WALL STREET

Stocks ended lower Friday, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average to its lowest close since last November and leaving it with a weekly decline of 5.2 %. The S&P 500 lost 4.8% and the Nasdaq lost 3.6%.

Market breadth was negative and volume was pretty light ahead of the long holiday weekend. All financial markets are closed Monday for Presidents Day.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.5 billion shares, down from 5.65 billion on Thursday.

Wall Street is focused on lingering uncertainties. The stimulus package -- too big for some, too small for others -- is far from proving itself effective in reviving the economy. Investors also hesitated to get too excited about the upcoming announcement on preventing home foreclosures, after their hopes got dashed earlier in the week.

In London, shares in Lloyds Banking Group plunged 40 per cent overnight after it revealed that HBOS, the bank it rescued last year, had made a loss of $22 billion.

Oil prices jumped Friday by the largest amount in a single-day since the end of 2008 as a $787 billion stimulus bill designed to jump-start the economy moved one step closer to full congressional approval.

Copper prices rose for the first time this week as the US dollar declined, boosting demand for the metal as a hedge against inflation.

Gold prices were lower as demand for the precious metal eased after a three-day rally to the highest since July. Platinum also declined.

Response to ASX Enquiry

In response to an ASX request seeking clarification on an article by Kate Emery in the West Australian on the 11 February 2009, and with particular reference to the Lounge Lizard nickel deposit being for sale, Kagara would like to reiterate that Lounge Lizard is not for sale.

The ASX is concerned that there is no public statement to the effect that the deposit has been for sale as speculated by the West Australian. This is hardly surprising in that it has never been for sale. Since our last statement on the matter in April 2008, in which we also stated Lounge Lizard was not for sale, Kagara has continued to drill out the deposit culminating in the recent announcement of the impressive indicated and inferred resource of 1.149 million tonnes at 4.62% nickel. As stated in that report we are now investigating various development options and management will continue to keep shareholders fully informed on the progress of Lounge Lizard. - Web Site


KAGARA ZINC

Lounge Lizard High Grade Resource increased by 215% to 1.149 million tonnes at 4.62% nickel

Kagara Ltd is pleased to announce that, using a 1% nickel cut off, an upgraded high grade indicated and inferred resource of 1.149 million tonnes grading 4.62% nickel (53,100 tonnes of contained nickel) has been outlined for the Lounge Lizard nickel deposit at Forrestania in Western Australia. This resource is contained within an overall indicated and inferred resource, at a 0.4% nickel cut off, of 7.549 million tonnes grading 1.37% nickel, containing 103,300 tonnes of nickel and represents a 215% increase in contained nickel metal on the previously announced high grade resource of 0.263 million tonnes grading 6.3% nickel.... - Web Site

South Boulder Mines Ltd is committed to exploring for and developing projects that can add value, with a particular focus on its strategically diversified portfolio targeting gold, nickel, base metals, as well as potash and phosphate.
Mr. Lorry Hughes, South Boulder's Managing Director explained to the Australian Investor, "This is a significant development as the results represent the highest grades intersected so far at the Bulge. Another positive factor is that these encouraging results were returned from within a larger interval of disseminated and matrix nickel of 4.5m @2.04% Ni. Furthermore, the deposit is open to the south and at depth." To read the full interview, please click on the link below: - Web Site

DRUMMOND GOLD

Chairman's Letter to Shareholders

I am writing to update you on the recent progress of Drummond Gold Limited and our plans for 2009.

Let me begin by placing the Company's performance in the context of the extraordinary times in which we live.

Drummond Gold is making good progress and is clearly in the right business for these times - gold. The Company has increased its gold Resources substantially at a time of rising gold prices.

Yet your Company's share price is currently well below the listing level. As you well know, since Drummond Gold listed, we have witnessed a significant decline in the value of most, if not all mining companies' assets and mining investments. Our own share price has reflected the crisis and consequential low confidence we are all facing on a global level.

Despite these economic realities, your board has continued to remain focussed and steady in its resolve to deliver upon its foundation strategy commitments:

To this end, we have, over the past year, put together a strong team, led by Doug Grewar, who complement the board of directors and who are, individually and as a team, capable of delivering fully on these aspirations.

