Wall Street plunged again Friday amid renewed fears that the financial sector's troubles with bad credit won't soon end and that some consumers are buckling under the weight of a slowing economy. The major indexes each lost more than 1 percent, including the Dow Jones industrials, which finished down nearly 250 points.
Adding to investors' unease, Merrill Lynch might take a $15 billion hit from its exposure to soured subprime mortgage investments, according to The New York Times.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.79 billion shares compared with 2.06 billion traded Thursday.
The U.S. trade deficit in November rose to the highest level in 14 months, reflecting record foreign crude oil prices. The deficit with China declined slightly while the weak dollar boosted exports to another record high.
The Dow is down 4.96 percent for the year, the S&P is off 4.59 percent, and the Nasdaq has lost 8.01 percent.
Oil prices were pressured by gains for the dollar against the euro and pound.
Copper rose, capping a second straight weekly gain, as investors bought raw materials as a hedge against inflation.
Gold futures briefly rose above $900 an ounce -- an all-time high -- before pulling back Friday as growing worries of a U.S. recession prompted uneasy investors to keep buying the precious metal.
Phoenix Copper Limited is in the process of raising $10 million through an IPO to conduct an extensive mineral exploration program in South Australia, focussed on the resurgence of one of Australia's most historically significant and prospective mining regions.
Phoenix Copper - headed by mining industry leader and former Newmont Australia Managing Director Paul Dowd - will use advanced technologies to explore its projects spanning more than 1300 square kilometres in the vicinity of Burra, Mt Bryan, Mongolata and Spalding in South Australia's mid-north and Minlaton, south of the former copper town of Moonta on Yorke Peninsula.
In the mid-to-late 1800s, Burra boasted the world's second largest copper mine while Moonta in 1875 surpassed Cornwall as the largest copper mining centre in the British Empire.
The Public Offer, which is part of Phoenix Copper's initial capital raising, will be open until the 18th of January so act now and be part of this unique and exciting invesment opportunity.- Web Site
Ausminerals Limited releases latest exploration results
Promising gold and nickel results in Leonora
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

Ambrian Partners rates Leyshon as its Top Pick for 2008 in the Mining Sector
This year Ambrian anticipates that the flight to quality will drive investors away from all but most prospective juniors, and in this context it cites Leyshon Resources as its top mining pick.
The company, which currently has a market cap of around £61 million ($122 million), is developing the Zheng Guang gold-silver-zinc mine in North East China in a 70/30 JV with a Chinese partner - the Qiqiha 'er brigade of the Heilongjiang Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, which has some 4,000 technical staff, drill rigs and extensive technical facilities. The resources of the project currently stand at a gold equivalent of 1.74 million ounces, of which 50% are measured and indicated.

A volatile Wall Street advanced Thursday for the second day in a row, as investors found renewed confidence in a report that Bank of America Corp. is close to buying struggling mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp.
Stocks jumped after Bernanke said the Fed was ready to lower interest rates again to ward off a recession: "We stand ready to take substantive additional action as needed to support growth and to provide adequate insurance against downside risks," Bernanke said.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 2.06 billion shares.
Crude oil fell below $94 for the first time in more than two weeks after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said Japan is at risk of recession, cutting energy consumption.
Copper fell for a second straight day on speculation that declining consumption will lead to a surplus of the metal .
Gold set a record high near US $900 an ounce and silver surged to a 27-year peak on Thursday, as funds poured money after comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke triggered speculation of further rate cuts and a US dollar slide.
The Bank of England and the European Central Bank kept their main interest rates on hold against a background of rising inflation and slowing growth.

