Stocks ended a turbulent second quarter with a moderate decline Friday as money managers, doing some last-minute adjustments, locked in gains from Thursday's big rally.
The Dow ended the quarter up 40.90 points, or 0.37 percent; the S&P lost 24.63 points, or 1.90 percent; and the Nasdaq lost 167.70 points or 7.17 percent.
Consumer spending slowed sharply in May as rising gasoline prices left Americans with less cash for other items, the government reported Friday.
The Commerce Department said that spending rose by just 0.4 percent last month after a 0.7 percent gain in April. Income growth also slowed to an advance of just 0.4 percent last month, reflecting weaker job growth.
Oil prices extended gains Thursday after the U.S. government reported that supplies of oil and gasoline shrank last week -- just as the summer driving season gets into full swing.
Natural Gas Futures Dropped Lower After EIA Storage Report.
Gold and metals rose sharply on Friday amid a dollar sell-off after the Federal Reserve gave a benign outlook about future hikes in interest rates on Thursday.
Copper prices rose for a third straight day on Friday to hit a three-week high as worries about slowing economic growth receded and investors focused on strong fundamentals.

Update Dua-4X exploration well, Vietnam
Santos today announced an oil and gas discovery at the Dua-4X exploration well currently being drilled in exploration Block 12E, offshore Vietnam.
Dua-4X was drilled down-flank from the 1974 Dua-1X discovery well that flowed 1,500 barrels of oil per day. Following the intersection of hydrocarbons in the Dua 4X vertical well, a sidetrack has been drilled (Dua-4X ST1) to provide further geological information.
Wireline testing of both Dua-4X and Dua-4X ST1 recovered oil samples, core and pressure data to help define the quantity and quality of hydrocarbons within the northern flank of the Dua structure. As planned no drill stem test was performed.
A second geological sidetrack, Dua-4X ST2, will now be drilled to evaluate potential gas and oil reservoirs in the southern fault block of the Dua structure........ - Web Site
Clarification re Banjar Panji 1 Well incident
Further to our release dated 27 June 2006, Santos wishes to provide the following clarification regarding the well control incident at the Banjar Panji-1 onshore exploration well located in the Brantas PSC near Surabaya on the Indonesian island of Java, in which a Santos company has a non-operated 18% interest.
Recent media articles include speculation as to the cause of the well control incident and seek to quantify the damage caused.
Santos wishes to clarify for the market that investigations into the cause of the incident by the Operator of the PSC, Lapindo Brantas Inc, and the Government of Indonesia's oil and gas regulator, BPMigas, are ongoing. At this time, there have been no final conclusions arising from these investigations.
In addition, as the mud and water flows continue, clean up operations are unable to commence in earnest. Accordingly, an accurate quantification of damage is not possible at this stage and any speculation is premature.
Further announcements will be made as information becomes available.
The PSC is operated by Lapindo Brantas, which holds a 50% interest; PT Medco E&P Brantas has a 32% interest and Santos (Brantas) Pty Ltd has an 18% interest. - Web Site

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to 5.25% - the highest point in more than five years - Thursday but also raised hopes that a respite from two years of rate pain may be in sight. Wall Street rallied, breathing a sigh of relief.
The Dow Jones industrial average soared 217.24 points to 11,190.80, its biggest single-day jump in more than three years.
Chairman Ben Bernanke and other Fed policymakers didn't rule out another bump in rates. But they seemed hopeful that a slowing economy would lessen pressure on prices, leaving open the question of whether more increases would be needed to declare victory in their battle against inflation.
Oil prices rose by more than $1 a barrel on Thursday, climbing on the back of a rally in gasoline futures, which settled at a nine-month high. The approach of the Independence Day holiday, traditionally a busy period for U.S. drivers, was a major factor behind the market's psychology, as was a shipping snag along the U.S. Gulf Coast, brokers said.
Chart-based buying and ideas that the Federal Reserve will not be "overly hawkish" on interest rates Thursday afternoon sent copper futures higher in New York.
Gold futures climbed back above $600 an ounce in electronic trade Thursday, after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a quarter percentage point as expected and came across as less hawkish than anticipated, sending the dollar sharply lower.

Habanero 2 - Well Suspension
Geodynamics announces that the drill stem has been successfully parted near the bottom of the casing using a severing tool at a depth of 3,765m (12,350ft) or 436m (1,430ft) above the stuck drill bit. This is considerably higher than aimed for, a direct consequence of restriction in the drill stem which prevented the setting of the explosive charge at a greater depth.
On the basis of the slow and costly progress made to date and taking into account the remaining risks involved in completing the side track with the current on site equipment, it was reluctantly decided to stop the drilling operations. Geodynamics has further decided to restore the connection with the heat exchanger using a conventional drilling rig. Geodynamics has recently obtained an option on a suitable rig which will become available in the last quarter of this calendar year. One option open to the Company is to drill another side track from near the bottom of the casing in Habanero #2, starting drilling at a depth of approximately 3,750m (12,300ft). A similar side track (Habanero #2, side track 1) was previously drilled in 23 days. Once the new hole approaches the depth of the underground heat exchanger, specialised equipment (snub assist unit) will be used to avoid damaging the underground heat exchanger with drilling mud.
The decision to stop the current snub drilling operations is a major set-back for all stakeholders involved as it will delay the proof of economic heat extraction from the extensive geothermal resources underlying the Cooper Basin. However, it should only be regarded as a delay and not as a threat to the viability of the geothermal project. All drilling engineering experts consulted by the Company to date agree that the drilling problems encountered will be overcome and that experience has shown that drilling costs can be significantly reduced over time. - Web Site

