Australian Mining & Exploration Companies-News

Wall Street tumbled Friday after the government said personal incomes fell last month by the largest amount in nearly three years (0.7 percent in July) while consumer spending slowed. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 170 points, while a disappointing profit report from computer maker Dell Inc. weighed on the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers Friday by nearly 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a light 959.1 million shares compared with 956.2 million shares traded Thursday.

For the week, Dow fell 1 percent, the S&P 500 lost 1.18 percent and the Nasdaq fell 3.47 percent. And in August, the Dow rose 1.45 percent, the S&P 500 gained 1.22 percent and the Nasdaq added 1.80 percent.

Light, sweet crude fell 13 cents to $115.46 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. While oil trading has been orderly as Gustav progresses, there is concern about damage from the storm or a disruption in the flow of gasoline and other fuel from Gulf Coast refineries.

Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report - for the quarter ended 31 July 2008

The second quarter for 2008 saw further progress on the Mining Lease Proposal for the Kanmantoo Copper/Gold Mine Project in South Australia and Hillgrove's takeover bid for InterMet Resources Limited.

HIGHLIGHTS

Resource definition drill program undertaken in June at the Kanmantoo Copper/Gold Mine successfully met objectives with robust copper-gold intersections. Better results including:
- KTDD150: 17m @ 1.33% Copper, and 0.43g/t Gold (Main Zone)
- KTRC637: 15m @ 1.52% Copper, and 0.17g/t Gold from 36m (Emily Star)
- KTRC633: 16m @ 1.34% Copper, and 0.10g/t Gold from 29m (Emily Star).
Hillgrove continues working towards gaining development approvals for the 100% owned Kanmantoo Copper/Gold Project and is expecting to be awarded the Mining Lease by the third or fourth quarter of 2008 and an approved Mining and Rehabilitation Plan in the later part of the fourth quarter 2008.
Eastern Star Gas Limited entered into a Heads of Agreement with the APA Group, owner of the Central West and Moomba Sydney Gas Pipelines. Under the HoA, options for early delivery of coal seam gas from the Narrabri area into the NSW gas market are to be investigated.
InterMet Resources Limited received very encouraging first pass gold results from the Forsayth drilling program with the best intersection 6m @ 29g/t gold. A total of thirty seven one metre samples reported >1g/t, with the highest sample reporting 86.6g/t gold.
On May 12 Hillgrove announced its intention to make a scrip offer to acquire all of the shares of InterMet with an offer consideration of four HGO for every five outstanding ITT shares.
Investment portfolio and cash totalled $99.64 million at the end of the quarter. - Web Site

PERILYA

Perilya announces 2008 Full Year Report

Perilya (ASX:PEM) today released its financial results for the year ending 30 June 2008, reporting a net loss after tax of $140.2 million after one-off impairment write downs totalling $188.2 million (pre tax) associated primarily with its Broken Hill zinc and lead operation. Excluding the effect of one-off items, the underlying net loss after tax attributable to members of the company was $22.1 million.

The results reflect the challenging period of the past 12 months that saw metal prices fall significantly giving rise to Perilya's recent decision to resize the Broken Hill Operation to focus on a lower production and cost profile. (ASX Release 21 August 2008).

Underlying net loss after tax of $22.1 million
Impairment write downs on the carrying value of mine property, plant and quipment and exploration assets of $188.2 million (pre tax) due primarily to the resizing of the Broken Hill Operation
Resized and focussed on sustaining a financially viable operation during the low metal prices environment
Positioning to re-establish increased production and profitability when metal prices increase
Zinc production was 91,295 tonnes and lead production was 52,412 tonnes for the year. (FY07: 92,100 tonnes of zinc and 60,500 tonnes of lead).

Going forward we are resizing the Broken Hill Operation, reviewing the development opportunities for the Mount Oxide copper project, other non-core assets, and Perilya's capital management... - Web Site

BEACH PETROLEUM DIVIDEND FOLLOWS STRONG 2007-08 OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Beach Petroleum Limited (ASX: "BPT") is paying a steady annual dividend following another strong operating performance by the company's expanded oil and gas operations in the year ended 30 June 2008.

Normalised net profit after tax jumped 69.2% to $52.7 million compared with $31.2 million in the previous financial year, before taking into account the impact of the Company's previously announced hedge book closure.

