Wall Street topped off a strong week with a big rally Friday, after results from companies like Citigroup Inc. and Google Inc. helped ease investor anxiety about the health of corporate profits.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by more than 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.48 billion shares compared with 1.23 billion shares traded Thursday.
Crude oil and gasoline climbed to records in New York as the better-than-expected earnings results signaled a strengthening economy that may boost demand.
Copper fell, capping the biggest weekly decline in a month, as a stronger US dollar eroded demand from investors buying commodities to hedge against inflation.
Gold fell the most in two weeks as the US dollar rebounded from an all-time low against the euro, reducing the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also dropped.

Drilling Report No. 9 Ayrford-1 Well at 0600 hours PEP 168 Otway Basin Victoria
Essential Petroleum Resources Limited (ASX: EPR) advises that after running initial wireline logs at Ayrford-1, EPR is evaluating an 11m gross interval of sandstone in the Waarre Formation from which gas shows were noted during drilling. Wireline pressure data being acquired today will define the presence or otherwise of a gas column in the formation. Further evaluations may be carried out based on the results of this survey.
The Ayrford-1 well will be followed by the East Wing-1 well. The Ayrford and East Wing prospects have the potential to discover between 10 and 20 bcf of recoverable gas resource.
Essential Petroleum is targeting the onshore extension of the highly productive Pecten High trend, which has offshore discoveries containing more than 400 bcf of gas recovered in the Waarre Formation in the Casino, Henry and Halladale gas fields.
Essential Petroleum owns 100% of the PEP 168 permit. - Web Site

Report for Growler Oilfield Cooper Basin
We have now completed the first phase, which involved the construction of a 22 kilometre production road, construction of central gathering facilities, plus the tie in of Growler-1 & 2 wells to the central facilities.
The final step, which we have just begun, involved the installation of pumps on both wells, put the pumps into operation and begin the Extended Production Test (ETP) to gain knowledge of the wells' output and the reservoir properties.
The EPT which was originally planed for 100 days may be extended to 150 days, from which we will gain sufficient data to proceed to a full Growler Development.
The benefit from the EPT is not only the knowledge gained about the reservoir extent and deliverability, but also the side benefit of cashflow, (especially at $US100.00 per barrel prices. The upward movement in oil prices over the last year is shown on the attached graph.)... - Web Site

SUGARLOAF PROJECT - OPERATIONS UPDATE
Following the announcement earlier this week by London AIM market listed Empyrean Energy plc, an update has been released regarding the "TCEI JV Block A-3 well", which is located on land adjacent to the Sugarloaf Joint Venture. A copy of the Empyrean release follows this update.
The Block A-3 well referred to in the release is located approximately 6km south of the Sugarloaf-1 well, and has produced higher rates of gas and condensate during its second flow test. The well continues to flow without reservoir stimulation from the Austin Chalk formation.
The well is believed to be within the ‘Sugarkane' gas-condensate field and is the first horizontal well to be flow tested.
Whilst Eureka has no interest in Sugarloaf Block A or the Block A-3 well, the results form part of the ongoing appraisal of the ‘Sugarkane' gas condensate field.
Eureka has a 12.5% working interest in the Sugarloaf Joint Venture which holds a gross acreage of approximately 22,199 acres (Eureka: 2,775 net acres)...... - Web Site

Drilling Report No. 8 Ayrford-1 Well at 0600 hours PEP 168 Otway Basin Victoria
Essential Petroleum Resources Limited (ASX: EPR) advises that at 0600 today Ayrford-1 had reached its total depth of 1622mKB at midnight last night and was pulling out of the hole in preparation for wireline logging and pressure testing.
The target, Waarre Formation sandstone, was intersected at approximately 1526 mKB. Elevated background gas with three gas peaks of up to 195 gas units at 1566mKB were recorded. The gross sand interval from 1547 to 1572mKB is of interest and will be evaluated after analysis of the wireline logs and pressures. No oil shows have been recorded.
Overall the formation tops appear to be approximately 10m low to prediction, however, all depths and intervals will be checked and adjusted as wireline log data becomes available. The economic basement Eumeralla Formation was positively identified in cuttings at approximately 1588mKB.
The Ayrford-1 well will be followed by the East Wing-1 well. The Ayrford and East Wing prospects have the potential to discover between 10 and 20 bcf of recoverable gas resource.
Essential Petroleum is targeting the onshore extension of the highly productive Pecten High trend, which has offshore discoveries containing more than 400 bcf of gas recovered in the Waarre Formation in the Casino, Henry and Halladale gas fields.

