A jump in unemployment sent stocks sharply lower Friday (the Dow Jones industrial average fell 143 points) as investors feared that Americans won't soon deviate from their tightened budgets. The Labor Department's much-anticipated report showed employers cut 524,000 jobs in December, a smaller decline than the loss of 550,000 jobs economists forecast. But the unemployment rate jumped to a 16-year high of 7.2 percent.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a light 1.16 billion shares.
For the week, the Dow fell 4.8 percent, the S&P 500 slid 4.5 percent and the Nasdaq lost 3.7 percent.
Crude oil fell a fourth day after a report showing that the U.S. unemployment rate surged in December raised concern demand will drop faster than OPEC cuts output.
Copper rose, capping a second straight weekly gain, on speculation that U.S. government spending will help end a recession that eliminated more jobs in 2008 than in any year since World War II.
Gold rose for a second day on speculation that the US dollar will slide as the recession deepens, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment. Silver also gained.

Weekly Drilling Report - Highlights of the week's activities include:
Beach Petroleum Operated Cooper / Eromanga Exploration
The Callawonga-6 oil field development well (PPL 220) has been cased and suspended as a future McKinlay Member / Namur Sandstone oil producer, the well intersecting 9.5 metres of net oil pay in high quality reservoir sands. This is considered an excellent result. The Ensign 30 rig has been moved to Gunyah-1, the third of four back-to-back wells currently being drilled by the Joint Venture in PEL92 / PPL 220. The Gunyah prospect is located on trend with the Parsons oil field, 1.3 km to the south of Parsons-2. Interests in the four well program are Beach Petroleum Ltd (75%) and Cooper Energy Ltd (25%).
Cooper/Eromanga Oil Exploration and Development - Santos Operated
In areas operated by Santos, two wells are in progress (Spencer West-3, Beach 20.21% and Tennaperra-2, Beach 30%).
Beach Operated Offshore Australia Program - South East Australia
Fermat-1 is at a depth of 3585m. The current operation is conditioning hole in preparation of running wireline logs. Interests in Fermat-1 are Beach Petroleum Ltd, 50%, Essential Petroleum Resources Ltd, 25% and Mitsui E&P Australia Pty Ltd, 25%. Note that Essential is currently in default of the December 2008 cash call requirements for the Fermat-1 drilling operations.
Egypt - South East July Concession - Gulf of Suez
South July-1, targeting oil in the Rudeis and Nubia Formations, is drilling ahead in the Zeit Formation at a depth of 1114m. Interests in South July-1 are Beach Petroleum (Egypt) Pty Limited, 20%, Santos Egypt Pty Ltd, 40% and Dana Petroleum (E&P) Limited, 40%. - Web Site

Lumwana Mine Update
Project Completion
During construction the Lumwana Project achieved an excellent health and safety record, achieving over 5 million hours without a lost time injury and resulting in a lost time injury frequency rate of 0.3 (per 200,000 hours), which management believes to be an outstanding result.
Subsequent to handover of the processing facilities late in November 2008, final preparatory works were completed prior to the commencement of plant wet commissioning early in December.
Final project capital expenditure is estimated at US$814 million consistent with previous Company guidance.
December to Date Production
To the end of December 2008, Lumwana had processed 1,070,000 dry metric tonnes of ore producing 20,046 dry metric tonnes of concentrate at an average grade of approximately 40% copper, with nameplate capacity of 2,450 tonnes per hour (equal to 20 Mtpa) being achieved on a 12 hour continuous shift basis. Concentrate deliveries have commenced, with 12,156 tonnes of concentrate dispatched to various destinations on the Copperbelt. Concentrate grade and specifications are both in accordance with design expectations, testwork and all offtake agreements. Throughput rates are now being progressively increased to test processing plant capacity. Concentrate production continues to ramp up towards steady state commercial production.
Concentrate Deliveries
Concentrate deliveries to offtakers commenced on December 13, 2008. Long term contract deliveries will commence later this month to Chambishi Copper Smelter ("'CCS"'), with interim deliveries of concentrate going to international metal traders' facilities on the Zambian Copperbelt under short term contracts. Scheduled tonnages of concentrate presented to the Mufulira Smelter of Mopani Copper Mines Plc ("'Mopani"') (owned by Glencore/First Quantum Minerals), whilst in accordance with contract specifications, have not been accepted for delivery by Mopani and Glencore to date. Mopani and Glencore have claimed that the Lumwana concentrate does not meet contract specifications. The Company maintains that the Lumwana concentrates are within the contract specifications and the shipments have been re-directed to international traders. The Company intends to pursue its rights under the contracts with Mopani and Glencore.
With CCS as the primary offtaker, Equinox has offtake flexibility with a number of other local Zambian and international buyers whose facilities may be used for any additional concentrate production.
2009 Production Forecast
With production ramp up progressing smoothly, the Company estimates production for 2009 will total 170,000 tonnes (375 million pounds) of copper metal in concentrates at a cash (C1) operating cost of US$1.15 per pound. As can be expected, unit production costs are anticipated to be higher in the early part of 2009 until steady state production activities are reached, which is expected by mid-2009.......
Lumwana Uranium Project
In April 2008 Equinox released the results of a feasibility study on the design of a treatment facility for the uranium ore stockpile that will result from the selective mining of the discrete, high grade uranium zones within the Lumwana copper orebodies. Subsequent to the release of this feasibility study the Government of the Republic of Zambia ("'GRZ"') has implemented its guidelines for uranium mining, processing and export that are consistent with International Atomic Energy Agency guidelines and the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. The GRZ has recently approved the Lumwana Uranium Environmental Impact Assessment. However, due to current difficulty in international project financing as well as current market prices for uranium oxide, the Company believes it prudent to defer the implementation of this uranium project until such conditions improve sufficiently to deliver appropriate shareholder value. In the interim, high grade uranium ore will be stockpiled at Lumwana in accordance with Zambian legislation and international best practice.... - Web Site

