Wall Street's angst over the ongoing fallout from the credit crisis made for a turbulent end to a volatile week Friday -- stocks tumbled, soared and then turned south again as investors tried to assess the dangers faced by the country's biggest mortgage financiers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers in Friday's session by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a heavy 6.57 billion shares compared with 5.71 billion shares traded Thursday.
Bond prices fell sharply as investors worried a bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could dent the government's credit rating.
For the week, the Dow fell 1.67 percent, the S&P 500 lost 1.85 percnet and the Nasdaq declined 0.28 percent. It was the fourth straight weekly decline for the Dow and the sixth consecutive weekly decline for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.
The price of crude oil continued to rise - not only as the United States and Israel view Iran as a growing threat, but also as the U.S. dollar fell and worries erupted over possible supply disruptions in two other major oil-producing nations: Nigeria and Brazil.
Copper rose as falling inventories and labor unrest in Peru increased concern that supplies may trail demand later this year.
Gold rose to the highest since March as record energy costs and slumping equities spurred demand for the metal as a haven. Silver also gained.

KIHABE ZINC/LEAD PROJECT, BOTSWANA - UPDATE THE NXUU DEPOSIT
The Company is currently diamond core drilling at the Nxuu deposit for the purpose of delineating further resources, seven kilometers east of its Kihabe resource, in north western Botswana.
Zinc/lead mineralisation at the Nxuu deposit occurs in a shallow flat lying quartz wacke which lies in a dolomite basin and is covered by 5 to 15m of Kalahari sands. The quartz wacke has an average width of around 30m.
To date seven diamond drill holes in this current drilling programme have intersected this quartz wacke, which together with eight RC holes previously drilled by Billiton, confirm that this quartz wacke extends over an area of some 260,000 square metres.
Drill core is currently being cut and will shortly be submitted for assaying.
Any resource developed at the Nxuu deposit will be shallow and will likely have a very low waste to ore ratio.
THE KIHABE ZINC, LEAD AND SILVER RESOURCE
Results from 41 diamond core drill holes amounting to 5,380 metres are currently being incorporated into the Kihabe resource model for the purpose of upgrading the resource estimate.
It is anticipated that the diamond core results will increase both the grade and tonnes of the Kihabe resource. An initial resource, was estimated at 11 million tonnes at 2.55% zinc equivalent. In excess of 95% of this resource fell within the indicated category. This initial resource was estimated from RC drill results only, which the Company believes under reported the grade. A revised resource estimate will be released to the market once complete. - Web Site

DRILLING REPORT - 10 July 2008
WELL NAME: Cobra 1A, PNG
Oil Search reports that at 0600 on 10 July, the Cobra 1A well was at its total depth of 3,202 metres and running in hole with a fishing assembly to recover a wireline logging tool. Final logging operations are underway and should be complete in the next few days at which point a decision will be made on the forward program.
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

NOLANS PROJECT RARE EARTHS MARKET UPDATE
CHINESE RARE EARTH EXPORTS CUT BY FURTHER 22%
Metal Pages© has reported on the latest Chinese Ministry of Commerce decision to place further limits on rare earth exports.
The effect of the quota reductions on the rare earths market is significant and highlights the need for new rare earths production to come on stream.
Chinese export quotas for the next 6 months will be 11,376 tonnes through 25 companies bringing the total for 2008 to 34,176 tonnes. By comparison, it is expected that total non-Chinese demand for 2008 will be in the order of 60,000 tonnes.
This is a reduction of 22% compared to 2007 figures and is the most significant reduction since the quota system has been introduced:
2004: 48,500t REO
2005: 48,300t REO a 0.5% reduction from 2004
2006: 45,000t REO a 7% reduction from 2005
2007: 43,574t REO a 4% reduction from 2006
2008: 34,156t REO a 22% reduction from 2007
Arafura Resources Limited, through the company's Nolans rare earths project in the Northern Territory, is well placed, as an emerging rare earths mining and processing company to capitalise on the shortfall of demand which will arise from the restrictions in Chinese export quotas.
Arafura is nearing completion of demonstration plant trials at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) to finalise the processing route for the Nolans mineralisation. The work program is expected to be completed this year and a full definitive feasibility study (DFS) has commenced. The company's current plans are to commence production at Nolans by 2011 and be capable of supplying at least 10% of world demand for rare earths with a mine life of at least 20 years..... - Web Site

The Directors of Minotaur Exploration Limited (ASX code: MEP) are pleased to provide an update of progress concerning a Sale and Purchase Agreement with U Energy Pty Ltd ("UEP") for Minotaur’s interests in two tenements near Port Augusta in central South Australia (Figure 1). Details of the Agreement were outlined in an announcement to the Australian Stock Exchange on 26th February 2008.