Wall Street finished an erratic session mixed Thursday after an uneven batch of earnings reports made investors cautious about buying stocks. Disappointing economic readings added to the market's uneasiness a day after a big rally. The market grew jittery after the Philadelphia Federal Reserve said regional manufacturing weakened further in April.
Advancing issues narrowly outnumbered decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.6 billion shares, compared with 4.1 billion traded Wednesday.
Copper fell from a record in New York after a report showed manufacturing in the Philadelphia region this month contracted more than forecast, renewing concern that a slumping U.S. economy may stifle metals demand.
Gold fell in New York as the US dollar rebounded against the euro. Silver also eased, while platinum and palladium gained.

ANDEAN REPORTS 119% INCREASE IN EUREKA WEST GOLD RESOURCE. INCREASES TOTAL CERRO NEGRO RESOURCES TO 2.7 MILLION OUNCES AuEq
Andean Resources Ltd. ( ASX/TSX:AND ) today reported a significant increase in its independent mineral resource estimate for the company's 100 percent owned Cerro Negro gold project in southern Argentina, speeding Andean's transition towards producer status.
Today's upgrade, covering only the Eureka West veins, saw gold resouces grow 119% to a total of 1.36 million ounces Au with silver resources also posting a 190% increase to 23.7 million ounces Ag for a combined gold equivalent resource of 1.8 million ounces at an impressive 15.8 g/t AuEq.
This brings the total resource inventory for Cerro Negro (which includes the Vein Zone deposit of ~ 900,000 ounces Au) to approximately 2.3 million ounces of gold and 23.7 million ounces of silver (or 2.7 million ounces of Gold Equivalent).
Also of note is the significant improvement in the estimated grades reported at Eureka West, which have increased from 6.4 g/t Au previously to today's estimated 12.3 g/t Au ( or 15.8 g/t Au Eq) making Eureka West one of the highest grade gold projects discovered by an Australian gold explorer in recent years.
Today's resource estimate is compliant with NI 43-101 and JORC, and was carried out by independent mining consultants Micon International Ltd. - Web Site

ASSAYS CONFIRM NEW NICKEL SULPHIDE DISCOVERY AT BERTRAM
Pilbara nickel explorer and producer, Fox Resources Limited (ASX: FXR) today announced that reverse circulation drill hole 08BERC003 has intersected shallow, fresh massive nickel and copper sulphides at the Bertram Prospect, located 12km south of the Company's Radio Hill nickel mine in Western Australia (Figure 1).
Preliminary analysis of the massive nickel sulphides by the Company's Radio Hill laboratory (see disclaimer) has resulted in the best intersection of 2m @ 1.1% nickel and 0.3% copper from 56m down hole depth including 1m @ 1.8% nickel and 0.5% copper 57m down hole depth (Figure 2). Drill hole 08BERC003 is the first drill hole to intersect previously untested geophysical targets (Figures 2 & 3) at Bertram. The mineralisation is completely open along strike and down dip.
The Bertram nickel system may have the potential to host a significant tonnage of nickel and copper mineralisation as confirmed by diamond drill holes 07BEDD002 and 07BEDD001, which intersected 1m @ 0.67% nickel from 48m down hole depth and 1m @ 0.58% nickel from 43m down hole depth respectively. The holes were centred approximately 940m apart and did not intersect any known geophysical conductor plates (Figure 3).
Drilling will continue to focus on testing the remaining four known conductor plates. Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLTEM) surveys are scheduled for later in the quarter to test for deeper conductors in the area....... - Web Site