A deal to help head off more mortgage foreclosures pulled Wall Street out of a slump Thursday, giving stocks a mostly higher close. Democratic lawmakers reached an agreement with Citigroup Inc. on a plan to let bankruptcy judges alter loans in an effort to prevent homes from going into foreclosure. Other lenders are expected to follow suit.
Wall Street was down for much of the session after a profit warning from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. intensified fears that consumers are even worse off than thought. Their reluctance to spend -- evident in Thursday's retail sales reports from many of the nation's biggest merchants -- could make it harder for the country to recover from the recession.
Advancing issues outpaced decliners by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a light 4.34 billion shares compared with 4.57 billion shares traded Wednesday.

A warning from tech giant Intel about poor business conditions and more evidence of rising unemployment left stocks with their biggest losses in a month Wednesday.
The news upended some investors' hopes for a speedy economic recovery this year and sent the major stock indexes down more than 2.5 percent, including the Dow Jones industrials, which lost 245 points.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 4 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a light 4.57 billion shares compared with 5.31 billion shares Tuesday.
Pink slips are piling higher as companies scramble to cut costs even deeper to survive the country's economic and financial storms.
Oil prices were steady below $43 a barrel Thursday in Asia after a higher-than-expected increase in U.S. inventories sparked a 12 percent plunge in crude overnight.
Gold prices went into steep declines by mid-morning Wednesday on the COMEX, while platinum prices have surged ahead to widen the premium over the yellow metal to almost $150. This strange trading ratio, now in its third day, is apparently forming a pattern that analysts are at a loss to explain, given the market fundamentals. Gold has been taking its cue from the US dollar lately -- and the dollar is regaining lost ground against other major currencies, particularly the euro, the pound sterling and the Japanese yen.

Fermat-1, VIC/P46 offshore Otway Basin - Progress Report No. 5
Essential Petroleum Resources Limited has been informed by Beach Petroleum, as operator of the offshore Otway Basin permit VIC/P46, that Fermat-1 has reached a measured depth of 3585 mRT. At 1600 hours on the 7 January 2009 the operation was conditioning the hole in preparation for running wireline logs.
As previously announced, EPR's ability to contribute to the cost of drilling of Fermat-1 is contingent upon it entering into a farm-out agreement with a third party, the terms of which must allow EPR to fulfill its Joint Venture obligations.
To date, the Company has not completed a farm-out of VIC/P46 and consequently it has not, as yet, met the December 2008 cash call requirements for the Fermat-1 drilling operations.
Under the provisions of the VIC/P46 Joint Venture Agreement, EPR has another 44 days to rectify this situation.

Wall Street brushed off more bad economic news Tuesday to finish with a moderate advance that left broad stock indexes at their highest levels in two months.
Stocks gained after stumbling in the early going because of mixed data on the service sector, factory orders and pending home sales. While investors expected the readings would show further deterioration, they were hoping the pace of the declines would slow.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 4 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.34 billion shares.
Oil dropped for the first time in four days in New York on forecasts the economy will worsen, curtailing demand in the world's biggest energy-consuming country.
Copper prices jumped to a one-month high on speculation that a government stimulus package will help bolster the U.S. economy and revive demand for industrial metals.
Gold rose, erasing earlier losses, on speculation that the US dollar's rally will stall.