Highlights of the 2007-2008 operating performance included:-

Record total revenue up from $574 million to record $685 million
Oil and gas sales of record $564 million (previous year $472 million)
73.1% higher net cash flow - up to $199.8 million
Further increase in petroleum reserves to record levels
Net assets above $1 billion at balance date

Cash on hand at 30 June 2008 was $376.5 million (previous year $74.7 million)

Directors have declared a steady 1 cent per share final dividend, maintaining the annual dividend at 1.75 cents per share. The final dividend will be paid on 24 October 2008 to Beach shareholders registered on 3 October 2008.

If the impact of Beach's decision to pay off commodity hedging with the closure of a major part of its hedge book is included, net profit after tax for the past financial year was $63.7 million (previous year $103.8 million and EBIT was $108.6 million (189.1 million).

The closure of the hedge book has enhanced Beach's exposure to the higher global spot prices for oil instead of being pinned down to unrealistic hedge prices - some of which were inherited on acquisition of the Delhi group of companies in late 2006....... - Web Site

PAN PACIFIC PETROLEUM

ANNUAL PROFIT ANNOUNCEMENT - 29 August 2008

Pan Pacific Petroleum NL advises a net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2008 of A$52.4 million.

EBITDAR (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and royalties) were A$126 million.

These results are a reflection of the excellent performance of the Tui Area Oil Project since first oil on 30 July 2007, with PPP's share of production to 30 June 2008 being approximately 1.4m barrels.

Year end saw the company holding A$81 million in cash after having fully repaid its Tui project borrowing by 30 June 2008.

As previously reported, proven and probable oil reserves at Tui were upgraded twice during the year, to 50.1 million barrels (PPP share 10%).

Renegotiation of the operating lease terms over the FPSO have secured use of this facility until up to 2022, which reflects the fact that Tui reserves and production rates have proven to be substantially more favourable than originally forecast. - Web Site

HIGH GRADE FREE MILLING GOLD AT PREMIUM AND CASCADE PROSPECTS, GIDGEE

Apex Minerals NL (ASX: AXM) is pleased to announce high grade drill results from the Premium and Cascade prospects within its Gidgee project. This mineralisation is free milling (non-refractory) and is close to existing infrastructure established for the mining of the nearby Wilsons resource and adjacent to existing underground development.

Premium

Drilling at the Premium prospect has focussed on infilling previous drill holes to a standard sufficient to estimate a mineral resource. The mineralisation comprises quartz veins with local visible gold within a steep east dipping lode measuring approximately 150m along strike and 150m down dip (Figures 1 and 2). This zone is 200m along strike from existing underground development. Intersections are summarised in Table 1 and include:

2.5m @ 16.8g/t gold (est. 2.0m true width) from 175m in AGDD76.
5.8m @ 5.2g/t gold (est. 4.7m true width) from 176m in AGDD74.
5.0m @ 4.2g/t gold (est. 4.0m true width) from 205m in AGDD75.

These results supplement previous intersections which include 12m @ 40.8g/t gold in GDC58, 8.4m @ 21.7g/t gold in GDC44, 11m @ 17.8g/t gold in GDC30, 7m @ 7.1g/t gold in AGDC8 and 5m @ 6.4g/t gold in AGDC5 (Figures 1 and 2).

Cascade

Initial drilling beneath the previously mined Cascade zone has intersected a new zone situated only 180m laterally from the Premium zone, and within 100m of existing underground development. This new zone contains gently south dipping quartz veins with visible gold and remains open down dip to the west and the south. Intersections are listed in Table 1 and shown in Figure 3, and include:

1.5m @ 15.7g/t gold (est. 1.3m true width) from 193.5m and 7m @ 10.1g/t gold (est. 6.1m true width) from 231m in AGDD97.
2.05m @ 9.8g/t gold (est. 1.8m true width) from 248.6m in AGDD82.
1.6m @ 7.4g/t gold (est. 1.4m true width) from 237.7m and 2.0m @ 8.2g/t gold (est. 1.75m true width) from 252.0m in AGDD81. ..... - Web Site

NEW ZEALAND OIL & GAS

Strong Result for NZOG and Extra Dividend Declared

New Zealand Oil & Gas Ltd (NZOG) has today released its annual financial results, which reflect a transformational year for the company, and announced an additional dividend.