FURTHER WORK PLANNED AT SILVER SWAN NORTH JOINT VENTURE
The Silver Swan North Joint Venture is situated approximately 45 kilometres northnortheast of Kalgoorlie Western Australia and immediately adjacent to the Silver Swan nickel mine operated by LionOre Mining.
The Joint Venture between Mithril Resources, BHP Billiton and FerrAus 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.
In May this year five angled RC Percussion drillholes for 1293m were completed over the project area. Two of these holes (SNRC-001, 008) targeted east dipping conductive bodies identified from the recently completed ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys on ultramafic contacts and hole SNRC-003 targeted a conductive body internal to the ultramafic pile. Two drill holes (SNRC-004, 006) targeted contacts to the ultramafic sequence.
Drill hole SNRC-001 intersected 24m of semi-massive and massive sulphides from 252m at the bottom of the hole near the mafic / ultramafic contact. Due to the drill rig capability this hole stopped in these sulphides and the ultramafic contact was not intersected. Analytical results indicate these sulphides are sedimentary in origin with no Ni values greater than 100 parts per million (ppm). Drill hole SNRC-003 intersected a 2 pyritic shale internal to the ultramafic pile and drill hole SNRC-008 intersected a five metre thick zone from 255m of 10-40% sulphides adjacent to the eastern ultramafic contact. Nickel values are elevated in this interval (up to 1000ppm).
As part of the Joint Venture, BHP Billiton has agreed to fund further EM surveys in the project area. This includes downhole EM on SNRC-001, 004, 006 and 008 as well as fixed loop EM over moving loop EM anomalies detected and not drill tested in the last drilling campaign. In addition BHP Billiton will fund approximately 10 line km of moving loop EM over a magnetic anomaly directly north of the Silver Swan Deposit.
Mithril and BHP Billiton continue to view the area as highly prospective for nickel sulphides.

WHITE EAGLE, KANSAS – POLYMER TREATMENT UPDATE
The Directors of Amadeus Energy Limited wish to announce the results of the polymer treatments carried out to date on the White Eagle project, Kansas USA.
The treatments commenced on 22 April 2006 and to date, six wells have been treated. In all cases the results have been successful, resulting in increased oil and lower water production, which substantially reduces operating costs for the field.
Prior to commencement of the treatment of these wells, combined production was 16 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and 2,750 barrels of water per day (bwpd). Post treatment oil production increased to just below 200 bopd and water production reduced to 600 bwpd. Oil production has since stabilised to approximately 150 bopd.
It is planned to continue the polymer treatment programme and complete a total of 30 wells back-toback. Each well costs approximately $US70,000 (100%) to complete and the average pay-back for the six wells is 45 days.
Amadeus acquired the White Eagle project in October 2005 with a working interest (WI) of 85%. The field is spread across 113 petroleum leases containing 300 producing wells located across 16 counties, covering 18,240 acres.
The operator, TNT Engineering Inc plans to drill up to 30 development wells during the next 12 months across Amadeus’ current USA producing properties. (Average WI: 75% – 85%) - Web Site

MINCOR INTERSECTS NEW NICKEL ZONE ABOVE SOUTH MIITEL
Latest Drill Hole Also Expected to Expand Existing Resource for South Miitel Ore Body
Kambalda nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (MCR: ASX) has achieved further exploration success adjacent to its recent South Miitel nickel discovery, with the latest diamond drill hole intersecting both a new zone of massive sulphide mineralisation above the main South Miitel (N18) ore body and an unexpectedly wide intersection in the N18 ore body itself.
The upper intersection of 1.57 metres at 4.94% nickel highlights the potential for a new body of massive sulphide mineralisation up-dip and to the north of South Miitel, while the lower intersection of 6.92 metres @ 2.65% nickel is likely to increase the mineral resource at South Miitel, which currently stands at 258,000 tonnes @ 3.98% nickel (December 2005).
Mincor announced the South Miitel discovery, located immediately south of its flagship Miitel Nickel Mine, in September 2005, and the area has since been a key focus for its ongoing exploration and reserve development program at Kambalda.
The new drill hole, SMD006, was positioned to target the sparsely-drilled northern end of the South Miitel ore body, with the aim of building confidence in the current geological interpretation and enabling this section to be upgraded from the Inferred Resource category to the Indicated Resource category.
The drill hole intersected a previously-unknown zone of massive sulphide mineralisation above the South Miitel ore body:

NATIONAL OIL & GAS SEARCH BOOSTED BY NEW $100 MILLION BEACH PETROLEUM PROGRAM
The search for new Australian oil and gas reserves has been boosted by today's announcement of a significantly expanded $100 million-plus exploration and appraisal program to be undertaken by Beach Petroleum Limited in the upcoming financial year.
The new program will see the Top 10 petroleum producer drill 69 exploration and appraisal wells in 2006-2007 - up from 19 in the current year.
Beach said the heightened drilling program is designed to increase annual production to above 5 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in 2007-2008. This compares to an output of 1.4 million barrels of oil this year.
Drill targets include an offshore Australian oil prospect, the Company's first offshore target in New Zealand and a Surat Basin well in Queensland - as well as current operations in the onshore Cooper-Eromanga basins and the offshore Gippsland Basin.
The aggressive exploration push does not include Beach Petroleum's current participation in a 75-well program in the Tipton West coal seam gas project in Queensland.
Beach's 2006-2007 drilling schedule, announced today, includes:

Stocks advanced Wednesday in light trading as Wall Street recovered from the previous session's selloff and awaited Thursday's expected interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve. The Fed is expected to announce at least a quarter-point rate hike, which would bring short-term interest rates to 5.25 percent, but a few economists expect a bolder half-point increase.
Volume has been declining over the last week and a half as traders waited for the Fed's next move.
Copper bounced 2.4 percent on thin buying on Wednesday, but investors were cautious ahead of a U.S. Federal Reserve meeting on interest rates, dealers said.
Gold prices fell for the third straight day in New York as the dollar climbed against the euro.

Project Update
Utopia Project (EL's 28/1412, 1294, 1295) Drilling Commences.
Comet is pleased to announce the commencement of a 5,000 metre RAB drilling program at its Utopia project in Western Australia.
Drilling will test several soil gold anomalies which are associated with historic wide space RAB drill gold anomalies and a radiometric anomaly.
Comet hopes to finish the 5,000 metre RAB drilling program in early July and expects results by mid August.
Environmental Oil Solutions Project
Progress has been made in the laboratory test work. The bacterial formulation (BIO-Paragone) has been optimised and scale up has commenced. This will involve simulated tank cleaning in 20 litre vessels, then 100 litre vessels before moving to a field location where waste oil will be treated in an 8,000 litre tank. The objective is to demonstrate BIO-Paragones ability to break down the viscous waste oils, enabling the transformed waste oil to be pumped from the vessel and recycled.
Browns Reef Base Metal Project (NSW)
This project has the potential to host a very large zinc, lead, copper, silver and possibly gold deposit. The areas main phase of exploration was in the 1970’s and early 1980s, where non JORC resources of 15-20million tonnes at 2.5% Zinc equivalent were calculated. Drilled widths up to 60m were intersected. Within the broad mineralised zone are higher grades eg. BR2 with 20m at 4.95% Zinc, 2.77% Lead, 0.16% Copper and 13.5 g/t silver from 302m down hole.
Shallower levels have not been tested. Comet is planning to commence a Reverse Circulation and diamond drilling programme in August to test selected zones within the delineated 10 kilometres of mineralised strike length for :-
Over the past 6 months Comet has made significant progress on its 100% owned projects and is now in a position to implement programmes to advance these projects- Web Site

ROC to Buy Apaches China Assets
ROC has agreed to acquire a 24.5% operated interest in the Zhao Dong Block in the Bohai Bay, offshore China, for a cash consideration of US$260 million/A$354 million. The acquisition is via the purchase of 100% of the shares of Apache China Corporation LDC a wholly owned subsidiary of the US$20 billion/A$27 billion Apache Corporation, headquartered in Houston.
The Block is part of a prolific producing petroleum province which offers considerable upside potential. Gross production from the two producing fields in the Block is in the order of 30,000 barrels of oil per day (net ACC working interest: 7,300 BOPD) and gross proved and probable remaining reserves are approximately 61 MMBO (net ACC working interest: 15 MMBO). - Web Site

Copper Intersections at Thaduna
Sipa is pleased to announce results from a recent reconnaissance Rotary Air Blast and Aircore drilling programme at our 100% owned Thaduna Copper Project located about 100 km north of Meekatharra in the Murchison Region of Western Australia.
The highlight of the results were from two 60º angled holes drilled on the same section which returned the following intersections:
The holes were drilled near an old shaft reportedly about 20 metres deep that was probably dug in the 1940’s on an east west trending mineralised fault structure traceable through old prospecting pits and costeans in an area of very poor outcrop for about 750 metres. - Web Site

A series of multi-billion dollar acquisitions gave Wall Street a modest advance Monday although many investors remained cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates later in the week.
Investors were cheered by news from mining company Phelps Dodge Corp. that it will pay $40 billion in cash and stock for rivals Inco Ltd. and Falconbridge Ltd., while steelmaker Arcelor SA agreed to a $33 billion bid from Mittal Steel Co.
The Commerce Department reported Monday that sales of new single-family homes increased by 4.6 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.234 million units. Wall Street had been expecting a 4 percent drop in sales.
Oil priced moved higher on concerns about a shipping glitch in the Gulf of Mexico.
Gold futures closed slightly lower Monday, finding little support in a weaker dollar as investors kept to the sidelines ahead of a widely expected interest-rate increase at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting this week.
Other metals prices finished mixed. Platinum added $14.40 at $1,181.30 an ounce and palladium rose $10.75 at $320.55 an ounce. Silver finished down 4.5 cents at $10.24 an ounce and copper added 8.4 cents at $3.324 a pound.- Web Site

