Stocks tumbled Friday on escalating worries about the financial and automotive sectors and rebounding oil prices. The major indexes fell by more than 1.5 percent, and the Dow Jones industrial average gave up more than 200 points to end at its lowest levels in three months.
Among financials, Merrill Lynch -- which slashed earnings estimates for regional banks Friday -- was the target of market rumors that it may issue its own profit warning.
Since the start of the year, analysts have slashed their earnings estimates on Standard & Poor's 500 financial companies by a respective 41 percent, 28 percent and 25 percent for the second, third and fourth quarters, according to Lab Thomson, a Thomson Reuters research publication.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a heavy 2.04 billion shares compared with 1.29 billion shares traded Thursday. Volume was heavy in part because of "quadruple witching" -- the simultaneous expiration of four types of options contracts.
Oil futures rebounded Friday on unease over Middle East stability and a growing doubt that China's government will be able to curb the country's appetite for fuel by pushing prices higher.
Copper rose to a one-month high, heading for the biggest weekly gain since March, as a weakening US dollar boosted demand for the metal as an alternative investment.
Gold futures closed with a modest loss Friday but remained above the $900-an-ounce level to finish the week with a gain of almost 4% as rising oil prices and weakness in the US dollar fueled investment demand for the precious metal.

Felix Announces Profit Upgrade
Felix Resources advises that the profit before tax for the current year is expected to be between $220 million and $240 million depending on vessels loading in the last week of June at Gladstone and Newcastle. This includes approximately $120 million from the sale of two tranches of 10% equity in the Moolarben Project, the sale of which has previously been advised to the market. Prices for thermal coal and PCI coal for the next financial year are now in place and commenced in May and June while semi-soft coking coal prices are still under negotiation.
The Board has also approved the construction of a coal preparation plant at the Yarrabee Mine, which will enable this mine to convert from PCI and thermal coal to primarily all PCI coal. Construction will commence once the necessary Government approvals have been received and is expected to be completed by mid 2009. Completion of the wash plant will enable Felix to increase production of PCI coal and approval will be sought to take this from 1.7 mtpa to 2.8 mtpa.- Web Site

TAMPAKAN - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
In its Bidder's Statement issued on 13 June 2008, Xstrata (the manager and 62.5% owner of the Tampakan copper-gold project in the southern Philippines) has provided an update on first-production timelines, stating that Xstrata ". . . considers it unlikely that the project will be in production prior to 2014 . . ."
The new schedule of 2014 is not a date that has been signed off or approved at any meeting of Sagittarius Mines Inc., the joint venture operating arm for the Tampakan project. Previous advice from Xstrata was targeted at first-production in late 2012.
In the 15 months that Xstrata has been managing the project, it has continued to build its level of knowledge in the project and has publicly championed it as the largest in Xstrata's copper growth pipeline. Indophil has a 32.5% interest in Tampakan with arrangements in place to lift that stake to 37.5%.
Tampakan remains a world-class, low-cost and long-life copper-gold project of global significance.
Indophil will provide its formal response to Xstrata's Bidder's Statement in its Target's Statement, due for release in July. - Web Site

NCC recommendations could cost Australia A$30 billion and undermine iron ore export competitiveness
Rio Tinto Iron Ore is opposed to the National Competition Council's call for its Pilbara rail infrastructure to be thrown open to third parties, a move it believes would put at risk billions of dollars in future investment and rapidly erode national wealth.
Imposing such a system would quickly see the infrastructure chaos and inefficiencies that have plagued the east coast coal ports duplicated in the Pilbara, where the single user integrated system is underpinning Australia's economic growth.
Rio Tinto iron ore chief executive Sam Walsh said, "The NCC appears to be lining Australia up for a massive exercise in value destruction. A report by Access Economics estimated that a multi-user system could cost up to A$30 billion over 20 years. Its effect on future investment decisions would be equally wealth-destructive. ....... - Web Site