For the 12 months ended 30 June 2008, NZOG recorded a net profit of $97.2 million from total revenue of $234.1 million.

This compares to a net profit of $6.8 million* and revenue of $4.2 million* in the corresponding 12 month period a year earlier.

* Restated for New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).

NZOG has previously reported a cash balance at 30 June of $256 million. This has since risen to $285 million and the company is well positioned to pursue new investment opportunities.

Extra Dividend

In April 2008, a fully imputed dividend of 5c per share was paid to shareholders. Given the outstanding full year result, the Board has resolved to pay a further fully imputed dividend of 5 cents per ordinary share.

The determination of entitlements for the extra 5 cents dividend will be taken from the close of the share register on Friday 19 September 2008. The dividend will be paid on Wednesday 1 October 2008.

Going forward, the Board's policy is to distribute a reasonable proportion of profit by way of an annual dividend. Future dividends are expected to be announced to coincide with release of the annual results.

Tui Oil Fields

A standout achievement during the year was the performance of the Tui Area Oil Fields, situated off the Taranaki coast, which began production on 30 July 2007. 11 months later, at the end of the financial year, reserves had been upgraded by 80%, production was 42% ahead of forecast and returns had been boosted by record international oil prices.

Total oil production from Tui for the financial year was 14.2 million barrels. NZOG's share was 1.8 million barrels and the average net sales price was just under US$100 a barrel.

NZOG achieved project ‘payback' - recovery of all exploration and development costs for the Tui Area Oil Project - by December 2007 - just four and a half months from production start-up.

During the year the initial proven and probable (2P) reserves were upgraded to 50.1 million barrels. In addition, the lease term for the floating production storage and offtake vessel (FPSO) Umuroa was extended to the end of 2015 with rights to extend to 2022. Our current expectation is that Tui will continue commercial production to around 2020..... - Web Site

Completion of Phase 1 Rubicon Unit 3D Seismic Survey

Samson Oil & Gas Limited ("Samson") (AMEX: SSN /ASX: SSN) announced today that the acquisition of 27 square miles of the Phase 1 (Covering Samson's entire acreage) of a new 3-D seismic survey in Samson's joint federal exploratory unit (the Rubicon Unit) with Devon Energy has been completed in Sweetwater County, Wyoming.

As previously reported, Samson's exploration agreement with Devon covers Samson's 6,400 acre holding in the western flank of the Vermillion Basin in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. This area contains a 3,500 foot section of Baxter Shale that was drilled in the 1970's and recovered a significant flow of gas from an unstimulated Baxter Shale. Since that time there has been significant development of the Baxter Shale in the Vermillion region 40 miles east of Samson's acreage, where other companies' drilling efforts have resulted in flows of up to 9 million cubic feet per day from the Baxter Shale...... - Web Site

Wall Street jumped Thursday (on light turnover) after a better-than-expected reading on the gross domestic product (rose at an annual rate of 3.3 percent for the April-June period) and a slight drop in jobless claims gave investors some reassurance that the economy is holding up. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped more than 200 points.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 956.2 million shares compared with 820.6 million shares Wednesday.

Crude oil futures climbed as much as 2% early on, moving higher on fear that Hurricane Gustav will disrupt Gulf production. As those fears subsided and a larger-than-expected build in natural gas inventories was announced oil dropped as much as 3.4%.

Copper fell after inventories monitored by the London Metal Exchange jumped to the highest in six months, easing supply concerns.

NEW GUINEA GOLD

Management Discussion & Analysis For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2008

OVERALL PERFORMANCE / HIGHLIGHTS IN QUARTER

1. Imwauna Gold Project/Normanby Property

A resource statement for the Imwauna Project, Normanby Property was issued in mid June, as forecast in the March Quarter MD & A.

The Inferred Mineral Resource was 1.8 million tonnes at 12.2 g/t gold and 20 g/t silver for contained metal of 706,000 ozs gold and 1,160,000 ozs silver.