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.
The planned total depth of the well is 3,100 metres.
WELL NAME: Shahd SE-1
Oil Search reports that during the week, the Shahd SE-1 well was drilled to a total depth of 3,063 metres and the well was logged. A total of 17 metres of oil pay has been identified in the Upper and Lower Bahariya Sandstones. Preparations are now underway to conduct a production test over these zones of interest.
The Shahd South East prospect is a tilted fault block adjacent to the producing Shahd oilfield, in the East Ras Qattara concession, Western Desert, Egypt. - Web Site

Mullaquana Uranium Discovery
THREE JOINT VENTURES TO EXTEND URANIUM EXPLORER'S REACH ON S.A.'S EYRE PENINSULA
ASX-listed uranium explorer, UraniumSA Limited (ASX: "USA"), has entered into joint ventures with three other mineral explorers to extend the scope of its uranium exploration on the highly prospective eastern seaboard of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula.
The proposed joint ventures with Australasia Gold Limited ("AAO"), Rex Minerals Limited ("RXM"), and Stellar Resources Limited ("SRZ"), will give UraniumSA the opportunity to follow the southward extensions of a sediment-hosted uranium deposit discovered at its Mullaquana Project, near Whyalla, in December last year.
The terms of the three joint ventures provide for UraniumSA to earn a 70% interest in extensions of the Mullaquana mineralisation, while its three joint venture partners will retain 30% of these sequences, and 100% of all mineralisation discovered in bedrock. ..... - Web Site

Hellyer Mine Project - high grade drill intercept
Another high grade intercept at Fossey Zone of 6.9 metres at 13.4% Zn, 8.9% Pb, 37 g/t Ag and 0.4 g/t Au within a broader zone of 23.5 metres at 5.8% Zn, 3.5% Pb, 17 g/t Ag and 0.4 g/t Au. It was a pleasant surprise, because we drilled under the main barite alteration which hosts most of the other high grade intercepts reported recently and hit this mineralisation in the foot-wall alteration zone.

Minotaur Moves into South Americas Minerals Sector
Minotaur Enters Iron Oxide Copper - Gold (IOCG) Project Northern Chile
Minotaur Exploration Ltd is pleased to announce that it has joined forces with Compania Minera de Chile Ltda, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mariana Resources Ltd, an AIM listed exploration company, to explore the Buenaventura IOCG project in Northern Chile in joint venture with the title holders Sociedad Minera Contractual Buenaventura (Buenaventura CSM).
The Company's initial commitment is US $300,000 in the first twelve months after which the Company may elect to continue or withdraw. Minotaur / Mariana may then earn a 51% participating interest in the project through staged expenditure in the ground of US $3 million over three years. Minotaur / Mariana, having earned 51%, may then earn up to 80% by completing a bankable feasibility study within a further 3 years. Minotaur / Mariana have the right to introduce a funding partner and have first rights to purchase the remaining equity.
The Buevaventura Project comprises 44 square kilometres of exploration concessions in the world class Chilean IOCG coastal Cordillera belt, mid-way between the Candelaria (Freeport) and Manto Verde (Anglo American) major copper mines. Infrastructure and access are excellent, located just 50km north of the regional service centre of Copiapo (Figure 1).
The property is located along the Atacama Fault Complex (which hosts all the major Chilean IOCG deposits) with favourable host rocks of the Punta del Cobre Formation. Copper mineralisation is found in outcrop at four locations that display intense hydrothermal alteration, brecciation and both haematite - copper and magnetite - copper association. Previous drilling completed by Buenaventura CSM focused in and around these areas of outcrop. Copper mineralisation as both oxide (upper levels) and sulphide (deeper levels) was encountered in a number of holes, from near surface to depths of up to 400m, with intervals ranging from 10 to 90m and grades generally in the range 0.2 to 0.5% copper (Table 1)......- Web Site

