Stocks finished mixed as lackluster economic reports offered Wall Street little incentive to place big bets ahead of a long weekend.
Disappointing data on manufacturing, consumer confidence and import prices reminded investors on Friday that the US economy is struggling.
As a result, a week that began with a rally closed on a subdued note.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 9 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 3.36 billion shares, down from 3.64 billion on Thursday.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 28.77, or 0.23 percent, to 12,348.21. The blue-chip index ended the week with a gain of 1.36 percent.
Broader stock indicators were mixed. The Standard & Poor's 500 index edged up 1.13, or 0.08 percent, to 1,349.99 to finish the week with a 1.40 percent gain. The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index fell 10.74, or 0.46 percent, to 2,321.80 to close the week with an advance of 0.74 percent.
Copper rose the most in a week after inventories monitored by the London Metal Exchange tumbled 9.7 percent this week, the most since October 2005.
Gold fell, capping the first weekly loss in four, on speculation a recession will slow demand for the precious metal and other commodities.
Platinum surged 3 per cent to hit a record high for the 12th consecutive day on Friday, with acute power problems in top producer South Africa encouraging investors and consumers to buy up the metal.

Isaac Plains Coal Project: 232% Increase in ROM Reserves
Aquila Resources Limited ("the Company") is pleased to announce a 232% increase in the run-ofmine Coal Reserves of the Isaac Plains Coal Project, in which the Company and Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (VALE) each have a 50% joint venture interest.
The Isaac Plains Coal Project is located approximately 7 kilometres south east of the town of Moranbah in the Bowen Basin region of central Queensland. It is comprised of the Isaac Plains North and Isaac Plains South coal deposits, separated by a distance of approximately 15 kilometres. Mining operations were initially commenced at the Isaac Plains North deposit in late 2006 at an initial production rate of 1.2Mtpa and included the construction of coal processing facilities and associated power, water, road and rail infrastructure.
It is proposed that the Isaac Plains South deposit be developed later this year, subject to completion of regulatory approvals, as part of the Integrated Isaac Plains Project which involves mining operations at both deposits using a combination of truck and shovel and also dragline methods, with processing and railing occurring at the existing Isaac Plains North facilities. The expanded project area is shown on the attached locality plan. - Web Site

Completion of Pajingo Acquisition
North Queensland Metals (NQM) has today completed all contractual obligations in relation to the acquisition of a 60% interest in the Pajingo gold mine, approved by NQM shareholders on 4 February 2008. $4.4 million has been paid to Newmont Australia Pty Ltd to complete the acquisition for a total consideration of $15 million comprising $9.4 million cash and the balance in NQM shares. NQM effected successful capital raisings of $4.6 million and $7.5 million in December 2007 and February 2008 respectively.
The Pajingo acquisition has changed NQM into a significant gold producer. Operations at Pajingo have progressed ahead of expectations since NQM became the operator on 30 December 2007. The first gold was poured in late January, and the second pour, yesterday, realised 2,961oz of Gold and 3,208oz of Silver. All the gold production is unhedged.
Pajingo is scheduled to produce approximately 300,000 ounces of gold over a five year mine life. Re-estimation of the near mine reserves and resources is currently in progress with an announcement on this expected in the current quarter. - Web Site

Resource Pacific Directors' Recommendation on Xstrata's Revised Offer
Status of Third Party Discussions
Following the declaration of Xstrata's Offer as Final on 8 February 2008, Resource Pacific engaged in further discussions with third parties who were interested in putting a competing proposal to all shareholders.
The Board of Resource Pacific was interested in pursuing one particular proposal for the benefit of shareholders. A confidentiality agreement was signed and due diligence investigations including site visits, management presentations and information exchange were undertaken. There were also intensive discussions with the objective of determining if a superior proposal could be developed within a short period of time.
After detailed consideration, the Resource Pacific Board has formed the view that it is unlikely that a superior proposal could be developed in a timely manner with that third party and accordingly has concluded these discussions.........
Directors' Unanimous Recommendation
While the Resource Pacific Directors do not believe that $3.20 per share recognises the full, long term value of Resource Pacific and its future opportunities, given the circumstances described above and the risks associated with holding Resource Pacific shares, the Board of Directors makes the following unanimous recommendation to shareholders:

Response to Zinifex ASX Release
Allegiance made full and immediate disclosure of trading losses
Zinifex Australia Limited ('Zinifex') today made a release about Allegiance Mining NL's (Allegiance's) recent share trading losses. Allegiance has for several years conducted and made full disclosure about limited investment trading activities.
Most of the recently reported share trading losses were identified after the date of Allegiance's Target's Statement, so could not have been disclosed in it as Zinifex suggests.
Allegiance made full disclosure of the losses on 31 January 2008, as soon as the amount of the losses was determined, and over a week before this issue was mentioned in the press. The disclosure comprised detailed information over nine lines of text, not one line as Zinifex said today. Allegiance considers that the losses reported are the maximum amount claimed and may be less but not more.
Allegiance terminated its investment activity immediately after the January losses were identified.
Allegiance considers that Zinifex is using inaccurate statements about the losses and their disclosures as a diversionary tactic in the context of its opportunistic and inadequate $1.00 per share takeover bid for Allegiance. Allegiance notes the lack of traction in acceptances of Zinifex's offer which is about to enter its seventh week.
Notwithstanding this Allegiance remains prepared to discuss with Zinifex improvements to the terms of its bid. - Web Site

Amended Company Update
The Exploration - Wau / Bulolo - PNG section has been amended as follows.
Exploration - Wau / Bulolo - PNG
Highlands will undertake an exploration program during the 2008 year on Exploration Licence EL 1340 Bulolo, which covers the western portion of the Wau-Bulolo Graben. The area has historical production of some 4 million ounces of alluvial gold and is host to a number of known deposits, the largest of which is the Hidden Valley deposit which is currently being developed. Work completed previously by Highlands in 1995, including trench sampling and diamond drilling, has produced encouraging gold grades.
The budget for the program will be in the order of USD1-1.5 million and will include 2,000 metres of drilling.
An update on Yangalemu will be released as additional drilling information becomes available. - Web Site
Company Update
Highlands has recently undergone a major change with the disposal of its Kainantu gold mine and surrounding Exploration Licences, to Barrick Gold Corporation for USD141.5 million.
In light of this, the Company believes that its interest in two other developing world-class assets and highly prospective Exploration Licences, combined with cash reserves in the vicinity of USD30 million and no debt, provides an excellent platform for future growth and potential.
Ramu Nickel and Cobalt Project - Papua New Guinea

RESOURCE INCREASE AT WATERLOO
Kagara Ltd is pleased to report a significant upgrade to resources at its 100% owned Waterloo deposit, as a result of drilling carried out prior to the wet season. The deposit has increased from 244,000 tonnes of inferred resource to 464,000 tonnes of indicated and inferred resource at a grade of 15.5% zinc, 2.9% copper, 2.2% lead, 76 grams per tonne silver and 1.39 grams per tonne gold. The deposit remains open along strike and down dip and has only been drilled to a maximum depth of 250 metres (see attached longitudinal projection). No drilling is currently being carried out due to access but will recommence in April following the wet season.
The Vomacka and West 45 deposits at Thalanga have also been re-optimised, resulting in increased metal contents for both deposits. Further optimisation currently being carried out, incorporating additional drilling and using a lower cut-off grade of 0.5% copper, will further increase the resource at Vomacka.
It is expected that the copper contained in the Vomacka oxide resource will be recoverable via leaching and processing through the ion exchange-electrowinning circuit being installed on site at Thalanga for water treatment.
Preliminary metallurgical test work being conducted on transitional ore from Vomacka has shown reasonable recoveries of zinc and further test work, including leaching of copper, will be carried out to optimise recovery and separation of lead and copper.
Preliminary work on Waterloo, West 45 and Vomacka primary are indicating good recoveries of all metals. - Web Site

