Stocks finished on the downside Friday after a jump in consumer inflation raised concerns about how much freedom the Federal Reserve has to continue cutting interest rates. Concerns emerged after the Labor Department reported its consumer price index had a bigger-than-expected jump for November, with large increases in the cost of clothing, airline tickets and prescription drugs.
The Dow Jones industrial average gave up more than 178 points.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 3.25 billion shares from 3.49 billon on Thursday.
It resulted in Wall Street's worst weekly showing in a month. For the week, the Dow tumbled 2.10 percent, while the S&P 500 declined 2.44 percent and the Nasdaq shed 2.60 percent.
Oil prices fell Friday after the US government reported that consumer inflation jumped in November by the largest amount in more than two years, raising worries that demand could suffer.
Copper headed for its biggest weekly decline since May after global stockpiles rose to a nine-month high.
Lead gained after a union said Ivernia Inc. can't resume exports from Australia without safety talks.
Gold fell to a one-week low as a rally in the US dollar eroded the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also declined.
Ausminerals Limited releases latest exploration results
Promising gold and nickel results in Leonora Sydney, 14 December, 2007.
Australian mining company Ausminerals Limited today released the findings of its latest drilling results which found elevated levels of nickel, and of further gravity-survey results at it's high-grade gold deposits.
Ausminerals is currently in the process of raising $3 million via an initial public offering and plans to list on the Australian Securities Exchange on 14 January 2008.
Managing Director Erwin Bouverie said the results were significant indicators of the future viability of production.
"A gravity survey was completed late in November in Western Australia's Leonora region, adjacent to two gold prospects at Toorakville and Paul's Reef and Christmas Well. The results exhibit some prospective features, which will be the target of further exploration of the southwest geological trend."
The Toorakville drilling intersected one metre intervals of gold deposits of up to 60 grams per tonne (g/t). From nine metres to 22 metres depth drilling found 13 metres at 10.3 g/t and from 33 to 47 metres depth, 14 metres at 2.22 g/t.
Further along a southwest geological structure, drilling at Paul's Reef intersected a high grade gold interval in one of the two holes drilled from seven to12 metres depth, of five metres at 1.84 g/t.
At Christmas Well, drilling occurred in three separate gravity anomaly areas and detected elevated values of nickel up to 216ppm from the surface to 42 metres.
The air core drill rig was unable to penetrate to the gold target depth of 100 metres because of the exceptionally hard rock intersected at a relatively shallow (25 to 60 metres) depth and this area will be retested with more appropriate equipment in due course.
Mr Bouverie said the results confirmed Ausmineral's view that it would be able to deliver returns to investors over the medium term.
"As well as the tenements in Leonora, the Group also holds a highly prospective Gold and Uranium exploration license for an area adjacent to Curnamona Energy Ltd in South Australia. Curnamona did a capital raising at $2.00 per share in April of this year after listing at 20 cents in 2005. Ausminerals intends to aggressively explore this area for Uranium deposits once a successful IPO has been completed." ...- Web Site

NEW DRILLING RESULTS EXTEND KANGAROO CAVES DEPOSIT
Sipa Resources is pleased to announce results from five Reverse Circulation drill holes completed in November at the Panorama Basemetals Exploration Project in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia.
In October, Sipa announced a new 6.3 million tonne 3.3% zinc and 0.5% copper resource at Kangaroo Caves. The current phase of drilling comprised holes KCC36 to 40, which were drilled in an effort to extend the near-surface portion of this resource.
Holes KCC36, 37 and 38 returned the following results:
KCC37:
KCC36:
KCC38:
These results are very encouraging, as they have extended the Deposit at least 80 metres to the southeast within 100 metres of surface and KCC37 has intersected the thickest and highest-grade copper zone yet recorded from Kangaroo Caves. Also the Deposit remains ‘open' to the south and southeast..... - Web Site

Lounge Lizard Exploration Update
Kagara is pleased to announce results of exploration drilling completed at the Lounge Lizard nickel deposit in the Forrestania region of Western Australia. The Lounge Lizard deposit lies immediately along strike of the Flying Fox nickel deposit currently being mined by Western Areas NL (WSA).
Since August, a drilling program aimed at testing the potential of the disseminated nickel mineralisation intersected at Lounge Lizard by previous explorers has been in progress. The drilling has concentrated on an area extending 200 metres south of the WSA tenement boundary and has intersected substantial thicknesses of disseminated sulphides including massive sulphides on the basal ultramafic/metasediment contact over a minimum strike length of 160 metres. The thickness and continuity of the massive sulphides appears to be increasing with depth.
Of the twelve holes drilled, assay results have been received from five holes with the better intersections highlighted below.

