The timely testing of the Stokes Bay-1 well is a priority, and ARC Energy plans to recommence the Stokes Bay well testing programme as soon as safe access is available at the end of the wet season, anticipated to be around April 2008.
The nature of the reservoir fluid and the source of pressure within the reservoir remain undetermined. Should the well be commercially productive better access facilities would be constructed to allow year round production.
The next update on Stokes Bay-1 well will be issued when testing of the well recommences. - Web Site

AWE reaches production milestone at Tui Area Oil Project
AWE Ltd's 42.5 per cent owned Tui Area Oil Project off New Zealand's Taranaki coast, has produced its 5 millionth barrel of oil, approximately four months after production started on July 30, 2007.
The Tui Area Oil Project is located in PMP 38158, in the offshore Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. AWE is the largest participant and is the Operator of the project.
The Tui project has quickly become AWE's flagship operation with gross production in the last 10 days averaging approximately 47,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd).
Recent modifications to the floating production vessel Umuroa, have allowed daily production rates to increase to around 50,000 barrels a day.
Since the start of production a total of 15 shipments of crude oil have been lifted, totalling 4.5 million barrels. The 16th crude oil lifting is scheduled for Wednesday of this week.
The strong field performance since the start of production has encouraged AWE to revise the Tui project's oil production target for the year to June 30, 2008 from 10 million barrels to approximately 11 million barrels.
Apart from exceeding early production performance expectations the strong reservoir performance within the Tui project has also allowed the joint venture partners to dramatically increase the project's reserves base.
Last month proved and probable (2P) reserves in the Tui Area Oil Project were upgraded to 41.7 million barrels, almost 50% higher than the estimated reserves of 27.9 million barrels on which the project was sanctioned.
Water is being produced from the field, but at substantially lower rates than expected from earlier field simulations..... - Web Site

MILESTONES FOR TUI AND KUPE PROJECTS
New Zealand Oil and Gas Limited is welcoming notable milestones in its two Taranakibased projects, Tui and Kupe. The company is also actively assessing the on-shore Taranaki blocks offer just released by the New Zealand Government.
Today the 5 millionth barrel of oil has been produced from the Tui Area Oil Project off the Taranaki coast. Production from the field began on 30 July and this milestone has been achieved in just over four months. Recent technical modifications to the production facility have allowed daily production rates to increase to around 50,000 barrels a day. Last month proved and probable (2P) reserves in the Tui Area Oil Fields were upgraded by the operator to 41.7 million barrels, almost 50% higher than the estimated reserves of 27.9 million barrels on which the project was sanctioned.
Over the weekend the "topsides" of the offshore platform for the Kupe Project arrived at Port Taranaki from Thailand. The large steel structure will be installed on the jacket (legs of the platform), which are now in place in the Kupe Central Field, 30km off the South Taranaki coast. The Project's three production wells will be drilled over the coming months and the Kupe project remains on target for production by mid-2009.
Today the New Zealand Government opened an onshore Taranaki Basin Blocks offer. Nine petroleum blocks are being offered, representing a total area of 3,200 square kilometres. NZOG has already undertaken preliminary assessments of the blocks and is actively considering participation in the bidding round. NZOG believes there is good remaining prospectivity in the Taranaki basin. - Web Site

Wall Street fell Monday, led by financial services stocks, on concerns that the U.S. economy's expansion will erode amid troubles in the mortgage industry. Fed Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren said in a speech that he was concerned that home foreclosures might worsen as overall economic growth slows.
Declining issues outpaced advancers by a 4 to 3 basis on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.23 billion shares from 4.25 billion on Friday.
Copper fell the most in more than a week on speculation that easing economic growth will erode demand in the U.S.
Lead fell the most in more than a week in London on speculation Ivernia Inc., a company with capacity equivalent to 3 percent of global mine supply, may resume production in Western Australia. Zinc also declined.
Gold rose after a decline in the value of the US dollar against the euro boosted the appeal of the metal as an alternative investment. Silver also rose.