Greens Creek Mine interest sale completed
Rio Tinto has completed the sale of Kennecott Greens Creek Mining Company and Kennecott Juneau Mining Company, the subsidiaries holding its 70.3 per cent interest in the Greens Creek mine in Alaska to an affiliate of Hecla Mining Company, giving Hecla 100 per cent ownership.
The sale price includes cash consideration of US$700 million and US$50 million in Hecla stock. The transaction, which was announced on 12 February 2008, is part of Rio Tinto's planned programme to divest at least US$15 billion of assets. Rio Tinto also recently completed the sale of its interest in the Cortez gold mine in Nevada for US$1.695 billion in cash along with certain retained contingent royalty interests. With the completion of both transactions, Rio Tinto has achieved close to one quarter of its target of realising asset sales of US$10 billion in 2008.
In November 2007, Rio Tinto announced the results of its overall strategic review of the company's asset portfolio following its acquisition of Alcan. Options are also being explored to divest Rio Tinto Energy America (coal), Rio Tinto Minerals' talc and borates businesses, Rio Tinto Alcan Packaging, Rio Tinto Alcan Engineered Products, Rio Tinto's Northparkes copper mine in Australia and Rio Tinto's Sweetwater (USA) and Kintyre (Australia) uranium assets. - Web Site
First quarter 2008 operations review
Commenting on the first quarter's production results, chief executive Tom Albanese said: "Our expansion drive continues to pay off with a record-breaking first quarter for the iron ore and aluminium product groups. Markets remain very strong and the prices of many of our products are at record highs, bearing out our view that the US slowdown will have little effect on global metal and mineral supply and demand balances.
"The integration of the Alcan acquisition is going well, and our investment assumptions for this business are already being exceeded. This year we expect to invest at record levels across the group in bringing new production onstream, so we can continue to benefit from economies undergoing rapid, metals intensive phases of development."

First Quarter Report for period ended 31 March 2008
Key Points
Q1 production and sales volumes lower compared to corresponding quarter and previous quarter
Strong performance from the Stybarrow field, reinstatement of production from the Corallina field and the ramp up of Otway production only partially offset the production impact of tropical cyclones off the north-west coast of Australia, the Karratha gas plant shutdown in January and natural field decline of our mature oil fields during the first quarter.
Compared to previous quarters, the Q1 2008 production was also negatively impacted by remedial work at Enfield and Mutineer-Exeter as well as the 2007 sale of non-core production assets (Legendre, Chinguetti).
Increased Q1 sales revenue compared to corresponding quarter (Q1 2007)
Sales revenue was up 22% with higher commodity prices outweighing slightly lower sales volumes and a significantly higher AUD to USD exchange rate.
Q1 volumes and revenues lower compared to previous quarter (Q4 2007)
Sales revenue was 6% lower due to reduced volumes.

Wall Street rallied Wednesday after better-than-expected quarterly results from JPMorgan Chase and two other Dow Jones industrials raised investors' hopes that companies and the economy are indeed recovering from the protracted global credit crisis. The Dow rose more than 250 points as investors shrugged off any concerns about oil passing $115 a barrel for the first time. Oil prices rose after a government report showed crude inventories fell unexpectedly last week, the second straight weekly decline.
Advancing issues led decliners by a 5 to 1 basis on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.44 billion shares compared with 1.2 billion shares traded Tuesday.
The Federal Reserve also released its Beige Book report, an outline of regional economic activity that pointed to widespread weakening amid a softening labor market.
Government data showed that consumer inflation pushed higher last month as increases in energy, food and airline tickets overwhelmed the biggest drop in clothing prices in nearly a decade.
In addition home construction plummeted during March to its lowest level in 17 years.
Copper jumped to near its all-time high as fresh indications of China's economic strength boosted speculation that consumption there will leave producers hard pressed to meet demand.
Gold rose to the highest in two weeks after the US dollar dropped to a record against the euro. Silver also gained.
Non Renounceable Rights Issue
On 4 April 2008 African Energy Resources announced that it will be offering eligible shareholders the opportunity to acquire additional fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (Shares) via a non-renounceable rights issue (Rights Issue) on the basis of one (1) Share for every fifteen (15) Shares held at the record date of 15 April 2008.
Shares under the Rights Issue will be offered at 27 cents each. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Rights Issue is 9,858,334 Shares to raise approximately $2,661,750.
The Company is undertaking this issue to fund further feasibility studies on the Chirundu Uranium Project in Zambia and other exploration activities. - Web Site