First pass drilling at Shashoba in Wadi Allaqi returns significant gold intersections
The preliminary drilling results from Shashoba are most encouraging particularly as they are of a first pass reconnaissance nature. Additional drilling is planned to test a number of high priority targets identified as a result of the recent drilling programme. While the evaluation of Shashoba is at an early stage, the area clearly has considerable potential as we are looking at a gold mineralised zone having a strike length of 2.2km which is open at each end.
Shashoba is located and 6km to the south-east of Seiga where the Company has delineated significant gold mineralisation over a strike length of 800m (see announcement dated 19 June 2006). - Web Site

HIGH-GRADE MINERALISATION CONFIRMED AT GASCOYNE TUNGSTEN PROJECT
First Field Campaign Returns Spectacular Tungsten Results in Rock Chip Samples
Nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (MCR: ASX) today announced encouraging results from the first exploration program carried out under its recently announced Growth and Expansion Strategy. The Company reported that initial field work at its 100%-owned Gascoyne Tungsten Project in Western Australia had confirmed the presence of high grade tungsten mineralisation in outcropping skarn units.
Mincor said the assay results, including spectacular values up to 6.66% WO3 over 3 metres, provided strong confirmation of the tenor of scheelite mineralisation encountered by previous explorers in the late 1970’s.
Mincor confined its first field campaign to an initial assessment of the Nardoo Well prospect (EL09/1205), only one of numerous areas of interest within the larger Gascoyne Tungsten- Uranium Project.
At Nardoo Well, an intermittently mineralised vesuvianite skarn (an altered calcareous sediment) is present over a strike length of 2-3 kilometres. The skarn unit is part of the Paleoproterozoic Morrisey Metamorphic Suite. Mincor sampled three zones within the skarn unit: an upper Quartzite Skarn, the Main Skarn and a Northern Skarn, with a combined strike length of 650 metres.
Best results from channel rock-chip sampling included:

Wall Street finished the week with a listless session Friday as a decline in big ticket factory goods did little to assuage investors' economic worries and left the major indexes slightly lower. The market posted a modest loss for the week.
Durable goods orders dropped 0.3 percent in May after a sharp 4.7 percent drop the month before, according to the Commerce Department, the first back-to-back declines in two years. Economists expected orders to rise 0.4 percent. Corporate spending remained strong, however, giving investors hope that the economic slowdown may not be severe.
Yet with the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee meeting Wednesday and Thursday -- and widely expected to hike interest rates yet again -- Wall Street's chronic anxiety about economic growth overshadowed trading, and likely will continue to do until the Fed's decision is announced Thursday afternoon.
Bonds continued their selloff from the previous session, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rising to a four-year high of 5.23 percent from 5.20 percent late Thursday. The dollar was mixed against other major currencies.
Oil prices edged higher as traders remained concerned about rising international demand, tight refinery capacity and continued unrest in the Middle East.
Gold and metals reversed early losses and finished higher on Friday, overcoming a strong dollar and concerns about economic growth ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate-setting meeting next week.
Newfound optimism on Wall Street, rising crude oil prices and a bullish broker note on copper all helped metals erase their morning negative bias.
Many observers say the severe corrections experienced by metals and commodities over the past month reflect concerns that rising interest rates the world over will curb growth and subdue inflation, which include surging commodities prices.

Production Testing Update: Waraga-1 Oil Discovery, Uganda
Hardman confirms that the lowermost zone in the Waraga-1 well was successfully perforated at 09:00hrs on 22nd June 2006. The well flowed oil to surface and a stabilised rate has been established sufficient to derive composition, flow characteristics and key reservoir parameters. Initial results show a flow rate of c.1,500 bopd of 33.8 degree API oil through a 36/64" choke. The well is now shut in for pressure build up prior to further flow testing later today.
This lower zone will continue to be tested over the next 48 hours. Subsequently, further flow tests will then be conducted on the two other identified hydrocarbon bearing horizons in this well. Testing on all three zones at Waraga-1 is estimated to take approximately 14 days.
Following testing at this well location, the future programme at Mputa will be determined. The next testing programme update is scheduled for Tuesday, 27th June.
Simon Potter, Hardman Managing Director and CEO, commented:
"The Hardman-operated exploration programme in Uganda has delivered three discoveries in the first three wells and now the first oil flow not only for Uganda but also in East Africa, south of the Sudan. The hydrocarbons flowing to surface from the first of three potentially productive zones in a single well give further grounds to establish the commercial potential of the region. We also note that these zones are represented in the other wells, which is indicative of the areal extent of these sands and play systems. However, it is important to bear in mind that Hardman’s exploration programme in Uganda is at an early stage. Over the next 18 months we look forward to more fully appraising the potential of this licence, including the highly prospective area under Lake Albert, where geological analysis suggests there is significant further upside potential."- Web Site

BLACK CAT GOLD PROJECT - 81 RC holes for 3270 Metres - Resource Definition Drilling COMMENCED 20 June 2006
At the Black Cat project, 35 kilometres north-west of Coolgardie, the Company has outlined a global resource of 290,000 tonnes at 2.7 g/t gold in two resources. An optimisation study undertaken in December 2005 indicated an encouraging return using an A$550 gold price from the open pit mining of the upper portions of these resources. In light of the current gold price the project is to be reassessed with definition drilling of 81 RC holes ahead of a more detailed optimisation study.

