Chairman's Address AGM
It is my pleasure to welcome you to this, our ninth Annual General Meeting.
As I wrote in my chairman's letter in the Annual Report for 2005 the fiscal year past has been one of consolidation for your company and since year end, I am pleased to report progress with a number of our projects.
You will be aware that the operator of the Bayou Choctaw programme in Louisiana, CLK Energy, experienced delays in acquiring suitable drilling equipment, had some legal issues, and then had to deal with the effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. It was not until 20th of February that they were able to mobilize a drilling rig and commence drilling the Australian Mineral Interests Well #1, in the Victory Financial Lease.
The well intersected hydrocarbon bearing sands in the Cib Haz Formation, and subsequent sidewall core and log analysis through the interval between 7700 and 7800 feet indicated a 74 ft pay zone. The well was completed for production and the two upper zones of the Cib Haz were perforated and produced gas at a rate 3.1 million cubic feet of gas per day and 60 barrels of condensate per day.
Although the well was unable to reach its planned total depth of 9100 feet, due to problems with the drilling mud pumps, detailed examination of bottom hole samples near the total depth of 8630 feet indicated penetration of the second objective, the lower Bol Mex sands with strong indications of hydrocarbons. This lower zone will be assessed by future drilling........ - Web Site
Intersections of up to 70% Zinc Sulphides (Sphalerite) together with Lead Sulphides (Galena)
Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
(Mount Burgess Mining NL 100%)
The Reverse Circulation (RC) infill drilling programme is continuing on the above project, designed to outline the overall geometry and grades of mineralisation to 150m vertical depth. Drill logs have now been received for KRC 025 drilled on Section 2 - see diagram attached.
KRC 025 (7821764N/501174E, -60deg/339deg) was drilled in front and up-dip of KIH 005 to test for mineralisation down to 50 m.
The following intersections were logged:
Between 10m and 51m there are 3 zones totaling 19 m which contain 5% to 70% Sphalerite (50%-70% Sphalerite was logged between 22m - 25m).
Between 19m and 51m there are 2 zones totaling 12m which contain 5% to 25% Galena.
Consistent with previous drilling, the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hangingwall.
Drilling is continuing on Section 2 with KRC 026 collared 30m in front of KRC025 and being drilled back toward KRC 025.
The Company is waiting for assay results from Drill Holes KRC 017 to KRC 025.
The Company has announced assay results from six wide spaced drill sections along a zinc, lead and silver soil geochemical anomaly, which is 2.4 km in length. Without taking into account the high grade zinc assays announced on 30 May 2006, these results have yielded average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 g/t silver, with significant credits for copper and vanadium. A scoping study conducted by ProMet Engineers, has estimated some 17,500,000 tonnes to 100m depth. An infill drilling programme is currently being conducted with the intention of upgrading this zone of mineralisation to an open pittable JORC compliant resource/ reserve down to a vertical depth of 150m.

Chinguetti Production - Update & Remediation Plan
Hardman Resources Limited (Hardman) provides the following update in respect of the production performance and plans for the Chinguetti oil field, offshore Mauritania, West Africa.
As previously announced, production for the period 1 to 10 May 2006 averaged 45mbopd. The average production for the period 1 to 29 May 2006 was 41mbopd, essentially from the four wells in the southern sector of the field. Recent short term production constraints have not impacted reserves and there is now a plan in place to remediate restrictions to field performance......... - Web Site

OPTION TO ACQUIRE ADVANCED MINERAL PROPERTIES IN GHANA
Highlights
Perseus Mining Limited has been granted an option to acquire the Ayanfuri gold mine and surrounding areas on the Ashanti Gold Belt, 25km south west of AngloGold Ashanti's Obuasi mine in Ghana.
The Ayanfuri gold mine produced over 300,000 oz of gold from a shallow oxide heap leach operation which commenced in 1994 - 23 shallow pits were mined, with most production from six granitoid intrusive orebodies ranging from 200m to 500m long and 30m to 120m wide.
Most of the Ayanfuri pits have mineralisation in the floor and limited below pit drilling confirms that gold grades extend to depth.
Remaining Indicated gold resources for four of the deposits within mining leases on the project area are estimated by Perseus to currently total approximately 268,000 oz (see table) and Inferred resources currently total 276,000 ounces.
This prime address on one of the world's major gold belts, along strike of one of the world's largest gold deposits (Obuasi), is under-explored for oxide gold mineralisation...... - Web Site

Amulet-1 Exploration Well UpdateTap Oil Limited provides the following update on the Amulet-1 well operations.
Location
The Amulet-1 well location is in Production Licence WA-8-L, in the Dampier Sub-basin.
Progress
As at 07:20 hours this morning (31st May 2006) the Amulet-1 well had drilled ahead to 1,986 metres measured depth and will continue to drill ahead to a revised total depth of 2,060 metres.
At 1822mRT the well encountered a zone of up to 26 metres (gross) which on preliminary data appears to be hydrocarbon bearing.
Over the next 24 hours it is anticipated that the well will reach its total depth and wireline evaluation will commence.
Tap Comment
Whilst the intersection of a hydrocarbon column is encouraging, until the formation evaluation programme is completed and the data log analysed it is not possible to be definitive about the results of the well at this stage.
The logging programme is expected to be completed by the end of this week after which a further announcement will be made.

COMET RIDGE SUBSIDIARY CLOSES ON PRODUCING PROPERTY AT TOW CREEK PROJECT IN COLORADO
The Directors of Comet Ridge Limited (ASX Code: COI) are pleased to advise that the company's wholly owned subsidiary, Comet Ridge USA, Inc., based in Denver, Colorado, has completed the producing property transaction on the Tow Creek Project in Routt County, northern Colorado, as announced on 16 May, 2006.
Comet Ridge has acquired a producing oil well on a 640 acre lease offering further development opportunities for US$120,000. Acquisition of this leasehold position is important as the lease forms part of the Coal View Federal Exploration Unit for which the company is in the process of securing regulatory approval.
The acquired oil well currently produces around 2 BOPD from the Niobrara Formation, but has not been operated to its optimum. The Company is planning to do some long overdue maintenance and intends to enhance the productivity of the well in the coming weeks. The well bore is also being assessed as a potential re-entry candidate for directional drilling.
This transaction marks Comet Ridge's first operated production in the USA. The Company will own 37.5% working interest in the well and acreage after partners Colorado Strike Inc (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed Strike Oil Limited (ASX Code: STX)) and Lynn Properties (a privately held Houston based oil & gas company) are assigned their 37.5% and 25% respective interests.- Web Site

Higher oil prices and sliding consumer confidence sent stocks plunging Tuesday as a weak sales report from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. raised concerns about discretionary spending.
Although the Conference Board's consumer confidence index fell less than expected, investors were nervous about an eroding consumer picture after Wal-Mart blamed its modest sales on the impact of gasoline and utilities prices on its customers.
More declines for the U.S. dollar fueled jitters about inflation and slowing global growth amid sharp drops in overseas stock markets.
Oil prices rose above $72 a barrel Tuesday ahead of an OPEC meeting in Venezuela and the start of the Atlantic hurricane season later this week.
Copper on the London Metal Exchange fell, together with the rest of the complex, on thin volumes that exaggerated any move, dealers said.
Gold futures closed at their highest levels in a week Tuesday, as weakness in the U.S. dollar steered investment demand toward the precious metals.

Drilling at Widgie Townsite and Scoping Studies at 132N Provide Encouraging Results
Titan Resources Limited is pleased to announce the following results from its 100% owned Widgie Townsite and 132N nickel deposits, located near Widgiemooltha in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
Widgie Townsite
Over the past twelve months Titan has completed a number of successful drilling programs at Widgie Townsite primarily to confirm the grade and thickness of a near surface, higher grade zone within the main (NO2) mineralised lens, and the narrower, higher grade NO1 lens located immediately to the west of NO2. The JORC classified resource for Widgie Townsite currently stands at 2.08Mt @ 1.89% Ni, at a 1% Ni cut off.
Utilising this resource model, a preliminary economic scoping study based on underground mining of the upper 200 metres of the NO1 and NO2 lenses was completed, indicating a potentially viable project with a pre-tax cash value of $14.8 million, based on a nickel price of $17,000/t.
The recent program of three holes, completed in April 2006 was designed to test the up plunge position of the near surface, higher grade zone of mineralisation within the NO1 lens.
The results from this drilling have been positive with intersections in the NO1 lens of 4.6m @ 2.78% Ni in WDD129, 1.0m @ 1.64% Ni in WDD130 and 1.7m @ 2.02% Ni in WDD131. The results from this drilling extend and improve definition of the higher grade zone within the NO1 lens up plunge to the north....
132N
The 132N deposit was previously mined by WMC Resources Ltd by an open cut in the early 1990’s, with production of 32,000t @ 3.45% Ni. The remaining resource of 396,000t @ 1.54% Ni (at a 1% Ni cut off) is located near surface and immediately down plunge to the north of the 40 metre deep open pit. Drilling has defined mineralisation up to 500m north of the pit and to 320m vertically below surface. The deposit remains open at depth......- Web Site

Intersections of Zinc Sulphides (Sphalerite) together with Lead Sulphides (Galena)
Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
(Mount Burgess Mining NL 100%)
The Reverse Circulation (RC) infill drilling programme is continuing on the above project, designed to outline the overall geometry and grades of mineralisation to 150m vertical depth. Since announcing drill logs of KRC 024 to the market on 26th May, the Company resolved to deepen this drill hole. Drill logs for the deeper sections have now been received for KRC 024 drilled on Section 8 - see diagram below.
KRC 024 (7821748N/501067E, -60deg/339deg) was drilled in front and up-dip of KRC 023 to test for mineralisation associated with that encountered at lower depths in KRC 023.
The following intersections (revised to incorporate the deeper drilling) were logged:
Between 19m and 124m there are 9 zones totaling 55m which contain 5% to 50% Sphalerite (50% Sphalerite was logged at 25m - 26m and 72m - 73m, 40% Sphalerite was logged at 103m-104m, 30% Sphalerite was logged at 102 - 103m, 112m - 113m and 120 m - 121m and 25% Sphalerite was logged at 100m - 101m and 116 - 117m.
Between 28m and 123m there are 9 zones totaling 58m which contain 5% to 25% Galena.
Consistent with previous drilling, the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hangingwall.
The drill rig has now moved to Section 2 with KRC 025 being drilled 30m in front and up-dip of KIH 005.
The Company is still waiting for assay results from Drill Holes KRC 016 to KRC 024.
The Company has previously drilled and announced assay results from five wide spaced drill sections along a zinc, lead and silver soil geochemical anomaly, which is 2.4 km in length. These results have yielded average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 g/t silver, with significant credits for copper and vanadium. A scoping study conducted by ProMet Engineers, has estimated some 17,500,000 tonnes to 100m depth. An infill drilling programme is currently being conducted with the intention of upgrading this zone of mineralisation to an open pittable JORC compliant resource/ reserve down to a vertical depth of 150m. - Web Site

Geodynamics is pleased to announce that the well was deepened by a further 174 feet (53m) to 13, 467ft (4,106m), using two tri-cone drill bits. Total depth drilled for the week was less than expected as drilling operations had to overcome sporadic well break out. A gyro survey conducted during the week under review showed that the position of the well is favourable, having deviated the well away from the previous side track.
It is estimated that the bottom of the well is now approximately 250ft (76m) from the Top fracture zone and 740ft (226m) from the Bottom fracture zone.- Web Site

Awarded Main Pass 91 Lease Gulf of Mexico USA
The US Dept of Interior - Minerals Management Service (MMS) has announced the award to Petsec Energy of the Main Pass 91 lease (2,923 acres) in the Gulf of Mexico, USA.
Petsec has a 100% working interest and an 83.33% net revenue interest in the lease which has a five year exploration term.
The new Main Pass lease is located in approximately 30 feet of water and is adjacent and to the north of the Company's existing Main Pass 19 & 18 leases where Petsec Energy discovered 15-18 Bcf of gas and 1.1 million barrels of oil net to Petsec earlier this year.
The new lease also adjoins the Main Pass 7 lease which was awarded to Petsec last week. Main Pass 91 is an old Mobil lease and has produced in excess of 180 Bcf of gas. Petsec held the lease in the mid 1990's and discovered in the order of 30 Bcf of gas prior to its sale in 2000...... - Web Site

Condor & Harrier Prospects deliver excellent results
CONDOR AND HARRIER PROSPECTS DELIVER EXCELLENT RESULTS RAB drilling at the Condor and Harrier Prospects has returned yet another set of strong intercepts that further reinforces the view that the Golden Gate trend is exceptionally well-endowed in terms of gold mineralisation and that there is the potential to develop a series of high-margin resources in this area. These prospects are located less than 500 m from the proposed Golden Gate open pits, and in the case of the Harrier Prospect, the mineralisation intersected by the drill holes is located along the natural strike extension of the fault zone that hosts the high-grade ABC reef reserve. The results for the Condor Prospect represent the first drill test of this mineralised quartz reef. Both prospects remain open along strike and at depth, and more work is planned in the coming months on these prospects and a series of other equally attractive targets along the Golden Gate trend.
Highlights from the recent RAB drilling include:

Wall Street extended its rebound to a third session Friday, ending with a moderate advance after personal consumption data bolstered the outlook for the economy and interest rates. The major indexes finished the week with solid gains.
The Commerce Department reported that consumer spending jumped 0.6 percent last month, the biggest increase since a 0.8 percent rise in January. However, when inflation -- reflecting $3 and more for a gallon of gas -- was removed, the increase in spending was a much smaller 0.1 percent.
Gold futures climbed Friday in a holiday-shortened trading session, but prices still ended the week with a loss of more than $6 an ounce.