New Minotaur - JOGMEC Joint Venture at Mabel Creek
The Directors of Minotaur Exploration Limited (ASX code: MEP) are pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Minotaur Operations Pty Ltd has entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) to explore for base and precious metals on the Mabel Creek project near Coober Pedy, bringing to three the number of joint ventures with JOGMEC since 2005.
The Mabel Creek Joint Venture covers 1050 km2 on tenements EL 3324 (Mabel Creek) and EL 3455 (Woorong Creek) situated approximately 60 km west of Coober Pedy on the northern portion of the Gawler Craton, South Australia. The region is prospective for copper and gold mineralisation within rocks rich in iron oxides (IOCG-style mineralisation) similar in character to that occurring at Prominent Hill approximately 170 km to the southeast. Initial exploration, focusing on a ~7 milligal gravity anomaly in an area of shallow cover (to 200 m), will involve additional geophysical surveys and the anticipated drilling of three diamond holes. - Web Site

Wall Street stumbled through another volatile session but ended with a respectable gain Thursday after a multibillion dollar deal between Dow Chemical Co. and rival Rohm and Haas Co. helped offset concerns about the financial sector and higher energy costs.
Shares of mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continued to fall on worries they will be forced to sell more new shares than anticipated to compensate for losses from the housing slump.
Advancing issues narrowly outnumbered decliners on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 5.71 billion shares, up from 5.06 billion shares on Wednesday.
Light, sweet crude for August delivery rose $5.60 to $141.65 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on another missile test by Iran and worries about more supply disruptions in Nigeria.
Aluminum reached an all-time high in London after the biggest smelters in China, the world's largest producer, agreed to cut output by as much as 10 percent, increasing expectations that a supply glut will ease. Lead posted a record gain.
Gold rose the most in a week as mounting tensions over Iran's nuclear program and slumping global equities sparked demand for the metal as a haven. Silver also gained.

RETENTION LEASE OFFER AT OBAN
Curnamona Energy Limited (Curnamona Energy - ASX : CUY, 45.4% owned by Havilah Resources NL -ASX: HAV) is pleased to advise that the Department of Primary Industries South Australia (PIRSA), has written to its wholly owned subsidiary, Oban Energy Pty Limited (Oban Energy), approving a proposal to grant a Retention Lease (248.1 hectares) over its 100% owned Oban prospect, located 60 kilometres north of the Honeymoon uranium deposit. This follows a period of fifteen months during which Curnamona Energy has been working to satisfy PIRSA's stringent documentary requirements and public consultation procedures necessary for grant of the Retention Lease.
This clears the path for Oban Energy to lodge a mining and rehabilitation program (MARP) with PIRSA for conducting the proposed field leach trial, many aspects of which have already been covered in the application for the Retention Lease.
Curnamona Energy will move as quickly as possible to establish the field leach trial following approval of the MARP. Subject to a successful outcome of the field leach trial, Curnamona Energy will then apply for a Mining Lease and proceed to obtain an Export Licence and other approvals required for commercial uranium mining. - Web Site

Independent Evaluation Santa Rosa Permit Argentina
Otto Energy (ASX: OEL) advises that an "Evaluation of Prospective Resources" report on the Santa Rosa Exploration Permit located in the Cuyana Basin in the Province of Mendoza, Argentina, has been released by Oromin Explorations Ltd (Oromin).
Oromin commissioned the evaluation report which was conducted by Aeon Exploration Inc. of Canada, an independent petroleum valuation consultant. The independent report concluded that:
In November 2005, Otto and Oromin (Operator) agreed to a farm-in arrangement, whereby Otto will initially earn a 32.48% working interest in the Santa Rosa Exploration Permit through funding the first US$1.4 million of a 2-well drilling program.
Otto is also entitled to acquire an additional interest of 8.76% in the Permit from Oromin, to increase its interest to 41.24% by incurring further expenditure of US$897,381. Otto's participation is subject to the completion of due diligence to Otto's satisfaction and the finalisation of a joint venture agreement, which is close to completion. The Operator expects drilling to commence in Q1, 2009. - Web Site