Mount Richardson WA RC drilling confirms significant Fe mineralisation
Potential for on strike and parallel extensions
Iron Mountain Mining Ltd (ASX code: IRM) has completed an RC drilling program at its wholly owned Mount Richardson iron project 120 km west of Leonora in Western Australia. Assay results confirm extensive high grade iron mineralisation encountered with an earlier RAB program.
Twenty Nine (29) holes with an average depth of 84 metres were drilled with an average spacing between lines of 200 metres and along lines of 25 metres.
The drilling program has identified several pods of haematite mineralisation with sufficient grade and tonnage to be considered for economic exploitation. Further infill drilling will test the continuity of the ore body and provide data for a JORC compliant resource in the range of 3 to 5 million tonnes at better than 60% Fe.
In addition, further drilling will test both on strike and parallel extensions to the mineralisation once Ground Disturbance Applications lodged with the Western Australian Department of Industry and Resources are finalised.- Web Site

Drilling Report
WELL NAME: NW Paua 1, PNG
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs on 14 February, the NW Paua 1 well was at a depth of 3,011 metres and attempting to free stuck drillpipe. Progress for the week was 334 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 3,400 metres.
WELL NAME: Cobra 1, PNG
Oil Search reports that the Cobra 1 well in PNG re-spudded on 12 February. As at 0600 hrs on February 14, the well was at a depth of 65 metres, continuing to access the original hole which had been drilled to a depth of 167metres before the site issues occurred.
Cobra 1 is located in PPL 190 and lies 13 kilometres east of the SE Gobe oil field and 7 kilometres east of the Bilip oil discovery. The well is targeting the Iagifu Sandstone, which is the principal reservoir in the Gobe and SE Gobe fields, in a seismically-defined sub-thrust prospect. Cobra 1 is the first in PNG to target a sub-thrust play as the primary target.
WELL NAME: Salma-1 ST, Egypt
Oil Search reports that during the week, the Salma-1ST well encountered mechanical problems in the wellbore after reaching a depth of 2,957 metres. The drill-pipe had to be severed in order to free the drill-string and the remaining parts could not be recovered. Consequently the joint venture partners decided to plug and abandon the well rather than to side-track again. The Salma exploration well is planned to be re-spudded at a later date, after a review of the well design.
The rig will now move to the Shahd South East prospect, four kilometres from the producing Shahd field. Shahd SE is a high relief tilted horst block and the well will target the Bahariya and the Kharita Sandstones.
WELL NAME: Dahgah-1, Yemen
Oil Search reports that as at 0600 hrs Yemen time (+2 hrs GMT) on 13 February, the Dahgah-1 well was at a Total Depth of 2,696 metres in Basement and was conditioning the hole for further logging. Following completion of the logging programme, further evaluation options will be assessed.
During the week, 25 metres of additional Basement was drilled and wireline logs were acquired.
Dahgah-1 is located in Block 43, approximately five kilometres east of the Nabrajah Oil Field. The primary objective of the well is the Qishn clastics, being produced at Nabrajah.- Web Site

Important initial result at Kamarga - 22m @ 5% zinc - lead
The results at Kamarga in NW Queensland (cumulative intersection of good mineralisation - 39m @ 4.8% Zn/Pb) are important because they point to a new undrilled target zone that may contain a large, high grade deposit. These recent results are twice as good as anything found by previous explorers. Our objective is to find something twice as good again - and certainly the geological indications are good as we move towards the Bream Fault which is interpreted to be the source of the mineralising fluids.
The Einasleigh Project in N Queensland continues to be our main focus with two drill rigs working for the last month on the Jackson deposit, and the Feasibility Study on schedule and progressing well. Progressive results from the Jackson drilling will be available within a month.
Copper Strike's financial position to support all this work, and two drill holes at Linda in Tasmania in March, is very strong with over $10million in the bank. - Web Site