Wall Street posted a moderate decline Thursday, giving back part of the prior session's gains as investors once again fretted about interest rates and the economy.
A slight rise in weekly unemployment claims met expectations of a weakening job market, but a greater-than-forecast drop in the Conference Board's index of leading indicators stoked concerns about a dropoff in economic growth. Meanwhile, higher oil prices and rising bond yields also weighed on Wall Street's mood.
Crude futures gained after the government reported only a small increase in gasoline stocks as the peak summer driving season gets under way.
Copper annd nickel prices continued higher for a second day on concerns about falling inventory levels.
Gold futures closed lower Thursday, as the dollar staged a broad rally against major currencies, touching a two-month high against the yen.
NEW S.A. PALAEOCHANNEL DISCOVERY IN TORO’S MAIDEN URANIUM DRILLING
A new palaeochannel containing anomalous uranium values has been identified in South Australia’s far west by Toro Energy Limited.
Named the Kattata Palaeochannel, it was discovered in Toro’s recently completed initial drilling campaign on its Yaninee Project area tenements covering 2733 square kilometres, 50 kilometres east of Streaky Bay (Refer Figure 1).
The drilling program identified anomalous uranium values over a 500 metre width across the channel (Traverse 5), with mineralisation remaining open to the east. Gamma logging returned peak responses of between 200 and 500 counts per second (cps). One metre air core samples for assay compilation confirmed uranium presence, with results ranging from 10ppm to 66ppm U (or 12ppm to 78ppm U3O8 equivalent) across a 5 to 10 metre mineralisation zone thickness.
Anomalous uranium values ranging to 19ppm U (22ppm U3O8) were also confirmed in two traverses in the nearby known Yaninee palaeochannel, which contains some historic uranium values...... - Web Site

Drilling resumes at Alpine Copper
Stellar Resources is pleased to report that work has resumed at the Alpine Copper prospect which is favourably located on the highly mineralised west coast of Tasmania. Drilling, in a planned program of 3 diamond drill holes for 600 metres, has commenced.
A significant intersection of copper of 22.25m @ 1.23% Cu was previously reported from diamond drilling hole, AP4, in April 2006. Hole AP3 intersected several zones of anomalous copper and zinc, whilst hole AP5 did not reach its target.
The possible strike extensions to the copper mineralisation will be tested by AP6 and AP8, which will be drilled some 120 to 150 metres to the east and west of AP4 respectively. Depth extension will be tested by AP7, which will be drilled some 130 metres to the south of AP4. Drilling of these holes is scheduled to be complete by mid July, with assay results becoming available during August.
Hole AP4 finished in strong mineralisation (with the last sample of 1.2 metres assaying 0.39% Cu). The consulting geologist reported some 90 plus metres of continuously mineralised drill core - in both massive and disseminated sulphides - indicating potential for a substantial mineralised system. This potential has subsequently been reinforced by the petrological test work on drill core samples, which shows that the mineralisation is essentially a hydrothermally introduced mixture of quartz-siderite-magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite. The copper mineralisation is dominated by chalcopyrite with minor to trace chalcocite and covellite.
Geophysical modelling of the aeromagnetic anomalies indicate a strike length of approximately 500 metres for the main magnetite bearing zone at Alpine. At Alpine North a slightly greater strike length, but narrower width, is indicated. Additional diamond drill holes are being planned to test Alpine North once the current program is complete.

Stocks rose Wednesday as stronger-than-expected earnings from FedEx Corp. and Morgan Stanley Inc. put investors' inflation fears on the back burner. The Dow Jones industrial average gained more than 100 points.
Crude oil futures were higher after the U.S. Department of Energy reported that gasoline inventories grew at a slow pace last week, despite high production levels.
A late-day short covering rally gave Comex copper a boost at the close on Wednesday at the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Gold futures closed higher Wednesday, finishing a few dollars short of the psychological barrier of $600 an ounce, as the dollar fell and Iran signaled it's in no hurry to respond to a Western effort to dissuade it from enriching uranium.
CHECK ASSAYS AT IMWAUNA INCREASE GOLD ASSAYS BY 92%
Vancouver, B.C. June 21, 2006 Twenty-two samples above 10 g/t gold from drill holes IMH059 to IMH 073 were re-assayed (check assays) by Screen Fire Assays at accredited laboratory, ALS Chemex in Townsville, Australia (see also Press Release dated June 8, 2006). Results from 20 of the samples show that 50 gram fire assays understate the gold content of the samples by an average of 92%. Two samples, of which are above 100 g/t gold, are being further re-checked and are not included in the above average.
Complete results with comparisons between the assay techniques will be released next week when the final two results are received.
These results are significant as they suggest that all previous assays above 10 g/t in drill-hole may be understating the gold content and the Company will now re-assay all such assays from previously reported drill holes.
Independent Geologist, Ralph Stagg of Project Geoscience, is now scheduled to visit the Imwauna prospect within the Normanby property in mid-July to provide an independent review of the drill program, sampling and assaying.