Exploration update
Akoko Project
Soil sampling has commenced testing the 10 strike kilometres north of the recently discovered Akoko mineralisation. This is the first ever sampling of this area and initial results should be available in late December. An area of active artisanal gold mining was observed in the northern portion of the project area.
Preparations for the second phase of RC drilling at Akoko are well advanced and the drill contractor has advised an estimated start date of late December. Drilling in September reported a significant intercept of 52m @ 1.16g/t gold from surface at Akoko with the adjacent hole (collared 50m to the east) reporting 4m @ 4.09g/t gold from 6m and 20m @ 0.89g/t gold from 57m down hole. The forthcoming ~3,000m RC program should be completed by mid January with first results expected shortly after.
Sapelliga Project
RC drilling is expected to commence mid December, testing the T1 and T2 targets including the trench result of 23m @ 0.97g/t gold (including an interval of 15m @ 1.24g/t gold) from the T2 target.
Drill results are expected to be received early in the new year.
Wa Project
The 8,200 km2 Wa project was acquired from Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (NGGL) in November 2007. An extensive sampling and mapping program is being planned to commence in the new year. Areas to be tested will include the area immediately along strike from the 300,000 ounce Julie gold deposit and numerous stream sediment anomalies identified during NGGL's wide spaced reconnaissance sampling program.
Ducie Project
Sampling on six regionally spaced traverses (three to ten km apart) has reported values up to 150 ppb gold. Ducie represents an attractive grass roots exploration target. Follow- up sampling is planned to commence immediately following the Wa Project sampling. - Web Site

HC Starck Tantalum Offtake Press Release
Conclusion of contract with Australian mining company
H.C. Starck expanding raw material supply base for tantalum
Goslar, 23 November 2007; H.C. Starck GmbH, Goslar, one of the world's most important producers of tantalum metal, today announced that it had concluded a long-term contract on the purchase of tantalum raw materials with Tantalum Egypt JSC, an enterprise in which the Australian mining company Gippsland Limited in Perth/Australia has an indirect interest with a 50 % stake.
Tantalum Egypt JSC holds the mining rights for the Abu Dabbab exploration area in Egypt. The contract has a term of 10 years and comprises a volume of 600,000 lbs / Ta2O5 per year.
"The contract is a solid cornerstone of our raw material strategy and enables H.C. Starck to continue to be a reliable partner at all times for our customers on the basis of a sound supply source," commented Dr. Heinz Heumüller, chairman of the executive board, on the agreement.
The conclusion of this contract not only constitutes an expansion of its tantalum raw material base for H.C. Starck, but is rather also to be seen as a commitment to the tantalum-processing industry that H.C. Starck is equipped for long-term involvement in the tantalum market.
Tantalum metal powder is an indispensable intermediate for the production of capacitors without which modern cell phones, laptops or flat screens would not be possible. H.C. Starck is particularly a specialist for high capacitance tantalum powders which are above all indispensable for the latest generation of modern electronic appliances. In combination with the conductive polymer BAYTRON®, H.C. Starck offers the worldwide capacitor industry a unique product portfolio. - Web Site

BASS BASIN, T/47P - START OF 3D SEISMIC ACQUISITION
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap"), as operator of T/47P, advises that acquisition of the Labatt 3D Marine Seismic Survey commenced on the 1st December 2007. A total of approximately 517 sqkm of full fold data will be acquired by the PGS vessel M/V Pacific Explorer. The survey is estimated to take approximately 30 days to complete.
Tap Comment
The primary aim of the Labatt 3D Seismic Survey is to mature the prospectivity of the western side of T/47P where the existing 2D seismic data has shown a number of potential structures in the vicinity of the Cormorant-1 well, which encountered oil in 1970.
Final seismic volumes from the survey will be available for interpretation in the second quarter of 2008 and a rig has already been secured for two wells to be drilled early in 2009.
Tap is very pleased to be rapidly progressing the work programme of T/47P, which was only awarded in March 2007. - Web Site