Wall Street closed sharply higher after a drop in existing home sales and sturdy economic growth calmed investors' inflation jitters and motivated them to buy stocks following a two-week decline.
While first-quarter gross domestic product growth was revised upward to an annual rate of 5.3 percent, that figure came in below forecasts for a 5.8 percent gain. The adjustment came as evidence that the economy is expanding but at a controlled pace, which could keep the Federal Reserve from lifting short-term lending rates.
Gold futures closed $11 higher Thursday on the heels of the previous session's $36 retreat to a one-month low, as a smaller-than-expected revision to U.S. gross domestic product estimates weighed on the dollar and prompted investors to take refuge in the precious metal.
PRESS RELEASE
Trenching at Mt Nakru Suggests Intermittant Gold Present in Structural Zone in Excess of 1km long by 300m wide
Vancouver 25th May 2006. An assessment of current and previous trenching at the Nakru 1 prospect suggests that a structural zone over 1km in length and 300m in width contains widespread gold above 0.1g/t and sporadic gold above 0.5g/t. This zone, with further exploration, could yield a major bulk mineable gold target. Best trench intervals from the current and previous programs include 95m at 2.9g/t gold (inc. 35m at 7.3g/t gold) and 42m at 2.79g/t gold.
The Mt Nakru copper/gold/molybdenum system in Central New Britain, Papua New Guinea is effectively owned 75% by New Guinea Gold and 25% by Vangold Resources. The Mt. Nakru intrusive complex covers 40 sq kms, much of which is mineralised to a greater or lesser degree. Four prospects have been identified named Nakru 1 to Nakru 4. In addition the Plesyumi porphyry copper system occurs within this license (see update summary press release noted below ).
A full summary of the entire project is available in a complimentary release titled "Update Summary - Mt Nakru Copper/Gold/Molybdenum Project", dated 25th May 2006.

US$62M BANK FINANCE OFFER FOR DAIRI PROJECT
After considering a number of financing offers from banking and smelting groups, Herald Resources Ltd is pleased to announce that it has mandated Société Générale Australia Branch to provide senior finance facilities to develop the high-grade Dairi zinc/lead project. The proposed US$62m of loan facilities will consist of two tranches, namely:
(1) Project Facility - US$54m
(2) Cost Overrun Facility - US$8m
The above facilities are subject to completion of due diligence, bank credit and joint venture partner approvals. In conjunction with the US$90m of equity already raised by the Company, Herald is confident that the above facilities will be more than sufficient to fund the estimated project financing requirement of US$140m.
The Société Générale offer was chosen having regard to a number of factors, including minimising dilution and maximising flexibility in relation to marketing of the Dairi concentrates. - Web Site

EXPLORATION UPDATE DRILLING ACTIVITY
Jamieson - Victoria
A program of surface diamond drilling has commenced at the Eldorado mine in the Woods Point-Walhalla goldfield in Victoria, targeting repetitions of the high-grade, quartz reefs within a dyke bulge that recorded 30g/t from historic production.
ELD1 has intersected alteration and a vein set over 4.5 metres at a depth of 86.5 metres downhole, and will test for further quartz veins within the dyke to a depth of 500m.
The current program of 3,000 metres is planned for drilling on the Eldorado and adjacent mine areas over the next two quarters.
Miclere - Queensland
A program of 2,500 metres of RC drilling on four target zones has commenced at Miclere.
The drilling is targeting gold hosted at three geological unconformities within the Miclere Basin which stretches over a 10 kilometre length and up to 2 kilometres wide. Targets include areas around previously reported intercepts:
MICH100 - 1m @ 32.6g/t at 14 metres depth on the eastern flank of the basin
MICH105 - 1m @ 18g/t at 90 metres depth south of the Miclere workings
MICH110A - 2m @ 60g/t at 40 metres depth south of the Miclere workings
MICH99 - 1m @ 48g/t at 85 metres depth at Black Ridge at the southern end of the basin and infill drilling at Black Ridge around holes ranging from 2-12g/t over one metre intervals.
Historically coarse gold has been recovered from Miclere. Drill samples will be tested through a gravity concentrator with concentrates and tails being subject to laboratory analysis.

Stocks finished another erratic session modestly higher Wednesday after durable goods and home sales data helped ease investors' anxiety about whether the Federal Reserve will continue raising interest rates. A sharp drop in April orders for big-ticket manufactured items drove hopes that the Fed has lifted rates enough to slow a robust economy. And while the Commerce Department also reported an unexpected jump in new home sales last month, overall housing demand continues to fall gradually after five years of record sales.
Oil prices fell by almost $2 a barrel Wednesday after weekly government data showed rising supplies of gasoline and flat demand.
Comex copper gave back most of its gains reached amid Tuesday's monstrous rally and settled lower as profit-taking ensued on Wednesday at the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Gold futures rose as much as 1% in electronic trading Wednesday evening following a loss of more than $36 an ounce in the regular session, when stronger-than-expected new-home sales fueled a rise in the U.S. dollar and damped investment demand for precious metals.

SABODALA GOLD PROJECT - INFILL DRILLING NEARLY COMPLETE; Stage 1 Open Pit Design Underway
Further infill drilling (Phase 2) at Mineral Deposits Limited's ("MDL") Sabodala gold project in southeast Senegal, west Africa has identified additional significant high grade mineralisation (see Attachment 1).
With respect to the infill drilling within the Phase 1 limits of 450 by 300 metres, the significant gold intersections in grams per tonne (g/t) with drilling at an incline of 60 degrees include:
MDL and independent consultants RSG Global Exploration and Mining Consultancy of Perth have taken the step of closing off the drilling and assay results for the Stage 1 Pit - Bankable Feasibility Study.
The nominal cut-off date was 15 May 2006. Included in the database are 257 drill holes representing all of the Phase 1 programme together with the majority of the planned Phase 2 programme aside from 12 drill holes. MDL anticipates completion of the remaining infill holes by the end of May.
The company now recognises that the mineralisation is extending in a more northwards direction than expected, as exemplified by SBRC311D which intersected 20m @ 6.8g/t Au from 362m (downhole). This hole is the furthest northern step-out hole, 320 metres north from MDL's area of infill drilling. The success of the step-out drilling in the Phase 2 programme will result in additional drillholes in this area. The success of the step-out drilling is likely to support a subsequent expansion of the open pit following commencement of mining operations (see Attachment 2).
Step-out drilling will also be undertaken southwards to encompass the Sutuba prospect located some 600 metres south of Sabodala. At Sutuba, previous drilling by BRGM intersected gold mineralisation at shallow depth in each of its three holes. The best intersection was 7.65m at 3.5g/t gold in SUT 1 (see Attachment 3).

Intersections of up to 60% Zinc Sulphides (Sphalerite) together with Lead Sulphides (Galena)
Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
(Mount Burgess Mining NL 100%)
The Reverse Circulation (RC) infill drilling programme on the above project designed to outline the overall geometry and grades of mineralisation to 150m vertical depth is continuing. Drill logs have now been received for KRC 023 drilled on Section 8 - see Diagram below.
KRC 023 (7821725N/501080E, -60deg/339deg) was drilled in front and up dip of KRC 021 to test for mineralisation to 50m vertical depth. Because continuing zones of significant Sphalerite and Galena mineralisation were intersected at greater depths and further west of any previously encountered mineralisation the hole was drilled to a final depth of 168m.
The following intersections were logged.
| 79 - 106 m |
27m of 20% sulphides including Sphalerite and Galena |
| 136 - 140 m |
4 m of 20% to 50% Sphalerite, with 20% Galena at 137-138m |
| 140 - 141 m |
1m of 30% Galena |
| 142 - 143 m |
1 m of 20% Sphalerite |
| 147 - 151 m |
4 m of 30% to 50% Sphalerite with 10% to 30% Galena |
| 151 - 155 m |
4 m of 60% Sphalerite with 20-30% Galena |
Consistent with previous drilling, the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hangingwall.
Drilling is continuing on Section 8 with KRC 024 being drilled 30m in front of KRC 023 to test for any further mineralisation in this western zone........

Wall Street closed moderately lower Tuesday after worries about the impact of high oil prices on the economy triggered a late-day drop, erasing an earlier moderate advance.
A rebound in oil and gold prices had lifted stocks through most of the session following their recent heavy losses. But an afternoon news report that quoted Energy Secretary Sam Bodman as saying soaring energy prices could damage economic growth ignited traders' inflation concerns and set off renewed selling.
Crude futures gained more than 2 percent Tuesday, as scientists' predictions about the next Atlantic hurricane season and a fire at a Louisiana refinery renewed concerns about potential supply disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico.
Gold futures gained $16 an ounce, copper prices rallied more than 12% and silver futures closed 6% higher Tuesday, fueling speculation that the downward correction from the price peaks almost two weeks ago may have come to an end.

Uganda: Block 2 - Mputa-2 Appraisal Well
Mputa-2 reached a total depth of 1,344 metres at 9:30am, Saturday 20 May, shallower than the planned depth for the well of 1,500 metres, as all horizons were intersected high to prognosis.
At midnight on Monday 22 May wireline logs were being run for evaluation purposes.
Mputa-2 is a step-out appraisal well 3 kilometres from the Mputa-1 discovery, with two principal objectives; the first to determine the lateral extent and potential of the upper oil bearing reservoir in Mputa-1 and the second to target the potential for extensive stratigraphic trapping of the thicker lower zone intersected in Mputa-1.
The well confirmed the lateral extent of the upper reservoir sands although this interval appears to be water wet in Mputa-2. A core was taken which will determine reservoir parameters useful for assessing production potential at Mputa-1. The widespread lateral extent of this reservoir unit is encouraging for the potential of the Mputa-1 discovery....... - Web Site

Production commences from three new wells at Main Pass 19, Gulf of Mexico, USA
Production has now commenced from the G-4, G-5 and G-7 wells at Main Pass 19 in the Gulf of Mexico, USA.
These wells were part of a four well drilling programme undertaken at Main Pass 19/18, from the Main Pass 19 platform between December 2005 and March 2006. All four wells were successful and discovered 15-18 billion cubic feet of gas and 1.1 million barrels of oil, net to Petsec.
The three new wells are currently flowing at a total rate of approximately 15 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day which is equivalent to 7,000 MMcf/day net to Petsec (45.84% net revenue interest).
The Main Pass 18 G-6 well (Petsec 100%), which discovered a net 7.5 Bcf of gas and 1.1 million barrels of oil, has not yet been brought into production pending settlement of a dispute of access to the Main Pass 19 platform with Petsec Energy’s joint venture partner. - Web Site

Wall Street showed some signs of stability Monday, posting a moderate decline after falling sharply early in the session in response to sinking commodities prices. The Nasdaq composite index was hit hard as technology stocks fell out of favor with risk-averse investors, but it also finished above its lows for the day.
After dropping along with markets in other countries, U.S. stocks managed a modest comeback including a brief foray into positive territory by the Dow Jones industrials shortly before the close. But with the outlook for inflation and interest rates still unclear, traders were nervous about buying stocks affected by the sliding price of gold and other metals, as well as riskier investments such as tech issues.
The retreat in commodities overshadowed a rebound in bonds and a recovering U.S. dollar.
Gold futures climbed Monday, recovering from a three-week low to post their first gain in four sessions as some traders viewed the metal's more than $60-an-ounce drop since May 11 as a buying opportunity.

Intersection of Zinc Sulphides (Sphalerite) and Lead Sulphides (Galena)
Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
(Mount Burgess Mining NL 100%)
The Reverse Circulation (RC) infill drilling programme on the above project, designed to outline the overall geometry and grades of mineralisation to 150m vertical depth is continuing. Drill logs have now been received for KRC 021 and KRC 022, drilled on Section 8, (refer to diagram attached).
KRC 021 (7821706N/501091E, -60deg/339deg) was drilled to test for mineralisation down to 100m vertical depth
As anticipated, the following intersections were logged.
| 4 - 30 m |
Hangingwall dolomite with shear zones/fracture zones and trace oxidized sulphides |
| 68 - 74 m |
Quartzite containing 10% Sphalerite ? and 5-15% Galena |
| 84 - 92 m |
Quartzite containing 3 - 20% sulphides - predominantly Galena |
| 138 - 148 m |
Quartzite containing 4 - 20% sulphides - 50% of which are Sphalerite and Galena |
KRC 022 (7821675N/501110E -60deg/339deg) was drilled underneath and down dip of KRC 021, to test for mineralisation down to 150m vertical depth.
As anticipated, the following intersections were logged.
| 9 - 74 m |
Hangingwall dolomite |
| 114 - 126 m |
Quartzite containing 10-50% sulphides with 25-50% Sphalerite between 122-124 metres |
| 129 - 151 m |
Quartzite containing 5-10% Sphalerite and Galena |
| 160 - 170 m |
Quartzite containing 5-50% Sphalerite and Galena |
Consistent with previous drilling the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hangingwall.
Assay results from drill holes KRC 016, 017, 018, 019, 020, 021 and 022 will be announced to the market as soon as available. Whilst sample preparation at the laboratory is proceeding according to plan, delays in receiving assay results have been caused through further operating problems with the laboratory's ICP machine and time taken to import a replacement for the faulty part. Latest reports from the laboratory confirm that this part has now been received and is currently being installed.
Drilling is proceeding on Section 8 with KRC 023 being drilled 25 m in front of KRC 021......

