WALL STREET

Wall Street wrestled with intensifying economic worries Friday, initially extending sharp losses after a disheartening jobs report (the unemployment rate rose to a five-year high of 6.1 percent from 5.7 percent.) but then some mild bargain hunting gave the market some modest gains.
The major indexes ended the week with big declines, a sign that investors, who not long ago expected the economy to improve, are now growing increasingly discouraged.

Advancing issues narrowly outnumbered decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.91 billion shares compared with 5.11 billion shares traded Thursday.

Oil prices sank to a five-month low Friday as thr jump in the U.S. unemployment rate signaled to traders that Americans might keep paring back their energy use to save money.

For the week, the Dow lost 2.8 percent, its fourth straight week of losses and the biggest drop since late June. The S&P 500 gave up 3.2 percent and the technology-heavy Nasdaq, home to many stocks seen as riskier than the blue chips, fell 4.7 percent.

Copper tumbled, capping the biggest weekly drop since January 2007, as climbing stockpiles and slowing global growth signaled demand for the metal may decline.

COEUR REPORTS UPDATE ON SAN BARTOLOMÉ SILVER MINE: PRODUCTION RAMPING UP; PRODUCTION ESTIMATES CONFIRMED

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - September 4, 2008 - Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE, TSX:CDM, ASX:CXC) is pleased to report that output continues to increase at its San Bartolomé silver mine in Bolivia and expects the operation to achieve full capacity in the fourth quarter. For the year, Coeur anticipates the mine will produce 3.2 million ounces of silver and that it will achieve its 2009 production estimate of approximately 9 million silver ounces.

As of today, the processing facility has operated twelve days since the new bearings were installed for the ball mill without any unanticipated interruption. Daily silver production has steadily increased up to a current level of 15,000 ounces, which is expected to result in approximately 500,000 ounces of silver production during the month of September. Through the end of August, San Bartolomé produced approximately 390,000 ounces of silver year-to-date. Recoveries are now consistently achieving the planned levels of 70% to 80%, and head grades of 250 grams per tonne are in line with expectations. As previously announced, Coeur Senior Vice President Leon Hardy is heading up the operation as Interim General Manager.

Norton is offering four of its shares for every five Bellamel shares and applied to the ASX to have the shares admitted to quotation on ASX by lodging an Appendix 3B which was processed by ASX on 4 August 2008. The timing of lodgement gave rise to a legal technicality as announced on 28 August 2008.

Norton advises that it has obtained the orders sought in its application to the Supreme Court of Queensland to remedy the timing of lodgement.

Record 33.46 metres grading 5.30% nickel intersected at Lounge Lizard

Kagara Ltd is pleased to announce a record intersection of massive and semi massive nickel sulphides in hole LFPD18W2W1 at the Lounge Lizard deposit in West Australia. The intersection is comprised of three zones of massive sulphide with an aggregate drilled width of 33.46 metres within a 76.50 metre section. The intervening material is mineralised ultramafic granite and sedimentary rock units.

The intersection lies approximately 150 metres up dip of the previously announced indicated resource of 5.7 million tonnes at 1.08 % nickel which includes an indicated high grade resource of 263,000 tonnes at 6.42% nickel and approximately 60 metres south of the Western Areas tenement boundary in the T4 position (see attached sections).

A hand held Niton XRF estimate of the nickel grade based on spot sampling of the core on approximately 25 centimetre spacing has returned high grade intersections including 8.00 metres at 6.10% nickel from 828.00 metres and 7.40 metres at 8.90 % nickel from 885.00 metres. There are currently two rigs drilling on the Lounge Lizard tenement and this intersection is part of the 100 metre by 100 metre drilling program aimed at testing the remaining 1.3 kilometres of strike.

To Kagara's knowledge this intersection is the best in terms of contained nickel drilled either historically or in recent times in the Forrestania region and will result in a significant increase in the Lounge Lizard resource. - Web Site

LANFRANCHI - 2008/09 FORECAST TONNAGE ACCEPTED BY CUSTOMER

Panoramic Resources Limited (ASX Code:PAN) is pleased to announce that BHP Billiton Nickel West has formally accepted additional ore tonnage from the Lanfranchi Project in 2008/09 in excess of the contracted 350,000 tonnes per annum. Under the Ore Tolling and Concentrate Purchase Agreement (OTCPA) between BHP Billiton Nickel West and the Lanfranchi joint venture parties, BHP Billiton Nickel West has a first right to additional ore from the Lanfranchi Project resources.