Dual Track Strategy for Imwauna Project Papua New Guinea
New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG), on 13th June 2008 released an Inferred Resource for its 100% owned Imwauna Project of 1,800,000 tonnes at 12.2g/t gold and 20g/t silver for contained metal of 706,000 ozs gold and 1,160,000 ozs silver.
The resource commences at ground surface and has been defined to varying depths from between 50 and 150 metres below ground surface. It is open in most directions and in addition, in the event that further studies show the resource can be developed, a large part would be "open pittable". Preliminary metallurgical and mineralogical studies suggest that the gold can be extracted by conventional cyanide leach and/or inpart by gravity. Exploration results from elsewhere in the Normanby Property, but excluding the Imwauna Project, indicate several additional prospects that individually have potential for moderate sized gold deposits and require further exploration.
NGG has developed a dual track strategy for the Imwauna Project as follows:

Operations Update Thailand
L33-3 Exploration Well (40% WI)
The L33-3 exploration well is located in the northern L33/43 exploration permit. This well was drilled to a total depth of 1,084 metres. As previously reported, potential volcanic reservoir was intersected over a number of intervals throughout the well.
The well is located within the previously untested Khon Khwang graben. Extensive testing is ongoing in this newfield wildcat well to fully evaluate the potential of the area. An update will be provided once operations have been completed.
NS9-H1 Horizontal Appraisal Well (40% WI)
The NS9-H1 horizontal appraisal/development well is located within the Na Sanun oil field located on the downthrown western side of the Na Sanun bounding fault and separate from the adjacent Na Sanun East oilfield on the upthrown eastern side of the bounding fault. Drilling has been completed to a depth of 1,246 metres MD (961 metres TVD) and testing has commenced on this well.
NSE-A1 Appraisal Well (40% WI)
The NSE-A1 appraisal well is located within the Na Sanun East oil field targeting the main producing reservoir. Drilling had been completed however some minor bore hole stability issues has required the well to be re-entered to set a liner.
NSE-A3 Development Well (40% WI)
The NSE-A3 horizontal development well is located within the Na Sanun East oil field. Drilling has commenced, targeting the main producing formation of the Na Sanun East oil field and current operations are setting the casing just above the target zone.
L44-C Appraisal Well (40% WI)
The L44-C well is located in the SW-1A licence within the Wichian Buri oil field. The well is designed to appraise the POE-6 fault block extension to the field, discovered in the 2006 drilling programme. Although drilling had commenced, operations have been temporarily suspended at a depth of around 200 m MD due to other operational requirements for the drilling rig. Drilling will resume upon completion of the workover of NSE-A1.
Comment from the CEO
Carnarvon CEO "Ted Jacobson" commented
"Progress has been slower than anticipated in the last few weeks due to some minor operational issues. However, operations are proceeding as planned with the development of the Na Sanun East oil field, including the preparation of a number of drilling locations to enable the Joint Venture to realise its aim of 15,000 bopd (gross) by 2008 year end."- Web Site

Update - Main Pit Extensional Drill Program
On 27 June 2008 Mount Gibson Iron Limited ("MGI") announced initial results from a drill program testing down-dip extent of the Main Pit and Acacia hematitic surface.
MGI completed two drill holes into the target area. The first hole was targeted to the east of the ultimate Main Pit limit to test possible eastward extensions of the Main Pit hematitic surface at depth, whilst the second hole was collared 600m further west, near the centre of the Main deposit, targeted well below the ultimate Main Pit design depth.
MGI previously announced that both holes intersected the Main and Acacia surfaces at depth, with all intersections displaying typical Main and Acacia mineralisation. Figures 1 & 2 below are sections on 2800E and 2200E, which approximate the respective easting collar positions of KIDD001 and KIDD003.
This drilling confirmed that the Main Pit mineralisation extends at least 300m below the ultimate designed pit depth of Main Pit, and that the Acacia mineralised surface appears to extend approximately 1.4km down dip to form a continuous surface with the Main Pit mineralised surface.
MGI has received assays for all interpreted intersections of the Main and Acacia hematitic surfaces which have confirmed the continuation of high grade and high quality mineralisation at depth. The width, physical characteristics, deposition and structural consistency of intersections is typical of Koolan Island hematite mineralisation. Table 1 below contains the results of the initial two drill holes. ....
The grade and quality of the initial drilling into the extensions of the Main and Acacia mineralised hematitic surface is highly encouraging. The down-dip extent of Main, Acacia, Barramundi and Mullet surfaces have not been previously tested by drilling which presents outstanding exploration targets and resource upside at Koolan Island.
As a result, a further 10,000 metre, $4 million drill program is planned which will target 100 million tonnes of additional high quality resources at Koolan Island over the next 18 months. Drilling will commence as soon as practicably possible pending board approval and suitable drill rig availability. - Web Site

