WALL STREET

Wall Street capped one of its worst weeks ever with a wild session Friday that saw the Dow Jones industrials gyrate within a 1,000 point range before closing with a relatively mild loss and the Nasdaq composite index actually ending with a modest advance. Investors were still agonizing over frozen credit markets, but seven days of massive losses and the possibility of further government support for the markets tempted some investors late in the session.

Some investors may have been placing bets ahead of the weekend meeting of officials from the Group of Seven nations, who gathered in Washington to discuss the economic meltdown. One of the potential remedies expected to be reviewed at the meeting is for governments to guarantee lending among banks.

Decliners led advancers 2-to-1 on the New York Stock Exhange, where consolidated volume came to a record 11.2 billion shares, compared with 8.14 billion traded Thursday.

The latest loss also means the Dow is down 40.3 percent since reaching a record high close of 14,164.53 a year ago, on Oct. 9, 2007. The S&P 500, which reached its high of 1,565.15 the same day, is down 42.5 percent.

The Dow lost 1,874.19 points, or 18.2 percent, during the week. Its dismal performance outdid the week that ended July 22, 1933, which saw a 17 percent drop -- and back then, during the Great Depression, there were six trading days in a week.

The 18.2 percent drop for the week was the S&P's steepest decline since the week ending May 21, 1933. For the week, the Nasdaq lost 297.88, or 15.3 percent.

Most major central banks around the world slashed interest rates this week after continuing problems in the credit market triggered concerns that banks will run out of money.

A stream of selling forced exchanges in Austria, Russia and Indonesia to suspend trading, and those that remained opened were hammered.

European stocks sank Friday, with Britain's FTSE-100 falling 8.85 percent, German's DAX declining 7.01 percent, and France's CAC-40 ending down 7.73 percent. In Asia, the collapse of Japan's Yamato Life Insurance caused already nervous investors to pull even more money out of the market -- the Nikkei 225 fell 9.6 percent.

Crude oil fell below $78 for the first time in a year and copper capped its biggest weekly drop in more than two decades on concern that the deepening financial crisis will push the global economy into a recession. Other metals dropped more than six percent, analysts said.

Gold and silver plummeted Friday after Wall Street posted another big loss and forced investors to dump holdings in precious metals to raise badly needed cash.

091008 Simpson 1 Drilling Report Central Petroleum Limited (Central - ASX ticker CTP), Rawson Resources Limited (ASX ticker RAW) and Petroleum Exploration Limited (PXA unlisted) Joint Venture 190 MMbbls ("high" estimate UOIIP)

The well is targeting Undiscovered Oil Initially In Place of up to 190 MMbbls ("high" estimate UOIIP) in the Jurassic Algebuckina and Poolowanna Formations and the Permian Tirrawarra Formation. Depending on depths encountered, it is possible the total depth of the well may test the top of the transgressive sand and shale C horizon of the Devonian carbonate platform play.

Drilling : As at 0600 today, the well had reached a current depth of 1072m in the ?Bulldog Shale, predominantly claystone. The operation was delayed approximately 7 hours overnight due to drilling pipe washouts (leakages) developing requiring the drilling pipe to be pulled from the hole and defective pipe being replace. The wellsite interpreted top of the Bulldog Shale was 705m which was 225m high to prognosis so casing was set higher than planned to enable a full logging suite of the first target zones within the Algebuckina and perhaps Cadna-owie Formations. Background gas of c.2 units has been recorded since drilling out the casing shoe. 30 units (100 ppm to 1 unit. C1 90-99 % and C2 1-9%) of background gas were recorded in the interval from 630-804m with peaks up to 130 units in minor sandstones towards the base of the Bulldog interval drilled thus far. No further sandstones have been encountered since drilling ahead from the casing shoe to a depth of 1072m. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks plunged in the final minutes of trading Thursday, sending the Dow Jones industrials down more than 675 points, or more than 7 percent, to their lowest level in five years after a major credit ratings agency said it was considering cutting its rating on General Motors Corp. The Standard & Poor's 500 index also fell more than 7 percent. The declines came on the anniversary of the closing highs of the Dow and the S&P. The Dow has lost 5,585 points, or 39 percent, since closing at 14,198 a year ago. The S&P 500, meanwhile, is off 655 points, or 41.9 percent, since recording its high of 1,565.15.

Trading volume on the NYSE came to 2.04 billion shares, slightly down on yesterday's volume.