SINIVIT GOLD PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Investor Update Conference Call, June 22, 2006 - 8:30am PT/11:30 am ET
Vancouver BC. June 20, 2006. Wayne Johnston, VP Operations, New Guinea Gold Corporation, (NGG:TSX-V) has reported recent significant progress in the construction of the Sinivit gold project. The heavy rains, which had caused delays, eased towards the end of May allowing the full use of all heavy equipment (two bulldozers and two excavators) for the first time this year. Construction of the northern access road and the heavy equipment workshop area is nearing completion. Earthworks were commenced for the vat water diversion channel, processing plant site, cyanide and lime storage areas and the general maintenance workshop. This work is 90% complete.
Jim Farley, an experienced builder and engineer, arrived on site on 9th June to take up his appointment as Site Executive and building construction works will gain additional momentum. The 25 man camp, which is in addition to the existing accommodation, will be completed by the end of July, trusses for the heavy equipment workshop roof are being fabricated in timber from the portable sawmill, and construction of the additional outbuildings for the existing main camp is 80% complete. The front gate, equipment staging area, has been prepared for fencing and building construction.
The mine area has been surveyed, and earthworks for the crushing plant site and Vat construction has commenced. Pre-stripping will start once the survey data has been reviewed.
The crusher screen unit dispatched from Ireland is due to arrive in Lae, PNG, on 30 June having been off-loaded in Honiara, Solomon Islands, along with all other Lae bound cargo, due to congestion in the Lae port. Mobilization of the mining equipment by chartered barge from Lae is now scheduled around delivery of the crusher screen and should take place in the first week of July.
Fabrication of the gold processing plant is now complete and it is being prepared for immediate dispatch from Brisbane. The two 100kw Generators have arrived in Rabaul and preparation for their installation is under way. Fabrication of the drill and blast rig is well advanced and is expected to be completed by mid July.
"We're pleased to report that, with the improving weather in Papua New Guinea, Sinivit is on track for completion in the third quarter," said Bob McNeil, Chairman and CEO. "We look forward to reporting on Sinivit, and our other key projects at the AGM and the presentation/reception in Vancouver on June 21, and the following day in our conference call."

Wall Street pared an earlier advance to end mixed Tuesday as investors' persistent concerns about interest rates and the economy countered relief over an upbeat homebuilding report. A stronger-than-expected jump in new home construction fed optimism that the overall economy remains sturdy in the face of higher lending rates and gasoline prices. However, disappointing forecasts for June business sent homebuilders' shares sliding.
In London overnight, copper drifted downward, with traders there blaming this largely on technical weakness, one market watcher said.
Another cited concerns about possible slower growth in the U.S. and China.
Gold climbed on Tuesday in late U.S. trading, bolstered by concerns over a missile test by North Korea as well as a turnaround in the euro against the dollar.

Wall Street pulled back Monday as a lack of economic news left investors hesitant to buy stocks ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision next week.
Falling commodity prices and some strength in the U.S. dollar eased the inflation picture, but weakness in oil and metal-related stocks pulled the market lower.
Crude futures eased despite persistent worries about a potential supply cutoff amid rising tension over Iran's nuclear arms program.
Gold futures closed lower Monday as the dollar soared against other major currencies - hitting an eight-week high against the Japanese yen - on continued expectations that U.S.interest rates are headed higher.

MOOLARBEN RESOURCES UPGRADE
Felix Resources has announced today a significant upgrade in the resource base of its soon to be developed Moolarben Coal Project in New South Wales.
Further extensive drilling over the past twelve months has increased the open cut measured and indicated resources to 309 million tonnes at an average overburden to coal ratio of 2.7 to one. Of the 309 million tonnes, 169 million tonnes are measured with the balance indicated. The underground resources remain the same at 198 million tonnes of measured, inferred and indicted. Drilling is continuing in the underground areas.
Detailed mine planning for a 10mtpa, 25 year life of mine is nearing completion which, when finalised, will see much of the above resources converted to reserves.
Marketing of this coal to several key potential customers has commenced, with strong interest shown from some of Felix's existing customers who have increased requirements from 2008 onwards. A final feasibility study will be completed over the next 3 months with construction of the open cut envisaged to commence early in calendar 2007, with first exports in the second half of 2008. - Web Site

