Wall Street rebounded strongy Friday as a surge in the US dollar and another plunge in oil prices eased some of investors' worries about losses at mortgage finance company Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae reported a loss of $2.3 billion for the quarter, or $2.54 a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial had expected the company to report a loss of 68 cents a share. The report from Fannie Mae follows a loss Wednesday from fellow mortgage financier Freddie Mac that was more than three times larger than Wall Street analysts had expected.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a relatively light 4.82 billion shares compared with 5.09 billion shares traded Thursday.
The US dollar's rise against the euro came after the European Central Bank and the Bank of England separately left their benchmark interest rates unchanged Thursday. The euro plunged the most in almost eight years on speculation a slowing economy will prevent the ECB from raising interest rates.
Oil prices fell to about $115 a barrel on Friday, driven lower by a huge jump in the U.S. dollar, signs of moderating demand around the world and the belief that commodities may have peaked.
For the week, the Dow rose 3.6 percent, the S&P gained 2.9 percent and the technology-heavy Nasdaq jumped 4.5 percent. It was their best weekly performance since the week ended April 18.
Copper fell, capping the biggest weekly drop since May 2007, on heightened concern that slumping economies worldwide will erode demand for industrial commodities. Most other metals also fell.
Gold fell for the sixth straight session, the longest slide since June 2006, as the euro slumped against the dollar, eroding the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also dropped.

20% COPPER INTERSECTED AT PROMONTORIO
WIDE INTERCEPT OF HIGH GRADE COPPER, GOLD & SILVER
Azure Minerals Limited (ASX: AZS) is pleased to advise that the Company has finally received the outstanding assays from the lower part of the first drillhole APR-DD-001 at its Promontorio Project in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Following the previously announced intercept of 4.00 metres @ 9.7% copper, 6.6g/t gold & 134g/t silver from the Mina Vieja vein within the upper part of APR-DD-001, assay results from the Veta Grande vein within the lower part of APR-DD-001, have returned:
Promontorio comprises multiple massive and semi-massive sulphide veins containing very high grades of copper, gold and silver. From west to east there are three main veins - Santiago, Mina Vieja and Veta Grande - interspersed with several other, un-named, mineralised veins. All veins strike approximately north-south, dip steeply to the west, and demonstrate good geological continuity (see Figures 1 & 2).
The current drilling program has confirmed that these mineralised veins are continuous over a strike length of at least 160 metres. Furthermore, historical exploration indicates that the mineralised system extends for more than 250 metres, and remains open-ended along strike...... - Web Site

Aurora Oil & Gas ("Aurora") is pleased to provide the market with an update on operations at the Kowalik #1H well within the Sugarloaf AMI, which is part of the Sugarkane Gas and Condensate Field.
Kowalik #1H
Aurora has been advised by the operator, Texas Crude Energy Inc ("TCEI"), that as of 06:00hrs 05/08/08 (US CST) the Kowalik #1H well had reached a depth of 9,823ft in the 8 3/4" hole section and was drilling ahead.
This vertical section of the well will be drilled as a pilot hole down to approximately 11,970 ft through the chalk. This will then be logged, plugged back and the well sidetracked in the 8 3/4" hole size to the top of the chalk before 7" casing is run prior to drilling the horizontal section. The well is planned to have a 6,000ft horizontal section and is targeting the upper pay interval that has been reported as successfully producing gas and condensate in three wells in the adjacent acreage. The Joint Venture is working towards this being the first in a continuous sequence of 4 wells. - Web Site

August Newsletter
Welcome to the second issue of the ‘Iron Age'. It has been a difficult time for investors but this is in contrast with a backdrop of a sustained resources boom. On the positive side merchant pig iron (‘MPI') prices recently reached record highs of around US$900/t but we have also seen cost increases and a strong Australian dollar absorbing some of these gains. We monitor what goes on in the world MPI markets and I am more convinced than ever that there are solid long term prospects for MPI and that this demand will be instrumental in ensuring that the Yalgoo Iron Project is a viable long term business. Despite short-lived market sentiment, real shareholder value will always be pinned to the financial returns generated by the Company and we are focused on this fact...... - Web Site