Oil prices fell to near 12-month lows below $85 on Thursday as a wider market slide stirred demand concerns and outweighed calls by some OPEC members to cut output to prop up prices.

Copper and aluminium rose as more central banks reduced borrowing costs, easing concern that the credit crunch will stifle economic expansion and reduce commodity demand.

Nickel fell in London, trading near a three-year low on the London Metal Exchange, as a surplus of the metal used to make stainless steel signaled increased supplies.

Gold futures closed with a $20-an-ounce loss Thursday in New York as strength in the U.S. dollar and profit-taking prompted the precious metal to suffer its first loss in four trading sessions. Gold prices then rallied in electronic trading on Globex Thursday evening, after U.S. stocks spiraled to fresh five-year lows.

TIGERCAT-1 DRILLING UPDATE, GROWLER-4 COMPLETION

Impress Energy announces the following update on the Tigercat-1 exploration well in PEL 104.

Operations last 24 hrs Drilled 8.5 inch hole from 1110 metres to 1398 metres
Current Operations (06:00am CST) Drilling Ahead

The Growler Field is now producing 800 BOPD. Field production will be increased to approximately 1000 BOPD by the end of October when Growler-1 (120 BOPD) is brought back on line and Growler-4 is tied in to the main production facility. In this regard the well has been successfully completed as an oil well and flowed at an estimated rate of 240 BOPD on clean up flow after being perforated. The well was still cleaning up when shut in for pressure buildup data. The well will initially be free flowed to the production facility but a pump to maintain rates will be installed.

In respect of the ongoing work at Growler, Impress Chairman Eddie Smith said:

"We are very pleased with the rapid progress the Operator, Victoria Petroleum, is making toward getting the field on full production to provide Impress with vital cash flow in these constrained times. It is to be noted that despite the recent fall in world oil prices, the corresponding fall in the value of the Australian dollar means that our budget predictions regarding income from Growler oil sales will not be adversely affected. We also are looking forward to further success in the wildcat drilling program following the discovery of oil at Warhawk-1 in PEL 111". - Web Site

Drilling Report (Shakal-1). 9 October 2008

Oil Search reports that the Shakal-1 well commenced drilling on 4 October. As at 0600 Iraqi time (-7 hrs AEST) on 8 October, the well was at a depth of 21 metres and drilling ahead in a 30" hole.

The Shakal-1 prospect is targeting a large sub-thrust anticline. The primary objectives of the well are Tertiary and Cretaceous reservoirs similar to those in nearby discoveries. The planned total depth of the well is 3,350 metres and it is expected to take approximately 60 days to drill.

In line with Kurdistan Regional Government requirements, Shakal-1 is being drilled as a tight hole. As such, no further releases will be made unless there is a material or share price sensitive outcome.- Web Site

RESOLUTE

Fund Raising Activities

Resolute Mining is pleased to advise that it is now finalising its funding requirements to complete the re-development and ramp up of Syama and maintain its other development activities. The funding required for this important work is $50-$60m.

The Company wishes to announce a 1 for 3 renounceable rights issue at 55¢ to raise up to $51m. Patersons Securities Limited has been appointed as lead manager to the rights issue and to facilitate subscriptions for any shortfall to the rights issue to complete the balance of the Company's funding requirements. Please find attached an Appendix 3B for this issue.

The Syama Project is scheduled to pour its first gold during this month from oxide material as production commences ahead of the completion and commissioning of the of the sulphide circuit expected in the December/January period.

Group forecast production for financial year 2009 is 400,000 ozs at a cash cost of A$700. At current record gold prices of around A$1,300 per ounce, this implies a very healthy prospective gross operating margin and a positive impact on the intrinsic value of the Company.

The Company advises that it has drawn $10m of the $20m unsecured standby facility and has received these funds. The debt provider has the option to convert the amounts owing under the facility into Resolute Mining convertible bonds based on market terms at the time.

MOUNT GIBSON IRON

Iron Ore Sales Outlook and Federal Enviornmental Approval

Iron Ore Sales Outlook

Mount Gibson Iron Limited (Mount Gibson) production and sales performance for the first quarter of the financial year was very strong with 1.432 Mt being shipped comprising 712 kt of Lump and 720 kt of Fine ore. Mount Gibson has however received requests from a number of its customers to delay hematite ore shipments scheduled for the second quarter of the financial year.

Mount Gibson has no obligation to agree to any of the relevant customers' requests. In this regard, each customer has entered into binding long term ore sales agreements and is contractually obligated to take delivery of the shipments allocated to it in the second quarter.