Copper-gold target - Commencement of drilling at Diptank
Drilling is scheduled to start tomorrow, on 14 December, at Diptank to investigate a large (2.5 km diameter) magnetic anomaly. The anomaly is being tested to determine its potential to be associated with a large intrusive related, possibly porphyry copper-gold, mineralized system.
Elevated levels of copper, lead and gold have been recovered in rocks located peripheral to the magnetic anomaly which occurs in an area covered in alluvium estimated at 30 to 50 metres thick.
The program comprises 9 RC holes each to 150 metres depth. Drilling is expected to take 2 to 3 weeks to complete excluding a 14 day break over Christmas.
Diptank is located 100 kilometres to the south east of Bourke in the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW. - Web Site

Stocks finished mixed in another volatile session Thursday after a spike in wholesale prices ( jumped 3.2 percent in November -- their biggest increase in 34 years -- after a steep rise in wholesale gasoline prices) touched off inflation concerns and partially overshadowed a strong increase in retail sales last month. Despite the uneven economic news, a strong forecast by Honeywell International Inc. propped up the Dow Jones industrial average.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.29 billion shares.
Concerns about the effectiveness of central banks' plans to loosen the world's credit markets weighed on stock markets abroad. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 2.98 percent, Germany's DAX index lost 1.83 percent, and France's CAC-40 fell 2.65 percent. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei stock average lost 2.48 percent on the day.
Copper fell for a fourth straight day, the longest slump in a month. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the biggest securities firm by market value, this week cut its copper-price forecast for next year by 17 percent, citing a reduced outlook for global growth.
Most other metals also fell.
Gold fell the most in four weeks after a gain in the value of the US dollar eroded the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also fell.
Vancouver - 13th December, 2007. New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") advises that the first commercial gold pour was completed in the first week of December. 380 ozs of gold dore was poured and based on assays of previous pours, this dore is expected to contain approximately 300 ozs gold.
Vat 1 continues to leach efficiently but process optimization is expected to continue in to the first quarter of 2008. A further four carbon columns should be loaded by the end of December (and contain approximately 400 ozs of dore) and will be stripped in early January.
Leaching is approximately 2 to 3 weeks behind schedule due to staff shortages and disruption caused by the death of Mine Manager Jim Farley (see Press Release dated 3rd December for his replacement).
Leaching was initially run on a 12 hour/day basis, but this has now moved to a 24 hour/day operation which will increase the rate of gold leaching from the Vat. In our release of 29th November 2007 it was predicted that 500-700ozs would be available by early December - this will now be achieved at the end of December with the additional gold poured in early January.
Vat 2 is now expected to commence leaching in January. At that stage approximately 30,000 tonnes of gold mineralisation will be leaching (as against 6,000 at present) which should result in a major increase in gold poured in February 2008. To achieve the projected gold production rate of 3,000ozs/month it is estimated that approximately 40,000 tonnes of mineralisation will need to be undergoing leaching. This is projected to be achieved in March 2008. The above projections are subject to normal weather conditions at site - significant rain above normal rainfall could delay Vat construction.
Because of the nature of the topography, vats will increase in size after Vat 3 is completed as further vats will ultimately be built over Vat 1 and Vat 2. These Vats will be larger due to a widening of the valley above Vat 1 and Vat 2, as elevation is increased.
Actual onsite costs at the Sinivit Mine in October, excluding executive management based in Australia, were PNG Kina 1.22 million or approximately US$450,000. Preliminary November costs suggest these costs will be similar to October costs. Administrative costs attributable to Sinivit incurred in the Australian and Vancouver Offices are estimated to add 10% to the above total. These costs are estimated to remain stable for January and could increase by approximately 10% when production of 3,000 ozs/month is achieved.