Wall Street tumbled Thursday as further troubles in the financial sector, higher unemployment and lackluster retail sales touched off fresh concerns about the economy.
Heading the list of worries, insurer American International Group Inc. reported a loss of more than $5 billion for the second quarter and the Labor Department said the number of newly laid off people seeking jobless benefits last week jumped to its highest level in more than six years. Weak sales reports from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other retailers added to investors' unease.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume totaled 5.09 billion shares, compared with 4.77 billion shares traded Wednesday.
Oil prices recovered to above $120 a barrel Thursday, halting a steep three-day slide after Kurdish rebels claimed responsibility for a fire at key Turkish pipeline that supplies Western countries.
Gold fell for a fifth straight session, the longest losing streak since June 2007, as a rebound in the dollar eroded the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also declined.
Last night the European Central Bank softened a broadly hawkish tone and signalled eurozone rates might have peaked.

(1) recent production performance at the Beaconsfield Gold Mine; and
(2) maiden copper resource for Thursdays Gossan in western Victoria.

Full Year Results 30 June 2008
Highlights
Operational
Financial
Strategic
Commenting on the full year results, Stuart Murray, CEO of Aquarius Platinum said, "We have increased our operating profits by 43% to $267 million before a once-off tax charge of $31 million and increased our gross margin to 61%; a performance that, along with the performance of our peers in the platinum mining sector, surely stands the sector apart from the rest of the market. This performance has occurred in a climate of unprecedented cost pressures and difficult industrial relations issues at our South African mines. Further, we have increased the dividend by 43% to US 20 cents and including the repurchase of shares in the subsidiary and parent, delivered an equivalent adjusted earnings of US 104 cents per share. Despite a challenging year, I believe that Aquarius is on a strong footing to recover from the production set-backs of 2008 and pick up again with the march for value driven growth in the new financial year. Further, I believe that opportunities in the platinum sector have never been more interesting, even if the operating remains challenging." - Web Site

Shaw River Acquires Interest in Manganese Tenements in Pilbara
Shaw River is pleased to announce today, the acquisition of a 70% stake in the manganese and iron rights to four highly prospective Pilbara tenements.
Sampling over the Barramine tenement in a July 2008 Helicopter Survey identified ore grade manganese in outcrops over a 13km trend. Assays up to 58.1% Mn have been returned with over 10 of the 29 samples taken at 10 separate locations returning over 30% Mn.
These acquisitions represent an exciting opportunity for Shaw River. The Barramine area has the same geological units and similar structural features to the Woodie Woodie deposits 80km to the south east, and initial work indicates we have outcropping ore grade mineralization. The Barramine area will become a high priority exploration project for the company. The manganese argument is very compelling, and the early high grade samples and excellent geological setting reinforce the exciting prospectivity of the tenements being acquired. - Web Site

Wall Street logged another winning day Wednesday as a drop in oil prices and a better-than-expected profit report from technology bellwether Cisco Systems Inc. helped corral the market's worries about the financial sector.
Oil extended its slide into a third day. Light, sweet crude settled down 59 cents at $118.58 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after the government reported a jump in domestic inventories.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 9 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a relatively light 4.77 billion shares, compared with 5.35 billion Tuesday.

