Australian Mining & Exploration Companies-News

Investors' ambivalence about earnings reports gave Wall Street a mixed performance Friday. Better-than-forecast results from Google Inc. helped technology shares while lackluster numbers from General Electric Co. reinforced investors' concerns about the depths of the recession.

According to preliminary calculations, the Dow industrials fell 45.24, or 0.56 percent, to 8,077.56. The Dow had been down more than 200 points early in the day and briefly moved into positive territory.

For the week, the Dow is down 2.46 percent, the S&P 500 is down 2.1 percent and the Nasdaq is ending off 3.4 percent.

Crude oil rose to a two-week high on speculation that stockpiles will decline as OPEC implements promised production cuts and investors purchased commodities as an alternative to stocks and bonds.

Copper prices increased for the first time in four days after an earthquake rattled parts of Chile, the world's biggest supplier of the metal.

Gold prices rose to a three-month high, climbing past $900 an ounce in both New York and London for the first time since October, as global equity markets tumbled, boosting demand for a safe harbor. Silver also jumped.

Tropicana - Resource Increased to 5 Million Ounces

IGO is pleased to announce that the Tropicana resource has increased from 4.05Moz to 5.01Moz of gold. IGO's share is 30% or 1.5Moz. Gold resources in the Measured and Indicated categories have increased from 2.1Moz to 3.5Moz. The resource is a recoverable resource model that accounts fro ore loss and mining dilution. The resource contains open-cut material only. Potential underground resources and gold results received since the resource model was completed have the potential to result in future resource increases. Approximately 80% of the resource is expected to be included in the final pit design. As the final pit designs will be optimised at a lower gold price, the mining inventory grade is expected to be higher than the current resource grade. - Web Site

FAR APPOINTED OPERATOR WITH 90% WORKING INTEREST AND FURTHER FARMOUT OFFER RECEIVED FOR SENEGAL BLOCKS

Offshore Senegal, West Africa

FAR is pleased to announce that following meetings held in Dakar last week it has received formal approval from Petrosen (Senegal's National Oil Company), to increase its working interest to 90 percent and assume Operatorship under the Contract for Exploration and Hydrocarbon Production Sharing covering the Rufisque and Sangomar and Sangomar Deep offshore blocks.

Following meetings with Petrosen, a meeting was also held with the Minister of Energy for the Republic of Senegal to confirm FAR's appointment as Operator, its increased working interest and to provide an activity update since Ministerial approval of a one year extension to the First Renewal Period was granted.

FAR is pleased to advise that following the grant of the extension and as foreshadowed in earlier ASX releases it has received a third written offer from a major to participate in the exploration of these offshore blocks. Negotiations are continuing.

The increased interest in the blocks has placed FAR in a stronger negotiating position in the farmout process that was delayed by the need to obtain an extension..... - Web Site

Maari Development Drilling update

Horizon Oil Limited is pleased to announce that further good progress has been made on the Maari Oil Field development since the last drilling update provided to shareholders on 29 December 2008. In that update it was reported that batch drilling of the surface holes for the first three production wells to depths of about 900 m was successfully completed.

The MR3P8 oil production well was then drilled to a depth of 2,052 m and 10-¾" casing run to 2,048 m. A 9-½" horizontal section was drilled over 1,518 m in the upper part of the Moki reservoir formation, entirely in clean, oil-bearing sandstone. On reaching total depth of 3,570 m, the lower completion assembly consisting of wire-wrapped screens was installed into the open-hole.

Subsequently the upper completion assembly, containing the electric submersible pump and sub-surface safety valve assemblies, was run on 6-5/8" tubing and stabbed into the lower completion. Finally the heat-tube, which is designed to prevent wax deposition in the tubing, was installed inside the completion string and terminated at the wellhead.

The rig completed operations on MR3P8 at 1800 hrs on 22 January 2009 and skidded to the next production well slot, MR4P9, where drilling of the 14-½" hole-section is underway.

The MR3P8 well will now be hooked-up to the production facilities, by installing surface piping, electrical connections and instrumentation, prior to commencing production to the FPSO Raroa anticipated for later next month.