Stokes Bay Summary
STOKES BAY 1 WELL INSPECTION AND PRESSURE TESTING
The Company has been advised by the Operator, Arc Energy Limited, that the EP104/R1 Joint Venture has undertaken well inspection operations at the Stokes Bay 1 well to assist in the design of the definitive testing program.
On inspecting the location it was noted that there is minor flood damage to the roadway and pad with access currently possible for light vehicles and relatively minor repairs required for heavy vehicle access.
Operations at the well included removal of the back pressure valve on the well and installation of the well head and pressure gauges. The well head pressure was noted to be 1200psi. On opening the well to the test pit, it flowed gas for approximately six minutes before slugging mud and gas with flow ceasing after some 30 minutes.
After an overnight shut-in the well head pressure was noted as 250 psi but there was no significant flow. The well has now been shut-in and the crew has demobilised.
These results are interpreted to be very encouraging with the gas flowing either from the Laurel gas sands below the 7 inch casing shoe or from the Nullara reef section. The noted presence of gas and well-head pressure will assist in the evaluation of the best method to undertake a definitive test of the reservoir. ARC will now undertake this evaluation for review by the joint venture. - Web Site
SECONDARY IRON ENRICHMENT AT MT OSCAR
Fox Resources Limited (ASX: FXR) today announced that the second diamond drill hole ORDD002 at the Company's Mt Oscar Iron Ore Project (Mt Oscar) intersected 49.9m of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) from surface (Figure 1) that contains strong iron mineralisation (magnetite). Initial inspection of the drill core indicates more magnetite than encountered in the first hole (ORDD001 as announced on 27 June 2008), with bands of magnetite several centimetres thick interspersed in less magnetic jaspilite. The hole finished in a dolerite dyke which is believed to have contributed to iron-enrichment of the BIF. Significantly, haematite and goethite has developed near the dyke, indicating significant potential for a volume of direct-shipping material.
Overall, the visually identifiable proportion of "black beds" (iron mineralised) to "red beds" (jaspilite) has improved on hole ORDD001. NITON XRF (see disclaimer) analysis of points within these bands returned a raw iron content in excess of 55% Fe, with bands up to 0.3m thick constituting 60% of the core. The highest point grade returned by the NITON analysis has been 66.2% Fe, in a magnetite/haematite band 10.6m downhole in ORDD002. .....- Web Site

Marley-2 Exploration Well Update
Location
The Marley-2 exploration well is located in permit TL/5, part of the Harriet Joint Venture, at a surface location of latitude 20°25'24.00"S and longitude 115°41'25.01"E within the Barrow sub-basin. It is approximately 3.5 kilometres west-southwest of the existing Campbell Platform and 143 metres north of Marley-1. Water depth is 43 metres.
Progress
Marley-2 was spudded at 06.30hrs on Tuesday 22nd April. Drilling has progressed to a depth of 4,071 mMD and additional logging runs have been conducted at this depth. Preliminary interpretation of this new data suggests the main objective penetrated by the well consists of a thick, water-wet sand package with low saturation gas throughout. The extensive gas shows noted during drilling are interpreted as residual and there do not appear to be any potentially gas-productive reservoir intervals.
It is anticipated that drilling will terminate at this depth and the well will be plugged and abandoned following completion of the wireline logging program. We expect the rig to be off-location by early next week.
Tap Comment
Marley-2 has drilled the objective, but not resulted in a gas discovery. While reservoir quality was generally poor to moderate and gas saturations were low, the overall gross 300 metre thick reservoir section was above expectations for this stratigraphic interval in this region. As the post well analysis is conducted over the coming months this may enhance prospectivity elsewhere in the Harriet Joint Venture. - Web Site

