Stocks jumped Friday following a better-than-expected rise in profits at Research in Motion Ltd. and on word that Merrill Lynch may have lined up a big cash infusion from a Singapore fund.
Adding to the measure of relief some investors felt, the Federal Reserve said it would continue with its special biweekly auctions for banks as long as necessary to relieve strains in the short-term debt market.
The announcements came as the New York Stock Exchange set a record for volume in the first half hour and hour of trading during what is known as "quadruple witching."
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 2.34 billion shares compared with 1.38 billion traded Thursday.
The Dow, which fell more than 1 percent Monday amid concerns about the health of the consumer, gained 0.83 percent for the week. The Standard & Poor's 500 index finished the week up 1.12 percent, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 2.13 percent.
A Commerce Department report on personal spending brought mostly welcome news. Spending rose by 1.1 percent in November, the largest amount in 3 1/2 years, easing concerns that consumers would curtail spending and hurt the economy.
Crude oil rose more than $2 a barrel in New York after a U.S. government report showed consumer spending gained the most in more than two years.
Copper surged 4.5 percent, the most in five weeks, after metal inventories in China slumped amid rising demand.
Gold rose after the dollar fell against the euro, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also gained.
GOLD CONTENT OF DORE INCREASES 14% TO 84.5% AND GOLD CONTENT TO 317 OZS VANCOUVER
New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the gold content of the first commercial dore is significantly better than in the gold dore poured during the plant commissioning. Gold content of the dore increased from approximately 70% to 84.5% gold, plus an additional 8.6% silver content.
In a Press Release dated 13th December 2007 the Company estimated that 380ozs of dore poured would contain approximately 300 ozs gold. Assay results showed the dore to be 85% fine gold, or to contain 317 ozs gold and 8.6% silver or 32 ozs silver. After costs and sales commission this gold realised PNG Kina 679,699 or approximately US $243,000. Costs and sales commission were approximately 3.2% of the gold price, and we are currently investigating whether this cost can be reduced for future sales.
Bob McNeil, CEO and Chairman commented: "We expect to pour a further 300 to 400 ozs gold in mid January and continue to increase output from the current approximately 500 ozs/month to 3,000 ozs/month by the end of the first quarter 2008. The increase in gold content of dore is a pleasing development. Production of gold in January will be reduced as a result of a 2½ week shut down over the Christmas New Year period". - Web Site

Mount Oxide Resource Drilling Program and Open Pit Feasibility Study Approved
Perilya Limited (ASX: PEM) is pleased to announce a Board decision to proceed with a $15 Million resource infill drilling and extension program followed by an open pit mining feasibility study over the next 18 months.
Perilya's CEO, Len Jubber, said that the development of the Mt Oxide project was being accelerated on the basis of encouraging drill results received so far from the recently completed drilling program to the north of the historical Mount Oxide pit.
"Detailed evaluation of the current drilling will be completed when all results are received and a new resource completed in the March quarter."
"Planning for an aggressive program next year means we need to start construction of a 50 man camp on site as soon as possible," he added. - Web Site
Perilya sells Herald Resources stake
Perilya Limited (ASX: PEM) has today sold its 8.86% shareholding in Herald Resources Limited for a total consideration of approximately $39.3 million and ceases to be a substantial shareholder.
Perilya's CEO, Len Jubber, said that the decision to sell rather than to make a competing proposal to PT Bumi Resources Tbk's $2.25 cash takeover offer, prior to the grants of the outstanding Forestry approvals, reflects Perilya's disciplined and value oriented approach to M&A activities," he said. - Web Site

Rio Tinto approves feasibility study for new Hope Downs mine
The Hope Downs Joint Venture (managed by Rio Tinto) has approved a feasibility study to expand the Hope Downs 4 project as part of the Rio Tinto programme to reach a Pilbara annual capacity of 320 million tonnes of iron ore by 2012.
The study, which will cost an estimated US$71 million, will assess the deposit as an extension of the existing Hope Downs Joint Venture (50:50 owned by Rio Tinto and Hope Downs Iron Ore Pty Ltd.). The study will incorporate the recently completed 50,000 metre in-fill drilling programme at Hope Downs 4.
Rio Tinto Iron Ore chief executive Sam Walsh said: "The Hope Downs 4 deposit offers excellent potential as part of our extension into the east Pilbara region, especially as we ramp up towards 320 Mtpa capacity over the next five years.
"This potential highlights the degree of flexibility that Rio Tinto enjoys to capitalise on existing infrastructure through the development of new world-class mines. This is an advantage that we emphasised in our annual investor presentation on 26 November."
Hope Downs Iron Ore Pty Ltd chairman Mrs Gina Rinehart said: "Following on from our initial pre-feasibility studies, we hope the expanded study will successfully support our vision for the area, which includes more mines being developed adjacent to Hope Downs 4, and the extension of the Lang Hancock Railway to them."
The Hope Downs 4 deposit is located 35 kilometres northwest of the town of Newman and 45 kilometres east of the Hope Downs 1 mine. This mine began production in November 2007 and is expected to reach 30 Mtpa capacity in early 2009.
The proximity of Hope Downs 4 to other deposits fully or part-owned by Rio Tinto promises significant potential synergies and option value for Rio Tinto Iron Ore.
The Hope Downs 4 deposit consists of three main areas of mineralization of approximately equal size extending over a length of eight kilometres. The deposit has been re-estimated after completion of an 18,000-metre in-fill drilling programme in 2006. The contained high grade Resource (>=60% Fe) is made up of 98.6Mt @ 62.3% Fe of Indicated Mineral Resource and 206.1Mt @ 62.4% Fe of Inferred Mineral Resource.
A range of government and environmental approvals would be required before development of a Hope Downs 4 mine could proceed. - Web Site