Drilling Report (NW Paua 1, Salma-1,) 10 January 2008
WELL NAME: NW Paua 1, PNG
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs on 10 January, the NW Paua 1 well was at a depth of 1,825 metres and drilling ahead in a 12-1/4" hole. Progress for the week was 495 metres.
NW Paua 1 is located in PDL 5, five kilometres northeast of the Moran oil field and six kilometres northwest of Paua 1x. Paua 1x was drilled on the steeply dipping and faulted forelimb 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 more optimal location on the known hanging-wall structure. The planned total depth of the well is 3,377 metres.
WELL NAME: Salma-1, Egypt
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Egyptian time (+2 hrs GMT) on 9 January, the Salma-1 well was at a depth of 3,342 metres. Progress for the week was 302 metres.
During the week, an intermediate wireline logging programme was completed. On re-entry of the well, rapidly deteriorating borehole conditions resulted in the drill-string becoming stuck in the hole. Preparations are now underway to side-track the well.
The Salma prospect is a high risk/high reward stratigraphic trap located 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 drilling 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 3,681 metres.
WELL NAME: South Gharib-X1, Egypt
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Egyptian time (+2 hrs GMT) on 9 January, the South Gharib-X1 exploration well was at a depth of 2,413 metres and running 9-5/8" casing. Progress for the week was 365 metres.
The South Gharib prospect is located in the Umm El Yusr Exploration area in the Area A concession, Eastern Desert, Egypt. The well is targeting the Cretaceous Nubia sandstones. The planned total depth of the well is 3,490 metres.
WELL NAME: Dhulai'h-1, Yemen
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+2 hrs GMT) on 9 January, the Dhulai'h-1 well was at a depth of 1,491 metres and preparing to drill ahead in an 8-1/2" hole. Progress for the week was 65 metres.
During the week, an open hole drill stem test was performed over the Qishn reservoir interval but failed to flow hydrocarbons.
Dhulai'h-1 is located approximately 10 kilometres northeast of the West Ghobata-1 well and will test a four-way dip closed structure. The primary objective of the well is the Qishn Clastics, with secondary objectives in the Lam, Kuhlan Sandstone and Fractured Basement. The planned total depth of the well is 1,800 metres.- Web Site

Allegiance High Grade Drilling Results
Allegiance Mining (ASX Code: AGM) today announced high grade drilling results from the Melba Flats project in Western Tasmania, including encouraging results from the Nickel Reward Project and the Devereaux Prospect. A full copy of the report is available on the Company's website at www.allegiance-mining.com.au.
Drilling results at the Nickel Reward Project revealed a .7m (drill hole width) intersection of massive sulfides assaying 10.8% Nickel and 3.81% Copper, at twice the depth of previously drill-tested mineralisation. Drilling results from the Devereaux Prospect, 800 metres west of Nickel Reward Project, identified a significant new zone of Nickel-Copper mineralisation with the best intersection being 4.7m (drill hole width) of 1.3% Nickel, 0.94% Copper. The mineralisation type bears similarity to that recorded from large magmatic Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Platinum and Palladium deposits, such as to those found at Voisey Bay.
In August 2007, a 269 ha Mining Lease (ML 2M/2007) was granted to Allegiance over the principal resource areas at Melba Flats to facilitate mine development. Based on the drilling results, Allegiance has commenced the planning and permitting of shallow open-cut and underground mining operations at Nickel Reward and North Cuni-Genets within the recently granted Mining Lease. Quotations for metallurgical test-work have been received. - Web Site

WOOLLYBUTT TEMPORARY PRODUCTION SHUTDOWN NOTICE
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") advises that production from the Woollybutt Field has been temporarily suspended as a result of unplanned maintenance being conducted on the Four Vanguard Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO).
Location
The Woollybutt Field is located in permit WA-25-L off the coast of Western Australia, approximately 40km west of Barrow Island.
Progress
Problems with emergency shut down equipment aboard the Four Vanguard FPSO were identified following a normal operational shutdown and re-start for a recent cyclone. The operator immediately halted production and commenced to rectify the emergency shutdown system.
Production is expected to recommence in late January once all necessary maintenance and operational verifications have been conducted. Woollybutt currently produces 750 bopd net to Tap.
This temporary disruption to production will not affect the tie back of the recently successful Woollybutt South development well, Woollybutt-4H, which remains on schedule to be tied back to the Woollybutt facilities in late May 2008 increasing field production to over 12,000 bopd gross (1,800 bopd net to Tap).
Tap Comment
Tap's first priority is the safety of personnel and the facility. Tap strongly supports the steps being taken to ensure that the emergency shutdown equipment on the Four Vanguard FPSO is working effectively.
This event will have limited impact on Tap's budgeted annual production performance which includes allowances for unplanned shutdowns. The production from the field is only deferred for the period of the shutdown and there is no impact on the total reserves of Woollybutt. Further, Tap's other producing asset, the Harriet Joint Venture, is performing well while Tap has also recently diversified its revenue base by on-selling gas available to Tap from the John Brookes Joint Venture. - Web Site