SCHWING #2 - DRILLING UPDATE Schwing #2 Well, South Grosse Tete, Iberville Parish, South Louisiana
Drilling ahead at 8,244 feet - FAR (0-14,500 feet 5%)(>14,500 feet 17.7%)
We have been advised that since our last report on 6 December 2007, the Schwing #2 well was deepened from 6,437 feet to 7,882 feet before pulling out of hole for a bit change. Directional drilling tools were attached and the well has subsequently been directionally drilled to a depth of 8,244 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. - Web Site

Up to $8,000,000 to be raised
The Directors of Bow Energy Ltd ("the Company") are pleased to announce that the Company:
Bow plans to use the funds raised from the Placement and the Plan for ongoing exploration and appraisal activities including:
Orallo North-1 CSG well to be completed as producer
Multi-well oil and gas exploration programs planned
The directors of Bow Energy Limited (Bow) are pleased to advise that the second exploration well of the Don Juan CSG (Coal Seam Gas) Joint Venture (Bow 45% and operator), Orallo North-1, reached a total depth of 399 metres and has been suspended as a future CSG pilot well. Wireline log interpretation indicates there is an estimated 19 metres of coal between the casing point at 134 metres and total depth.
The well has had high water flows while air drilling (estimated at 1800 barrels per day) including substantial connection gas which built up with depth and produced a 2 metre flame when lit at 360 metres.
The preliminary results of Orallo North-1 suggest the Orallo area has thick gassy coal seams and the next stage of exploration will require core hole drilling with controlled and calibrated desorption of the coals to quantify gas contents to confirm this and as part of the reserve certification process.
As announced last week, the Don Juan CSG Joint Venture has engaged MHA Petroleum Consultants in Denver (MHA) as advisers and reserves certifiers. - Web Site
"100th" WELL MILESTONE REFLECTS DRAMATIC BEACH PETROLEUM GROWTH
The spudding this week of an oil appraisal well in a remote corner of western Queensland has marked an historic achievement today for energy group, Beach Petroleum Limited.
The commencement of drilling on the Jackson-53 well, in the Naccowlah Block's Jackson Field, marks the participation by Beach in its 100th well this calendar year in tenements acquired through the acquisition of Delhi Petroleum in September last year.
The 100th well milestone has powered Beach to a record 150 or so oil and gas wells drilled in calendar 2007, as the Company spudded nearly 20 wells in its own right and participated in an additional 30 wells on its coal seam gas interests in Queensland.
This represents a dramatic increase for Beach in the past ten years, as it participated in a total of only 5 wells in the 1997 financial year.
During 2007 Beach will participate in more than 65 wells associated with the Cooper Oil Project ("COP") which has enjoyed a 70% success rate, commensurate with predrill expectations. A similar level of activity is expected in Beach's tenements in 2008...... - Web Site

L44H-D1 Record Production at 3,940 bopd
L44H-D1 (Carnarvon 40%)
The deviated well L44H-D1 is now flowing at a sustained, stabilised rate of approximately 3,940 barrels per day of 35.5 degree API oil with a minimal water cut of 0.05%. The well is free flowing through casing and tubing with a restricted choke setting of 38/64" and 26/64" respectively. Flowing wellhead pressures on casing and tubing remain high at 280-285 psi indicating the well has a flow capability greater than the current choked rate. Load out of oil tankers from the well location is the determining factor in not taking production higher at this stage.
Thailand Department of Mineral Fuels has commented that this is the highest flow rate ever achieved by any oil well drilled onshore Thailand....- Web Site

MAJOR INCREASE IN TARGETS TO 120KM AT COOLJARLOO AND COOLJARLOO NORTH
A programme of 23,000m of aircore drilling has commenced at the Cooljarloo (15,000m) and Cooljarloo North (8,000m) mineral sands projects in the North Perth Basin. A total of 19 new targets are being tested over a total cumulative strike length of 40km. The programme also includes infill drilling within the 35AHD, Hyperion and Target 2 resource areas (refer to attached maps). A Wallis aircore rig is booked for the next two months for this work.
These large new target areas include strand and channel targets which have been defined from ongoing interpretation of ground magnetics and from previous drilling programmes. At least 8 of the targets are known to be mineralised as indicated from limited previous drilling. The drilling programme is designed to evaluate the total length of the new target areas and potentially add to the known mineralisation which currently covers a cumulative strike length of 38km comprising 29km of strands and 9km of channels.
It is significant that 40km of new targets are being drilled in this programme as they approximate the length of the known mineralisation on which resource estimates are currently being carried out. A further 42km of targets have been identified on the Cooljarloo tenement, which are being assessed for drilling in the new year after access agreements are finalised. This brings the total length of targets and resources on the above projects to a very substantial 120km. Following Image's high success rate in identifying and testing these types of targets to date, it expects a good proportion of the new targets to convert to mineralisation. - Web Site