Customer and iron ore sector analysis indicates a slow down in demand for iron ore in China due to current economic uncertainty and the tightening of credit facilities, leading to reductions in steel production and the current significant build-up of iron ore stockpiles at Chinese ports.

Mount Gibson will endeavour to reach an acceptable accommodation in respect of its long term shipping schedules with its contracted customers and take the necessary steps to minimise any disruption that may result to operations. Mount Gibson is well placed to modify operational objectives, project objectives, associated expenditure and production targets should this be required and will advise the market as to the possible impact on it operations once discussions with customers are more advanced.

Final Commonwealth Environmental Approval - Extension Hill DSO Project

Mount Gibson is pleased to announce it has received final Environmental Approval of Management Plans for its Extension Hill DSO Project from the Federal Government's Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. Federal approval of Management Plans was the final environmental approval required prior to the commencement of ground disturbing activities at the Extension Hill DSO Project. - Web Site

WALL STREET

A stock market empowered by an emergency 0.5% interest rate cut tried to find some stability Wednesday, rallying several times before another late-day drop left Wall Street down for the sixth straight day. Still, the pullback, while fed by comments from Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, was milder than the massive declines of earlier in the week.

Trading was erratic right from the opening bell, after the Federal Reserve and other leading central banks cut rates in the hope that credit markets would soon relax and that banks would begin lending more freely to businesses and consumers. The Fed lowered the target for its federal funds rate by a half-point to 1.5 percent from 2 percent, saying in a statement that the turmoil in financial markets posed a further threat to an already shaky economy; it was joined in the rate cut by the European Central Bank, Bank of England, The Bank of Canada, the Swedish Riksbank and the Swiss National Bank.

Declining issues outpaced advancers on the New York Stock Exchange by about 3 to 1, while consolidated volume came to a very heavy 8.54 billion shares, compared with 6.84 billion traded Tuesday.

European indexes had a short-lived bounce after the rate cut. In Britain, the FTSE-100 ended down 5.18 percent, Germany's DAX dropped 5.88 percent, and France's CAC-40 dropped 6.31 percent.

In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 closed 9.38 percent lower and Hong Kong's Hang Seng tumbled 8.17 percent hours before the rate cuts were announced; their declines showed the extent of the worldwide gloom. And Russia's two main stock exchanges were suspended because of a massive sell-off right after their openings.

Crude oil was little changed after falling to the lowest in 10 months yesterday as the global economic crisis curbed demand and the U.S. government reported a bigger-than-expected gain in crude and gasoline inventories.

Copper tumbled to the lowest price since March 2006 on concern that a coordinated reduction in interest rates in the U.S. and Europe won't be enough to restore investor confidence and revive economic growth. Most other metals fell.

Gold soared to above US$900 per ounce, a sign the deepening global credit seizure is driving investors into a haven that is more easily converted into cash. Silver also rose.

AURORA OIL & GAS

UPDATE ON OPERATIONS AT SUGARLOAF JOINT VENTURE

Aurora Oil & Gas ("Aurora") is pleased to provide the market with an update on operations 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 at 06:00hrs on the 08/10/08 (US CST) the well had reached a measured depth of 16,178 ft, which equates to approximately 4,350 ft of horizontal section within the Austin Chalk.

The well has continued to produce gas whilst drilling, with regular intervals producing strong flares with back pressure on the well. The rig has consistently measured gas readings in excess of 2,000 units.

Whilst encouraging the commercial significance of these gas shows and flares will not be known until the well has been flow tested.

The horizontal section is targeting the upper pay interval that has been reported as successfully producing gas and condensate in three wells in the adjacent acreage.

Kennedy #1H

TCEI have also reported that commercial production commenced at Kennedy #1H at initial rates of 0.2 million standard cubic feet per day and 60 barrels of condensate per day on the 02/10/08 (US CST). This initial Kennedy production comes from a fracture stimulated zone of approximately 600ft in the bottom of the 4,000 ft horizontal section of the well drilled through a lower stratigraphic level to that currently being drilled at Kowalik #1H. To our knowledge this represents the first production from this level within the Sugarkane Field. - Web Site

STOKES BAY 1 WELL TESTING

The Company has been advised by the Operator that equipment and crew are currently being mobilised to the Stokes Bay 1 well location to complete road works that will enable testing of the cavernous reef system intersected in the well in 2007.

