NORWEST ENERGY NL

CLIFF HEAD-1 BEING EVALUATED AT TOTAL DEPTH AFTER DRILLING 5 M OIL COLUMN... Norwest Energy NL advises that the Cliff Head 1 exploration well reached Total Depth of 1499 metres on the 29th December 2001. Wirelog interpretation indicated that the well intersected an oil column between 1278.5 and 1283.5 metres below the rotary table (RT), immediately below the Kockatea Shale, which constitutes the regional seal. A fluid sample obtained from this five-metre interval confirmed the presence of oil. The excellent reservoir quality, which is better than expected, has encouraged the Joint Venture to further evaluate the commercial significance of the discovery. By 00:01 hours (Western Standard Time) on 31st December 2001, the Cliff Head 1 well was in the process of being plugged back to the 13 (3/8) inch casing shoe at 403 metres RT and preparations were underway to drill a sidetrack hole to intersect the oil bearing reservoir at a higher structural elevation with a bottom hole location approximately one kilometre to the north-northeast of the surface location. Revised mapping of the prospect, incorporating the Cliff Head-1 data, indicates that there could be in excess of 70 million barrels of oil in-place updip from the discovery. It is estimated that it will take 10 days to drill the sidetrack well and evaluate the structure's updip potential. ASX Announcement

The well is a long reach, appraisal/development well, drilled into the field's previously undrilled southern culmination, from an existing surface production facility. Initial pressure measurements suggest that the gas-bearing sands at Saltfleetby-6 are at, or close to, original reservoir pressure which is consistent with the reservoir model now being used to develop the field. It is anticipated that the well will be brought on to full production during January, 2002. ASX Announcement

VOYAGER ENERGY LIMITED

Log interpretation indicated an oil column between 1278.5 and 1283.5 metres, immediately below the Kockatea Shale which constitutes the regional seal. A fluid sample obtained from this five metre interval confirmed the presence of oil. The excellent reservoir quality, which is better than expected, has encouraged the Joint Venture to further evaluate the commercial significance of the discovery. By 00:01 hours (Western Standard Time) on 31 December the Cliff Head-1 well was in the process of being plugged back to the 13 3/8 inch casing shoe at 403m and preparations were underway to drill a sidetrack hole to intersect the oil bearing reservoir at a higher structural elevation with a bottom hole location approximately one km to the north-northeast of the surface location. Revised mapping of the prospect, incorporating the Cliff Head-1 data, indicates that there could be in excess of 70 MMBO in-place updip from the discovery. It is estimated that it will take 10 days to drill the sidetrack well and evaluate the structure's updip potential. ASX Announcement

“Tamara has a solid background in the mining industry, having previously worked with the Association of Mining & Exploration Companies and we believe that her background as an industry spokesperson with experience in media liaison, political lobbying, industry issues management, membership recruitment, financial management and strategic planning will help position the Council in the difficult times our industry is now facing. More recently, Tamara was the CEO of The Wine Industry Association of Western Australia.

The Council will continue to focus on issues affecting its members, with particular emphasis on the need for amendment of the current Federal tax regime to allow tax flow through for exploration companies and the marketing of gold as a value added product.”

BEACONSFIELD GOLD NL

Strong Turnaround in Mine Performance

The turnaround that occurred in the September quarter continued strongly in the month of October. Over the four months from July to October 2001, Beaconsfield Gold’s approximate direct 48.49% share of net operating cash flow (after capital expenditure but before corporate overheads and debt servicing) has been positive $1.7 million. In comparison, over the previous 21 months of commissioning, from October 1999 to June 2001, the company’s approximate direct share of net operating cash flow was negative $6.4 million.

While the Beaconsfield gold mine is still far from achieving feasibility cash flow levels, the mine at long last is starting to show its potential as a high grade, low cost operation.

Looking Forward

The mine is now making some money, BankWest have declared their exposure to the company as a loan workout and the probability of Beaconsfield Gold being recapitalised, as a result, is greatly enhanced.

There is still a lot of work to be done but the existing board is more committed and more determined than ever to succeed in its efforts to restore value to all existing shareholders.

