Wall Street ended a tumultuous week with a sharp decline Friday, backtracking following two days of stunning gains as investors turned cautious and cashed in some of their winnings. The Dow Jones industrial average still managed to record its first weekly advance of 2008, even as it fell more than 170 points on the day.
Investors had an initial burst of enthusiasm Friday, sending each of the major indexes up more than 1 percent, after upbeat profit reports from big names like Microsoft Corp. and word of a possible buyout of a trouble bond insurer (billionaire Wilbur Ross was in talks to acquire bond insurer Ambac Financial Group Inc.). But the advance proved short-lived.
Despite the huge moves seen during the week, stocks finished not far beyond where they began, with the Dow adding 108 points, or 0.89 percent. The S&P 500 ended the week up 0.41 percent and the Nasdaq lost 0.59 percent for the week.
Declining issues outpaced advancers by about 3 to 2 Friday on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.88 billion shares, compared with 2.18 billion shares traded Thursday.
Crude oil rose for a second day on speculation that the U.S. may avoid recession after the announcement of an economic stimulus package yesterday.
Copper rose for a second session in New York as China's inventories tumbled more than 30 percent, signaling greater demand by the world's largest metals consumer.
Gold surged to a record in New York as higher commodity prices and lower borrowing costs increased the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against inflation. Silver, platinum and palladium also gained.

Revised Pedirka rationale presents expanded exploration potential
Additional recent in-house mapping and analysis has defined potential for an expanded series of viable structural closures in the Pedirka Basin.
Some of these are thought to have potential to be "company makers" and include the possibility of a c.950 km2 closure along the Hallows Trend apparently unaffected by Tertiary re-activation which has breached earlier charged traps in other areas in the Pedirka.

CARNARVON PETROLEUM SIGNS L20/50 CONCESSION ONSHORE THAILAND
Executives of Carnarvon Petroleum attended an official signing with the Minister of Energy and Government officials for the newly awarded L20/50 concession in the southern Phitsanulok Basin. This was part of an extensive bidding round for oil and gas concessions by the Thailand Government intended to significantly expand the search for oil and gas.
Thailand is a net oil importer of oil and has embarked on a programme to encourage foreign investment in oil as well as gas exploration. A total of 13 onshore and offshore oil and gas blocks were awarded at the ceremony which would see total investments in petroleum exploration and production of up to US$118mm. These oil and gas blocks are part of 56 onshore and nine offshore blocks spanning 235,606 sq kms which have been put up for bidding over a 12 month period. Carnarvon now has substantial interests in three onshore exploration concessions being the existing blocks L33/43, L44/43 and the new L20/50. This is in addition to the production licenses at Wichian Buri, Si Thep and Na Sanun which are currently producing oil at almost 8,000 bopd gross to the joint venture (3,600 bopd net to Carnarvon)..... - Web Site

2007 Production, Sales Revenue and Reserves Update
ROC is pleased to provide a preliminary production, sales revenue and reserves update ahead of its 4Q 2007 report which will be released on 31 January 2008 and its 2007 Financial Results which will be released on 28 February 2008.
1. Production
ROC's 2007 production of ca 3.5 MMBOE (9,668 BOEPD) was a record; up 77% on the previous year. Ninety-nine percent of the production was oil.
2. Sales/Revenue
Despite a year-end underlift position of approximately 0.24 MMBO net ROC, the Company's 2007 sales revenue of A$248 million was also a record; up 64% on the previous year, due to increased production and strong oil prices.
3. Reserves
ROC has completed its internal 2007 year-end reserve review and RISC Pty Ltd is finalising an independent reserve audit report on ROC's production assets, excluding the Chinguetti Oil Field, offshore Mauritania. On this basis, ROC advises that:
ROC's remaining company-wide proved and probable (2P) reserves at 31 December 2007 are 21.4 MMBOE, all of which are being produced or being developed.
There has been a reduction of 2.1 MMBOE relating to ROC's 2P net reserves in the C and D oil fields, in the Zhao Dong Block, offshore China, before any adjustment for 2007 production. Compared to ROC's 2P reserves at 31 December 2006, this change in Zhao Dong reserves represents a reduction of approximately 7.5% of ROC's company-wide 2P reserves.
There are no other material revisions to ROC's 2P reserves.
The change in Zhao Dong 2P reserves will have an impact on ROC's 2007 financial results through an increase in the non-cash amortisation expense. ROC's preliminary assessment, subject to audit, indicates that the reserves change, together with estimated future costs to develop the 2P reserves at Zhao Dong, will result in an increase in the amortisation expense for Zhao Dong of approximately A$12/bbl, totalling approximately A$21 million for the year ending 31 December 2007.
The Company's 2P reserves for end-2007 referred to above, do not include any of the oil and gas resources identified by the five discoveries ROC has made since May 2006, four of which are being actively reviewed and/or appraised and one of which has been relinquished. In this context, the following points are worth noting:
Approximately 3.7 MMBOE of net ROC resources in the Wei 6-12S Oil Field complex in the Beibu Gulf, offshore China, will be reclassified as net ROC 2P reserves if, as expected, a declaration of commerciality is made later this year. In that event, the reclassification will effectively replace all of the 2P reserves ROC produced during 2007.
The commercial potential of the Frankland Gas Field and the Dunsborough Oil and Gas Field in the offshore Perth Basin will be better known after completion of the two well drilling programme which is scheduled to start in early February 2008. Currently, these two fields are tentatively estimated to contain approximately 5 to 9 MMBOE recoverable reserves net to ROC.
The Zhao Dong reserve revision does not alter the fact that a potential for 10 MMBOE net ROC possible reserves is recognised within the Block. Much of this unrisked and unbooked reserve upside will be evaluated as part of the ROC-operated >US$ 500 million development activities which are currently underway. - Web Site