REMNANT MINING ENDS AT WANNAWAY AS FOCUS TURNS TO NEW POTENTIAL AT DEPTH
Australian nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) today announced the end of remnant mining operations at its Wannaway Mine, due to the long-expected depletion of viable ore reserves. The mine will be placed on care and maintenance as of close of business on Friday, 8 August while the Company continues drilling beneath the old workings, where recent high-grade nickel intersections have demonstrated substantial new ore potential.
The Company said that the cessation of operations at Wannaway was not expected to have a material effect on Group production for the financial year, which is forecast at between 19,500 and 20,500 tonnes of nickel in ore.
Mincor said that Wannaway had been expected to close in January 2005, once the original 400,000- tonne ore reserve had been mined. However, the dedicated and highly skilled Wannaway workforce had succeeded in keeping the mine operating on a safe and profitable remnant-mining basis for 3 and a half years beyond that time..... - Web Site

LUMBA LUMBA-1A EXPLORATION WELL UPDATE
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") provides the following information on the Lumba Lumba-1A exploration well.
Location
The Lumba Lumba-1A exploration well is located in permit SC 41 at an approximate latitude of 6o 11' 12.77"N and longitude 119o 15' 33.58"E. The permit is located in the Sulu Sea, Philippines, approximately 135 km off the northeastern coast of Borneo.
Progress
Drilling operations are proceeding at the Lumba Lumba-1A following the cementing of the 20" casing. Lumba Lumba-1A has since progressed to 2,175 meters Measured Depth and is currently drilling ahead.
Lumba Lumba-1A is planned to drill to a total depth of around 3,000 metres Measured Depth in a water depth of 1,100 m and is planned to take an additional 14 days to reach the total well depth.
Tap Comment
Lumba Lumba-1A has drilled through two shallow objective levels with elevated gas readings but the limited data gathered to date does not suggest that reservoir quality sands have been intersected. Intermediate wireline logs will be acquired to provide more definitive information in regards to the presence of reservoir. Drilling operations will proceed to reach the deeper secondary target prior to obtaining final wireline logs.
Lumba Lumba is designed to test a large inversion structure with multiple objectives in interpreted channel and fan complexes. Tap believes that SC 41 has the potential to be a "game changer" for the company as it contains numerous prospective features of substantial size. Various independent play concepts exist in SC 41 that are being matured for drilling independent of the Lumba Lumba-1 results. - Web Site

DRILLING REPORT - 5 August 2008 - WELL NAME: Cobra 1A ST2 and ST3, PNG
Oil Search reports that due to mechanical problems at Cobra 1A ST2, the PPL 190 participants have decided to drill a third sidetrack at the Cobra 1A well. As at 0600 on 5 August, operations were close to completion on Cobra 1A ST2 and drilling will commence shortly at Cobra 1A ST3.
Since the last report, Cobra 1A ST2 was drilled to a total depth of 2,894 metres and logging-while-drilling logs were acquired prior to the drill pipe becoming stuck across the sand interval while pulling out of the hole. Interpretation of the log data indicates the Hedinia sandstone interval intersected in Cobra 1A ST2 is both thicker and of better quality than that in Cobra 1A and Cobra 1A ST1. Elevated gas readings up to C5 were encountered within the upper section of the Hedinia sandstone but it was not possible to acquire pressure measurements to define the presence and type of hydrocarbons.
Cobra 1A ST3 will be drilled close to Cobra 1A ST2 and a short liner to cover the interval above the sand is being considered to mitigate the problems seen in Cobra 1A ST2.
Cobra 1A ST3 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. - Web Site

Target Energy Limited - East Chalkley Oil Rates Increase
PINE PASTURE #2 (EAST CHALKLEY) - WELL TESTING
Report Date: 7:00 pm 5/08/08 (Western Aust Standard Time) / 6:00 am 5/08/08 (USA Central Daylight Time)
Progress: Continue flow testing. During the week the well has been pumped at rates up to 405 barrels of fluid (oil and water) per day. Oil cut has ranged from 20% to 50%.
The well is presently shut-in undergoing a pressure buildup test.
Comment: Managing Director Laurence Roe said, "Total fluid production has increased and there has been a significant increase in the proportion of oil to water. It appears that the rate of oil production in the initial flow testing phase may have been under-reported. Production testing will continue after the buildup test is complete. It is worth noting that East Chalkley has always been expected to produce both oil and water and that this has been factored into the appraisal and development plans.
"East Chalkley is expected to boost our operating cash flows and earnings per share, however we will be in a better position to quantify the impact once flow testing has been completed.
"At this time Target has a cash backing of over 5 cents per share, ongoing production revenue and three more wells to be drilled this year - all fully funded - including the 204 Bcf / 10 mmBO potential Catapult prospect. Combined with the encouraging results at East Chalkley, Target remains well positioned for the future". - Web Site