New Corporate Presentation
A new Corporate Presentation, highlighting exploration potential adjacent to our recently upgraded 1.85Mt (10% zinc + lead) JORC Compliant Mineral Resource near Charters Towers in Queensland (139,000t in-situ zinc, 194,000t in-situ zinc-lead-copper).
The presentation highlights the 4km Liontown Mineralised Corridor, defined by contiguous geochemical and geophysical anomalies and bedrock mineralisation identified in previous drilling, as a prime target area to add to this Resource.
The Liontown Deposit sits approximately midway within this corridor, which itself lies on the Liontown Horizon - a favourable stratigraphic position for the development of base metals mineralisation, interpreted to extend for over 120 km across Liontown Resources' tenements.
Liontown Resources' tenements also feature substantial coverage of the nearby Thalanga and Waterloo Horizons, which also host major base metal mineralisation and past-producing mines elsewhere in the district.
We are planning a 20,000-30,000 metre RAB/Aircore/RC drilling program focusing on the Liontown Mineralised Corridor, commencing in June.
With the landscape rapidly drying out, we look forward to its commencement.- Web Site

Wall Street closed an erratic session moderately higher Tuesday after investors sorted through a mixed batch of data that included a rebound in New York manufacturing, signs of rising inflation and uneven first-quarter earnings.
The market also had its eye on the rising price of crude oil. Concerns about insufficient global supply, stoked by a high-profile report by the International Energy Agency that said Russian oil production dropped this year for the first time in a decade, was largely responsible for the surge.
Following a spate of disappointing readings on the economy, investors were pleased that the New York Federal Reserve reported regional manufacturing expanded modestly in April, after shrinking at a record rate in March.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.49 billion shares, compared to 3.59 billion shares on Monday.
Copper declined in London after the US dollar rebounded, curbing demand for the metal as a hedge.
Tin prices rose to a fresh all-time high as LME-monitored stocks of the grey metal fell for the eighth day in a row to hit their lowest level since 2005, and amid reports Indonesia is set to further limit its output this year.

MORE HIGH-GRADE GOLD AS RAMELIUS READIES FOR W.A. MINE RESTART
A Western Australian gold mine has yielded yet another "super high-grade" gold intercept, just one month before the resumption of open-pit cutback operations designed to lead into full-scale underground mining from mid-year.
The bumper intercept by Ramelius Resources Limited (ASC code "RMS") at its Wattle Dam mine near Coolgardie - included one metre at 902 grams per tonne gold (29 oz/t au).
The intercept, part of a diamond drilling program commenced at Wattle Dam in the Eastern Goldfields in February this year, compliments many other elevated gold hits at Wattle Dam over the past two months.
The lead intercepts have included:
Drill Hole WDDH0036 - 1m at 902 g/t (29 oz/t)