Outcome of Appeal concerning Change in Control
On 19 September 2007, Aquila Resources Limited ("Aquila") reported to the ASX that it had lodged an appeal against the decision of the Supreme Court of Queensland ("Decision"), in respect of the Change in Control dispute between Aquila, AMCI and Vale (formerly CVRD). The Decision at first instance was that the restructuring of the AMCI interests in the Australian Premium Iron Joint Venture and the Belvedere Coal Joint Venture, in which two of Aquila's subsidiaries respectively held 50% venture interests, did not constitute a ‘Change in Control' as defined, under the terms of the respective joint venture agreements.
Aquila reports that the judgment of the Queensland Court of Appeal was handed down today, dismissing Aquila's appeal.
Aquila is disappointed with the outcome in the appeal and, together with its legal team, is currently examining today's judgment to determine whether there are appropriate grounds for seeking special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia. - Web Site

DRILL PROGRAMME COMPLETED AT PARROT FEATHERS
LINDSAYS PROJECT
Reverse circulation drilling has now been completed over a strike distance of approximately 500 metres including the Parrot Feathers lode and subsidiary lodes including the Copperline. Infill drilling has reduced drill spacings to a 20 X 20 metre grid pattern from north Parrot Feathers to the beginning of the Trial Pit. Gold mineralisation has been continuous and robust, in particular the Parrot Feathers lode which has deepened significantly to the south. The Copperline and Trial Pit lodes often referred to as the Hanging Wall lodes or near surface lodes (Refer: Figure 1) have shown that open pit style gold mineralisation continues to the south joining the Trial Pit. Recent assay results received from drill hole intercepts in the areas between Parrot Feathers and the Trial Pit (Copperline) are shown in Table A........ - Web Site

Surveys Commence on Priority Targets - Mt Gibson Iron Ore & Warriedar Prospects, WA
Prosperity Resources Limited (ASX: PSP) is pleased to announce on behalf of the Payne's Find Joint Venture with Mawson West Ltd (ASX: MWE) that it has commenced a close spaced 50 metre aeromagnetic and radiometric survey over 3 priority magnetic anomalies in the Mid West of Western Australia.
The Woolshed Prospect is partially exposed with large areas of banded iron formation (‘BIF') outcrop but large sections are overlain with an unknown thickness of alluvial cover and this new survey will provide greater confidence in selection of suitable drilling sites for the upcoming RC drill programme.
The Warriedar and Payne's Find Prospects are also being flown with close spaced aeromagnetics to further define the major geological structures in the areas which are thought to be prospective for both gold and iron resources.
With previously released rock chip samples of enriched BIF grading in excess of 55% iron at both the Woolshed and Warriedar Prospects, the Company is now seeking to determine the third dimension by drilling these prospects. - Web Site

Fosterville Gold Mine Announcement
There was an incident at Perseverance's Fosterville Gold Mine this afternoon after a routine production firing. Following standard re-entry procedures, several mine personnel were apparently affected by fumes from the earlier firing.
Normal mine recovery procedures resulted in the safe recovery of all personnel working in that area. These personnel were removed from the mine along with the rest of the shift crew. Those affected were taken to hospital for observation.
Until the reason for the incident has been determined, works in that area of the mine have been discontinued. - Web Site

In an established mining operation, or one at an advanced stage of evaluation, the term "cut-off grade" has a clear and defined economic meaning which is determined by the specific characteristics of that individual deposit. In general terms, the cut-off grade of a particular operation is the grade below which it is not economically feasible to exploit that mineralisation. As noted in the Company ASX release of 12th December 2007, uranium deposits from a diverse range of geological setting and geographic locations are presently using 0.01EU% as a cut-off for their economic evaluations. It is in this context that in evaluating results from exploration of its sediment hosted uranium exploration plays the Company considers that;

Socks rose on Thursday, led by technology shares, as a reassuring profit and outlook from Oracle Corp offset nagging concerns about financial companies' exposure to bad debt.
Adding to concern, the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank's index of business activity plunged to its weakest in more than four years in December.
Despite the gains by the major indexes, declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 9 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 859.9 million shares.
Crude oil was little changed amid forecasts for warmer weather and a government report showing that supplies of natural gas, a competing fuel, declined less than expected.
Gold fell for a second straight day after the US dollar climbed against the euro.