Portman Limited (ASX:PMM) (Portman) notes certain press comments regarding the possibility that Portman's largest shareholder, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc of the USA, might seek to increase its interest in Portman to 100%. Cleveland-Cliffs has indicated to Portman that it is not unusual for Cleveland-Cliffs to have a number of potential transactions under consideration, but at the present moment the focus of the Cleveland- Cliff's board is on the recently announced merger with Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. Whilst it always remains open to Cleveland-Cliffs to offer to acquire all of the shares in Portman that it does not presently own, Cleveland-Cliffs has not made any such proposal to Portman.
Portman will continue to keep its shareholders and the market fully informed in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations under ASX's Listing Rules. - Web Site

An already soaring Wall Street extended its advance Tuesday after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and assuaged some of the market's fears about the economy. Early in the session, shares rose sharply after the Institute for Supply Management, the trade group of corporate purchasing executives, said its services sector index rose to 49.5 from 48.2 in June.
The Dow Jones industrial average shot up more than 330 points, and all the major indexes had gains approaching 3 percent.
The oil market also helped soothe some of Wall Street's worries -- crude fell as low as $118 a barrel - on the growing belief that a U.S. economic slowdown and high energy costs are curbing consumer demand for gasoline and other petroleum products - before settling at $119.17, down $2.24 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Advancing issues led decliners by a 3 to 1 basis on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 5.35 billion shares, up from 4.65 billion shares on Monday.
Base metals ended steady to lower on Tuesday, easing off session lows after markets jittery about global demand prospects pushed copper to a six-month low and zinc to its lowest level in 2-1/2-years.
Gold fell below $900 an ounce for the first time since June as the dollar's rebound and plunging energy costs reduced the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against inflation. Silver also declined.

INITIAL DRILLING CONFIRMS ADDITIONAL HIGH GRADE GOLD IN EAST LODE OPEN PIT, WILUNA
LIKELY TO INCREASE RESERVES AND INITIAL PRODUCTION FROM OPEN PIT
Apex Minerals NL (ASX: AXM) is pleased to announce encouraging initial results from reverse circulation (RC) grade control drilling at the East Lode open pit, where drilling has confirmed the presence of a significant zone of high grade mineralisation which has not yet been factored into any resource or reserve estimates and is likely to boost production from this area.
In the East Lode open pit, the current Indicated Resource stands at 289,000 tonnes @ 4.0g/t gold for 38,000oz and the current Probable Reserve stands at 264,000 tonnes @ 3.3g/t gold for 30,000oz. A revised resource and reserve estimate will be completed during August ahead of the start of mining in September.
Initial RC drilling has defined a distinct high grade zone adjacent to the known resource and reserve (Figure 1). This zone falls within the designed pit shell and can therefore be mined without the need for any additional stripping or cutback to the pit. It is likely to boost production from the East Lode open pit at no additional mining cost, enhancing project economics during the initial six months of production.
Drill intersections are shown in Table 1, and better results include:

Curnamona Energy Limited (ASX:CUY, 45% owned by Havilah Resources NL ASX:HAV) is pleased to announce that recent drilling has begun to outline another previously unknown area of sand hosted uranium mineralisation west of the Oban deposit. Thusfar, the new mineralisation extends over 60,000 square metres and additional holes will be drilled during the next few weeks to define the full extent.
The best hole to date in this zone is CEY292 with 5.2m of mineralisation (above 100ppm eU3O8) with a grade thickness of 0.21 metres percent eU3O8. The graphic log is shown below along with the current location of the new drillholes.
This discovery highlights the potential of the Oban area for sand hosted uranium mineralisation in a geological environment that is ideal for development of roll-front uranium deposits. The area abuts an exploration licence that is being explored by the large French Areva Group, one of the foremost uranium companies in the world. ..... - Web Site