RUSINA BUOYED BY ROBUST CASH FLOW
OUTLOOK FOR ACOJE’S CHROMITE
A net present value of A$62.4 million has been determined for the chromite target ore still unmined at Rusina Mining NL’s platinum group metal (PGM) and nickel project at Acoje in the Philippines.
A new study has found that mining the chromite over the next seven years would generate pre-tax revenue of more than US$182 million (A$240 million) on current prices and an estimated total cash flow of more than US$78 million (A$103 million).
The robust outlook at Acoje for the in-demand metal is contained in an investor presentation which highlights the preliminary scoping study results released by Rusina to equity markets over the weekend.
The scoping study is focused on recommencing mining by mid next year subject to permitting on the estimated 6 – 6.6 million tonnes of chromite target ore remaining at Acoje.
The investigations are separate to the Perth-based company’s platinum and nickel exploration in the project area at Luzon, northwest of Manila. - Web Site

Wall Street stabilized at the end of a difficult week Friday, closing moderately higher as investors shook off some of their stress about interest rates. The major indexes each lost about 2 percent this week.
Oil prices fell Friday after Iran's minister to OPEC said the group was not likely to cut production at its June meeting despite signs of surplus supply in the market.
Copper fell over 6 percent on Friday with aluminium, zinc and gold also sliding on worries about economic growth and inflation, dealers said.
Comex gold was no exception to the general sell-off across commodities on Friday at the New York Mercantile Exchange as it dipped to a 3-week low as some inflation fear concerns eased and the dollar made gains against the euro.

PASMINCO CREDITORS APPROVE $14M LEGAL SETTLEMENT
Further to its release to the ASX on 5 May 2006, Aquila Resources Limited is pleased to announce that today the creditors of the Pasminco Group Companies (comprising Pasminco Limited and its subsidiaries) have approved the payment of a $14 million dividend to Aquila (as recommended by the Pasminco Group Administrators) in settlement of legal actions brought by the Company in relation to its proposed purchase of a 49% interest in the Ernest Henry Mine.
The payment of the $14 million dividend to Aquila is unconditional and concludes a dispute that has been ongoing since late 2001 and will avoid further substantial expense and delay, which would inevitably arise if the matter went to a trial. - Web Site
OPTION EXERCISED OVER THE LAVRINHA GOLD PROSPECT
The Company is pleased to advise that, following due diligence investigations, its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary Trans Pacific Gold Mineracao Limitada has exercised its option over the Lavrinha prospect and other properties in the Pontes e Lacerda region in western Mato Grosso state in Brazil.
TPGM secured a 3 year option by completing a US$60,000 payment to Geomin Geologia e Mineracao Limitada (“Geomin”), the owner of the tenements. During the option period TPGM is to sole fund US$2 million on exploration, development and feasibility studies over the project tenements. At any time within the three years that TPGM meets this expenditure, or if TPGM identifies global resources within the project tenements of in excess of 250,000 oz, a formal joint venture will be incorporated with TPGM holding a 77.5% interest and Geomin holding a 22.5% interest.
The Pontes e Lacerda project comprises six tenements held by Geomin, or its principals, and a further 10 applications lodged by TPGM, being 77 sq km in total area. - Web Site

Wall Street extended its losses Thursday, a day after an inflation scare sent the Dow Jones industrial average on its biggest one-day drop in three years and put the Nasdaq composite index in the red for 2006.
Stocks drifted in a narrow range through most of the session but took a sharp turn lower in the last hour of trading, when a market already nervous about interest rates was unsettled by comments from Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President William Poole, who reiterated that the central bank's future rate hikes will depend on economic conditions.
Meanwhile, a fresh rise in oil prices fueled inflation fears overshadowed the bond market's rebound and a stabilizing U.S. dollar after its recent tumble.
Gold and silver prices slipped overnight, despite a sharp rise in US jobless claims and the US dollar's drop against the euro.
Press Release
FURTHER HIGH GRADE GOLD TO 16.05g/t & SILVER to 91g/t
INTERSECTED in DRILL HOLES at IMWAUNA
Vancouver 18th May 2006. Results for a further four holes of diamond core drilling have now been received for the resource definition drilling at the Imwauna Project within the Normanby Property, Papua New Guinea. A total of 94 holes have now been completed on the project.
Sixteen holes totaling 1,695m have been completed since drilling resumed in March 2006. Results are pending for 12 of these holes and drilling is continuing. Further results are expected to be released on a monthly basis for the remainder of 2006.
The results are as expected in this part of the system, with apparent widths of the main vein varying from 0.85 to 1.80m, gold values from 6.06g/t to 16.05g.t and silver values from 15.7g/t to 91g/t. True widths may be slightly less than the widths quoted above. However, in Hole IMH062 the results are enhanced with the intersection of 3 separate intersections in addition to the main vein with results shown in the table below. These additional intersections are encouraging in that it may be possible to plan a substantially wider open pit in this part of the system and each of the individual intersections (known as splits) may lead to a more substantial mineralisation.

Progress Report - Jeruk 3 Appraisal Well
The Jeruk-3 appraisal well is being drilled in the Sampang PSC, offshore Indonesia, approximately 1.8 km west of Jeruk-1 and 40 km south east of Surabaya.
Current operations include flow testing the well over the open hole interval 4939 m MD to 4978 m MD (4663 m TVDSS to 4696 m TVDSS).
After cleaning up, the well flowed oil at a choked-back rate of approximately 3,200 barrels per day with a gas to oil ratio of 230 scf/bbl through a 6.5 mm (16/64”) choke. The flow rate was constrained by surface facility limitations.
Prior to testing, a nine metre core sample was retrieved from the lower section of the test interval.
The forward program is to complete the current testing operations and then drill ahead to continue the evaluation of the reservoir interval. - Web Site

Project Update
Drilling commences at Warrior
Stellar Resources Limited is pleased to announce that a scout aircore drilling program has commenced at the Warrior palaeochannel uranium deposit in South Australia. This drilling is along existing tracks where uranium mineralisation has previously been identified in eight palaeochannel hosted deposits.
The drill rig has been mobilised to site and early indications are that it is successfully drilling through the partially consolidated palaeochannel sand beds and reaching the target depth at the palaeochannel/basement boundary.
The aim of this initial short program is to test various sites and the effectiveness of the drilling rig and technique. Samples will be dispatched in batches for ongoing analysis in Adelaide with results expected to be tabulated for release in June.
Drilling resumes at North Bendigo
A scout aircore drilling program has commenced in the southern, shallower portion of the North Bendigo JV area, testing concealed gold targets. A recent sighter diamond drillhole in the northern area was stopped short of target, due to difficult drilling conditions, so no effective test was conducted. This hole is, however, available for potential re-entry at a later date.
Drill program planned - Alpine, Tasmania
Site inspections have been made and a follow-up program of 3 diamond drill holes is scheduled to start in June. These holes will be collared at approximately 100m - 150m intervals from the recent AP4 drillhole, which intersected 22m @ 1.23% Cu.

Wall Street skidded lower Wednesday after an upswing in consumer prices intensified investors' fears that the Federal Reserve will extend its nearly two-year string of interest rate increases. The Dow Jones industrial average suffered its biggest one-day loss in three years, and the Nasdaq composite index turned negative for 2006.
Investors were spooked by a Labor Department report that its consumer price index swelled 0.6 percent in April, topping forecasts of 0.5 percent. But core CPI -- without food and energy -- also gained 0.3 percent, ahead of estimates and adding to worries that soaring oil prices have begun to lift prices elsewhere.
Oil prices fell below $69 a barrel Wednesday after government data showed the domestic supply of gasoline rising for the third straight week amid stagnating demand.
The spot price of gold on Wednesday declined from its earlier intraday high of US$718 a troy ounce as the US dollar gained against the euro, traders said.
NEW SHARE ISSUE
A General Meeting of Beaconsfield Gold shareholders is to be called to approve the placement of new shares in the Company. The placement ability will position the Company so that it can acquire the Allstate group’s 51.51% of the Beaconsfield Mine should that interest become available via a direct purchase or via Beaconsfield Gold’s comprehensive pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture Agreement.
All necessary documentation relating to the new share issue resolution will be mailed to shareholders shortly and it is intended that the meeting will be held in June.
Approval will be sought to place up to 60 million new shares (up to 37% of existing issued shares) to sophisticated investors at a price not less than 34 cents per share (approximately 80% of the last ASX price of 43 cents).

Mt Woods Copper-Gold Discovery
Goldstream is pleased to announce the discovery of a new zone of copper-gold mineralisation on its 100% owned Mt Woods project, south east of Coober Pedy in South Australia. The discovery is located within the highly prospective Mt Woods Inlier, 50km northwest of the Prominent Hill deposit.
Reconnaissance RAB drilling, as part of the Black Hills programme, intersected a zone of copper-gold mineralisation, including 22m @ 0.3%Cu and 0.1g/t Au in hole MWRAB081. The anomalous zone, which is open to the east and west, is approximately 400m wide and has been traced over 1.2km of strike. This anomaly occurs on the end of 3 RAB drill traverses (Figure 1) with analytical results from traverses to the east, yet to be received. The iron and rare earth geochemistry in association with the copper and gold is typical of the regional Hiltaba IOCG mineralising event.....- Web Site

VPE: Drilling Report for Jindivik-1 PEL 115SA Cooper Basin
Victoria Petroleum NL as Operator for the PEL 115 Joint Venture advises that at Jindivik-1 at 0600 hours Central Standard Time (CST) 15 May the operation was carrying out wire line logging after reaching total depth of 1,700 metres.
Over the weekend, Drill Stem Test No.1 was run over the interval 1,314 – 1,335 metres to test the oil shows recorded in Core#1 in the Murta formation. The drill stem test also covered the interpreted oil water contact for the Murta Oil Pool and recovered a small volume of water from the underlying Murta sands below the greater Mirage Oil pool oil water contact.
Preliminary analysis indicates that the Murta oil reservoir unit in Jindivik-1 is low permeability, reflecting the variability of the Murta oil sand reservoir quality over the Greater Mirage Murta Oil Pool area. - Web Site

PETERSON #1 LIFTS LAVACA COUNTY SUCCESS RATE TO 79%
The Directors of Amadeus Energy Limited wish to announce the weekly drilling update report as follows:
Exploration wells:
Peterson #1
Type: Gas development
Location: Halletsville South, Lavaca County, Texas
Target Depth: Test of the Wilcox sands at 9,200 feet
Working Interest: 29.7%
Operator: Trio Consulting & Management LLC – Wichita Falls, Texas.
Status: The Peterson #1 well has been drilled to a depth of 9,200 feet and has been cased for production testing. The well, which was intended to define the northern extent of the Gerdes Wilcox field, encountered three of the field pay zones, at 6,000', 7,600' and 8,150'. However, these were generally in off-structural positions, resulting in thin pay columns of up to 10 feet. The results of the well have defined the field area as being in the previously estimated range, of 250-300 acres. Testing of the well will commence within the next seven to ten days.
To date, 11 out of 14 wells have been successfully drilled in Lavaca County, a success rate of 79%.
Hoffer #1
Type: Gas wildcat
Location: Hoffer, Lavaca County, Texas
Target Depth: 11,500 feet
Working Interest: 50% Operator: Trio Consulting & Management LLC – Wichita Falls, Texas.
Status: The Hoffer #1 well was spudded on 16 May (Texas time) and has progressed to a depth of 915 feet.
Update of successful well:
Anderson #1
Type: Gas development
Location: Halletsville South, Lavaca County, Texas
Working Interest: 29.7%
Operator: Trio Consulting & Management LLC – Wichita Falls, Texas.
Status: The first two zones to be perforated in the Anderson #1 well have now been tested, flowing oil at a combined stable rate of 57 BOPD, gas at 900-950 MCFD with 170 barrels of water per day. The flow results are in line with expectations at these levels. These lower zones will not be placed on production until water disposal facilities have been installed. Testing of the well will now move up-hole to the 8,820' zone and the 8,500' zone, both of which are expected to be relatively water-free.
A program of testing and re-completion of wells is under way, to maximise field production, now that the field limits and main pay zones have been defined. This includes the conversion of an older well in the area to water disposal, which will greatly enhance field efficiency and economics. It is expected that this program will result in significantly increased Wilcox production from this project, in addition to the anticipated growth of production from the Midcox, the primary objective of the Lavaca County programs.- Web Site

AGM Media Release
PETSEC ENERGY ON TRACK FOR FURTHER STRONG RESERVES GROWTH – CHAIRMAN
Petsec Energy Ltd (ASX, PSA; ADR’s, PSJEY.PK)
Petsec Energy Limited is on track for a near doubling of its reserves base in the next two years with the drilling of significant oil and gas prospects in the Gulf of Mexico, USA, and China.
“Your Board remains confident of Petsec’s growth potential and its ability to build on our current reserves base of around 56 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) of gas to achieve a medium term goal of 100 Bcfe of reserves in 2006/2007,” the Company’s Chairman, Mr Terry Fern, told shareholders at today’s annual meeting in Sydney.
“Certainly, the achievements of recent years have formed a solid platform for the Company to reach that potential,” Mr Fern said.
“In the four years since the Company recommenced operations in the Gulf of Mexico, we have discovered some 72 Bcfe of gas from the drilling of 26 wells, 22 of which have been successful (not including the recent China oil discovery).
“Four oil and gas fields have been discovered and developed which have delivered free cash flow of over US$100 million to Petsec.
“This success is being recognised by the market such that the Company’s market capitalisation at the close of trade yesterday on the ASX was in excess of A$400 million.”..... - Web Site

Inflation fears pushed stocks modestly lower Tuesday as a surge in wholesale prices obscured data showing signs of a moderating economic growth.
While the Labor Department's producer price index showed that high energy costs have not yet affected core wholesale prices -- without food and energy -- a stronger-than-forecast jump in overall PPI compounded concerns that soaring oil prices will inevitably drive other prices higher.
A drop in new home construction fed hopes that economic growth is tapering and could bring an end to the Federal Reserve's campaign to boost interest rates and contain inflation. But a strong reading on industrial activity and a fresh rise in crude oil nonetheless kept investors on edge.
Gold futures closed with a gain of nearly $8 an ounce Tuesday as weakness in the U.S. dollar helped the metal recoup part of the 5% loss it suffered in the past two sessions.