Clarification of Sellheim Announcement Dated 2 April 2008
.....On 2 April 2008, Maximus released an estimate of Inferred Resources at Sellheim of 1 million cubic metres at a grade of 0.52 grams/bcm containing 16,000 ounces of gold. As no reserve has yet been estimated, no production forecast can be estimated either. Maximus comments on production levels should have been called production objectives. Similarly, Maximus' comments on operating costs at this stage are objectives based on comparisons with similar alluvial gold operations which Maximus personnel have visited.
Maximus' intention at Sellheim, being an alluvial gold project, is to enter stage 2 of pre-production with a larger bulk sampling plant, say 50 loose cubic metres (lcm) per hour, to compare results with those from its stage 1 exploration using a plant treating about 2 lcm per hour. If the comparison is good the current Inferred Resource can be converted into an Indicated Resource and no modifying factors will be necessary to convert the Indicated Resource to a Probable Reserve. This is because in an alluvial program, volumes treated and gold recovered do not necessarily need modification. Production forecasts will then be able to be made, in accordance with the JORC code. Stage 3 is intended to consist of alluvial production with a larger treatment rate of over 100 lcm/hr and 24 hrs/day operation...... - Web Site

PEP 168 Ayrford-1 Well Drilling Report No. 6
Essential Petroleum Resources Limited (ASX: EPR) advises that at 0600 today the Ayrford-1 well was at a depth of 1208m and drilling ahead in the Skull Creek Mudstone. The Waarre C Formation, the primary target, is expected to be intersected at a depth of 1516m.
The planned total depth of this well is 1,650m. The Ayrford-1 well will be followed by the East Wing-1 well. The Ayrford and East Wing prospects have the potential to discover between 10 and 20 bcf of recoverable gas resource.
Essential Petroleum is targeting the onshore extension of the highly productive Pecten High trend, which has offshore discoveries containing more than 400 bcf of gas recovered in the Waarre Formation in the Casino, Henry and Halladale gas fields.
Essential Petroleum owns 100% of the PEP 168 permit. - Web Site

First Quarter Operations Review
...Uranium oxide production was 32 per cent higher in the first quarter than the corresponding period in 2007 as there were no major weather events that disrupted production. Production was 15 per cent lower than the fourth quarter in 2007 due largely to the lower mill head grade that is a function of both mine scheduling and the ore body characteristics.
Ore milled for the quarter was 20 per cent higher than the corresponding quarter in 2007 as there were no shutdowns of the plant due to weather. Ore milled was one per cent lower than the prior quarter.
Ore mined was six per cent higher than both the corresponding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2007 as the new mining equipment purchased for the pit expansion began to be put into service, and the equipment targeted extraction of ore near the bottom of the pit.
The force majeure caused by the exceptionally heavy rainfall at the Ranger mine and processing plant in late February and early March 2007 was lifted on 14 January 2008 once ERA's existing delivery commitments under long term contracts were met in 2007 and the company confirmed its ability to meet 2008 delivery commitments.
The wet season is drawing to an end and water levels in the pit are substantially lower than at the same time in 2007. However, currently, there is restricted access to higher grade ore, which is located predominantly in the bottom of the pit. This access should be re-established towards the end of the second quarter, with the mill currently processing stockpiled ore. As a result, average head grade in the second quarter is expected to be in the range of 0.20 to 0.25 per cent uranium oxide and processing of this lower grade will reduce drummed production in the second quarter.
EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION
During the quarter, the exploration and evaluation programme focused on infill drilling to support the previously announced pre-feasibility study (PFS). Expenditure on exploration and evaluation on the Ranger Project Area for the first quarter of 2008 was $3.8 million (2007: $3.7 million).....- Web Site

Second Raven Well Production Status
As discussed in our announcement of 20 March 2008, oil and gas production from the ‘C' and ‘Price Sands' formations in the second well (Grable 15-1) in our Raven project have been successfully comingled and are being delivered to market. Production rates have been increasing and current production is approximately 760 Mcf per day of gas and 20 barrels per day of condensate.
At these rates, and using realised prices of $6.00 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas and $90 per barrel of condensate, Pryme's net monthly revenue from this well is approximately US$50,000. Flow rates from wells in the Cotton Valley Formation do usually decline and then flatten out after reaching stable production. However, if the current production rates can be sustained, this equates to a 30% increase in Pryme's revenue from all projects and underlines the importance of Raven's contribution to Pryme's income..... - Web Site