Update on 2007 production
Lihir Gold Ltd (LGL) has reduced its production forecast for 2007 by 7 percent to 700,000 ounces.
While the company's operational performance this quarter has continued to build on the strong improvements implemented over the past two years, with record material movements and autoclave throughputs in the current year, the gold grade of ore being fed to the autoclaves has been below plan. This has been primarily due to:
This has necessitated the requirement to blend softer material through the secondary crushing system to maintain feed to the autoclaves. This material has had a significantly lower gold grade.
In addition, the recently commissioned oxygen plant has experienced a compressor failure reducing the amount of ore that can be oxidised. This plant is unlikely to be back on line before the New Year.
Despite these temporary setbacks, LGL remains on track to achieve record production in 2007. This will be followed by another record in 2008, due to a full year's operation of the flotation circuit expansion at Lihir, and the commencement of production at the company's Ballarat operation, which remains on schedule for the second half of the year.
"The improved operational performance, together with the expansion projects being planned, and the elimination of all hedging earlier this year, will position LGL for a strong improvement in operating cashflows in 2008 and beyond," said CEO Arthur Hood. - Web Site

Wall Street closed only moderately higher in an erratic session Wednesday as investors remained unconvinced by a Federal Reserve plan to work with other central banks to alleviate the global credit crisis.
By the close, investors had erased almost all of a 272-point gain earlier in the Dow Jones industrial average that followed the Fed's announcement of an agreement with the European Central Bank and the central banks of England, Canada and Switzerland to confront what it called elevated pressures in the credit markets. The Fed said it will create a temporary auction facility to make funds available to banks and set up lines of credit with the European and Swiss central banks for additional resources.
Advancing issues led decliners by a 4 to 3 basis on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 4.25 billion shares, compared to 3.97 billion on Tuesday.
Energy prices soared after the government reported surprising declines in U.S. stockpiles of crude oil, and surged even further after reports of a fire at an ExxonMobil Corp. refinery in Texas.
Copper fell the most in a week on speculation the Federal Reserve's rate cut won't be enough to stimulate U.S. expansion.
Gold rose after U.S. and European central banks joined to add cash to the banking system, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as hedge against inflation.

COMPLETION OF SALE OF KAINANTU MINE AND SURROUNDING EXPLORATION LICENCES TO BARRICK GOLD CORPORATION
Highlands Pacific Ltd (Highlands) is pleased to announce that the sale of the Kainantu Gold Mine and surrounding Exploration Licences to Barrick Gold Corporation was completed on 11 December 2007.
The proceeds from the sale will be immediately used to pay down the debt from loans and out of the money gold hedging facilities totalling USD113 million. The balance of the USD134.5million received today will be invested, with a second tranche of USD7million expected within the next month when the transfer of two additional EL's is completed. The end result for Highlands will be cash reserves of approximately USD30million and no debt on its books.
Highland's Managing Director, Mr John Gooding said that the sale provided the Company with a platform for growth without the drama of an increasing debt burden at Kainantu. "Highlands' equity in the world-class Frieda River Copper-Gold Project and in the Ramu Nickel-Cobalt Project will underpin an exciting future going forward; while the Company's Exploration Licences in the highly prospective Wau gold district will offer exciting upside. Wau will be a priority target for exploratory drilling in 2008", Mr Gooding said. - Web Site