We possess a strong asset base with pedigree gold mines, projects and prospects in the Drummond Basin. Our cash position at 31 December 2008 of $2.23m (no debt) provides us with the confidence to continue to deliver on our strategies and commitments. In addition, the fundamentals for growth in the price of gold appear to be becoming more apparent as major world currencies falter...... - Web Site

HORIZON OIL

DIVESTMENT OF THAI PETROLEUM CONCESSIONS

As foreshadowed at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2008 and advised in the December 2008 quarterly report, the Company commenced a process in the December 2008 quarter to reduce its offshore drilling obligations in the Gulf of Thailand in 2009.

As a result of that process, the Company has transferred all its interests in Blocks G1/48, G3/48, G6/48, G10/48 and G11/48 ("Thai petroleum concessions") to Pearl Energy Limited, which either directly or indirectly via subsidiary companies, operates each of the petroleum concessions.

The divestment of the Thai petroleum concessions has eliminated Horizon Oil's liability to a committed and obligatory 2009 offshore drilling program with an estimated cost, net to Horizon Oil, of US$22 – 30 million. As a consequence of the transfer, Horizon Oil has no further obligations in respect of, nor participating interests in, the Thai petroleum concessions.

The Company's considerable carry obligations in Blocks G1/48, G3/48 and G6/48 in favour of Pearl Energy Limited were offset against the Company's expenditure to date in all concessions, resulting in no consideration payable by either the Company or Pearl Energy Limited. As a result of the transaction, the Company will recognise an impairment charge of US$6.8 million in respect of the Thai petroleum concessions in its 31 December 2008 half-year accounts. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks staged a late rally to close mostly higher on Thursday after Reuters reported the Obama administration was working on a program to subsidize mortgage payments for troubled homeowners.

Volume was moderate on the New York Stock Exchange, where about 1.48 billion shares changed hands, roughly in line with last year's estimated daily average volume of 1.49 billion shares. On the Nasdaq, about 2.47 billion shares traded, slightly above last year's daily average of 2.28 billion.

Decliners outnumbered advancers on the NYSE by a ratio of about 11 to 10, while on the Nasdaq, the ratio was about even.

Oil prices slid to a new low for the year Thursday because of growing doubts that the $789 billion stimulus package will reinvigorate the U.S. economy and demand for energy.
Crude supplies in the U.S. reached an 82-week high last week, according to the Department of Energy, showing just how far demand has fallen.

Nickel declined for a fourth day in London on speculation demand will deteriorate as stainless-steel makers run down inventories of the metal until economic growth revives. Copper and aluminum also eased.

Gold topped $950 an ounce, reaching the highest since July, on concern that the recession and banking crisis may deepen, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as a store of value. Silver was little changed.

AURORA OIL & GAS

UPDATE ON OPERATIONS AT WESTON #1H

Aurora Oil & Gas ("Aurora") provides the market with an update on operations at the Weston #1H well which is within the Sugarloaf AMI and is part of the Sugarkane Gas and Condensate Field.

Weston #1H

Aurora has been advised by the Operator, Texas Crude Energy Inc ("TCEI"), that although it has not been possible to recover the fish, a clean out assembly has washed past it and continued to the well TD at 15,685ft. The production liner is presently being deployed past the restriction and preparations will then be made to cement the liner in place.

The well will have approximately 3,000 ft of horizontal hole within the Austin Chalk and is likely to be fracture stimulated and then tested before being tied into production.

During the fishing operations the well continued to exhibit indications of gas charge, with gas readings of over 2,000 units and flares of up to 40 ft having been observed when circulating out the well following shut in periods. - Web Site

WESTERN AREAS

5.4% NICKEL RESERVE FOR SPOTTED QUOLL OPEN PIT MINE

The Board of Western Areas is pleased to announce a high grade Probable Ore Reserve for a proposed open pit mine at Spotted Quoll; which comprises 307,000 tonnes at an average grade of 5.4% nickel for approximately 16,500 tonnes contained nickel to 150m vertical depth.