Kihabe Project/Telfer Project
KIHABE ZINC/LEAD PROJECT, BOTSWANA
The Company has completed three diamond drill holes in Namibia. A diamond drilling rig is currently mobilising to Kihabe site in Botswana. Resource drilling will commence 7kms east of Kihabe, at the Nxuu prospect, a large, shallow, flat lying mineralised (zinc, lead and silver) quartz wacke, that sits within a dolomite basin and covers an area 800m x 270m. Any resource generated within this prospect will be shallow, amenable to an open cut operation and would likely have a very low waste to ore ratio.
TELFER PROJECT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Potential Large Tonnage, Low Grade Copper/Tungsten Porphyry Deposit
The Company has a large exploration licence application at its Telfer project, part of which covers the 17 Mile Hill deposit at Camp Dome, 15kms north of Newcrest's Telfer mining operations.
Previous exploration at Camp Dome, conducted mainly in the search for gold, did produce positive results with the discovery of copper and tungsten, which are currently trading at around US$8,200/t and US$25,000/t respectively. The previous exploration included a variety of sampling, aeromagnetic and induced polarisation (IP) surveying, RAB drilling, RC drilling and Diamond Core drilling....... - Web Site

TUI RESERVES INCREASED AGAIN
The initial proved and probable (2P) reserves for the Tui Area Oil Fields have been further increased from 47 million to 50.1 million barrels, following a detailed field reassessment by the Operator.
New Zealand Oil & Gas Ltd's share of the additional reserves is almost 400,000 barrels. Using current oil prices and exchange rates, this has a gross value to NZOG of around NZ$70 million.
This latest increase is consistent with the strong field performance since commencement of production on 30 July 2007. Total field production from that date until end of the financial year on 30 June is now forecast to be 14.2 million barrels.
Tui continues to perform above expectations with production so far this month averaging 42,500 barrels per day. Production for the 2008/9 financial year is now forecast to be 9 million barrels. NZOG's share of production in 2008/09 is now forecast to be 1.13 million barrels, an increase of 370,000 barrels.
Today's announcement follows last month's reserves upgrade from 41.7 to 47 million barrels, which resulted from an extension of the lease for the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, "Umuroa"..... - Web Site

Petsec Energy Ltd today announced it has deepened the CL&F#30-1 well to a measured depth of 4,145 metres (13,680 feet), and tested the target objective. Electric logs were run and evaluated which indicated a thin laminated sand which is not commercial to develop. The well will be plugged and abandoned and the rig released.
Petsec estimates it will expense approximately $1.7 million in its half year results to June 30, 2008, being its share of the cost to drill and plug and abandon the well. - Web Site

On 9 January 2008 the Company announced that it would apply to the High Court of Australia, to seek Special Leave to appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland, which had on 21 December 2007, rejected Aquila's "Change in Control" case against AMCI.
The High Court today refused to grant Aquila Special Leave to Appeal the earlier Queensland Court of Appeal decision.
Aquila is disappointed with the High Court's decision, but accepts that all remedies in respect of Aquila's "Change in Control" dispute with AMCI, have now been exhausted.

Update on Landowners Position
ELO AND OTHER PROSPECT LANDOWNERS REITERATE "YES TO EXPLORATION, POSSIBLE MINING AND THE EL RENEWAL AND NO TO A WORLD HERITAGE AREA"
Frontier Resources is pleased to announce that Chairman of the West Koiari Development Foundation Mr Kenny Abau noted to the Company in a letter dated 19/6/2008
...we will pressure for the Exploration License to be renewed for Frontier Resources to go ahead to operate the mine and explore our area.
I note that the Elo Landowners were never consulted by Mining Minister /Deputy Prime Minster Dr Puka Temu, about agreeing to his plan to put Landowner interests behind those of Australia and PNG. We reject this disgraceful idea totally.
We tried unsuccessfully to meet with Dr Temu to talk about this. Leaders from many of the western Koiari Clans within the EL are now meeting and are in consultation with the Kodu Deposit Landowners to work out how we can positively affect the renewal of the EL.
As you know, the Elo Deposit is about 13km from the Kokoda Track. My people now get no benefits from it and I am sure in future will get no benefits from tourism. We think the Australian Development Funding of AUS $14.9 million will not benefit most of the West Koiari villages with anything........... - Web Site