Final technical work on the testing program concluded that Nitrogen is the best fluid to reduce the pressure on the formation in an effort to induce a flow and replace the surfactant previously proposed to be circulated in the well with fresh water.

Stokes Bay 1 testing to date has not recovered any formation fluids from the Nullara Formation and this test programme is designed to determine whether hydrocarbons are present and the extent of the reservoir.

Based on the completion of the road works and the availability of the Nitrogen equipment, testing on the well is now expected to occur in October 2008. Once the results of this operation have been obtained and reviewed, the next steps in the program will be considered by the Parties to the Joint Venture. - Web Site

CENTRAL PETROLEUM

071008 Simpson 1 Drilling Report Central Petroleum Limited (Central - ASX ticker CTP), Rawson Resources Limited (RAW) and Petroleum Exploration Limited (PXA unlisted) Joint Venture 190 MMbbls ("high" estimate UOIIP)

The well is targeting Undiscovered Oil Initially In Place of up to 190 MMbbls ("high" estimate UOIIP) in the Jurassic Algebuckina and Poolowanna Formations and the Permian Tirrawarra Formation. Depending on depths encountered, it is possible the total depth of the well may test the top of the transgressive sand and shale C horizon of the Devonian carbonate platform play.

Drilling : As at 0600 today, 9 and 5/8" casing had been set and cemented and preparations were being made to drill ahead. The well had reached a current depth of 804m in the ?Bulldog Shale, predominantly claystone with minor stringers of sandstone. The wellsite interpreted top of the Bulldog Shale was 705m which was 225m high to prognosis so casing was set higher than planned to enable a full logging suite of the first target zones within the Algebuckina and perhaps Cadna-owie Formations. Background gas of 2-30 units (100 ppm to 1 unit) with C1 90-99 % and C2 1-9% were recorded in the interval from 630-804m with peaks up to 130 units in minor sandstones towards the base of the Bulldog interval drilled thus far. Although no definitive conclusions can be reached about this data, certainly the gas levels recorded in this well are much higher than in the same intervals at Blamore 1. The interpreted formation tops coming in higher than anticipated is an interesting development. - Web Site

NSE-B1 Development Well (CVN 40%)

The NSE-B1 development well has been drilled to a total depth of approximately 713 metres TVD (true vertical depth) at a subsurface location approximately 100 metres south of the NSEB drilling pad, structurally located across a large fault at the ultimate crest of the NSE central fault compartment. Approximately 87 metres of total volcanic section was drilled.

The well has tested at a stabilised rate of 2,650 bopd. Upon completion of the drilling of NSEB1, the rig was re-located to the NSE-D1 drilling location (see below).

NSE-A4 Development Well (CVN 40%)

The NSE-A4 development well has been drilled to a total depth of 787 metres TVD after penetrating the top of the target volcanic reservoir at 730 metres TVD. Mud losses were encountered while drilling, indicating extensive fracturing in the volcanic reservoir. Flow testing will commence once the well is drilled to total depth. Testing results will be announced at completion of operations. On completion of drilling at NSE-A4, the rig will be moved to the NSE-C1 appraisal well location (see below).

NSE-D1 Development Well (CVN 40%)

The NSE-D1 development well, located approximately 455 metres north of the NSE-B drill pad, is currently drilling ahead at a depth of 645 metres TVD..... - Web Site

MINCOR DISCOVERS MAJOR EXTENSION TO MIITEL NICKEL ORE SYSTEM
Burnett Shoot Intersected in Step-out Hole 600 metres Beyond Previous Drilling

Australian nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) has achieved a milestone in its aggressive Kambalda nickel exploration strategy, today announcing the discovery of a major extension to the ore system of the highly productive Miitel Nickel Mine - its original Kambalda nickel operation.

Mincor said today (Wednesday) that a step-out hole located nearly 600 metres beyond previous drilling had intersected strong, wide nickel mineralisation in a channel structure interpreted to be the strike continuation of the Burnett Shoot at North Miitel. Drill hole MDD170W1, one of a series of surface holes drilled to test for an extension to the Burnett Shoot, intersected the following:

MDD170W1: 8.72 metres @ 2.74% nickel (true width 5.58 metres) from 751 metres down-hole, including: 5.30 metres @ 3.42% nickel (true width 3.39 metres)

Significantly, the intersection comprises a well-developed "Kambalda Profile" with a narrow zone of high-tenor massive sulphides grading 13.15% nickel lying directly on the basal contact, overlain by matrix and then disseminated sulphides. The presence of massive sulphides, albeit only 30cm in down-hole width, is an important indicator of the strength of the ore system... - Web Site

Tindalo-1 Spud Continues Nido's Exploration Program

Nido Petroleum Limited (Nido) and its Joint Venture partner, Kairiki Energy Limited (Kairiki), are pleased to announce that the Tindalo-1 exploration well in Service Contract 54 (SC54) commenced drilling at 21:00 hours on Friday, 3 October 2008.