Operational Advice Sabretooth Well
The Davis Bintliff #1 well was drilling ahead at a measured depth of 13,336 feet as at 0600 hours CDT this morning. A drilling break (an increase in the rate of penetration) was recorded from 13,196 to 13,267 feet measured depth. In line with industry practice, drilling was temporarily halted to observe the fluid level (a "flow check") and a positive mud flow at the surface was indicated.
Also during this interval, mud logging equipment recorded a gas show that peaked at 2620 gas units. Before drilling into this sandstone, the background gas had been measured at 48 units. This represents a gas increase of over 50 times the background gas measurement and is therefore considered to be significant. An increase in heavy gases (C2, C3, C4, and C5's) was also noted.
As a result of the influx of gas, the mud weight exiting the wellbore was reduced from 14.5 pounds per gallon (ppg) to 12.7 ppg while drilling this sand, and in order to continue drilling safely (and because of the positive flow check noted above) an increase from 14.5 ppg to 15.5 ppg in the mud weight entering the wellbore has been required.
This and other drilling data adduced to date, as well as the examination of rock chips, suggest the existence of a reservoir quality rock in this zone that appears to be gas saturated. The zone will be examined in more detail through the evaluation of electronic logs to be recorded before the next casing string is set.
Notwithstanding the positive evidence found in this zone, it bears noting that the two main target zones for this well have yet to be penetrated.... - Web Site

New Copper - Zinc Discovery in Western Australia
Significant copper-zinc mineralisation in a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system, has been discovered at the Austin prospect, part of the Quinns project owned by Silver Swan Group Ltd (ASX:SWN) in the Murchison belt of Western Australia, about 55 km south of the town of Meekatharra.
Large, high-grade intersections of volcanogenic copper and zinc mineralisation that bears similarities to the Golden Grove base metal mine owned by OZ Minerals, 240km to the southwest has been discovered.
Results include
Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) is typically Cu-Zn-Au-Ag rich. The diamond drilling was carried out to test conductors detected by a fixed loop electromagnetic (EM) survey previously reported by Silver Swan Group. Mineralisation is associated with highly altered footwall felsic volcanic rock and schists, and hangingwall banded iron formation and amphibolites. The sulphide assemblage of chalcopyrite-sphalerite-pyrrhotite-magnetite±gold±silver is similar to the Golden Grove VMS system. - Web Site

Wall Street fell Monday in an erratic session dominated by worries about inflation (Commerce Department said an inflation gauge tied to consumer spending had surged 0.8 percent in June) -- which were somewhat soothed by a plunge in oil prices that took crude to its lowest level in three months.
Light, sweet crude closed down $3.69, or 2.9 percent, to settle at $121.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after Tropical Storm Edouard seemed unlikely to threaten oil and natural gas facilities in the Gulf of Mexico.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a relatively light 4.39 billion shares, down from 4.54 billion shares traded Friday.
Copper plunged to a six-month low as rising inventories on the London Metal Exchange and a slowing global economy signaled weaker demand for the metal.
Gold fell as a drop in energy costs reduced the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against inflation. Silver also declined.
BEACONSFIELD GOLD MINE PRODUCTION UPDATE
Beaconsfield Gold is pleased to provide an update in respect of gold production achieved at the Beaconsfield Gold Mine during July 2008. This information may be relevant to shareholders considering taking up their entitlements under the previously announced rights issue which closes on 15 August 2008.
7,328 ounces of gold were produced during the month of July, equivalent to an annualised rate of production of around 86,000 ounces. This is the best monthly production since mining was suspended in April 2006 and represents an increase of 87% compared to the average rate of gold production achieved in the June 2008 quarter.
In July, the mine processed 23,061 tonnes of ore at a grade of 10.8g/t gold. This level of production is encouraging in the context of planning to achieve production levels of 300,000 tonnes per annum (25,000 tonnes per month) in 2009. The newly introduced remote mining method being used in the Western Zone of the mine is continuing to perform well.
Gold production for the September 2008 quarter is targeted to be between 20,000 and 25,000 ounces.