The Maari Oil Field is located in PMP 38160, in the offshore Taranaki basin, New Zealand. Oil production will ramp up towards the expected initial gross rate of 35,000 barrels of oil as the development wells are progressively drilled and turned to the FPSO. - Web Site

JORC Compliant Resource Statement for Sheep Mountain Deposit

Liontown Resources is pleased to announce the release of a maiden JORC-compliant resource estimate for our Sheep Mountain copper - molybdenum deposit in Arizona, USA.

The resource, which is in the Inferred category due to its reliance on historical drilling, is estimated at 40,300,000 tonnes at an average copper grade of 1.4% and an average molybdenum grade of 0.035%. This equates to 564,200 tonnes of in-situ copper metal, plus 14,100 tonnes of molybdenum metal.

The Company believes this result confirms our belief that Sheep Mountain is a significant deposit and provides a strong foundation for further exploration to expand the resource and improve its categorisation....... - Web Site

MT WRIGHT

Very encouraging result from drilling to test depth potential

Exploration

Exploration continued at regional prospects near Syama in Mali, Golden Pride in Tanzania and Ravenswood in Queensland.
In Mali, air core drilling at the Samory prospect (1km east of Syama) returned intercepts of 4m @ 2.74g/t Au , 2m @ 3.66g/t Au , 2m @ 5.60g/t Au, and 2m @ 4.36g/t Au all from surface (0m). Like the recently outlined Tellem and Drag Queen prospects, Samory represents a potential new oxide ore source for the Syama mill. First pass air core drilling across the northern end of the Finkolo permit returned numerous gold intercepts associated with the Syama Footwall Shear and the Galamankourou Duplex Shear including 4m @ 2.44g/t Au from 40m, 4m @ 7.79g/t Au from 8m and 4m @ 14.60g/t Au from 16m.
In Tanzania diamond drilling at the Kavsav Prospect returned best intercepts of 17m @ 1.97g/t Au from 13m and 6m @ 3.10g/t Au from 70m. A recent litho-structural evaluation of the Kavsav mineralisation has identified several new target areas that may represent higher grade gold zones within the large low grade Kavsav system. At Nyakafuru regional reverse circulation drilling returned 5m @ 14.78g/t Au from 80m approximately 1km along strike and to the south of the Reef 2W deposit.
In Queensland reverse circulation drilling at the Airstrip prospect returned 3m @ 4.96g/t Au from 76m from a newly delineated mineralised zone to the north of previous drilling intercepts.

Corporate

Group cash and bullion at the end of the quarter was A$42m (A$10m).
Gross cash inflow from operations for the quarter was A$29m (A$21m inflow).
Capital raising of A$54.7m to complete the redevelopment and ramp-up of Syama and maintain the Company's other development activities completed during the quarter.- Web Site

WEST WITS MINING

West Wits announces maiden JORC compliant Indicated and Inferred Gold Resources at its near surface Emerald Target

Highlights

West Wits completes its maiden JORC compliant Inferred/Indicated Gold Resource ahead of schedule at Company's Emerald Target
The Company has established an initial 157,019 ounce JORC compliant Inferred Gold Resource at an average grade of 2.12g/t down to an average depth of 85m across a 2km strike length at the Emerald Target ("the Emerald Resource"). West Wits has also established a small JORC Indicated Gold Resource of 3,779 ounces of gold at 1.64g/t.
This initial Emerald Resource has significantly out-performed the Conceptual Target model, which provided for a joint Emerald and Princess Target of 33,000-38,000 ounces of gold
The establishment of this resource (even as gold in the ground) is considered significant, particularly in relation the Company's current market capitalisation
The Company has identified high grade zones within the Emerald Resource, which using a cut-off grade of 2.5g/t translates into 72,903 ounces of gold at 3.59g/t
The Company believes only a small amount of further site and desktop geological work will be required to upgrade a significant proportion of the Emerald Resource to an Indicated status
West Wits is now commencing metallurgical, pit optimisation and environmental studies through the first 6 months of 2009, with the goal of moving into production in the latter half of 2009 - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street has again succumbed to bad news, closing sharply lower Thursday as more bad news about earnings and worries about the banking industry wiped out any attempts at a rally. The Dow Jones industrial average fell as much 271 points before ending down 105.

Bad news from Microsoft Corp. set the tone for the day and made clear more pain was to come before an elusive economic recovery would emerge. The company surprised investors Thursday morning by reporting its fiscal second-quarter earnings early -- and the news was not good. The software giant posted an 11 percent drop in profit and said it will slash 5,000 jobs over the next 18 months.

More downbeat economic readings, including an increase in the number of weekly jobless benefit claims and a sharp drop in home construction activity (US housing starts fell 15.5% in December, seasonally adjusted, to an annual rate of 550,000, the lowest number since US Commerce Department records began in 1959), added to the day's gloom.

Gasoline futures dropped 6.8 percent and crude oil was little changed after a U.S. government report showed a bigger-than-forecast gain in crude and fuel supplies as the recession curbed demand.

Copper fell to a one-week low in London, dropping for a third consecutive day, as expanding stockpiles of the metal signaled worsening demand. Aluminum rebounded from a five-year low.

Gold rose, along with silver, platinum and palladium as investors sought a store of value amid falling New York and European equity markets.

SANTOS

Fourth Quarter Activities Report

Production in line with 2008

December quarter production of 13.6 mmboe improved by 3% compared to the September quarter following the reinstatement of production from John Brookes in September.
Following the Varanus Island incident in June, initial production from John Brookes recommenced in early August with full production reinstated by early September.
2008 Cooper Oil production increased by 19% compared to the previous year, even though December quarter production was impacted by adverse weather conditions.

2009 production guidance

2009 production is expected to be in the range of 53 to 56 mmboe.

Record annual sales revenue

2008 sales revenue of $2.8 billion was a record for the Company.
December quarter average portfolio gas price of $4.74 per gigajoule was 23% higher than the December quarter of 2007, primarily due to higher realised ethane and LNG prices.
December quarter average realised oil price of A$89.81 per barrel was 19% lower than a year earlier, due to lower international oil prices offset by a weaker A$/US$ exchange rate.

Key activities during the period

Appointment of Bechtel as downstream FEED contractor for Gladstone LNG.
Transfer of Santos' interest in the Brantas PSC in Indonesia, including the Banjar Panji-1 well, to a company associated with the project operator.
Oil discovery with the Fletcher-3 exploration well in the Carnarvon Basin offshore Western Australia.
Successful completion of $300 million off-market share buy-back.
US$585 million Sino Iron gas sales contract signed in early January, with gas to be supplied from the Reindeer project in Western Australia. - Web Site

The drilling report and well location map for the week ending 21 January, 2009 are attached. Highlights of the week's activities include:

Beach Petroleum Operated Cooper / Eromanga Exploration Gunyah-1 has been plugged and abandoned after wireline logs confirmed the absence of hydrocarbons in the well.

The Ensign 30 rig has been moved to the Perlubie-1 drill site, 1.3km south of the Gunyah-1 location and 2.6km south of the Parsons-2 oil well. Perlubie-1 spudded on 21 January and is currently drilling ahead at a depth of 107 metres in surface hole. The well is targeting a mean success volume of 520 kbbls of oil. It is the fourth well of a four well, Beach operated back-to-back drill program in PEL 92 / PPL 220 that commenced with the drilling of the Callawonga-5 and Callawonga-6 oil field development wells. 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 (Jackson-58, Beach 38.50% and Bindah-3, Beach 20.21%).

Beach Operated Offshore Australia Program - SE Australia

Fermat-1 has been plugged and abandoned and the rig released on 18 January. It has been decided that a jack-up rig is unsuitable for the drilling of Spikey Beach-1 and the West Triton rig has been demobilised and will be returned to Singapore. Alternate options for drilling the Spikey Beach Prospect are being assessed by the Joint Venture.

Egypt - South East July Concession - Gulf of Suez

South July-1, targeting oil in the Lower Rudeis and Nubia Formations, is drilling ahead at a depth of 2670 metres in the Belayim Formation. It is expected that the well will take approximately another six weeks to reach its planned total depth of 3970 metres.

COPPER STRIKE

Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report

Based on a successful infill and extension drill campaign at Kaiser Bill near Einasleigh in north Queensland, the Kaiser Bill resource has been increased by 22% in tonnes, 11% in grade and 32% in contained copper.
Total Mineral Resource: 15.6Mt @ 0.88% copper, 0.13g/t gold, 7.2g/t silver.
The new resource forms the basis of a refinement of the Feasibility Study on the Einasleigh Project. Work at Einasleigh has been scaled back and is focused on the approvals process and determining the capital and operating costs of a 1.8 Mt per year operation treating both Kaiser Bill and the high grade Einasleigh copper ores.
As shown in the graph below, drilling in 2008 led to large resource increases in both contained copper (now 220,000 tonnes) and contained zinc/lead (now 602,000 tonnes) at Copper Strike projects, making it a very successful resource discovery year. We expect further such increases in the future once exploration drilling has been resumed. - Web Site

COEUR D'ALENE MINES

COEUR RECEIVES $80 MILLION FROM ROYALTY TRANSACTION WITH FRANCO-NEVADA CORPORATION FOR FUTURE PALMAREJO GOLD PRODUCTION

- Details Provided of Substantially Expanded Palmarejo Mine Plan -
- Proceeds Solidify Coeur's Long-Term Liquidity Position -

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, January 21, 2009 - Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE, TSX:CDM, ASX:CXC) announced today it has entered into a gold royalty stream transaction with Franco-Nevada Corporation (TSX:FNV) under which Franco-Nevada will purchase 50% of the life of mine gold to be produced by Coeur from its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico.
Gold Royalty Stream Financing
Coeur will receive total proceeds of US$80.0 million consisting of a US$75.0 million upfront cash payment plus a contingent payment of US$5.0 million comprised of special warrants that are each exercisable to purchase one common share of Franco-Nevada for no additional consideration once the mine achieves certain completion tests. In addition to this consideration, Coeur will retain the benefit of the lesser of US$400 (increasing by 1% per annum beginning on the fourth anniversary of the transaction) and the prevailing market price for each ounce of gold delivered to Franco-Nevada.
"Coeur is excited to have Franco-Nevada, the leading precious metals royalty company, as a partner in our Palmarejo silver and gold mine," said Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and CEO of Coeur. "This transaction solidifies Coeur's liquidity position and provides sufficient capital to complete the construction of the mine and fund continued exploration and development. This major project remains on-budget and on-schedule for start-up this quarter. Once in production, Palmarejo's low-cost ounces will contribute to an expected 66% increase in 2009 companywide silver production to 20 million ounces and an 85% increase in total 2009 gold production to over 85,000 ounces compared to 2008 levels."
Expanded Mine Plan
The current eleven-year mine plan expands the June 2008 feasibility study production schedule by including the extraction of material that is currently classified as mineral resources. With this updated mine plan, Palmarejo will have the capacity to produce an average of approximately 120,000 ounces of gold and 9.0 million ounces of silver annually. Production this initial, start-up year is expected to total 5.3 million ounces of silver and 72,000 ounces of gold. - Web Site

WOODSIDE

Fourth Quarter Report for Period Ended 31 December 2008

Key Points

Production records for the quarter, second half and full year:

Quarterly production was boosted by higher condensate, LNG and oil (largely due to start-up of Angel, the ramp-up of LNG Train 5 and the first full-quarter of Vincent and Neptune production)

Sales revenue records for the second half and full year:

Increased production and higher commodity prices led to record revenues over the last 6 and 12 month periods. The second-half revenues also had some assistance from a weakening A$-US$ exchange rate, compared to the first half 2008
Despite the Q4 production being higher than the previous quarter and a favourable movement in the A$- US$ exchange rate, the significant drop in commodity prices during the last quarter of 2008 reduced the Q4 2008 revenue compared to the previous quarter

2008 Profit:

Preliminary analysis indicates FY 2008 Reported NPAT could be in the range of $1.75 billion to $1.80 billion, approximately 70% to 75% higher than that of 2007 (subject to finalisation by company and external auditors)

Activities:

In January 2009 Woodside reached agreements to enter into new debt facilities for US$800 million
Vincent - first full quarter of production after start-up 28 August
Train 5 - first full quarter of production after start-up 31 August
Angel - first gas achieved 2 October
North West Shelf oil - redevelopment project approved
North Rankin Redevelopment - on schedule with North Rankin B sub-structure fabrication in Indonesia
2009 production target is 81 to 86 MMboe - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street snapped back from a steep sell-off with a rebound in the same financial stocks that were pummeled Tuesday. Upbeat comments from banks, stronger-than-expected results from IBM Corp. and hopes that Washington will offer more help to the economy powered a rally that recovered most of the previous session's losses. The Dow Jones industrials surged nearly 280 points and all the major indexes rose more than 3.5 percent.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 4 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.74 billion shares.

Citigroup Inc. surged 31 percent after falling 20 percent Tuesday. Bank of America jumped 31 percent a day after falling 29 percent.

IBM surprised investors late Tuesday with a forecast for the year that was well above what analysts expected. IBM jumped $9.44, or 12 percent, to $91.42 and Apple rose $4.63, or 5.9 percent, to $82.83 before reporting better-than-expected results after the closing bell Wednesday.

Oil prices rose Wednesday, as investors kept a close eye on the rising financial markets for a sign that the economy may be on the path to recovery.

March copper was down 7 cents to $1.43 per pound in afternoon trade in New York, while in London three-month copper fell $121 to $3,220 per tonne as inventories in London Metal Exchange warehouses added 8,375 tonnes to 417,475 tonnes on the session. The gains also came on continuing demand concerns after a report from the International Copper Study Group which showed that copper demand was down more than 10 percent in the US in the first 10 months of 2008.

Gold prices closed lower on Wednesday and returned some of a rally from the prior session. A stronger U.S. dollar reduced the precious metal's hedge value.

BHP BILLITON QUARTERLY REPORT ON EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008

DEVELOPMENT

BHP Billiton's strong balance sheet allows us to invest through the cycle with a highly disciplined and value- focused approach.

Highlighting our commitment to value accretive longer term growth, we sanctioned two projects during the quarter, being the Western Australia Iron Ore Rapid Growth Project 5 (RGP5), and the North West Shelf Cossack, Wanaea, Lambert, Hermes (CWLH) Life Extension projects.....

MINERALS EXPLORATION

BHP Billiton continues to identify and prioritise various exploration activities. All of the exploration activities are reviewed regularly to ensure that we are capturing value accretive opportunities for future development.

Selection study work on the proposed Olympic Dam Expansion (Australia) is effectively complete. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) based on the five stage project configuration has been provided to the Federal, South Australian and Northern Territory Governments for a compliance review, with the intention that it be released for public comment during the first half of calendar year 2009. Pending government approvals for the EIS and consistent with the prevailing economic circumstances, project activity will be scaled back to that necessary to support the approvals process and the study of a number of mining and processing technology options. Olympic Dam Expansion expenditure for the six months ended 31 December 2008 was US$112 million, of which US$29 million was capitalised.

Grassroots exploration continued on targets in Australia, Chile, Argentina, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); and on diamond targets in Canada. Exploration for iron ore, coal, bauxite and manganese was undertaken in a number of regions including Australia, South America, Russia and West Africa.

For the six months ended 31 December 2008, BHP Billiton spent US$357 million on minerals exploration, of which US$313 million was expensed.

CENTAMIN EGYPT LIMITED ENTERS INTO A BOUGHT DEAL AGREEMENT FOR GROSS PROCEEDS OF C$60,000,200

Centamin Egypt Limited is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by Thomas Weisel Partners Canada Inc. and Cormark Securities Inc. (the "Underwriters") under which the Underwriters have agreed to buy 92,308,000 ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares") from Centamin Egypt Limited on a bought-deal basis and sell them to the public at a price of C$0.65 per Ordinary Share. The Company has also granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 13,846,200 Ordinary Shares at the same price, exercisable by the Underwriters in whole or in part for a period of 30 days on or following the closing of the offering.

The gross proceeds raised from the offering will be C$60,000,200 (C$69,000,230 if the over-allotment option is exercised). The offering is subject to the approval of the TSX. The Ordinary Shares will be offered in Canada by short form prospectus, and in such other jurisdictions, including the United States and in those jurisdictions outside of Canada which are agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters, where the Ordinary Shares can be issued on a private placement basis, exempt from any prospectus, registration or other similar requirements. The offering is expected to close on or about 17 February 2009.

Centamin Egypt Limited intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for the continued development of the Sukari Gold Project, underground development, other exploration and general corporate and working capital purposes. The requirement for additional development funds is primarily a result of recent movements in the US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate and construction delays at the Sukari Gold Project (as previously reported). The Company remains debt free, without gold hedging and on track for gold production in Q2 2009.

COPPERMOLY

DRILLING AND GEOPHYSICS AT NAKRU INDICATES LARGE BODY OF SULPHIDE MINERALISATION

Drilling and geophysical survey results at Narku-1 (refer to Figure 1) indicate the presence of large bodies of sulphide related copper mineralisation.

Peter Swiridiuk, Managing Director commented "We look forward to completing a number of deep drillholes to further evaluate these impressive sulphide related geophysical targets. Volcanic tephra cover has historically hampered efforts to define a distinct target for copper and gold mineralisation at depth. We now have the elusive targets which further enhance the value of the project which is only a four hour drive from a functioning deep water port in the capital of Kimbe".

Results from the recently completed drillhole at NAK017 intersected 28.4 metres at 1.1% copper in up to 2% chalcopyrite sulphides from 30m vertical depth. Copper sulphide intersections continued to the end of the hole where 6.3 metres of 0.45% copper was encountered in breccia. These copper intersections (refer to Table 1) directly relate to a strong geophysical anomaly (refer to Figure 2).... - Web Site

Origin Media Centre alert - Contact Energy - Hydrology and transmission constraints impact current year earnings

Contact Energy today advised that extreme hydrological conditions this year, combined with transmission constraints, particularly arising from the unexpected removal of pole one of the inter-island HVDC link in November 2007, have had a negative impact on earnings for the current financial year.

As noted in previous Contact Energy announcements, in August South Island wholesale prices were significantly higher than North Island prices due to the combination of severe drought in the South Island and significant transmission constraints limiting the delivery of lower-priced electricity from the North Island to the South Island. This resulted in Contact selling electricity to its lower North Island and South Island customers at a loss during the winter period.

More recently, higher than average inflows into the South Island hydro dams, which are currently at their highest levels in 10 years, combined with the unexpected and continued reduction in aluminium production from the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter from early November 2008, has resulted in significant spillage across the South Island hydro dams. The extent of the spill has been exacerbated by the absence of pole one which has, in this situation, limited the volume of lower priced electricity that can be transferred from the southern hydro systems to the North Island.

The lower aluminium production has resulted in up to 180 megawatts of hydroelectric power, which would have otherwise been utilised at Tiwai, being unable to find a path to demand due to transmission constraints.

All of these issues have contributed to Contact's hydro stations generating 274 gigawatt hours less in the first half of the financial year than the prior corresponding period....

In addition to the combination of extreme hydrological conditions and transmission constraints, recent producer price index (PPI) increases have resulted in significantly higher than expected gas costs for the 2009 financial year. During the six months ended 31 December 2008 there were two significant increases in the quarterly PPI leading to an annualised increase in PPI to 30 September 2008 of 13.6 per cent. The PPI movement is applied to adjust gas prices in most of Contact's gas purchase contracts. These recent increases will contribute to Contact paying about 25 per cent more per gigajoule for gas in the 2009 financial year...... - Web Site

Operational Advice

Davis Bintliff #1 - Sabretooth Prospect (12.5% before payout, 9.725% after payout)

Samson Oil & Gas Limited (AMEX: SSN; ASX: SSN) announced today that it commenced sales from the Davis Bintliff #1 well at a rate of 2.2 mmcfd with a flowing tubing pressure of 9,700 psi. The well is being flowed very conservatively to ensure the integrity of the well bore and is expected to be ramped up to around 7 mmcfd which will be held constant for the early years of the wells productive life. The well was previously flow tested at 6.17 mmscfd and 74 bopd with no water production at tubing pressure of 9738 psig.

This well have added significant value to Samson's proved developed producing assets. Because the well is located in the Gulf Coast Basin, the gas produced will be sold at Henry Hub prices.

Leonard #1-23H (10% working interest)

The Leonard 31-23H continues to be flowed back with interruptions to that flow process due to the freezing of the choke. A consistent sustained oil rate has yet to be obtained but the most recent flow data recorded a 485 BOPD rate with 485 BWPD. The well continues to free flow and it is expected that a pump will be run into the well and that a predictable rate established.

It is very encouraging that the well continues to flow up 7 inch casing without artificial lift......- Web Site

WALL STREET

The dawn of the Obama presidency could not shake the stock market from its dejection over the rapidly deteriorating state of the banking industry. Financial stocks, many of them falling by double digit percentages, led a huge drop on Wall Street Tuesday that left the major indexes down more than 4 percent and the Dow Jones industrials down 332 points.
The collapse in bank stocks was swift Tuesday: State Street Corp. plunged 59 percent, Citigroup fell 20 percent and Bank of America lost 29 percent. Royal Bank of Scotland fell 69 percent in New York trading.

Losing issues outnumbered gainers by about 9 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.72 billion shares.

Crude oil rose more than $2 a barrel in New York, the most in more than two weeks, as traders purchased futures for February delivery before the contract expired today.

Copper prices fell in New York on concern that the global recession may deepen, further weakening demand for the metal used in pipes and wires.

Gold prices rose to the highest in more than a week on speculation that the recession will deepen as banks continue to fail, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as a haven. Silver declined.

The daily flow rate of 1536 BOPD quoted in our earlier Growler-5 update was incorrect. The updated and correct flow rate figure as stated in Victoria Petroleum's release is 960 BOPD on a 16/64 inch choke with a flowing well head pressure of 283 psi. On shut in the well head pressure built to 522 psi within 30 minutes on a 16/64 inch choke.

The Growler-5 well will now be tied into the Growler Oil Field Central Production Facility to contribute to the production of the Growler Oil Field.

Lounge Lizard Update

Kagara Ltd is pleased to report that ongoing exploration and ore definition drilling has encountered further high grade nickel sulphide mineralisation with preliminary Niton results of 6.54 metres grading 9.3% nickel in hole LLDKN1W7W1 and 6.88 metres grading 3.0% nickel in hole LLDKN1W7 at the Lounge Lizard nickel deposit in the Forrestania region of Western Australia (see longitudinal section attached).

These results were obtained using a hand held Niton XRF unit, spot sampling every ten centimetres along the orientation line of the diamond drill core. True widths approximate 90% of drilled width in LLDKN1W7W1 and 70% in hole LLDKN1W7.

Final results using conventional analytical assaying techniques have also been received for several other diamond drill holes (see table below). Diamond drill hole LFPD18W3W3W1, for which preliminary assay results were announced on 3 December 2008, has returned final assay results of 62.00 metres grading 2.7% nickel, including 10.00 metres at 6.8% nickel, 14.00 metres at 4.3% nickel and 4.50 metres at 6.0% nickel. True widths are approximately 25% of drilled widths. Holes LLDKN1W5, LLDKN1W5W1, LLDKN1W5W2, LLDKN1W6, LLDKN1W6W1 and LLDKN1W6W1W1 testing the southern extent of Lounge Lizard, failed to intersect massive nickel sulphides but encountered significant quantities of disseminated sulphides which will result in an upgrade to the disseminated resource. The mineralised channel remains open to the south and further exploration will target expected additional accumulations of massive sulphides associated with this mineralised channel. - Web Site

CENTRAL PETROLEUM

KEY GEOPHYSICIST APPOINTMENT FOR CENTRAL PETROLEUM

A senior geophysicist who was in the discovery team for one of Papua New Guinea's most recent major gas discoveries, has been appointed to a similar role to help unlock the petroleum and Helium potential of Central Australia's Amadeus Basin and other interest areas.

Central Petroleum Limited (ASX: "CTP") announced today that it had appointed Mr Jason Storey, 32, as its Senior Geophysicist.

Mr Storey has significant experience in state-of-the-art 2D and 3D seismic data modelling in complex onshore settings similar to the Amadeus Basin around Alice Springs and where Central Petroleum holds the largest acreage of prospective oil and gas tenements in onshore Australia.

He recently returned from Papua New Guinea, having assisted InterOil Corporation achieve its 2006 discovery of the Elk gas reservoir - the first time that sequential seismic mapping has successfully been utilised in an onshore oil and gas project in that country. - Web Site

WESTERN AREAS

Quarterly Activities Report - December Quarter 2008

During the December quarter, significant progress was made towards achieving Western Areas goal to become Australia's second largest and lowest cost nickel producer. The single most important outcome from the December Q was a reduction in cash costs at Flying Fox to US$1.36/lb nickel in concentrate, probably the lowest in Australia. In addition, major capital infrastructure was completed in the December Q to enable the Company to focus on expanding low cost nickel production in 2009.

Highlights from the December Q 08 were:

8,114 tonnes of nickel from first full year production at Flying Fox
US$1.36/lb nickel cash costs for Flying Fox, down 47% since Sept Q
Mine development extended down to the Flying Fox T4 deposit
67% increase in high grade resources at Spotted Quoll to 125,460t nickel
Surface site works completed at the planned Diggers South mine
Previous mine portal exposed at the planned Cosmic Boy mine
Construction of the Cosmic Boy nickel concentrator completed
Upgrade of the accommodation village to 465 rooms
Very high safety and environmental standards maintained at mine site

The December quarter saw the nickel price drop from US$15,700/tonne (US$7.1/lb) on 30 September to US$10,800/tonne (US$4.9/lb) on 31 December. Despite these challenging market conditions, your Company is in a very strong position and is on track to achieve its goal to become one of Australia's premier nickel producers. Western Areas has set a number of targets for 2009. These are to:

Expand low cost production and ore reserves at Flying Fox mine
Commence open pit production at the high grade Spotted Quoll mine
Commission the Cosmic Boy nickel concentrator
Increase revenue by negotiating improved nickel offtake terms
Reduce costs by negotiating new contracts and reducing drilling budget
Discover another Spotted Quoll or Flying Fox type deposit in 2009 - Web Site

WALL STREET

US sharemarkets were closed on Monday for the Martin Luther King holiday.

European stocks closed lower on Monday, dragged down by the banking sector which suffered from mounting fears about the solvency of leading lenders.
A second multi-billion pound bank rescue package in Britain sparked the jitters after Royal Bank of Scotland forecast an annual loss of up to STG28 billion ($A61.34 billion).

Oil declined today on forecasts faltering global economic growth will drive down fuel demand.

China, the world's biggest copper consumer, will buy the metal overseas to boost state stockpiles, said an executive at Jiangxi Copper Co., the country's second- largest smelter.

Gold fell in London as crude oil slumped and the US dollar gained against the euro, reducing the metal's appeal as an inflation hedge and alternative investment.

BLACKWOOD CAPITAL LIMITED - FUNDING PACKAGE

We refer to Oropa Limited's ("Oropa or the Company") announcement dated 31st December 2008 concerning the appointment of Blackwood Capital Limited ("Blackwood") as lead arranger to complete a funding package of up to $2.0 million for the Company prior to 31st March 2009.

The Company is still in negotiations with Blackwood in relation to the final details of the funding package and expects to be in a position to make an announcement within the next week and convene a General Meeting of shareholders in late February.

Since entering into the arrangement, the Company has received $266,000 from sophisticated investor clients of Blackwood, which is being used for ongoing working capital requirements.

As outlined in the 31st December announcement, the directors have engaged Blackwood in this role to enable Oropa to resume exploration activities at its 75% owned Pungkut gold project in Sumatra, Indonesia and to provide much needed working capital. The timing of the funding initiatives proposed by Blackwood is critical to the ongoing viability of the Company.

Oropa's directors consider that securing the proposed $2.0 million funding package will facilitate the undertaking of the initial phase of the ongoing Pungkut development programs while the Company sources additional substantial funding to advance the project towards feasibility. - Web Site

NAKRU DRILLING AND TRENCHING INTERSECTS 11 METRES AT 2.84 G/T GOLD AND 28.4 METRES AT 1.1% COPPER

Coppermoly Limited is pleased to announce the 2008 drilling and trenching results at the Nakru-1 prospect (refer to Figure 1). Nakru consists of two main prospects and the results of drilling at Nakru-2 will be released when available in February.

KEY RESULTS:

Drillhole NAK014: 11m at 2.84 g/t gold from surface
Drillhole NAK017: 63.9m at 0.5% copper from 25.7m depth, including 28.4m at 1.1% copper
Trench 2: 65m at 0.57 g/t gold, including 20m at 1.2 g/t gold

Peter Swiridiuk, Managing Director commented "The value of this project has been significantly enhanced with the drilling, trenching and geophysical results completed last year. We have a surface blanket of gold in breccia above a porphyry-breccia copper system where higher grades of mineralisation are directly related to a geophysical IP anomaly. A further analysis of this is currently being completed. It is encouraging to see continuity of surface gold mineralisation and for gold grades to continue to some depth". - Web Site