Market Update
Minara Resources Ltd has today released the following market update:
The gas supply situation on Varanus Island has had a well documented impact across Western Australia. Minara moved rapidly to minimise the impact of this gas disruption on its WA operation. We have been able to secure temporary gas supplies which enabled us to resume operations only days following the Varanus outage, albeit at reduced rates. The plant is operating to maximise production with the reduced gas availability. We are currently operating the plant at approximately ⅔ of our normal production rates. From 1 July we have a new long term gas supply contract which sources some of our gas requirements from alternative locations. Because of this we are confident that we can maintain production at the current rate. We are also attempting to secure additional gas supplies to enable us to return to full production.
Based on current information, our revised market guidance on production of 31,000 - 35,000 tonnes, remains unchanged. We have incorporated in these production guidance figures the expected impact of the current and forecast reduced rates. Following market advice from Apache, partial production from Varanus Island may be available from August. This should enable us to return to full production...... - Web Site

DRILLING REPORT - 19 June 2008
WELL NAME: Cobra 1A, PNG
Oil Search reports that at 0600 on 19 June, the Cobra 1A well was at a depth of 2,458 metres and conducting a wiper trip over the previously drilled section.
During the week, poor hole conditions were encountered while coming out of the hole, having drilled to 3,100 metres in the Iagifu target interval. Logging-while-drilling information indicated possible hydrocarbons in the Hedinia Sandstone, but additional wireline logging tools were not able to access the reservoir interval and so the current wiper trip was required.
During the wiper operation, the hole is simultaneously being enlarged to allow casing to be run, which will secure the long section of open hole above the Hedinia and Iagifu sandstones and allow more ready access to drill and log a short section of new hole to below the Iagifu. It is expected that casing will be set over the next week and further data be available in the week thereafter.
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. - Web Site

Stocks ended a back-and-forth session with modest advances Thursday as a sharp drop in oil prices helped counter renewed concerns about the strength of the economy.
Oil fell $4.75 per barrel after China announced plans to raise caps on gasoline and diesel fuel prices, a move that could ease global demand.
But worrisome comments from Citigroup Inc. dampened some investors' spirits. The bank warned that a "substantial" amount of write-downs on bad debt are still to come.
Advancing issues narrowly outpaced decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.44 billion shares, essentially flat with Wednesday.
Copper continued higher in London on Thursday after a miners strike in Peru reignited fears over tight global supplies.
Zinc fell in London after stockpiles of the metal jumped to a 21-month high, signaling a bigger supply surplus.
Nickel declined for a second day. Nickel oversupply grew in April to the widest in eight months as demand shrank for a third month, according to International Nickel Study Group figures.
Gold prices may rise to $5,000 an ounce as investors seek to protect themselves against accelerating inflation, said Schroder Investment Management Ltd., which oversees $277 billion of assets globally.

Chloe and Jackson - Exceeding Expectations
The thickness, continuity and shallow nature of the new intersections at Chloe and Jackson keep on surprising us. We are growing in confidence that all of the zinc-lead-silver mining in the first 5 to 7 years of the operation will be in open pits, rather than more expensive underground mines.
A new zone of mineralisation, called Stella, has been discovered midway between Chloe and Jackson. The initial intersection was 18 metres thick and looked similar to Chloe and Jackson. Assays will soon be available.
The Feasibility Study for the total Einasleigh Project is on schedule for completion in August.
Updated three-dimensional models of all five Einasleigh area deposits can be accessed through the Copper Strike website www.copperstrike.com.au . This is a very easy and effective way of understanding the deposits in 3-D and is easy to do, although software such as JAVA may have to be downloaded (available for free from the website). - Web Site