Decision to Proceed with North Mine Deeps Feasibility Study
Perilya Limited (ASX: PEM) is pleased to announce a Board decision to proceed with a six month feasibility study on the development of the 3.7 million tonne North Mine Deeps project at Broken Hill.
Perilya's CEO, Len Jubber, said that the potential extension of the existing North Mine would add substantial value to the Broken Hill mine, extending the mine life and reducing our dependence on the Southern Operations.
"The significant, high grade North Mine Deeps resource would be accessed by extending the existing decline which will continue to access remnant ore up to Level 22, whilst the Feasibility Study is undertaken in accessing Level 23 and below via the decline and partial refurbishment of the existing No 3 Shaft," he said.
"While the time frames involved in developing the decline are similar to the alternative of fully refurbishing the No 3 Shaft, the cash flow generated from continuing ore mining as well as the lower capital costs associated with installing only a rope guided ore hoisting system mean that the decline is a much lower risk development option," he added. - Web Site
Update on development and operating activities
METAL PRODUCTION AND SALES
Perilya's total full year metal production from Broken Hill and Beltana is expected to be 160,000 to 170,000 tonnes contained zinc and 55,000 to 65,000 tonnes contained lead, with metal sales of 110,000 to 125,000 tonnes contained zinc and 55,000 to 60,000 tonnes contained lead.
BROKEN HILL
Operations Outlook
Production from Broken Hill has been disrupted by localised seismic events in the Southern Cross area of the Southern Operations. Whilst events had no material impact on the mine workings, the mine stoping sequence has been altered to safely continue mining in this area. As a result the recent gains in development stocks have been negated requiring mining of lower grade material. Half-yearly production from Broken Hill is expected to be approximately 41,000 to 43,000 tonnes of contained zinc and 25,000 to 27,000 tonnes of contained lead.
Full year production from Broken Hill is expected to be 95,000 to 105,000 contained zinc and 55,000 to 60,000 contained lead at a cash operating cost of US$0.75 - US$0.80 per pound zinc.
North Mine Deeps Project
Perilya Limited will proceed with the feasibility study of the North Mine Deeps project in the second half of 2007/08 (refer to separate announcement to follow).
The recently completed North Mine Deeps pre-feasibility study has confirmed a Mineral Resource of 3.7 million tonnes @ 11.3 % zinc, 13.5 % lead and 219 g/t silver (refer to Annual Report 07).
The resource which extends to a depth of 1,800 metres (Level 36) will probably be accessed via a continuation of the existing underground decline which to date has progressed to a depth of 450 metres (Level 12). While the time frames involved are similar to using the No 3 Shaft, the cash flow generated from continuing ore mining as well as the lower capital costs associated with installing only a rope guided ore hoisting system (instead of a full refurbishment of the shaft infrastructure) mean that the decline is a significantly lower risk development option. Dewatering of the mine below Level 22 will still be conducted via the No 3 Shaft and is scheduled to commence in the March quarter 2009...... - Web Site

Valhalla-1 ST1 Update
Operations Since Last Report: Continued drilling from 2405m through the clastics and carbonates of the Fairfield Group to current depth of 3466mMD in the Carbonates of the Fammenian (Nullara Equiv). During a flow check, the drill pipe became stuck and while attempting to free the pipe and regain circulation, the drill string parted some 300m above the bit. Operations are underway to retrieve the fish.
Current Operations: Fishing operations.
Hydrocarbon indications: Elevated gas levels above background have continued whilst drilling interbedded limestones, claystones and sandstones of the Fairfield Group. The significance of these and earlier oil and gas indications will be determined once planned wireline logging and proposed Drill Stem Testing has been completed.
Comment: The presence of oil shows and the continuing presence of gas shows in the well are encouraging. Drill stem testing of shows is now planned and test intervals will be firmed up following the completion of log analysis. - Web Site

Waterloo Update
Kagara Ltd (ASX - KZL) is pleased to announce that infill and extension drilling at the Waterloo copper zinc deposit has significantly enhanced the prospectivity of this very high grade deposit.
Assay results have now been received for holes WT38 and WT45 which returned 3.05 metres at 7.4% zinc, 1.9% coper, 3.6% lead, 180 grams per tonne silver and 1.22 grams per tonne gold and 2.40 metres at 9.5% zinc, 3.7% copper, 0.6% lead, 40 grams per tonne silver and 0.94 grams per tonne gold respectively (see attached longitudinal section). Visually, both of these holes were expected to be low grade but have returned mineable widths and grades which opens up the potential to further expand the Waterloo resource along strike and at depth.
Assay results are still pending for holes WT47, WT51, WT52, WT54 and WT56, all of which contain moderate to high grade mineralisation.
The 2007 drilling program at Waterloo has now been completed and will recommence in the New Year when weather permits...... - Web Site

Southeast Lost Hills Gas Project - Test Program Update
Nuenco is pleased to confirm that progress is continuing with the testing program at its Southeast Lost Hills Gas Project (SELH) in the San Joaquin Basin in California. Nuenco is developing the SELH project with its 50% partner and operator Livingstone Energy Inc (the wholly-owned US subsidiary of ASX listed Solimar Energy Limited, ASX: SGY).
Testing Program Status
After the successful completion of the recent flow tests on Jack Hamar 3-13 as announced on 5 December 2007, the Joint Venture has completed and submitted data required to commence discussions for commercial gas off-take from section 13 to the major local gas companies starting with the 3-13 well. A testing rig has also been located and is scheduled to commence activities on the other section 13 gas wells in January 2008. Further, the joint venture is now planning to appoint a Reservoir Engineer to develop a reserves report on the gas discovered by 3-13 and this work may extend to the other wells depending on testing results. The Jack Hamar area has four completed wells with multiple gas zones in each well that will be tested over the coming month. The SELH Joint Venture is aiming to test and complete the best zones in each well.
Commercial Potential
The commercial objective at SELH is to prove up and produce from the discovered gas accumulation in the shallow Pliocene reservoirs that has been identified by drilling on SELH to date. High gas prices and strong increasing gas demand in an area that contains abundant infrastructure, enhance the commercial development potential for this project and there is real interest and capacity to take the gas produced at SELH into gas sales pipelines close to this development. ..- Web Site