It is now planned for the open pit to be mined in two stages. The first 12 months production will come from a high nickel grade Stage 1 Pit with a subsequent cutback to the south (Stage 2 Pit) - refer to Figure 1.

Compared to the initial scoping study released in May 2008, the grade of the ore reserve is 8% higher. Additionally the proposed open pit is shallower to reflect an optimized cut off between the open pit mine and the proposed underground mine.

Preliminary work is underway for a scoping study and an ore reserve for the proposed underground mine below the open pit.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD

$4 MILLION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES REDEEMED FOLLOWING PRODUCTION OF 7,699 OUNCES OF GOLD IN JANUARY

Beaconsfield Gold today redeemed in full 12 million convertible notes for $4.08 million. The notes had been issued in February 2007 to partially fund the successful acquisition of a 100% effective economic interest in the Beaconsfield Gold Mine.

The redemption was funded from the excellent positive cash flow now being generated by the Beaconsfield Mine. Gold production in January was strong at 7,699 ounces. The cash cost of production for January was A$643 per ounce and the gold price realised for January deliveries was A$1,331 per ounce.

The Beaconsfield Mine is performing well in February and the outlook for the March quarter remains strong. The mine is forecast to produce in excess of 80,000 ounces for the 2009 financial year.

VELE COLLIERY - APPOINTMENT OF PREFERRED PARTNER OPENCAST MINING OPERATIONS

Coal of Africa Limited is pleased to announce that it has selected MCC Contracts, a division of Eqstra Holdings Ltd, as its preferred partner to conduct opencast mining operations at its planned Vele coking coal project.

The Vele Project, in which CoAL has a 74% interest, is located in the Limpopo Province. It is anticipated that mining will commence in Q3 2009 with 1-1.5 million tonnes per annum, ramping up to 5mtpa of coking coal. As announced on 24 September 2008, the Vele resource has increased appreciably to some 721 million tonnes and this is expected to increase as drilling continues on the edges of the known resource.

The New Order Mining Right Application for the Vele Project was lodged in October 2008.

CoAL is confident of MCC Contracts' ability to deliver the volumes as required. ..... - Web Site

PROMISING ASSAY RESULTS FROM RADIO HILL

Pilbara-based nickel developer, Fox Resources (ASX:FXR), is today pleased to announce more encouraging assay results from the southern holes as part of the 2,000 metre drilling programme at its Radio Hill project near Karratha.

Commenced at the end of last year, the program was designed to test a series of Electromagnetic (EM) anomalies between 400 and 600 metres down plunge of mine workings - see figure 1.

The assays produced promising results from holes 08RHDD110 and 09RHDD111, which both intersected thick intervals of mine gabbro sequence containing variable to significant amounts of disseminated sulphides, before terminating in basalt basement. Each hole returned several intervals anomalous in nickel and copper within the mine gabbro, including 09RHDD111 1.0 metre @ 1.15% nickel and 0.94% copper from a depth of 412 metres down hole. Significant assays are tabulated below.

Fox Resources Managing Director Bruno Seneque said the results from these holes demonstrate that the mineralised trend extends south from the mine at least as far south as 08RHDD110. - Web Site

WCP: Lake Torrens IOCGU Update

Tasman resposne to WCP

THE decision by junior explorer WCP Resources to declare force majeure over its Lake Torrens joint venture has prompted opposition from the company's JV partner Tasman Resources.

Sydney-based WCP declared force majeure over the South Australian minerals project after land access issues left the company unable to complete planned exploration drilling.

With access restricted to key targets of the Vulcan prospect, WCP invoked force majeure to suspend further expenditure over tenements subject to its farm-in and joint venture agreement with Tasman.

Tasman disputes the validity of the force majeure declaration and is preparing a release for the market.

The declaration of force majeure also extends to areas the subject of WCP's option agreement with Toronto-listed company Dynamite Resources.

The land access issues relate to Aboriginal cultural heritage factors, and WCP said it is in discussion with the relevant government ministry and the native title claimants to resolve the situation.

It is not yet known how long the force majeure may be in place or how long the discussions will go on.