First Drill Hole at Costean Seven
The first drill hole at the Costean Seven copper prospect was abandoned due to loss of water return at a depth of 311 metres. Diamond drill hole PDD308 has intersected continuous copper and silver mineralisation from 9 metres to 285 metres, the interval from 0.6-9 metres is mineralised in copper, zinc and silver and the interval from 285 metres to 311 metres is mineralised in silver.
A Niton XL3T handheld XRF machine has been used to give an indication of grade ranges for each metal. However, it must be stressed that these values are indicative only and may vary significantly from the final laboratory assays, which are not expected for 6 to 8 weeks.
The copper grade is variable; it is often in the 0.2% to 1.0% range with regular zones that grade in the 2.0% to 6.0% range. It appears to occur as chalcocite, bornite and chalcopyrite.
Silver is consistent down the hole, typically grading 15g/t to 40g/t with regular zones exceeding 100g/t.
Empirical analysis of the XRF peaks suggests that gold is also present in the system, which is supported by laboratory assays of rock chips, as detailed in ASX release dated 22 May 2008.
The 0.6 to 9 metre interval grades 2% to 8% zinc, 0.1% to 4% copper and 10g/t to 50g/t silver. The 285 to 311 metre interval grades 15 to 25g/t silver and 0.05% copper...... - Web Site

Wall Street finished sharply higher Tuesday as oil prices dropped for the second straight day and investors were encouraged by the possibility of more help for the ailing financial system. The Dow Jones industrials gained more than 150 points, and all the major indexes were up more than 1 percent.
Speeches by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon gave the market some reassurance about the financial sector.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2 to 1 basis on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 5.92 billion shares compared with 5.21 billion shares Monday.
Oil tumbled more than $5 a barrel Tuesday in its second big drop this week; analysts attributed much of the recent sell-off to profit-taking and fears that the economic slowdown is spreading.
Gold, silver, copper, corn and most other agriculture futures sank as oil fell.

CAMBAY-19Z APPRAISAL WELL
Oilex advises that drillstem testing of the top of the basal Eocene sand secondary objective is near completion. As advised previously, the 6 metre zone perforated between 1966 metres and 1972 metres flowed light sweet crude oil with a measured API gravity of 430 with a low wax content at a rate of approximately 180 barrels per day on a 1" choke with flowing pressure of 30 psi. Preparations are under way to perforate an additional 16 metre interval within the basal sand unit which has similar log response to the initial 6 metre test interval. These operations have been delayed due to the difficulty of obtaining materials during a trucking strike in India.
Meanwhile, the well fluids have been flowed through a separator installed at the well location at various rates to determine fluid composition and flowing pressure. Initial indications are that the gas oil ratio (GOR) is 840 standard cubic feet of gas per barrel and there is no formation water associated with the produced oil.
Oilex is pleased with the results of the testing over the past week, particularly the high gravity and good GOR characteristics of the oil in the basal Eocene and the absence of any formation water. This zone will be evaluated in two more wells planned in the current 6 well appraisal program.
On completion of testing at these deeper levels, the primary objective EP III and EP IV zones will be tested. Both units had good gas shows while drilling and have been mapped as regionally extensive markers across the Western High Block. - Web Site

$84.4 million Budget approved for 2008/09 Financial Year for the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project
Carbon steel resources producer and developer, Aquila Resources Limited (ASX:AQA "Aquila" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that in conjunction with its partner in its 50% owned Australian Premium Iron Joint Venture ("API JV"), it has approved a Budget of $84.4 million for the 2008/09 Financial Year to advance the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project ("the Project").
The Budget scope envisages the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") by 30 June 2009, based on the proposed establishment of a direct ship iron project producing 30 million tonnes per annum, the upper level of production as envisaged in the Pre- Feasibility Study. This study will support financing initiatives and provide the API JV Participants with the information necessary to make their respective investment decisions.
To complete the DFS, the Budget provides for an accelerated exploration drilling program of some 55,000m over the Project's West Pilbara tenements, including drilling at the Mt Elvire Project where no drilling has been undertaken on known Channel Iron formations, as shown below.....
This exploration drilling program is expected to significantly increase the Project's resources, over and above the 493Mt announced to the ASX on 7 March 2008. In the current market for iron ore, such an increase in resource could support an increase in annual production to as much as 45 million tonnes, better utilising the infrastructure installed for the initial 30 million tonnes per annum Project..... - Web Site