Target Energy Operations Update
VINCENT #1 (BANDITO PROSPECT)
Report Date: 4:00 am 12/06/08 (Western Aust Standard Time) / 3:00 pm 11/06/08 (USA Central Daylight Time)
Current Depth: 826.0 metres RT.
Progress: Spud well. Complete repairs. Drill ahead to 658.4m in 445mm (17.5 in) hole. Change out mud pump. Drill ahead to 826.0m.
Hydrocarbon Indications : Hydrocarbon shows will only be reported after wireline logs have been run and evaluated at the Total Depth of the well.
Primary and Secondary Targets : The Bandito prospect is targeting up to 42.4 Bcf (Billion cubic feet) of potential recoverable gas in Oligocene age "Bol mex" sands, and will be drilled to a depth of 3,932 metres (12,900 feet). Drilling is expected to take approximately five weeks.
Target Energy will earn a 15% Working Interest in the well (subject to completion of earning phase).
PINE PASTURE #2 (EAST CHALKLEY)
Report Date: 7:00 pm 11/06/08 (Western Aust Standard Time) / 6:00 am 11/06/08 (USA Central Daylight Time)
Current Depth: 0 metres RT.
Progress: Mobilise rig to site. Rig up. Prepare to commence drilling. Expect to spud within 24 hours.
Hydrocarbon Indications : Hydrocarbon shows will only be reported after wireline logs have been run and evaluated at the Total Depth of the well.
Primary and Secondary Targets : The East Chalkley oil accumulation, a previously unidentified down-dip oil leg associated with the Chalkley gas field, is already producing oil from "Alliance" W-2 sands. The Pine Pasture #2 well is to be drilled slightly updip from the existing oil producer and it is planned to complete it as a gravel-packed, high volume, hydraulic pumped well. Work to date suggests that the ‘most likely' recoverable volume of oil from the field is approximately 2.4 mmBO.
The Pine Pasture #2 well is expected to take 2.5 weeks to drill to its programmed total depth of 2,975m (9,760 ft).
COLORADO COUNTY
On 5 June 2008, a workover rig was mobilised to the Garwood #1 well. The interval 1125.6m - 1126.3m was perforated for production. The interval flowed gas and the well was left flowing dry gas to sales at a rate of 225 mcf per day.
On 6 June 2008, a workover rig was mobilised to the Thoroughbred #1 location. The interval 1288.7m - 1289.3m was perforated for production. The interval flowed a minor amount of gas before flow died - it is likely that the perforated sand was of very limited areal extent. Well was left shut-in. In the absence of any additional untested sands in the well, it is expected the well will be plugged and abandoned. - Web Site

080619 ASX Announcement - Dinnyeberki.
CONFIRMATION DRILLING AT HUNGARIAN PROJECT INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE URANIUM WITH 1.74% PEAK
WildHorse Energy Ltd (ASX: WHE) has completed its confirmatory drilling programs at two of its 100% owned Hungarian projects, Bátaszék and Dinnyeberki, in the Mecsek Mountains. Both projects are shallow uranium mineralised systems, with a history of drilling and test work completed in the 1980's. The recent drilling programs were needed to test the reliability of the previous exploration work, which the Company will use for prioritisation and planning of future work across its entire Hungarian portfolio.
Results from the Bátaszék confirmatory program were contained in the ASX announcement dated 2nd June, 2008.
HIGHLIGHTS
Drilling at the 100% owned Dinnyeberki Project in Hungary has intersected uranium mineralisation with an average grade of 0.13% U3O8 between 37.6m and 40.9m in depth, including 1.3m of un-mineralised material. The peak grade was 1.74% U3O8.
This grade confirms the results obtained during a 41 hole program in the 1980's. Uranium mineralisation at Dinnyeberki was discovered in 1982 during regional drilling campaigns completed by Mecsek Ore Mining Co. The project at that time was the site of In Situ Recovery experiments by Mecsek Ore Mining Co., who completed drill holes on a 20m by 20m pattern...... - Web Site

Wall Street fell Wednesday for the second straight day on renewed concerns about the financial sector and FedEx Corp.'s warning that weakening demand and surging fuel costs would weigh on its profits in the coming year.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by nearly 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 4.44 billion shares, up from 3.72 billion shares Tuesday.
Light, sweet crude rose $2.67 to $136.68 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after the Energy Department said the nation's crude oil stockpiles fell less than expected last week but that gasoline supplies declined. Oil prices rose sharply in late afternoon trading on reports that talks between white-collar Nigerian oil industry workers and Chevron had broken down. Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer and a major U.S. supplier.
Copper rose to the highest in almost four weeks in New York as a protest threatened production in Peru, the world's third-largest supplier of the metal.
Gold and silver rose on speculation that a slowing U.S. economy will deter the Federal Reserve from raising borrowing costs, boosting the appeal of precious metals as alternative investments to the dollar.

NO EFFECT FROM GAS DISRUPTION
Panoramic Resources wishes to advise that the recently announced disruption to both the gas supply in Western Australia (WA) and BHP Billiton's nickel smelting operations at Kalgoorlie should not result in any business interruption for either of its operations.
Lanfranchi Operation
Electricity at Lanfranchi is supplied and distributed under contract from BHP Billiton. BHP Billiton has advised the Company that the supply of electricity to the Lanfranchi Operation is unlikely to be affected as a result of the current disruption to the gas supply.
BHP Billiton announced on 12 June 2008 that as a result of a deterioration of the Kalgoorlie Nickel Smelter furnace it would be bringing forward a planned furnace rebuild. The duration of the rebuild is estimated to be around four months. During this period the Lanfranchi Operation will continue to deliver ore to BHP Billiton's Kambalda Concentrator and BHP Billiton has advised the Company that at this stage it does not foresee that ore deliveries to the Kambalda Concentrator will be affected.