Under the terms of the joint venture, established in early 2007, WCP stands to earn an up to 65% interest in Lake Torrens through the expenditure of $A6.5 million over five years. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Investors are placing bets on an improvement in the economy after key lawmakers announced an agreement Wednesday afternoon on a $789 billion economic stimulus plan. Stocks turned slightly higher on the announcement after drifting lower in early afternoon trading.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a light 1.03 billion shares.

Oil prices plummeted below $36 Wednesday on more evidence that U.S. storage facilities are bulging with unused crude.

Copper fell for a third day in New York after imports tumbled in China, the world's biggest user of the metal.

Gold jumped to the highest since July on demand for precious metals as a haven amid concern that the U.S. government's plan to rescue banks will fail to revive the economy. Silver and platinum jumped to four-month highs.

CENTRAL PETROLEUM

Clarification

On 30 January 2008, Central Petroleum Limited (ASX-"CTP ") released to its shareholders and other parties on the Central web based mail out service, copies of public announcements made by Carbon Energy Limited (ASX- "CNX") concerning the success of CNX in the conduct of Underground Coal Gasification ("UCG") in the State of Queensland. In the release, CTP referred to the Joint Venture with Petroleum Exploration Australia, now a wholly owned subsidiary of QGC - a BG Group business ("QGC"). Central wishes to address any unintended perception that QGC itself or through its Joint Venture with CTP in the Pedirka Basin ("Joint Venture") has any interest in pursuing UCG as a potentially viable option for the area involved.


Outside of the current joint venture with PXA, a wholly owned subsidiary of QGC, a British Gas Group Company, Central Petroleum Limited, is very interested in UCG and its potential application within the Pedirka Basin and other areas.

Central has recently applied for almost 20,000 km2 of ground under the Northern Territory Mining Act covering extensive coal deposits in the Pedkirka Basin area. This development has been covered in a recent announcement.

Central Petroleum Limited is very encouraged by the recently announced results of UCG trials at the Carbon Energy Limited\'s Bloodwood Creek site.

Production increasing to full capacity at Chatree - Results for January 2009

Further to the undertaking given the recent quarterly briefing, Kingsgate will advise the market of its January and February 2009 gold production and cash costs.

Gold production continues to increase at Kingsgate's Chatree mine in central Thailand.

During January 2009, the processing plant operated at full capacity of 2.4 million tonnes per annum at an average head grade of 1.67 grams/tonnes gold. This produced 10,909 ounces of gold at a total cash cost of US$370 per ounce gold.

Cash costs are expected to continue to reduce as the average gold grade improves. Higher grade gold ore is now being accessed from new mining areas at Chatree North. - Web Site

RESOURCE DOUBLED FOR S.A. KAOLIN PROJECT AS PILOT PLANT COMPLETED

A doubling in Inferred Resource has been announced for the Carey's Well high-grade kaolin deposit, wholly owned by Minotaur Exploration (ASX : MEP) and located at Poochera on the far west coast of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula.

In addition, the Company announces the completion of a pilot plant to test the quality and recovery rates for the enhanced deposit.

The two key developments comprise:

Enhanced resource

Following an assessment of previous drill results, together with an additional six large diameter drill holes and confirmatory laboratory testing by Minotaur, an Inferred Resource of 20 million tonnes of "bright white" kaolinised granite has been estimated for the Carey's Well deposit, previously reported as 9 million tonnes (Carey's Well resource statement ASX release 2 May 2008).

The Inferred Resource is now defined from 91 vertical Rotary Air Blast (RAB) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes from three historical drilling campaigns and 6 Calweld drill holes. 59 holes intersected white to off-white kaolinised granite, 39 being composited for analytical test work that included raw ISO brightness (R457). Composite lengths were determined by grouping the original 1 metre samples that had consistent "whiteness". The average composite length is approximately 4 metres. - Web Site


MINOTAUR EXPLORATION

NSW Airborne Geophysical Program yields early results

Initial results described as "most encouraging" have been announced by Directors of Minotaur Exploration Ltd (ASX : MEP) from the current multi-program helicopter-borne VTEM geophysical survey underway over four base metals project areas in the South Australia (Border) and New South Wales (Louth, Cowra and Boorowa).

Preliminary data from about one third of the survey completed to date since commencement on 27 January, indicate a number of new anomalies that will require follow-up work on the ground.