West Wyalong Drilling Intersects New Gold Occurrence
Exploratory drilling in a wheatfield seven kilometres southeast of West Wyalong township has intersected what may be a previously unmapped gold reef.
Three vertical RC holes were drilled in the wheatfield to test anomalous gold and copper geochemical anomalies surrounding an interpreted intrusive centre within a large (21 milligal) gravity anomaly (see Figure). One hole, APG003, intersected 2m at 19.1 g/t gold from 106m downhole.
Holes were also drilled under old workings on five gold reefs, looking for possible depth extensions. This strategy was successful at the Mallee Vale reef in the north of the property, with an intersection of 4m at 6.11 g/t gold from 28m.
The Pine Ridge reef, in the west of the property, was also intersected, returning 2m at 1.48 g/t gold from 36m.
Follow-up drilling of these intersections is scheduled for 2008..... - Web Site

Intrepid Market Update
Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX: IAU, IXN & ASX: IAU), an international precious metals production, development and exploration company today provided the following update on corporate activities:
Operations
Improved performance at the Paulsens Gold Mine in Australia continues with production for the December 2007 quarter on track to achieve 20,000 ounces, representing a 20% increase over the prior quarter.
Development
Encouraging results from drilling earlier in the year at the Casposo project in Argentina are being incorporated into a resource update scheduled for release in January 2008.
Additionally, the opportunity for the Company to co-invest with San Juan Province in the hydro-electric network for the development of the Kamila gold and silver mine is being studied. This investment would facilitate a lower operating cost base utilising renewable power as compared to the diesel fuel generation processes proposed in the feasibility study.
Exploration
The Company's Phase 1 drilling program (4,000 metres) is 70% complete at the Taviche, Mexico joint venture exploration project and initial assays are expected in January 2008.
Corporate
Progress in the proposed merger with Emperor Mines Limited continues. The Intrepid shareholder meeting is currently targeted for late February 2008. Management of the two companies have implemented weekly meetings to develop an integration strategy which is expected to expedite the process of combining the two companies upon shareholder approval. - Web Site

News Release - Uranium Discovery near Whyalla
UraniumSA Limited is pleased to announce the discovery of sediment-hosted uranium in its Mullaquana tenement on the Eastern Eyre Peninsula. Uranium mineralisation at grades averaging 0.010% eU3O8 was encountered over widths of between 0.31m and 1.92m in two of the first five holes drilled. This is a new discovery of uranium mineralisation in a geological setting that is distinctly different to that of conventional sediment-hosted systems, and in an area that has not previously been explored for uranium.
The Company announced it had commenced drilling at Mullaquana on Monday 26th November 2007 with its own Mayhew drilling rig and associated down-hole logging equipment(ASX release of that date). Uranium mineralisation was intersected in the first drill hole, MRM-001, and a photograph of that hole being drilled was included in the ASX announcement. A further significant intersection was obtained in drill hole MRM-004, collared 1 km to the west. ...... - Web Site

WILDHORSE COMMENCES 2008 URANIUM EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AT CORE PROJECTS
WildHorse Energy Limited (ASX : WHE) ("WildHorse" or "Company") is pleased to announce the start of its 2008 uranium exploration and development program. The drilling component of this program is due to commence immediately and the first phase is anticipated to continue until the end of March 2008. It will be the start of drilling programs in two major phases across the Company's projects in 2008. This first phase is budgeted to cost $2.5 million, with up to five drill rigs completing over 20,000 metres of drilling. WildHorse has received all necessary drill permits for work to be carried out at Bison Basin and Sweetwater in Wyoming, Paraguay and Bátaszék in Hungary. A second phase of drilling is planned for Q2-Q4 2008 for all of these projects, as well as at Pécs. Permit applications for phase two are due to be submitted in Q1 2008.
WildHorse has also allocated additional funds for environmental, engineering and metallurgical studies that will form the basis for scoping studies and pre-feasibility studies on its projects in 2008.
Since November 2006, WildHorse has established a JORC resource base of 32 million pounds of U3O8 ("uranium") across its Pécs (17 million tonnes @ 0.082% for 30Mlbs) and Bison Basin (1.6 million tonnes @ 0.07% for 2.3Mlbs) deposits, based primarily on the evaluation of historic data. This work has comprised the digitisation and analysis of more than 150,000 metres of historical drill results. .......- Web Site

Wall Street plunged Tuesday after the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by a quarter point to 4.25%, disappointing investors who hoped the central bank would move more aggressively to help the economy overcome the credit and mortgage crisis. The Fed also lowered its discount rate, the interest it charges banks for loans, by a quarter point to 4.75 percent, making it easier for banks to obtain the cash they need for yearend obligations.
The Dow Jones industrial average skidded more than 290 points.
Declining issues outpaced advancers by more than 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.55 billion shares compared with 1.17 billion shares traded Monday.
Bond prices rose sharply - the yield fell to 3.98%.
Crude oil rose more than $2 a barrel in New York.
Copper and lead prices extended their losses in electronic trade on Tuesday after a widely expected interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board disappointed some investors who had hoped for a more aggressive reduction.
Gold futures declined in electronic trading on Tuesday after the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate. Before the Fed decision, gold settled up $3.60 at $817.10 an ounce in regular trading.

ANNOUNCEMENT
ULAN LEGAL ACTION AGAINST MOOLARBEN
We advised the market on November 16 that the Supreme Court of NSW has dismissed Ulan's (Xstrata/Mitsubishi) action.
Both the Government and Moolarben (Felix) have been awarded costs against Ulan.
Again on November 23 the market was advised that Ulan had lodged an appeal in the NSW Court of Appeal and we are awaiting further particulars and a hearing date.
We now advise that the Minister for Planning and Moolarben have both been served with an application in Class 4 of the Land and Environment Court of NSW seeking a declaration that the Minster for Planning's approval on 7th September 2007 for the Moolarben Project is void, invalid and of no effect. This new application was served on Moolarben late yesterday 10th December.
Clearly Felix directors are disappointed that Xstrata and Mitsubishi are taking this action having been unsuccessful in their action against the Minister for Mineral Resources and advise that this second action will be vigorously defended. - Web Site

Resource Drilling Completed at Maitland
Glengarry Resources Limited is pleased to announce that a comprehensive resource evaluation drilling program has been completed at the Maitland copper deposit which is located within the Company's wholly owned Greenvale Project in North Queensland (Figure 1). This initial drilling program comprised 67 reverse circulation percussion drill holes for a total of 8,467 metres and was designed to define the open pittable portion of the deposit on a 20 by 20 metre pattern down to a depth of 150 to 200 metres below the surface.
Assay results from the drilling program will be used to estimate a measured and indicated resource in the first Quarter of 2008 from which a mining reserve will be established. Results have been received for the first 13 holes drilled (announced 30th November 2007) with assays for all other holes expected to be received by mid to late January 2008. The initial assays and visual logging confirm the continuity of mineralisation at Maitland and indicate that the deposit is open at depth.
A 5,000metre diamond core drilling program is scheduled to commence in early 2008 immediately after the finish of the northern Australian wet season. The core drilling will be designed to provide geotechnical information to assist with the planning of mining scenarios, as well as to test for deeper extensions of the deposit that could be exploitable by underground mining beneath the proposed open pit. - Web Site

Wall Street rose Monday as expectations for an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve and an uptick in pending home sales helped offset concerns about another round of subprime mortgage-related losses. The Dow Jones industrials gained more than 100 points.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by slightly less than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume came to $1.17 billion shares, compared with 1.20 billion shares on Friday.
Nickel fell the most in a week on concern that demand in China and Japan, the world's largest consumers of the stainless-steel ingredient, may take months to recover. Copper and lead also dropped.
Gold rose the most in two weeks as a decline in the value of the US dollar against the euro boosted the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also gained.

Robust Financials for Roseby Copper Project
Universal Resources Limited (ASX: URL, "Universal") is pleased to announce the preliminary financial results from the feasibility study of its Roseby Copper Project, located near Mt Isa, Queensland. Technical results from the study were announced on 16 November 2007.
Financial modelling of a range of scenarios indicates robust financial outcomes for the proposed Roseby operation. Net present value (NPV) for the project has been estimated on a pre-tax basis and before adjusting for debt financing of the capital costs of the project. A discount rate of 8.5% has been used. Based on the assumptions used, the project NPV's, based on Ore Reserves only, range from $107 million $520 million. The internal rate of return (IRR) is estimated to range from 17% to 47%.
Universal's current market capitalisation, based on its issued capital, is approximately $27 million. Fully diluted market capitalisation, assuming all Converting Notes not yet converted are converted at 18c per share, is approximately $35 million. This is well below the lowest estimated NPV of $107 million......- Web Site