As I said in my last letter to shareholders, the first thing that must be done is for shareholders to send the strongest possible message to the Catto group that their efforts to oust the existing directors at this most crucial time in the company’s history are extremely unwelcome.

You may receive solicitations from the Catto faction encouraging you to change your vote. We advise that you ignore their claims.

Thank you once again. I look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible at the Beaconsfield Community Hall on 18 December.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS... When I wrote the Chairman's Statement for the 2001 Annual Report, I noted that the Company's financial position had been badly eroded by the poor performance of the oxide heap leach operation and the realisation that the Work-in-Progress was substantially overstated resulting in a short-fall in expected revenue of approximately $4 million. These setbacks combined with the need to take other financial steps to secure the Company's Fosterville lease have reduced the Company's cash resources to unsustainable levels and precluded continuation with the Deep Sulphide drilling program.

NAMAKWA DIAMOND COMPANY NL

Please find following copy a document entitled "Summary of South African Tax" which is referred to in the disclosure document lodged with ASX earlier today.... The South African income tax system was primarily based on the source basis of taxation. In terms of this system, income sourced or deemed to be sourced in South Africa was taxable in South Africa. A residence based system of taxation has now been introduced by way of the Revenue Laws Amendment Act No 59 of 2000 ("2000 Act"), in terms of which South African residents will be taxed on their worldwide income. Certain categories of income and activities undertaken outside of South Africa will be exempt from taxation. The source basis of taxation will, however, still be applicable to non-residents ie, non-residents will be taxed on income from a source within or deemed to be within South Africa. All foreign dividends received by or accruing to South African residents are subject to foreign dividends tax with effect from February 23, 2000. A resident for this purpose is any natural person who is ordinarily resident in South Africa and any other person which is incorporated, or has its place of effective management, in South Africa. The 2000 Act extends the definition of a "resident" to include persons who are not only ordinarily resident in South Africa but satisfy a physical presence test (ie are present in South Africa for certain prescribed periods of time) and to persons other than natural persons who are established or formed in South Africa, but specifically excluding an international headquarter company, as defined in the 2000 Act. In terms of the 2000 Act, a foreign dividend will include a dividend received by or which accrued to any person from any company which is either a foreign entity (ie a person other than a natural person or trust) which is (a) not a resident; or (b) which is a resident but is not being treated as a resident as a result of the application of a double taxation treaty; or (c) not a resident to the extent that the dividend is declared from profits derived by such company before such company became a resident. There are certain exemptions from foreign dividends tax including: ASX Announcement

AUSTRALIAN GOLD COUNCIL

The JPMorgan September Quarter Hedging Review released today indicates that hedging by gold producers for that quarter totaled 36.5 million ounces at A$591 per ounce. This was down 1.4 million ounces or 3.7% on the June quarter figure of 37.9 million ounces at A$627 per ounce.

Reductions totaled 1.8 million ounces by 13 companies and there are additions of 0.4 million ounces by 5 companies.

Lihir increased its book by 133,000 ounces and Normandy NFM and Hill 50 by approximately 90,000 ounces. The largest decrease for the quarter was Normandy Mining which was down 182,000 ounces to 9.59 million ounces; Newcrest 153,000 ounces to 6.57 million ounces and Sons of Gwalia 75,000 ounces to 3.35 million ounces. Hedging now covers 43% of Australian gold reserves – this is down from 46% in the June quarter.

The impact on the September 11 increase in the gold price has not had a major impact on the September quarter because the rally was fairly short lived and the A$ gold price declined in the quarter from A$600 to A$525.

In commenting on the figures released today, Australian Gold Council CEO Mr Greg Barns said:

As predicted, the primary objective Belumai Formation sandstones were found to extend westward a distance of 3.5km from the Kambuna 1 gas/condensate discovery and to be gas bearing. Interpretation of electrical log data, the presence of significant gas shows while drilling, the evaluation of the drillstem test pressures, and geological correlation with Kambuna 1 indicates the presence of a minimum gas column of 350 vertical feet between Kambuna 1 and West Kambuna 1. The Belumai Formation sandstones did not flow hydrocarbons during testing at West Kambuna 1 due to an inferred lack of permeability at the well location. ASX Announcement