Stocks finished a quiet session moderately lower Monday as investors grappled with concerns about the health of corporate profits after Wachovia Corp. posted disappointing quarterly results.
Declining issues outpaced advancers by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.18 billion shares compared with 1.26 billion shares traded Friday.
Crude oil rose to a record settlement price and gasoline reached an all-time high after the Group of Seven Nations failed to end the dollar's slide against the euro.
Copper fell to a one-week low as falling equity markets renewed concern that a slowdown in global economic growth may damp metal demand.
Gold rose for the first time in three sessions as the US dollar's decline against the euro enhanced the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also gained.

MINERAL DEPOSITS SIGNS US$35 MILLION BANK DEBT FACILITY
Mineral Deposits Limited is pleased to announce that it has executed documentation and commenced drawdown of the first component of a debt financing package for the further construction and development of the Sabodala Gold Project ("Sabodala") located in the Republic of Senegal, west Africa. The US$35 million Revolving Working Capital Facility has been provided by RMB Australia Holdings Limited and Macquarie Bank Limited.
Sabodala is situated some 650 kilometres east of the capital Dakar and within the Birimian belt and about 90 kilometres from major gold discoveries in Mali. MDL and the Government of the Republic of Senegal ("GRS") have established an operating company to complete the project and then mine the deposit under the terms of the Mining Convention between them. MDL has a 90% holding and GRS a 10% free-carried interest in the new company (Sabodala Gold Operations SA).
The project has proven and probable reserves totalling 1.4 million ounces of gold within a global gold resource of 2.74 million ounces. Sabodala is now 45% complete and remains on schedule to commission the two million tonne treatment plant in late September 2008. The company anticipates an initial gold pour in late October 2008... - Web Site

JAGUAR MINERALS AND RIMFIRE MINERALS CORPORATION TO JOINTLY EXPLORE SPRINGFIELD GOLD PROJECT
The board of Jaguar Minerals Limited ("Jaguar") is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement to enter into an option/joint venture agreement with Rimfire Minerals Corporation ("Rimfire" - TSX-V Code: RFM) to explore Jaguar's Springfield gold project (EL 5991) in New South Wales (the "Project").
Located 12 km south-south east of the historic mining town of Gulgong, and 14 km north-north west of the regional centre of Mudgee, the Project falls within the Central West's Ordovician gold province.
The principal area of interest at the Project is a strong geophysical target that has some similarities to the magnetic bodies that host the Cadia-Ridgeway porphyry ore bodies 80km to the southwest.
Initially, it has been agreed that Rimfire can earn a 51% interest in the Project by spending $1,000,000 on exploration over 4 years. Following this, the parties will either continue exploration together under a joint venture agreement, or Jaguar may elect not to contribute, allowing Rimfire to earn 100% of the project by spending $5 million in exploration on the Project and paying to Jaguar scheduled fees. Should Rimfire decide to sell outright its interest in the project prior to earning 100% of the project, Jaguar would receive 40% of all proceeds. If Rimfire exercises the 100% option and decides to sell any interest, Jaguar would receive 15% of proceeds.- Web Site
Wonarah Drilling Update
The Arruwurra resource drilling programme began last week and in the first two holes drilled the phosphate mineralization was visually interpreted by Minemakers' Geological Manager.
Based on slow progress during the drilling of those holes, the RC drilling rig's performance was less than expected and it has been withdrawn to its base for about three weeks while a booster compressor, larger rods and hammer and superior rod changing equipment are fitted.
This should increase the drilling rate and should enable the programme to be finished about on schedule. More importantly, these changes are aimed to allow the planned testing of both phosphorite horizons and to ensure the necessary consistent sample quality that Minemakers demands..... - Web Site