Cobra -1 Begins Drilling
Cue is pleased to announce that the Cobra -1 well began drilling this morning, 25 January 2008.
Cobra -1 is located in PPL-190, onshore Papua New Guinea, on trend with the Bilip -1 oil and gas discovery and the producing SE Gobe field.
Cobra will test a sub thrust four way dip closure that is assessed to have the potential to contain 30-40 million barrels of recoverable oil (Cue share 3.3 - 4.4 million barrels) unrisked.
The well will be drilled to a total depth of 3071 metres measured depth and is expected to take 60 days to drill- Web Site

BISMIL PROJECT - Seismic Acquisition Program
64 kilometres of new seismic has been shot in the vicinity of the Koyunlu-1 well, which had extensive oil shows during drilling in the Garzan Formation in early 2007. Interpretation and mapping of the seismic has defined a follow-up well location up-dip of the Koyunlu-1 well close to the peak of a structural closure. The follow up well, Koyunlu-2, is approximately 800 metres south of the Koyunlu-1 well.
Shooting of a further, up to 56 kilometres of seismic, is expected to start within a few days with the objective of investigating the structural trend east of the follow-up well location.
Koyunlu-2 well
The Koyunlu-2 exploration well, commenced drilling on the 19th January and is presently drilling at ahead at 45 metres as at 0.30 am on 23 January 2008.
The proposed total depth of Koyunlu-2 is 1,260 metres.
The target reservoirs are the Cretaceous age carbonates of the Garzan Formation and the Mardin Group, the same reservoirs which host oil in the Raman fields and numerous other oil fields in the region. The Operator expects to reach target depth within the Garzan Formation within 3 weeks. - Web Site

Rio Tinto signs joint venture agreement with CODELCO for copper exploration in Chile
Rio Tinto has signed an exploration joint venture agreement with CODELCO, the world's largest copper producer. Under the terms of the agreement, Rio Tinto and CODELCO's 100%-owned subsidiary SCM Los Andes will jointly contribute mineral rights in Chile to the joint venture, which will be managed by Rio Tinto. This is the first joint venture that Rio Tinto has entered into with state-owned CODELCO.
Bret Clayton, chief executive, Copper, Rio Tinto said "This landmark agreement combines the strengths of two highly experienced copper producers. Together, we hope to unlock value from a highly prospective copper belt in the biggest copper producing country in the world. We look forward to a long and deepening relationship with CODELCO".
The property to be explored is the Exploradora prospect in northern Chile. Rio Tinto has the option to earn a 55 per cent interest in the prospect through an exploration investment of US$20 million, with the potential to increase ownership to 60 per cent.
Rio Tinto has been exploring in Chile since 1989 and has several copper exploration properties under title which are scheduled for drill-testing in 2008 - Web Site