First Gold Production From Trident
Avoca Resources Limited (Avoca) is very pleased to announce that it has commenced gold production at its 100% owned Higginsville Gold Project in Western Australia. The gold production, which comes less than four years after acquiring the Higginsville exploration project, marks the beginning of Avoca's cash flow and the start of a new stage in its development. Managing Director Mr Rohan Williams said today "It is a very significant day for Avoca and for Australia's gold mining industry as it heralds the first new gold operation in Western Australia since 2001." He added, "Being able to transform what was an exploration project into a 170,000 ounce per annum gold production centre in just four years is a credit to the talented and highly motivated personnel of Avoca and its contractors."
Project Update
The Higginsville treatment plant commissioning is progressing well, with the crushing circuit currently undergoing performance testwork. The wet plant and elution circuits are planned to undergo performance testwork later this week. Throughput to the mill is at 120 tonnes per hour, in line with the nameplate capacity of 1 million tonnes per annum. The first gold pour from all three electrowinning cells is scheduled for later in the week and should total approximately 1,600 ounces.
Underground mining is also progressing well, with 18 headings currently on high grade ore. Development rates have exceeded forecast with 1,116m of development in May and 1,086m again in June. Underground production for the month of June was 60,202 tonnes at an estimated grade of 3.8 g/t gold, which is in line with stoping and development expectations. Underground trucking reached a daily record in late June with 3,800 tonnes of ore trucked to the surface in a single day, well in excess of the required daily rate to deliver 1 million tonnes per annum to the plant. At the end of June, 145,306 tonnes at 4.0 g/t gold of high grade material was stockpiled on the ROM pad as previously forecast. - Web Site

INITIAL PIT DRILLING RESULTS AT CAIRN HILL
During January a total of 15 RC drill holes for 2,640m were completed in the Initial Pit area as part of the 7,686m drilled at Cairn Hill in Q1. The Initial Pit Area drilling was designed to test the western and vertical continuity of the southern pit mineralisation, as well as depth extensions and vertical continuity of the northern mineralisation below the planned pits.
IMX Resources NL (ASX:IXR) is pleased to announce that the analytical results have been received from these 15 RC drill at the Initial Pit Area of its Cairn Hill project in South Australia. The results have confirmed the continuity of mineralisation at depth with multiple intersections of high grade magnetite-copper-gold intersected below existing pit designs.
Significant copper and gold results have been received from holes testing the western extent of the southern pit mineralisation with wide zones of high grade magnetite-copper and gold mineralisation intersected 25m west of previous intersections. Best intersections include 10m @ 49.71% Fe, 1.21%Cu and 0.43ppm Au from 53m in CHRC137, and 15m @ 57.75% Fe, 0.98%Cu and 0.74ppm Au from 73m in CHRC138. The mineralisation remains open to the west beneath deepening Bulldog Shale.....
The drilling has confirmed the depth potential of the main mineralised Cairn Hill system and will continue to be investigated in the search for additional mineable resources to extend the life of the Cairn Hill operation. Downhole gyro surveys are scheduled to commence in early July. - Web Site

Update on Leonora Development Strategy
Navigator's Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the 950,000 ounce Leonora Gold Project is expected to be finalised late in the third quarter 2008. The Company's production target remains late 2009.
The Leonora project is located 30kms from the established mining town of Leonora, located 240 kms north of Kalgoorlie. Favourable infrastructure includes a network of high quality roads, an airstrip with regular services to and from Perth and ease of connection to power, including gas.
Navigator has drilled in excess of 120,000m at Leonora since the start of the year and is now awaiting final results from two assay laboratories to enable the updating of the global resource estimate required for ongoing optimisation and mining studies. Recent drilling has focused on the Cardinia area and exploration updates will be ongoing.
Baseline feasibility inputs including metallurgical, geotechnical, environmental and groundwater assessments that commenced in early 2008 are ongoing and will maximise the Company's ability to advance the project rapidly once the optimal development strategy is determined by the PFS.
Preliminary PFS studies indicate several profitable development options that have the potential to progress in tandem whilst minimising capital costs and allowing for sensible sequential development. These options aim to maximise the competitive advantage of initial soft, near-surface oxide (low strip ratio), open pit ore feed. These development options include:
(i) Standalone with CIP Treatment Facility.....
(ii) Ancillary Heap Leach Operation......
(iii) Toll Treatment...... - Web Site