OIL BASINS LIMITED'S LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ARC ENERGY LIMITED IN RELATION TO CANNING BASIN PERMITS IS BASELESS AND WITHOUT MERIT
On Friday 1 August 2008 ARC Energy Limited ("ARC") (ASX: ARQ) received a writ from Oil Basins Limited ("Oil Basins") (ASX: OBL) concerning an alleged breach of obligations relating to a Confidentiality and Non-Circumvention Agreement signed by ARC in November 2006 in relation to certain permits in the Canning Basin.
ARC considers the claims made by Oil Basins to be both baseless and vexatious. ARC intends to defend itself vigorously against these wholly unfounded and unwarranted claims.
ARC confirms that the legal action instigated by Oil Basins has no impact on the Merger Implementation Agreement between ARC and AWE, and that the General Meeting and Scheme Meeting concerning the Demerger of Buru Energy and the Merger with AWE will be held on Tuesday 5 August 2008.
ARC has yet to receive a full statement of claims from Oil Basins, but notes that the claims relate to a Confidentiality and Non-Circumvention Agreement between the two companies signed in November 2006, and an alleged breach of this agreement in December 2006 via the acquisition by ARC of Terratek Drillings Tools Pty Limited ("Terratek") for a consideration of $2.8 million and a net well head royalty of 2%.
The claims relate to interests in L6, L8, PL7, EP 129 and 7/05-6 EP in the Canning Basin (the "Blina Licences") which are to be transferred to Buru under the proposed ARC demerger. Oil Basins has an agreement with Backreef Oil Ltd ("Backreef") to earn an interest in a sub-block of these licences. ARC notes that it has worked cooperatively with Backreef and Oil Basins in relation to these farmin arrangements in the almost two years since the alleged breach, and the alleged contravention had not been brought to ARC's attention prior to Friday's announcement by Oil Basins. - Web Site

MINCOR DELIVERS HIGH-GRADE NICKEL INTERSECTIONS AT WANNAWAY AND BURNETT
Exploration Success on Two Fronts including 3.70m @ 6.60% nickel
Australian nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) has achieved further success from its active exploration program in Kambalda, with the latest drilling delivering high-grade nickel intersections on two fronts, the Wannaway Mine and the newly discovered Burnett Shoot at the North Miitel operation. The Company said the results had positive implications for future resource extensions.
At Wannaway the results confirm Mincor's interpretation of a substantial mineralised zone below the NO2 ore body. Underground drill hole UWA-08-010 intersected a true width of 3.70 metres @ 6.60% nickel. The intersection is located inside the previously identified sediment-free window on the Basal Contact, and is the third drill hole in the area to intersect well-developed high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation (see long section attached).
The three intersections achieved to date below the Wannaway NO2 ore body are as follows:
UWA-08-010: 7.40 metres @ 6.60% nickel (true width 3.70 metres)
UWA-08-006: 2.53 metres @ 4.27% nickel (true width 1.77 metres)
and: 0.65 metres @ 9.57% nickel (true width 0.46 metres)
UWA-07-005: 1.84 metres @ 7.90% nickel (true width 1.40 metres)
At Burnett - which is the newly identified potential extension to the North Miitel ore body - an intersection of 3.0 metres @ 3.03% nickel (true width) was achieved in underground diamond drill hole UMI-08-030. The intersection lies 250 metres beyond the northernmost underground development at North Miitel, and may represent a major extension to mineralisation. It occurs in what appears to be the faulted continuation of the main Miitel ore system, where the basal contact has been faulted approximately 130 metres into the hangingwall.... - Web Site