Wall Street rose for a second straight day Thursday after economic figures suggested the job market is holding up and as lawmakers promised measures that could ease concerns about consumer spending. Investors appeared pleased by a widely anticipated agreement between Congressional leaders and the White House on an economic stimulus package. The agreement calls for most tax filers to be given refunds of $600 to $1,200, and more if they have children.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by 4 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 2.18 billion shares.
Crude oil rose more than $2 a barrel after the Bush administration and House lawmakers announced agreement on an economic stimulus package to avoid recession in the world's biggest energy consuming country.
Copper gained the most in three weeks after a report showed China's economy expanded more than 11 percent for the fourth straight quarter, easing concern the global economy may sag.
Gold topped $900 an ounce in New York for the first time in a week after the dollar dropped against the euro, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Platinum futures surged to a record.

Viking Deposit: Extension to Depth - Significant new intersects
Allegiance has today announced to ASX its latest drill-hole intersection below the Viking Resource zone. The intersection vindicates the company's stated optimism regarding continued growth in the Avebury resource base, which could underpin future major expansion of the Avebury operation.
Allegiance's optimism is based on a highly professional assessment of resource potential by our mine geoscientists.
Drill hole A218 (17m 1.4% Ni) lies 100 metres beneath the Viking resource zone. It is 200 metres east of drill hole A053 (14m 2.5% Ni). There are no other drill holes in between or below these holes.
This represents a wonderful opportunity for the identification of major extensions of the Viking resource, due to the combination of thick multiple zones of mineralisation and higher than average grades.
Directors believe that over the medium to long term your Allegiance team will continue to deliver cost effective, positive exploration results – such is the potential and the promise of the Allegiance Province.
The other exciting point to note about these results is that the resource extension opportunity below Viking is but one of a number of similar opportunities at Avebury, including eastern extensions of North Avebury, depth extensions of Pontiac, and strike extensions of East Avebury. - Web Site

Letter of 18 January 2008 to Vicpet Shareholders
Summary:
Certain Victoria Petroleum N.L. (Vicpet) shareholders will recently have received a letter from Eddie Smith, a holder of 3 million shares in Vicpet, soliciting support from fellow Vicpet shareholders to requisition a General Meeting of Vicpet to consider resolutions to appoint Edward S. Smith, Geoffrey A. Gander and James B. Crawford as Directors of Vicpet and to remove the current Vicpet board of John T. Kopcheff, Robert J. Pett, Bernard Wrixon and Timothy Lee Hoops.
The Vicpet board is preparing a letter to all Vicpet shareholders which will be mailed out early next week providing reasons why the Vicpet board considers Mr Smith's proposal to replace the current Vicpet directors is not in the best interests of shareholders.
Commenting on the Eddie Smith letter to Vicpet shareholders, Vicpet's managing director John Kopcheff said:
"I and the Vicpet board are surprised to see such a proposal from a minority shareholder who has only recently acquired shares in the company when we believe that the board's strategy of focussing the company's activities during 2008 on the two core areas - oil exploration and production in the Cooper Basin and planned reserve certification of Vicpet's potentially significant coal seam gas interests in Queensland through a major drilling program - show much promise for Vicpet shareholders.
"Shareholders should take no action in respect of Mr Smith's letter until they have received and considered the board's detailed response". - Web Site

Snapper A2 flows at 2.1 mmcfgd
Target to become cash flow positive
Target Energy Limited ("Target") (ASX Code: TEX) is pleased to announce that its SML (Snapper) #A-2 ("Snapper A2") (TEX: 25%) well in St Martin Parish, Louisiana has been completed and flow-tested at rates up to 2.1 million cubic feet of gas per day (mmcfgd), with minor associated oil, from the Hackberry A-4 sands.
Gas produced from Snapper A2 will be tied into the nearby Snapper A1 production facilities, and is expected to be online within a month.
Managing Director Laurence Roe said, "With both Snapper A1 and Snapper A2 wells in production, Target Energy expects to become cash flow positive. The cash flows from our four operating wells now provide a consistent income stream underpinning Target's aim of increasing its level of participation in larger and potentially more rewarding projects. With the Bandito, Parks North, Snapper A3 and Catapult wells at various stages of development, and targeting a combined 300 Bcf of gas, we anticipate further positive announcements in coming months."