Rio Tinto Alcan moves towards Australian bauxite expansion
Rio Tinto has approved a US$30 million feasibility study to develop a new bauxite operation to the south of the existing Weipa bauxite mine and port. This is the first step towards significantly expanding Rio Tinto's operations at Weipa in Cape York, Queensland, Australia.
With the approval of the new operation, Weipa's total bauxite production would increase from 18.2 million tonnes in 2007 to 35 million tonnes giving the group increased capacity to supply bauxite to customers globally and to Rio Tinto Alcan-owned refineries.
The new development would eventually replace the existing east Weipa mine and provide a platform for further expansion to take advantage of the large bauxite reserves and resources in the region south of the Weipa peninsula..... - Web Site

Orapa Project Update- Bulk Sampling Progress
Tawana Resources NL ("Tawana") has been advised by its joint venture partner, Nowak Investments Pty Ltd ("Nowak") that bulk sampling excavations on the Orapa Project BK24 kimberlite have progressed well since commencement in late April.
Nowak has also advised Tawana that the mineral chemistry of kimberlitic indicator minerals recovered from 2007 drill samples of BK24 is highly encouraging. The presence of a significant number of G10 garnets gives a strong indication that this diamondiferous kimberlite is likely to yield an encouraging grade. (see Figure 1).
Nowak is excavating three vertical shafts into BK24 to access fresh kimberlite, below the basalt breccia zone, at approximately 30m below surface.
The first shaft has reached the 30m target depth from surface and has penetrated kimberlite.
The second shaft is currently at 26.5m depth from surface and has not yet penetrated kimberlite and is being continued to the 30m target depth.
The third shaft is at 12.7m depth from surface and intersected kimberlite breccia. Excavation of this shaft had been stopped temporarily until the other two shafts have been completed.
Nowak is planning to collect 100t of kimberlite from each shaft by excavating the material from 4 five metre tunnels dug radially from the base of each shaft at the 30m level. ..... - Web Site

NAMIBIAN MARINE PHOSPHATE SAMPLING PLANS WELL ADVANCED
Bonaparte Diamond Mines NL (ASX code: BON) ("Bonaparte or the Company") is pleased to announce that it has identified its preferred contractor to undertake a systematic sampling programme over the phosphatic seabed sediments in the 1000km2 Meob Project area (EPL3323). The contract is being finalised and is expected to be signed this week for commencement of sampling operations before the end of July 2008.
A combined grab and core sampling programme has been designed to better define the phosphate grade distribution to allow resource estimation and also to provide bulk samples for metallurgical and beneficiation testing. A scoping study and initial JORC compliant mineral resource estimate are expected in Q4 2008.
The phosphate deposits off Namibia were delineated during regional studies in the 1970's but have remained undeveloped to date. The deposits occur as unconsolidated sea floor sediments which can now be efficiently mined by applying currently available dredging technology. Preliminary sampling by Bonaparte during 2007 showed phosphate grades in EPL3323 to be consistent with historic sampling and demonstrated potential for enrichment to commercial grades (up to 35% P2O5)..... - Web Site
BONAPARTE APPLIES FOR NEW MARINE PHOSPHATE AREA OFFSHORE PERU
Bonaparte Diamond Mines NL (ASX code BON, "Bonaparte" or "the Company") has submitted applications for mineral exploration licences covering an area of approximately 770km2 off the coast of Peru where scientific studies have identified the presence of phosphate enriched sediments at or near the ocean floor surface.
Managing Director Mike Woodborne said: "The available data is very encouraging and we are excited at the prospect of developing the full potential of this area of marine phosphate off Peru, to compliment our existing projects in Namibia."
The licence application area off Peru incorporates the scientific sample sites where results from seabed core samples recovered in the late 1980's showed the most significant levels of phosphate concentration. The application area is located in water depths of 100 - 300m.
The application area has been made on behalf of the Company via a trust agreement with a local Peruvian company and is subject to processing in accordance with the procedures and regulations of the Peruvian mineral legislation. While issue of the licence cannot be presumed at this stage, the Company anticipates a successful outcome. Further announcements will be made on completion of this process and will include more specific details..... - Web Site