AUSTPAC SECURES ILMENITE SUPPLY FOR 3,000 TPA ERMS SR SYNTHETIC RUTILE PLANT
Austpac is pleased to announce that it has secured supplies of ilmenite for the 3,000 tpa ERMS SR synrutile Demonstration Plant under construction at the Company's facilities on Kooragang Island, Newcastle. It is planned to process a total of 720 tonnes of ilmenite from three sources and produce around 350 tonnes of high grade synrutile and 250 tonnes of iron pellets for market trials.
A 150 tonne parcel of "ROM ilmenite" has been purchased from Consolidated Rutile Limited. This is a run-of-mine ilmenite concentrate produced from the heavy mineral mining operations on Stradbroke Island. Previous tests on this type of ilmenite undertaken in 2003 produced a high grade synrutile containing 98% TiO2, and this parcel will be used to commission the Newcastle plant. The consignment has now been delivered and stockpiled at the Plant.
500 tonnes of "Mags 1" ilmenite has been purchased from BeMaX Resources Limited's Murray Basin operations. This material is the magnetic fraction from the heavy mineral concentrate produced at the Ginkgo mine. It contains relatively high levels of chrome and radio-elements, and is being stockpiled at the mine site. Recent tests by Austpac on a sample of the concentrate produced a high grade synrutile containing 97% TiO2 and very low levels of chrome and radio-elements. The 500 tonnes will be used for the "production run", a 24 hour per day continuous 30 day operation to make around 250 tonnes of synrutile........ - Web Site

Letter to Shareholders re Xstrata bid
You will receive shortly a Bidder's Statement from Xstrata offering to buy your Resource Pacific shares for $2.85 each. Your board strongly recommends that you take no action in relation to this offer, and that you await our Target's Statement which will be mailed to you in early January.
As you know, our Newpac mine is a very valuable asset. It is centred on one of the only remaining large high-grade semi-soft coking coal deposits in New South Wales, positioning Resource Pacific to take advantage of the strongest export coal market we have known. Your directors' recommendation in the Target's Statement will be based on detailed analysis of whether this value is reflected in Xstrata's offer price.
You will have plenty of time after receiving our Target's Statement before you have to make a decision in relation to your Resource Pacific shares. - Web Site

Wall Street ended a volatile session mixed on Wednesday as investors wrestled with a troubling outlook for bond insurers, a $9.4 billion writedown at Morgan Stanley and concerns that the economy is headed for recession. However, Morgan Stanley managed to get a $5 billion investment from an arm of the Chinese government, and the Federal Reserve said its Monday auction of $20 billion in 28-day credit was met with solid demand -- signs that there is cash out there to help the struggling banking industry recover.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 9 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.35 billion shares, compared with 1.49 billion shares traded Tuesday.
Light, sweet crude futures gained $1.16 to settle at $91.24 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after the Energy Department said U.S. inventories of crude and heating oil dropped last week while gasoline stockpiles rose.
Copper gained the most in two weeks on speculation the metal's longest slump in five years was overdone.

TWIN HILLS MINE
Silver Powder Production
Silver powder production for November was 10,400oz and production to date in December is 32,500oz. Production is significantly higher to date in December, due mainly to the continuous shift operation introduced for the electrowinning plant in late November. There is 41,800oz of silver powder in storage.
Production is expected to increase as irrigation is extended to cover the remainder of the current 150,000 tonnes on the leach pad and take a step up when a higher rate of crushed ore becomes available from the upgraded crushing circuit.
Process Improvements
A Merrill Crowe plant is required for extraction of silver from the leachate solutions once the level of contained silver falls below the efficient operating range of the electrowinning plant. Construction of a modular plant by the Company will commence in January. Once the first module has been commissioned additional modules will be constructed as required. The estimated cost of the first module is expected to be approximately $150,000.
Mining and Leach Pad Construction
Mining operations are currently in advance of crushing, with stockpiles of 95,000 tonnes on the crusher run-of-mine pad and 109,700 tonnes of material on the low grade pad at the end of November. This has enabled items of mining equipment to be utilized in earthworks for construction of the next leach pad area to the west of the current pad and ponds.
This next pad area will have the capacity to hold approximately 400,000 tonnes of agglomerated ore. The pad area and associated drain launders to the existing storage ponds will be lined with high density polyethylene and ready to receive stacked ore by the end of March 2008.
Current crushing production is being placed on the existing pad which has a capacity to hold an estimated 200,000 tonnes on its first lift of 8m high.
Crushing Circuit - Upgrade Stage 1
A contract for installation and operation of additional screening capacity consisting of a 6m by 2.4m three deck screen and six transfer conveyors has been awarded and includes the provision of an experienced crushing supervisor. The supervisor is expected to arrive in January 2008. However, due to a heavy workload, the contractor now estimates that the current upgrade may not be completed before 15 May 2008 although every effort will be made to complete earlier.
The additional screening capacity will extract more fine material (less than 4mm) between the existing jaw and cone crusher for sending direct to the agglomeration and stacking stage. This is designed to increase overall throughput and reduce wear and cost in the later stage of vertical impact crushing equipment which is currently exacerbated by recirculation of excessive fine material.
An additional benefit of the increased screening capacity will be the ability to increase the density of blasting patterns to produce more fines during blasting which will reduce the load on the crusher capacity.
The contractor's supervisor will monitor and oversee the performance and maintenance of the entire crushing circuit and recommend further improvements and refinements which can be made once the impact of the first stage upgrade is assessed and quantified.
EXPLORATION AND PROJECT ACQUISITION
As mentioned in the last update, the Company continues to increase its interest in silver/zinc/lead projects throughout Queensland to provide for future advancement and expansion of operations. This strategy underpins the long-term focus of the Company to seek out high quality silver resources for development. The following provides a summary of recent changes in the Company's exploration tenement interests....... - Web Site