3,000 TPA ERMS SR SYNRUTILE DEMONSTRATION PLANT:
CONSTRUCTION OF STAGE 1 ON SCHEDULE
COMMISSIONING TO COMMENCE EARLY IN FEBRUARY 2008
Austpac is pleased to report that the construction of Stage 1 of the 3,000 tpa ERMS SR synrutile Demonstration Plant at Newcastle, NSW, has progressed very well and is on budget and on schedule to commence cold commissioning in the first week of February, 2008.
Stage 1 is the ilmenite roasting and magnetic separation section. Raw ilmenite concentrate will be slurried and pumped to the top of the process tower on to a belt filter which removes the bulk of the water. The concentrate will then be transferred through a series of conveyors and a weigh feeder into a pre-heater. This will remove remaining moisture and heat the ilmenite concentrate. The hot concentrate will then pass to an oxidation roaster and on to a reduction roaster to condition the ilmenite for magnetic separation and leaching. The roasted ilmenite concentrate will be cooled anerobically (in the absence of oxygen) and transferred to a rare earth drum magnetic separator, where the roasted ilmenite will be separated from the gangue (trash) minerals in the concentrate. Roasted ilmenite will then be stored ready for Stage 2, which is the ilmenite leaching and EARS acid regeneration section........ - Web Site

RADIO HILL PRODUCTION & EXPLORATION UPDATE
Pilbara nickel explorer and producer, Fox Resources Limited (ASX: FXR) today announced positive updates from the Company's Radio Hill mine located 35km south of Karratha and recent progress at the nearby Ruth Well and Sholl B2 nickel deposits.
Reserves at the Radio Hill underground mine comprises of the C, D and F zones (Figure 1). Production results from F-zone, in particular, have been better than anticipated, with mining of the last development level (975RL) intersecting unexpected massive nickel and copper sulphides up to 4 metres thick. Assays of massive sulphide samples taken from the development have returned excellent indicative results averaging 4.71% nickel and 9.06% copper.
The F-zone is now expected to continue below the 975RL level where the ore zone was believed to have been terminated based on previous drilling. Six diamond drill holes (Figure 2) have been planned to test if the F-zone extends further south and for potential trap sites of massive nickel sulphides down plunge.
Mining yields from Radio Hill have also improved with 43% more nickel and 30% more copper metal mined due to nickel and copper grades being significantly higher than expected compared to the grades predicted in the independent Feasibility Study announced on 22 January 2007.
Milling operations continue to perform above budget. An estimated bulk concentrate shipment of 5,408 wmt, comprising of a provisional estimate of 241t of nickel and 363t of contained copper metal departed the Port of Dampier in early January 2008. The value to Fox will be approximately $6.5 million. The next shipment of an estimated 4,500 - 5,000 wmt is scheduled to depart at the end of January 2008. ...... - Web Site

Wall Street pulled off a stunning comeback Wednesday, surging higher in late trading and wiping out what looked to be yet another massive decline. The Dow Jones industrials, down more than 323 points in earlier trading, ended the day with an advance of just under 300 points.
The Federal Reserve's decision Tuesday to lower its benchmark federal funds rate by 0.75 percentage point to 3.5 percent gave investors a reason to buy Wednesday.
Advancing issues were ahead of decliners by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a heavy 2.83 billion shares.
Crude oil fell, closing at a three- month low, on concern that the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest- rate cut will fail to prevent the biggest energy-consuming country from entering a recession.
Similarly copper dropped the most in two months and gold and silver fell.

BHP Billiton Production Report For The Half Year Ended 31 December 2007
Production was significantly up in 13 commodities, with record or equal record production achieved in seven major commodities during the half year ended December 2007. These records were delivered in 12 assets across six of our nine Customer Sector Groups. This performance reinforces our strong track record of project delivery. Our deep inventory of expansion projects underpins further growth.
We have a broad exposure to the steel making sector through our iron ore, manganese and metallurgical coal operations and achieved record shipments in all of these commodities; delivering an eighth consecutive half year production record at Western Australia Iron Ore. This was achieved at a time when current demand and the outlook remain very strong and prices for these commodities reached record levels.
The newly commissioned petroleum projects contributed to a record performance. Continuing ramp up of production from these projects and future expansions will enhance our net long energy position at a time of historically high energy prices.
We continued to focus on developing and delivering world class projects. First product was delivered from seven major projects across five commodities during the quarter. This, along with four major projects scheduled to commission in the next six months will significantly increase our production. A further four major projects were sanctioned recently, including the third port in Newcastle, which will underpin our Australian East Coast expansion plans in Energy Coal.