Stocks tumbled Tuesday as a troubling reading on wholesale inflation underscored the drag of high energy prices on the economy. Investors, also growing anxious again about banks' credit woes, sent the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 100 points.
Tuesday's economic data illustrated how the steep run-up in energy costs this year is affecting businesses. The Labor Department said its index of producer prices jumped 1.4 percent in May -- the largest increase since November.
Housing starts and industrial production in the U.S., consumer of almost 25 percent of the world's oil, dropped last month, government reports showed today.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 3.72 billion shares, after 3.62 billion shares on Monday.
Crude oil eased for a third day on signs that slower economic growth will curb fuel consumption, production at an offshore Norwegian field may resume after a fire and Kuwait said prices are too high.
Metal inventories are set to remain well below historical averages this year following relatively healthy demand and insufficient supply additions, which should support prices, according to Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

Conrad Silver Project - Drilling Results - Assay Results for Six More Drill Holes Reported
Latest Results - The latest results are mostly for intersections in the Conrad Lode, with one in the King Conrad Lode. These results are set out in the Appendix, where Table 1 shows collar details and objectives of the new holes and Table 2 lists the assay results for significant intersections in those holes. Figure 2 is a longitudinal section along the Conrad/King Conrad Lodes, with the new holes identified by number.
Results from existing drilling at Conrad (and evidence from historical mining) make it very clear that the best intersections are concentrated into discrete ore shoots, as is normal for lode deposits like this. Most of the new holes were drilled at wide spacing near the southeastern end of the Conrad Mine workings, with a view to detecting new ore shoots for more detailed follow up drilling. That approach appears to have been only partly successful, with most of this batch yielding lower than the average assays for the Conrad Lode overall. Nevertheless, some encouraging results are reported and evidence is emerging of a new silver-copper-tin ore shoot in the vicinity of holes 68 and 69 (CMRD69 has been reported previously), located on the southeastern-most drilled section (Figure 2).
Resource Upgrade - Malachite's mineral resource consultants are currently working on an interim upgrade to the previously published mineral resource for the project, which was based on last year's drilling. That upgrade will be available by early August and will incorporate drill holes completed by late June (allowing that 4 to 6 weeks after drilling is required for receipt of assays from the laboratory). Drilling will continue until about the end of August and a final resource figure for 2008 will be released some weeks after that.
The existing resource defined at Conrad in 2007 contains 2.6 million ounces of silver, or about 10 million ounces of silver equivalent when the value of the associated base metals is added. The August resource statement will upgrade that figure substantially, with further enhancement a couple of months later. Malachite's economic modelling of the deposit indicates that a resource containing approximately 8-10 million ounces of silver (or 25-30 million ounces of silver equivalent) will be sufficient to support reopening of the mine. The Company believes there is a very good chance of achieving that resource goal this year. Location Plan .... - Web Site

Trial Processing Commences
Bendigo Mining Limited (ASX: BDG) is pleased to announce that trial processing has commenced at its Kangaroo Flat plant in Bendigo, Victoria.
The Kangaroo Flat plant previously operated for eight months before being placed on care and maintenance in June 2007 due to limited reserves. During the past year, the Company has conducted underground exploration from the Kangaroo Flat Mine targeting the more productive parts of the goldfield, particularly the Garden Gully line, as well as introducing a visual grade range estimation method. This work has resulted in the discovery of several new reefs, the most promising being the Gill reef.
The plant is currently treating low-grade ore which was stockpiled during mining operations in 2006/07. The first ore parcel from Gill reef is planned to be processed in late June, with trial gold production ramping up during the September quarter (July to Sept 2008). ..... - Web Site

Wall Street started the week with a mixed finish on Monday as investors weighed volatility in oil prices and new hope for the financial sector after Lehman Brothers posted results (posted a second-quarter loss of $2.87 billion). Shares of Lehman Brothers, which last week plunged by 30 percent before rebounding on Friday, rose $1.39, or 5.4 percent.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a light 3.62 billion shares compared to 4.59 billion on Friday.
Light, sweet crude for July delivery fell 25 cents to settle at $134.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after earlier soaring to a trading record of $139.89. Earlier, they dropped as low as $132.84.
With little in the way of news to explain oil's turnabout, analysts pointed to Saudi Arabia's weekend decision to boost production and to Tuesday's expiration of crude options - trading is often volatile in the days immediately preceding options expiration.
U.S. copper futures settled at their highest level in nearly three weeks on Monday, swept up in a broad-based commodity rally tied to a weaker US dollar, analysts said.
Gold rebounded and silver jumped the most in three weeks as the euro climbed against the dollar, boosting the appeal of the precious metals as alternative investments.

