CASPIAN OIL & GAS

Eight Additional Licences in the Kyrgyz Republic

Caspian Oil & Gas Limited subsidiary JSC Textonic has been awarded eight exploration licences covering approximately 7,200sq km in the Naryn Basin in the Kyrgyz Republic (see map). Caspian and Santos International Operations Pty Ltd have agreed that these licences will be included under the existing staged farmin arrangement whereby Santos can earn up to an 80% interest in these licences by carrying expenditure of up to US$24 million by June 2009. As a result, Caspian will continue to be carried through a significant work programme but in a larger number of licences.

The Naryn Basin is located between two proven hydrocarbon producing basins: the Fergana Basin (where 9 of the Santos/Caspian Joint Venture’s 10 existing licences are located) and the prolific Tarim Basin in China. The eight new licences cover most of the Naryn Basin. JSC Textonic now has the dominant acreage position in two Kyrgyz basins, with 18 licences covering 24,000sq km. - Web Site

New Gold Resource, Positive Drilling Results from the Munda Prospect

The positive results returned from drilling programs completed on the Munda gold deposit up to December 2005 have lead to a revised structural interpretation of the mineralised lenses and a new resource model. The resource model, completed by independent resource consultants Hellman and Schofield of Perth has resulted in a JORC classified resource of 512,000 tonnes @ 2.80 g/t Au for 46,300 contained ounces of gold at a 1g/t Au cutoff (Table 2), to approximately 130m below surface.

The recent program of drilling completed in February 2006 was designed to test both nickel and gold targets. One hole (WDD123) was drilled to test an EM conductor down plunge of high grade mineralisation on the main nickel lens approximately 300m below surface (Figure 2). This hole intersected sulphides on the ultramafic-mafic contact approximately 80m to the east of the deepest intersection previously drilled at Munda (MND1705A - 5.5m @ 3.87% Ni).

The results from WDD123 have been highly encouraging with an intersection of 6m @ 3.66% Ni (including 3.18m @ 5.67% Ni)........ - Web Site

HARDMAN RESOURCES

Resolution of Mauritanian Dispute

Hardman Resources Limited (Hardman) notes the statements issued by the Government of Mauritania and Woodside Petroleum Ltd (“Woodside”) that they have reached an agreement to settle a dispute over supplementary agreements (“Avenants”) to four of its Production Sharing Contracts (“PSCs”) for Area A, Area B, Area C Block 2 and Area C Block 6 offshore Mauritania. The PSCs are operated by a Woodside subsidiary on behalf of the relevant joint ventures, which include Hardman.

The basis for the resolution is an agreement in principle to amend the PSCs, to be negotiated in detail in due course, which would then supersede the Avenants. Importantly, the exploration periods under the PSCs are upheld in accordance with all previous agreements.

Hardman and the other co-venturers have been advised by Woodside of the agreement but under the terms of the PSC unanimous consent is required to amend the PSCs and individual company evaluation of the terms is continuing. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Renewed inflation fears left stocks mixed Thursday as new data on the nation's gross domestic product bolstered the Federal Reserve's view that the economy remains strong.

The economy was lethargic in the final quarter of 2005, but fresher readings suggest a rebound since then.
Gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of just 1.7 percent in the October-to-December quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. It was the most sluggish showing in three years but still a tad better than the 1.6 percent estimated a month ago. The slight upgrade reflected stronger inventory building by businesses than previously thought.

Precious metals futures closed at new multiyear peaks on Thursday, powered by heavy fund buying across a range of commodities that was driven by positive market outlooks and thoughts of even higher prices.

Platinum hit an all-time peak atop $1,100 an ounce as funds piled in to boost their returns at quarter's end, while gold and silver futures shot to 25- and 22-year highs, respectively, and palladium scored its highest level in nearly four years.

Analysts have said silver could reach $12 or even $15 in the medium-term, if the ETF eventually attracts copious buying of the metal.

Compass Raises Funds for its next steps in building a Mid-Tier Mining Company

The Board of Compass Resources NL is pleased to announce that it has agreed to issue 5.5 million shares to each of two major USA based funds; Harbinger Capital Partners and Citadel Investment Group. This issue totalling 11 million shares is expected to occur on 6 April 2006. It has also been agreed that Compass will issue a further 5.5 million shares to each of these funds, subject to shareholder approval being obtained at an EGM proposed for early May 2006. Harbinger Capital Partners and Citadel Investment Group have thus each agreed to subscribe for 11 million shares in two tranches making a total of 22 million new shares to be issued.

The placement price is A$1.85 per share. Net proceeds (should the full subscription be approved by shareholders) after all fees and expenses will be A$38.66 million, and will be used principally for funding construction of the Company’s Base Metals Oxide Project in the Northern Territory and to further accelerate the Company’s uranium exploration program in the area. The Board believes that this capital raising places the Company in a strong financial position to execute its development plans and that any future equity funding will be quite limited. Other initiatives still in negotiation including off-take and completion undertakings, will ensure Compass has more than adequate appropriately structured funding to implement the Company’s very substantial development and exploration programs.... - Web Site

New Uranium Anomalies Discovered - Field Work to Commence in April

New Uranium Anomalies

Matrix Metals Limited (Matrix) is pleased to announce that exploration work completed in recent months in the Company’s large tenement block area to the south of Cloncurry has been successful in identifying a host of new uranium anomalies. The anomalies are widespread across a very large area (refer Figure 1) and in regard to future exploration success, compliment the extensive occurrences of uranium mineralisation and anomalism previously announced by the Company.

As reported on 20 February 2006, Matrix has formed a joint venture with Deep Yellow Limited (DYL) whereby DYL have the right to earn a majority equity position in the uranium rights on Matrix tenement holding. DYL have advised Matrix that field work programs on Matrix’s tenements are scheduled to commence in April......- Web Site

STELLAR RESOURCES

Stellar to accelerate exploration at the Warrior uranium prospect.

Stellar is pleased to report that work continues to confirm the potential of the Warrior uranium occurrence in central South Australia. The Warrior palaeochannel system was partly drill tested by PNC Exploration (Aust) Pty. Ltd (PNC), some 25 years ago.

Stellar holds a 100% beneficial interest in EL3372 which contains approx 85% of the currently known Warrior uranium mineralised zones. The adjacent tenement, EL3040, in which Toro Energy has the interest, contains the remaining 15%.

Since acquiring title to EL3372, Stellar has been active in:

assessing the historical geological data;
digitising critical portions of the existing PNC drill database;
reviewing the quality of PNC’s geochemical and geophysical logging data;
flying a ”HOISTEM” airborne electromagnetic survey to better define the geographic distribution and thickness of sediments within the Warrior palaeochannel.

These data have provided a valuable in-sight into the geometry of the already recognised channel; have identified previously unrecognised palaeochannels and areas for drill testing extensions to the known uranium mineralisation. The review of geological data has also identified potential for increasing the average uranium grade.....

ICON ENERGY LIMITED (ICN) DRILLING UPDATE BAYOU CHOCTAW, USA

Icon Energy advises that as of 28 March the Australian Mineral Interests No. 1 well had reached a depth of 8,325 feet (2538 metres) in 9.875 inch hole with the Moncla 11 drilling rig. During the past week the well continued drilling through the shallower target horizons towards the planned intermediate casing point at 8,325 feet. Resistivity and porosity logs were recorded which showed several high resistivity porous intervals over the shallow target horizons. Sidewall cores were recovered over the zones of interest which confirmed porosities in the 25-30% range and permeabilities ranging from 100 mD to exceeding 1000 mD. Sidewall cores recovered contained visible oil of 34 - 38 deg API quality. The operator, CLK Energy, Inc., has advised a preliminary oil saturated pay interval of 219 feet (67 metres) gross with net of 74 feet (23 metres) in 3 zones. A detailed log evaluation is underway, the results of which will be reported as soon as available. After logging the well a wiper trip was carried out, during which the drill string became stuck at the top of the drill collars. The drill string has been backed-off and recovered above the drill collars at a depth of 8,047 feet, which is below all the zones of interest and preparations are currently underway to set casing above the fish and drill around it to the deeper targets.

The well is programmed to drill to 9,100 feet (2777 metres) and is targeted to test proven undeveloped reserves (PUDs) as well as test deeper sands below the PUDs. - Web Site

MOUNT BURGESS

Intersection of Sulphides - Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 100%

The infill drilling programme is continuing on the Company's Base Metals Project at Kihabe in Botswana. The Company has previously drilled four wide spaced drill sections along a zinc, lead and silver soil geochemical anomaly which is 2.4km in length and strikes in a north easterly direction. The previous drilling has yielded average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 grammes per tonne of silver, with significant credits of copper and vanadium. Some 4,000 metres are expected to be drilled in the current infill drilling programme for the purpose of upgrading this zone of mineralization to a JORC compliant resource, down to a vertical depth of 150 metres.

Drilling is being conducted on a section which is 100m south west of the most western section so far drilled (see diagram attached). To date two holes have been completed which intersected sulphides as anticipated.

Drill Hole	Northing	Easting	Orientation (dip/magnetic)	From (m)	To (m)	Description
KRC013*	7821527	500731	-60°/339°	11	46	Oxidised with boxwork after sulphides

				46	72	Disseminated sulphides

				72	98	Minor zones of fresh sulphides
*Designed to test for mineralization at 50m depth - previously reported on

KRC014*	7821510	500764	-60°/339°	12	51	Oxidised with boxwork after sulphides

				51	129	Sulphides/disseminated sulphides
				129	149	Decreasing to trace sulphides
*Designed to test for mineralization at 100m depth - will be terminated at 155 metres

Consistent with previous drilling the sulphides were intersected in sandstones on the contact with a dolomite. Drilling is continuing with one further hole planned on this section to test for mineralization down to 150m depth.

Assay results from these holes will be announced to the market as soon as they are available.... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Investors put off major buying decisions Monday, leaving stocks mixed as Wall Street awaited the results of the first Federal Reserve rate-setting meeting chaired by Ben Bernanke.

Gold futures closed at a three-week high Monday, silver struck a new 22-year peak and copper traded at its highest ever level, as the dollar weakened ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting.

Adding to the uptrend, Citigroup raised its forecasts for gold, copper, nickel and aluminum and said metals are entering the "sweet spot of the Commodity Supercycle." Silver surged for a fifth straight session on hopes that a silver-backed investment vehicle will soon launch and create greater investment interest in the gray metal.

NEW GUINEA GOLD / MACMIN SILVER

MT NAKRU TRENCH INTERSECTS 55m @ 4.79g/t GOLD,
Including 15m @ 16.01g/t gold

Vancouver 27 March 2006. A new area of gold mineralisation has been encountered to the northwest of previously defined copper and gold mineralisation at Mt Nakru. Separate trench intersections included 55m @ 4.79g/t gold and 15m @ 1.86g/t gold.

Approximately 6kms of bulldozer/excavator trenching was completed at the Mt Nakru copper/gold prospect in late 2005. Results are available only for the first half of the program and all results should be available and reported, within 4 weeks.

The Mt Nakru porphyry copper/gold property in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has effective ownership of 75% New Guinea Gold (NGG) and 25% Vangold Resources. The property was described in a News Release dated November 10th 2005, and additional information is available on NGG's web site - www.newguineagold.ca.

Previous exploration included nine drill holes at the Nakru One Prospect to the SW of the above gold intersection. Best results included 94m @ 0.46% copper and 0.43g/t gold and 74m @ 0.78% copper. Previous trenching encountered 51m @ 2.2g/t gold and 45m @ 2.5g/t gold. Exploration at Mt Nakru is severely hindered by a thick blanket of volcanic ash up to 4m thick which obscures the bedrock and mineralised areas........

TESTING OF EM ANOMALY GIVES POSITIVE DRILL INTERCEPT AT O’GRADY NICKEL PROSPECT

In September 2005 Titan obtained a number of historic geophysical surveys (ground and down hole electromagnetic (EM), and ground magnetic data) from WMC, including single component down hole EM data from O’Grady. Re-processing of these data indicated an untested EM anomaly off drill hole WID2398.

Re-entry of this hole, and re-surveying using three component down hole EM confirmed the anomaly and positioned it on the ultramafic-mafic contact, below previous drilling.

An existing RC drill hole was re-entered and extended to 355m by RC and diamond drilling in February 2006 to intersect the EM anomaly and the basal ultramafic-mafic contact (Figure 3). This drill hole (WDD069) intersected 0.6m of massive sulphide on the basal contact, and has returned a highly encouraging intercept of 1.76m @ 4.27% Ni (including 0.58m @ 9.83% Ni) from 316.52m down hole Web Site

Launch of Tender Process for JV Partner

Grange Resources announces major step forward for US$1.2b iron ore pellet project Launch of global tender process for joint venture partner

The development of Grange Resources’ (ASX: GRR) US$1.2 billion Australian-Malaysian iron ore pellet project has taken a major step forward with the launch today of an international tender process for joint venture partners for the project.

Grange is seeking one or more joint venture partners to contribute to the development of the project through direct cash funding and provision of services.

The tender process is being managed by Azure Capital and is expected to take approximately 6 months to complete. The tender process will be open to all qualified parties with no exclusive or preferred relationship currently in place.

Project construction is expected to commence in January 2007 (subject to statutory approvals) and first production is scheduled for early 2010.

The project is expected to produce 6.8 million tonnes per annum of iron ore pellets for supply to steelmakers using blast furnace or direct reduction production processes.

The mine will be located at Southdown, near Albany in Western Australia. Iron concentrate will be transported by slurry pipeline to Albany Port before being shipped to Kemaman in Malaysia where the pellet plant will be located. Grange has adopted a dual location strategy for the project to maximise efficiency, take advantage of exceptional infrastructure at Kemaman and gain best possible proximity to Asian steel production centres.- Web Site

NEW MINERAL SANDS APPLICATION EXTENDS POTENTIAL OF SHALLOW COOLJARLOO STRANDS

A new 84sq km tenement application E70/2882 has been made directly north of Image’s Cooljarloo tenement (E70/2636, Image earning 70%). Within the northwest part of this application (26sq km) Image is the sole applicant, while the remaining 58sq km overlaps a previous application – see attached map.

The 26sq km part of the Cooljarloo North tenement is considered to be highly prospective as a previous modern high resolution aeromagnetic survey over part of this area has delineated 17km of interpreted heavy mineral (HM) strands that have significant magnetic amplitudes ranging from less than 1.0nano Teslas (nT) to greater than 2nT but importantly have interpreted near-surface responses. These strands are thought to be a northern continuation of the previously reported (December 2005 quarterly report) 35 AHD resource of 30.8Mt at 4% HM on the western part of the Cooljarloo tenement where a number of shallow high-grade intersections have been made including 5m @ 20% HM. Also Ticor Limited, at the Jurien mine to the north, has reported a resource of 53Mt @ 4.7% HM (Ticor Limited 2004 Annual Report) which appears to be the northern extension of the interpreted shallow strands within Image’s new application...... - Web Site

MONTO MINERALS

REPORT ON ADDITIONAL PRODUCT FOR MONTO’S INDUSTRIAL MINERALS PROJECT AHEAD OF AIM ADMISSION

Encouraging preliminary technical advice has strengthened the probability of adding titanomagnetite to the multi-product range of the Goondicum Industrial Minerals Project, Monto Minerals Limited (Monto) announced today.

Monto Executive Chairman Peter Slaughter said that the company was now targeting early May for admission of Monto to the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in London (previously early April), to allow for the possible inclusion of the titanomagnetite testwork results in market presentations and to avoid the Easter holiday period.

“Commercialisation of titanomagnetite as a fourth product could increase the project’s already robust economics,” Mr Slaughter said.

“Initial pilot tests have demonstrated that the Goondicum titanomagnetite could be used to effectively wash coal. Further pilot work will examine the optimisation of recovery rates for titanomagnetite in the coal preparation process.”

“Following completion of the pilot test work, Monto intends to undertake the key bulk trial in a full scale plant. Unsolicited approaches from potential customers have previously been received to trial the product if pilot tests are successful.”

“We expect to have a report on the pilot testing within the next two weeks.”.....- Web Site

Bauxite Project Update

United Kimberley Diamonds NL (UKD) is pleased to announce the delineation of new bauxite occurrences in the North Kimberley region of Western Australia. The results of a helicopter borne reconnaissance sampling survey have just been received and show the existence of high grade bauxite on the Company’s exploration leases in the area.

The program was undertaken following a remote sensing survey which identified potential bauxite mineralisation over extensive areas within the Company’s 100% owned leases (fig 2). The reconnaissance survey took a number of surface grab samples that confirmed the existence of high grade bauxite in parts of these target areas.

The Company believes there is now ample evidence to support the implementation of a stage1 drilling program on the most prospective areas. Wider project studies have also commenced.... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street closed out the week with modest gains Friday, though trading was erratic as encouraging signs of a cooling housing market conflicted with signals of economic strength and left no real clue as to the Federal Reserve's next move on interest rates.
New home sales fell by the biggest amount in almost nine years in February while home prices declined for a fourth straight month.
However, a surge in big-ticket factory orders raised questions about whether demand would hold steady, possibly increasing pricing pressure and the chance for higher inflation. The Fed meets Monday and Tuesday, and is expected to raise the nation's benchmark rate by a quarter percentage point to 4.75 percent.

Gold futures posted a sharp gain Friday due to by fund buying encouraged by several factors - a "catch-up" to recent silver gains, reduced rate-hike expectations after a weak U.S. housing report, the strong tone lately in crude oil, plus chart-based factors, traders and analysts said.

Silver, meanwhile, remained underpinned by anticipation that a silver exchange-traded fund soon will get final approval.

Japan will expand the scope of its rare metal reserves to include such substances as platinum, indium and rare earth metals as increased demand from China has triggered concern about global supply shortages, according to government sources.

The London stock market will seek to build on Friday's five-year closing high next week, when investors focus on a batch of economic data and a smattering of corporate trading updates.

MITHRIL

Coolac Project

Mithril Resources Ltd is pleased to announce significant nickel, platinum, gold and base metal results from its 100% owned Coolac Project in New South Wales. The project, located approximately 20km east northeast of Tumut, covers a large north south trending ultramafic belt known as the Coolac Serpentinite.
A number of historical chromite, base metal and gold workings occur throughout the licence area, the most significant being the Tumut Gold Mine and McAlpine Mine. Historical production for the rhyolite hosted Tumut Gold occurrence is recorded at 97.5t @ 5.3% copper, 1.1% zinc, 4.6g/t gold and 137g/t silver. The sphalerite - chalcopyrite rich McAlpine Mine is hosted within chloritic and talc rich rocks which form part of a reaction zone between serpentinite and granodiorite.

Recent reconnaissance exploration over the project area by Mithril included stream sediment sampling, geological mapping, rockchip sampling and evaluation of historical workings.

Analytical results from grab samples taken by Mithril returned values up to 10.4% zinc and 5% copper from the McAlpine Mine area. The samples correlate with the grades recorded from the historical production and the company will evaluate the historical working to determine the tonnage potential for high grade zinc and copper mineralisation.

Rock chip samples taken by Mithril from the Tumut Gold Mine returned values up to 12g/t gold and 183g/t silver in an altered rhyolite. Ferruginous rock samples collected by Mithril situated 400m away from the adit have assayed 2.6g/t gold and 42g/t silver suggesting continuity of the mineralisation over at least this strike length. - Web Site

WAROONA MINE DEVELOPMENT, SOUTH WEST, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Iluka Resources Limited today announced capital approval by its Board for the development of the Waroona mineral sands mining operation in the South West of Western Australia. The Waroona project is one of a number of new mineral sands projects planned in Western Australia to provide feedstock into existing production facilities so as to provide sales volumes, especially of ilmenite and synthetic rutile, to global customers.

Capital expenditure for Waroona is A$39 million. This amount comprises stripping of overburden, a significant proportion for the upgrading and relocation of a wet concentrator plant (which will be used subsequently in other mine developments), infrastructure and project management costs.

Waroona contains a proven reserve of 8.4 million tonnes of ore at a heavy mineral (HM) grade of 10.2%. It is principally an ilmenite deposit, with a proportion suitable as feedstock to synthetic rutile (SR) kilns and the remainder suitable for sale as ilmenite. The development of Waroona forms part of Iluka’s overall production and mine sequencing planning for both its Western Australian and total Australian production base. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street had a renewed case of interest rate anxiety Thursday, with stocks falling on strong economic news and a jump in oil prices that heightened worries about inflation.
A 5.2 percent upswing in monthly sales of existing homes eased worries about a slowdown in the housing market but raised fears that the Federal Reserve will continue boosting interest rates to stave off price inflation. The Fed's Open Market Committee meets next week.

Oil prices settled more than $2 higher Thursday, after touching $64 a barrel on domestic and Nigerian supply worries. Many market observers attributed the price spike to a delayed reaction to Wednesday's Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, which revealed a larger-than-expected drop in crude stockpiles within the United States.

Gold futures fell Thursday to post their third losing session in a row, but prospects for higher demand lifted silver and copper prices to new heights.

Silver futures remained "the star" in the New York precious-metals complex Thursday, with more follow-through buying occurring in the wake of a ruling earlier in the week from the Securities and Exchange Commission allowing a silver exchange-traded fund to list on the American Stock Exchange, traders and analysts said.
The still-pending Barclays Global Investors ETF is designed to allow investors to buy or sell shares similar to a stock, only the ETFs closely track the day-to-day movement of the commodity. The ETF shares are backed by silver stored on behalf of the trust, meaning the launch of the shares also means more physical demand for the metal.

MOUNT BURGESS

Intersection of Sulphides – Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 100%

The infill drilling programme has now commenced on the Company's Base Metals Project at Kihabe in Botswana. The Company has previously drilled four wide spaced drill sections along a zinc, lead and silver soil geochemical anomaly which is 2.4km in length and strikes in a north easterly direction. The previous drilling has yielded average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 grammes per tonne of silver, with significant credits of copper and vanadium.

Some 4,000 metres are expected to be drilled in the current infill drilling programme for the purpose of upgrading this zone of mineralization to a JORC compliant resource.

The first hole in the infill drilling programme, drilled on a section which is 100m south west of the most western section so far drilled (see diagram attached) has intersected sulphides as expected.

Drill Hole	Northing	Easting	Orientation (dip/magnetic)	From (m)	To (m)	Description
KRC013	7821527	500731	-60°/339°	11	46	Oxidised with boxwork after sulphides
				46	72	Disseminated sulphides
				72	98	Minor zones of fresh sulphides

Consistent with previous drilling the sulphides were intersected in sandstones on the contact with a dolomite, which in this hole was at 98m. The hole was terminated in dolomite at 102m. Drilling is continuing on this section.

Assay results from this hole will be announced to the market as soon as they are available.

Metallurgical test work on previous drill results from this project have shown that zinc and copper sulphides are intimately associated with each other in the form of sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Lead and silver are associated with galena, which in turn is associated with sphalerite.

APEX MINERALS

China & Western Australia Drilling Programmes

The first half of 2006 is gearing up to be an active one for Apex and its farm-in partners with a succession of planned drilling programmes targeting gold, copper and uranium providing several opportunities for discovery.

China:

In China, preparations are at an advanced stage to drill next month two prime targets for porphyry copper and epithermal gold.

Geophysical programmes will fine tune hole positioning ahead of a series of drill holes to test for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation at Qiongheba and for epithermal gold at Yiwu.

The targets at Qiongheba and Yiwu are just two in a pipeline of projects that Apex is evaluating for major mineralised systems within the eastern Xinjiang region of the 5,000 kilometre Altaid – Tianshan orogenic belt.

Western and eastern extremes of this belt host several major gold and copper deposits including Kumptor, Muruntau and Oyu Tolgoi making it, for gold, one of the world’s best endowed provinces outside of South Africa’s Witwatersrand. However, within China, it is relatively under-explored and therefore represents one of the world’s most prospective exploration frontiers.

In addition to the planned drilling, over 20 more alteration anomalies identified using satellite based technology will be inspected in April by Apex and its eastern Xinjiang exploration alliance partner, Canadian mining house Falconbridge Limited. Based on previous target review expeditions it is expected that at least one or more ground acquisitions will eventuate..........

SPECIAL UPDATE OF USA DRILLING OPERATIONS AT BAYOU CHOCTAW

Australian Mineral Interests Well No.1 located in the Victory Financial Lease at Bayou Choctaw is drilling ahead at 7849 feet (2393 metres). The first main target sandstone reservoir is anticipated below 8000 feet (2440 metres

While drilling the interval between 7700 to 7773 feet a drilling break increase from 10 feet per hour to 193 feet per hour was encountered and was accompanied by an increase in gas readings from a background reading of 22 to 1070 parts per million and hydrocarbon fluorescence in the rock cuttings recovered. This increase in the rate of penetration normally would be indicative of good reservoir sands over the 73 foot interval and the gas shows indicative of hydrocarbons. This zone will be evaluated using wireline logs prior to running casing. The main objectives have not yet been penetrated.

The well is programmed to drill to 9,100 feet (2777 metres) and is targeted to test proven undeveloped reserves (PUDs) as well as test deeper sands below the PUDs. - Web Site

Horizon Oil advises that as of 21 March the Australian Mineral Interests No. 1 well was drilling ahead at a depth of 7,863 feet in 9.875 inch hole with the Moncla 11 drilling rig. During the past week the well has penetrated several highly permeable sands which required the operator to take measures to cure lost circulation. The well has now also penetrated the shallower target horizons and experienced strongly elevated gas readings and cuttings fluorescence over an interval from 7,700 to 7,773 feet. The full significance of these observations will be determined after electric logs are run at the end of this hole section which is prognosed around 8,200 feet.

BERWYNDALE SOUTH PROJECT – MARCH 2006

OVERALL PROJECT STATUS

QGC’s first commercial gas field development is progressing well, with pre-commissioning and commissioning activities now underway at Berwyndale South. The project is on budget and ahead of schedule with early gas sales expected in April 2006.

Production testing has confirmed the field’s capacity to supply existing contracts, with total field production topping 4.5 million cubic feet per day (cfd) from only 10 wells (based on peak weekly average flow rates). This is enough gas to supply around 40% of the gas required for the CS Energy contract, which is reassuring given that five of these wells only commenced production testing after mid-January.

QGC is contracted to supply 4 petajoules (PJ) a year to CS Energy from 31 July 2006. Gas sales to Braemar Power Partners of a further 4 PJ a year are scheduled to commence in October 2006, bringing total annual gas sales from the Berwyndale South Gasfield to at least 8 PJ a year. This total could rise to 11.7 PJ a year if the options to increase gas supplies under the respective contracts were exercised.

Highlights:

The three best performing development wells have achieved peak weekly average flow rates of over 800,000 cfd, with Berwyndale South # 16 recording a daily peak of over one million cfd.
Agility has completed the hot tap into the Roma to Brisbane Gas Pipeline (RBP) and final connection to the market is expected by the end of March.
Welding of the 14 kilometre (km) export pipeline was completed in January and laying of the pipe is complete. Work is now progressing on the gas meter station.
The drilling program to meet the CS Energy contract is now nearing completion with 24 of 25 wells drilled and 14 wells completed for production testing.
Testing, purging and commissioning of the gas gathering system is underway.
Independent certifiers Netherland Sewell & Associates Inc (NSAI) increased QGC’s share of Proved and Probable (2P) Reserves at Berwyndale South (PL 201, PLA 211 and PLA 212) by 25%, bringing total 2P Reserves to 209.6 PJ. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks finished an erratic session lower Tuesday, with a conflicting report on wholesale inflation and questions about the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy creating uncertainty for investors. The Labor Department's producer price index fell 1.4 percent, the sharpest decline in three years. However, so-called core PPI, with volatile food and fuel prices removed, rose 0.3 percent, slightly higher than Wall Street expected. A speech from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke Monday night did little to calm those fears, as the new Fed chairman gave no sign whether monetary policy makers would continue raising rates.

U.S. benchmark silver futures shot to a 22-year high on speculative buying on Tuesday after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved rule changes for a silver exchange-traded fund.

New High Grade Results From Athena

The announcement details new high grade results returned from the recent Athena Lode drilling at the Company’s Trident Project at Higginsville in Western Australia. Better results from the latest program include 3m @ 63 g/t gold, 3m @ 18.2 g/t gold and 4m @ 8.3 g/t gold. The two higher grade results come from an area of multi-ounce intersections and define a very high grade zone of the Athena Lodes that lies just 200m away from existing underground development.

Also included in the announcement are the results of encouraging new Athena-style intersections that suggest possible new Athena Lodes away from the main body of mineralisation. An area for follow up exploration drilling! - Web Site

WEEKLY UPDATE OF USA DRILLING OPERATIONS AT BAYOU CHOCTAW

Australian Mineral Interests Well No.1 located in the Victory Financial Lease at Bayou Choctaw is drilling ahead at 7654 feet (2,334 metres). The first target sandstone reservoir is anticipated below 8000 feet (2440 metres). Current hole size is 9 7/8 inches and some drilling mud is being lost to the formation. A decision to run casing is under consideration before drilling out from this point.

The well is programmed to drill to 9,100 feet (2777 metres) and is targeted to test proven undeveloped reserves (PUDs) as well as test deeper sands below the PUDs.

Icon Energy Limited holds a 19.00% working interest in the well through its United States subsidiary Icon Oil U.S., LLC. and is carried through the budgeted expenditure under the farmout agreement signed with CLK Energy LLC.

LOY YANG-2 WELL
PEP 166, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
PRELIMINARY POST DRILL SUMMARY

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") advises that over the weekend it completed the drilling of Loy Yang-2 in the Latrobe Valley to a total depth of 1,443 metres. A drill stem test was conducted over the interval 1,410 - 1,443 metres that recovered a small amount of gas to surface accompanied by water. The gas contained liquid hydrocarbons (C1-C4). The well was originally designed only to drill to 1,200 metres. Although we encountered some very interesting results, we could not drill below 1,443 metres, as the well was only engineered to this depth. It is our intention to drill a deeper well when a suitable rig becomes available.

LOY YANG-2 WELL HAS:

Successfully confirmed the presence of "tight gas" throughout the Strzelecki Group in this well;
Discovered the presence of free oil in the onshore Strzelecki Group in what has generally been considered as economic basement;
Shown that both oil and gas shows continued to total depth, inferring that further oil and gas are present at deeper levels, based on correlation with the Loy Yang-1A well, drilled 40 metres away;
Upgraded the potential of the Strzelecki Group throughout all of our Gippsland Basin permits for both tight gas and oil;
Extended the prospectivity of the Strzelecki Group across the Baragwanath Anticline from Boundary Creek-2, located 70 kilometres to the east of this well.
Preliminary assessment of both Boundary Creek-2 and Loy Yang-2 logs indicates that there is a strong possibility that these two wells will be able to produce gas at commercial levels after hydraulic fracturing..........

MINERAL DEPOSITS

Niakafiri Satellite Gold Mineral Resource of 317,000 Ounces

The Sabodala Gold Project is located in southeastern Senegal (west Africa), some 750 kilometres from the capital Dakar. At the satellite gold deposit of Niakafiri, a preliminary gold mineral resource of 317,000 ounces, at a 1g/t cut-off, has been estimated. Niakafiri is 2.5 kilometres south of the main Sabodala orebody (preliminary gold resource of 1.26 million ounces previously announced) (Attachment 1). The Niakafiri deposit remains substantially open in most directions and considerable further drilling will be required to determine the ultimate size of this deposit. The mineralisation has a significant oxide component.

The Phase 1 drilling programme at the Niakafiri deposit is now complete. The total programme of 46 holes for 5,055.6 metres comprised 3,699 metres of reverse circulation and 1,356.6 metres of diamond drilling. The area drilled covers 400 metres by 160 metres with holes on 40 metre spacings. Niakafiri was identified as separately prospective to Sabodala itself from work on historical data and from interpretation of the recently completed regional airborne magnetic survey.

Based on available data, an independent Mineral Resource estimate was completed by RSG Global of Perth as shown in Table 1.

The preliminary Mineral Resource estimate is 5.64 million tonnes @ 1.7g/t gold for 317,000 ounces at a 1.0g/t gold cut-off comprising 1.86 million tonnes at 1.7g/t gold for 104,000 ounces of Indicated Mineral Resource and 3.78 million tonnes at 1.7g/t gold for 213,000 ounces of Inferred Mineral Resource.

The RSG Global resource estimate includes mineralisation within a north-south trending envelope of some 400 metres length by 50 to 100 metres wide and to a depth of 170 metres. This wide zone of mineralisation remains open to the north, south and at depth.

SYDNEY GAS

Letter to Shareholders update on the offer from QGC

Given recent important developments I thought it prudent to provide you with an update to clarify those developments as they relate to your shareholding in Sydney Gas Ltd (SGL).

The Takeovers Panel decision

Takeovers Panel finds QGC’s offer documents gave rise to ‘unacceptable circumstances’
QGC must issue a new Bidders Statement that does not mislead
SGL shareholders should ignore all earlier QGC correspondence
SGL Directors will make a recommendation when an acceptable QGC Bidder’s Statement is received

The Takeovers Panel (the Panel) has ordered Queensland Gas Company Limited (QGC) to send a replacement Bidder’s Statement to shareholders of SGL as result of finding significant deficiencies in QGC’s original offer documents.

The original QGC Bidder’s Statement and a supplementary Bidder’s Statement outlining its allshare offer (the Offer) as sent to SGL shareholders on 28 February 2006 were the subject of a declaration of “unacceptable circumstances” from the Panel and should be ignored. QGC must revoke any acceptances received under the Bidder’s Statement and supplementary Bidder’s Statement.

The Panel found QGC’s documents were materially misleading and confusing in relation to:

the risks and conditionality associated with QGC’s proposal to refinance SGL’s outstanding convertible notes;
the inclusion of QGC’s revenue forecasts without a reasonable basis;
the lack of a clear description of QGC’s role in the Chinchilla power station; and
the lack of a clear distinction in relation to the division of gas reserves between QGC and its partners.

Protection of SGL shareholders’ interests

Contrary to QGC’s suggestions, as reported in the media, your Board did not seek to delay the QGC offer. Rather your Directors were acting in the best interests of SGL shareholders by requiring QGC’s disclosures to be accurate and not misleading....... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street's four-day rally paused Monday, with the major indexes finishing mixed as optimism over a potential end to the Federal Reserve's string of interest rates clashed with investors' desire to take profits after the run higher. With slowing economic growth and little evidence of inflation, the market is getting more optimistic that the Fed, which meets next Tuesday, would stop raising rates by May.

LOY YANG-2 WELL
PEP 166, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA
PRELIMINARY POST DRILL SUMMARY

Successfully confirmed the presence of "tight gas" throughout the Strzelecki Group in this well;
Discovered the presence of free oil in the onshore Strzelecki Group in what has generally been considered as economic basement;
Shown that both oil and gas shows continued to total depth, inferring that further oil and gas are present at deeper levels, based on correlation with the Loy Yang-1A well, drilled 40 metres away;
Upgraded the potential of the Strzelecki Group throughout all of our Gippsland Basin permits for both tight gas and oil;
Extended the prospectivity of the Strzelecki Group across the Baragwanath Anticline from Boundary Creek-2, located 70 kilometres to the east of this well.
Preliminary assessment of both Boundary Creek-2 and Loy Yang-2 logs indicates that there is a strong possibility that these two wells will be able to produce gas at commercial levels after hydraulic fracturing.

Structural mapping indicates that the crest of the Loy Yang Dome forms a closure at the top of the Strzelecki Group and is located up dip from the Loy Yang-2 well. The well is strategically located next to largest power station in Australia.

Loy Yang-2 will now be cased and hydraulic fractured at a later date. Design of the fracturing program will be carried out in the USA after full assessment of the logs and core data. We plan to hydraulically fracture both this well and Boundary Creek-2 in the same program. Unfortunately the fracturing equipment is not currently available due to strong activity in coal bed methane in Queensland and NSW.

Loy Yang-2 was drilled primarily to test the gas potential of a number of sandstone units in the upper part of the Strzelecki Group that were encountered in the previously drilled Loy Yang-1A well, located just 40 metres from the current site. The earlier well was drilled some 10 years ago and Lakes Oil has re-interpreted that data with the aid of advanced technology developed in the USA.

Preliminary indications are that there are gas-bearing reservoirs in the upper section encountered that have clear potential for fracture stimulation and production. Also encountered in the well, from about 880 metres downwards, are zones of free oil and positive indications of oil from that depth onwards. The oil fluorescence is not confined to the sandstone reservoirs but also occurs in claystones and carbonaceous shales.

Loy Yang-2 has encountered continuous gas readings throughout the entire Strzelecki section drilled to date in tight sandstones, coals and claystones. The overall lithology varies from fairly unconsolidated felspathic sandstones and claystones at the top to more consolidated and tighter sandstones, coals (mostly as stringers) and claystones towards the base of the well. The Strzelecki section is displaying repeated cyclic fluviatile sedimentation patterns. The sandstones in the upper part of the Strzelecki in Loy Yang-2 are generally more quartz-rich than lower down.

Two cores were cut in the upper section and are being processed for routine analysis with results expected within the next couple of weeks. Full evaluation of the electric logging and core data will continue.

Lakes Oil believes that the Strzelecki Group in this well is oil-bearing in the lower part as well as having the potential for "tight gas" in the upper reservoirs below the Latrobe/Strzelecki unconformity. Based on correlation with Loy Yang-1A and regional geological assessment of the area, we believe that there is potential for better reservoirs below. Our intention is to test these with a later well.

We believe that this well is hugely significant as it confirms not only "tight gas" but also has the potential for oil to be recovered from the Strzelecki Group i.e. from below the producing reservoirs located offshore Gippsland Basin.

COMMENCEMENT OF DRILLING, KIHABE BASE METALS PROJECT, BOTSWANA
(Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 100%)

After several weeks of delay caused by exceptionally high rainfall, an RC drilling rig has finally managed to mobilise to site to commence an infill drilling programme at the Company’s Kihabe Base Metals Project in Western Botswana.

Four widely spaced drill sections have so far been drilled by the Company along a soil geochemical zinc anomaly, 2.4 km long, yielding average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 g/t silver, with significant credits for copper (up to 0.34%) and vanadium. (Refer to the Projects Section at the Company’s website www.mountburgess.com)

Some 4,000 metres are planned to be drilled in this infill drilling programme, for the purpose of upgrading this zone of mineralisation into a JORC compliant resource.

Drilling results will be reported on as they become available.

West Pilbara Iron Ore Exploration Update

Iron ore exploration of the Project Area managed by API commenced in late 2005 with rock chip sampling of exposed CID mineralisation at the Catho Well North and Cardo Bore East targets. Selective rock chip sampling on traverses not less than 500 metres apart returned iron grades up to 57.6% Fe at Cardo Bore East and 58.3% Fe at Catho Well North. For reference, grades at the Robe River and Yandi CID mining operations are reported to be in the range 57% to 58% Fe.

API has completed a preliminary program of 14 RC holes (534 metres) at the Cardo Bore East target in December 2005, with holes drilled generally 300 to 500 metres apart over the mesa. The program was designed to provide a better understanding of the regolith and the geological characteristics of the CID mineralisation. Further drilling is now required before any interpretation of quality or tonnage potential of the Cardo Bore East target can be made. Results received from the preliminary programme are encouraging with the thickness of CID intersected between 15 and 20 metres with iron assaying between 56.6% and 60.3%...... - Web Site

OLYMPIA RESOURCES

Supplementary Announcement on Indonesian Zircon

General

Gold mines have been operating in Central Kalimantan for many decades both in hard rock and in alluvial river channels. Zircon and to a lesser extent rutile and ilmenite is generally associated with the gold in the river channels.

Recently with the increase in the value of zircon to approximately $USD750 per tonne it has become apparent to locals in Central Kalimantan that zircon can be mined in gold tailings areas and along existing rivers on a small scale to provide them with an income.

Olympia’s strategy is to immediately start buying zircon from local miners in Indonesian and on-selling it into China. Olympia will purchase assaying equipment to ensure quality control and proper payment to suppliers.

Zircon Trading

Olympia will ship concentrate purchased from miners in Indonesia to customers in China to be processed by separation plants currently operating on Hainan Island. To operate this trading business Olympia will require virtually no capital expenditure as Olympia is not mining nor processing the zircon it is selling.

To expand its trading business above 35,000 tonnes per year of concentrate Olympia will need to build a separation plant in either China or Indonesia. Olympia plans this separation plant to have the capacity to produce approximately 100,000 tonnes per year of zircon as well as lesser quantities of rutile, ilmenite and gold. Capital would be required to build this separation plant.

Exploration

The zircon trading will provide cashflow to carry out exploration and pay overheads in Indonesia as well as supplying income for Olympia Resources Ltd.

If economically mineable zircon deposits are found Olympia intends to establish one or more large scale mines mining at a rate of several hundred tonnes per hour using dredges or dry mining excavators feeding ore into wet spiral concentrators. Capital would be required to establish large scale mining operations.

The concentrates from Olympia’s mines will be exported along with zircon concentrate purchased from local miners into China. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Lower oil prices and a rebound in manufacturing activity helped Wall Street extend its rally Friday, lifting the Dow Jones industrials and the Standard & Poor's 500 index to a fresh five-year high for the fourth straight session. The major indexes each gained about 2 percent for the week.
Investors cheered a Federal Reserve report that the nation's industrial production grew 0.7 percent in February after sliding 0.3 percent the month before, with the onset of cold weather driving an upswing in utilities output.

Oil prices eased Friday after OPEC lowered its demand forecast for this year and amid signs that U.S. crude oil inventories are growing.

Copper futures closed at an all-time high Friday, posting a gain of nearly 7% for the week and silver prices closed at a fresh 22-year high as traders bet on a strong demand outlook.
Gold prices ended the session modestly lower, retreating from a high near $559, but they still posted a 2.5% rise from the week-ago close.

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") advises that at 6:00 AM today the Loy Yang - 2 well was at total depth of 1,443 metres. Currently wireline logs are being run prior to running a third drill stem test.

The Loy Yang-2 well is designed to test gas and oil indications which were observed in the original Loy Yang-1 drilled in 1994 but not tested.

Loy Yang-2 is sited on the Loy Yang Dome at the western end of the Baragwanath Anticline and some 70 kilometres west of the Boundary Creek-2 well (eastern end). Success in Loy Yang-2 would significantly upgrade the potential for further discoveries along the entire Baragwanath Anticline.

Sabodala Gold Project - Outstanding Infill Drilling Results

Recent infill drilling (Phase 2) at the company's flagship Sabodala gold project in southeast Senegal in west Africa has identified additional significant high grade mineralisation.

The drilling has further confirmed the continuity of the zone within the limits of the Phase 1 programme of 450 metres by 300 metres.

The company had previously announced a preliminary gold resource of 1.26 million ounces within the limits of the recently concluded Phase 1 programme.

Equally as significant, the Phase 2 step-out drilling programme devised to identify the down-plunge extensions of up to 240 metres to the northwest from the Phase 1 programme has intersected similar mineralised structures to the main Sabodala zone (see Attachment 1). To date, the tenor and placement of the intersections suggest to the company that it is highly likely this 240 metre zone will be open pittable. The company is currently awaiting the gold assays.

There is also significant potential for resource expansion to the north and south along the Sabodala Shear and, at depth, the resource is open in most areas beyond the limits of the completed Phase 1 programme.........

CROESUS MINING – TRADING HALT

Following the release of its interim financial results yesterday, Croesus Mining NL (ASX: CRS) today advised that the trading halt had been called to allow the Company to conduct a thorough review of gold production forecasts at its Norseman gold operations in Western Australia.

The Croesus Board is conducting a review of all aspects of the Company’s business, including its current hedge book structure, production forecasts and overall production planning moving forward which will also include a review of the requirement for capital.

Several alternative solutions are currently being reviewed and the Board considers it prudent to halt trading while this review is undertaken. This review should take some two weeks, at which time the Company will make a comprehensive announcement as to the current state and further direction of the group.

Croesus Chairman, Michael Kiernan, said further that the Norseman ore bodies are sound and the Company’s regional tenements highly prospective, however from a cost point of view the operation had simply gone off the rails even in this time of high gold prices. - Web Site

The Board of Western Areas is pleased to announce the completion of the full feasibility study for the proposed Stage Two expansion of the Flying Fox nickel mine. Stage Two includes mining the high grade Flying Fox T5 deposit in addition to the T1 deposit currently being developed. Stage Two also includes constructing a nickel concentrate plant at Cosmic Boy, 20km south of the mine and doubling the capacity of the Cosmic Boy village to accommodate 180 people.

Summary
The FFS report prepared by Independent mining consultants Golder Associates Pty Ltd (“Golder”) is based on current Ore Reserves at T1 and T5 and concludes that:

Production from the combined T1 and T5 deposits will extend over a six and a half year mine life starting in January 2007.
During 2010, annual production at Flying Fox will reach a maximum of approximately 13,500 tonnes of nickel in concentrate.
Estimated cash costs at Flying Fox will be approximately US$1.85 per pound of payable nickel over the life of the mine.
Subject to statutory approvals and securing suitable contracts, there are no material impediments to the commencement and operation of the T5 expansion.

Cash costs of US$1.85 per pound of payable nickel estimated by Golder would place Flying Fox as one of the lowest cash cost, high grade nickel sulphide mines in the world...... - Web Site

CITIGOLD

Warrior Gold Accelerated

Citigold Corporation Limited is pleased to announce that progress at the Warrior Gold Mine on the Charters Towers goldfield is being accelerated following the raising of $2.5 million through an exempt private placement within Australia.

These funds, combined with the proceeds from the February 2006 Share Purchase Plan, other recent placements, investments and a $1 million reduction in the company’s term loan debt position as announced in its 31 December 2005 Half Yearly report, has considerably strengthened Citigold Corporations ’s cash position.

Citigold Corporation’s main operational focus is to accelerate development of the Warrior gold mine to commence gold production later this year.

Over the past few months, Citigold has acquired additional underground mobile equipment and been sourcing additional staff to enable mining operations to reach maximum productivity.

The Warrior access decline is currently at 477 metres from the portal. Citigold expects to achieve an advance rate of up to 200 metres a month. The Warrior access decline will junction with the ore body in a further 470 metres length. The Warrior gold deposit is located 5km southeast of the Charters Towers centre and production is scheduled at a rate of 40,000 ounces per year at a planned cost of $350/oz.....- Web Site

WALL STREET

Bullish data on inflation and the housing market sent stocks mostly higher Thursday, with the Dow Jones industrials and Standard & Poor's 500 index posting nearly five-year highs for the third straight session. A jump in oil prices moderated the gains, however, and the Nasdaq composite index finished lower.

Oil prices rose Thursday in what analysts chalked up as a technical rally that followed earlier selling.

Inflation, after posting a big spike at the start of the year, slowed sharply in February, reflecting large declines in gasoline and other fuel prices and in the cost of clothing.
The Consumer Price Index edged up a tiny 0.1 percent last month, the Labor Department reported Thursday, after a 0.7 percent surge in January that was driven by higher energy costs.

Gold futures closed higher Thursday to extend their winning streak to four sessions as analysts remained upbeat about the precious metal's ability to reach the $600-an-ounce level.

LAKES OIL

LOY YANG-2 WELL
PEP 166, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") advises that at 6:00 AM today the Loy Yang - 2 well was drilling ahead at a depth of 1,385 metres. Over the last twenty-four hours oil fluorescence, dull to moderately bright patchy very pale yellow-white giving a weak white crush cut, has been noted in most fractures especially below 1,328 metres where the fracture density increases. Background gas of up to 5.5 units has been recorded associated with the fractures with peaks of up to 84 units.

The Loy Yang-2 well is designed to test gas and oil indications which were observed in the original Loy Yang-1 drilled in 1994 but not tested.

Loy Yang-2 is sited on the Loy Yang Dome at the western end of the Baragwanath Anticline and some 70 kilometres west of the Boundary Creek-2 well (eastern end). Success in Loy Yang-2 would significantly upgrade the potential for further discoveries along the entire Baragwanath Anticline.

MACMIN SILVER

MACMIN STARTS DRILLING AT RIVERTREE PROJECT

Macmin Silver Ltd (Macmin) advises that a drilling programme comprising 2,300 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling has commenced at the Rivertree Project, north-east of Tenterfield in northern New South Wales. The Rivertree Project forms part of a Joint Venture Agreement with Malachite Resources NL (Malachite) whereby Macmin can increase its interest from 60% to 75% interest by funding on-going exploration of $500,000 by November 2007.

The Rivertree silver field was discovered in 1887 and underground mines were established at Wongabah and Silver King, with extensive shafts, adits and pits also developed at Boulder-Dunlop. The Rivertree veins, typically composed of quartz and polymetallic sulphide, are usually narrow (up to 1.8m in width) but often persistent along the strike.

Sampling of historic mine dump material by Malachite personnel returned very high grade silver values (up to 1,150g/t silver) and zinc values (up to 24.4% zinc). A limited programme of RC and diamond drilling was carried out by Malachite in 2003 and 2004 at Wongabah, Silver King and Dunlop. It was reported that most of the holes intersected mineralised veining and/or alteration in discrete lode structures up to 4m in width, but only two (2) holes intersected potentially economic grades of silver mineralisation. At Wongabah, a narrow massive sulphide vein was encountered which assayed 755g/t silver and 3.0g/t gold. At Silver King, the best intercept was 1m at 291g/t silver and 0.17g/t gold.

Macmin's drilling programme will focus on the Silver King and Spring Gully lodes which are hosted by the Rivertree Granite. Drilling will also be undertaken on the previously untested Big Block lode hosted by the Razorback Creek Mudstone, where dump sampling by Malachite had given silver assays of up to 1,150g/t and zinc assays to 8.4%.

WALL STREET

Upbeat reports from the Federal Reserve and DuPont Co. lifted stocks for a second day Wednesday, pushing the Standard & Poor's 500 past 1,300 for the first time since May 2001. The economy headed into the spring season with solid momentum, helping to generate more employment opportunities and keep factories humming, the Federal Reserve reported Wednesday.

U.S. silver prices reached their highest level in more than 22 years early Wednesday, before pulling back somewhat, boosted by rising mining shares and market hopes of a launch of a new U.S. silver investment product.

Buying spilled over into the other precious metals, with gold scampering above key chart resistance at $555 to $556 an ounce and platinum and palladium also gaining.

LOY YANG-2 WELL
PEP 166, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") advises that at 6:00 AM today the Loy Yang - 2 well was drilling ahead at a depth of 1,185 metres. Over the last twenty-four hours further gas was encountered with the highest reading of 84 units at 1,185 metres. Oil fluorescence has also been recorded intermittently from 1,152 metres. Consideration is now being made on deepening the well to a depth of 1,400 metres in order to more fully understand the oil and gas shows encountered to date.

The Loy Yang-2 well is designed to test gas and oil indications which were observed in the original Loy Yang-1 drilled in 1994 but not tested.

Loy Yang-2 is sited on the Loy Yang Dome at the western end of the Baragwanath Anticline and some 70 kilometres west of the Boundary Creek-2 well (eastern end). Success in Loy Yang-2 would significantly upgrade the potential for further discoveries along the entire Baragwanath Anticline.

Lakes Oil has elected to sole risk the drilling of Loy Yang - 2 well and will fund 100% of the costs of the drilling and post drilling hydraulic fracturing. In return, Lakes Oil will hold a 75% interest in the defined "Loy Yang Block" with AusAm Resources retaining a 25% interest in the Block. In the remainder of the permit, Lakes Oil and Ausam Resources will continue to each hold a 50% interest.

SYDNEY GAS

PRODUCTION, SALES AND EXPLORATION REPORT FEBRUARY 2006

This report highlights the operating performance and gas production from the Camden Gas Project. Production is currently in ramp-up and the peak production level is anticipated to be achieved within the next three years.

This report also provides an update on Sydney Gas’ exploration activities.

Camden Gas Project (SGL 50% interest)
Overall Status
In November 2005, Sydney Gas sold 50% of its petroleum interests, including the Camden Gas Project, to The Australian Gas Light Company Ltd (AGL) under a 50/50 Joint Venture agreement. Since then AGL has been the operator of the Camden Gas Project on behalf of the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture has a 10 year (with a five year option) gas supply agreement with AGL which replaces previous gas sales agreements between Sydney Gas and AGL that were initiated in 2001.

The current production rate now exceeds 4 Petajoules (PJ) (with Sydney Gas’ share being 2 PJ) per year.

Production Highlights

At the time of this report, a total of 67 Stage II wells were drilled, out of which 61 wells were completed and 56 wells were put into production to the Rosalind Park Gas Plant (RPGP).
Average production per producing well was 189 Gigajoules (GJ) per day during February which is slightly higher than the average production for the month of January 2006 (186 GJ per day). RPGP and Ray Beddoe Treatment Plant (RBTP) availability was 88.8% and 99.2% respectively for the month. The lower RPGP availability was due to a planned three day annual shutdown of the gas plant and a compression package overhaul. The best producing well in Camden averaged 951 GJ per day and exceeded 1,053 GJ per day on 5 and 6 February 2006.
Joint Venture continues to develop methods to increase the productivity of the Stage II wells by improving the dewatering method and adding production from the deeper seams ie Balgownie and Wongawilli. - Web Site

FURTHER ENCOURAGING DRILL RESULTS FROM GUADALUPE

The Directors are pleased to announce further results from the Guadalupe Silver-Gold Project in the Temoris District, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Two diamond core drill holes tested the clay blooms in the far north of the Guadalupe structure. These holes intersected significant mineralisation which may represent the top of another clavo.

Further drilling will be undertaken to test this, and other clay blooms, that continue to the north over the Guadalupe divide to Yerbabuena at the head of the valley 4 kilometres southeast of Palmarejo.

The Guadalupe Project is approximately 7 kilometres southeast of the Palmarejo Project within the Trogan exploration licence area which is held by the Company's subsidiary, Planet Gold SA de CV ('Planet Gold'). Planet Gold is owned 100% by Palmarejo Silver and Gold Corporation, a Canadian TSX Venture Exchange listed corporation which is approximately 79% owned by and controlled by the Company.

The Guadalupe Project consists of a series of northeast dipping quartz veins that can be traced for 1,500 metres along strike. The northern portion of the structure is known as Guadalupe, the central portion is known as El Salto and the southern portion of the structure is known as Las Animas.

Significant results (at a 1.0 g/t AuEq cut off and 1 metre internal waste) include:

5.5 metres @ 1.97 g/t Au and 185 g/t Ag (4.81 g/t AuEq) TGDH_050D

WALL STREET

A fall in Treasury bond yields propelled stocks sharply higher Tuesday as investors grew optimistic that the Federal Reserve's streak of interest rate hikes will soon end. Record revenues and a jump in profits at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. also boosted the market and sent the Dow Jones industrials and Standard & Poor's 500 index to nearly five-year highs. The credit markets reacted to signs of a moderating economy, particularly a Commerce Department report that February retail sales had the largest decline in six months.

Gold futures climbed 1% Tuesday to close at a one-week high, with weakness in the U.S. dollar and global economic uncertainties combining to drive investment demand for the precious metal.

Exploration Update - Angola and Botswana

Alto Cuilo - Angola

Since the Company's last update on 31 January 2006, ongoing drilling of the anomalies identified by the Midas low level helicopter aeromagnetic survey has now resulted in the identification of a further 7 kimberlitic occurrences with an estimated surface area of approximately 243 hectares. This takes the total to 33 kimberlitic occurrences with an estimated surface area of approximately 1,323 hectares, a significant increase over the results reported by the Company on 31 January 2006.

The estimated surface area of the kimberlitic occurrences is based on the interpretation of the magnetic anomalies identified together with analysis of drilling results.

A third core drill rig has now been ordered to assist in expediting the drilling of the substantial number of anomalies and is expected to arrive on site by June 2006. The large diameter drill rig and 10 tonne per hour sample plant remain on track for delivery in June 2006.

Kalahari Diamonds - Botswana

The Company's exploration activities are focused on the discovery of larger kimberlites (categorised by Petra as kimberlites with a surface area in excess of 25 hectares) primarily by the use of the Falcon gravity technology. However, the discovery of smaller diamondiferous kimberlites is also a priority for the Company and there have been some important developments in that regard.

In searching for kimberlites of less than 25 hectares in size, emphasis has been placed on the Gope area where Sekaka Diamonds Limited ('Sekaka', a subsidiary of Petra) holds prospecting licences covering ground that is known to host several diamondiferous kimberlites. The Falcon results for the Gope West flyblock have now been received with 18 anomalies so far identified for follow-up in the A block (the one third of the flyblock closest to Gope). The sources of these anomalies are estimated to have the potential to be 200 metres to 600 metres in diameter.

The Company has also flown a 700km(2) low-level Xcalibur horizontal gradient magnetic survey to cover Sekaka's prospecting licences in the immediate environs of the Gope kimberlites. By utilising the signature of the response generated by known kimberlites on Sekaka's ground (Gope 130, 137, 194 and 504), a further twenty four target anomalies have been selected. These results are exciting as the target sources are estimated to have the potential to be 200 metres to 400 metres in diameter and ground investigation of these anomalies is underway. - Web Site

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") advises that at 6:00 AM today the Loy Yang - 2 well was drilling ahead at a depth of 1,075 metres. Over the last twenty-four hours further gas was encountered with the highest reading of 46 units at 1,065 metres. During the next twenty four hours drilling will continue to the proposed total depth of 1,200 metres at which point further evaluation will continue with logging and the taking of side wall core samples.

The Loy Yang-2 well is designed to test gas and oil indications which were observed in the original Loy Yang-1 drilled in 1994 but not tested.

Loy Yang-2 is sited on the Loy Yang Dome at the western end of the Baragwanath Anticline and some 70 kilometres west of the Boundary Creek-2 well (eastern end). Success in Loy Yang-2 would significantly upgrade the potential for further discoveries along the entire Baragwanath Anticline.

MINOTAUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE TO SUPPORT SALE OF URANIUM RIGHTS INTO TORO ENERGY

Shareholders in Minotaur Exploration Limited today voted to approve the sale of their company's uranium rights in South Australia to the new pure uranium explorer, Toro Energy Limited.

The move - at a general meeting held in Adelaide this morning - paves the way for Toro to list on the ASX on or about the 24th of this month - after one of the year's most successful Initial Public Offers.

Toro last Monday closed its $18 million IPO four days early after receiving more than $52 million worth of applications for the 72 million, $0.25 shares on offer.

The new explorer's assets, as described in its prospectus, are a combined spin-off of the uranium acreage and joint ventures projects held by both Minotaur and Oxiana Limited. - Web Site

EBITDA more than doubled to $13.2 million due to production growth from exploration and new acquisitions, ongoing favourable commodity prices and exchange rates. The group’s after tax profit for the 6 months to 31 December 2005 rose 38% to $6.6 million, up from $4.7 million for the 6 months to December 2004. The previous half-year included a one off profit of $2.2 million for the partial sell down of Australian Renewable Fuels Limited (ASX code: ARW). The 2005 half-year profit is attributable solely to Amadeus’ US oil and gas operations, representing a 156% increase in the profitability of its core business over the same period.

Revenue for the half-year rose by 127% to $21.1 million, this was achieved with a 59% increase in net oil production and a 345% increase in natural gas production over the previous half-year. The growth in production was a result of the company’s continued exploration success and the acquisition of producing oil and gas fields in Texas and Kansas, with only three months contribution from the major Kansas, White Eagle acquisition.

Cash flow from operating activities for the period more than doubled to $8.6 million.

The 2005 half yearly result was impacted favourably by:

Successful exploration in Texas and Oklahoma;
Judicious selection of new acquisitions; and
Very favourable prices for both oil and gas where Amadeus operates in the heartland of the US domestic petroleum industry.

The 2005 half yearly result was adversely affected by:

Higher amortisation charge during the half-year of $4.0 million, compared to $1.3 million for the prior period;
A one-off employee benefits charge of $0.5 million under the new AIFRS accounting policy whereby the value of options issued to staff and directors in November 2005; and
A provision for deferred taxation of $1.6 million this half-year due to the cessation of carry forward losses in the US (2004: nil). - Web Site

WALL STREET

Surging oil prices left stocks little changed Monday as interest rate worries also diluted Wall Street's enthusiasm over multibillion-dollar acquisitions in the banking and newspaper sectors.

Crude futures jumped as anxiety about political tension in major oil-producing nations countered reports of growing U.S. reserves.

Gold futures closed Monday with a gain of more than $6 an ounce, recouping part of last week's losses of nearly 5%, as some weakness in the U.S. dollar and ongoing tension over Iran's nuclear-refining program helped renew investment demand for the precious metal.

Acoje Exploration Update

Following the recent change of management of Rusina in late 2005, the Company embarked on a thorough technical audit of the Acoje property. One of the outcomes from this review was the need to better identify drilling targets in order to maximise the effectiveness of our drilling. The Company has therefore paused the drilling on the Acoje Project in order to commence an Induced Potential (IP) orientation survey and an Airborne Magnetometer survey. Once these surveys have been completed and results are interpreted, a better definition of mineralised zones will enable a more effective drilling programme to be planned and executed....... - Web Site

Mahalo Drilling Update

Coal permeabilities measured in Mira 1 and Humboldt 1 core holes
Early desorption data is encouraging
Mahalo 2 expected to drill by mid year

The directors of Comet Ridge Limited (ASX Code: COI) are pleased to provide the following update on the Mahalo Phase II core program.

As previously reported, two core holes were drilled to verify the thickness, gas content and permeability of the Permian aged Bandanna Formation coals in the eastern part of the ATP 337P farmout block in the Bowen Basin of Queensland that Comet Ridge is earning a 40% working interest in. The holes, Mira 1 and Humboldt 1 were drilled in the middle of February.

Comet Ridge engaged Dr. John Seidle, Senior Reservoir Engineer of Denver, Colorado based Sproule Associates, to derive permeability measurements from the results of the 4 drill stem tests run in the two holes. Dr. Seidle is a recognised expert on coal seam gas reservoir engineering and has experience in many countries and coal seam gas developments.

Permeability, the measure of how well a coal reservoir can flow gas and water, can be determined by careful analysis of the pressures recorded down hole when a drill stem test is conducted. A drill stem test comprises of a series of flowing and shut-in periods during which the pressure changes are measured by accurate down hole pressure gauges. These pressure data are analysed by the reservoir engineers to determine the permeability and also to indicate any damage during the drilling process (mud and mud filtrate are quickly imbibed into the coal and fill up the cleats or microfractures in the coal).

In essence the tested zones have interpreted coal permeabilities in the range of 6 to 56 millidarcies that are similar to those recorded at other producing coal seam gas developments in Queensland. Each of the tests showed drilling induced formation damage as indicated by a positive skin factor.....- Web Site

Drilling Programme Weekly Progress Report

Uganda: Block 2 - Waraga-1 Wildcat

Since the last report on 7 March, the Waraga-1 well was drilled from 1,872 metres to total depth of 2,010 metres into basement and wireline logs have been run. At midnight on 12 March wireline pressure testing and sampling programme had been completed. Oil samples have been recovered from the 32 metre gross interval previously reported (at a depth of approximately 1,700 metres). Preliminary indications are that this is a light oil of approximately 40o API gravity. While no oil water contact was observed, pressure data from the oil interval and deeper water bearing sands suggests a minimum 45 metre oil column for this reservoir interval.

Wireline logs and shows while drilling have indicated a deeper, separate zone of interest from approximately 1,780 metres to 1,930 metres which contains a number of thinner sands. Oil samples have been recovered from a sand at 1,893 metres. Pressure testing and sampling has been conducted, with interpretation of results expected in the coming days to determine the extent of this deeper oil bearing interval and whether it represents one or a number of oil columns.

The well will now be cased and suspended ready for future testing. Planning of that testing programme is underway and equipment is being sourced and mobilised. - Web Site

Further Encouragement from Epithermal Gold/Silver Targets within Masuparia 'COW'

Prosperity Resources Limited (ASX: PSP) are pleased to announce that recent reconnaissance work in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia has indicated that the epithermal gold veins have been extended.

Noteworthy assays results from the Bunga Desa vein include 83.2g/t, 11.8g/t gold and 1070 g/t silver, as well as from the 290 vein of 18.1g/t gold, 827g/t silver and 3.4g/t gold.

Prosperity Resources Ltd's Managing Director, Mr Ric Dawson said "These are encouraging results that indicate that the strike length of the Bunga Desa vein is continuing northerly by 100 metres and may possibly be increased to 200 metres or more to the IP anomaly and beyond."

"In combination with the interpreted eight epithermal veins in the Ongkang Prospect area in the Masuparia Contract of Work (CoW), our view is that these epithermal veins could potentially contain a multi million ounce gold/silver inventory."

Mr Dawson said "These additional gold/silver results now advance the epithermal Ongkang - Bunga Desa Prospect area in the Masuparia COW."- Web Site

WALL STREET

Broad-based gains in employment sent stocks higher Friday, with the Dow Jones industrials gaining more than 104 points as investors regained some confidence in the economy. However, interest rate concerns remain, and the markets finished mixed for the week.

Crude oil prices slipped below $60 a barrel Friday as traders took profits ahead of the weekend, but worries about violence in Nigeria and the possibility of U.N. sanctions against Iran still underpinned the market.

Gold futures closed at their lowest price in over two months Friday, ending the week with a loss of almost $27 an ounce as a strengthening U.S. dollar eroded the appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment to U.S. assets.

The Shanghai Gold Exchange is preparing to start silver trade, which will set the benchmark for Chinese prices, industry sources said today. The new product could increase China's investment demand for silver and reduce its exports, they said.

LOY YANG-2 WELL
PEP 166, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code “LKO”) advises that at 6:00 AM today the Loy Yang – 2 well was drilling ahead at a depth of 497 metres. Over the last twenty-four hours a second core of seven metres was cut. Oil fluorescence was observed in the core.

The Loy Yang-2 well is designed to test gas and oil indications which were observed in the original Loy Yang-1 drilled in 1994 but not tested.

Loy Yang-2 is sited on the Loy Yang Dome at the western end of the Baragwanath Anticline and some 70 kilometres west of the Boundary Creek-2 well (eastern end). Success in Loy Yang-2 would significantly upgrade the potential for further discoveries along the entire Baragwanath Anticline.

Operations Update

Dundee Pilot begins production testing
Tipton West Development drilling underway
Kogan North gas flow rates continue to rise and CGPF Commissioning nearly complete

The Directors of Arrow Energy NL (Arrow) are pleased to advise the following operations update.

Dundee Field (ATP 676, PLA 185 – Arrow 100%)
The first Dundee pilot well was brought on stream today and is dewatering into the evaporation dam. Additional well start-ups will be staged over the next few weeks. The Dundee field is south of the town of Chinchilla, approximately 350 km west of Brisbane. Arrow has previously drilled and flowed gas from 3 exploration wells on the block. The company believes there are substantial gas reserve volumes available and is targeting a mid year gas reserve certification.

Tipton West Field (PL 198, Arrow 60%)
Development drilling has commenced on the Tipton West field. Two rigs are currently on-site and others will be added in the near future. The first well is close to completion. 75 wells are planned in the initial 10 PJ p.a. development program.

A Letter of Intent has been signed with Delco Australia Limited for the engineering, procurement and construction of the Tipton West Processing facilities and surface gathering network. Compressors have been ordered from Universal Compression in the United States.

First gas on the Tipton west Project is scheduled for first quarter 2007. Beach Petroleum are farming in for 40% equity in the project by funding the first $35m of the upstream development program. Negotiations are well advanced for downstream (Processing and pipelines) funding but in the meantime this is being funded by the upstream partners.

Daandine Field (PL230, Arrow 100%)
Nine of the proposed fifteen development wells on the Daandine Field have been drilled and completed. The rigs have now been moved to Tipton to commence development drilling there. Planned development drilling on Daandine will resume in the second quarter.

Surface gathering and down-hole equipment has been ordered and dewatering of the field is scheduled to commence around mid year.

The Daandine upstream project is designed to provide 2PJ p.a. to a 27.4 MW power station, to be built on the Daandine site by Australian Pipeline Trust. Arrow will toll the Daandine gas through the plant and then sell the electricity to Country Energy under an agreed, long term Power Purchase Agreement. First electricity sales are planned to occur before the end of 2006.... - Web Site

FIRST WEST VIRGINIA WELL

Norwest Energy NL has been advised by the US based Operator of the Cornstalk Project in West Virginia, Ascent Resources WV, Inc that the first well in the West Virginia drilling program has been successfully drilled and cased. The well is the first in an approved five well drilling programme.

The well drilled to a Total Depth of 1,101 metres (3,612 feet) and four cores were cut. The cores were reported to be bubbling gas as they were being prepared for sample analysis. The cores will be used to quantify the organic content and sorbed gas phase of the shale and ultimately calculate the Gas-In- Place for the shale in the region.

Under a farmin agreement, Ascent will pay Norwest and Alto’s share of costs of drilling and completing the first three wells. Ascent is an experienced operator in the onshore US, and has been introduced to the project to build a strong local experience base and to systematically introduce techniques and technology which will optimise the gas potential within the shale section.

‘UNACCEPTABLE’ FINDING BY TAKEOVERS PANEL AGAINST QUEENSLAND GAS VINDICATES SYDNEY GAS CONCERNS

Sydney Gas Ltd welcomes the Takeovers Panel’s finding yesterday of unacceptable circumstances in relation to the takeover offer by Queensland Gas Company Limited for all the shares in SGL. The Takeovers Panel ruling will oblige QGC to present full and adequate disclosure to SGL shareholders so they can properly assess the proposed QGC offer of one QGC share for every two SGL shares.

Sydney Gas had asked the Panel to find that the QGC Bidder’s Statement and Supplementary Bidder’s Statement sent to Sydney Gas shareholders on 28 February 2006, contained deficiencies serious enough to warrant a finding of unacceptable circumstances. The Panel found that Sydney Gas shareholders would not have all material information required to be disclosed to allow them to assess the merits of the QGC offer.

The Panel has ordered QGC to immediately advise the market:

of the deficiencies identified by the Panel;
that it will provide a replacement Bidder’s Statement;
that no further acceptances from Sydney Gas shareholders will be accepted and any existing acceptances are to be revoked; and
that the date for closing of its offer will be extended to one month after the date of despatch of its replacement Bidder’s Statement.

Sydney Gas shareholders should ignore any documents already sent to them by QGC and await further advice from the Sydney Gas Board..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street surrendered early gains and closed lower Thursday as a higher U.S. trade deficit and questions about the labor market squelched enthusiasm over a policy change at the Bank of Japan - the new policy, focused less on rising prices and more on Japan's growing economic strength, encouraged U.S. investors worried about the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates and inflation.

METALLICA MINERALS

Boosts Lucky Break Nickel Resource

Metallica Minerals Limited (ASX Code ‘MLM’) today announced a near doubling of its Lucky Break nickel laterite deposit in North Queensland.

The new JORC-compliant resource estimate – up 82% to 1.02 million tonnes at 0.80% nickel and 0.05% cobalt – based on 226 drill holes.

The upgraded Lucky Break resource closely follows last month’s announcement that Metallica had more than doubled, to 20.75 million tonnes, the inferred nickel resource at the Company’s flagship NORNICO project north-west of Townsville.

Metallica Managing Director, Mr Andrew Gillies, also announced today that: -

a preliminary scoping study of the development potential of Lucky Break Heap Leach Nickel project had indicated the project to be financially robust at an estimated capital cost of $10.8 million.
a mining lease had been granted over the Dingo Dam deposit, part of the Lucky Break project, and
heap leaching trials have started on Lucky Break nickel laterites. .....- Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks closed barely mixed on Wall Street Wednesday as oil prices dropped sharply and interest rate worries limited the market's gains.
The major indexes were down for much of the day as investors fretted over high U.S. bond yields and possible rate increases in Europe and Japan.

The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500 rose in response to a sharp drop in crude oil futures, which declined after a government report showed crude oil inventories at their highest level since 1999.

Gold futures dropped over $10 Wednesday to tally a four-session loss of 4.6% with a steep drop in oil prices and some strength in the U.S. dollar dulling the metal's appeal as a safe-haven asset.

Gravity's Diamond Search in DRC Reveals Areas Prospective for Gold and Copper

Several "large specific areas" anomalous in copper and gold outlined by geochemical samples

Follow-up work planned in 2006 field season

Gravity Diamonds Limited (ASX and AIM: GRN) announces that the regional search for diamondiferous kimberlites on its Kasai tenements in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") has also identified a number of large areas covering several thousand square kilometres which are prospective for gold and/or copper. This has been revealed in the results now available from analysis of geochemical samples collected concurrent with kimberlitic indicator mineral samples during last year's regional sampling programme.

Whilst diamonds remain Gravity's primary focus in the Kasai, the geochemical results for other metals show that some of its tenements have broader mineral potential too interesting to simply ignore.

LAKES OIL

LOY YANG-2 WELL
PEP 166, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") advises that at 6:00 AM this morning the Loy Yang - 2 well was at a depth of 423 metres. Core No. 1 was cut over the interval 415-423 metres to evaluate permeability and porosity of the formation. Full analyses of the core will also assist in calibrating electric logs at the completion of the well. Drilling will resume later this morning with a second core planned to be cut at approximately 476 metres.

The Loy Yang-2 well is designed to test gas and oil indications which were observed in the original Loy Yang-1 drilled in 1994 but not tested.

Loy Yang-2 is sited on the Loy Yang Dome at the western end of the Baragwanath Anticline and some 70 kilometres west of the Boundary Creek-2 well (eastern end). Success in Loy Yang-2 would significantly upgrade the potential for further discoveries along the entire Baragwanath Anticline.

HORIZON OIL (HZN) RAISES A$13.5 MILLION TO FUND MAARI FIELD DEVELOPMENT

Horizon Oil advises that it has placed 84,100,168 fully paid ordinary shares to raise A$13.5 million before expenses. The issue was priced at A$0.16 per share, equivalent to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Horizon Oil shares for the week ending 3 March 2006. The shares issued represent 15% of the outstanding share capital of the Company. ABN AMRO Morgans Corporate Limited acted as Placement Agent.

Directors advised shareholders in October 2005 of the timing and purpose of the capital raising. The funds raised will be used primarily to fund the equity component of Horizon Oil’s 10% interest in the Maari oil field development, which is underway offshore New Zealand. The major part of the Company’s share of the development cost – about 80% - will be met by through a debt facility provided by BOS International. Funds from the share placement, together with existing cash of A$6 million, are anticipated to be sufficient to fund Horizon Oil’s exploration and development capital programme, as currently planned, through first production from Maari field, which is expected in March 2008.

The new shares have been placed with primarily Asian and UK institutions who are experienced energy investors with a good understanding and appreciation of Horizon Oil’s asset portfolio. The issue was substantially oversubscribed. - Web Site

RESOLUTE

GOLDEN PRIDE RESERVE INCREASE AND MINE LIFE EXTENSION

Resolute Mining Limited is pleased to announce a major increase in the reserve base at its Golden Pride Mine in Tanzania that will see production from this mine continue for at least eight years.

This is an important development as it not only improves the return from the mine but extends the window to capitalise on positive exploration results from the prospective tenure around the mine.

The current pit design was completed in 2001 and was based on the then resource model and an optimised pit shell using a gold price of US$320/oz.

A re-optimisation of the pit using a gold price of US$520/oz has added an additional 680,000 ounces to that to be recovered from the mine, taking the total gold expected to be produced over the remainder of the new mine life to around 1.2 million ounces. The cash cost attached to the 680,000 incremental ounces is approximately US$390/oz and the average for the total production will be approximately US$320/oz..... - Web Site

RESOLUTE

Half Yearly Report & Accounts

INCOME STATEMENT

Resolute Mining Limited’s consolidated net loss before tax and unrealised treasury losses for the half year ended 31 December 2005 is $2.0m (half year ended 31 December 2004 : $11.8m profit).

The total Resolute Mining group gold production for the half year was 146,494 ounces at an average cash cost of $499/oz. The Golden Pride gold mine in Tanzania, produced 74,351 ounces of gold in the 6 months ended 31 December 2005 at a cash cost of $396/oz (or US$296/oz) and the Ravenswood gold mine in Queensland, Australia, produced 72,143 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $606/oz (or US$454/oz).

The average accounting revenue price achieved per ounce of gold shipped during the period was $592/oz.

The consolidated net loss after tax and unrealised treasury losses of $47.9m has been adversely impacted by the $46.2m charge relating to unrealised treasury losses. As previously announced on 3 January 2006, due to the introduction on 1 July 2005 of the new Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS), Resolute has been required to charge to its Income Statement the change in the fair value of certain of its financial instruments.

It is important to understand that this is simply a change to the accounting treatment of these instruments and the vast majority of the unrealised loss in this period will be fully reversed in future periods through the reporting of higher than realised profits in those periods. - Web Site

Copper Hill Project Report

Summary

Golden Cross Resources has received results from a further seven holes drilled at its Copper Hill porphyry copper-gold project located near Molong, NSW. Broad intersections of copper and gold mineralisation were obtained in all holes, with hole 77 mineralised over the full 200m RC-portion of the hole, and with the diamond tail yet to be drilled.

GCR has completed 21 drill holes and has extended two existing holes at Copper Hill since the beginning of 2006. Of these, the Company has received complete results for only four holes (71, 73, 75 and 76). The delay in receipt of assay results is due to the increased demand for analytical services. Turnaround time for assays is presently three to four weeks.

Metallurgical testwork on samples from hole 64 from within the Saddle Area has indicated high recoveries for both copper and gold.

The current drilling program is 30% complete. Three drill rigs are presently on site.- Web Site

2005 FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY

KEY POINTS

$45.6 million profit after tax, a $71.8 million turnaround compared to the prior year.
$66.4 million cash position at end-2004, increased to $110 million by end-February 2006.
No debt, despite funding $102.8 million of field development costs during 2005.

Today, ROC released its ASX Preliminary Final Report (Appendix 4E), Directors’ Report and Annual Financial Report for the Financial Year ended 31 December 2005. The key points are summarised below

$45.6 million net profit after income tax (2004: loss of $26.2 million). This equates to 24.5 cents per share. The result, driven mainly by the sale of the Saltfleetby Gas Field, onshore UK, was achieved after $48.2 million exploration expenditure was expensed and written off in accordance with ROC’s newly adopted successful efforts accounting policy.
$66.4 million cash position (2004: $76.0 million). This increased to $110 million in February 2006 after the completion of the placement of 28 million shares at $2.71 per share in January 2006.
The company had no debt at year-end. In February 2006, a US$30 million debt facility was put in place which remains undrawn.
$41.6 million exploration expenditure (2004: $40.0 million) and $102.8 million field development expenditure (2004: $7.4 million). - Web Site

UNIVERSAL RESOURCES

MORE SIGNIFICANT COPPER INTERSECTIONS FROM IVY ANN

To date an inferred resource, at a 0.3% copper cut-off grade, of 4 million tonnes averaging 0.72% copper and 0.12 g/t gold (refer to ASX release of 20 January 2006) has been delineated over a 400 metre strike length, remaining open along strike and at depth.

HIGHLIGHTS

Drilling tested substantial intersections of copper mineralisation, locally exceeding 100 metres in length, with the following significant assay intervals:

HOLE IAR211 - 113m@ 0.80%Cu and 0.14 g/t Au

HOLE IAR212 - 22m@0.74%Cu and 0.17 g/t Au and 29m@1.24%Cu and 0.20 g/t Au

The above results include some internal waste within the mineralised zones.

Follow-up RC drilling is planned for later in the season to further test this deposit as potential feed for the proposed Roseby treatment plant and to test potential strike and down dip extensions and copper-gold mineralisation known to occur over the 3 km strike length of the Ivy Ann- Ivy Ann North prospect. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks closed mostly lower Tuesday on resurgent fears of rising interest rates. Investors sold as bond yields remained high, government data showed wages rising and a Federal Reserve official warned more interest rate hikes may be needed. Wall Street was nervously watching the Treasury market after yields surged Monday to their strongest level since June 2004, pushed up by investor worries about inflation in the United States and rising interest rates in Japan and Europe.

Gold futures closed at a more than one-week low Tuesday, marking a three-session loss of almost $16 an ounce as traders reacted to expectations that a compromise over Iran's nuclear program could be worked out.

LOY YANG-2 WELL
PEP 166, ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN, VICTORIA

Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") advises that at 6:00 AM this morning the Loy Yang - 2 well was at a depth of 307 metres having encountered the Strzelecki Formation at 220 metres. The presence of gas has been recorded from the top of the Strzelecki Formation with cuttings gas reaching 1,050 parts per million.

The Loy Yang-2 well is designed to test gas and oil indications which were observed in the original Loy Yang-1 drilled in 1994 but not tested.

Loy Yang-2 is sited on the Loy Yang Dome at the western end of the Baragwanath Anticline and some 70 kilometres west of the Boundary Creek-2 well (eastern end). Success in Loy Yang-2 would significantly upgrade the potential for further discoveries along the entire Baragwanath Anticline.

Drilling Programme - Weekly Progress Report

Uganda: Block 2 - Waraga-1 Wildcat

Since the last report on 28 February, the Waraga-1 well was drilled to a depth of 1,768 metres. Wireline logs, including wireline pressure and sampling tools, were run at this depth to investigate hydrocarbons encountered in the well (elevated gas readings and oil shows). Subsequent evaluation of these logs and pressure measurements indicates a gross hydrocarbon interval of 32 metres with a net pay ratio of approximately 50% and the hydrocarbon type is interpreted as oil. Samples are yet to be recovered from the well because of problems with the wireline sampling tool. No oil water contact has been observed although the well has now passed into probable water bearing sands below the hydrocarbon interval.

Multiple objectives are interpreted in this prospect and, on the basis of seismic correlations between Waraga-1 and Mputa-1, we still expect to intersect deeper objectives, similar to the oil bearing intervals in Mputa-1, before Waraga-1 reaches total depth.

At midnight on 5 March the well was drilling ahead at 1,872 metres towards a revised planned total depth of approximately 2,050 metres. Wireline logs including a pressure and sampling programme will be conducted to further evaluate this reported hydrocarbon interval and the expected deeper objectives.- Web Site

HORIZON OIL

DRILLING UPDATE BAYOU CHOCTAW FIELD, USA

Horizon Oil is pleased to advise that as of the 6th March the Australian Mineral Interests No. 1 well was drilling ahead at a depth of 4,128 feet in 9.875 inch hole with the Moncla 11 drilling rig. The well has still to reach the prognosed depth of the target horizons.

Progress has been hampered during the last week due to time taken by the rig contractor to replace items of rig equipment at his cost. However the rig is now fully operational and making good progress towards the first objective. The well is the first of a 3 well exploitation program targeting zones updip of existing production around the Bayou Choctaw salt dome. Horizon Oil has a 14.0% interest in the Australian Mineral Interest No. 1 and will have a 19.8% interest in the following two wells. Its partners are CLK Energy, Inc. (operator) and a subsidiary of ASXlisted Icon Energy Limited (ASX:ICN). The well will address prospect reserves potential of 1.8 million barrels of oil in a number of zones which are productive down-dip of the well location.

The well will be deviated so as to penetrate each objective zone in an optimal position, to a planned true vertical depth of 9,100 feet.

It is expected that the first well will take a further 17 days to drill to TD. The Company intends to issue drilling reports generally on a weekly basis throughout the 3 well program, as well as reports of significant events and/or results. - Web Site

OROYA MINING

NICKEL SULPHIDES TARGETED IN ROE HILLS DHTEM SURVEY

A Down Hole Transient Electromagnetic (DHTEM) survey undertaken by Oroya at Talc Lake on the Roe Hills Nickel and Gold Project has successfully defined off-hole conductors which may indicate nickel sulphide bodies adjacent to nickel sulphides intersected in holes recently drilled by Oroya.

Oroya drilled three diamond drill holes (ORTL-1 to ORTL-3) in 2005 at the Talc Lake prospect to follow up previous high-grade nickel sulphide drill intercepts including 0.5 metres at 6.15% nickel and 0.38% copper from 155 metres hole depth in drill hole ROE114.

As announced to ASX on 1 June 2005, all three of Oroya’s drill holes intersected nickel sulphide mineralization in the hanging wall position, both up and down dip from mineralization in ROE114, with best results of 2.75 metres at 1.29% nickel from 130.70 metres, 0.65 metres at 0.75% nickel from 177.30 metres and 0.15 metres at 1.34% nickel from 222.60 metres in ORTL-1; 0.3 metres at 1.46% nickel from 182.8 metres and 2.65 metres at 0.55% nickel from 224.0 metres in ORTL-2; and 2 metres at 0.59% nickel from 114 metres and 1 metre at 0.56% nickel from 118 metres in ORTL-3.

More significantly, both ORTL-1 and ORTL-2 intersected nickel sulphide mineralization on the basal ultramafic-basalt contact, which is the most favourable position for the discovery of Kambalda-style komatiite hosted nickel deposits. - Web Site

Exploration Update

HIGHLIGHTS

Tengrela – Ivory Coast

Wide spaced RAB traverse drilling on the first two of nine soil anomalies to be tested on the Tengrela gold project in Ivory Coast has returned additional significant intercepts including 25m* at 3.2g/t, 4m at 42.6g/t, 31m* at 1.4g/t, 8m at 3.4g/t, 29m at 1.1g/t, 28m at 1.0g/t, 4m at 5.0g/t and 12m at 1.7g/t Au. Previously announced results included 33m* at 11.1g/t, 26m* at 0.9g/t, 32m* at 0.8g/t and 29m* at 0.7g/t Au.
Significant gold mineralisation encountered on all 10 wide spaced RAB drilling traverses completed to date highlight the potential not only of the Sissingue and Kanakono anomalies, but of the whole Tengrela project. These two anomalies cover 11km of the northernmost 20km of the 55km strike of the Syama gold belt within the Tengrela project. Tengrela lies immediately south of the Syama and Tabakoroni deposits in Mali.
9km of the northernmost 20km of the Syama belt within Tengrela has not been soil sampled since it is largely covered by transported material, so it now represents a priority target for additional reconnaissance drilling after soil anomalies along the remaining 35km portion of the Syama gold belt are drilled.

Tolubay – Kyrgyz Republic

Results from diamond drilling on Section 251,800E, 80m west of the original drill section at Obdilla, confirm the continuation of gold mineralisation associated with the east-west faulting at Obdilla. Drill hole ZDDH012 intercepted 79m at 1.7g/t Au from 32m, including 20m at 3.2g/t Au from 85m. This intercept is interpreted as extending from 30 m to 80m from the fault zone controlling mineralisation at Obdilla, with gold grades increasing closer to the fault. This is consistent with the previous results from Section 251,800 E, where a 70-80m wide mineralised zone was delineated. A drill pad will be prepared to test higher grade gold mineralisation identified in trenches closer to the fault.
Early drill results from a section 1.1km further west have also confirmed the existence of the auriferous Tolubai suite. The structure is more complicated in this western zone, with a number of east-west trending faults identified to date.

Other

Positive results from column tests and other scoping work on the Grumesa heap leach option indicate that a feasibility study for an on site 1.5Mtpa, 50,000 oz pa operation with an expected high IRR is justified.
Further trenching on the Kobo North prospect at Kwatechi in Ghana has extended high grade mineralization with an open ended intercept of 20m @ 6.8g/t Au.

Greg Barns and Willie McLucas met with the new Minister, Senor Walter Villarroel, and the meeting was very positive. The Minister firmly indicated that Bolivia was open to business for Western mining and exploration companies and investment. As if to emphasise this point, the Minister made a video-link presentation to the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada ("PDAC") conference in Toronto last week. During this presentation the Minister was asked questions about political risk in Bolivia and answered them all very satisfactorily. I have also attached the text of the Minister's speech. His presence at PDAC, albeit by video link, was very important and his message is vital to shareholders in Republic.

For a number of months now we have been comfortable with the technical risk of the Amayapampa Project. The meeting with the Minister and his presentation to the PDAC conference now gives us comfort with the political risk. .......- Web Site

SUMMARY

Profit after income tax of $0.3 million (2004: $1.9 million loss).
Earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $1.4 million (2004: $0.7 million).
At 31 December 2005, the company held $9.2 million in cash.
Aggregate of working capital and investments (market value) at 31 December 2005 of $14.4 million, which equates to $0.43 per share.
Mineral Hill Mine produced 7,701 ounces of gold and 419 tonnes of copper. Mine placed on care and maintenance in September 2005.
The Hera feasibility study is in progress.
The prefeasibility study of the Hera project, using conservative long-term metal prices (gold: US$400/oz, copper: US$2,141/t, zinc: US$1,102/t, lead: US$590/t, exchange rate: A$1.00 = US$0.70), concluded that –
a) based on the size and grade currently defined, development of a profitable mine is feasible with the ore being treated at an offsite milling facility in the region.
b) a feasibility study incorporating an exploration decline to confirm the gold grade is the preferred route to complete the study.
c) project economics are very sensitive to metal prices and gold grade.
d) based on current metal prices (6 March 2006 - gold: US$565/oz, copper: US$5,018/t, zinc: US$2,333/t, lead: US$1,218/t, exchange rate: A$1.00 = US$0.7410), the project economics are greatly enhanced.
A joint venture agreement was signed with Teck Cominco Australia Pty Ltd over the
Stephens-Centennial project at Broken Hill, NSW after balance date.
Discussions are continuing with potential bidders for the company and its assets. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Rising bond yields triggered a selloff on Wall Street Monday as persistent nervousness about the economy and interest rates motivated investors to take profits. Government bonds tumbled for a fourth straight session, sending market interest rates higher and contributing to the broader decline in stocks. The yield -- which moves in an opposite direction from price -- on the 10-year Treasury note leaped to a 20-month high of 4.74 percent from 4.69 percent late Friday.

Oil Prices Slide Ahead of IAEA Meeting on Iran's Nuclear Ambitions, OPEC Gathering. Easing supply fears and a technical selloff in unleaded gasoline futures helped push oil prices down on Monday.

Einasleigh Scoping Results recommends Feasibility Study

Highlights

The Scoping Study at the Einasleigh Copper Mine and Kaiser Bill prospects, carried out by Trevor Hannigan of AustralAsian Resource Consultants, indicates that the deposits have a good probability of being economically exploitable. On the basis of this positive outcome a Feasibility Study will now be initiated and is expected to take approximately six months to complete.
At Walford Creek in NW Queensland, Independent Geologist Mark Saxon has estimated an Inferred Mineral Resource as follows:
6.5 million tonnes @ 0.6% copper, 1.6% lead, 2.1% zinc, 25g/t silver & 0.07% cobalt.
Given the low density of drilling on this prospect, the potential to increase the size is very good. The deposit is shallow and amenable to open-cut extraction.
Resource extension drilling has been completed at Kaiser Bill; however assays are not yet available. At the Einasleigh Copper Mine, further drilling to assess extensions of the deposit to the north has not yet been completed due to drill repairs. Drilling is expected to recommence at Einasleigh and the nearby Chloe zinc prospect in mid-March.- Web Site

WALL STREET

Stocks fluctuated before closing slightly lower Friday after a Federal Reserve governor's upbeat comments on inflation helped ease worries about a bleak forecast from Intel Corp.

Oil prices strengthened for the fourth straight day on Friday amid nagging concerns over supply from Nigeria and Iran, and as players eyed OPEC ahead of the cartel's meeting next week. Fears of more violent attacks against Nigeria's oil industry, which have already shut a fifth of the country's oil exports, and international tension over Iran's nuclear plan helped push up prices.

Silver futures closed at a fresh 22-year high Friday, up more than 4% for the week with the gains tied to expectations that an exchange-traded fund based on the metal will soon be launched.
At the same time, gold prices retreated from a one-month high but ended the week up over 1%, as investors and traders continued to rely on the precious metal as a refuge from market uncertainty.

KAGARA ANNOUNCES $5.4M FIRST HALF PROFIT – FORECASTS STRONG INCREASE IN EARNINGS
RISING ZINC AND COPPER PRODUCTION UNDERPINS EARNINGS GROWTH

Base metal producer Kagara Zinc Ltd (ASX: KZL) today announced a 31% increase in interim net profit to $5.4 million and forecast a strong increase in full-year earnings on rising zinc and copper production at its Mt Garnet operations in Queensland. The first half result reflected the impact of an extended period of commissioning on two new ore feeds at Mt Garnet and adjustments relating to Australian International Financial Reporting Standards amounting to $7.4 million worth of lead and copper hedging outstanding at the end of the period.

The first half net profit, which compared with a net profit of $4.1 million for the previous corresponding period, was struck on increased sales revenue of $31.3 million (2004: $22.9 million), based on lower polymetallic production from Mt Garnet of 15,689 tonnes of contained zinc, 7,171 tonnes of contained lead and 1,025 tonnes of contained copper.

Executive Chairman, Mr Kim Robinson, said the outlook for the second half was very positive with the Company expected to produce approximately 23,000 tonnes of contained zinc, representing a 50% increase on the first half, at an estimated cash cost of US$0.30-35/lb, together with strongly increasing copper production and other by-product credits. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Nervous investors bid stocks modestly lower Thursday as disappointing retail sales reports prompted fresh concerns about a slowdown in the economy and a dropoff in corporate revenues.

Crude futures rose Thursday as traders focused on output disruptions in Nigeria and other geopolitical threats to supplies.

Silver prices moved above $10 a troy ounce for the first in more than 22 years buoyed by strong buying in metal and energy markets. Traders said investors were also buying into the metal in the hope of a favourable US regulatory ruling on the launch of a proposed silver-backed exchange traded fund. Barclays Global Investors has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to list a silver backed ETF, which potentially opens up the silver market to new investors.

MINOTAUR EXPLORATION

Tunkillia Project

The Tunkillia project is a joint venture between Minotaur Exploration Ltd and Helix Resources Ltd and is located 100 kilometres south of Tarcoola in South Australia.

In March 2004, Helix reported a JORC Inferred Resource of 10.5 million tonnes at 2.2 g/t gold (730,000 ounces) at Area 223.

Minotaur, as manager of the joint venture, has now completed a re-assessment of the Area 223 resource economics.

Several scenarios were investigated and a conceptual mining operation of a minimum of 1,000,000 tonnes per annum, producing some 80,000 ounces per annum at the current gold price highlighted the requirement for immediate further exploration drilling at Area 223. The new $2 million drilling program will comprise approximately 4,000 metres of diamond drilling and 10,000 metres of RC drilling. In addition, metallurgical and structural studies will be carried out.

It is considered that there is ample potential to expand the deposit and production rate, particularly at Area 223 South, in the southern portion of the deposit which still remains open along strike and where previous drilling by Helix intersected the highest grade, continuous primary mineralisation ever found at Tunkillia (3m at 17g/t and 15m at 7.7g/t in LRC 498).

Should the results be encouraging and the resource expanded, a pre feasibility study on the project will commence. - Web Site

STELLAR RESOURCES

Drilling Update and Planned Programs

Stellar Resources is pleased to report that the 2006 field season has accelerated, with drilling in three States, on the following key projects.

Uno, SA – Gold
Soyuz, SA – Gold
Tasmania – Tin and Copper
Goldfinger, NSW – Base Metals
Tarcoola region, SA – Base Metals
Palaeochannel Uranium, SA, including Warrior

Uno Gold Prospect, SA (Stellar option to acquire 100%)

Stellar has commenced aircore drilling to test three gold geochemical targets within the Uno prospect. A total of 65 holes for 4000 metres of drilling is planned to test these anomalies and should be completed in March, with assay results expected within 4 weeks of drilling completion.

The Uno prospect is focused on the Uno Fault – a major east-west oriented structure which forms the southern margin of the Gawler Range Volcanic province. Geochemical sampling of the licence area has delineated anomalous gold levels over a target zone of up to 3 kilometres strike length, within the Uno Fault Zone. A smaller base metal and coincident gold anomalous zone of 1 kilometre strike length has been defined at the eastern end of the target area. The geochemical signatures and geological setting are consistent with epithermal vein style mineralisation associated with the Gawler Range Volcanics, and focused within the Uno Fault.

Soyuz, SA (Stellar 100%)

Slim-line RC drilling is scheduled in March on a program of 100 to120 metre deep drilling on the Soyuz gold prospect, located west of Tarcoola. Previously reported RAB drilling defined an area of approximately 1200 metres by 200 metres anomalous in gold. Drilling costs are being subsidised by the SA Government under its PACE funding program. The slim-line drilling rig is selected to enable optimum drill site location, as larger RC rigs are unable to negotiate the surface sand dunes in the area.

Tasmanian exploration drilling (Stellar 100%)

Drilling has commenced on base metal targets on the west coast of Tasmania. On the Heemskirk licence, a single hole to test a magnetic anomaly just north of a small open pit tin mine has intersected visible iron sulphides over considerable widths. Assay data to determine the presence of mineralisation is expected for reporting in the March 2006 Quarterly Report.

At the nearby Alpine copper prospect, previous work by CRA Exploration (CRAE) in the 1980’s outlined anomalous copper mineralisation within a geophysical target zone of some 1 kilometre length. The planned three diamond drill holes are testing below and along strike of the copper mineralisation identified by CRAE drilling.

On the Ramsay licence, located between the old Mt Bischoff and Cleveland tin mines, geological mapping to identify or confirm the presence of ultramafic units has commenced, with the view to identifying drill targets. The Ramsay licence is interpreted to contain ultramafic rocks in close proximity to mineralising granites, with potential to host nickel deposits of the west coast Tasmania style.

Goldfinger Prospect, Broken Hill, NSW (Stellar earning 51%, option to 60%)

At Goldfinger, two diamond holes have just been completed. Assay results are expected to be available within the next month, which will greatly assist interpretation........

CASPIAN OIL & GAS

Farmout of Ghana Diamond Interests

Caspian subsidiary Leo Shield Exploration Ghana Limited has farmed out its 330sq km Osenase reconnaissance licence to ASX listed Paramount Mining Corporation Limited.

Osenase is located in the Birim Diamond Field in Ghana, which has produced over 100 million carats of diamonds and is one of the world’s largest economic alluvial diamond bearing provinces. The concession contains both alluvial and hard rock diamond occurrences, as well as gold and columbite-tantalite minerals in alluvial materials.

Under the staged option/farmin arrangement, Paramount will spend at least US$40,000 in the first six months to assess the project. It can then elect to extend the farmin arrangement by issuing 400,000 Paramount shares and 500,000 options exercisable at 20 cents each by 31 May 2009 and spending US$200,000 within the next eighteen months. On completion of that program, Paramount can acquire an 85% interest in the project by issuing 800,000 Paramount shares and 1,000,000 options exercisable at 20 cents each within three years to Leo Shield, leaving Leo Shield with a 5% carried interest and the Government of Ghana with 10%.- Web Site

JUBILEE MINES

Prospero Resource and Drilling Update

Jubilee Mines NL (ASX: JBM) is pleased to announce that following the inclusion of infill diamond drilling results, an updated resource has been estimated for the Prospero nickel deposit, located 4.5km south of the existing Cosmos Nickel Operations.

In addition, a series of new diamond drilling results (outside of the current resource boundary) has extended the mineralisation at least 130 metres down plunge and down dip confirming the potential for additional substantial growth of the Prospero Deposit.

Prospero Resource

Following the discovery of the Tapinos nickel deposit in the second half of 2005, Jubilee focussed the majority of its drilling resources in the September and December 2005 quarters on the rapid definition of Tapinos. Drilling at the Prospero Deposit during this period focused primarily on infill drilling to increase the JORC confidence level of the deposit.

CAMDEN GAS PROJECT ON TRACK TO MEET 14.5PJ PER YEAR AGL SUPPLY AGREEMENT

Ten-year contract expected to generate A$200 million for Sydney Gas

Sydney Gas Ltd (SGL) released a production report for January 2006 today, showing production was in-line with the high levels of output achieved from its jointly owned Camden Gas Project in recent months.

SGL and its joint venture partner, The Australian Gas Light Company (AGL), deliver coal seam gas (CSG) to AGL under a 10-year contract (with a five-year option), which is expected to provide more than A$200 million in revenue to SGL. Following a ramp up in production over the next three years, SGL expects the joint venture will be able to supply AGL with up to 14.5 Petajoules (PJ) of gas a year. CSG production from the Camden Project is currently at a rate of over 4PJ a year and is expected to increase substantially as the ramp-up program intensifies.

Production of CSG has grown substantially over the last 12 months and sales reached A$1million for the first time in October 2005. This level of production has been sustained over the past three months. Record output of 350 Terrajoules (TJ) and sales of A$1.069 million were recorded in December 2005.....- Web Site

Proposed acquisition of one third stake in Cerrejón coal operation for US$1.7 billion

Xstrata plc announces the proposed acquisition of 33 1/3% of the Cerrejon thermal coal operation in Colombia, from Glencore International AG for a cash consideration of US$1.7 billion. Cerrejón is a privately-owned, independently-managed joint venture in which BHP Billiton plc, Anglo American plc and Glencore each own a one third stake.

The proposed acquisition will provide Xstrata with a meaningful interest in one of the world's largest and lowest-cost export open pit coal mines, with a reserve base in excess of 900 million tonnes. An expansion is underway to increase Cerrejon's production from 26 million tonnes in 2005 to an annual production capacity of 32 million tonnes, with further incremental brownfield expansions currently being assessed. The proposed acquisition will be financed through new bank debt facilities and is expected to be immediately earnings and cash flow accretive.

Cerrejon is located in North-East Colombia, ideally positioned to supply the growing US import market from its own dedicated rail and port facilities. The high quality thermal coal produced from Cerrejón is attractive to the US power generation market due to its low ash content, low sulphur dioxide emissions profile and high calorific value. Declining production, infrastructure and regulatory constraints facing some domestic US producers offer further opportunities for Cerrejon to grow its share of the fast-growing US import market for thermal coal. The US Energy Information Administration predicts that demand from US coal-fired plants will increase by 110 million tonnes over the next 10 years.

In addition, the low-cost nature of the operations and the freight advantage that Colombia enjoys over South Africa will enhance Xstrata Coal's highly competitive position in the major European market....... - Web Site

WALL STREET

A mixed economic picture sent stocks tumbling Tuesday, with the Dow Jones industrials falling more than 100 points after investors were unnerved by weakness in home sales, consumer confidence and manufacturing. An upward revision in the fourth-quarter gross domestic product, meanwhile, raised worries about higher interest rates. he GDP showed that the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.6 percent, much better than the 1.1 percent the Commerce Department initially estimated and beating the 1.5 percent economists predicted.

The day's other data showed soft spots in the economy. Sales of existing homes fell for the fifth consecutive month January.

Gold bullion rose in late trade on Tuesday, boosted by U.S. dollar weakness and higher New York gold futures, as a flurry of speculative and technical buying lifted prices above chart resistance at $560 an ounce.

TELFER GOLD EXPLORATION PROJECT
(MTB 100%)

Following the review of the deep diamond drilling conducted last year, Barrick Gold of Australia Limited (Barrick) has informed the Company of its withdrawal from the Telfer Joint Venture. As the required minimum expenditure of $5 million was not met by Barrick, the Company remains with 100% equity in the project.

The Company believes that as a consequence of the recent significant rise in the gold price a number of situations exist that justify further exploration being conducted on its Telfer Project. An example is the Tim's Dome Prospect, where the Company is currently assessing historical drilling results conducted along a 2km strike (see attached diagram) with a view to delineating a resource which could be amenable to an open cut, heap leach operation. This review will be presented to the market in the near future........

KIHABE BASE METALS PROJECT, BOTSWANA
(MTB 100%)

DRILLING COMMENCES AT MT PENCK
SOIL & ROCK SAMPLING ENHANCES PROSPECTIVITY

Vancouver 27 February 2006 The Kanon Resources Ltd. ("Kanon") drill rig is on site and drilling has commenced at the Mt Penck gold property in West New Britain, Papua New Guinea. The drill rig is supported by Kanon's D6H Cat bulldozer and drilling is expected to continue throughout 2006. The objective is to define NI 43-101 compliant resources and test new gold mineralised zones as defined by soil sampling. The first drill assays are expected in April. Soil and rock sampling has enhanced the overall prospectivity of the property and has defined additional drill targets.

In the present program, 555 soil samples were collected with the highest result being 4.49g/t gold, 11 samples exceeded 1.0g/t gold, and 93 samples exceeded 0.1g/t gold. In addition to the soil sampling, 126 rock samples were collectd. Of particular interest is an apparently new area near Peni Creek South where two rock samples returned values of 9.07g/t and 57.1g/t gold and a 1m channel sample returned 38.2g/t gold.

The purpose of the sampling program was to provide a comprehensive geologically and geochemical assessment of the entire Mt Penck system prior to the commencement of drilling, scheduled to begin later this month.

The soil sampling defined three northerly trending zones of gold anomalism and likely gold mineralisation....... - Web Site