0.5% U3O8 in first Uranium Assays from Labrador Property
Farm-in partner Altius Resources Inc. has provided GCR with preliminary uranium assays of rock chip samples from the Notakwanon property in eastern Labrador, Canada.
Two samples, from the Caribou Run and Notakwanon 3 East prospects, returned 0.51% U308 and 0.49% U308, respectively. The prospects are about 1.5 kilometres apart and about 1 kilometre from the main Notakwanon 1 prospect, for which results are still awaited. Additional anomalous rock chips were gathered in an area north and east of Notakwanon 1, which returned 0.06% to 0.26% U308. Prospect locations are shown on the attached map. Additional information is available on the GCR website.
The samples were analysed at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver, Canada, using Multi-Spectral ICP and XRF techniques, which showed good correlation. Results were reported, and are shown on the attached map, in parts per million (ppm) uranium. For reporting purposes and to conform to the general industry standard the results have been converted to %U308, using a multiplier of 1.18. For comparison, Australian uranium deposits generally contain average grades of between 0.1% and 0.5% U308.
GCR may earn a 50% interest in the Notakwanon property by issuing 25 million GCR shares and spending C$3.5 million on exploration over five years. - Web Site

OceanaGold Announces Didipio Drill and Exploration Update
Didipio Gold-Copper deposit
Over the last nine months, an infill drilling program has been conducted at Didipio to improve the understanding of the high-grade gold-copper core located in the northern area of the deposit. The Didipio deposit currently contains an NI 43-101 compliant reserve of 32.98 Mt at 1.48 g/t Au & 0.58% Cu, making it one of the highest grade gold-copper porphyrys in the world. The deposit remains open at depth and based on current proven and probable reserves, has a 15 year mine life.
Drill results in Appendix 1 show a number of promising intervals that have further improved geologic understanding of the deposit and increased the confidence within the high-grade gold-copper core.
DDH0202 (Diagram A) reported 267 metres (145.4m true width) of 2.42 g/t Au & 0.39% Cu and included 50 metres (32.1m true width) of 7.58 g/t Au & 0.73% Cu. This interval began at a depth of 212 metres from surface and it pierced the centre of the high grade zone.
Approximately 100 metres south of DDH0202; holes DDH0205 and DDH0206 (Diagram B) were targeting the southern edge of the high grade gold-copper core. DDH0205 reported 265 metres (107.8m true width) of 1.24 g/t Au and 0.47% Cu. Results from this hole have helped to improve the understanding of the transition between the high grade core into lower grade material. DDH0206 reported 330 metres (91.0m true width) of 1.96 g/t Au & 0.57% Cu and included a 26 metre interval (7.2m true width) of 10.40 g/t Au & 2.19% Cu. This hole has been successful in extending the high grade core both down-dip and further to the south.
This drill program is scheduled to be completed by the end of the first quarter 2008..... - Web Site

Pryme Sells Condor Project to BP
Together with its Joint Venture partner Wave Exploration Group LLC, Pryme has successfully closed on the sale of the Condor Project to the premier Tuscaloosa Trend operator, BP. Under the terms of the sale, Pryme received a cash payment and overriding royalty interest in future potential wells drilled on 1069 net acres.
The Condor Project is located along the Tuscaloosa Trend in central Louisiana. The Tuscaloosa Trend has recently experienced a resurgence in deep exploration activity which has been led by BP/Amoco. The Condor project area includes multiple Tuscaloosa targets that have historically produced more than 100 Billion Cubic Feet (Bcf) of gas.
Wave believes that the area has deep potential similar to that explored at Judge Digby Field by BP. Wells in that field have had initial daily gas flows exceeding 40 million cubic feet at depths greater than 20,000 feet. - Web Site