Some of the main points relating to the Resource and Project were:

Resource is relatively high grade; open along strike and to depth; defined over a strike length of 1,500m to date and to depths below surface varying from 50 to 150 meters. In the event this resource is developed it would be largely open-pittable.
Resource commences at surface; has been defined by numerous excavator trenches and 137 drill holes. Drilling is continuing with two diamond core rigs.
As indicated and illustrated in our Press Release dated 23 April 2008, drill target areas have been defined at depth below the limit of present drill holes. These areas will be explored in the near future
Potential for bonanza zones is suggested by trench bulk samples such as 82kgs averaging 424g/t gold (12.37ozs/ton) and 63kgs averaging 70g/t gold (2.04 ozs/ton), supported by drill results such as 3m at 109g/t gold, (3.18 ozs/ton); 5.6m at 36g/t gold (1.05 ozs/ton) and 0.4m at 438g/t gold (12.78 ozs/ton)...........

FELIX RESOURCES

FELIX RESOURCES MOOLARBEN PROJECT

The NSW State Government today announced its intention to make amendments to the Mining Act 1992 to provide greater clarity concerning landholder objections to mining lease applications.

The Minister's announcement was in response to the recent decision in the Court of Appeal concerning objections by Ulan Coal Mines to the granting of a mining lease to Moolarben Coal Mines, which is 80% owned by Felix Resources.

Felix Resources Managing Director, Brian Flannery said he is pleased the Government has taken this action as it will resolve long standing issues relating to the mining industry.

"We are encouraged that the State Government is looking at preserving the rights of mining companies, and certainly for landholders that will help avoid costly litigation."

Felix is currently seeking further clarity from the State Government on how today's announcement impacts Friday's deadline for final submissions ahead of any formal orders being made regarding the recent Court of Appeal judgement.

Felix is ready to proceed with the Moolarben development which will result in over 300 jobs in the mid western region and provide significant benefits to the people of New South Wales and Australia through royalties, income tax and other forms of revenue. We expect this intervention by the Government will give certainty to these benefits..... - Web Site

FELIX RESOURCES

FELIX RESOURCES ANNOUNCES PROFIT INCREASE

Felix Resources (Felix) is pleased to announce its profit before tax for FY2008 was $254.3 million which is a 411% increase on FY2007.

This resulted in an NPAT of $188.5 million (2007: $47.2 million). This has been our best year by far with our attributable sales tonnage increasing by 24% to 4.6mt over FY2007 tonnage.

With the current cash at bank of approximately $300 million, and a strong cash flow expected in FY2009 to fund the expansion of Yarrabee and Felix's 80% share of Moolarben, the Board has declared a dividend of 50 cents per share franked to 30% payable on 31 October 2008 to shareholders registered on 15 October 2008.

The operating mines at Minerva, Yarrabee and Ashton each had technical issues to overcome during the year. However the experience of the management and mine operators at each site resulted in positive outcomes and a strong platform going into FY2009.

The Board advised on 28 July 2008 that several parties have expressed interest in relation to a potential change of control transaction. Discussions with these parties are continuing.

At this stage the interest shown by these parties is preliminary, incomplete, non-binding and conditional. No formal written offer has been made to Felix.

The Board has appointed Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Ltd and Wilson HTM Corporate Finance Ltd to assist it.

There is, and can be, no assurance that any transaction will be proposed, but the Board undertakes to keep shareholders informed if matters develop.

Felix has released its Appendix 4E - Preliminary Final Report for FY2008. This and a discussion on the FY2008 results and other significant matters, accompany this release. - Web Site

ASHBURTON MINERALS

EXTENSIVE SURFACE COPPER MINERALISATION AT MT WEBB, WA

Ashburton wishes to inform the market of exciting initial information received from the field on the Mt Webb project.

The Company's geologists are currently investigating copper occurrences at the Pokali prospect within the Mt Webb IOCG project situated in the Gibson Desert near the NT border.

So far, in the first two days of field work, visible copper mineralisation (malachite, chalcopyrite) has been identified over a 2 km strike, with work ongoing along strike. The mineralisation at Pokali is reported as being associated with frequent quartz veining showing copper (malachite) staining with occasional fresh sulphides (chalcopyrite). These Cu-mineralised zones have a surface expression of up to 30m - 40m in width.

Also reported is a broad area of disseminated copper-sulphide mineralisation possibly indicative of a porphyry-Cu style system.