Tindalo-1 is located five and a half kilometres northeast of the SC54 Joint Venture's Yakal-1 discovery well which encountered a 78 to 93 metre gross oil column in the Nido Formation carbonate reservoir. Tindalo-1 well is targeting the same reservoir that was oil-bearing at Yakal-1 and is expected to take approximately three weeks to drill. If successful, Tindalo-1 will be capped and prepared for completion pending a future extended well test. After drilling Tindalo-1, the WilBoss jack-up drill rig will be demobilised from SC54 and released.

As of the date of the last report on the drilling program, the drilling rig was under tow to the Tindalo-1 location.

WALL STREET

The misery worsened on Wall Street Tuesday, with stocks piling on losses late in the session and bringing the two-day decline in the Dow Jones industrials to more than 875 points amid escalating worries about credit markets and the financial sector.

The Dow lost more than 500 points and all the major indexes slid more than 5 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 index saw its first close below 1,000 in five years.

About 2,800 stocks declined on the New York Stock Exchange, while fewer than 400 advanced. Volume came to 1.73 billion shares, slightly down on yesterday's volume.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned in a speech Tuesday that the financial crisis could prolong the difficulty the economy is facing.

The Federal Reserve moved swiftly to break through a credit clog that is imperiling the economy, saying Tuesday it would buy massive amounts of short-term debt and hinting that it may cut interest rates.

Oil prices rebounded after plunging Monday to an eight-month low on concerns a global recession will undermine demand for crude.

Copper rebounded from a 30-month low as the Federal Reserve took emergency action to ease credit markets, spurring speculation economic growth will be revived.

Gold rose for the second straight day on speculation that central banks will cut borrowing costs to ease a credit crunch, boosting demand for the metal as an alternative asset. Silver also gained.

Yesterday the Reserve Bank of Australia signalled it will do whatever it takes to keep the Australian economy from sliding into a global recession, delivering a massive one percentage point cut in interest rates to 6.0%.

Frome 12 Drilling Progress Update

Geothermal Resources Limited (Geothermal Resources – ASX : GHT) advises that Frome 12 is drilling ahead at 550 metres depth.

PQ size casing (114 mm diameter) was run to 155.8 metres depth to case off poorly consolidated Tertiary age sands and clays. HQ size coring (96 mm diameter) is now progressing smoothly in near horizontally bedded Brachina Formation dolomitic siltstones and shales as predicted. Temperatures recorded by a moderately accurate downhole survey instrument accord with expectations.

The diamond drilling requires a reliable and continuous supply of water for mixing muds and to replenish any fluid losses downhole. Owing to the arid climate and lack of surface water, a water bore was completed 100m away from Frome 12 just prior to commencement of drilling. This water bore is supplying all drilling water requirements, obviating the need for trucking water long distances.

Frome 12 has a planned depth of 1800 metres and it is expected that the hole will be completed in about five weeks, barring any unforeseen problems. The bottom of hole temperature in Frome 12 will provide the critical scientific evidence required to make the decision whether to drill a large diameter production hole into the potential geothermal reservoir at 3-4 km depth..... - Web Site

ASHBURTON MINERALS

VISIBLE COPPER MINERALISATION IN DRILL SAMPLES FROM POKALI

Ashburton is pleased to announce that the first drill hole completed at the Pokali area intersected 120 m of sulphide mineralisation with visible estimates of up to 10% chalcopyrite.

Drill hole PKC001 was drilled through the Pokali South zone where surface rock chip samples returned up to 13% Cu and up to 19 g/t Au from a zone up to 100 m in width and seen to extend for over 1 km in outcrop.

This intercept extends from 85 m to the end of the hole at 205 m, at which point the hole ended due to a lack of rods. The last 26 m were strongly mineralised with pervasive silica and magnetite alteration and sulphides (chalcopyrite and pyrite) content estimated at between 2%-10%.