Wall Street moved sharply higher Wednesday after the Commerce Department reported an unexpected increase in retail sales last month and eased some concerns about consumers' willingness to spend despite economic uncertainty. The Dow Jones industrials rose nearly 180 points.
Advancing issues led decliners by a 2 to 1 margin on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.64 billion shares, down from 3.92 billion shares on Tuesday.
Crude oil rose after government reports showed that U.S. retail sales unexpectedly climbed and gasoline demand increased.
Platinum rose to a record, breaching $2,000 an ounce, as South Africa's state-owned electric utility advised mines that power shortages will persist for four years. Palladium also gained.

Updated Resource Statement
Updated mineral resources for the Prairie Downs Zinc Project
Resource Statement
ALL LODES GLOBAL RESOURCE - 4.7 million tonnes at a grade of 6.3% zinc, 1.8% lead and 18g/t silver.
ALL LODES HIGH GRADE RESOURCE - 1.6 million tonnes at a grade of 12.3% zinc, 3.7% lead and 36g/t silver.
MAIN LODE HIGH GRADE RESOURCE - 1.2 million tonnes at a grade of 12.7% zinc, 3.3% lead and 38g/t silver.
Prairie Downs Metals Limited has updated mineral resources for the Prairie Downs Zinc Project to include results from all drill programs to December 2007. The updated resource shows a significant increase in grade from previously reported resources.
These results are excellent and clearly demonstrate the potential of the Prairie Downs Zinc Project to deliver world class grades. Tonnage is expected to increase substantially as the existing lodes are drilled out and drilling commences on new discoveries. Full details for these JORC compliant resources are shown below.
The high grade resource should be sufficient for the first five years of production at Prairie Downs with a minimum rate of 300,000 tonnes per annum. The Bankable Feasibility Study currently underway is based upon a plant designed to allow staged expansion of production to one million tonnes per annum as resources are increased. It is expected that the Main Lode will be mined first, probably commencing with an open cut to minimise development costs, before moving underground. ....... - Web Site

APEX PASSES 1 MILLION OUNCE GOLD RESOURCE MILESTONE AT WILUNA
440,000 OUNCES OF HIGH GRADE GOLD RESOURCES ADDED IN FIRST SIX MONTHS AT WILUNA AND WILSONS in WA
Apex Minerals NL (ASX: AXM) is pleased to announce a substantial increase in Mineral Resources at its 100% owned Wiluna and Wilsons deposits in Western Australia as a result of drilling over the past six months.
Drilling at Wiluna has focussed on a small area within just 200 metres of existing mine development and has more than tripled the Mineral Resource in this area to 459,000 ounces, increasing the total Wiluna resource to over 1 million ounces.
Apex has also doubled the Mineral Resource at its nearby Wilsons deposit to over 300,000 ounces.
In its first six months of drilling, Apex has added approximately 440,000 ounces of gold to its resource inventory at Wiluna and Wilsons. The exploration success at Wiluna and Wilsons since acquiring the projects in mid-2007 has exceeded the company's expectations.
A Project Implementation Plan which is due for completion during the June quarter is expected to confirm that the currently defined resource base is more than adequate to justify a project go-ahead and for production to recommence by the end of this year as previously planned. - Web Site