ROC to Acquire AEL
ROC Announces Off-Market Takeover Offer for Anzon
The Proposal
Roc Oil Company Limited ("ROC") (ASX/AIM: ROC) today announced an off-market takeover offer (the "Anzon Takeover Offer") to acquire all of the ordinary shares in Anzon Australia Limited ("Anzon") (ASX: AZA).
The offer price under the Anzon Takeover Offer will comprise 0.792 ROC shares plus A$0.05 cash per Anzon share.
Based on the closing price of ROC shares on 13 June 2008, this equates to A$1.65 per Anzon share, which is a 34% premium to the 1 month volume weighted average price of Anzon shares of A$1.23.
As jointly announced earlier today, ROC and Anzon Energy Limited ("AEL"), a company listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") and incorporated in Australia, concurrently intend to merge by way of a Scheme of Arrangement ("AEL Scheme"), which has been unanimously approved by the boards of both companies. The AEL Scheme is not dependent on the outcome of the Anzon Takeover Offer.
A copy of the AEL Scheme announcement is attached to this announcement as Annexure B.
AEL is the major shareholder in Anzon, owning 52% of its fully-diluted issued capital. If the AEL Scheme is completed and the Anzon Takeover Offer is not completed, ROC will replace AEL as the majority shareholder in Anzon.
In the event that ROC acquires 100% of both Anzon and AEL, ROC and Anzon/AEL shareholders will own the enlarged ROC group in approximately equal shares..... - Web Site

Phosphate Potential Confirmed on Image's North Perth Basin Project
A study of open file information has indicated that the favourable stratigraphy hosting the Dandaragan Trough phosphate sands are likely to extend for a strike length of more than 50km within Image's exploration tenements.
As noted in a previous ASX release (18 March 2008) three of nine recorded outcropping phosphate occurrences in the Dandaragan area occur on Image's tenements. Previous work by the Geological Survey of WA in the 1940's, BHP in the 1970's and Wesfarmers/Australian Fertilisers in the 1980's has demonstrated that phosphate sands are widespread within Upper Cretaceous sediments of the Dandaragan Trough which forms part of the North Perth Basin. The projected extent of the favourable stratigraphy on the Image tenements is shown on the attached map..... - Web Site

FUNDING UPDATE & APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
On 12 June 2008, trading in the Company's ordinary shares was halted on the ASX (and suspended on AIM) at the request of the Company pending the outcome of discussions regarding the Company's working capital requirements.
The Company today announces that it has been successful in obtaining commitments to raise approximately A$5 million (the ‘Placing') via the issue of 48,075,000 new ordinary shares (‘Shares') to existing major institutional investors (‘Placees') at a price of 10.35 cents for Australian institutions and 5 pence per Share for UK institutions (the ‘Placing Price'). An Appendix 3B is attached.
The Directors consider that the Placing proceeds are sufficient to enable the Company to continue to operate the Goondicum Industrial Minerals Project (the ‘Project') at current production levels for a period of not less than three months. During this time the Company believes it will be in a position to better understand the issues which have caused the slower than expected ramp up in production at the project and the viability of the Company's longer term expansion plans. If an expansion of the Project is deemed viable, the Company will require further funding to pursue the expansion.
The Board announces that Mr Mike Christie has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective from today's date, for an initial period of three months. Mr Christie is a mining industry professional with over thirty years experience both in Australia and overseas. His corporate experience includes senior management roles in a number of mining companies including Mt Lyell, Renison Ltd, RGC, Kidston, Elders Resources, Red Dome Gold Mine and Niugini Mining. For the past ten years, Mr Christie has provided consulting services within the mining industry, specializing in organisation optimization.... - Web Site