Wall Street finished a back-and-forth session higher Wednesday as investors sought bargains while also contending with concerns about the strength of the economy and upcoming corporate results.
A prediction of a recession in 2008 by Wall Street's biggest investment bank at times appeared to weigh on investors. Goldman Sachs said it expects fallout from the housing slump and recent tightness in the credit markets will spread to the broader economy this year.
The gains at the end of a fractious session came ahead of a fourth-quarter report from Alcoa Inc., which marked the unofficial start of earnings season.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 2.06 billion shares compared with 1.84 billion shares traded Tuesday.
Light, sweet crude fell 72 cents to $95.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after a government report showed domestic inventories declined last week.
Copper eased from a two-month high on renewed concern the U.S. economy will slump, slowing global growth and curbing metals demand.
Gold rose on speculation the Federal Reserve will continue to cut interest rates, weakening the dollar and boosting the investment appeal of the precious metal. Silver also gained.

ROCK PHOSPHATE PRICE ROCKETS TO US$200/TONNE
FEASIBILITY PLANNING INITIATED ON THE WONARAH PROJECT, NORTHERN TERRITORY
Rapidly rising global demand for rock phosphate, which has driven world prices from US$50/ tonne a year ago to US$200/tonne today, has had a strongly favourable impact on Minemakers' (ASX:MAK) Wonarah project in the Northern Territory.
The drive into biofuels production by countries, such as the United States, is pushing demand for phosphate fertilisers, with predictable impact on prices.
Minemakers' Wonarah phosphate project, near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, which has previously been assessed and drilled by Rio Tinto Ltd, is poised to become a substantial beneficiary of these recent rises in phosphate rock prices.
An independent cost scoping study for Wonarah in early 2007 indicated that, depending on various mining, transportation and exchange rate scenarios, a price of almost A$100/tonne was required for economic viability.
Current world prices appear to indicate potential for a highly profitable, large and long-term operation at Wonarah with a short payback period. - Web Site

NAPIER HIGH - 1 WELL
Lakes Oil N.L. ("LKO") advises that the Napier High-1 well has begun drilling in PEP 158 Onshore Gippsland Basin Victoria. This well is designed to test the top Strzelecki formation encountered in other wells drilled by Lakes Oil in the Onshore Gippsland Basin. Our secondary target is the bio degraded oil encountered in our most recently drilled well, Alberton-1, which was suspended due to 'Rig' problems. It is planned to re-enter Alberton-1, after the completion of Napier High and drill on to 1200m.
WOMBAT 3D SEISMIC
Lakes Oil also announces that the 3D Seismic crew and equipment is due to arrive at the "Wombat" site over the next few days. The "shooting of 3D seismic over the Wombat structure is due to begin Monday 23 January. This will be the first 3D seismic shot onshore Gippsland and we believe it will help us better understand the Wombat structure. The Wombat structure has flowed gas to surface as well as recovering oil and condensate.