Gold and Copper Potential at Yandeyarra
Late in 2007 our Exploration Manager undertook a first foray to the Yandeyarra Joint Venture ground in order to scope out the 2008 exploration program. Reconnaissance was limited mainly to documented mineral occurrences and areas highlighted by historic exploration over parts of the ground. Though this was a limited sampling campaign, the assay results are encouraging because they strongly indicate polymetallic mineralisation that has not been the focus of previous exploration. Our field campaign at Yandeyarra will be getting underway in February. - Web Site

Galoc Weekly Drilling Update - 15 to 21 January 2008
Nido Petroleum Ltd (Nido) is pleased to provide this weekly update on the development of the Galoc oil field, offshore Palawan Basin, The Philippines.
The Galoc 3 and 4 horizontal production wells have now been drilled and the completion process has commenced.
Current Operations
As advised in the previous project update, there were some mechanical problems encountered during the running of the production tubing into the Galoc 3 well. The planned programme was suspended while replacement parts were delivered and adverse weather conditions passed. Once the problems are rectified and the planned programme is resumed, apart from the delay, there should be no lasting impact to the development.
Forward Plan
It is expected that the project should be back on the planned programme within the next few days after which the installation of the Galoc 3 completion will be concluded. The Galoc 4 well completion will then be installed followed by the commencement of the cleanup and flow testing programme. - Web Site

Schwing #2 Well, South Grosse Tete, Iberville Parish, South Louisiana
Further Gas Shows Recorded - FAR (0-14,500 feet 5%)(>14,500 feet 17.7%)
Since the last report intermediate casing has been run to 12,000 feet and the well has been slowly deepened to 12,088 feet. In this interval gas measured at 1750 units against a background of 15 units has been circulated up from what is prognosed to be the main Upper Bol Mex sand. The commerciality of these shows will be determined when the next set of electric logs is run.
Provided downhole conditions allow, the forward plan is to drill to 12,600 feet then run logs, set a 7 5/8" liner and resume drilling in 6 1/2" hole towards the primary target TD at 14,500'.
As reported earlier, 11 feet of gas pay has been identified in the Upper Marg Tex interval and a probable 5 feet of gas pay in the Lower Marg Tex interval of the Schwing #2 well.

BIDAMINNA INFERRED RESOURCE
Image Resources wishes to confirm the classification of the Bidaminna resource referred to in yesterday's ASX release. The Bidaminna resource was drilled and reported on by Geopeko (a subsidiary of Peko Exploration Ltd) in 1992 (Annual Report, Cataby Joint Venture, August 1992). Image has previously referred to Bidaminna as an Inferred Resource (ASX release 15 July 2005).
The resource was drilled by Geopeko using an aircore method with drill holes on a 400m x 40m spacing. Rotary split samples were processed at Western Geolabs' laboratory in Perth. The resource was estimated using a polygonal cross sectional method applying a bulk density factor of 1.7 and a heavy mineral (HM) cut-off grade of 1%.
Geopeko classified Bidaminna as an Indicated Resource totaling 44Mt @ 3% HM, however as some minor aspects of the original data can no longer be verified, Image is confident that Bidaminna can be classified as a JORC-compliant Inferred Resource.
Image holds tenements over about 40% of the Bidaminna resource area and upon grant of the tenements plans to carry out further tests to validate and upgrade the resource in this area. - Web Site

MINCOR DELIVERS FIRST NICKEL PRODUCTION ON SCHEDULE FROM CARNILYA HILL
Massive Sulphide Ore Body Intersected on 10 Level as Expected
Australian nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) has achieved another milestone in its growth after successfully bringing its seventh Kambalda nickel mine, the $28 million Carnilya Hill Project, into production, on schedule and just 19 months after its discovery.
The Company said today (Wednesday) that underground development at Carnilya Hill had intersected massive sulphide ore on the 10 Level as expected, and that the first ore parcel had been delivered to surface - a little over 6 months since construction commenced in July last year.
The start of production at Carnilya Hill highlights the success of Mincor's growth strategy in the Kambalda region, based on a combination of aggressive exploration and targeted acquisitions.
The Company concluded an earn-in joint venture deal with View Resources Ltd in early 2006, enabling it to earn a 70% interest in the Carnilya Hill tenements, including the historic Carnilya Hill mine. Mincor's exploration team commenced work in March and the discovery hole was drilled during June 2006. Following a rapid drill-out phase, feasibility studies were completed and a formal development decision was announced in June 2007...... - Web Site

Diptank drilling update
Drilling at the Diptank copper-gold project in northern NSW has been completed with 9 RC holes for 898.9 metres drilled. 6 of the 9 holes penetrated sand and gravel cover sequences and intersected a granitic rock. Drilling conditions prevented 3 of the holes penetrating through the cover sequences.
Samples of drill cuttings have been submitted for assay and additional sampling for petrological studies of the granitic rock is underway.
Initial assay results from samples submitted prior to the Christmas break are expected in early February.
The drilling is investigating a large (2.5 km diameter) magnetic anomaly to determine its potential to be associated with a large intrusive with related mineralization. Prior to the drilling, elevated levels of copper, lead and gold had been recovered in rocks located peripheral to the magnetic anomaly. Field observations during the drilling will be reviewed and interpreted in conjunction with the assay and petrological reports when received.
Diptank is located 100 kilometres to the south east of Bourke in the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW. - Web Site

An unusual emergency interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve gave Wall Street a partial rebound Tuesday from a precipitious early decline -- and perhaps the first steps toward a long-term recovery. The rest of the comeback, for the economy as well as the stock market, may depend on a turnaround in the battered housing market and renewed confidence among U.S. consumers.
The Fed moved before the opening of trading, cutting its benchmark federal funds rate by 0.75 percentage point to 3.50 percent and the discount rate, the interest the Fed charges banks directly, to 4 percent.
Still, its effect on Wall Street wasn't overwhelmingly positive. The Standard & Poor's 500 index, the broad market measure most closely followed by traders, fell 14.69, or 1.11 percent, to 1,310.50, while the Nasdaq composite index lost 47.75, or 2.04 percent, to 2,292.27.
The Dow Jones industrial average, down 465 points shortly after trading began, bounced around throughout the session before closing with a milder drop of 128.11 (1.06%).
The yield on the benchmark US 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, sank to 3.48 percent from 3.63 percent late Friday.
Copper fell to a one-month low on speculation the U.S. will slip into a recession, curbing demand for the metal used in pipes and wires.
Gold rose after an emergency cut in U.S. borrowing costs reduced the value of the US dollar, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR CONSOLIDATED AS PALMARY BACKS LONG-TERM GROWTH VISION
Consolidated Poised to Become a Significant Force in the Global Resource Sector
Consolidated Minerals Limited (ASX: CSM, AIM: CNM, FSE: CMN - "Consolidated ") is set to embark on a significant new chapter in its history as a diversified resources group after today announcing plans to accelerate its growth strategy as an unlisted company - with the backing of its new owner, Palmary Enterprises ( "Palmary ").
Underpinned by its existing manganese, chromite and nickel businesses - and now with the backing of a major international commodities and raw materials group - Consolidated said it would pursue a growth strategy through a combination of acquisitions and expansion of its manganese and nickel businesses.
"Following a very positive and productive series of meetings last week with Palmary 's senior management team led by owner Mr Gennadiy Bogolyubov, I am pleased to confirm that Palmary has given its strong support and backing to the core elements of our existing growth and development strategy, " said Consolidated 's Managing Director, Mr Rod Baxter.
"The key difference is that this strategy will now be accelerated and significantly expanded thanks to the global networks, extensive asset base and greatly expanded range of opportunities that Palmary brings to the table, " he said.