Approximately 6,900 line kilometres of data are to be acquired at the Border Project (Joint Venture with Sumitomo), Louth Project (Joint Venture with JOGMEC) and Cowra-Boorowa Projects (Joint Ventures with Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation) to identify new high-quality base-metal (Cu, Pb, Zn) targets within these prospective terrains.

Approximately 2,500 line kilometres of data have been acquired so far in four survey blocks at the Border Project (Figure 1) on the NSW-SA border. Of particular interest from the initial data are two significant bedrock conductors, previously unknown, and located adjacent to the historic Birthday and Record Prospects.

Historic drilling at the Birthday Prospect has intersected low levels of lead, zinc and cobalt. A strong bedrock conductor (Figure 2) is present about 1 kilometre to the east. The interpreted conductor has a strike length of more than 2.5 kilometres and is untested..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street plunges as government unveils latest plan to support banking system

Investors are frustrated with the government's latest bank bailout plan -- and showed it by unloading stocks. The major stock indexes fell more than 4 percent Tuesday, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which tumbled 382 points. Financial stocks led the market lower, a sign of how concerned Wall Street is about the government's ability to restore the health of the banking industry. Demand for safe havens like Treasurys and gold rose.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.76 billion shares.

It was the lowest close since Nov. 20, when the blue chips finished at 7,552, a five-and-a-half year low. The Dow is still up 4.46 percent from that level, which many market observers hope will mark the bottom of the market's pullback since its record high levels of October 2007.

Traders and investors complained about what they saw as a lack of specifics from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on how the government will direct more than $1 trillion in public and private support to the financial system.

The latest plan calls for a government-private sector partnership to help remove banks' soured assets from their books. It would also boost an effort to unclog the credit markets that govern loans to consumers and businesses.

Crude oil fell to a three-week low on skepticism that the U.S. government's bank rescue plan will revive the economy.

Copper futures fell the most in a week in New York on speculation U.S. plans to boost the economy and revive the financial system may not be enough to stem the recession.

Gold rose - speculators have increased their bets this year by 24 percent that prices will reach $1,000 an ounce by April.

Que River Ore Reserve Upgrade

These may not be huge tonnes but we started with a reserve of 115kt, have mined and sold 81kt and now have a new reserve of 129kt, with some terrific upside. Translating that into the universal language "money-speak"; the 38kt tonnes we mined to the end of June 2008 underpinned a maiden profit of $1.8M. We mined another 43kt at better grades (but lower prices) in the six months to 31 December - generating the cash to agree to purchase the Hellyer Mill and undertake the feasibility study. This good news needs to be tempered with caution regarding our current reliance on reasonable metal prices and the continuation of ore sales to OZL's Rosebery Operation.

Que River is not the main game - but it is enabling us to put together the pieces to create a larger scale, longer term mining and processing operation. - Web Site

Nakru 2 Drilling Intersects High Grade Mineralisation

FIRST 2 DRILL HOLES AT NAKRU-2 PROSPECT BOTH INTERSECT SIGNIFICANT HIGHER GRADE COPPER MINERALISATION

The first ever drillhole completed at the Nakru-2 Prospect has intersected 27.7m grading* 1.90% copper, (with minor zinc, gold and silver), associated with previously reported high grade copper in bulldozer trenches (19m grading 4.3% copper) and a large 3-D Induced Polarisation anomaly. Refer to Figure 1 and Table 1 for additional details.

The second drillhole at the Nakru 2 Prospect intersected 26m grading* 1.65% copper, within 73m grading* 0.96% copper (also with minor zinc, gold and silver).

The hole targeted the high grade copper sulphide mineralisation intersection in Trench B with 19m grading* 4.3% copper. A historical rock chip sample from the same trench graded 19% copper (refer to Photo 2).

These drill holes partly tested the 3-D Induced Polarisation (I.P) geophysical anomaly and confirmed it is associated with significant grades of copper sulphide mineralisation.