Wall Street lost more ground in extremely volatile trading Monday, as investors recoiled at a cautious economic outlook from a Federal Reserve official and the possibility of more financial troubles of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Worries about the ailing financial sector deflated a stock rally early in the day that had been fueled by a $4-a-barrel pullback in oil prices.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 5.21 billion shares, up from 3.19 billion shares on Thursday.
Oil dropped for the first session in four yesterday as the euro fell to its lowest in a week before rebounding. German production, adjusted for seasonal swings, fell 2.4 percent from April, the biggest decline since February 1999, and the index of U.K. manufacturing production unexpectedly decreased to the lowest since September.
Aluminum rose to a record in London as a power shortage forced smelters in the north of China, the world's largest producer of the metal, to reduce output.
U.S. copper futures ended lower on Monday, extending a pull-back from last week's surge above $4 a lb, as profit-taking losses in the energy and precious metals sectors dragged the red metal down in their wakes, traders said.
Gold and silver futures fell after the US dollar climbed, eroding the appeal of the precious metals as alternative investments.

The Board is pleased to announce that Simon Grenfell has accepted a position on the Board as a Non Executive Director effective 6 July 2008.
Simon is Managing Director Head of Commodities - Asia for Deutsche Bank.
Prior to his role at Deutsche, Simon held various positions with Macquarie Bank, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley over 16 years.
Resignation
Renatto Barbieri has served as a Non Executive Director since June 2007.
Renatto has advised the Company that due to demands from other business interests he is unable to continue his directorship with Crescent.
The Board wishes to thank Renatto for his support over the term of his service and with regret announce that Renatto Barbieri has tendered his resignation effective 6 July 2008. - Web Site
Strategic Operational Review
The Board of Crescent Gold has resolved to take the immediate steps to temporarily suspend mining and milling operations at the company's Laverton Gold Project (LGP) to remedy on-going design and operational inefficiencies of the plant. The decision is a result of management recommendation following an extensive operational review and assessment of the crushing and milling circuit.
Consequently, there will be an immediate reduction in the required workforce. The Board regrets the need for this reduction, however it remains the most feasible alternative to best realise the value of the current in-ground resources. This reduction will affect both Crescent personnel and contract support. An adjustment to the carrying value of the operations is expected in the June year end accounts....... - Web Site

Otto Galoc Update
Otto Energy Ltd (ASX: OEL) provides the following update on the Galoc Field. Otto has an 18.28% indirect interest in the Galoc Oil Field through its 31.38% shareholding in the field operator, Galoc Production Company WLL (GPC).
As reported on 23 June, as a result of Typhoon Fengshen in the Sulu Sea the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel was disconnected from the mooring and riser system and relocated to calmer waters to wait out the storm.
Weather conditions improved last week and the FPSO was mobilised back on site, with reconnection procedures having commenced on 1st July 2008.
Otto has been informed by the Operator GPC that during the disconnection the retrieval line (that is connected to the top of the riser for pulling it back up from the seafloor to connect to the FPSO) was damaged and a new retrieval line will be attached to the equipment on the seabed before the riser can be lifted for reconnection to the FPSO.
It is anticipated that the new retrieval line will be connected this week and the riser and mooring tether will then be lifted and reconnected to the FPSO. - Web Site

Stokes Bay 1 Well Inspection and Pressure Testing
ARC Energy Limited advises that the EP104/R1 Joint Venture has undertaken well inspection operations at the Stokes Bay 1 well to assist in the design of the definitive testing program.
On inspecting the location it was noted that there is minor flood damage to the roadway and pad with access currently possible for light vehicles and relatively minor repairs required for heavy vehicle access.
Operations at the well included removal of the back pressure valve on the well and installation of the well head and pressure gauges. The well head pressure was noted to be 1200 psi. On opening the well to the test pit, it flowed gas for approximately six minutes before slugging mud and gas with flow ceasing after some 30 minutes.
After an overnight shut-in the well head pressure was noted as 250 psi but there was no significant flow. The well has now been shut-in and the crew has demobilised.
These results are interpreted to be very encouraging with the gas flowing either from the Laurel gas sands below the 7 inch casing shoe or from the Nullara reef section. The noted presence of gas and well-head pressure will assist in the evaluation of the best method to undertake a definitive test of the reservoir. ARC will now undertake this evaluation for review by the joint venture. - Web Site