VIC/P46 offshore Otway Basin - Fermat-1 update
Essential Petroleum Resources Ltd (EPR) holds a 25% equity interest in the Fermat 1 exploration well, currently being drilled in permit VIC/P46, in the offshore Otway Basin.
As previously announced, EPR's ability to contribute to the cost of drilling of Fermat-1 is contingent upon it entering into a farm-out agreement with a third party, the terms of which must allow EPR to fulfill its Joint Venture obligations.
To date, the Company has not completed a farm-out of VIC/P46 and consequently it has not, as yet, met the December 2008 cash call requirements for the Fermat-1 drilling operations.
Under the provisions of the VIC/P46 Joint Venture Agreement, EPR has another 46 days to rectify this situation. The Company is, therefore, continuing in its endeavours to farm-out an interest in VIC/P46. - Web Site

Caution returned to Wall Street Monday as investors gave back some gains from last week's rally even as they found encouragement from President-elect Barack Obama's calls for an economic stimulus package.
Despite the pullback in the major indexes, advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.32 billion shares.
Analysts expect Wall Street will remain on edge in the coming months as companies release their quarterly results and, more important, their forecasts for the year. Economists are expecting terrible profit reports and cautious forecasts but anything worse than expected could rock the market.
Crude oil rose to a five-week high on speculation that the conflict in the Gaza Strip may spread, disrupting oil supplies from other parts of the Middle East, and on signs that OPEC production cuts are being implemented.
Copper dropped for the first time in more than a week as rising inventories and the global recession undermined prospects for a rebound in demand for industrial metals. Nickel and aluminum also fell.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released figures for the country's gold output in November showing that production for the year to end-November reached 246.51 tonnes - up only 2.14 percent from the figure for the first 11 months of 2008 - the year in which China's gold production exceeded that of South Africa for the first time, making it the world's top producer.

Cairn Hill Update
Primary Industry and Minerals SA ("'PIRSA"') has approved the Mining and Rehabilitation Plan ("'MARP"') for the mining activities and is ready for IMX to accept. Northern Territory development approval has been received for the fill for the stockpile area, subject to the lodgement of an environmental plan, which will occur shortly. The final approval for the construction and operation of the stockpile will be lodged within the next four to six weeks.
In the second half of 2008, when IMX Resources Limited (ASX:IXR) was well advanced with negotiations with a number of parties to fully fund the capital expenditure requirements for Cairn Hill Phase 1, the Board agreed to enter into certain expenditure commitments, to expedite the project ahead of the wet weather season in the Northern Territory and meet the timelines of the Jilin Tonghua Iron & Steel (Group) Mining Co Ltd purchase and sales agreement. Significant progress has been made on this site infrastructure and procurement of equipment, with the following significant items in progress or nearing completion:
Some delays were experienced in mid December as a result of some heavy rain events which made access very difficult.
Due to the global financial crisis the funding, previously mentioned, was not completed and as a consequence the Board has curtailed further expenditure pending the finalisation of funding. In this regard the Company continues to actively pursue discussions with several potential investors and providers of finance for the project.
Cash at bank at the end of December was $10.8m. Capital expenditure commitments on Cairn Hill will utilise approximately $5.8m, leaving uncommitted cash of approximately $5m for exploration and corporate expenditures - sufficient to see the Company through at least 12 months.
IMX is taking the opportunity to closely review all facets of the capital and operating costs to determine where savings can be prudently made to reduce the upfront funding requirements. - Web Site

ANOTHER JV ON THE GINGIN SCARP INCREASES LANDHOLDINGS TO 2,410SQ KM
Image Resources is pleased to announce a new joint venture on an 85sq km tenement (E70/3041) with unlisted Kingsreef Pty Ltd, increasing its tenement holdings in the North Perth Basin to approximately 2,410sq km.

AUSTRALIA'S BONAPARTE ANNOUNCES FIRST RESOURCE ESTIMATE FOR OFFSHORE NAMIBIAN PHOSPHATE DEPOSIT
Media release Callawonga 6 success
Beach Petroleum Ltd's oil discovery success on the Western flank of the Cooper basin in South Australia has continued with an excellent result from its Callawonga-6 well.
The Callawonga 6 well hit 9.5 metres of oil producing reservoir sands in the joint venture's latest drilling campaign in the area.
This continues a long run of success in the area in the past four years which has produced four commercial oil discoveries and more than a dozen producing wells.
"'This is a great New Year's present for the PEL 92 joint venture after a record performance for 2008,"' Beach's managing director, Reg Nelson, said.
Callawonga-6 is the second of a number of development and exploration wells to be drilled in the joint venture's latest campaign in the area. The well intersected 9.5 metres of net oil pay in the McKinlay/Namur formations and is expected to make a strong contribution to the block's rising production profile in the opening half of calendar 2009.
Mr Nelson said, "Beach and its joint venturer, Cooper Energy, have made substantial investments to improve delivery capacity from the block over the past year."
"It's a great credit to all concerned that oil is flowing continuously through the new Callawonga to Tantanna pipeline - and thence to Moomba and Port Bonython - at levels of up to 5700 barrels per day."...... - Web Site