Forecast production and deliveries from the Lanfranchi Project in 2008/09 is approximately 450,000 tonnes of ore which is a 60% increase on the tonnes delivered to Nickel West in the previous 12 months. The continuing increase in production highlights the quality of the resources at the Lanfranchi Project which supports Panoramic's stated group production target of 20,000t Ni per annum for the next 10 years.

Panoramic's preliminary group production forecast for the operations for 2008/09 is in the range of 20,500-21,500t Ni contained plus copper and cobalt credits (100% project basis), which would represent a 30-45% increase on 2007/08. This forecast is based on first Copernicus ore treated at the Savannah mill in October 2008 and commissioning of the new Deacon ventilDecember 2008. Panoramic's equity share of forecast production is in the range of 17,000-18,000t Ni contained. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Investors sent stocks plunging Thursday, hurtling the Dow Jones industrials down more than 340 points after retailers and the government added to a mountain of bad economic news and devastated hopes for a late-year recovery.

The Labor Department said new applications for unemployment insurance rose by 15,000 last week from the previous week. That broadly missed expectations for a fourth-straight week of declines, heightening worries that the average American -- already feeling the effects of the weak housing market -- will have even less means to spend.

Not even another drop in oil could console investors. After the government reported a lower-than-expected drop in U.S. gasoline and crude supplies, light sweet crude fell $1.46 to settle at $107.89 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Declining issues outpaced advancers by about 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 5.11 billion shares, up from 4.94 billion shares on Wednesday.

Lead erased earlier gains as the biggest jump in the US dollar in almost a month eroded the appeal of raw materials.

Gold fell for the fourth straight day as the euro weakened against the US dollar, eroding the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver was little changed.

Monto Minerals: managed wind down

Administrators of Monto Minerals Ltd (MOO), PricewaterhouseCoopers partners Ian Hall and David McEvoy have announced a managed wind down of the company's mining operations from Thursday 4 September 2008.

Deliveries of existing stockpiles are continuing and a skeleton staff is being retained for care and maintenance of the mining site and processing plants at Goodicum and Dakiel, located near the central Queensland town of Monto.

PricewaterhouseCoopers partner Ian Hall says, "It is in the best interests of the employees and creditors that we begin a managed wind down while we seek expressions of interest for the acquisition of the mining leases, plant and equipment and corporate shell."

"An information memorandum is currently being prepared that will specify what assets will be offered and we expect strong interest in Monto Minerals' assets either through an outright sale or Deed of Company Arrangement proposal."

The finalisation and payment of employee entitlements for workers who have been stood down will be a focus for the administrators.

PricewaterhouseCoopers partners Ian Hall and David McEvoy were appointed Administrators of Monto Minerals LTD (MOO) on 29 August 2008. - Web Site

WIDE HIGH GRADE GOLD HITS EXTEND THE BALDRIC AND CRISPIN ZONES, WILUNA
FURTHER HIGH GRADE HITS IN OTHER ZONES AHEAD OF RESOURCE ESTIMATE

Apex Minerals NL (ASX: AXM) is pleased to announce the discovery of significant extensions to the Baldric and Crispin zones at Wiluna. At Baldric, drilling has discovered wide high grade zones of gold mineralisation up to 80m up and down dip of previous drilling. At Crispin, drilling has also intersected a wide zone of mineralisation with visible gold.

Baldric

Drillhole CADH1100A, situated 80m up dip from all previous intersections in the Baldric and Henry5 Footwall zone has intersected:

Three holes, drilled 40m apart from one another and 70-80m down dip from the previous intersection of 9.65m @ 20.0g/t gold (est. 4.8m true width) in hole CADH815, have intersected:

These holes extend the Baldric zone to an overall dip extent of 450m and a strike extent of 300m (Figure 1). It is characterised by high grades and remains open in all directions. Drilling will continue to scope out the extent of this zone over the next few months. Detailed infill drilling will commence once the planned Henry5 decline has been established. This decline will also enable easy access for future development and mining. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street finished mixed in fickle trading Wednesday, with investors unsettled about the economy ahead of Friday's employment report and only somewhat relieved about falling commodities prices.

One reason for the market's muted reaction to oil's decline is because investors are realizing that crude has fallen partly because global demand growth is waning -- bad news not only for energy companies, but also for the technology and industrial sectors.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 8 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.94 billion shares, up from 4.67 billion shares on Tuesday.

Crude oil eased as Royal Dutch Shell Plc and ConocoPhillips said that Hurricane Gustav caused no damage to platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.

Copper rose the most in almost two weeks on speculation that a recent price slump will attract buyers anticipating demand from emerging economies.

Gold sank to a two-week low as the US dollar conrinued its climb against the euro.

European indexes fell after a European Union report showed falling exports and lower household spending caused the euro economy to shrink by 0.2 percent in the second quarter.

COPPER STRIKE

Resources Double on Chloe Jackson Trend

The intensive drill programme on the Chloe / Jackson trend in the first half of this year has finally born fruit with a 100% upgrade of the trend's resource inventory to 4.6 million tonnes containing 7% Zn/Pb/Cu and over 50g/t silver. Most of this resource is now in the Indicated category which means that it can be used for mine planning.

This is an important contribution to the Feasibility Study for the Einasleigh Project which will be completed in about two weeks. The plan at Einasleigh will be to start with opencut copper production from Kaiser Bill in 2010, followed by underground copper production from the high grade Einasleigh deposit in 2011, and then opencut zinc / lead production from Chloe / Jackson in 2012. Opencut zinc / lead production continues to be an important part of the whole mining schedule.

Updated three-dimensional models of all the Einasleigh area deposits can be accessed through the Copper Strike website www.copperstrike.com.au . This is a very easy and effective way of understanding the deposits in 3-D and is easy to do, although software such as JAVA may have to be downloaded (available for free from the website). - Web Site


CENTRAL PETROLEUM

030908 CBM93001 Report

Drilling : At 0600 this morning preparations were being made to cement in place an intermediate string of 7" casing at 705m near to the top of the Permian coal bearing Purni Formation. Background gas of c.6 units (560 ppm) maximum including c1 to c4 gases have been recorded to date in overlying sediments.

The well of approximately 1,200m Total Depth (TD) is expected to test a thick sequence of Permian coals updip from the Blamore 1 well recently plugged and abandoned due to engineering problems associated with hole sloughing about the Triassic Walkandi Formation and then failure of drill stem test tools to function. It is planned to conduct Drill Stem Tests for permeability measurements over any promising coal beds as well as to core the coals with a wireline retrievable coring system for CBM production analysis. Contingent plans have been made to complete the well as a potential producer.

CBM93001 is the second well in a planned 2008 seven well programme by Central Petroleum Limited (Central) and its Joint Venture Partners, Petroleum Exploration Australia Limited and He Nuclear Limited in 2008 targeting prospective Undiscovered Oil/Gas Initially in Place (UOIIP/UGIIP) at "high" estimate of 260 Mmbbls oil and 4.6 TCFG gas and up to 180 BCFG Helium in conventional reservoirs as well as representing the first phase of exploration for 34-70 TCFG in prospective recoverable Coal Bed Methane resources.

HORIZON OIL (HZN) ACQUIRES NEW EXPLORATION ACREAGE IN NEW ZEALAND

Horizon Oil is pleased to advise that it has acquired a 25% interest in Petroleum Exploration Permit 38494 in the southern Taranaki Basin, offshore New Zealand (see map), by way of a farm-in agreement with Todd Energy, who are operator for the permit. Under the terms of the farm-in, Horizon Oil will earn a 25% interest in the block by funding 37.5% of the first well to be drilled in the current permit term, probably on the Matariki prospect which is ready for drilling. The carry commitment will be capped at an agreed amount. It is intended that the well will be drilled after the completion of the Maari development drilling program and the Manaia appraisal well, around mid 2009, utilising the Ensco 107 jack-up rig, for which Todd Energy has acquired an option for a drilling slot. The drilling operation itself will benefit from the prior campaigns that will have been completed by the rig at Kupe, Momoho, Maari and Manaia...... - Web Site

ROSEBY COPPER PROJECT UPGRADE OF PLANT TO 5 MTPA IMPROVES PROJECT ECONOMICS

Universal Resources Limited ("URL" or the "Company") is pleased to report an upgrade of the Roseby Copper Project to a throughput of 5 million tonnes per annum (5Mtpa) following a review of the Project by GR Engineering Services (GRES), the company selected to build the plant on the basis of a guaranteed maximum price contract.

As a result of the upgrade, the Project is now expected to generate an average operating surplus of around $112 million per annum, an increase of 34.8% over the original DFS. Project NPV is estimated to increase by 11.3% to $355 million.

The purpose of the review was to determine:

GRES have concluded that, with minimal additional capital expenditure, the plant could be upgraded to a throughput of 5Mtpa utilising a blend of 60% soft native copper ores and 40% of harder sulphide ores, improving milling characteristics and significantly increasing copper production.

Results of the revised and upgraded operation are summarised in the following table...... - Web Site

STOKES BAY-1 WELL TESTING

The Company is pleased to announce that the Parties to the Retention Lease R1 and the EP 104 Permit have unanimously agreed to undertake further testing of the Stokes Bay-1 well that was drilled by the Joint Venture in 2007. This testing programme is planned to commence in late September 2008.

The testing will attempt to provide a positive test of the reservoir fluid and character and flow capacity of the cavernous reef system in the Nullara Formation encountered by the Stokes Bay-1 well. With large mud losses in the Stokes Bay-1 well, the reservoir potential and fluid character was not positively defined during the 2007 drilling program.

The test will consist of a number of incremental steps commencing with the circulation of fresh water with surfactant (foaming detergent) to remove the heavy muds in the tubing and reduce the pressure on the formation and attempt to induce flow. Once the results of this first operation have been obtained and reviewed, the next steps in the program will be confirmed.

Interpretation of the pressure data obtained during and after the drilling of the Stokes Bay-1 well, indicated a reservoir pressure of up to 140psi above the regional water gradient which could be indicative of a hydrocarbon column, although other interpretations are possible. This anomalous pressure is from a zone over 80 metres higher than a 0.134 mmcfd gas flow with some minor oil shows in Point Torment-1, 4.5 kms to the south east. This trend could also extend up to 3kms to the north west of the well where the Pinnacle Fault curves to the west. For the trap to be effective, the Nullara trend must also be stratigraphically trapped updip to the north east by either tight limestones or lagoonal shales. If there is closure of the cavernous trend around the well it is possibly in order of some 7 km2, based on current seismic mapping, but being a stratigraphic feature, it could extend over a much larger area.

There is drilled to date a 40 to 45 metre intersection of the Nullara limestone in Stokes Bay-1. Buru (the Operator) interprets this areal closure has the potential to be up to 17 km2..... - Web Site

KENTOR GOLD

Kentor Gold Intersects More High Grade Gold at Savoyardy

Savoyardy Drilling Update

Kentor Gold Ltd (ASX Code: KGL) has continued to encounter high grade gold intersects from the diamond drilling program at the Savoyardy gold project in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Further assay results have been received including 1.0m @ 21.4 g/t Au and 7.0m @ 6.3 g/t Au (terminated in mineralisation).

Hole SVD_DD_21 terminated in mineralisation as the limitation of the drill rig was reached at 102.4m.

The results listed in Table 1 are from recent surface drilling completed to the south of the main Savoyardy mineralisation (see Figure 1). The drill-hole intersections are up to 250 metres from the mineralisation identified in the underground adit developed during the 1970ís (ie 180m south and 170m above the level of the adit). This is the first drilling to be conducted to the south along the Rudny structure which is interpreted to extend for another 400 metres. An Induced-Polarisation geophysical program is planned over the area for this year to aid planning further drill-holes.

The drill rigs on site have now completed twenty-eight holes of a planned forty-three hole program. - Web Site

RIO TINTO

Rio Tinto signs further joint venture agreements with CODELCO for copper exploration in Chile

Rio Tinto has signed two exploration joint venture agreements with CODELCO's 100% owned subsidiary, CCM Los Andes, in Chile. These agreements follow the first exploration joint venture agreement signed between Rio Tinto and CODELCO in January 2008. CODELCO is the world's largest copper producer.

The new properties to be explored are the Esteli and Paloma prospects in northern Chile. The Esteli property adjoins the Exploradora property, which was subject to the first joint venture agreement between Rio Tinto and CODELCO, while the Paloma property is located close to the copper mines at Spence and El Tesoro. An exploration drilling programme is currently underway at Exploradora and will be followed by drilling at Paloma this year.

Rio Tinto has the option to earn a 55 per cent interest in each prospect through stand alone exploration investments of US$20 million. The agreements include provisions to increase Rio Tinto's ownership to 60 per cent. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street succumbed to its ongoing angst Tuesday, giving up a sharp advance and turning moderately lower after falling oil prices (the Gulf Coast and its oil facilities were spared heavy damage from Hurricane Gustav) failed to calm the market's nervousness about the economy and the financial sector.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners, however, by about 8 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.67 billion shares, up from the very light 3.14 billion on Friday.

Falling commodities prices caused the stocks of oil and metals companies to sink, dragging on the broader market, and the technology sector was also weak.

Copper tumbled to a seven-month low as the US dollar's rally and plunging energy prices curbed demand for commodities as a hedge against inflation. Gold, silver, platinum and palladium all tumbled.

Drilling : At 0600 this morning the well had been drilled to 705m with preliminary wellsite interpretation putting the top of the Permian Purni target formation for Coal Bed Methane (CBM) evaluation at 696m.Preparations were being made to drill set an intermediate string of 7" casing at 705m.

The well of approximately 1,200m Total Depth (TD) is expected to test a thick sequence of Permian coals updip from the Blamore 1 well recently plugged and abandoned due to engineering problems associated with hole sloughing about the Triassic Walkandi Formation and then failure of drill stem test tools to function. It is planned to conduct Drill Stem Tests for permeability measurements over any promising coal beds as well as to core the coals with a wireline retrievable coring system for CBM production analysis. Contingent plans have been made to complete the well as a potential producer.

CBM93001 is the second well in a planned 2008 seven well programme by Central Petroleum Limited (Central) and its Joint Venture Partners, Petroleum Exploration Australia Limited and He Nuclear Limited in 2008 targeting prospective Undiscovered Oil/Gas Initially in Place (UOIIP/UGIIP) at "high" estimate of 260 Mmbbls oil and 4.6 TCFG gas and up to 180 BCFG Helium in conventional reservoirs as well as representing the first phase of exploration for 34-70 TCFG in prospective recoverable Coal Bed Methane resources.

Progress Report Resource Upgrade

MARATHON'S NEW RESOURCE UPGRADE FOR MT GEE URANIUM PROJECT IN S.A.

Marathon Resources Limited (ASX: MTN) today announced a further upgrade in the resource estimate for its Mt Gee uranium deposit which is part of the uranium-rich Paralana Mineral System within EL3258 in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia.

This is the second resource upgrade this year for the Mt Gee uranium project.

Highlights

The latest revised resource estimate - which includes latest assay results from Marathon's most recent drilling program at Mt Gee - is based on an independent assessment of the resource prepared by Tony Marshall of SMG Consultants Pty Ltd ("SMGC"). SMGC previously completed a resource estimate on the Mt Gee deposit in June 2008. - Web Site

WESTERN AREAS

MINERAL RESOURCE DOUBLES AT SPOTTED QUOLL-7.2% NICKEL GRADE

The Board of Western Areas is pleased to announce a 118% increase in the high grade mineral resource at Spotted Quoll. The revised mineral resource estimate at Spotted Quoll now comprises a total 1,045,900 tonnes at an average grade of 7.2% nickel for 75,140 tonnes contained nickel to only 300m vertical depth. The majority of the mineral resource (88%) is in the high confidence Indicated Mineral Resource category (Table 1).

This excellent result confirms the potential for a major underground mine below the proposed open pit. Western Areas is already considering early development of an underground mine which could produce ore concurrently with the latter stages of the open pit. In this event, production could significantly exceed the target 8,000 tpa nickel from Spotted Quoll.

A mining proposal for the Spotted Quoll open pit has been lodged and, assuming this is approved by the end of 2008, ore production is expected to commence in the Sept Q 2009. ...... - Web Site

EDEN ENERGY

AUSTRALIAN COMPANY PAVES THE WAY FOR AN ENERGY REVOLUTION IN WALES

Diversified Australian explorer, Eden Energy Limited (ASX: "EDE"), has opened the door for a new energy supply industry in the coal-rich valleys of South Wales (UK), with the announcement of the first-ever resource estimate from drilling for coal seam methane.

Perth-based Eden today announced a prospective recoverable resource estimate of 380-670 petajoules (equivalent to approximately 380 to 670 Bcf) of coal seam methane (CSM) from the Company's maiden drilling on its PEDL 100 licence area.

Eden has earned a 50% interest in PEDL 100 - a 237km² licence area representing less than a quarter of the highly prospective gas blocks held by the Company in South Wales.

The dedicated CSM drilling is the first by any company on the historic South Wales coal field that created one of Europe's richest historic coal supplies, powering Britain's industrial and maritime expansion through much of the 19th and 20th centuries.... - Web Site

Appointment of Voluntary Administrators

The Board of Directors of Monto Minerals Limited has appointed Ian Hall and David McEvoy of PricewaterhouseCoopers as Administrator of the Company effective immediately.

Directors took that action following a detailed review of the Company's Goondicum Industrial Minerals Project. That review was undertaken to determine the future of the operation, and included the identification of the project's limiting factors and how they might be overcome in order to achieve an acceptable return, the potential expansion of processing capacity and the additional funding requirements.

The project, which commenced production in October 2007, has not reached the production targets for Stage 1 despite actions taken to improve plant availability and production rates...... - Web Site

Petsec Energy gas fields shut in ahead of Hurricane Gustav

Petsec Energy advises that all of the company's offshore gas fields except the Mobile Bay 900 series wells have been shut-in and all offshore personnel evacuated ahead of the approaching Hurricane Gustav.

The Hurricane is expected to pass through the Gulf of Mexico shelf as a Category 3 Storm and come ashore approximately 90 kilometres (56 miles) south west of New Orleans early Tuesday morning (Eastern Australian Time).

Petsec Energy's six offshore oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico are currently not in the direct path of Hurricane Gustav. The Company's Chandeleur, Main Pass, Mobile Bay platforms are located to the east and north east of New Orleans and the Vermilion 258 platform is located over 200km to the west of Gustav's current path towards the Louisiana coast. A workover rig remains on location at the company's Laurent No1 well onshore Louisiana.- Web Site

SAMSON OIL & GAS LIMITED LOGS SUBSTANTIAL NET PAY IN SABRETOOTH

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

Samson Oil & Gas Limited (AMEX: SSN /ASX: SSN) announced today that on the 29th of August at 0600 hours, the Davis Bintliff #1 well reached a total depth of 14,952 feet and was then open-hole logged. The results of the electric logs were very positive having recorded approximately 55 net feet of gas saturated sandstone which was consistent with the mudlog shows occurring over the same interval (14,273' to 14,277' and 14,344' to 14,408' measured depth). Currently, operations are underway to run and cement casing in the 6½" hole before Hurricane Gustav hits the Texas/Louisiana Gulf Coast region. Based on current operations scheduling and the expected progress of Hurricane Gustav, it is expected that operations using the drilling rig will be complete before Gustav arrives in the region. Following the passing of the storm, crews will complete the well by perforating the casing and productive formation, to allow the hydrocarbons in the sandstone to enter the wellbore and be produced commercially at the surface.

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. - Web Site

PEP 168 East Wing-1 ST - Testing Program Commences

Essential Petroleum Resources Limited (ASX: EPR) advises that down-hole operations for the cased hole test of the East Wing-1 ST (sidetrack) well in PEP 168, Otway Basin Victoria will commence today. Equipment mobilised over the weekend is being assembled on-site, and the first operation will be to run a cement bond log (CBL). It is anticipated that tubing, wellhead & perforation operations will require two or three days with the flow tests then occurring toward the end of the week. Essential Petroleum advises that work is being carried out in daylight hours only. The testing program will target the hydrocarbon bearing zones in the Flaxman and Waarre formations. EPR will report significant results as they come to hand.

As reported to the ASX in June 2008, the East Wing -1 ST well was cased and suspended as a gas discovery well with the possibility of a liquid rich zone below the overlying gas zones.

The full assessment of the gas and liquid potential of the East Wing discovery is expected to drive Essential Petroleum's future exploration program in this region of the onshore Otway Basin. - Web Site

CB93001 Drilling Report

Drilling : At 0600 this morning the well had been drilled to 280m in the Winton Formation and preparations were being made to drill ahead after setting 9 5/8" casing.

The well of approximately 1,200m Total Depth (TD) is expected to test a thick sequence of Permian coals updip from the Blamore 1 well recently plugged and abandoned due to engineering problems associated with hole sloughing about the Triassic Walkandi Formation and then failure of drill stem test tools to function. It is planned to conduct Drill Stem Tests for permeability measurements over any promising coal beds as well as to core the coals with a wireline retrievable coring system for CBM production analysis. Contingent plans have been made to complete the well as a potential producer.

CBM93001 is the second well in a planned 2008 seven well programme by Central Petroleum Limited (Central) and its Joint Venture Partners, Petroleum Exploration Australia Limited and He Nuclear Limited in 2008 targeting prospective Undiscovered Oil/Gas Initially in Place (UOIIP/UGIIP) at "high" estimate of 260 Mmbbls oil and 4.6 TCFG gas and up to 180 BCFG Helium in conventional reservoirs as well as representing the first phase of exploration for 34-70 TCFG in prospective recoverable Coal Bed Methane resources.