GRAVITY STARTS DRILLING NINE OF ITS BEST TARGETS IN KASAI PROGRAM, DRC
Gravity Diamonds Limited has begun drilling the nine highest priority magnetic targets in its Luebo project area of the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). The drilling is seeking to identify diamondiferous kimberlite pipes believed to be the source of the alluvial diamonds being recovered by artisanal miners in local rivers.
The company says its planned 3,000 metre drilling program in the Luebo area of the highly prospective Kasai Craton is progressing well but drilling had been suspended since mid-April for planned maintenance of the helicopter required to move the drill rig between sites.
During this break in field activities, Gravity has reviewed the results from the drilling program thus far and re-evaluated the nine magnetic targets identified for this round of drilling. These targets have been scheduled at the conclusion of the Luebo program because they are located in forested surroundings where the company has had to provide its own access. They are the most remote but most exciting, according to Gravity managing director Mr Phil Harman.
The nine targets are located within 30 kilometres of the Luebo township from where the drilling program is being managed. All drill sites have been fully prepared and water supply lines installed, this work being completed prior to the recent field break, advises Gravity.
The activities of the artisanal miners in the local river systems provide the main pointer to the presence of diamondiferous kimberlites in the area, also supported by the numerous positive kimberlitic indicator mineral ("KIM") results returned from Gravity's earlier sampling program.
The company completed more detailed KIM sampling in February and the laboratory results of this work will be evaluated as they come to hand. This should enable Gravity to identify and prioritise additional magnetic targets for subsequent drilling.
The magnetic targets being investigated can be generated by rock types other than kimberlite but in areas with younger sedimentary rock cover, such as Luebo, the only way to test these targets is by drilling, states Phil Harman........

Q1 2006 Results
Singapore - Ivanhoe Mines today announced its results for the first-quarter of 2006. (All figures are in US dollars unless otherwise stated). The Company recorded a net loss of $23.2 million (or $0.07 per share) for the first quarter of 2006 compared to a net loss of $8.5 million (or $0.03 per share) in Q1'05. The increase in the loss from 2005 to 2006 is primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in income from our joint venture, a $7.7 million decrease in income from the sale of discontinued operations and a $6.4 million increase in stock compensation expense.
Total exploration and development expenditures capitalized in Q1'06 totalled approximately $10.3 million, compared to $2.3 million in Q1'05. In Q1'06, Ivanhoe Mines expensed $27.0 million in exploration and development activities, compared to $24.4 million in Q1'05. The majority of the $27.0 million was spent on Ivanhoe Mines' Mongolian properties ($22.6 million compared to $21.2 million in Q1'05). Approximately $17.0 million, or 75%, of the $22.6 million was spent on the Oyu Tolgoi Project and various coal exploration activities in the South Gobi region of Mongolia. The remaining 25% was mainly spent on the Kharmagtai project, regional reconnaissance, licence holding fees and general, in-country administrative charges.
At March 31, 2006, consolidated working capital was $99.8 million, including cash of $94.2 million, compared with working capital of $127.6 million and cash of $101.7 million at December 31, 2005.
On April 25, 2006, Ivanhoe Mines completed a financing that consisted of 18.4 million common shares at a price of $9.08 per common share (Cdn$10.28), representing an aggregate amount of $167.2 million (Cdn$189.2 million). - Web Site

Acquisition of Tintaya Copper Mine from BHP Billiton for US$750 million
Xstrata plc (“Xstrata”) announces its acquisition of the Tintaya mine and associated satellite deposits (“Tintaya”) in Peru, South America, from BHP Billiton Ltd (“BHP Billiton”) for US$750 million.
The acquisition price comprises an initial cash consideration of US$634 million and the assumption of US$116 million of debt. An agreed price participation arrangement may result in further deferred cash payments to BHP Billiton and will be based on prevailing copper prices upon completion of the transaction. At current prices these payments would total approximately US$60 million.
Two further conditional deferred payments of US$25 million each in cash may also be payable to BHP Billiton. The first such amount will be payable in July 2009 if the LME copper price exceeds certain levels from July 2008 to June 2009. The second amount will be payable if either of the Antapaccay or Coroccohuayco satellite deposits are developed prior to 2020. The aggregate consideration payable by Xstrata is subject to a cap.
The acquisition will expand Xstrata Copper’s current production portfolio with an additional 120,000 tonnes of copper in cathode and concentrate per annum. Tintaya will also provide Xstrata Copper with a unique opportunity to strengthen the company’s strategic position in southern Peru.
Together with Xstrata Copper’s existing copper business in Argentina (Minera Alumbrera Ltd which is managed and 50 per cent owned by Xstrata), Tintaya will consolidate Xstrata’s position as a significant Latin American copper producer. - Web Site

A late-day rebound left stocks mixed Monday as oil and gold prices tumbled and mild economic data lifted bonds from their recent lows.
News of a slowdown in manufacturing activity in the New York region brightened the outlook for interest rates and helped bond yields retreat from four-year highs. A drop in first-quarter existing home sales also reinforced views that interest rates have been raised enough to clamp down on economic growth.
Oil prices fell more than 3 percent Monday, dipping below $70 a barrel. Some analysts said the selloff was triggered by profit-taking.
June gold fell $26.80, or 3.8%, to close at $685 an ounce Monday, its lowest closing level since May 8. "To say that such a correction was overdue is to state the obvious," said Jon Nadler, an analyst at Kitco.com. "On the other hand, nobody should label today's events as an 'exodus' from precious metals or the start of a bear trend."

Operating Cash Flow Chinguetti
As Hardman has previously announced, production from the field averaged 66 mbopd for the month of March and 53 mbopd for April 2006. Production for the period 1 May to 10 May 2006 has averaged 45 mbopd.
The Operator has reported that the principal reasons for the lower production are the minimal contribution from the two production wells in the northern part of the field and gas and water management issues. The failure last week of a gas compressor onboard the FPSO, Berge Helene, will further delay the commissioning of gas re-injection to the Banda field and therefore resolution of facilities gas handling issues, as well as the availability of gas lift to support production.
Production from Chinguetti is not expected to increase significantly from the present level until well intervention and/or additional drilling takes place...... - Web Site

Intersection of Sulphides - Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 100%
The Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling programme which is designed to outline the overall geometry and grades of mineralisation to -150metres is continuing. The following drill logs have been received for KRC 020 drilled on Section 7, located 200m north east of Section 1 (refer to diagram attached).
KRC 020 (7821688N/500982E -60deg/339deg) was drilled to test the upper level of the 60m wide zinc, lead and silver mineralized zone intersected in Hole KRC 018.
As anticipated the following intersections were logged:
| 13 - 76m |
63m of quartzite containing oxidized sulphides ranging from 2-10% (40-57m, 17m of 5-10% with lead sulphide (galena) 1-2%). |
| 98 - 136m |
34m of quartzite containing sulphides ranging from 2-10% (98-105m, 1-8% zinc sulphide (sphalerite), 1-2% lead sulphide (galena). |
Consistent with previous drilling the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hangingwall.
Assay results (for KRC 016/017/018/019 and 020) will be announced to the market as soon as available. Because of a breakdown in the ICP machine at the laboratory, which now has been rectified, return of assay results has been delayed.
Drilling is proceeding on Section 8 which is 100m north east of Section 7 and 100m south west of Section 2.
The Company has previously drilled six wide spaced drill sections along a zinc, lead and silver soil geochemical anomaly, which is 2.4 km in length. Previous drilling has yielded average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 g/t silver, with significant credits for copper and vanadium. A scoping study conducted by ProMet Engineers, has estimated some 17,500,000 tonnes to 100m depth. An infill drilling programme is currently being conducted with the intention of upgrading this zone of mineralisation to an open pittable JORC compliant resource/ reserve down to a vertical depth of 150m.

SPZ DEAL PROGRESSES – CASH PAYMENTS RECEIVED
TasGold (ASX:TGD) is pleased to note that the arrangement with South Pacific Minerals Corp (SPZ) regarding the 100% return to TGD of the Papua New Guinea joint venture properties and equipment is proceeding as expected. The proceeds from the sale of TasGold’s 3 million South Pacific shares for a total of CAD ~$185,000 (~A$220,000) were received last Friday (75% of these shares are still escrowed by the TSX-V exchange and cannot be sold on the open market). In addition, required cash payments totalling C$64,000 (~A$75,000) were received last month to pay various debts and to allow the PNG properties to be kept in good standing.
SPZ have scheduled their Annual General / Special Meeting for June 15, 2006, on which date the deal is expected to be approved. The TSX-V has already approved the arrangement in principal, but will be required to issue their final approval before the transaction is complete.
A placement for $100,000 (714,285 shares + 714,285 Nov 2007 options) was concluded today at an issue price of 14c, which is ~4% above today’s market price. Cash reserves are now adequate to take the company forward for the immediate future.
The SPZ drilling rig (that will become TasGold’s property) was shipped from Port Moresby and has arrived at the port of Kimbe in West New Britain, PNG, in preparation for a drilling program at the Mt Andewa gold project scheduled for early in the third quarter, 2006. Additional funds will be generated by this rig through a leasing arrangement with New Guinea Gold Corp (a PNG explorer with 2 common directors to TasGold) for the next few months and also through a drilling contract undertaken on a commercial basis in Tasmania, that was initiated last Thursday. - Web Site

Norwest Energy advises that AED Oil Limited today announced the following:
“Puffin-7 Well Completion & Company Update
Puffin-7
AED Oil Limited (Company), as 100% owner and Operator of AC/L6, reports the lower completion 6 5/8” screens have been run and set over the interval 2,520.5m to 2,597.6m in the Puffin-7 well. (Depths are referenced to the rotary table (MDRT)). Packers have been set and tested inside the 9 5/8” casing, all tubing for the 4 1/2" upper completion run and the hanger made up and terminated. The completion of the horizontal section of the well represents another significant milestone for the Company. The Company is currently preparing to rig up the riser.
Following completions, flow testing of the well will be performed. Testing will be limited to an expected flow of 7,000 barrels per day limited by the capacity of testing equipment and the ability of the Company to flare safely which is dependent upon weather conditions. If flow testing is successful, within the test equipment constraints, an expected production flow rate in excess of 15,000 barrels per day will be confirmed.
Puffin
The Company has commenced a detailed reprocessing of the Onnia 3D seismic survey covering the Field in order to correlate the drill results from the Puffin-7 and Puffin-9 wells. Four hundred square kilometres of seismic data will be reprocessed over the coming months which will assist in the calculation of reserves for Puffin-7, Puffin-9 and Puffin-8. The Company will also use the reprocessed data to select future drilling locations and define exploration opportunities and development scenarios.
Corporate
The company also announces that it has now completed its initial hedging program in accordance with the project finance facilities agreement. The Company has entered into hedging contracts for 1.2 million barrels for delivery during 2007 and 2008 at an average price of approximately $US72.00
Earlier this year the Company renegotiated its royalty agreement with the previous owner of the tenement (Century Exploration International (CEI) and its related entities). This resulted in the Company granting an over-riding royalty interest (ORRI) to CEI of 1.25% over the field in replacement of CEI’s previous rights to an ORRI over Puffin-9.” - Web Site

Production & Drilling Update - Cliff Head Oil Field
ROC, as Operator of the Cliff Head Oil Field Development Project in the offshore Perth Basin advises that at 2300 hours on 11 May 2006, production commenced from the second well in the field, CH-12H, which is the first of the four horizontal production wells to be brought on stream.
As at 14 May 2006, CH-12H was producing at an approximate rate of 6,800 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD"). The CH-6 well, the first well brought on production earlier this month at a rate of approximately 1,000 BOPD, has been temporarily shut-in while repair work is undertaken on the electric submersible pump.
Field production rates are expected to continue to increase to greater than 10,000 BOPD as the four other designated oil producers, including three horizontal wells, are brought on stream during the next several weeks.
The produced oil is transported via a 14 km pipeline to the onshore Arrowsmith Stabilisation Plant from where it is trucked to the new BP Crude Oil Unloading Facility at Kwinana.
The first export of Cliff Head crude oil from the Arrowsmith Stabilisation Plant was delivered to the BP Kwinana Unloading Facility on the 5 May 2006. - Web Site

NAMAKWA SECURES OPERATING AGREEMENT FOR CAMUTUE DIAMOND PROJECT, ANGOLA
REVISED RESOURCE ESTIMATE FOR CAMBAY FIELD WESTERN HIGH AND EASTERN FLANK, GUJARAT, INDIA
RESOURCE ASSESSMENT – OS II AND EP IV HORIZON
Further to our ASX Release of 21 April 2006, additional work has been completed to define with a higher level of confidence the characteristics of the reservoir and the fluid composition in potential reservoir units of the Cambay Field. This work has resulted in the following estimates for the Oligocene OS II sandstone (see Figure 1) and the Eocene EP IV sandstone (see Figure 2) on both the Western High Trend and the eastern flank, which are two of the main objective horizons targeted in the phase-I drilling programme. No estimates for other potential reservoir units in the Miocene and Oligocene have been completed at this point. The estimates announced previously for the Oligocene OS II resource were only for the Western High Trend.
Accounting for the possible presence of oil and /or gas on the eastern flank and the western high trend, the best revised estimate of potential resource original volume in place has now increased by 48% from 29 to 43 million barrels of oil and by 409% from 34 to 173 billion cubic feet of gas. Approximately 52 billion cubic feet of gas has been produced from the eastern flank area. The range of volumes for oil are now 16 to 108 million barrels potential original oil resource in place, with the range of volumes for gas from 105 to 432 billion cubic feet of gas resource originally in place.
The first phase of drilling on Cambay Field is scheduled to commence in the second half of June, depending on the time taken to import additional equipment necessary for the drilling programme. - Web Site

Stocks faced a second day of steep losses Friday as the dollar weakened and bonds prices fell after data showing higher import prices stoked the market's inflation worries. The major indexes declined sharply this week.
A rebound in prices for imported goods further rattled investors already worried about interest rates. Although import prices were flat excluding oil, that did little to soothe concerns about energy costs lifting prices elsewhere.
Plunging consumer confidence also reinforced beliefs that high petrol prices at the pumps could choke consumer spending. Meanwhile, Wall Street weighed the importance of an unexpected decline in the trade deficit and cooling oil prices.
Crude futures dipped toward $72 a barrel Friday after the International Energy Agency reduced its 2006 world oil demand forecast. Earlier in the week, the U.S. Department of Energy said domestic gasoline supplies increased for the second straight week.
Natural gas futures declined to their lowest level in almost a year on Friday amid soaring inventories of the mostly domestic fuel used to heat homes and produce electricity.
Gold futures fell more than 1% Friday but tallied a gain of almost $28 an ounce for the week as traders bet on longer-term weakness in the U.S. dollar.
London was a sea of red at the close as battered resource stocks and nervous selling across the board left the blue chip index with just a few token risers.
The FTSE 100 endured its worst session for two years on Friday as a sharp overnight fall on Wall Street triggered a sell-off in resources stocks. The index slumped 129.9 points, or 2.2 per cent, to 5,912.1 while the FTSE 250 slid 263.6 points to 9,811.8, down 2.6 per cent.
Even though metals hit fresh all-time highs in London on Friday - platinum broke the $1,300 per ounce level for the first time - the mining sector was badly hit.
SUCCESSFUL RESCUE OUTCOME AT BEACONSFIELD MINE
The attached Media Release was made by Allstate Explorations NL (subject to deed of company arrangement) (“Allstate”) as manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture (“BMJV”).
The Beaconsfield Gold group of companies owns 48.49% of the BMJV, but does not manage the BMJV or the Beaconsfield Mine. The Allstate group of companies owns 51.51% of the BMJV and, via Allstate, manages both the BMJV and the Beaconsfield Mine.

REDPORT TRIPLES EXPLORATION AREA AT LAKE MAITLAND URANIUM DEPOSIT
Redport Limited (ASX: RPT) has today signed an agreement with View Resources (“View”) to acquire approximately 160km2 of highly prospective land surrounding its Lake Maitland Uranium Project in Western Australia.
The Lake Maitland Project is located 130km southeast of Wiluna, Western Australia and, with an insitu metal value of more than A$900 million, is one of Australia’s largest unmined uranium deposits.
The View tenements, which are located to the west and south of Redport’s existing Lake Maitland Uranium Deposit, triple Redport’s total exploration area in the Lake Maitland region.
The newly acquired ground has potential to hold further uranium mineralisation as drilling by various mining and oil companies in the 1970’s intersected carnotite to the west and south of the Lake Maitland Deposit. - Web Site

The Board of Directors of Union Resources Limited (“Union” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is taking immediate steps to progress the world class Mehdiabad zinc, lead and silver project (the “Mehdiabad Project”) from the exploration and feasibility phases to the more advanced phases of project financing and development.
Union has appointed Société Generale Corporate & Investment Banking (“Société Generale”) as its financial adviser in relation to the debt and equity financing of the Mehdiabad Project.
The Mehdiabad Project represents one of, if not, the largest undeveloped zinc resources in the world. Union believes that the appointment of Société Generale is a major step forward in raising the required finance for this very significant low grade, complex ore body which will result in the Mehdiabad Zinc Company becoming a major zinc producer, with operating costs in the lowest quartile of world production.
To prepare for this significant future growth the Company recognises the need to strengthen the management team in order to complete the task of building and operating a world class mine and zinc processing plant and industrial complex in Mehdiabad. Therefore Union, with the support of the current management, intends in due course to make a number of senior executive appointments to ensure Union is successful in its aim of developing the Mehdiabad Project and becoming a major zinc producer.
Union is also planning to re-locate its operational head quarters to either Europe or the Middle East to be nearer to the capital markets and potential sources of finance for this project. - Web Site

Anxious investors sent stocks plunging Thursday as surging commodities prices fed fears that the Federal Reserve would extend its two-year streak of interest rate hikes. The major indexes saw their biggest one-day drops since mid-January.
Gold prices surged to a new 26-year high above $725 an ounce Thursday on inflationary worries expressed by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Persistent concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions also lifted the metal, which is viewed as a hedge against currency weakness, inflation and geopolitical instability.
Silver prices reached levels not seen in a quarter of a century, and copper and platinum set records during the daytime session as traders bet on longer-term weakness in the U.S. dollar and strong global demand for metals. But prices for all three metals weakened in evening trading.
Crude oil futures jumped above $73 a barrel Thursday on intensified supply worries, after police said gunmen in Nigeria kidnapped at least two foreign oil workers from a bus in a second day of attacks targeting such workers.
SILVER SWAN NORTH JOINT VENTURE
Mithril Resources Ltd is pleased to announce that BHP Billiton has elected to participate, under the alliance, in the Silver Swan North Project in Western Australia. On the 21st of February 2006 Mithril announced a Joint Venture with FerrAus Limited (previously NiQuest Limited) on the Silver Swan North Project which is situated approximately 45 kilometres north-northeast of Kalgoorlie Western Australia and immediately adjacent to the Silver Swan nickel mine operated by LionOre Mining.
The Joint Venture area consists of one Exploration Licence E27/209 and four Mining Leases M27/262-265 which form a contiguous group covering an area of approximately 39 square kilometres.
The tenements cover a succession of Archaean felsic, mafic and ultramafic rocks. The ultramafic rocks are the host sequence for the Silver Swan and Black Swan nickel deposits.
BHP Billiton is committing a minimum expenditure on exploration of $222,000. Mithril has expended $100,000, which under the subscription agreement with BHP Billiton, entitles Mithril to a minimum carried interest of 5.1% and capacity to earn up to 15% in the joint venture should BHP Billiton / Mithril proceed to earn 75%.

Beach Petroleum advises that Sellicks-2, an appraisal well in Sellicks Oilfield in the Eromanga Basin, South Australia, spudded at 11:00 hours (CST) on 11 May 2006 (see attached map).
Sellicks-2 is the first of two wells in a program to appraise the Sellicks Field. Since its discovery in July 2003 the Patchawarra Formation sandstones have produced more than 250 thousand barrels of oil from Sellicks-1, and continue to produce strongly. However, new 3-D seismic mapping suggests that the discovery well may not be optimally located on the field, and the two appraisal wells are designed to test the potential for undrained oil updip and offset from Sellicks-1. Both wells will be deviated from a single well site located adjacent to the established field facility..... - Web Site

METALLICA’S DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS AND WORKING CAPITAL
BOOSTED BY $2 MILLION INVESTMENT BY US FUND
Metallica Minerals Limited (ASX Code ‘MLM’) has announced a $2 million capital raising to further accelerate development of its NORNICO heap leach nickel laterite project in North Queensland.
Metallica will make a placement of 8 million shares to Resource Capital Fund III LP (RCF), a $US240 million private equity fund based in Denver, USA, with a mandate to make investments in development and growth stage mining companies across a diversified range of commodities.
“This placement is a key part of further funding to accelerate Metallica’s programs to develop the flagship NORNICO heap leach nickel project,” Metallica Managing Director, Mr Andrew Gillies, said today.
“We are currently targeting a resource containing in excess of 200,000 tonnes of contained nickel by mid year (the current resource contains161,000 tonnes), sufficient for a 15 to 20 year heap leach mine life, and RCF’s investment will assist in expediting this milestone.
“A major portion of these funds will be committed to Metallica’s 100% owned NORNICO project and will be used to advance the ongoing atmospheric heap leach metallurgical testwork, bulk sampling and leach tests, undertake additional resource drilling to upgrade the Inferred Resource to Indicated and Measured Resource category, environmental work and a pre-feasibility study,” he said.
At an issue price of 25 cents a share, the placement will raise A$2 million. RCF will also be issued 4 million 40 cent options to subscribe a further $1.6 million by 30 June 2008.
The placement will represent approximately 8.8% of Metallica’s expanded, undiluted share capital and follows a similar capital raising and strategic alliance with listed Australian zinc-copper producer, Kagara Zinc Limited, in December 2005 and March 2006. No commission or other fees are payable on the placement to RCF. Following the placement Metallica will have funds on hand of more than $5 million.
A scoping study, being prepared for the NORNICO heap leach nickel project by Aker-Kvaerner, is expected to be received by Metallica later this month.
Metallica also announced that Mr. Peter Nicholson has been appointed as a Director of Metallica as RCF’s nominee. RCF retains the right to nominate a Director so long as it retains its entire holding of 8 million shares. Mr. Nicholson holds a BEng (Mining) and Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment. He has previous experience in mining, mine production planning and management, including with LionOre Australia (Nickel) Limited where he was the Underground Manager of the Emily Ann nickel mine, and prior to this with WMC Resources Limited. - Web Site

Wall Street ended an uneasy session mostly lower and bond prices tumbled Wednesday after the Federal Reserve suggested it might not be through raising interest rates if they're needed to fight inflation caused by soaring energy and commodities prices.
The Fed's decision to boost a key short-term lending rate to 5 percent was widely anticipated. But investors were rattled by the central bank's accompanying statement, which said more policy firming -- or rate hikes -- could be necessary to contain inflation. The Fed indicated it would be closely watching economic data to determine its next step.
The US dollar tumbled to a fresh one-year low against the euro and eight-month low against the yen.
Crude oil futures rebounded Wednesday as worries about overseas supply cutoffs countered a weekly government report showing increased oil and gasoline reserves and greater refinery output.
The price of gold rose to a fresh 25-year high Wednesday as investors sought a safe haven amid a weakening U.S. dollar and worries over the West's confrontation with Iran.
Copper rose to $8,000 a ton for the first time as a mine closure in Mexico fuelled speculation among investment funds, that returns from metals will keep outpacing stocks and bonds.

The Company has previously drilled six wide spaced drill sections along a zinc, lead and silver soil geochemical anomaly, which is 2.4 km in length. Previous drilling has yielded average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 g/t silver, with significant credits for copper and vanadium. A scoping study conducted by ProMet Engineers, has estimated some 17,500,000 tonnes to 100m depth. An infill drilling programme is currently being conducted with the intention of upgrading this zone of mineralisation to an open pittable JORC compliant resource/ reserve down to a vertical depth of 150m.

LATEST RESULTS FROM ERITREAN EMBA DERHO PROJECT INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE LOW, GRADE BULK MINEABLE ZINC/COPPER DEPOSIT
Asmara Joint Venture partner Sunridge Gold Corp. (SGC-TSX.V) reports assay results from a further six diamond drill holes from the Emba Derho volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) target in Eritrea. These latest assay results continue to demonstrate the very large size potential of Emba Derho with drill hole ED-015-D returning 227 metres of massive sulphide mineralisation grading 0.91% copper and 1.05% zinc with gold and silver values from 60 metres with higher grade intervals within this overall mineralized zone.
Drill hole ED-015-D is located 120 meters south of drill hole ED-012-D (previously reported) that intersected 203 meters of near-continuous massive sulphide mineralisation grading 1.77% zinc and 0.41% copper (see attached map).
In addition, drill holes ED-016-D and ED-017-D intersected significant gold mineralisation in the near surface oxide zone.
The Emba Derho gravity anomaly covers an area over 700 metres long and up to 300 metres wide....... - Web Site

Gold prices surged Tuesday above $700 an ounce -- a level not reached since 1980 -- as funds bought into the market, driven by weakness in the dollar, political tension in the Middle East and overall upward momentum in the commodities markets.
The dollar fell to a new eight-month low against the yen, making gold cheaper for holders of other currencies.
Other precious metals also gained from the bullish environment in commodities, which saw copper setting a new record and aluminum surging to an 18-year peak.
Wall Street ended Tuesday mixed, with an analyst's upgrade of General Motors Corp. carrying the Dow Jones industrials to a fresh six-year high and within reach of its best-ever close. Dell Inc.'s profit warning put a dent in the tech sector.
The Dow pressed toward its all-time closing high although investors anxiously awaited the Federal Reserve's next move on interest rates when policymakers meet Wednesday.

MACMIN SIGNS OPTION TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT OVER
TALLY HO SILVER PROJECT (CENTRAL QUEENSLAND)
Macmin's prime focus is currently the development of the Twin Hills Silver Mine at the Texas Silver Project in Southern Queensland, which should see the start of silver production in the third quarter of 2006. The long term corporate strategy of Macmin is to expand its silver resources base in keeping with its stated aim of becoming a significant ‘primary silver' explorer/developer in Australia.
To meet this strategy, the company continues to seek out high calibre silver projects and the Tally Ho Silver Project certainly provides us with such an opportunity.
Tally Ho is located 45 kms south-west of Mackay in central coastal Queensland, and consists of two (2) granted Mining Leases (ML's 4770 and 4727), a surrounding Mineral Development Licence (Application MDL272) and a twenty-four (24) sub-block (78 sq. km) Exploration Permit for Minerals EPM 15168.
The Tally Ho workings consist of two short adits, a shaft and further afield, numerous shallow pits and trenches. The mine area was discovered around the turn of the century and selectively mined in a very small way from then until about 1915. The current mining leases have been privately held since 1974 and there has been no systematic surface exploration activity for silver, and no drilling has ever been carried out.
The tenement holders believe that the most comprehensive report on the property is that of Blanchard (Chief Geologist MIM, 1937), who examined and mapped some of the ‘greisen' ('dogstooth' quartz vein) outcrops (Photo 1 & 2) in the area and carried out detailed channel sampling of the mineralisation along the 6 ft level (i.e. Adit No. 1), the 47 ft level (i.e. Adit No. 2) and the 64 ft level. Blanchard's best results came from Adit No. 2 where he recorded 13.1m at 273g/t silver, 2.69% zinc, 2.6% lead and 0.68% copper. He also recorded significant gold values but these could not be substantiated from re-sampling by the current tenement holders.......

UGANDA DRILLING PROGRAMME
Uganda: Block 2 - Mputa-2 – Appraisal Well
The Mputa-2 appraisal well spudded at 12:00 midday on Sunday 7 May 2006, 3 kilometres northwest of the Mputa-1 discovery well and 19 kilometres southwest of the Waraga-1 discovery. Since then Mputa-2 has been drilled to 130 metres and casing is being run and cemented before nippling up the diverter and drilling ahead to the planned intermediate casing point at 500 metres.
Mputa-2 is an appraisal well designed to determine the extent of the hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs seen at Mputa-1. Planned Total Depth of the well is 1500 metres. Seismic data indicates that thicker basal sandstone reservoirs are possible at this location.
Results from Mputa-2 will allow a more accurate determination of the reserve potential, commerciality and potential development plans for the fault block in which Mputa-1 and Waraga-1 have already discovered oil. Success at Mputa-1 and Waraga-1 has confirmed the presence of a working hydrocarbon system and trapping mechanism which merits appraisal and exploration drilling in a number of onshore locations on the fault terrace. In addition to this, the information gained from the current drilling program will aid in planning the exploration of the larger, deeper prospects within Lake Albert itself. - Web Site

High-grade near surface results from infill drilling of Central zone at Santa Rita
Infill drilling in the Central zone has returned excellent intersections. The best intersections (composited) are as follows:
These results exceed expectations for near surface mineralization in the Central zone both in terms of width and grade. The strength of these results indicates that, like the northern zone, the Central zone also represents an excellent source of near surface, high-grade mineralization that can make a significant contribution to early production. High grades from early production will facilitate a rapid payback of capital deployed, whilst shallower ore requires less removal of waste rock and therefore reduces mining costs. - Web Site

Geodynamics announces that the setting of the whipstock was not successful. At the commencement of lowering the whipstock in the well, the shear bolt on top of the whipstock sheared off due to drill pipe slippage. It is most likely that the whipstock is now located at the bottom of the well at the depth of 13,153ft (4,010m). We are currently investigating our options. It is likely that we can cement the whipstock in place and kick-off from that point to proceed with the side track. - Web Site

Stocks finished a quiet session little changed Monday as investors' anticipation of the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates muted their reaction to lower oil prices and a trio of acquisitions.
The market showed some excitement over Wachovia's $25 billion takeover of Golden West Financial Corp. and Thermo's $10.6 billion offer for Fisher Scientific International Inc. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. also made its first acquisition of an overseas company.
Gold prices touched a nearly 26-year peak in electronic trading that ended early Monday, but eased back as concerns about Iran's nuclear standoff with the West were eased by what seems like an attempt at compromise by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Additional Gold Intercepts at Samat & Bekou
DRILLING/SAMPLING UPDATE – SIMBERI GOLD PROJECT
Drilling Highlights Additional gold intercepts have been returned from drilling at the Samat and Bekou areas on Simberi Island, offshore Papua New Guinea including;
Samat Area
Bekou Area
Drilling programmes are ongoing, with recent activity focussing on sterilisation of the proposed rope conveyor terminus at Sorowar.
Oxide Exploration – Samat and Bekou Areas
During the course of drilling IP targets at Samat, RC1199 precollar intersected good oxide gold mineralization close to the edge of the proposed Samat North oxide pit.
At Bekou, to the immediate west of Samat South, forty-eight shallow RC holes were drilled (1,122 metres of drilling, average hole depth 23.4 metres) to further test known oxide (and underlying sulphide) gold mineralization. To date, assay results have been received for only eight of these holes. The occurrence and depth extent of oxide material, and both oxide and sulphide gold grades, suggest gold mineralisation is focussed along a structure followed by Botlu Creek...... - Web Site

ARC ENERGY ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION INTO THE CANNING BASIN
ARC Energy Limited (ASX:ARQ) today announced it had secured a significant regional exploration holding in the onshore Canning Basin in Australia’s northwest.
The acquisition is the result of a detailed review of the exploration potential of the area, several months of negotiation with the existing permit holders, and applications for areas with specific geological attractiveness. The Canning Basin is one of the last under-explored areas in onshore Australia and has geological similarities with highly productive regions in Oman and the United States.

ENTERS INTO CUIABA GOLD PROJECT JOINT VENTURE IN BRAZIL
Ashburton Minerals Ltd is pleased to announce that it has signed a Heads of Agreement with AIM-listed Minmet plc relating to the Cuiaba Gold Project in the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil.
The Cuiaba-Pocone district is an area of significant gold mineralisation that contains numerous private (garimpeiro) gold workings scattered over a 120 km strike. By virtue of the scale of these operations, Ashburton is of the opinion that the district holds potential to host a number of larger, company-scale gold deposits. Nevertheless, the area remains essentially unexplored by Australian standards. - Web Site

EXPLORATION DRILLING COMMENCES AT THE SVARTLIDEN DEPOSIT DEPOSIT, SWEDEN
Dragon Mining advises that diamond drilling has commenced at the Svartliden deposit to examine the strike and depth extensions of a series of high grade intercepts associated with the Northern Lode.
This initial program of 5 diamond drill holes for a total advance of 700 metres of diamond drilling will take approximately 60 days to complete, inclusive of analysis.
This represents the first of two drilling programs proposed to be undertaken during the northern spring-summer period within the immediate vicinity of the Svartliden open-pit. A second program of up to 1500 metres of reverse circulation drilling will commence shortly after this program is completed, subject to drill rig availability, targeting the near surface east and west strike extensions of known mineralisation. - Web Site

Wall Street rose strongly on Friday, sending the Dow Jones industrials up 138 points to a new six-year high after a report of modest job growth bolstered hopes that the Federal Reserve will end its interest rates hikes.
The latest snapshot, released by the Labor Department on Friday, painted a mixed picture of the country's employment climate and suggested the economy is heading for more moderate but still healthy growth, analysts said.
Employers boosted payrolls by just 138,000 in April. That was the smallest increase since October when businesses still reeling from the blows of the Gulf Coast hurricanes added only 37,000 jobs.
Workers' wages went up sharply in April. Average hourly earnings climbed to $16.61, a big 0.5 percent jump from March. Over the last 12 months, earnings rose 3.8 percent, the largest 12-month gain in nearly five years.
Gold futures climbed Friday to tally a gain of almost $30 an ounce for the week and close at their highest level in nearly 26 years as worry about the nuclear standoff with Iran and fresh weakness in the U.S. dollar combined to bolster metal demand.
Copper futures set a record price, closing 8.5% higher for the week on tight global copper supplies.

HARMONY POSITIONS FOR RISING GOLD PRICE
Johannesburg, 05 May 2006 - Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (NASDAQ/NYSE: HMY JSE: HAR) today announced its results for the March 2006 Quarter. As a result of the typical December break problems and a reduction in grades, gold production decreased by 14% to 17 464 kg, whilst working cost in R/Kg terms increased by 12% to R92 914. The gold price increased by 8% to R110 399, resulting in an operating profit for the quarter of R305.6 million (a decrease of R83.8million).
The company had a net loss for the quarter of R182 million compared with a net profit of R22 million for the December 2005 quarter. It should however be noted that the previous quarter's net profit included the R306 million profit on the disposal of the remaining investment in Gold Fields. A further negative impact on the results was an increased mark-to-market of the Australian hedge book. Cash earnings per share came to 78 cents from 99 cents in the previous quarter. The headline loss per share improved from 75 cents to 50 cents.
Mainly due to the acquisition of a 29% stake in Western Areas, Harmony's cash balance decreased from R2 914 million to R1 781 million. A R1 000 million loan raised from RMB partially financed the deal at a total cost of R2 012.2 million. - Web Site

Drilling Update Wei 6-12 South Well China
Wei 6-12 South Well, Beibu Gulf, Offshore China
Further to Horizon Oil’s routine drilling update of 3 May 2006, please be advised of a further update received today from the well operator, Roc Oil Company Limited:-
Quote
As at 0600 hours (local time) on 5 May 2006, the Wei-6-12-S-1 exploration well had drilled to a depth of 2,007 metres below rotary table ("MBRT") and the current operation was running in hole to drill ahead following a short wiper trip.
At 1,956 MBRT, a sand with an apparent drilled thickness of three to five metres was encountered with good reservoir characteristics, strong oil shows and an associated increase in wet gas readings. Pre-drill interpretation suggests that this sand is at the top of an interbedded sand-shale sequence that is expected to be several hundred metres thick.
At approximately 1,985 mBRT a sandy interval, with an apparent drilled thickness of about 16 metres, was encountered without any obvious oil shows but with very high wet gas readings.
Until the well has been drilled to the proposed Total Depth of 2,530 MBRT and a full suite of electric logs acquired and analysed, it is not possible to comment as to the commercial significance of the hydrocarbon shows encountered to date...... - Web Site

Tui Area Oil Project Update
As referenced in PPP’s March 2006 Quarterly Activities Report, the operator of the Tui Area Oil Project has been conducting a detailed review of the project. One result of the review is that the JV parties have agreed an optimisation plan which could increase proved and probable recoverable oil reserves, as a result of reconfiguring the development to position 2 wells into the Tui field (with a possible third well if this would support higher oil recoveries) and one production well into each of the Amokura and Pateke fields.
This new well configuration should access a further 1.1 million barrels of recoverable oil, to take total proven and probable field reserves to 27.9 million barrels.
Of itself, the revised development plan does not materially add to costs, which may still be contained within the current budget of US$203.7m (PPP 10% share, US$20.37m). While the operator considers a further contingency sum of US$21m would be prudent, and PPP recognises that, as with all projects of this nature, possible delays with drilling and adverse weather at time of installation of facilities, could increase final costs, PPP is also of the view that the development may be achieved within the present budget.
The revised development plan maintains the timetable for first oil production prior to the end of the June 2007 quarter.- Web Site

Rio Tinto reports on excellent year
Buoyant conditions in the mining sector in 2005, together with Rio Tinto's strategic positioning and strong operating performance, resulted in a second successive year of record profits, the chairman of Rio Tinto Paul Skinner told the annual meeting of shareholders in Melbourne today.
"We enjoyed strong prices for most of our products and an increase in production volumes. In 2005, underlying earnings of just under US$5 billion were 118 per cent above 2004. Cash flow was 85 per cent higher at US$8 billion and our regular dividend four per cent higher.
"Together with a 20 per cent increase in the regular dividend in 2004, this represents an increase of almost 25 per cent over the last two years. In addition, we declared a significant special dividend.
"Investment in the growth of the business continued, with capital expenditure a record US$2.5 billion. This is expected to increase to at least US$3 billion in each of 2006 and 2007.
"The current strength of the Group's cash flow means that, in addition to comfortably funding current and planned investments, capital can be returned to shareholders without reducing our flexibility to pursue other development opportunities which may arise. We remain in a very strong financial position."

Production Sales & Exploration Report April 2006
April 2006 New Record Month - exceeded previous record production in March
This report highlights the continuing strong 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 two to 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 four 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 monthly production rate on an annualised basis now exceeds 4.4 Petajoules (PJ) (with Sydney Gas’ share being 2.2 PJ) per year........- Web Site

LAKES OIL AND SINOPEC AGREEMENT
Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") advises that it has today signed a Memorandum of Understanding with China Petrochemical Corp East China Petroleum Bureau (a subsidiary of "Sinopec") of Beijing. Sinopec is the largest oil and gas company in China.
This agreement covers Lakes Oil's onshore Gippsland Basin acreage and agrees that the parties will start commercial negotiations as soon as technical due diligence is completed.
The basis of this agreement is that Sinopec and Lakes Oil will work towards commercialisation of Lakes Oil's onshore tight gas resource in the onshore Gippsland Basin and follows a Lakes Oil team visiting Beijing and a delegation from Sinopec currently visiting Victoria.
The agreement is non-binding on both parties and is aimed at co-operation between Sinopec and Lakes Oil to work towards a binding agreement which will allow development of the Lakes Oil's Gippsland permits to move forward.
Lakes Oil holds a number of exploration permits in the Gippsland area. Recent drilling of wells in the permits has encountered gas and/or oil.

Following the release to the ASX yesterday, 3 May 2006, KRC 018 (7821655N/501006E - 60o/339o) drilled on Section 7, returned a further 27m of high percentage sphalerite (zinc) sulphides and galena (lead) sulphides.
The mineralisation observed in the drill intersection from 6 - 124m was reported yesterday.
Down hole extension drilling conducted yesterday was logged as follows:
| 124 - 151 m |
27 metres of fresh, silicified, moderately foliated quartzite containing: |
| 127 - 133 m |
10 -20% sphalerite and galena sulphides |
| 133 - 146 m |
5 - 7% sphalerite and galena sulphides |
| 146 -149 m |
10 - 25% sphalerite and galena sulphides |
| 149 - 151 m |
40 - 50% sphalerite and galena sulphides |
The above elevated sulphide intersections from KRC 018 are coincident with a previously untested Induced Polarisation (IP) signature which extends for 1.5km to the north east (see attached plan).
Unfortunately KRC 018 was terminated in mineralisation at 151m as the drill bit failed. The down hole continuation to this mineralisation will be tested by twinning this hole with a diamond drill hole. The up dip and down dip extensions to the mineralisation on this section will be drill tested in the coming days.
Assay results will be announced to the market as soon as available.
The Company has previously drilled five wide spaced drill sections along a zinc, lead and silver soil geochemical anomaly, which is 2.4 km in length. Previous drilling has yielded average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 g/t silver, with significant credits for copper and vanadium. A scoping study conducted by ProMet Engineers, has estimated some 17,500,000 tonnes to 100m depth. An infill drilling programme is currently being conducted with the intention of upgrading this zone of mineralisation to an open pittable JORC compliant resource/ reserve down to a vertical depth of 150m.

The onshore drilling program in the Perth Basin is scheduled to commence in July and follows extensive pre-planning and negotiations to:
1. Secure a larger rig than the Century 11 rig that was released in February;
2. Review the results of the recent exploration program; and
3. Obtain necessary government and joint venture approvals....
Offshore
The planned offshore exploration drilling program has had to be amended to take account of the delay in the ROC-operated Ensco 67 jack-up rig becoming available from development drilling at Cliff Head. The development program is currently several weeks behind schedule, which means there will not be time to drill all of the four exploration wells as hoped.
Whilst the number of offshore exploration wells to be drilled is still dependent on the timing of the release of the rig from Cliff Head, ARC has recommended to ROC that the Moondah 1 well in TP/15 be the first exploration well drilled in the program. ARC has a 45% stake in Moondah 1 and the well has a potential size of 30mmbbls to 50mmbbls of recoverable oil if hydrocarbons are present.
Commenting on the changes to the planned program, Mr Streitberg said, “The reduction in the number of offshore exploration wells to be drilled in this program is disappointing, but we have made strong representations to ROC, as operator, that Moondah 1 is drilled first.”
Yemen:
As outlined in ARC’s March 2006 quarterly results, the Block 35 joint venture, in which ARC holds a 15% stake, is reviewing a drilling program of at least one, and up to three, exploration wells to commence in late CY2006. A decision on this will be made in June/July following completion of a current technical review.
After the Block 35 wells are drilled, Oil Search, as operator, is discussing drilling up to two wells on the newly acquired Block 3, and is planning seismic survey activities for blocks 7 and 74, subject to government approvals. Yemen is a very exciting area and has seen a number of recent large discoveries, particularly the “basement” play, that have been company-making discoveries for relatively small European and Canadian groups. ARC and Adelphi have substantial exposure to these plays......- Web Site

Stocks climbed Thursday as strong April retail sales and a steep drop in oil prices alleviated investors' worries about a greater-than-forecast jump in labor costs.
While the Labor Department said U.S. worker productivity rebounded in the first quarter, a sharp rise in wage costs raised concerns about inflation as the market continued speculating the potential for more interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.
Oil prices sank more than $2 a barrel for the second straight day on Thursday, falling below $70 as traders focused on U.S. government data that show gasoline supplies grew last week, reversing two months of declines.
Copper futures rallied more than 5% Thursday to close at a record level, taking their cue from a growing conviction in the metals pits that prices for the metal are justified by the current state of strong demand and tight supplies.
Gold futures also climbed Thursday to take its winning streak to five sessions as investors continued to use the precious metal as a hedge against potential financial losses.
BARRICK Gold, the world's largest gold producer, joined the ranks of the world's de-hedgers lopping 4.7 million oz from its forward contracts book in the last quarter. This provided further evidence that gold producers were more optimistic about the gold price than ever before, analysts said.

Positive Drilling Results at Widgie Townsite and O’Grady
Titan Resources Limited is pleased to announce the following results from its 100% owned Widgie Townsite and O’Grady nickel deposits, located near Widgiemooltha in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
Widgie Townsite
Over the past twelve months Titan has completed a number of drilling programs at Widgie Townsite primarily to confirm the grade and thickness of a near surface, higher grade zone within the main (NO2) mineralised lens, and the narrower NO1 lens immediately to the west. The JORC classified resource for Widgie Townsite currently stands at 2.08Mt @ 1.89% Ni, at a 1% Ni cut off.
Utilising this resource model, a preliminary economic scoping study based on underground mining of the upper 200 metres of the NO1 and NO2 lenses was completed, indicating a potentially viable project with a pre-tax cash value of $A14.8 million, based on a nickel price of $A17,000/t.
The recent program of two holes, completed in April 2006 was designed to test for down plunge depth extensions to the near surface zone of higher grade mineralisation within the NO2 lens. The results from this drilling have been highly encouraging with intersections in the NO2 lens of 1.25m @ 3.06% Ni and 4.6m @ 2.14% Ni in WDD127 and 14.35m @ 1.84% Ni in WDD128 (including 3.9m @ 2.28% Ni and 2.9m @ 2.22% Ni).
The results from this drilling extend the higher grade zone within the NO2 lens down plunge towards a second, deeper higher grade zone in the NO2 lens defined from previous drilling.
O’Grady
In March 2006 Titan announced results from a single hole that targeted a down hole electromagnetic (EM) anomaly on the basal ultramafic-mafic contact below previous drilling. This drill hole (WDD069) intersected 0.6 metres of massive sulphide on the basal contact, and returned an intercept of 1.76m @ 4.27% Ni (including 0.58m @ 9.83% Ni). Subsequent down hole EM surveying indicated a conductive anomaly of significant size surrounding and to the north of the hole.
A follow-up RC precollared diamond hole (WDD126) was drilled 60 metres north of WDD069 to further test the EM anomaly, and has returned a positive result of 3m @ 1.70% Ni from 287 metres down hole (Figure 3). Down hole EM surveying of this hole continues to confirm the presence of a conductive body adjacent to and north of holes WDD069 and 126. Further drilling of the EM target is planned.- Web Site

Stocks closed modestly lower Wednesday as the latest batch of upbeat economic data made investors uneasy about more interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
Gold futures notched a fourth winning session on Wednesday to close at their highest level in almost 26 years, but prices gained just over $1 an ounce -- their smallest one-day gain since mid-March.
Uptake of Barclays' silver exchange traded fund is exceeding expectations and will likely reach and possibly exceed 100 million troy ounces within the first month, UBS said.

Update on Incident at Beaconsfield Mine
"Todd and Brant are still in reasonable health and good spirits under these very trying circumstances. They are able to crawl out through the entry gate in the side of the cage to get out into a small gap between the cage and the rock wall.
They are unable to stand up in that area and for safety reasons only get out of the cage for inspections of the area around it. They have not used a hack-saw to cut the metal mesh of the cage, contrary to some reports circulating today.
We have a 90mm pipe near to the cage and have been able to supply food, drink, dry clothes, a cover to stop any water leaking into the cage and reading material. We have also provided torches and spare batteries.
The Raise Borer which we had brought in from the West Coast of Tasmania yesterday is now in place and we expect drilling tomorrow. We chose the Raise Borer because it grinds away the rock to create a 1 metre wide tunnel which is big enough for the two men to get out and we think it can operate safely in the current situation.
We are going as fast as we can, but safety is paramount. They are hydrated, well fed and receiving medical advice and are in good spirits. We will not rush to jeopardize this. Our first strategy is still to drill through the new tunnel which has about 12 metres to go. At the same time, we are working on other possible strategies.
The Beaconsfield Mine Rescue Team and teams from Tasmanian mines have been joined overnight by a group from the NSW Mines Rescue. We are continuing to keep the families, the State Government, the West Tamar Mayor, Police and unions advised of any updates. We would like also to thank the unions and Bill Shorten, and all those other groups who are working with us in helping to keep the broader community informed.
We continue to stress that the conditions are very difficult and very dangerous, and that people should not underestimate the difficulties in getting them out safely." Matthew Gill, Mine Manager.- Web Site

Intersection of Sulphides - Kihabe Base Metals Project, Botswana
Mount Burgess Mining N.L. 100%
The 100m spaced Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling programme which is designed to outline the overall geometry and grades of mineralisation to -150metres is continuing. Drill logs have now been received for the remainder of KRC 017 (logs from 6 - 133m announced to ASX 27th April 2006) drilled on Section 6, located 100m north east of Section 1 and for KRC 018 drilled on Section 7, located 200m north east of Section 1 (refer to diagram attached).
KRC 017 at 7821566N/500940E -60deg/339deg was drilled to test for mineralisation below KRC 016 to a vertical depth of 150m and intersected anticipated sulphidic zones as follows:
| 6 - 108 m |
Hangingwall dolomite |
| 107 - 108 m |
Veinform sulphides in dolomite breccia contact |
| 108 - 113 m |
Quartzite with up to 20% hematitic boxwork after sulphides |
| 113 - 133 m |
Quartzite with 5% disseminated and veiniform pyrite, galena and sphalerite. |
| 133 - 197 m |
Quartzite with trace sulphides, up to 5% sulphides between 174 -177m. |
| 197 - 202 m |
Quartzite with 5 - 20% sulphides including galena and sphalerite. |
| 202 - 204 m eoh |
Quartzite |
KRC 018 at 7821655N/501006E -60deg/339deg was drilled to test for mineralisation to a vertical depth of 100m and intersected anticipated sulphidic zones as follows:
| 6 - 36 m |
Hangingwall dolomite |
| 36 - 56 m |
Weathered quartzite including zones of boxwork after sulphides |
| 56 - 64 m |
Moderately weathered quartzite with 3-20% sulphides including galena and sphalerite. |
| 64 - 87 m |
Quartzite with trace sulphides |
| 87 - 124 m |
Quartzite with sulphides ranging from 1 - 15% including galena and sphalerite. |
Consistent with previous drilling the sulphides were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hangingwall.
Assay results from KRC 016, KRC 017 and KRC 018 will be announced to the market as soon as they are available.
The Company has previously drilled five wide spaced drill sections along a zinc, lead and silver soil geochemical anomaly, which is 2.4 km in length. Previous drilling has yielded average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 g/t silver, with significant credits for copper and vanadium. A scoping study conducted by ProMet Engineers, has estimated some 17,500,000 tonnes to 100m depth. An infill drilling programme is currently being conducted with the intention of upgrading this zone of mineralisation to an open pittable JORC compliant resource/ reserve down to a vertical depth of 150m.

NEW GUINEA GOLD: PROGRESS UPDATE
Vancouver BC, May 2 2006. 2005 was a year of substantial progress for your Company which is widely regarded as the premier junior mineral explorer in Papua New Guinea, We have interests in 10 gold properties and 2 porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold properties. In excess of 60,000 metres of current and historical drilling has been completed on all properties and this drilling has located extensive mineralisation at 11 of the 12 projects. An additional project contains widespread and extensive alluvial gold.
Three gold properties, Sinivit, Normanby, and Mt Penck, are currently regarded as key prospects. Mine development is underway at Sinivit and on the latter two projects we are focusing on defining NI 43-101 compliant resources by year end 2006. The remaining gold properties are all well advanced in terms of exploration and the Company plans to add several more projects to key project status in 2007. The two porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold systems are large areas of mineralisation, each in excess of 8 square kilometers in area as defined by surface geochemistry, trenching and drilling. The Company is presently in discussions with possible partners regarding financing the definition of resources at each of these properties.
The key near term priority is the start-up of mining at the Sinivit gold project. The Sinivit Project is fully permitted (mining lease and environmental permits in place) and mine development has commenced. As a result of continuing severe weather, construction is now expected to be complete early in the third quarter, with gold production soon thereafter. Operating cash cost per ounce of gold produced is estimated at US$120.
Two other projects, Feni and Crater Mountain, are at present being sole funded by Vangold Resources and Celtic/Triple Plate Junction respectively.
The business strategy is as follows:

Extensions to Dikoloti Prospect
Latest results from the Dikoloti North prospect on the NE Botswana Nickel Project.
A ground electromagnetic (“EM”) survey has indicated a probable 700m strike extension to the previously intersected nickel mineralisation at Dikoloti North (grading up to 0.91%Ni). The EM conductor located at Dikoloti North is due to nickel mineralisation and is the highest quality EM conductor located to date along the 14km long trend of nickel sulphide mineralisation extending from the Lentswe prospect in the south to Dikoloti North. The Dikoloti North prospect is the direct northern extension of the Dikoloti Inferred Nickel Resource where Discovery Nickel Limited has defined 4.1Mt @ 0.7%Ni, 0.5%Cu and 1.2 g/t platinum group elements. Three drill targets are currently being defined.- Web Site

Drilling Update Wei 6-12 South Well China
Wei 6-12 South Well, Beibu Gulf, Offshore China
Drilling continues on the Wei 6-12 South exploration well on Block 22/12, in which Horizon Oil has a 30% interest. The well is located in about 30 m of water about 3 km southwest of the 2002 oil discovery, Wei 6-12-1.
At 0600 hrs on 3 May 2006 the well was drilling ahead in 8.5 inch hole above the first target reservoir at a depth of 1,678 m, having successfully set and cemented 9.625 inch casing.
The well is expected to take a further 10 days to drill to a total depth of 2,530 m. The Wei 6-12 South prospect has mean unrisked potential of 19 mmbo and is one of a cluster of prospects surrounding the Wei 6-12-1 oil discovery well, with combined potential of 40 – 50 mmbo. These prospects are well supported by seismic attribute anomalies, which have been calibrated on the nearby Wei 12-1 producing field. - Web Site

Coal & Allied AGM - Chairman's address
Coal & Allied Industries (Rio Tinto 75.7 per cent) issued the following address by the chairman, Chris Renwick, following the annual meeting of shareholders in Australia today. Dollar amounts are in Australian currency.
2005 was a good year for Coal & Allied, characterised by very strong demand for coal and a continuation of the improved financial performance we reported in the last half of 2004.
The high price achieved for export coal sales has dominated our business in 2005.
The gains were somewhat offset by the relatively high operating cost of Coal & Allied's mines, a burden shared by most Hunter Valley operators. Much of this cost pressure is due to unprecedented competition for many of the necessary business inputs.
In 2005 our production was aligned to available port and rail capacity. A capacity balancing system remains in place to manage vessel queues at Port Waratah. - Web Site

Update on Incident at Beaconsfield Mine
"The rescue has reached a very delicate stage and we are seeking and getting extensive expert advice on how to proceed safely.
We continue to have permanent contact with Todd and Brant.
Food and fresh water has been passed through to them to keep them going. Word coming back is that they both remain in good spirits under the circumstances. Brant and Todd have now been underground for about 120 hours. We must stress that the conditions are very difficult and very dangerous, and that people should not underestimate the difficulties in getting them out safely.
Consideration is continuing on non-blasting means to drive a tunnel to get them out. The work would have to proceed very carefully to try to avoid any further rock falls.
We are getting the best available engineering, emergency services and medical advice. The operation continues around the clock with Todd and Brant's workmates working tirelessly on the task.
We have available a range of specialist equipment brought in from around the State and some from interstate.
It remains extremely difficult to give an accurate time frame for getting Todd and Brant to the surface. On current information it will be at least 48 hours from now. We cannot afford to rush this rescue, and we won't. We are just as frustrated as anyone else at the time it is taking to bring them up. We are doing our very best bearing in mind the need to act safely. Matthew Gill, Mine Manager. - Web Site

Wall Street's interest rate anxiety sent stocks moderately lower Monday after comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke compounded investors' inflation concerns amid a surge in oil prices. Last Thursday, Bernanke told a congressional panel the central bank could pause -- but not necessarily stop -- its string of rate hikes while it keeps a close watch on the economy's health.
Gold prices closed above $660 an ounce Monday to mark the highest front-month futures level in more than 25 years, as steep declines in the U.S. dollar and concern about Iran's nuclear-research program fueled safe-haven buying and fed a broad-based metals rally.

QUARTERLY REPORT
During the quarter, United Kimberley Diamonds NL (UKD) continued to progress its bauxite exploration and has now secured 28 exploration license applications covering 6,830 km2 in the North Kimberley Bauxite Province. Company geologists also undertook a helicopter sampling survey which showed the existence of high grade bauxite within the Company’s 100% owned leases (fig 1). ABN: 65 107 061 343 ABN: 65 107 061 343
This sampling program was undertaken following a remote sensing survey which identified potential bauxite mineralisation over extensive areas (ASX release dated 27 March 2006). The Company believes there is now ample evidence to support the implementation of a stage 1 drilling program on the most prospective areas. Wider project studies are underway.
At the Company’s diamond projects, preparation for the forthcoming field season has been ongoing and a geological field crew will be on the ground at the Ellendale South Project by mid April. A ground gravity survey has been commissioned for the Moonlight Valley prospect at Phillips Range, work will begin as soon as the high water levels in the area allow access. - Web Site

First Quarter Activities Report
Construction at the Cibaliung Gold Project marks an important milestone for Austindo with gold production scheduled to begin in the 1st Quarter of 2007.
Cibaliung Gold Project - Indonesia
Project Generation - Indonesia
The Trenggalek exploration area in East Java, Indonesia was granted in which Austindo has a 95% joint venture interest.
The Anglo American Group plans to initiate a 4000m drilling program at the Aisasjur Project in Papua in June 2006.
Expenditure
Exploration and pre-development expenditure in Indonesia during the quarter totalled A$8,186,000.
Additional Funding
After the quarter the Company announced that it had successfully undertaken a placement of 218 million shares at 5.5 cents per share to raise A$12 million.
The funds will be used for a significantly increased exploration program in Indonesia, working capital purposes and to fund modest cost overruns associated with the development of the Cibaliung Gold Project.
Increased exploration will commence immediately on all three of the Company's permit areas on Java. Exploration at Cibaliung will be focussed on the discovery of additional resources. The Pekalongan (Central Java) and Trenggalek (East Java) Projects, in which Austindo has a 95% joint venture interest, both have multiple prospects which are currently being assessed ready for selection of drilling priorities.
On 26 April 2006 the Company announced the appointment of Mr Brad Wake as Exploration Manager in charge of the Company's exploration programs in Indonesia.

Update on Incident at Beaconsfield Mine
“We have established contact with Todd Russell and Brent Webb. First contact was at about 5.45pm (AEST) yesterday afternoon. They appear to be in good spirits despite their ordeal.
Both have spoken to rescuers through a microphone extended into the area. We believe they are in reasonably good health given the length of time they have been trapped in the mine.
After we found that they were alive, our first priorities were to establish communications and assess their conditions and needs. We are currently examining all the options to get them out as quickly as we possibly can. These options include continuing to push through a smaller probe hole in the new tunnel to the area where they are located.
We are also looking at a number of mechanical and other means to allow us to gain access.
Conditions in the area are very dangerous and rescuers must proceed with extreme care. People should not underestimate the difficulties involved in getting them out safely. Safely accessing the trapped miners is paramount and this will take some time, so I would like to urge people to be patient.
Miners from Beaconsfield are working alongside volunteers from other mines and State Emergency Services staff. We will provide more information as it comes to hand.” Matthew Gill, Mine Manager. - Web Site

RECENT DRILLING RESULTS FROM FLYING FOX T1 NORTH and T4 DEPOSITS AND FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR DIGGERS SOUTH DEPOSIT
FLYING FOX – RECENT DRILLING RESULTS
The Board of Western Areas NL is pleased to announce further very encouraging drilling results from the T1 North and T4 nickel sulphide zones at the Flying Fox nickel mine. Subject to additional drilling in these areas, the recent results provide further encouragement that:
1. Early production may be achieved from the T1 North deposit during the second half of 2006, several months before production from T1.
2. T1 North may extend south of the dolerite dyke into an area untested to date. An underground drilling program will be undertaken as a high priority to test this potential.
3. The Company considers a high grade Mineral Resource is likely to be estimated for the T4 massive sulphide zone, between the T1 and T5 ore bodies.
DIGGERS SOUTH – FEASIBILITY STUDY
As Western Areas nears production from Flying Fox and as a result of the recent substantial increase in the nickel price, the Company is reviewing other substantial nickel resources at Forrestania which could benefit from the construction of the Cosmic Boy treatment plant.
A technical team is reviewing commencement of a full feasibility study to evaluate mining the large Diggers South deposit. Diggers South, located 35km south of Flying Fox, contains 30,500 tonnes of contained nickel with the majority in the high confidence Indicated Mineral Resource category....- Web Site

Annual Report - CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Dear Shareholder It is with pleasure that I present to you the Annual Report of Wedgetail Exploration NL for the year ending 31 December 2005. The past twelve months have been a time of intense activity for the Company.
Substantial progress was achieved during 2005. A detailed presentation of the specific activities and achievements of the Company are included in the Review of Operations section which follows.
Feasibility
The Board was pleased to announce the successful completion of the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) on the Nullagine Gold Project on 3 April 2006. The positive factors demonstrated by the BFS results include clear indications that the Project is technically and financially robust, and is expected to deliver a net operating cash flow before debt of between $81 M and $105 M depending on the hedged gold price used.
Successful completion of the BFS marks an important milestone in the development of Wedgetail’s strategy of finding and developing quality gold reserves in the southern Pilbara region of Western Australia. Wedgetail has commenced negotiations with a number of banks to obtain the required funding to commence construction of the processing facility and associated infrastructure. At this stage, it is anticipated that the Company will be able to debt fund the majority of the capital required to construct the various project facilities.
Importantly, the Company will continue to aggressively explore its extensive landholdings in the Nullagine area to exploit the exploration potential of the region, whilst continuing to assess the heap leach potential of low grade material.
Exploration
Exploration continued to be of significant focus during the year with almost 94,000 metres of drilling undertaken over the project area. The understanding of the structural controls of the gold mineralisation across the project has advanced significantly over the past two years, resulting in a number of exciting discoveries, which originated as geological concepts, but were quickly advanced by strategic surface sampling and drilling.
It is anticipated that this understanding of the structural controls will continue to provide exciting exploration targets and opportunities to increase Wedgetail’s mineral resource inventory........- Web Site

SYDNEY GAS CORRECTS SPECULATION REGARDING SYDNEY GAS’ RECAPITALISATION PLAN
Speculative claims by Queensland Gas Company Limited (“QGC”) made recently in statements to the ASX and reported in certain media, incorrectly imply that the Recapitalisation Plan proposed by the Board of Sydney Gas Limited (“Sydney Gas”) is “a package to facilitate a change of control without a control premium being paid to investors”.
Since it was announced in early April, Sydney Gas has received positive feedback on the Recapitalisation Plan from many shareholders.
However, to avoid any speculation of confusion about the potential outcomes from the Recapitalisation Plan, Sydney Gas has decided to take the unusual step of releasing additional details regarding the Recapitalisation Plan to show there is no facilitation of a change in control, nor any improper voting planned and so there are no deficiencies in the documents describing the Recapitalisation Plan.... - Web Site

Third Quarter Report
OVERVIEW:
Union Resources Limited (“Union”) is focused on the Mehdiabad Base Metal Project (“The Project”) located in Central Iran. This project comprises one of the largest undeveloped zinc deposits in the world.
A Feasibility Study (“FS”) prepared by Aker Kvaerner Australia (AKAU), has been completed and is expected to be issued in early May. The study demonstrates the viability of a long life mining and processing operation at Mehdiabad.
The FS provides a comprehensive summary of the geology, resource, mining, geotechnical, metallurgical and pilot plant studies completed to date. It also includes preliminary process plant design and engineering, infrastructure and environmental studies. The FS provides the basis of planning the next phase of the project.
In addition, a new resource estimate has been completed by Hellman and Schofield and an interim mining reserve estimate has been prepared by Australian Mining Design and Development Company.
An economic study prepared by CPK Consulting based on the results of the FS report has concluded that the optimum plant capacity is 300,000 tonnes per annum (“TPA”) of zinc metal to be produced at the site, with up to a further 100,000 TPA of metal to be produced in concentrates for sale to others. The maximum zinc production would be therefore 400,000 TPA. Instead of building this plant in stages as previously proposed, the report recommends building the full plant upfront. The proposed plant would also produce an additional 97,000 TPA of lead in concentrate and 4 million ozs of silver per annum.
The initial mine life is 20 years, and subject to further geotechnical studies, may be as high as 40 years......... - Web Site