Aquila to seek leave to appeal Change in Control decision
On 21 December 2007, Aquila Resources Limited ("Aquila") reported to the ASX that its appeal in the Supreme Court of Queensland (the "Supreme Court") had been unsuccessful in respect of the Change in Control dispute between Aquila, AMCI and Vale (formerly CVRD). The Supreme Court upheld its previous decision 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 hold 50% venture interests, did not constitute a ‘Change in Control' as defined under the terms of the respective joint venture agreements.
As previously reported, if a ‘Change in Control' under the terms of the respective joint venture agreements occurs, the Change in Control will result in the relevant Aquila subsidiaries obtaining an option to purchase AMCI's interests in the Australian Premium Iron Joint Venture and the Belvedere Coal Joint Venture (at a price to be determined by an independent expert as at the date of the Change of Control).
After consideration, with its legal team, of the reasons for the Supreme Court's decision, Aquila reports that it has today instructed its legal representatives to seek special leave to appeal the decision to the High Court of Australia. Mr Allan Myers AO QC will continue to represent Aquila in this matter. - Web Site

Wall Street fell in another fitful session Tuesday, with investors worried that the tumbling economy may not only cripple mortgage lenders like Countrywide Financial Corp. but also create problems for other companies like AT&T Inc. Many traders have bet recently that Countrywide might need to file for bankruptcy. Countrywide denied that rumor Tuesday, but its stock plunged 17 percent. Late in the day, the chief executive of AT&T said at a conference that the phone company was seeing some slowdown in its consumer businesses, though not in wireless.
The Dow Jones industrials fell nearly 240 points. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by nearly 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 4.62 billion shares, up from 4.10 billion shares Monday.
Crude oil rose more than $1 a barrel in New York on speculation that a government report will show U.S. inventories fell for an eighth week and as investors purchased commodities as an inflation hedge.
Gold advanced to a record and energy and most metals rose as a weakening US dollar sparked demand for alternative assets. U.S. copper futures climbed to their highest level since mid-November.
The Ore Reserve for the Tasmania Reef at the Beaconsfield Mine as at 30 November 2007 is estimated in the attached statement as:
| Proved and Probable Reserve | 1,095,000 tonnes at 9.8g/t Au (346,000 ounces contained gold) |
The previous Ore Reserve as at 31 December 2005 was estimated as:
| Proved and Probable Reserve | 506,000 tonnes at 14.3g/t Au (233,000 ounces contained gold) |
Contained gold has increased by 113,000 ounces (48%). Allowing for reserve depletion from mine production (estimated to be 44,000 ounces) the increase is 157,000 ounces (67%).
The upgrade results from the inclusion of the reserve estimate for the F21 Zone, improvements to the resource modelling methodology and the effect of grade control data obtained from sill driving (strike driving on the reef) in the eastern zone of the mine since 31 December 2005.
Given the significantly increased tonnes of reserves and the spare capacity available in the ore treatment plant, planning will now focus on increasing mining rates to lift annual gold production.
The total Mineral Resource for the Tasmania Reef as at 30 November 2007 is estimated as:
| Total Mineral Resource | 873,000 tonnes at 15.8g/t Au (444,000 ounces contained gold) |
The new Mineral Resource is almost identical to the previously announced Mineral Resource as at 31 March 2006 (881,000 tonnes at 15.6g/t Au for 443,000 ounces) despite production since that time. Improvements to the resource modelling methodology and the upgrade resulting from the inclusion of grade control data from sill driving in the eastern zone of the mine since 31 March 2006 has effectively matched the resource depletion through production. Based on experience to date, it is expected that ongoing sill driving in the eastern and F21 zones will result in additional increases to Tasmania Reef resources and reserves over time.
A diamond drilling program has been planned to further increase gold resources by testing the Tasmania Reef below the F21 Zone over 300 vertical metres between 1200 and 1500 metres depth from surface. A drill drive is currently under development to provide access for two diamond drill rigs and drilling is planned to commence as soon as the drive is completed, expected to be during the June 2008 quarter.

Ngalia Thrust Discovery
Six soil samples collected during initial field investigations of anomalous surface uranium averaged 90 ppm U3O8 with the highest concentration at 230 ppm. The surface radiometric expression of Anomaly ‘A' (Figure 2) is approximately 1.5 square kilometres. Samples were collected in the south-eastern section of Anomaly ‘A' from an area approximately 400 metres long by 120 metres wide.
Commenting on the discovery, UXA's Managing Director Patrick Mutz said, "We are obviously very excited by this find, which represents the company's maiden uranium discovery.
"Albeit early in the exploration process, there are a number of indicators at Crystal Creek suggesting hydrothermal activities may have played a part in mobilising and redepositing uranium in this area.
"We are currently planning a detailed field programme to include mapping and geochemical sampling, which will be followed by a focused drilling programme to investigate the depth and aerial extent of the uranium mineralisation.
"The field programme will begin following heritage clearance surveys which are currently being scheduled, and drilling will incorporate Prompt Fission Neutron technology so that adjustments to the drilling programme can be made in the field, instead of waiting for laboratory assays."
The Crystal Creek discovery was made during an initial field investigation to follow-up on uranium signatures identified from a detailed, airborne radiometric survey conducted in October 2007. Field crews confirmed surface radiometric readings ranging from 700 to as high as 3,500 counts per second (cps) at Anomaly ‘A' using a hand held scintillometer. Surface samples were collected and analysed to confirm the presence of uranium (Table 1).....
Secondary field investigations of Anomaly ‘B' (Figure 2) identified an outcrop of apparent uranium-rich granite. Scintillometer readings generally ranged from 700-1000 cps, with a few scattered point sources as high as 4,500 cps. Analyses of rock chip samples are pending but expected by the end of January. This granite may be a source of uranium for surrounding sediments due to weathering or leaching by fluid flow through faults and fissures.
Anomaly ‘B' covers an area of approximately 2.3 square kilometres and is located approximately two kilometres northwest of Anomaly ‘A'.
Initial geological investigation of the surface anomaly at Crystal Creek has indentified a bleached and weathered granitic surface with possible alteration. In addition, a silcrete layer or siliceous cap (Figure 2) has been identified to the south of Anomaly ‘A'. This layer remains intact over a large area, above the bleached granite, where it has not been fractured and broken due to preferential erosion of the underlying granite....- Web Site

Wall Street ended an erratic session mixed Monday as investors grew more confident that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates again to ward off recession and as they also wrestled with worries about the upcoming earnings season.
Advancing issues outpaced decliners by 9 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 4.10 billion shares, up from 4.05 billion shares Friday.
The potential of conflict with Iran, one of the world's largest oil producers, triggered some concerns that crude prices would build on last week's record $100 a barrel. But instead, oil fell on the belief a cooling global economy will decrease demand for energy.
Copper fell for the second straight session as a slowdown in the U.S. economy and rising inventories signaled weakening demand for the metal used in pipes and wires.
Gold futures fell in New York after the US dollar rallied and energy costs declined, reducing the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against inflation. Silver also declined.

Aquarius' Marikana and Everest mines pass Presidential Safety Audits and Mining Right Compliance Inspections
Aquarius Platinum advises that the Company's Everest and Marikana mines in South Africa have passed the Presidential Safety Audits in respect of mine safety as conducted by the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME). Everest was the first mine in South Africa to be audited under the newly instituted Presidential Audit system. The audits comprised two streams - a legal audit and a technical audit of certain installations and practices at mines. These included, but were not limited to, design and maintenance with regard to the provision of healthy and safe working conditions, servicing and maintenance of all equipment and systems, communication systems, occupational health and safety policy, safety risk management, mandatory codes of practice, explosives control, water management, and public health and safety.
In addition to successfully passing the safety audit, the Marikana mine also underwent a DME Mining Right Compliance Inspection, in terms of the 'new order' mining right granted by the DME.