Stan Yeaman, Technical Consultant to Coppermoly Ltd commented: "Both Trench A and Trench B indicate very strong chalcocite enrichment, which adds to the primary grade of about 1% to 2% copper, as seen in the drillholes. After removing all the post-ore dykes from the drillhole intersections, we have demonstrated a horizontal width in excess of 40 metres grading* 1.2% copper".- Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks ended a quiet session with only modest changes Monday as Wall Street sought details of how the government will reshape a rescue plan for the financial industry. Investors are also watching as political leaders scramble to put together an economic stimulus program.

Crude oil fell on speculation that U.S. stockpiles increased for the 18th time in 20 weeks as the recession curbed demand.

Copper fell in New York after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner put off announcing a U.S. financial-recovery plan by a day, spurring concern the recession will be prolonged.

Gold fell the most in four weeks on expectations the U.S. Congress will pass a smaller-than-expected stimulus package to revive the economy, easing the risk of accelerating inflation. Silver also declined.

EUREKA ENERGY

UPDATE ON OPERATIONS AT WESTON-1H

Eureka Energy Limited ("Eureka") is pleased to provide the market with an update on operations at the Weston-1H Well which is within the Sugarloaf AMI and is part of the Sugarkane Gas and Condensate Field.

Weston - 1H

Eureka has been advised by the Operator, Texas Crude Energy Inc ("TCEI"), that although it has not been possible to recover the fish, a clean out assembly has washed past it and continued to the well TD at 15,685ft. The production liner is presently being deployed past the restriction and preparations will then be made to cement the liner in place.

The well will have approximately 3,000 ft of horizontal hole within the Austin Chalk and is likely to be fracture stimulated and then tested before being tied into production.

During the fishing operations the well continued to exhibit indications of gas charge, with gas readings of over 2,000 units and flares of up to 40 ft having been observed when circulating out the well following shut in periods.

The well is targeting the upper chalk interval that has produced gas and condensate in three wells in the adjacent acreage and at the Kowalik-1H well. The well design continues to build upon the knowledge gained from recent operations and offset data. - Web Site

SALE OF CIBALIUNG GOLD PROJECT

Arc Exploration Limited ("ARX") advises that it has entered into a binding Heads of Agreement with PT Aneka Tambang Tbk ("Antam") and ANZ Bank for the sale of the Cibaliung Gold Project in Indonesia ("Cibaliung").

The key terms of the sale are summarised as follows:

The sale is conditional upon various approvals including, ARX shareholder approval, and is the culmination of an extensive process that commenced in early 2008 to secure a farm-in partner. ARX was unable to secure a farm-in partner or funding for Cibaliung and accordingly, in co-operation with ANZ Bank, a sale process was initiated in the latter part of 2008.

The sale will relieve ARX of its obligation to fund Cibaliung and to service the current debt to the ANZ.

The indicative timetable of the sale is as follows:

- Execution of binding Heads of Agreement:

9 February 2009
- ARX Shareholder Meeting to approve sale and associated matters: Late March 2009
- Completion following Indonesian regulatory processes and approvals: Around 30 June 2009

Following completion of the sale, ARX will seek to build on its demonstrated exploration strengths in Indonesia.

Earn-In Joint Venture with Universal Resources Limited Mt Isa District, Queensland

Deep Yellow Ltd (DYL) is pleased to announce that they have reached agreement with Universal Resources Limited (Universal) on the terms of an Earn-In Joint Venture on EPM 14367 located 20 km northeast of Mt Isa.

The tenement contains a number of surface radiometric anomalies in the Haslingden Group rocks, the host to all major uranium deposits and occurrences in the immediate Mt Isa area. The tenement is located 10 km north of Summit's/Paladin's Anderson deposit and southeast of their Valhalla, Skal and Bikini deposits.

Historic exploration over the tenement was typical of the area and comprises surface trenching and shallow RC/diamond drilling. Surface values for grab samples range up to 4,000 ppm U3O8 with visible carnotite mineralisation seen at surface. Universal identified 17 surface anomalies of varying intensity that need to be evaluated further. Extensive zones of hematite-silica-carbonate alteration associated with anomalous uranium values are typical of uranium deposits in the district.

DYL plan to carry out an RC percussion drilling programme as follow-up to the better anomalies.

The principal commercial terms of the Earn-In Agreement are as follows:
