Wall Street ended a painful week with another decline Friday as skittish investors unable to hold on to much optimism about the economy drew little comfort from President Bush's stimulus plan. By the time the president finished announcing a plan for about $145 billion worth of tax relief, the indexes were well into negative territory, pulling back from a big early advance.
For the week, the Dow and the Nasdaq lost 4 percent, while the S&P 500 gave up 5.4 percent. In the 13 trading sessions of the 2008, the Dow has lost nearly 9 percent, while the S&P has fallen 9.75 percent and the Nasdaq nearly 12 percent.
Crude oil rose for the first day in four in New York on speculation the "Bush stimulation package" may boosr demand.
Copper rose the most in a week after LME inventories fell for a ninth straight session to the lowest in almost two months.
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

AngloGold Ashanti Operational Guidance for Q4 2007
During the fourth quarter AngloGold Ashanti's South African operations experienced a number of planned and unplanned shutdowns due primarily to safety interventions. This has resulted in the South African operations producing approximately 55,000 ounces of gold less than the prior quarter. The "Safety is our First Value" campaign was introduced on 8 November 2007, undertaken jointly with organised labour and government representatives, together with associated campaigns at each of our South African business units. As a result, these operations have started to experience an encouraging improvement in safety performance.
At the Geita mine in Tanzania, production for the fourth quarter will be 51,000 ounces below last quarter. Tonnage was adversely affected by discharge pump failures at both mills and the treatment of harder ore. Metallurgical recovery reduced substantially in December 2007, due to the refractive nature of ore from Geita Hill, which was suspended and replaced with lower grade material from stockpiles. As announced in December 2007, Richard Le Sueur, formerly manager of the Morila joint venture in 2007, has now been appointed managing director at Geita. This became effective in early January 2008.
Notwithstanding solid operating performances from the company’s international operations, the impact of the fall in production in South Africa and at Geita, in particular, has resulted in Group production of 1,368,000 ounces for the fourth quarter. This level of production has a consequential impact on unit cash operating costs for the quarter.
As noted in published guidance released with the third quarter 2007 results, earnings for the fourth quarter 2007 are expected to be significantly distorted by, amongst other things, annual accounting adjustments such as rehabilitation, inventory, and current and deferred tax provisions. ..... - Web Site

Rio Tinto chief executive unveils vision for 'mine of the future'
Key building blocks for automated mine-to-port iron ore operations are being commissioned by Rio Tinto.
These include:
Tom Albanese, Rio Tinto chief executive, unveiled his vision of the 'mine of the future' in Perth today as part of Rio Tinto's drive to maintain its position as Australia's leading iron ore producer. The Group aims to be the leader in integrated and automated mining and transport in the Pilbara iron ore region, leading to greater efficiency, lower production costs and more attractive working conditions that will help Rio Tinto to recruit and retain staff in the highly competitive labour market.
Major components of the 'mine of the future' are being commissioned in Rio Tinto Iron Ore operations in 2008 and 2009 including establishing a Remote Operations Centre (ROC) in Perth to manage operations in the Pilbara mines hundreds of kilometres away. This allows operators overseeing Rio Tinto Iron Ore mines and process plant facilities to be physically located in Perth, Western Australia.
Remote control 'intelligent' trains, drills and trucks will be operational within Rio Tinto Iron Ore during 2008. Humans will no longer need to be hands on as all this equipment will be 'autonomous' - able to make decisions on what to do based on their environment and interaction with other machines. Operators will oversee the equipment from the ROC....... - Web Site

Rio Tinto and Komatsu have agreed to work together to establish an autonomous mining operation in the Pilbara that will feature the industry-leading Komatsu Autonomous Haulage System. The system will be commissioned before the end of 2008. This autonomous mining system will be more widely deployed in new and existing Rio Tinto Iron Ore operations by 2010...... - Web Site
Feasibility Study on Syama Free Milling Ore
Resolute Mining Limited announces that it is to commence a Feasibility Study into an expansion of the Syama Gold Mine in Mali to exploit the free milling resources located near the existing plant.
Initial scoping studies indicate a modest capital, high return project, which has the potential to add up to 100,000 ounces per annum to gold production at Syama.
The Syama redevelopment, which is scheduled for commissioning in the second half of 2008, is based on treatment of an open pit sulphide gold reserve of 1.7 million ounces through a concentrate-roast process, producing around 250,000 ounces per annum.
Exploration work on the Syama tenure by Resolute Mining over the last two years has defined a potential free milling resource of 260,000 ounces (1.5g/t cut off grade, see Table below) at the A21 area, approximately 7 kilometres to the north of the Syama pit.
The A21, inferred category, resource estimate for various cut off grades is summarised in the Table below....... - Web Site

Wall Street extended its 2008 plunge Thursday, the Dow tumbling more than 300 points after a regional Federal Reserve report showed a sharp decline in manufacturing activity and as investors grew concerned that downgrades of key bond insurers could trigger further trouble with souring debt.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a heavy 2.17 billion shares compared with 2.11 billion traded Wednesday.
Bond prices rose as stocks fell and anxious investors sought the safety of government-issued securities. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.61 percent from 3.68 percent late Wednesday. The US dollar was mixed against other major currencies.
Crude oil fell to the lowest in more than a month on concern the U.S. economy may slip into recession, cutting fuel demand in the world's biggest energy consumer.

OceanaGold Successfully Commissions Frasers Underground Mine, New Zealand
OceanaGold Corporation ( "OceanaGold " or "the Company ") is pleased to report the successful commissioning of the Frasers Underground mine at the Macraes operation in the South Island of New Zealand. This is the second new gold mine that the Company has commissioned in the past 12 months. Frasers has been completed on schedule, at a capital cost net of gold revenue of NZ$33.4 million. This includes NZ$7.7 million for additional development to de-risk the first year of production.
The Frasers Underground has been developed on the down-dip extension of the ore body currently being mined via Macraes open-pit. This new underground mine is scheduled to produce approximately 900,000 tonnes of ore in 2008 which will be processed through the existing Macraes processing plant. Frasers concentrate represents about 16% of the total throughput for the Macraes autoclave with the remainder coming from Macraes and Reefton concentrates. Underground development to date totals 6.5 kilometres and will continue simultaneously as mining progresses. Exploration is ongoing and results at depth continue to demonstrate strong continuity with numerous higher-grade areas defined. ..... - Web Site

Exploration and Development Status Report 17 Jan 08
Further to the December 2007 Exploration and Development Status Report, your Company can advise of further developments in its current exciting phase of growth as an active exploration and production company in two core areas in Australia - Coal Seam Gas in the Surat Basin, Queensland and oil in the Cooper Basin of South Australia and Queensland.
The prime gas focus for your Company in Australia is your Company 's potential Coal Seam Gas (CGS) resource in four permits in the Surat Basin, Queensland.
Your Company has decided that with the establishment of coal seam gas in the Surat Basin as a viable commercial resource by companies such as QGC and Arrow Energy, it has now started work proving up the potential coal seam gas resource in these four permits in the Surat Basin.
Initial investigations indicate the gross coal seam gas resource for all these permits could be as high as 2 trillion cubic feet of coal seam gas with a potential net resource to your company in excess of 600 billion cubic feet of recoverable gas, if gas is present.
I can report that following the first well in the coal seam gas exploration drilling program with Bow Energy in the Don Juan CSG Project area which reported a very strong gas flow of 0.37 million cubic feet per day, the initial three CSG wells have been completed as CSG pilot wells.
While the results of the first well were exceptional, we can report that gas flows to surface of a lesser but still significant magnitude have been observed from the two subsequent wells in the Don Juan CSG Project area. This is a result we did not expect with every CGS well we drill in the Don Juan Project CSG area as the industry norm in not seeing immediate gas flows to surface while drilling.
However, the gas flows to surface for these first three wells drilled in the Don Juan CSG Project area is very encouraging for the presence of a potential coal seam gas resource in this portion of the project.
As the Don Juan Project is immediately adjacent to the Sunshine Gas CGS Project with a reported reserve of up to 1.1 million cubic feet of gas (3P), we are excited about the potential of the Don Juan CSG Project.
Starting in February 2008, your Company will commence an aggressive CSG drilling program in the Don Juan CSG Project with Bow Energy N.L. as operator with some 18 wells planned to be drilled with the aim of proving up a gross certifiable recoverable CSG reserves of up to 200 billion cubic feet of gas by late 2008.
In addition, 7 CSG wells are planned to be drilled in the other CSG permit interests held by your Company in separate joint ventures with Queensland Gas Company and Roma Petroleum N.L. where the aim is to prove up additional gross certifiable recoverable CSG reserves of up to 50 billion cubic feet.
This accelerated CSG drilling program over three permits will be funded by the proceeds of the recent placement and the Share Purchase Plan (SPP) extended to January 31, 2008 now on offer to Victoria Petroleum N.L. shareholders. ..... - Web Site

Carrick to Spin Off Nickel Assets
During the 2007 year Carrick Gold (CRK) successfully completed the takeover of Shannon Resources Ltd. and in doing so considerably expanded its nickel resources and targets. However, Carrick and its shareholders have not witnessed a direct benefit as a result of the enormous nickel resource believed to exist among the combined tenements. As a result, and to provide clarity regarding the activities of each company, the Board has determined that CRK will transfer ownership to all nickel opportunities within its tenements to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Condor Nickel Ltd. Condor Nickel Ltd. will hold all CRK's current nickel and base metal assets with CRK retaining all its gold assets.
The gold price is at record highs, as a result of which and the decision to spin-off its nickel assets, CRK will, henceforth, concentrate exclusively on gold. The Directors of CRK believe that the continuing exploration success of the Company's gold activities will be better reflected in the share price if the Company maintains an exclusive gold focus. Therefore, CRK will, in future, concentrate solely on gold discovery with a view to becoming a substantial gold producer in the near term.
CRK intends to make application to list Condor Nickel Ltd. on the Australian Securities Exchange through an initial public offering of 40,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares at $0.20 each. CRK will receive 30,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares in Condor Nickel of which it is proposed to effect an in-specie distribution to CRK shareholders of 24,450,000 fully paid shares in Condor Nickel. The distribution will be on a 1 for 5 basis, i.e. one Condor share for every five CRK shares held on the record date. The distribution will be subject to the successful listing of Condor Nickel on the ASX, all necessary regulatory approvals, and the approval of Carrick Gold shareholders. in general meeting....... - Web Site

Final Results for 2007 Drilling
Discussion of Results
Recent drilling has shown that the East and Main Lodes are continuous and will now therefore be referred to as Main Lode. Drilling has also shown that Zed Lode actually lies in the footwall to, or beneath, Main Lode and appears to continue at depth and along strike in this position. Similarly Gabbro Lode appears to lie beneath and sub parallel to Zed Lode. Further drilling will be required this year to fully define the lode positions but this is a very positive development in terms of potential mining costs.
Sufficient drilling has now been completed to facilitate interpretation of internal lode structures. This interpretation will be used to update the resource model and to assist in future drill targeting. A longitudinal projection of metal accumulation in Main Lode is now being prepared and will be released along with a schematic cross section of the lodes when available.
The most significant results in the table below are drill holes PDP301-305. These final holes in the 2007 program were drilled to test geological concepts relating to internal lode structures. All holes (with the exception of PDP303 which had to be abandoned due to air loss) intersected significant mineralisation, which remains open at depth in all cases. This is an excellent result and bodes well for this year 's drill program, which is expected to commence in March....- Web Site

Target has a 25% Working Interest in the SML (Snapper) #A-2 well.
RIVIANA FOODS #1 (TECHE PROSPECT)
Report Date: 9:00 pm 16/01/08 (Western Aust Daylight Time) / 6:00 am 16/01/08 (USA Central Standard Time)
Current Depth: 3,511.6 metres RT
Progress: Remedy lost circulation - run squeeze. Circulate and condition mud; run in hole, wash and ream to 3,481.2m RT. Drill ahead from 3,481.2m to 3,511.6m RT. Repair draw works brakes; pull out of hole for new bit. Run in hole; circulate and condition mud.
Hydrocarbon Indications : Hydrocarbon shows will only be reported after wireline logs have been run and evaluated at the Total Depth of the well. The well will take approximately four weeks to drill to the programmed Total Depth of 3,810 metres (12,500 feet).
Primary and Secondary Targets : Drilling at the Teche prospect will target up to 22.4 Bcfe of potential recoverable gas and condensate in Oligocene age "Bol mex 2 " sands. Additional potential is recognised in a number of other sands which will also be tested in an optimal position.
Target Energy will earn a 10% Working Interest in the well (subject to completion of earning phase).
BEYT #1 (BAYOU BERARD PROSPECT)
Report Date: 9:00 pm 16/01/08 (Western Aust Daylight Time) / 6:00 am 16/01/08 (USA Central Standard Time)
Current Depth: 3,251.6 metres RT
Progress: Drill ahead from 3,100.5m RT to 3,173.0 mRT. Lost circulation - run cement squeeze. Drill out cement; drill ahead from 3,173.0m RT to 3,251.6m. Run Wireline logs; run dipmeter logs.
Comment After observing a sustained increase in downhole pressure, it was decided to run wireline logs to confirm our structural position. The logs have indicated the presence of a fault that was not previously observed on the seismic data. The fault has an estimated throw of 213.4 metres and occurs at 3,171.5 mRT, or approximately 24.4 metres above where the 1st Marg Tex sand was expected to be.
We are now planning to
1. complete the well in the shallower Marg Vag sand (2,892m RT) which log analysis has previously indicated contains approx 2 metres of net gas pay. The operator estimates that the Marg Vag sand may hold up to 1.8 Bcf of recoverable gas. Subject to a successful flow test, the well can be brought onto production within two months.
2. upon exhaustion of the Marg Vag production, re-enter the borehole and drill a sidetrack to test the Marg Tex sands. A revision of the hydrocarbon potential of the prospect has indicated that a sidetrack to the Marg Tex sands could yield up to 1.1 million barrels of oil and 0.4 Bcf of gas.
Target has a 15% Working Interest in the Beyt #1 (Bayou Berard) well. - Web Site

Wall Street staggered through another volatile session Wednesday, closing mostly lower after a Federal Reserve report showed some economic growth at the end of 2007 and after Intel Corp.'s disappointing profit report.
Other economic news added to Wall Street's concerns. The Labor Department also said inflation jumped by the highest amount in 17 years in 2007 amid a spike in energy and food costs. Excluding those areas, so-called core inflation remained relatively stable.
Advancing issues narrowly outpaced decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 5.25 billion shares compared with 4.42 billion traded Tuesday.
The US dollar fell against most other major currencies -- hitting a 2 1/2-year low against the yen -- but rose against the euro. Gold prices, which have hit record levels in recent sessions, eased.
Light, sweet crude settled down $1.06 at $90.84 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after the government reported that domestic oil supplies rose unexpectedly last week. During the session oil fell below $90 for the first time since Dec. 19.
Copper fell for a second day, touching a one-week low, as bank losses and slower consumer spending increased concern that a U.S. economic slump will curb demand.

Conrad Silver Project - Exciting Regional Potential
Recent exploration at the Conrad Silver Project has considerably enhanced its size potential by identifying some attractive new targets that could add substantially to the overall resource inventory at Conrad.
The new results from Conrad are particularly encouraging in the context of the currently strong and rising silver prices.
The recent work has included stream sediment sampling, geological mapping and geochemical sampling of mineral occurrences and mine dumps at old workings within Malachite 's Conrad tenement package but separate from the Conrad Mine itself.
These new results demonstrate that the Conrad district is highly mineralised, with a variety of high value metals, including silver, tin and molybdenum. Malachite holds contiguous tenements covering approximately 325km2 over and around the Conrad Mine and currently holds a further 750km2 of prospective tenements in the Inverell region. This puts the Company in a very strong position to add value to Conrad by discovery of additional deposits nearby and the development of satellite operations. Conrad is thus now a "district play " and not just a single prospect.
Resource delineation drilling at the Conrad Mine is scheduled to resume on February 1st and a second drilling rig is expected to arrive on site before the end of next month. The initial holes will target resources in the Davis part of the Conrad system. At a later date, several deep holes will be drilled beneath the central part of the Conrad Mine and some of the new targets referred to above will be drilled at a reconnaissance level before mid-year.- Web Site

Production Report for the quarter ended 31 December 2007
Production
Constraints in the Hunter Valley coal chain continued to limit coal production. Total coal produced in the fourth quarter was 11 per cent lower than the corresponding quarter in 2006 and two per cent higher than the third quarter of 2007. There were no material operational issues impacting on Q4 production.
2007 full year total coal production was 17 per cent lower than 2006 due to coal chain infrastructure constraints and severe weather conditions in June 2007.
Sales
Coal sales in the fourth quarter were in line with allocated port capacity. 2007 total sales were seven percent higher than production as a result of drawing down of inventories.
Other
There was no exploration activity during the quarter.- Web Site

Xstrata Copper to Double Electronic Scrap Recycling Capacity
Toronto, 16 January 2008
Xstrata Copper 's recycling business, the world 's largest consumer of copper and precious metal-bearing electronic scrap, announces plans to double electronic scrap recycling capacity at the Horne smelter in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Once the project is fully implemented, the smelter will have the capacity to receive and process 100,000 metric tonnes per year of electronic scrap.
This expansion will position Xstrata Copper to meet the growing need for electronic scrap smelting capacity. As the use of electronic equipment increases, the volume of electronic waste has become a serious environmental concern. The European Union 's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is aimed at tackling this issue by requiring that all electronic scrap is recycled. Similar legislation is expected to be adopted in other countries.....- Web Site

AMADEUS ACCELERATES KANSAS DRILLING
Due to the 2006-2007 success in development drilling at the White Eagle project area in Kansas, Amadeus has initiated an accelerated drilling program which will commence next week. To date Amadeus has already drilled 10 wells in Kansas.
The current program is designed to drill 16 wells located in five counties across 16 leases. Five of the wells are in Southern Kansas and 11 in Northern Kansas counties.
Amadeus will target the Arbuckle, Viola, Mississippi and Lansing-Kansas City formations at an average depth of 3,700 '. Fourteen of the 16 prospects were generated from 3-D seismic. The average well cost should be about $US340,000 ($US290,000 net to Amadeus).
The first rig is expected to move onto location next week. The 16 well program is projected to be completed before the end of June 2008. Well details will follow in subsequent drilling reports.
Due to the low drilling cost and high oil prices, these wells should have an undiscounted return on investment of over 10:1 and a finding cost of only $US4 per barrel.
Amadeus has an average of 85% working interest in these White Eagle wells. - Web Site

PRODUCTION 2,940 BOPD NET TO CARNARVON
WICHIAN BURI-1 "DEEP" Exploration Well (Carnarvon 40%)
The WB-1 (Deep) exploration well has been abandoned after testing small amounts of natural gas with approximately 750 barrels of water per day from an open hole volcanic interval between approximately 1,500 to 1,590 metres. A second, shallower, 10metre thick volcanic section at approximately 1,200 metres, that had oil shows whilst drilling but no lost circulation, was perforated and found not to contain moveable hydrocarbons. WB-1 (Deep) will now be completed as a future water disposal well.
In the latter half of 2008 the Joint Venture plans to drill several Wichian Buri F sandstone development wells north of WB-1 (Deep) and will again target the same potential volcanic reservoirs in a structurally higher position as mapped on seismic data.
L44-R Exploration Well (Carnarvon 40%)
Drilling is anticipated to commence in 5 days on the moderate risk, high impact L44-R exploration well which is located approximately 10.5 kms south of the producing NSE oilfield and within the main volcanic reservoir play fairway,. The well is targeting an approximately 7 square km structural closure with multiple potential volcanic reservoir targets between 800 to 1,300 metres. Drilling is anticipated to take up to 24 days.
The two contracted rigs have been operating continuously throughout most of 2007. Some necessary maintenance is currently being carried out resulting in one rig currently drilling. It is anticipated both rigs will be fully operational again shortly.
Production Update
As a result of additions to infrastructure and oil transport facilites by the operator Pan Orient, production has grown as anticipated and is currently approximately 7,350 bopd gross (2,940 bopd net to Carnarvon) with a current fleet of 41 tankers transporting oil to the Bangkok refinery. Six additional tankers are anticipated to become available shortly, which will increase production to approximately 8,450 bopd gross (3,380 bopd net to Carnarvon) and further tanker capacity has been arranged which is anticipated will increase production to the current field production capacity, from existing wells, of approximately 10,000 bopd gross (4,000 bopd net to Carnarvon) by late February to early March. - Web Site

Quarterly Report - 31 December 2007
RECORD REVENUES DRIVEN BY 94% INCREASE IN PRODUCTION
South Australian based oil exploration and production Company, Stuart Petroleum Limited (ASX Code:STU), today announced record revenues for the December Quarter of $20.9 million.
Production increased by 94% from the September Quarter to 189,700 barrels of oil. This increase was driven by sustained higher production rates from the recent development drilling in Stuart 's 70% owned Worrior Oilfield.
Revenues increased by 130% from the September Quarter to $20.9 million, the highest on record, easily exceeding the previous record of $16 million set in March 2005.
Stuart continues to benefit from high oil prices, averaging A$110.19 per barrel during the December Quarter.
Commenting on the result, Stuart 's Managing Director, Mr Tino Guglielmo said today "Production is up, reserves are up and oil prices are up. The Cooper Basin is delivering the cash to fund our portfolio of growth projects in the Gippsland Basin, Angola and the Port Bonython Fuels business. "
Stuart 's Cooper Basin fields continue to perform strongly with additional production scheduled online later in January from the 50% Stuart owned Cleansweep discovery in PEL 100.- Web Site

A growing conviction that the U.S. is headed toward recession sent Wall Street plunging Tuesday, with weak retail sales figures and a disappointing quarterly report from Citigroup Inc. exacerbating investors' pessimistic mood. The Dow Jones industrials fell nearly 280 points.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.53 billion shares, up from 1.27 billion shares yesterday.
The latest evidence that consumers are spending less came from the Commerce Department, which said retail sales fell in December and which also revised its November figures lower.
Crude oil fell more than $2 a barrel in New York after a U.S. government report showed that retail sales unexpectedly declined last month and Saudi Arabia's oil minister said OPEC is ready to increase production.
Copper fell the most in six weeks on concern that slower growth in the U.S. will reduce demand for the metal.
Gold futures fell from a record after the US dollar rebounded against the euro and energy costs eased, reducing the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also eased.
ICON ENERGY LIMITED TO DEVELOP COAL SEAM GAS IN SURAT BASIN
Icon Energy Limited has drilled and completed three (3) exploration wells in ATP 626P in the Surat Basin in Queensland. These wells penetrated several coal seams within the Jundah and Taroom coal beds along with thick sections of carbonaceous shales. The best coal intersection was found in Lydia No 1 with 13 metres of coal with a density of up to 1.8 gms/cc.
This well has been completed for production and is located on a seismically defined four (4) way closed structure. The rig used to drill the well did not have a gas detector or mud logging unit and gas saturation is unknown at this point. Further drilling including coring is required after the well is tested and dewatered for a period of time.
Stitch No 1 was drilled to test two (2) targets. The upper target was gas in the Walloon Coal Measures where up to 78 units of gas were indicated in the Jundah and Taroom Coal sections. These high gas readings are indicative of gas saturation in the well. A flow is anticipated from the well when dewatering commences.
The deeper target, the Precipice Sandstone, was not penetrated at this location and a further test to the west is needed. A class G cement plug has been set across the Hutton Sandstone/Walloon Coal Measures boundary which will permit sidetracking the well at a future date. The Stitch structure which closes against the Moonie Fault therefore remains untested with the same potential for oil as previously interpreted.
Natasha No 1 is located on a structurally high trend and intersected coal and carbonaceous material. It only drilled the Jundah coals and did not fully penetrate the lower coal section. The well has been bubbling gas along with a small water flow. The gas has been measured at 89% methane with ethane, propane, butane, isobutane and pentane present in small quantities. Carbon dioxide content was small. A full laboratory analysis of the gas content and water is currently being made at ACS laboratories in Brisbane. The preliminary water analysis made using a field testing instrument shows water quality with a reading of 520 ppm total dissolved solids (TDS). The TDS content is undergoing a full irrigation water analysis, as at this stage, the water is potable and suitable for release into the nearby Yarrill Creek. However, the water obtained from this and subsequent wells will be disposed of in a dam 800 metres from the well site.
It may take several months to determine the commerciality of the gas flows from all three (3) wells. Testing equipment has been ordered for the wells but it will take 6-8 weeks for this equipment to be delivered from Houston, Texas. With strong demand for CBM equipment in Australia, there is a shortage of stock availability.

TWIN HILLS SILVER MINE - PRODUCTION & SALES UPDATE
Silver production continues to ramp up at Twin Hills and a total of approximately 62,000 ounces of silver has been produced since commissioning began in 2007. The Twin Hills Silver Mine produces finely particulate silver ("silver powder") through a process of heap leaching and extraction of metal from the pregnant leach solution by electrowinning. The Company recently sold a further 325kg of silver powder product (containing approximately 8,500oz of silver) and holds a further 1,800kg of silver powder in inventory.
The fine particle size and presence of some impurities in the Twin Hills product restricts its sale to certain customers only at present and additional markets for this unique product are currently being sought.
At the same time, the Company is investigating possible upgrading processes for the silver powder, with a view to broadening its market appeal. This investigation will also impact on the additional silver output to come from the new Merrill Crowe Plant, currently under construction, which could also benefit from an upgrading process.
The Company looks forward to boosting its silver sales as 2008 progresses. On present indications, these sales will be made into a strongly rising silver market. - Web Site

Encouraging Final Drill Results Expected to Upgrade Resources
Leyshon Resources Limited (AIM & ASX: LRL) is pleased to announce encouraging final drill results from a major drill programme completed at the Zheng Guang gold zinc project in Heilongjiang northeast China, which are expected to lead to an upgraded resource estimate.....
The 43,700 metre diamond and reverse circulation programme, completed ahead of schedule in October 2007, focused mainly on infill drilling the Main Ore Zone. A number of exploration targets were also tested and the proposed tailings dam area has been sterilised ahead of mine development.
The Main Ore Zone
The Main Ore Zone infill programme has reported some very encouraging results from key sections, which show that the mineralisation exhibits good continuity both between sections and down dip.
The results are consistent with those previously reported from adjacent holes and collectively provide confidence that the revised resource estimate, due out in February 2008, will upgrade much of the 1.21 million ounces gold, 3.72 million ounces silver and 94,000 tonnes zinc resource from Inferred to Measured and Indicated status.
Some of the better results are provided in Table 1 below. They include the very encouraging near surface intersection in diamond drill holes ZGD177, 20 metres at 8 g/t Au from 1 metre below surface and ZGD227, 10 metres at 2.6 g/t Au from surface, together with a number of holes reporting broad mining widths at good grades, all of which are within the current open pit design. ...... - Web Site

OceanaGold to Restructure Hedge Book
OceanaGold Corporation ( "OceanaGold " or "the Company ") is pleased to announce that, subject to final approval by its partner financial institutions, the Company intends to restructure its gold hedge facility. Currently the Company has 320,000 ounces forward sold at NZ$773 / ounce expiring in 2010. The current facility calls for 113,712 of these ounces to be delivered at NZ$773 / ounce in 2008.
With the proposed restructure, 2008 will become an entirely unhedged production year allowing the Company to take full advantage of the strong gold price environment. The ounces for delivery in 2008 will be rolled forward to 2011 in order to benefit from the forward curve and realize a higher price for those ounces in 2011. Following this adjustment, the additional cash flow generated in 2008 is expected to total US$33 million at a US$850 per ounce gold price. These additional funds will be used to accelerate payment of debt and for general working capital purposes.
Over the past two years, OceanaGold has progressively reduced the influence of its legacy hedge facility through restructuring and the addition of unhedged production from new mines. The Company has no intention of hedging any future gold production and is continuing its strategy to dilute the effect of the remaining hedge book. In addition, OceanaGold continues to examine financially sensible options to eliminate the remaining hedge facility. - Web Site
EDIRNE DRILLING CAMPAIGN
Incremental Petroleum (IPM) and Otto Energy (OEL) are pleased to announce that the preparation for drilling five wells in early 2008 is proceeding as planned, with the first well to be spudded in March 2008.
The early 2008 drilling campaign will now be entirely based on the prospects identified in the 149 sq km 3D seismic programme shot in 2007. This change of locations from the 13th September announcement reflects the excellent results from the fast-track processing of the 3D with seismic amplitudes beautifully defining known gas pools (discovered in the 2006/7 drilling campaign). It is thus reasonably anticipated that amplitude anomalies coincident with undrilled structures present low risk targets. About 14 targets have been identified in the 3D area. Four of these locations have been approved by the Joint venture for drilling in 2008, with the final decision on the fifth well location to be based on analysis of the final processed 3D seismic. The prospects in the 2008 drilling campaign are shown below...... - Web Site

Quarterly Activities Report
RANGER
.....Improved operational performance and an increase in grade of ore mined resulted in full year production in 2007 of 5,412 tonnes, 14 per cent higher than 2006. The 2007 annual production is the second highest annual production on record for the Ranger mine.
The exceptionally heavy rainfall at the Ranger mine in the March quarter of 2007 resulted in an elevated water level in the operational pit, preventing access to higher grade ore. ERA successfully deployed a number of strategies to increase the rate of water removal from the operational pit. This resulted in an increase in the grade of ore as the higher grade was located towards the bottom the pit.
Drummed production of 1,553 tonnes of uranium oxide in the fourth quarter of 2007 was 14 per cent higher than the third quarter of 2007 due largely to the higher mill head grade. This was a result of the higher grade ore mined in the bottom of the pit. Ore milled was one per cent higher than in the third quarter of 2007.
Ore mined was nine per cent higher than in the third quarter of 2007 as a result of improved access due to the lowering of water levels in the pit. The pit was essentially emptied of water in November. Mining is now focused on stockpiling sufficient ore to lessen the impact on future production should the wet season be unusually heavy.......- Web Site

Geodynamics Prepares For Landmark Year
Geodynamics Limited has outlined several milestones for the coming year that it believes will ultimately result in Australia having a very significant and cost competitive clean energy resource comparable to its gas resources in Western Australia.
The first megawatts (MW) of geothermal power produced from the Cooper Basin and the final design of a 50 MW power plant for commercial operation are just two of the landmark events planned for Australia 's most advanced geothermal energy company.
Geodynamics ' Managing Director Gerry Grove-White said the company would achieve several milestones of major significance in 2008 through its Cooper Basin Joint Venture with Origin Energy.
"The achievements of these milestones during the coming year will create history not only for Geodynamics but also for the state of South Australia, " he said.
"Our company expects to successfully deliver geothermal electricity for the first time this year, an event that will provide the building blocks for South Australia becoming a major supplier of clean power to Australia.
"The geothermal energy province in South Australia, that extends also into South West Queensland, offers Australia a very cost competitive opportunity to generate large amounts of zero emission base load power. It also offers an opportunity to support the expansion of South Australia 's energy resource belt, resulting in a massive boost to the South Australian economy. "
The key milestones planned for the coming year include:

Waterloo Update
Kagara Ltd is pleased to announce that assay results for WT51 and WT52 have now been received. Hole WT51 assayed 21.1% zinc, 1.7% copper, 2.4% lead, 74 grams per tonne silver and 0.62 grams per tonne gold over a 3.05 metre interval from 161.75 metres and hole WT52 assayed 15.3% zinc, 1.7% copper, 0.2% lead, 35 grams per tonne silver and 0.41 grams per tonne gold over 4.90 metres from 185.5 metres (see attached longitudinal section).
These two holes have established a significant new shoot of high grade base metal sulphides which remains open down plunge to the west and this potential will be a priority drilling target when drilling resumes at the end of the wet season.
When assay results from holes WT47, WT54 and WT56 are received, a new interim resource for Waterloo will be calculated incorporating all intersections from the 2007 drilling program (WT37 to WT56). The current published resource at Waterloo is 244,000 tonnes grading 14% zinc, 3% lead, 3.8% copper, 74 grams per tonne silver and 1.2 grams per tonne gold, contained within a total resource at Thalanga of 1,108,000 tonnes grading 13% zinc, 3.5% lead, 2.0% copper, 79 grams per tonne silver and 0.7 grams per tonne gold. - Web Site

OPERATIONAL UPDATE - SUGARLOAF PROJECT
Sugarkane
London AIM market listed Empyrean Energy plc has released further information regarding wells they are participating in with Sugarloaf Operator Texas Crude Energy Inc on land nearby to the Sugarloaf JV and Aurora 's Ipanema project acreage. Their release advises:
"... TCEI JV Block A-3 Well Empyrean has been advised by the operator that significant further gas shows and multiple gas flares have been encountered over approximately 2,700 feet during drilling of the horizontal section of the well in the target zone. It is important to note that the shows and flares were encountered whilst drilling with relatively heavy mud weight and that the well was observed as trying to flow naturally. This has prompted the operator to cease drilling at a measured depth of 15,100 feet prior to the planned total depth of 17,800 feet in order to carry out a natural open hole test to see if the well will flow commercially without stimulation.
The drilling rig has been released in order to bring in a workover rig to run tubing and commence testing as a natural open hole completion. Depending upon testing results the operator has advised that a water frac may then be used to enhance flow rates. If non- commercial flow rates are sustained following a water frac then it is likely the operator will bring the drilling rig back on site to continue drilling to the original planned total depth.
The testing is expected to commence shortly and a further announcement will be made when the workover rig arrives on site prior to commencing testing.
The commercial significance of the gas shows will not be known until the full results of any testing are analyzed.
TCEI JV Block A-1 Well
Present operations are the running of 41/2' casing to tie back the 41/2' liner in the horizontal section of the well all the way back to the surface. This is being done in order to get a higher pressure rate than the previous 7' casing would allow, such that effective fracture stimulation can be carried out using a conventional gel sand frac. The 7' casing did not allow for high enough pressure to effect the fracture stimulation. "
The "significant gas shows and multiple gas flares " reported during drilling provide further encouragement in terms of the possible existence of permeable natural fracture systems in this productive formation which is believed to extend over the Sugarloaf Joint Venture area and the significant adjacent acreage in which Aurora participates (approximately 20,000 acres at Sugarloaf, 20,000 acres at Longhorn and 6,000 acres at Ipanema). The existence of any such natural fracture systems is likely to improve the potential productivity of horizontal development wells that intersect them. The Operator 's plans to test the wells using different completion techniques will provide them with valuable information for the future development of the discovery.

SUCCESSFUL LAVACA COUNTY WELL AND EARLY GAS SHOWS IN SCHWING #2.
The Directors of Amadeus Energy Limited wish to announce a drilling update report as follows:
Paul Hermes #1
Type: Gas wildcat
Location: Lavaca County, Texas
Status: Logging of this well has been completed and sidewall cores are being taken. Multiple gas show zones had been encountered in the Midcox section. The primary objective of the well, the Hoffer sand, is present in the form of two lobes, one 12-14 feet thick, and the other being approximately six feet thick. Log data indicates both zones to be gas bearing, and of reservoir quality. They are the lateral equivalent of the producing zone in the Hoffer #1 well, 2,700 feet to the north. The zones are probably in direct communication with the Hoffer #1, thereby demonstrating good potential areal extent. This will be further evaluated by pressure analysis.
The Hoffer #1 well is still maintaining production of approximately 5 MMCFD and 100 BOPD, after 12 months. The Hermes well will be cased for production from the Hoffer sand. It is anticipated that the well will be on production within 90-120 days.
Target Depth: Midcox objective at 11,300 feet.
Working Interest: 40.75%
Operator: Trio Consulting and Management LLC - Wichita Falls, Texas.
Spartan Schwing #2
Type: Gas wildcat
Location: Bayou Choctaw, Iberville Parish, Louisiana
Status: Hole conditions have forced changes to the hole size and casing design for this well. Gas shows have been encountered in the secondary objectives, in the Lower Marg Tex at a depth of approximately 11,800 feet and in the Bol Mex, at a depth of approximately 12,000 feet. The combination of gas shows, and intermittent lost mud circulation, require that casing must be run for mechanical and safety reasons, before the well can be deepened. It is therefore intended that a log run be made at current measured depth of 12,036', and 9 5/8" pipe set immediately above the Bol Mex, at approximately 11,990'. The well will then be deepened and re-logged, so that full log coverage can be secured across the entire Bol Mex section. If pay section can be demonstrated in the Bol Mex Sand, 7 5/8" casing will then be run to protect the Bol Mex section, before the well is deepened to its 14,500' total target depth.
Target Depth: The Upthrown Nodosaria prospect lies at depths of 13,500 - 14,500 feet.
Working Interest: 52%
Operator: Spartan Operating Company Inc. - Web Site
AGREEMENT SIGNED WITH MULTISERV TO EVALUATE WORLDWIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE APPLICATION OF AUSTPAC 'S TECHNOLOGIES IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY
Austpac is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with MultiServ Group Limited to identify and evaluate worldwide opportunities for the application of Austpac 's processes in the steel industry.
Austpac has developed a new recycling technique to recover valuable products from Mill Waste (eg. spent pickle liquor, mill scale and arc furnace dust).This augments the Company 's ERMS Synthetic Rutile process. The Company 's dedicated Demonstration Plant, now nearing completion at Newcastle, New South Wales, will initially be used to prove the ERMS Synthetic Rutile process under an agreement with BHP Billiton. This work will be completed in August 2008. Following this, large scale testing using pickle liquor and iron oxide waste from the OneSteel Limited 's Newcastle operations will demonstrate the steel recycling aspects of Austpac 's technologies......... - Web Site

EUCLA BASIN TENEMENTS GRANTED AND NORTH PERTH BASIN HOLDINGS INCREASED
The Serpentine Lake tenements E69/2033, 2034, 2035 covering some 466km² on the WA side of the Eucla Basin have recently been granted, paving the way forward for heritage clearances and then ground magnetic surveys and exploration drilling to commence. These tenements have been previously highlighted following the zirconenriched heavy mineral grades encountered nearby by Diatreme Resources Limited and announced in previous Image ASX releases of 17 July 2007 and 17 October 2007.
An 80 line-km ground magnetic survey has been completed over the southern part of the adjacent Diatreme tenement and revealed a correlation of high amplitude linear NW ground magnetic targets with the higher grade mineralisation intersected by Diatreme in at least 6 separate targets (see attached map). This verifies the interpretation that 3 palaeo coastlines pass into the Image tenement and gives Image the confidence to carry out ground magnetic surveys to search for the continuation of the mineralisation strands intersected by Diatreme. The target zone is very large being up to 9km wide by 28km in length, and Image is planning to begin heritage clearances, ground magnetic surveys and drilling at the end of the first quarter of this year.
In addition, Image has increased its land holdings to 2047km² in the North Perth Basin following application for 4 new tenements (see attached map). Several of these tenements have aeromagnetic targets identified by a recent survey and highlight their prospectivity. Image is now preparing ground magnetic programmes similar to those carried out over its existing tenements. This will prioritize targets for follow up drilling when the new tenements are granted. - Web Site