Luwumbu PGE Discovery Zone Confirmed
The Board of Goldstream is pleased to announce that the first drill hole of the 2006 field season, NDH018, at the Nkenja East area of the Luwumbu Project has intersected a broad zone of Platinum Group Element (PGE) mineralisation approximately 50m up-dip from the high grade intersection from hole NDH014 reported on 11 January 2006.
Goldstream Mining NL, in joint venture with Lonmin plc, is exploring for Platinum Group Element (PGE) mineralisation at Luwumbu in southern Tanzania, East Africa. The Luwumbu Joint Venture enables Lonmin to earn a 70% interest from both Goldstream (90%) & Albidon (10%) by funding all exploration to the completion of a feasibility study.
The earlier hole, NDH014, intersected 16.14m at 5.36g/t Pt+Pd+Au (2PGE+Au) from a down hole depth of 258.63m. This compares with the new mineralised intersection in hole NDH018 of 22.3m from 199.7m. The lower 17.1m of the samples sent for priority assay averaged 2.34g/t 2PGE+Au. The last sample in the batch assayed 13.9g/t 2PGE+Au over 50cm. A further 1.2m below this sample of visually similar disseminated chromite and sulphide mineralisation remains to be assayed. - Web Site

COMPANY CHANGES
Impress wishes to announce the unfortunate departure as from Friday 16 June 2006 of Mr Rob Hall (the Company's present CEO). Rob is leaving the Company for personal reasons and will remain available in the short term to assist in the finalisation of a number of ongoing Company projects.
Although Rob has only been with Impress for a short period (February 2006) he has contributed significantly in consolidating the company assets into the now material 40% interest level and has instituted essential procedures and planning within the organisation. These procedures have help lay the future foundations for Impress to grow and develop.
I mpress's Chairman Eddie Smith advised "I am delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Eddy Buckovic who will replace Rob as CEO. Eddy will be joining the company in August 2006 and has significant industry experience and has been a key figure working on significant projects at BP, Woodside and most recently BHP Billiton. Eddy has been involved in all facets of the oil and gas industry including exploration, well analysis, prospect definition, joint venture partner negotiations, development and gas marketing. I am certain with his expertise he will be influential in developing not only our resources in the Eromanga/Cooper Basin but also more importantly the next phase of corporate development..... - Web Site

MT GARNET DEPOSIT DRILLING UPGRADE
Recent drilling at Kagara's 100% owned Mt Garnet deposit has further defined a coherent zone of very high grade zinc sulphide mineralisation lying approximately 150 metres below the surface.
Hole GTD84 intersected a 27.2 metre zone assaying 24.0% zinc and 0.4% copper from 147.25 metres to 174.45 metres down hole. True width of this intersection is approximately 70% of drilled width.
The intersection is the best intersection drilled within the largely undeveloped Mt Garnet deposit and enhances the potential for early underground development.
The GTD84 intersection is down plunge and to the north of GTD21, which encountered 33 metres at 18.0% zinc and 30 metres up plunge of GTD07 which returned 8.2 metres at 30.8% zinc. No assays are currently available for a second hole GTD83, drilled further down plunge, but visual estimates confirm a 25 metre intersection within which there was a 9 metre zone of high grade zinc sulphide.
The Mt Garnet deposit has not been drilled beyond a depth of approximately 250 metres below the surface and this latest drilling has highlighted the potential for further repeats of high grade mineralisation further down plunge.
No mining has been carried out at the Mt Garnet deposit since 2003, when a 210,000 tonne parcel of open pit ore was processed as a trial mining exercise. Treatment of this parcel demonstrated a 35% overcall in contained zinc when compared to the reserve and a production cost of US$0.32 per pound. - Web Site

NICKEL SULPHIDES INTERSECTED AT CARNILYA HILL- First Drill Holes Demonstrate Mineralised System Remains Open to West
Kambalda nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (MCR: ASX) has confirmed the potential for a new nickel discovery adjacent to the old Carnilya Hill Nickel Mine, part of its Carnilya Hill Joint Venture, after its first round of drilling returned significant nickel sulphide intersections.
Mincor said today (Monday) that the results provided strong validation for its exploration concept, based on historical data and mine records, that the mineralised channel at Carnilya remains open to the west of the original ore body. Two significant intersections of nickel sulphide mineralisation were returned from a major stepout position some 270 metres down-plunge and to the west of the existing mine workings.
Two diamond drill holes and one wedge were completed targeting this position, with results including:
Core angles indicate that both intersections are close to true width.... - Web Site

POSITIVE DRILLING INTERSECTIONS AT CARNILYA HILL (NICKEL) JOINT VENTURE
View Resources Ltd's JV partner at Carnilya Hill yesterday announced significant intersections of nickel sulphide mineralisation from a major step-out position some 270 meters down-plunge and to the west of the existing mine workings. Currently Mincor Resources NL ("Mincor") is farming into a 70% JV agreement with View Resources ("View") by spending $2.5 million at Carnilya Hill over three years.
"These results confirm our own positive outlook on Carnilya Hill" said View Managing Director Tim Gooch, "and we are fortunate to have a quality partner with the experience of Mincor assisting us in the development of this asset. View has always maintained that there is significant potential for extension to the ore body along strike and at depth and these initial Mincor results are very encouraging."
Gooch went on to add, "With nickel prices currently enjoying historic high levels beyond $25,000 per tonne, View is considering the option of mining the remaining nickel at its nearby Zone 29 East Extension. Whilst gold and Bronzewing remains our primary focus it is difficult to ignore the commercial rationale for taking short term cash flow out of this resource." Zone 29 East Extension is 100% owned by View and can be exploited by View up until Mincor complete their obligations under the farm-in and earn the full 70% of all Carnilya Hill assets.