Update on Testing of the Jean H. Freeborn-1 Well
Project: Shaeffer Ranch
Prospect: Rowena Wilcox
Well: Jean H. Freeborn-1 Jim Wells County, Texas, San Isidro Development Company Operator, Antares 50% Working Interest
The testing program has commenced on the Jean H. Freeborn-1 well. A 15 foot interval was perforated at a depth of approximately 14,700 feet, that flowed gas and load water (water within the casing prior to perforation) to surface at a highly variable, un-stabilised rate indicating the likely presence of near well bore reservoir damage. It is quite likely that due to the elevated mud weights required during drilling and the relatively good reservoir properties of this sand sequence that a significant amount of invasion of oil based drilling fluids has occurred. In almost all circumstances when testing the Wilcox at this depth a fracture stimulation is required to overcome this type of common reservoir damage.
A fracture stimulation program is now being prepared. The testing company was highly encouraged at this stage by the initial unstimulated gas flow.- Web Site

JAGUAR COMPLETES CAPITAL RAISING OF $2.8 MILLION TO UNDERPIN EXPANDED 2008 WORK PROGRAMS
The board of Jaguar Minerals Limited ("Jaguar") is pleased to announce that the company has completed its capital raising of $2.78 million through a private placement to sophisticated investors (investors falling within s708(8), 708(10) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act) and a shareholder Share Purchase Plan (SPP).
25 million shares were issued by Jaguar to clients and investors through Hartleys Limited to raise $2.5 million. 2.8 million shares were issued to existing shareholders who participated in the SPP raising a further $280,000. A take up of 19% for the SPP was noted by the board as a positive result, buoyed further by the majority of those partaking in the placement being existing shareholders.
Application of Funds
December saw the commencement of an Induced Polarisation ("IP") program at Jaguar's Wilson River Lead-Zinc project in Tasmania (Figure 1). Initial results from this work program are encouraging, with the survey to be completed in January. Drill programs are being developed based on previous soil geochemical data and the additional IP results. Once all results are received drilling is set to commence in late January, dependent on rig availability. A helimag survey may also be implemented in the new year to improve resolution of cross-cutting features seen in the current aeromagnetics, that may have acted as pathways or controls of mineralising fluids.
In addition, drilling of electro-magnetic (EM) targets will commence at Jaguar's Temma base metal/gold project in NW Tasmania in February.
Field programs for tenements located in NSW and WA are under development and will be detailed in the upcoming Quarterly Report. - Web Site

TABAKORONI RESOURCE INCREASES TO 745,000oz
Resolute Mining Limited is pleased to announce on behalf of the Finkolo Joint Venture that a new resource estimation has been completed for the Tabakoroni deposit some 35km south of Syama in Mali. The new resource totals 9.2Mt @ 2.53g/t for 745,000oz at a cut off grade of 1g/t representing an increase of 53% contained gold over the previous estimation in June 2006 (6.4Mt @ 2.33g/t for 485,000oz). The attached summary report details the resource at several cut off grades.
The Finkolo Joint Venture partners have recently agreed to funding arrangements for immediate commencement of a new drilling programme to test the further potential of the Tabakoroni deposit at vertical depths of approximately 150 to 300m below surface. The proposed drill programme amounts to approximately 6,100m of drilling and includes 10 diamond core holes designed to test the depth continuation of high grade shoots identified over more than 1km of strike in the centre of the deposit (figure 2). The programme also includes infill and extension drilling on the near surface resource, especially at the junction of the Tabakoroni Main Shear Zone and adjacent "Porphyry Zone" where there is poor coverage in existing drilling (figure 1)..... - Web Site

BRONZEWING'S DECEMBER QUARTERLY GOLD PRODUCTION INCREASES 45% TO 25,400 OUNCES
View Resources Ltd (ASX: VRE) is pleased to announce that its Bronzewing mine produced 10,300 ounces of gold in December, as the ramp up to steady production progresses to achieve the targeted +120,000 ounces per annum. December quarter's production increased by 45% from the previous period (17,500ozs) to 25,400 ounces on the back of both underground mines starting to move into a stoping production phase by mid December.
Managing Director Tim Gooch said "The turnaround at Bronzewing in this last quarter, and in particular in December, is attributable to achieving more consistent ore supplies from four sources. This has had an immediate impact on throughput, head grade, recoveries and ultimately gold output. Over the next few months we will continue to work hard to build stockpiles of ore and ensure that throughput and production remains consistent. What is most heartening is that the key feasibility study assumptions are reporting as modelled and this gives us confidence as the project moves forward."......- Web Site