EXPLORATION DRILLING PROGRAM UPDATE - BLOCK 22/12, BEIBU GULF, OFFSHORE CHINA (HZN INTEREST 30%)
Horizon Oil Limited advises that the second well in its exploration drilling program in Block 22/12, offshore China, the Wei 6-12E-1, spudded at 1200 hrs on 12 February 2008. The well is currently drilling ahead in 17½" hole at a depth of 270 mBRT on the way to surface casing depth of 1,240 m. On a trouble free basis the well should be at total depth of 2,520 mBRT by around 22 February 2008.
The well, which will test a structural-stratigraphic prospect approximately 1.7 km east of the Wei 6-12S oil discovery (see map below), is being drilled with the Premium Murmanskaya jack-up rig. There was some delay in moving the rig to the Wei 6-12E-1 location because of bad weather conditions..
The Wei 6-12E-1 well is the second well to be drilled in a program which targets mapped prospects with aggregate potential in excess of 200 mmb oil-in-place. All prospects have been defined with 3D seismic. The third well will appraise the Wei 12-2-1 discovery in the southwest of the block which tested over 2,000 bopd oil from three separate sands in the Eocene Liushagang Formation. The location of the fourth well will be dependent on results of the first three and may have an appraisal / step out objective..... - Web Site

Demerger Progress for Compass Resources NL NSW and Peru Projects
Compass Resources is pleased to advise that a number of changes have been made in order to progress the demerger of its NSW and Peru base and precious metals interests.
Some of these assets are already held in the name of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Raptor Minerals Limited ("Raptor"), formerly called Four Points Exploration Limited. It is planned that the remaining interests and entitlements in NSW and Peru will also be transferred into Raptor. Raptor intends to raise additional capital through an IPO ahead of listing on ASX.
Subject to regulatory approvals, Compass shareholders will receive shares in Raptor via a capital return. Compass is in the process of seeking a ruling on demerger relief from the ATO in respect to this distribution. Compass Shareholders and Option holders will also have priority rights to subscribe to additional capital raised as part of the IPO.
The Compass Board believes that listing of the separated exploration company will bring significant benefits to Compass shareholders through a more aggressive exploration program utilizing a dedicated team with proven success in this field. Shareholders will therefore have exposure to a development and operations company with major resources of lead and cobalt as well as copper, nickel silver and uranium resources, in Compass. They will also have exposure to a major frontier exploration program in NSW and very attractive gold projects in Peru via an investment in Raptor.... - Web Site

Drilling Activity Announcement
Weekly Activity
Following a promising initial liquid flow rate of an estimated 20m3/day (~ 130bbl/day) at COG Mailisu III # 1 a 25 cubic metre tank has been installed on the lease to enable further testing this week.
While the cold conditions have restricted drilling activity, the crew and equipment has been active on working-over several existing shallow oil wells owned by Caspian on the Ashvaz licence area with the intention to restart production from, or increase the productivity of, the wells. These wells were obtained by Caspian with the purchase of the leases.
The sub-zero temperatures of the past 6 weeks are beginning to retreat and by next weekend temperatures (see below) are predicted to improve sufficiently to allow drilling to re-commence at COG Mailisu III #3. This well is designed to further test oil targets in the Palaeogene limestone reservoirs and is Caspian's third in its planned eleven well drilling programme in the northern Fergana Basin, Kyrgyz Republic. - Web Site

MARATHON RESOURCES TO REMEDIATE DISPOSAL SITES
Marathon Resources Limited (ASX: MTN) today accepted the restrictions imposed on the company by the State Government after investigations conducted by PIRSA and the EPA.
Marathon maintained that there was no significant environmental risk or health risk to visitors or wildlife at Arkaroola and this was confirmed by PIRSA and the EPA.
Marathon acknowledges an error of judgment in the manner in which exploration materials at Mt Gee were disposed of but the company had no intention of any breach.
Marathon Chairman, Mr Peter Williams, said today that all exploration material identified as being disposed of incorrectly would be immediately excavated, as soon as PIRSA approval was given, and removed off-site, and on-site rehabilitation will be completed to the satisfaction of the State Government.

Wall Street finished higher in an uneasy session Monday as retail and homebuilders stocks rose on expectations for more interest rate cuts, but banks and insurers fell on worries about further mortgage debt troubles.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 8 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume 1.39 billion shares.
Crude oil rose to a one-month high after Valero Energy Corp. shut its Delaware refinery because of a storm-related power failure yesterday and cold weather moved across the northern U.S.
Copper rose to the highest in more than three months as falling production and slumping inventories heightened speculation that metal supplies will trail demand.
Gold futures rose to a one-week high after energy costs climbed, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against inflation. Silver extended a rally to the highest since 1980.
Platinum soared to a record as Anglo Platinum Ltd., the world's biggest producer of the metal, said its output will decline for a second year.

MINCOR'S PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF THE INTERESTS OF VIEW RESOURCES LTD IN THE CARNILYA HILL JOINT VENTURE
Further to the announcement by Mincor on 8 January 2008 that it had reached agreement with View Resources Ltd to acquire the interests of View in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture and certain other nickel rights. We wish to advise that the conditions associated with the acquisition had not been satisfied by the required date.
The Parties to the proposed transaction have not agreed on a further extension to the date for satisfaction of these conditions and accordingly the agreement has lapsed.
We further advise our shareholders that View Resources Ltd entered voluntary administration on 8 February 2008.
Mincor remains the holder of a 70% interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture, which joint venture is governed by a joint venture agreement containing standard pre-emptive rights in favour of Mincor.
The Carnilya Hill Nickel Mine, which is currently under development by the Joint Venture, and operating under the management of Mincor, has now entered its production ramp-up phase, and work is proceeding on schedule. - Web Site

Operational Update
Project: Shaeffer Ranch
Prospect: Rowena Wilcox
Well: Jean H. Freeborn-1
Jim Wells County, Texas, San Isidro Development Company Operator, Antares 50% Working Interest
As reported last week the attempt to re-perforate the lower most sand sequence at the Jean H.
Freeborn-1 well with "stim guns" was unsuccessful as the gun assembly could not be lowered into
the correct position. After evaluating the possible reasons for this by running various tools, the
operator determined the problem is being caused by a partially collapsed section of casing
coincident with the previous perforations. The section of casing in question has been forced into an
oval shape, presumably as a result of tectonic pressure and the possible shock from the early
attempt to stimulate. It is uncertain as to why the casing failed as it was of adequate grade to
resist this style of damage. A cast iron plug has now been set over this sand and preparations
are underway to test the next 41 foot sequence of sands with stim guns and fracture stimulation if
required. We do not foresee this issue repeating over the next test interval.
Project: Oyster Creek
Prospect: Harrison
Well: Harrison-2
Brazoria County, Texas, Slawson Exploration Operator, Antares 75% Working Interest
The Harrison-2 well has drilled to a depth of 12,924 feet and is differentially stuck at 7,915
feet. The drilling contractor is working the problem and is confident they will retrieve the stuck
pipe and finish the well. As stated last week, this well is being drilled on a turnkey basis and thus
there is no direct cost impact to the joint venture from the delay. - Web Site

New High Grade Zone at Amun Deeps Intersected
Centamin Egypt Limited ("Centamin" or "the Company") (ASX:CNT, AIM:CEY, TSX:CEE) which is developing the first large scale modern gold mine in Egypt, is pleased to announce it has intersected a further extremely high grade zone of gold mineralization during its drilling program at the Sukari project in the Eastern Desert region. The intersection is a significant high grade structure parallel to and below the Hapi Zone.......
The high grade gold assay results in hole D1280 intersected spectacular visible gold and galena in a massive quartz vein (558 – 559m) figure 1 within highly mineralised porphyry, which was drilled as a step-out hole to test the down dip extension of the porphyry in the Amun zone on northing 10550N. This hole intersected a high grade zone of 35m @ 164.09g/t Au from 550m, containing a higher grade zone of 3m @ 1,842.57g/t Au from 557m (including 1m @ 5,420g/t Au from 558m with abundant visible gold).
This deeper structure correlates to 6m @ 15.21g/t Au in hole RCD521 from 542m (figure 2) and 22m @ 21.83g/t Au from 549m in hole RCD1221 25m to the south (announced 21 November 2007).... - Web Site

Positive Results from Smelter Scoping Study
Mirabela Nickel Limited (TSX: MNB, ASX: MBN) is pleased to announce that a scoping study for a nickel sulphide smelter at its Santa Rita project has returned positive results with preliminary cost estimates as follows:
Capital expenditure - US$254m
Operating cost - US$111/t of concentrate
As a result of these encouraging results, the Company is proceeding with a full feasibility study to build a smelter at Santa Rita. A smelter would provide the following major benefits:
- Substantial increase in nickel payability
- Increase in payability for credits for Cu, Co, Au and PGEs.
- Savings on transport costs
- Optimization of mine, concentrator and smelter circuit................ - Web Site
SANTA RITA MINERALIZATION CONTINUES 120 METERS BELOW OPEN-PIT RESERVE
Mirabela Nickel Limited (TSX: MNB, ASX: MBN) is pleased to announce new drilling results that extend mineralization about 120m down dip of the recently announced open-cut mining reserve, with composite intersections up to 135m width grading 0.83% nickel located in the Southern High Grade zone of its Santa Rita project. This mineralization appears to be at a flatter dip, and is expected to substantially increase the current mining reserve of 84 mt grading 0.61% nickel.
The occurrence of such thick mineralization is very encouraging and is expected to contribute to the open-pit mining reserve. Work is continuing to fully evaluate the resource potential of the Southern High Grade zone and its amenability to open pit and underground mining....... - Web Site

Moto Gold Project - 47% Increase in Indicated Mineral Resources
PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA - Moto Goldmines Limited ("Moto" or "the Company") is pleased to report a 47% increase in Indicated Mineral Resources at the Moto Gold Project (the "Project") in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). The Project is a joint venture between Moto and L'Office des Mines d'Or de Kilo-Moto ("OKIMO").
The increase in Indicated Mineral Resources demonstrates the robustness of previous Mineral Resource estimates and further adds to the Project's fundamentals, long life and significant potential.
The revised Mineral Resource estimate was independently undertaken by Cube Consulting Pty Ltd ("Cube") using additional drilling information acquired during the period February 2007 to December 2007. This data was not incorporated in the Mineral Resource estimates of the Project's recently completed Feasibility Study.
Drilling activities during this period were largely in-fill and were focused on the definition of high grade lodes within the Karagba-Chauffeur-Durba ("KCD") mineralization system which have been identified as having significant potential for extraction by underground methods.
Global Mineral Resources for the Project, above a 1.0 g/t Au reporting cut-off, are now estimated to be:
Indicated Mineral Resources 95.3 Mt @ 3.4 g/t for 10.3 Moz Au
Inferred Mineral Resources 96.5 Mt @ 3.6 g/t for 11.3 Moz Au..... - Web Site

Shell's North West Shelf oil assets include its share in the Cossack, Wanaea, Lambert and Hermes oil fields (including the Cossack Pioneer production facility), the Egret oil discovery and remaining active oil exploration portfolio within a tieback distance to the Cossack Pioneer.
The North West Shelf oil asset transfer is subject to standard regulatory and joint venture participant approvals, and additional approvals by the Woodside Board and company shareholders, as well as the Board of Shell.
The sale will increase Woodside's participating interest in the Cossack, Wanaea, Lambert and Hermes fields to 33.33%. The company's interests in the Egret oil discovery area and remaining active oil exploration portfolio within a tieback distance to the Cossack Pioneer will increase to 50%.
The agreement covers estimated proved and probable reserves of 21.3 million barrels of oil equivalent, and an additional 9.3 million barrels of contingent resources, as at 1 August 2007.
The purchase price is equivalent to US$18.71 per barrel of oil equivalent for proved and probable reserves.
In a related agreement, Shell will have a "right of final offer" for Woodside's assets in Libya should Woodside agree to proceed with a sale. - Web Site