FARMIN TO ADRIATIC SEA EXPLORATION TENEMENT
Beach Petroleum Limited is pleased to report that it has agreed the terms of a farmin agreement with Island International Exploration BV (IIEBV). IIEBV is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Island Oil and Gas Plc) under which Beach will acquire a 25% interest in the "Durresi Block", in the Adriatic Sea, offshore Albania. This represents a further expansion of Beach's international exploration activities, consistent with the strategy of providing the company with exposure to exploration projects which have the potential to make material additions to Beach's reserve base.
The Durresi Block covers an area of 4,200 square kilometres along the Adriatic coast of Albania. It contains an unappraised gas/condensate discovery and several undrilled oil and gas prospects and leads. Although initial exploration will focus on relatively low risk/reward targets in shallow water and close to shore, Beach considers that subsequent exploration, which will target deeper water prospects, will have the potential to yield reserves in excess of 100 million barrels of oil equivalent (net to Beach). This western portion of the tenement contains the extension of a trend which is currently the focus of renewed exploration and licence activity in the adjacent Italian offshore region.
The 2008 exploration program is expected to consist of seismic acquisition, followed by the drilling of one well in 2009...... - Web Site

Shipping Solutions Update
New Deepwater Port
ACC is pleased to announce it has entered into Heads of Agreement with a major PNG company, PNG Sustainable Development Program Ltd ("PNGSDP"), for cooperation with shipping services and china clay processing activities at a proposed new Daru Port and Industrial Park located in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea. PNGSDP has invested in engineering and environmental impact studies and recently concluded successfully an EIS public hearing conducted by the Department of Environment and Conservation. PNGSDP proposes to have the port project fast tracked to meet current Ok Tedi mine demand.
Daru lies astride the main international shipping routes from east coast Australia and New Zealand and is adjacent Cape York. It is less than 1 days sailing time by bulk product river barge from Skardon River and is ideally situated for exporting internationally. Daru is to be developed as a major regional deepwater port for the high volume upcoming mining and hydrocarbon exports from PNG and other regional shipping business. This low energy cost location is also of interest to Skardon River for manufacturing expansion commencing with bagging operations.
Australian China Clays welcomes this initiative as a timely project which will provide a modern, efficient facility, for an additional cost effective shipping solution for the Company, - Web Site

OXIANA'S MARTABE GOLD PROJECT TO PROCEED
Following review of the recently completed Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), Oxiana's Board has approved development of the Martabe gold and silver project in the Indonesian Province of North Sumatra.
The Board approval is subject to the receipt of final permits from the Government of Indonesia, which are expected by April 2008. In the meantime, this approval allows the project to proceed on a fast-track time line providing for commissioning of the project in December 2009. The capital cost of the project is estimated at US$310 million (including contingency and escalation allowances of US$48m). Average annual total cash costs of production are estimated at US$270/oz.
The Martabe DFS was based on the single Purnama deposit which has an initially identified mine life of 9 years with annual production of 200,000oz of gold and 2,000,000oz of silver. Two other adjacent deposits, Baskari and Pelangi, plus primary gold potential at depth and other un-explored areas of Oxiana's tenement represent significant upside potential.
Martabe not only adds to Oxiana's production pipeline but establishes a significant presence for Oxiana in Indonesia, one of the world's most mineralised and highly prospective domains..... - Web Site

Central investigates "green" project potential
Central Petroleum Limited (ASX ticker CTP: "Central") has established two wholly owned subsidiaries to investigate potential to capitalise on the booming geothermal power generation, carbon trading and agroforestry sectors in central Australia, which complement its core petroleum and exploration and production activities.
The two subsidiaries are Central Green Pty Ltd which will focus on investigation of carbon sink plantings and forestry and Central Geothermal Pty Ltd which will target geothermal potential in central Australia.
Commenting on the new development, Central's Managing Director John Heugh said, "Whilst the various debates over carbon trading and international protocols on greenhouse gas emissions rage, one thing is very clear and that is that a lot of petroleum producers are moving into green project areas. Woodside is a recent prime example of this strategy with their plan to invest $25 million in a joint venture with CO2. He went on to say "There will be no significant move into these areas until we have established production and cash flow but with an eye to the future, these potential activities must be investigated"..... - Web Site
CENTRAL PETROLEUM's SEISMIC AND DRILLING SURGE 2008
Central Petroleum Limited (ASX ticker CTP-"Central") is committed to a major phase of exploration activity in its Amadeus and Pedirka/Eromanga Basin permits in 2008.

FIRST SALES AT LOOKOUT WASH 30-31
LOOKOUT WASH 30-31 (SSN 24.4%)
Samson Oil & Gas Limited ("Samson") advise that the Lookout Wash development well 30-31 has been turned to sales after stimulation operations have been completed.
The Upper Almond Formation was fracture stimulated placing 148,000 pounds of proppant using a nitrogen based fluid. The well was flowed back at an initial rate of 1,100 mmscfpd indicating that the flow through frac plug was not flowing because of an accumulation of frac sand on top of the plug, which was substantiated when the frac pug was subsequently drilled.
Production tubing was then run and the frac plug drilled so both the Lower and Upper Almond zones were commingled and the well bore cleaned of frac sand. The well was then flowed back and was turned into the sales line at a rate of 2.448 mscfed, including 1.656 mscfd of gas and 132 bcpd. - Web Site
Kipper Project Sanctioned
Santos today welcomed the announcement by ExxonMobil Australia and BHP Billiton that the Kipper Gas Project in Bass Strait has been approved for development.
The Kipper gas field was discovered in 1986 and is located in 100 metres of water, approximately 45 kilometres from Ninety Mile Beach on the Gippsland coast of Victoria.
First gas production is targeted for the first half of 2011, with gross gas production rates commencing at approximately 75 terajoules per day. Detailed design and procurement of equipment will commence in 2008 with offshore construction and installation commencing in 2010.
The Kipper field proven and probable (2P) reserves are estimated at approximately 610 Petajoules of sales gas (net of fuel and flare) and 30 million barrels of oil equivalent of recoverable condensate and LPG.
Santos' Managing Director, John Ellice-Flint, said that formal approval of the Kipper Gas Project represents another important step in monetising Santos' significant gas resources, and follows last month's decision to develop the Henry gas field in the Otway Basin offshore Victoria.... - Web Site

Stocks rose Tuesday after investors found solace in the European Central Bank's $500 billion loan issuance, but the possibility of recession in 2008 made for a volatile session. The ECB's massive 16-day tender supported the idea that the world's central banks are working to revive demand in struggling areas of the credit market. The Bank of England also said it will offer additional reserves to lenders Tuesday, after the U.S. Federal Reserve on Monday auctioned off $20 billion in 28-day credit.
Alongside U.S. government data showing that new home construction dropped in November to its lowest rate in more than 16 years, the central banks' actions had a hard time galvanizing a market that remains anxious that the economy has further to fall.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.49 billion shares compared with 1.44 billion traded Monday.
Crude oil eased for a fourth day as Turkish troops began to withdraw from Iraq and on speculation that warmer weather in the eastern U.S. will curb fuel use.
Gold rose on speculation that turmoil in credit markets will force the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative to the dollar. Silver also gained.
Platinum rose to a record for a second straight day on speculation that supplies will lag behind growing demand for the metal used in cars for controlling emissions.
Volga Drilling Further Update
Assay results for recent drilling at the Volga Copper Project have been received. Only four holes were completed in the recent program, which was terminated prematurely because of unsatisfactory performance by the drilling contractor (see ASX Release dated 19 November 2007). Volga is located about 70km northeast of Mount Isa in northwest Queensland.
These results are considered by the Company to be essentially neutral in regard to the exploration potential at Volga, as most of the planned drilling was not completed and key targets remain to be tested. The Company has arranged for a new drilling contractor to resume the program at Volga (and to move on to nearby Mt Lidster) once the northern wet season is over, probably around the end of April, 2008. - Web Site

LOUNGE LIZARD EXPLORATION UPDATE
Kagara Ltd is pleased to announce the results of hole LFPD0025W2W1W2W1 which was drilled approximately 80 metres down dip of the 33.70 metre nickel sulphide intersection announced on 14 December in hole LFPD0025W2W1W1W2. The hole intersected 13 metres of disseminated and blebby nickel sulphides in ultramafic cumulates followed by 3 metres of massive nickel sulphides (see section attached). The true width of the intersection is estimated at 60% of the down hole length.
This hole confirms the continuity of the massive nickel sulphides on the basal contact over 80m and increases the down dip extent of the Lounge Lizard nickel sulphide bearing ultramafic to 600m. It is now planned to extend this hole to test for an interpreted flat lying fault that was intersected in drill holes approximately 100m to the north and which displaces mineralisation 200 metres to the east. Dependent on this result the massive nickel sulphides will be followed further down dip or drilling will be directed to the south along strike.
Drilling is continuing. - Web Site

The Beaconsfield Mine has now completed the recommissioning of full mining activities.
Mining of stopes in the western zone of the mine was successfully recommenced in early December using the remote mining technique specified in the Ore Production (Stoping) Case for Safety for the Western Zone. Workplace Standards Tasmania accepted this final Case for Safety in late September 2007 and consequently withdrew all restrictions on the mine's operations.
Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bill Colvin said today the workforce and the Australian Workers' Union have been fully consulted on all aspects of the full recommissioning of the mine.
A series of drives have been developed parallel to the western orebody to provide a gallery for drilling and firing the stopes. Remotely controlled loaders are then being used to extract the ore and subsequently backfill the stopes, which means no one enters the orebody during the production phase.
Two stopes have now been successfully mined using this method and it is planned that continued use of the method will be used to extract 100% of the high grade ore from the Western Zone. Full production rates are expected to be achieved throughout the 2008 calendar year with all areas of the mine now accessible.
Mr Colvin said that the successful recommissioning of full mining activities was a major milestone and marked the end of a busy year for Beaconsfield Gold during which it also achieved its long term objective of consolidating the ownership of the mine.
The mine has also recently negotiated a new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement with employees and the Australian Workers' Union which has improved pay and conditions for the underground workforce.
"There has been considerable support over a sustained period from the workforce, the Beaconsfield community, the Federal Government, the Tasmanian Government and the shareholders of Beaconsfield Gold in order to reach this point and the safe return of the mine to full production will be very welcome" Mr Colvin said.

UNSOLICITED TAKEOVER OFFER FROM ZINIFEX LIMITED
Allegiance Shareholders Advised To Take No Action Until Zinifex's Offer Is Evaluated
Allegiance Mining NL ("Allegiance") has noted the announcement by Zinifex Limited ("Zinifex") that it intends to make a conditional off-market takeover offer for all of the outstanding shares in Allegiance.
Zinifex's takeover offer is unsolicited. The Allegiance Directors believe the offer is opportunistic and designed to take advantage of the company following the recent successful drawdown of the project finance facilities and with production scheduled to commence at the company's Avebury Nickel project which is expected in the first quarter 2008.
The Board is unanimous in its view that Allegiance shareholders should take no action or make any decision in relation to their shareholding until the Board has had an opportunity to consider the Bidder's Statement and has issued its formal recommendation regarding the offer.
Your Directors will carefully consider the offer as well as all other potential options to ensure the best result for all shareholders is achieved.
Allegiance has appointed Merrill Lynch International (Australia) Limited and ANZ Corporate Finance as financial advisers and Minter Ellison and Schetzer Brott & Appel as its legal advisers to assist the Directors to evaluate and respond to the unsolicited takeover offer from Zinifex.
The Directors will keep shareholders fully informed of further developments. - Web Site

Update on Indonesian Exploration
The Operator of the Bulu PSC reports that the exploration drilling programme has been delayed due to issues with the drilling rig. These issues are currently expected to be rectified over the next 1-2 months.
There is no cost exposure to AWE due to this delay.
AWE continues to view the Bulu PSC as a high quality exploration opportunity. The joint venture plans to drill 2 wells in the Bulu PSC, Lisah-1 and Lengo-1, which will be followed by an extensive 3D seismic survey.
The Bulu PSC is located in the East Java Basin covering an area of approximately 3,495 square kilometres and located approximately 40 kilometres off the northeast coast of East Java in the East Java Sea. The area has water depths of up to 60 metres.
The East Java sedimentary basin is a significant oil and gas producing region and the area surrounding the Bulu PSC contains a number of oil and gas accumulations, including the important Pangkah, Poleng and Kepodang fields. - Web Site

Conservative financing strategy minimises Envestra's exposure to market volatility
On 18 December 2007, Envestra Limited issued a Media Release advising the market of the execution of a $130 million debt facility with the CBA, to fund repayment of the medium term notes maturing in February 2008.
Envestra's financing strategy for many years has been to extend the duration of its debt portfolio (currently an average of 10.5 years), arrange refinancing at least 6 months prior to maturity, and limit annual repayments to 15% of the debt portfolio.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is minimal with around 90% of floating rate debt hedged for the regulatory resets through to 2012.
Furthermore Envestra's debt maturity profile, subsequent to the aforementioned refinancing, is such that no debt matures in 2008. Debt and equity investors can therefore be confident that the Company is not exposed to the refinancing risks associated with the current credit market volatility. This is illustrated in the debt maturity profile set out below. Conservative financing strategy minimises Envestra's exposure to market volatility ...... - Web Site
Envestra executes $130 million debt facility with CBA
Envestra Limited's wholly owned subsidiary, Envestra Victoria Pty Ltd (EnVic), has today executed a $130 million debt facility with the Commonwealth Bank to fund debt maturing in February, 2008.
The Company advised the market in August 2007 that it intended issuing credit-wrapped, Capital Indexed Bonds to refinance $105 million of bonds and $25 million of unsecured notes that mature in February 2008.
The change in financing strategy has arisen due to the current uncertainty in relation to the credit rating status of various of the monoline insurers, together with the recently announced delay by the Victorian Essential Services Commission in the publication of its Final Determination in respect to the Victorian gas distributors' Access Arrangements for 2008-12...... - Web Site

Voluntary Administration
The Board of Directors of Lafayette Mining Limited (Lafayette or the Company) appointed Messrs Rod Sutton and Peter McCluskey of Ferrier Hodgson today as joint and several Administrators of the Company pursuant to section 436A of the Corporations Act 2001.
The Administrators will immediately take control of the Company's business, property and affairs.
As has been advised to the ASX, the Company has been working for several months with key stakeholders to restructure and recapitalise the Company which has a 74% interest in Rapu-Rapu Processing, Inc., located in the Philippines.
On 4 October 2007, non-binding term sheets were executed by the Company and the banks with a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) owned by a prospective Cornerstone Investor and the South East Asian Strategic Asset Fund (SEASAF). These term sheets outlined the basis of a series of transactions which could have recapitalised and restructured the Company. As part of these arrangements, a binding Option Deed was executed by the banks and the SPV under which the SPV was granted the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the bank debt exposure at a price which represented a discount to the face value of the debt. For a variety of reasons, the SPV elected not to exercise the option which expired on 30 November 2007.
Since that date, the Company and the banks have received a further proposal from SEASAF and a new group of financial investors. This proposal was similar in structure to the proposal announced on 4 October 2007, and since the date of its receipt it has been the subject of review by the banks.
As time has elapsed, the level of certainty that the series of agreements between the prospective investors, the banks and Lafayette (and other project and Company stakeholders), that are needed to ensure that Lafayette could continue to meet its obligations as an when they fell due, has diminished to a level that the Board of Directors of Lafayette no longer considers that they have reasonable grounds to continue to hold this view.
The Administration process will allow all options for either the sale of the operations or a restructure and recapitalisation of the Lafayette group to be fully explored. - Web Site

Rio Tinto to place up to 15 million tonnes of iron ore into the spot market in 2008
Rio Tinto has announced plans to place up to 15 million tonnes of iron ore into the spot market in 2008.
Rio Tinto announced at its Investor Seminar on 26 November 2007 that it is planning substantial expansions of capacity over the next decade in its Western Australia Pilbara operations. This will allow the Group to place substantially more tonnage on to the higher priced spot market while continuing to meet longer-term contractual commitments.
Rio Tinto has been active in the spot market during 2007 and in December sold one million tonnes at US$190 per tonne. A similar volume has been sold for January shipment at an average price of US$187 per tonne. This compares with the current equivalent benchmark price of US$85 per tonne (FY2007 FOB benchmark plus spot freight)..... - Web Site
Rio Tinto approves US$991 million Kestrel Mine extension
Rio Tinto has announced a significant new investment in its coal production capacity in the Bowen Basin region of Queensland, Australia.
The US$991 million investment in the extension of the Kestrel Mine (nominal terms, 100 per cent basis, Rio Tinto share US$793 million) will allow Rio Tinto to capture more of the growing demand for export coal. Higher quality metallurgical coal is vital to boost steel production needed to satisfy fast growing demand driven by rapid urbanisation and rising incomes in Asian markets. The extension is subject to government approvals.
Preston Chiaro, chief executive Energy, said the Kestrel Mine extension will extend the life of the mine and increase production to an average of 5.7 million tonnes of coal a year until 2031. - Web Site
Rio Tinto to enter nickel market with US$300 million Eagle Mine commitment
Rio Tinto is to invest US$300 million in the development of Eagle, a high-grade nickel and copper mine in Michigan, USA. Eagle will be the only primary nickel mine in the US and first production is expected to begin in late 2009. Eagle is projected to deliver 17,000 tonnes of nickel per year over seven years until 2016. It will also produce valuable co-products of copper, platinum, palladium and cobalt.
Rio Tinto is also in final contract negotiation to develop a nickel mine at Sulawesi in Indonesia, with an initial operation of 46,000 tonnes per year with first production commencing by 2015. There is additional potential at Sulawesi of a similar size. - Web Site

Preparations Underway for Production Upgrade to 9000tpa Copper Cathode
Matrix Metals Limited (Matrix) is pleased to announce that following the board resolution to increase the annual production of the Leichhardt copper cathode project from 5,500 tpa to 9,000 tpa of copper cathode (an increase of some 60%), final preparations are now underway to commence the upgrade.
With the Leichhardt project having commenced production in June 2007, the ramp up to nameplate production capacity complete and the operation cashflow positive, Matrix is well placed to rapidly accelerate the rate of growth in production and earnings. With the upgrade anticipated to be completed in June 2008, the modular nature of the Solvent Extraction and Electro Winning circuits allow production and cashflow at Leichhardt to essentially continue unaffected during the upgrade.
Matrix's mining, cartage and crushing contractors have confirmed that they have commenced gearing up for the production expansion, and will meet the expansion timetable. Indeed, during the ramp up phase, each of these contractors has operated at the rate required for the expansion. Matrix intends to both order the longer lead time items and to appoint the preferred engineering design firm for the project upgrade before Christmas...... - Web Site

Wall Street extended last week's losses as investors remained concerned about the continuing housing slump, flagging growth and rising prices, and were skeptical that a special Federal Reserve credit auction will be a solution. The Fed offered $20 billion in 28-day credit through an auction Monday.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 4-to-1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.44 billion shares compared with 1.12 billion shares traded Friday.
Crude oil fell for a third day in New York on concern higherer inflation and losses from subprime mortgages will reduce U.S. economic growth and cut oil demand.
Copper tumbled to a nine-month low on speculation that a slumping U.S. economy will erode demand for the metal used in homes, cars and appliances.
Most other metals fell.
Platinum rose to a record on speculation demand for the metal used in car parts (emission filters) and jewelry will remain robust. Palladium also rose.

DRILLING ACTIVITY ANNOUNCEMENT
COG Mailisu III #2 has reached a total depth 1455m (RT*). The well is designed to test oil targets in the Palaeogene and gas targets in the Cretaceous & Jurassic. The well is Caspian's second in its planned eleven well drilling programme in the northern Fergana Basin, Kyrgyz Republic.
Weekly Activity
The well reached a total depth of 1455m at 11am December 14. The well was TD'd shallower than the original depth of 1500m but has evaluated all of the planned reservoir targets. The lowest reservoir targets were secondary and appear to be modest reservoirs and had only minor gas shows while drilling compared with the very good gas shows in the primary upper targets. Currently, wireline logs are being run to evaluate the Cretaceous gas shows and the Palaeogene oil reservoirs.
Minor equipment problems have delayed the perforation work at COG Mailisu III # 1. These have been overcome and the perforations should be undertaken shortly. - Web Site

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