A number of other intervals containing copper mineralisation were recorded higher in the hole. The host rock to the mineralisation is a fine grained, sheared intermediate volcanic rock, displaying an alteration assemblage of magnetite, silica, K-feldspar and chlorite. The samples from this hole are en route to Perth with assay results expected in around two week's time. ... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street joined in a worldwide cascade of despair Monday over the financial crisis, driving the Dow Jones industrials to their biggest loss ever during a trading day. Even a big afternoon rally failed to keep the Dow from its first close below 10,000 since 2004.

At its worst point, the Dow was down more than 800 points, an intraday record. The stock market rallied during the final 90 minutes of the trading day, and the Dow finished down about 370 points at 9,955.50.

The global plunge in stocks was under way well before Wall Street ever woke up. In Japan, the Nikkei average lost more than 4 percent. And then the losses spread across Europe -- nearly 6 percent for the FTSE-100 in Britain, 7 percent for the German DAX and more than 9 percent for France's CAC-40.

Over the weekend, governments across Europe rushed to prop up failing banks, while the governments of Germany, Ireland and Greece also said they would guarantee bank deposits. U.S. investors appeared worried the bailout would not be enough to jump-start the economy.

Oil dropped more than 6 percent to below $88 a barrel on Monday as a global market rout churned concerns that faltering fuel demand could slow further.

Copper tumbled the most in more than a year to the lowest price since February 2007 on concern that the deepening credit crisis will stifle global growth and reduce metals demand.

Gold rose the most in two weeks on demand for a haven as the credit crisis deepened in Europe.

The Australian dollar has fallen sharply to a four-year low below US70 cents amid a rout in global stock markets. The Australian dollar has fallen as much as 29 per cent since mid-July, when it touched a 25-year peak of US98.49c - Web Site

GIPPSLAND LIMITED

SUCCESSFUL PLACING OF SHARES

Gippsland Limited, the dual ASX and AIM listed company (code "GIP") developing the 44.5 million tonne Abu Dabbab and the 98 million tonne Nuweibi tantalum projects, today announces that it has completed a placing of 17,080,000 fully paid ordinary shares ("Placing Shares") to UK institutional investors and Australian investors at a price of 2.5 pence (approximately 5.73 Australian cents) per ordinary share ("Placing"). The Placing, undertaken by the Company's UK broker Fox-Davies Capital Limited, raised the sum of UK£427,000 (approximately A$978,500) before costs.

The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with all existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and the Australian Stock Exchange with trading expected to commence on 9 October 2008. The total number of ordinary shares on issue following admission will be 323,434,325.

The funds raised under the Placing will be used for working capital purposes and for the further development of the Company's 44.5 million tonne Abu Dabbab and the nearby 98 million tonne Nuweibi tantalum projects.

Gippsland has completed a definitive Feasibility Study for the Abu Dabbab project, having a design mill-feed rate of 2 million tonnes per annum. It is scheduled to produce 650,000 pounds of tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5), plus 1,530 tonnes of LME grade tin metal per year commencing late 2010.....

The present international financial turmoil clearly presented difficulties in placing these shares, however it is important that the Company has sufficient funds on hand to vigorously attend to the development of our world-scale tantalum assets.- Web Site

HIGH-GRADE MASSIVE SULPHIDE INTERSECTION CONFIRMS CARNILYA HILL UPSIDE

Underground Drilling Intersects 4.6 metres @ 12.75% nickel Outside Ore Reserves

Australian nickel mining company Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) has confirmed the potential for significant additions to current Reserves at its recently commissioned Carnilya Hill Nickel Mine after announcing a high-grade intersection of 4.63 metres @ 12.75% nickel (true width 2.66 metres) - the highest grade drill intersection yet achieved at the mine.

Mincor said today (Monday) that the intersection lies just outside the current Mineral Resource boundary, pointing to significant additional potential in the keel zone of the ore system at Carnilya Hill.

The drill hole (CUD0038) was the first in a new round of underground infill diamond drilling required for mine planning purposes as the new operation - which is part of Mincor's Northern Division of Kambalda mines - continues its production ramp-up.

The ramp-up commenced in earnest during the September Quarter, with thick, high-grade nickel mineralisation now being driven along the 14 Level of the main ‘B' ore zone. Production for the September Quarter is provisionally estimated at 9,860 tonnes @ 3.6% nickel.

Drill hole CUD0038 intersected the basal contact just outside the lower boundary of the Mineral Resource (see long section attached). The resulting intersection consists entirely of high-grade massive sulphides..... - Web Site