Current field work will include geological and structural mapping, and the collection of rock chip and soil samples. Initial results are expected in 2 -3 weeks' time. .... - Web Site

AZURE MINERALS

AZURE HITS +40% COPPER AT PROMONTORIO

On 13th August Azure Minerals Limited (ASX: AZS) announced that results of the mineralised intercept in drillhole APR-DD-009 were delayed due to the presence of three very high grade copper samples. Those copper grades required re-analysis using a specialised technique as they were too high for standard analytical methods.

The Company is pleased to advise that it has now received those outstanding assays, which to date are the highest copper grades returned from the Promontorio Project, being:

0.50 metres @ 43.9% copper from 86.00m;
0.50 metres @ 46.6% copper from 90.25m; and
0.40 metres @ 44.2% copper from 130.60m.

These samples are contained within wider zones of massive sulphide mineralisation which returned the following exceptional high grade intercepts:

Mina Vieja Vein

9.40 metres @ 12.5% copper, 3.9g/t gold & 266g/t silver from 82.00m;
including: 2.65 metres @ 27.7% copper, 7.4g/t gold & 501g/t silver from 84.50m;
and: 1.35 metres @ 28.1% copper, 6.1g/t gold & 654g/t silver from 89.75m.

Veta Grande Vein •

1.40 metres @ 20.7% copper, 1.2g/t gold & 270g/t silver from 130.60m;
including: 0.80 metres @ 35.6% copper, 1.8g/t gold & 455g/t silver from 130.60m.

To date Azure has completed drilling 29 holes for a total of 5,239 metres, and analytical results have been received for drillholes APR-DD-001 to 010. Resource definition drilling is continuing and the Company is on track to complete and publish a Mineral Resource in the fourth quarter of 2008. - Web Site

1 FOR 2 NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE OF SHARES

Minerals Corporation Limited ("the Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to make a non- renounceable rights issue ("Rights Issue") of 1 fully paid share in the Company ("New Share") for every 2 existing shares in the Company held by shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on 5 September 2008 at 5.00 pm (AEST) ("Qualifying Shareholder") at an issue price of 1.8 cents per New Share (the "Offer"). This issue price represents a discount of 10% to the closing price of MSC Shares trading on ASX on 27 August 2008.

An Appendix 3B in relation to the Rights Issue accompanies this announcement.

The Rights Issue will raise up to $21.4 million (less expected costs) in new capital. The new capital will be used to finance the redemption of $18.7 million of Series Two Debentures and to augment the working capital requirements of the Skardon River Kaolin operation. The Rights Issue is not underwritten, although the Company is in discussion with potential underwriters. This issue dramatically reduces the Company's debt load and debt servicing costs for the future. The Company does not require shareholder approval in relation to the Rights Issue. ..... - Web Site

ORIGIN ENERGY

Contact Energy Welcomes Wind Farm Call In

Contact Energy today said the Environment Minister's intention to call in the company's resource consent application for its proposed Hauāuru mā raki wind farm was a positive step forward for the project.

Hauāuru mā raki is a wind farm project of up to 540 megawatts which will be located on isolated farmland to the south of Port Waikato. Located close to major demand centres of Hamilton and Auckland, the project will provide enough renewable electricity to power around 180,000 homes.

Contact Chief Executive David Baldwin said the decision to use the call in powers of the Resource Management Act and have the application considered by an independent Board of Inquiry should remove the possibility for unnecessary delays while preserving the right for public participation.

"The decision to call in the Hauāuru mā raki wind farm consent application recognises the national significance of the project and the important contribution it can make to a secure, renewable electricity supply for New Zealand," he said.

Mr Baldwin said if New Zealand was to increase the amount of electricity generated from renewable sources, it was important that major electricity generation projects were able to be consented and constructed in a timely fashion.

Mr Baldwin said Contact had been working constructively with Environment Waikato and the Franklin and Waikato District councils throughout the development of the resource consent application and would continue to work closely with them during the hearing process. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street posted a sizable advance Wednesday after the government reported a larger-than-expected increase in orders for big-ticket manufactured goods that indicated the economy could be stronger than some investors thought. The Commerce Department said orders for durable goods jumped 1.3 percent in July compared with the previous month, led by a big gain in demand for commercial aircraft. That was well above the 0.1 increase expected by economists surveyed by Thomson/IFR.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a very light 3.42 billion shares compared with 3.44 billion shares Tuesday.

Light, sweet crude rose $1.88 to settle at $118.15 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on worries that Tropical Storm Gustav could enter the Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane and disrupt oil and natural gas production.

Copper and gold gained as a decline in the US dollar and a rise in energy costs increased demand for commodities as a hedge against inflation.

RESOLUTE

PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT

RESULTS

Revenues from continuing operations increased by 19% to $228.1m (2007: $192.1m).
EBITDA of $15.1m (2007: $2.8m normalised).
This result includes the effect of a significant reduction in hedging contracts, with 54% of gold production delivered into forward sales contracts, resulting in an average accounting revenue price achieved per ounce of gold shipped during the year of A$775/oz (2007: A$686/oz).
Net loss after tax of $44.9m includes a $38.9m unrealised treasury loss on gold forward and put option contracts which do not satisfy the strict accounting criteria to be classified as "effective hedges". The loss relating to the gold forwards will reverse in future periods as these financial instruments mature......- Web Site

Nakru Drilling in Progress

Diamond core drilling is underway at the Nakru 1 prospect after the Company successfully secured a drill rig for the Nakru project drilling programme.

The objective of the Nakru 1 drilling programme is to test for breccia-hosed polymetallic coppergold- molybdenum mineralisation and blind porphyry copper-gold+/-molybdenum mineralisation associated with an inferred sub-surface intrusion in the area.

Two of the four planned 50m deep holes have already been drilled and the third is currently being drilled to confirm the presence of a vent and test the extents of gold mineralisation. Stockwork breccia has been noted in the first two drill holes, similar to that which contained anomalous gold results in the surface trenching. At least two deeper (300m) holes will test for gold bearing fissures at depth (Figure 1: Sites 5 and 6). A minimum of two by 300m deep holes will test the large tonnage porphyry model at Site 7 and 8. The Company anticipates the drilling results will begin to be made available from mid September.

Trenching is continuing at Nakru 1 in order to define the limits of mineralisation of gold, copper, molybdenum and tellurium at surface (Figure 1). Already over 1,700m has been trenched with 60 samples collected to date.

Geophysical Induced Polarisation lines have been cut at Nakru 1 and Nakru 2 (Figure 2) in readiness for the survey to begin this week. The survey will help define sulphide hosted drill targets at Nakru 2 and sulphide and/or silica hosted targets at Nakru 1. The survey may also help orientate the planned deeper drill holes at Sites 7 and 8 at Nakru 1.

At Nakru 2, historical trenching had previously exposed significant polymetallic copper+gold+zinc+/-(molybdenum) targets within a 700m diameter circular feature which is now interpreted to be related to breccia pipe style mineralisation. Highlights of the historical trench sampling included 25m at 1.43% copper (Photo 1), 4m at 6.6% copper and 25m at 1.06 g/t gold. Soil sampling had previously outlined a copper-gold soil anomaly with rough dimensions of 400m by 200m. Historical grab sampling of mineralised outcrop gave assay values of 19.9% copper, 22% zinc and 260 ppm molybdenum.. - Web Site

Drilling Restarts at Tunkillia Gold - Silver Deposit

Minotaur Exploration Limited (ASX: MEP) is pleased to advise that drilling has re-commenced at the Area 223 gold project, Tunkillia, in central South Australia.

Forty one reverse circulation drillholes including eight with diamond drillhole tails are to be completed over the next two months providing data and samples for metallurgy, geotechnical analysis and further resource characterization.

The drilling forms an essential precursor to a definitive feasibility study that will optimize mining and processing methodologies in the lead-up to formal application for mining approvals. Representative samples of oxide and sulphide mineralization will be extracted for detailed metallurgical evaluation. Areas within an optimized pit shape currently lacking drill information will be tested for their ore and waste characteristics.

Minotaur farmed-in to the Tunkillia tenements in March 2005, as part of a regional program of copper-gold exploration and is earning a 51% equity in the project from Helix Resources (ASX:HLX). The current program is expected to see the Company achieve its earn-in expenditure and attain a 51% equitable interest.

Area 223 Gold and Silver Resources

In May 2007, the Company released a new resource for Area 223, comprising a combined mineral inventory of 0.8 million oz gold and 1.6 million oz silver to a depth of 200 metres below surface. Separate oxide and unweathered bedrock (primary) sulphide resources were defined based on their distinctive geometries, mineralization and preliminary metallurgical characteristics as tabulated below: .... - Web Site

STUART PETROLEUM

RECORD EARNINGS DRIVEN BY RECORD REVENUES

South Australian oil producer and explorer, Stuart Petroleum Limited (ASX Code: STU) today announced a record net profit after tax of $13.2 million for the year ended 30 June 2008, a 51% increase over the previous year.

Commenting on the result, the Managing Director of Stuart, Mr. Tino Guglielmo said, "Record net profit was driven by record oil sales revenues for the year of $60.2 million, a 55% increase over the previous year on production of 569,562 barrels of Cooper/Eromanga Basin light sweet crude oil.

"Earnings per share of 19.5 cents increased by 51% over the previous year. EBITDAX of $70.01 per barrel increased by 62% over the previous year. Cash flow remains strong and with production from existing reserves, provides a solid platform to capitalise on the Company's growth opportunities in the Timor Sea and the Gippsland Basin."

Stuart has farmed-in to a 50% interest in a development project in the offshore Timor Sea permit AC/P33. This permit contains the Oliver Oilfield with potential recoverable oil and condensate estimated at 9.6 million barrels (Stuart share of a Mean Joint Venture volume of 19.3 million barrels).

Stuart has also farmed-in to a 50% interest to explore Gippsland Basin Permit Vic- P53. Drilling will commence shortly on this permit with the Bazzard 1 well, which will target potential recoverable oil of 100 million barrels.

Production from its Cooper/Eromanga Basin oilfields will continue to provide Stuart with substantial cash flows.

Stuart is also progressing key commercial elements of its Port Bonython fuels project. This project is being developed jointly with the Scott Group of Companies and it is expected to begin supplying diesel fuel to the north and mid-north of South Australia from 2010.

Stuart's Cooper/Eromanga Basin Reserves totalled 2.6 million barrels at 30 June 2008, the same as the previous year end. Reserves additions from the Worrior 5 and Worrior 6 development drilling program plus the small discovery at Cleansweep 1 in PEL 100 offset production for the year. The reserves replacement ratio for the year was 101%.

As previously stated, the Company's share of liquids contained in the Oliver Oilfield in the Timor Sea amounts to 9.6 million barrels. Engineering studies leading to development of these liquids are underway. Development will likely comprise a number of sub-sea completions producing to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel similar to those in operation at the nearby Jabiru and Challis/Cassini fields.

The Company will pay an unchanged fully franked dividend of two (2) cents per share, payable on 19 September 2008 to shareholders of record on 10 September 2008.- Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street ended mixed Tuesday on light turnover as concerns about the path of Hurricane Gustav sent oil prices higher and offset a better-than-expected reading on consumer confidence. Comments from the Federal Reserve about rising inflation added to the market's uneasiness.

Industrial metals lost ground on Tuesday, with copper falling to its lowest level in almost a week as rising inventories and a firmer U.S. dollar dampened sentiment.

Germany faces a greater risk of a recession after business and consumer confidence slid further in Europe's biggest economy. The economy contracted 0.5 per cent in the three months to June and consumer confidence fell to a five-year low.

Gold rose as a gain in energy costs revived demand for the precious metal as a hedge against inflation. Silver also climbed.

Encouraging Kunche Metallurgical Results

Overall Gold Recovery Expected To Exceed 90% With Up To 40% Recoverable By Gravity

West African gold explorer Azumah Resources Limited (ASX: AZM) is pleased to announce results from the first stage of metallurgical test work being conducted on samples of primary (unoxidised) mineralisation from the Kunche resource at the Company's 100% owned Wa-Lawra Gold Project in Ghana.

Initial metallurgical results indicate that recoveries of over 90% should be obtained on typical resource-grade Kunche mineralisation using conventional gold processing technology comprising gravity separation followed by carbon-in-leach ("CIL").

Importantly, between 25% and 40% of the gold is likely to be recoverable using a preliminary gravity separation phase, which should impact favourably on bottom line operating costs.

The first stage of this laboratory scale test work was undertaken in Perth by independent metallurgical laboratory, AMDEL Ltd, on a blend of ore and marginal grade material grading approximately 1.0g/t gold. The test results returned a total gold recovery of 86.5% (grind size of 80% passing 75µm, final solid tail of 0.12 g/t Au), of which approximately 40% was recovered by gravity separation (Table 1). - Web Site

Vale Inco, a wholly owned Vale subsidiary, Oroya Mining Limited's farm-in and joint venture partner in the Roe Hills Nickel Project, has provided an update on the diamond drilling campaign which commenced in July 2008.

Drilling completed to date at the Talc Lake Prospect includes 5 NQ2 diamond tails for a total of 923.42m. No results have been received to date.

All holes have been cased with 50mm PVC for Down Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys which will be completed at the end of the program.

At the Roe 1 Prospect, 24 kilometres north of Talc Lake, moving Loop Transient Electromagnetic (MLTEM) surveying was conducted by Vale Inco's own geophysical crew. Two conductors were highlighted by MLTEM at the prospect, and preparations to drill these were immediately commenced.

Two pre-collars were completed to 152 metres and 127 metres, with planned total depths of 350m for both holes.

Drilling of the diamond tails will commence at Roe 1 this week. Drilling was interrupted by heavy rains in the last week of July, with all personnel being evacuated from site for about one week to allow the area to dry out and access roads to re- open. - Web Site

DRILLING REPORT - 26 August 2008

WELL NAME: Cobra 1A ST3, PNG

Oil Search reports that at 0600 on 26 August, the Cobra 1A ST3 well was at a total depth of 2,836 metres and preparations were underway to conduct a closed chamber Drill Stem Test (DST) over the upper Hedinia sandstone.

Since the last drilling report, a comprehensive formation evaluation programme has been completed over the upper Hedinia sandstone interval. While taking pressure measurements, a sample of formation fluid was recovered from near the top of the Hedinia Sandstone, which contains a significant proportion of oil. Further pressure measurements, however, have been unsuccessful in defining fluid gradients in the reservoir and the Joint Venture have agreed to carry out a DST of the interval with the objective of confirming fluid type and reservoir quality. The test will take place later this week

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

MAGNETITE-RICH ZONES AT W.A. PROJECT BOOST MAXIMUS' COMMERCIAL HOPES

The discovery of three thick magnetite-rich zones of iron mineralisation has fuelled confidence that the Canegrass project near Windimurra in Western Australia will yield a broad variety of valuable commercial opportunities.

In an announcement today, Adelaide-based Maximus Resources Limited (ASX: "MXR") said preliminary drilling programs totalling 7,000 metres had confirmed the presence of three magnetite-enriched zones that would now be the focus of closer- spaced reverse circulation drilling targeting 280-500 million tonnes of iron ore.

The new target, covering two areas of Block 3 at Canegrass, is in addition to a previously reported target of 1.7-3.0 billion tonnes of 20-35% magnetite for Maximus' principal Block 1 target. .... - Web Site

SABRETOOTH PROSPECT - DAVIS BINTLIFF #1
(Working Interest 12.5%, Net Revenue Interest 9%)

On the 24th of August at 0600 hours, the Davis Bintliff #1 well was at a measured depth (MD) of 14,495 feet and drilling ahead in 6 ½ inch hole towards the final (secondary) target.

The primary sandstone target was intersected at 14,338' MD. From the mudlog, the sandstone is approximately 70 feet thick and returned excellent gas shows over the entire 70 foot interval. This is suggestive that the entire sandstone may be productive from top to base. A 15 foot stringer sand at 14,260' also returned excellent gas shows. Electric logs will be the final determination of the productivity of these reservoirs and will be run after the secondary target has been penetrated.

The Davis Bintliff #1 well is located in Brazoria County, in Texas' onshore Gulf Coast producing region. The prospect was delineated by a comprehensive 3D seismic grid, which resulted in a significant off-setting gas/condensate discovery with an amplitude response identical to that observed at the Davis Bintliff #1. The proposed well has an estimated contingent recoverable volume of 25 Bcfe, in which Samson has a 12.5% working interest. - Web Site