AWE: confirms discussions with ARC - Web Site
RESPONSE TO SYDNEY MORNING HERALD ARTICLE
ARC Energy Limited ("ARC") refers to press speculation regarding a potential bid by Australian Worldwide Exploration Limited ("AWE") for ARC.
ARC confirms it is in exclusive discussions with AWE that may lead to a transaction being announced. The potential transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including agreement on consideration, completion of due diligence by both ARC and AWE and a number of other matters. ARC has not been provided with an offer in a form capable of acceptance or suitable to be put to shareholders.
Discussions between ARC and AWE are ongoing and until there is greater certainty surrounding the terms of any offer it would be inappropriate for ARC to comment further.
In making this announcement, ARC cautions that there is no assurance that these discussions will result in any specific transaction. ARC will continue to update the market as required. - Web Site

YULE - A NEW EXPLORATION PROJECT FOR DE GREY
De Grey Mining Limited (ASX code: DEG) is pleased to advise that it has entered into a farm-in agreement with Talison Wodgina Pty Ltd (Talison) to explore for base metals and gold at Tambourah and Wodgina, 100 to 170kms south of Port Hedland in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The terms of the agreement, which covers 520km2 of granted tenements and applications collectively called the Yule Project, include:
LIFT CAPITAL PARTNERS PTY LTD
Deep Yellow Limited ("Deep Yellow" or "Company") has been advised by Ms Gillian Swaby, a Director, of her margin lending facility secured by 15,000,000 shares in the Company. This represents only a portion of Ms Swaby's shareholding in the Company.
Recent media reports indicate that securities the subject of margin loan facilities with Lift Capital Partners Pty Ltd ("Lift Capital") may now be under the effective control of, Merrill Lynch International following Lift Capital's appointment of a voluntary administrator.
Ms Swaby maintains that she has retained beneficial ownership of these Deep Yellow shares as she is not in default under her facility (the key terms of the margin lending facility with Lift Capital as understood by Ms Swaby was that of a standard margin loan facility). Ms Swaby had arranged for settlement of this loan account prior to Lift Capital's appointment of a voluntary administrator and has informed the Company that she remains ready willing and able to pay the full amount outstanding under her facility. Ms Swaby has commenced legal proceedings to protect her interest in these shares.
The Company will closely monitor the actions of Merrill Lynch in order to protect the interests of all shareholders and will provide further updates as information becomes available. - Web Site

Response to Media Reports
In response to press reports circulating at present, Kagara wishes to advise shareholders that the Lounge Lizard nickel sulphide deposit at Forrestania is not for sale and no statement to that effect has been made either privately or publicly by myself. What the Company has said however is that nickel is not a core commodity and that one option for funding a future development of the large Admiral Bay zinc-lead-silver-barite deposit in the Canning Basin of Western Australia would be to sell Lounge Lizard at a point when its value has been fully evaluated by an ongoing diamond drilling program. This drilling program, which will be fast tracked with the arrival of a second rig in July, will also test other nickel targets within the highly prospective package of tenements within the Forrestania area.
Other options for funding Admiral Bay would be conventional debt or introducing a joint venture partner. With respect to joint venturing, we are not holding talks, but have been approached by several international mining companies with a view to joint venturing into the project. It is our plan to advance the project further to a JORC compliant resource and reserve status with additional infill diamond drilling by wedging from parent holes drilled in 2007, before settling on a path forward. In the meantime, metallurgical testwork and engineering scoping studies are being advanced and the results will be released as they soon as come to hand..... - Web Site

Samson Identifies Additional Possible Oil Pay in State GC#2
The State GC #2 well has been cased to total depth of 11,590 feet and the drilling rig is being demobilized.
A log analysis of the penetrated section has been completed and confirmed the previously advised pay counts for the primary target in Lower Leonard.
Whilst drilling the overlying Bone Spring Formation oil was recorded on the mud pits however no mud log data was recorded because mud logging was only undertaken in the primary objective. However because of this oil show, logs were undertaken over the entire open hole section to evaluate any further oil productive zones.
The log analysis indicates numerous individual possible pay zones which total 190 feet, and should add to the productive capacity of this well.....- Web Site