FOX REPAYS $4M PROJECT FUNDING TO SINOSTEEL;
RIO TINTO BEGINS PRE-STRIP AT WHUNDO
Fox Resources Limited ( "Fox ") (ASX: FXR) today announced that it has repaid the $4 million project loan for zinc concentrates from the West Whundo copper/zinc project from Sinosteel Australia ( "Sinosteel "). Sinosteel, China 's largest importer of iron ore provided Fox with a $4 million pre-payment on 4 May 2007 for zinc concentrate sales from the Company 's West Whundo Copper Zinc mine through an offtake agreement.
"It is prudent that the Company maintains a position of being completely bank and project debt-free. It 's encouraging to be able to repay Sinosteel early and we look forward to what 2008 has in store for our next phase of growth; " said Managing Director, Don Harper.
In addition to the West Whundo zinc offtake agreement with Sinosteel, Fox also has an offtake agreement with Jinchuan Group Ltd, China 's largest nickel producer for all copper concentrate sales from the West Whundo.
Fox has also struck a deal with Pilbara mining giant Rio Tinto ( "Rio ") to mine the overburden at the Whundo copper/zinc project (Figure 1). The waste from Whundo is being used for Rio 's construction of a rail siding along its railway from Pannawonica to the Port of Dampier which bypasses the Whundo deposit. Rio will excavate at no cost to Fox an estimated 300,000t of waste material covering the Whundo deposit (Figure 2). Fox estimates a saving of up to $3 million in mining and rehabilitation costs. A re-evaluation of the economic upgrade rom the Whundo open pit which contains 11,000t of copper and 8,000t of zinc metal is underway.
The Company has completed additional metallurgical drilling as part of the previously announced feasibility study on the West Whundo ore. A causeway was built into the West Whundo pit (Figure 3) from where diamond drilling into the stage one primary copper zinc ore (Figure 4) was undertaken. Previous metallurgical samples taken in early 2007 were not representative of the ore zone. Metallurgical tests are currently being undertaken at the Ammtec laboratory in Perth with results expected next week. Successful metallurgical results have the potential to significantly increase the West Whundo mining reserve. - Web Site

Hanabero 3 Drilling progress
Geodynamics is delighted to announce that since the last update drilling has continued in the 216 mm diameter hole in the granite and target depth (TD) of 4,221 m (13,850 ft) was reached this morning. In addition to reaching TD the target fracture zone was intersected at 4,180 m (13,716 ft).
The intersection of the target fracture zone was confirmed through pressure excursions in monitoring devices in both Habanero 1 and Habanero 3. These excursions confirmed the existence of a hydraulic connection between the two wells. The intersection was within the error of the predicted depth based on seismic analysis by consultants Q-Con GmbH.
Following the intersection of the target fracture zone, drilling was suspended for a short time to balance up the managed pressure drilling systems before drilling recommenced through the fracture zone to TD.
The completion of drilling in Habanero 3 marks a significant milestone in the development of Geodynamics. Habanero 3 is the largest well of this depth ever drilled onshore in Australia and is the first commercial scale Hot Fractured Rock production well to be drilled.
The next steps to be undertaken to finalise Habanero 3 include:
These activities are expected to be completed within 7 days thus allowing "proof of concept" testing to commence thereafter. - Web Site

HERON ENTERS TECHNOLOGY LICENSING AND PRODUCT SUPPLY AGREEMENT FOR JUMP-UP DAM PROJECT
Heron Resources Limited is pleased to announce that it has entered into a master technology licensing and product supply agreement with BHP Billiton. The agreement covers Jump-up Dam and other nickel laterite projects that Heron develops in the Eastern Goldfields, excluding the area of the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project.
Heron's Managing Director, Mathew Longworth, said that the agreement is an extrememly exciting development for Heron as BHP Billiton has developed extensive nickel laterite heap and atmospheric leach technology which is protected by Australian and international patents.
"Without legal access to this technology, stand alone heap leach projects run the risk of infringing these patents if they proceed. We are very pleased to be currently the only party in Australia with legal access to these patents," said Mr Longworth..... - Web Site

Massive 18km long channel/strand target at Bidaminna
Following reprocessing of geophysical data and reinterpretation of drilling results over the Bidaminna Resource, Image has outlined a very large channel/strand target at Bidaminna which is 18km long and averages 500m in width with sections up to 1km in width. This target is much larger than the channels drilled to date at Cooljarloo which at this stage total some 9km in length.
The Bidaminna Resource (44Mt @ 3% HM), which was previously drilled out by Geopeko outlining a deposit some 6km in length and 400m in width, is situated just 1km to the west of the new target. This augers well for the new target zone which is three times the length and is 100m wider on average. In addition, the interpreted magnetic data for this new target is high in quality, with good line to line correlation. The average ground magnetic amplitude of the anomaly outlining the new target zone is 0.9nT which is similar to that at the Bidaminna Resource.
Image holds tenements over 40% of the extent of the Bidaminna Resource. It also has an additional 6km long target directly along strike and north of the Resource. In total there are more than 30km of new targets shown up by this recent work outside Bidaminna Resource....... - Web Site