Neptune Project Begins Production
Woodside advises that first oil and natural gas production has commenced from the Neptune Project in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, United States.
The Neptune Project, operated by BHP Billiton, consists of a tension leg platform installed in 1300 metres of water, located in Green Canyon Block 613. Field development includes six initial subsea wells tied back to the platform. The platform has a capacity of up to 50,000 barrels of oil a day and 50 million cubic feet of gas a day.
Production will be initially from one well, and will increase sequentially as other producers are brought on line. Further development wells are expected to be drilled after the acquisition and interpretation of new seismic data, which will be obtained in the latter half of 2008.
First production from Neptune comes after our Power Play development (Woodside interest: 20%) was brought on line in June, giving Woodside its first two deepwater producing fields in the Gulf of Mexico.
Woodside has a 20% interest in Neptune through its wholly-owned subsidiary Woodside Energy (USA) Inc. BHP Billiton has a 35% interest and is operator of the project. Other participants are Marathon Oil Company (30%) and Maxus (US) Exploration Company (15%). - Web Site

MINING RAMP-UP NOW COMPLETE
Production performance at the Beaconsfield Mine is continuing to improve with the operation now returned to full mining rates following the introduction of a new remote mining method. In June, the mine hoisted and processed a little over 20,000 tonnes of ore, equal to the production levels (240,000 tonnes per annum) being achieved before mining was suspended in April 2006.
During the June quarter, 51,869 tonnes of ore were processed, an increase of 69% compared with the March 2008 quarter. Gold production of 11,525 ounces of gold represented a 25% increase over the previous quarter. Gold production increased on a month by month basis throughout the quarter but was, however, impacted by a slight delay in accessing higher grade stopes, and in particular the deferral into early July of one high grade western stope estimated to contain in excess of 2,000 ounces and which had originally been scheduled to be processed in the last week of June.
The outlook for the September quarter is excellent with good availability of high grade stope ore accessed from established footwall drives in the 980 western stoping block. Gold production of between 20,000 and 25,000 ounces is targeted for the September quarter.
Consistent with the strategy of identifying opportunities to utilise spare capacity in the ore treatment plant, mining rates of 25,000 tonnes per month (300,000 tonnes per annum) are planned for 2009 following the establishment of large stoping blocks currently being developed in the eastern part of the mine. Increased level spacing and ore and waste pass systems are planned to provide improved productivity.
Beaconsfield Gold CEO Mr Bill Colvin said that returning mining rates to previous levels had been a complex and challenging exercise. "The team at the Beaconsfield Gold Mine are to be congratulated for their hard work in safely implementing the remote mining method and demonstrating that it can sustain good productivity levels. This was a critical step in securing a successful future for the mine" Mr Colvin said.

FOX OUTLINES NEW COMPANY GROWTH STRATEGY
The Board of Fox Resources Limited (ASX: FXR) today announced a new growth strategy for the 2009 financial year focused on three key areas; increasing iron ore exploration, continuing nickel and copper exploration in the Pilbara region, and improving the efficiency of the Company's Radio Hill mill.
Influenced by current nickel prices (at two year lows) and the strong Australian dollar, Fox recognised the current environment as an opportunity to complete underground mining and milling operations at Radio Hill by the end of July 2008, defer the Sholl B2 nickel project and accelerate the Company's exploration efforts.
The aim of the new strategy is to focus on Fox's demonstrated exploration strengths in the Pilbara to deliver shareholder value and to significantly reduce the Company's future operating costs. Specific plans are to:

ACC Market Update on Green Cement Products
The environmentally sustainable "Green" cement products are receiving a very positive market reception. This is mainly on environmental grounds due to the increasing pressures on finding cleaner alternatives to Ordinary Portland Cement, (OPC). OPC is a limestone based binder, with gypsum and clay additives, and the manufacturing process releases 0.8 of a tonne of CO2 emissions for each one tonne of cement produced. We have commissioned an independent expert report comparing the carbon footprints of each and the interim study concludes an approximate 75% reduction in CO2 release versus OPC. This is a dramatic reduction and we believe this is a conservatively structured initial estimate. The main points of difference are the replacement of limestone with carbon friendly additives and, the avoidance of the high temperature limestone calcination process. There are additional important technical benefits which are also receiving customer interest.
During the last four months we have entered into discussions with a number of major "end-user" companies and customer testing of products is in process. We have also entered into a Heads of Agreement for a Middle East, (UAE), Joint Venture for manufacturing a mortar based product and have received letters of intent from global majors. We expect customer testing to be completed in the forthcoming few weeks and then expect these to result in individual marketing contracts. These initiatives are aimed at the mortar/render product applications. Regular production of concrete block production using our activated kaolin has commenced in NSW and this product is planned for expansion to Queensland and Victoria shortly. - Web Site