Shareholder Update
Marathon Resources Limited ( "Marathon ") has noted the diminution in its share price over the past three weeks. Although directors are not aware of any specific reason for the change in price, they are aware that it has occurred in an environment which has seen Australian share prices fall for the most prolonged period in more than 20 years.
Directors are also aware of media comments and speculation from parties outside of Marathon concerning the manner in which the company has disposed of exploration materials at its Mt Gee project in South Australia. Marathon is conscious of its continuous disclosure requirements and advises it is currently working with Primary Industries and Resources South Australia ( "PIRSA ") and the Environmental Protection Authority ( "EPA ") on this issue.
Marathon has commenced an internal investigation into exploration practices adopted to assess compliance with its Exploration Licence requirements. The company has comprehensive records and photographs of all processes undertaken and if PIRSA and EPA require further work to be done, the company's records enable it to do whatever is required, and it will.
Exploration work at the company 's Mt Gee project has resumed after the holiday break. It is anticipated that there may be some delay to the program while procedures for disposal of exploration materials are clarified. Once the extent of any delay is known, the market will be advised.
Appointment of Mt Gee Project Executive
The Board of Marathon is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. W Ian McRae as Mt Gee Project Executive.

..I am pleased to advise you that our quarterly report, lodged with the ASX this week, confirmed that we have started to extract coal from the second longwall block at our Newpac mine and that development activities are progressing satisfactorily. We are now back on track, with our present longwall capable of producing over 4 million run-of-mine tonnes per annum. As you know, we plan to increase production to 8 million tonnes per annum by 2010, following the introduction of a second longwall, and this will coincide with expansion of Newcastle port infrastructure.
Your company is also in a strong financial position, following the $165 million rights issue at the end of last year and the subsequent pay-out of our restrictive debt facilities.
The Independent Expert's Report, included in the Target's Statement we sent you recently, valued your Resource Pacific shares at between $3.56 and $4.09, with a preferred value of $3.82 per share. The report concluded that Xstrata's offer of $2.85 per share is NOT FAIR and NOT REASONABLE. .... - Web Site

LAE JEHE DRILL RESULTS CONTINUE TO IMPRESS
Herald Resources Limited is pleased to announce positive assay results from recently completed drill holes at the Lae Jehe prospect, located about 1.5km north of the main Anjing Hitam orebody and 800m north of the planned concentrator site in Sumatra.
Lae Jehe is the most advanced target to provide future mill feed following the initial seven year mine life at Anjing Hitam. The combined Resources at Lae Jehe stand at 6.5Mt at 11.3% Zn, 6.1% Pb, (Indicated Resource of 4.6Mt at 11.6% Zn, 6.2% Pb and Inferred Resource of 1.9Mt at 10.6% Zn, 5.9% Pb).
Drill hole SOP278D, at the southern end of Lae Jehe Deeps on section 11000N (Figures 1 & 2), intersected 9.60m at 10.7% Zn, 7.1% Pb within the M2 horizon and two narrow intersections of massive sulphides within the Basal Zone of the Julu Unit.
Herald Chairman Terry Allen said today 's results were especially significant because of the location of the intersection at the very southern end of the resource model.
"It is a good indication that further resources for Lae Jehe will continue to be defined in this southerly direction, " said Mr Allen.
A majority of the Resources announced for Lae Jehe are in the M2 horizon.
In the same general area, SOP271D obtained a downhole intersection of 3.3m at 13.5% Zn, 7.1% Pb in the M2 horizon and a downhole intersection of 4.94m at 9.1% Zn, 5.5% Pb in the M4 horizon..... - Web Site

New High Grade Zinc Intersected at Victoria
Kagara Ltd is pleased to announce that the first diamond drill hole completed at the Victoria prospect near Chillagoe in far north Queensland has intersected 26.84 metres assaying 6.0% zinc, 0.6% copper and 11 grams per tonne silver from a depth of 176.56 metres. Included within this outstanding intersection, which equates to an approximate true width of 20 metres, is 7.69 metres assaying 14.6% zinc from a depth of 176.56 metres. This intersection is particularly significant in that it is drilled beneath a number of shallow Reverse Circulation holes drilled in November 2005, which outlined a lower grade, narrower zone of mineralisation over a 400 metre strike length.
Victoria lies five kilometres due east of the Mungana treatment plant site and any ore discovered at Victoria would be ideal feed into the Mungana facility.
A second diamond drill rig has recently arrived to accelerate the pace of exploration at Victoria and further details will be provided as exploration proceeds. - Web Site