Amulet-3 Sidetrack Successful in Finding more Oil Up-Dip
Amulet-1
The Amulet-3 sidetrack commenced drilling from the same surface location as Amulet-1 and 2 on 16 June 2006. The well has since reached its planned total depth being approximately 700 metres laterally south east of Amulet-1.
It is interpreted from log information that the Amulet-3 sidetrack well has intersected a 15 metre gross oil column in a sandy section up dip from the oil bearing sand intersected in Amulet-2. The interpreted oil water contact in Amulet-3 is consistent with the implied oil water contact from Amulet-2 suggesting that the oil bearing intervals in both wells are likely connected. The reservoir appears to be interbedded with shales with a lower net to gross in the younger section.
Tap Comment
This sidetrack well was designed to establish if the oil bearing sands intersected in Amulet-2 extend up-dip and to the east. The interpreted log data confirms this.
Due to rig slot constraints, no further evaluation will be conducted from this well and it will be plugged and abandoned as planned.
All three wells drilled from this location have encountered oil columns under the regional sealing shale sequence. Seismic data indicates the possibility for additional traps further up-dip and to the east and consequently additional drilling will likely be conducted in due course to establish the full potential of this oil prone area. The rig will now be released.- Web Site

Stocks fell slightly Friday at the end of a week of zigzag trading that saw a steep selloff followed by a dramatic rebound. The major indexes finished the week mixed, with large caps seeing gains and small caps slipping.
The day's economic data was robust. The deficit in the broadest measure of foreign trade showed an unexpectedly large improvement during the first three months of this year, but soaring global oil prices are expected to limit such gains.
Copper prices rose further on Friday, extending a rally for a third straight day as investors returned to the market after steep price declines in recent weeks on concerns about slowing global economic growth and inflation.
In other commodities, oil prices climbed back above $70 a barrel, while gold jumped more than 2 percent above $580/oz on a weaker dollar - and rising oil prices.

GUADALUPE PROJECT CONTINUES TO YIELD OUTSTANDING RESULTS FROM NORTHERN DRILLING AT DEEPER ELEVATION
The Directors are pleased to announce a further outstanding result from the diamond drilling programme at Guadalupe North.
Assays were received for hole TGDH 065D which intersected 29 metres true width of quartz vein breccia averaging 3.0 g/t Au and 279 g/t Ag (7.3 g/t AuEq)
TGDH065D is 350 metres north on strike of the previously reported TGDH055D ( 12 metres @ 19.3 g/t Au and 638 g/t Ag or 29.1 g/t AuEq).
Hole TGDH065D was drilled to explore the down dip extension of the structure cut by hole TGDH060D under the clay (alteration) bloom in the northern part of the Guadalupe structure.
Further drilling is in progress between TGDH055D and north along strike from TGDH065D. This drilling programme is again proving the value in testing beneath strong clay alteration zones with little or no visible surface mineralisation....... - Web Site

Further Positive Drilling Results From West Kalkaroo
Our latest drilling at West Kalkaroo has confirmed the usual Kalkaroo mineralisation as well as establishing that another ore system, a GOLD-BEARING, BRECCIA VEIN SYSTEM occurs close by.
Based on these new results and those previously reported for KKRC097, two types of mineralisation appear to be present at West Kalkaroo. The first is the stratabound, Kalkaroo style that has generally higher copper grades (eg drillhole KKRC103). The second type occurs within a breccia vein zone that is up to 100 metres wide. It is characterized by higher gold grades such as 39 metres of 1.45 g/t in drillhole KKRC099 and 60 metres of 1.0 g/t in drillhole KKRC101. Some drillholes appear to have a mixture of both styles of mineralisation (eg KKRC097 and 102)....... - Web Site

Wall Street rallied for a second session Thursday as mild economic data helped stocks regain their footing after several weeks of hefty losses. The Dow Jones industrials surged almost 200 points to surpass the closely watched 11,000 level.
The market turned sharply higher Thursday afternoon after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said record energy and commodity prices could account for some of the recent uptick in core prices but that inflation expectations have remained within historical ranges.
Bonds slumped as stocks rose, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rising 5.10 percent from 5.06 percent late Wednesday. However, the continued inversion of short- and long-term yields signaled investor expectations of a slowing economy. May industrial production fell 0.1 percent, below estimates for a 0.2 percent rise and down sharply from a 0.8 percent jump the month before.
Crude futures saw another day of gains after the government reported a larger-than-expected drop in U.S. oil reserves as refineries stepped up output to meet summer gasoline demand.
After seven straight days of losses, gold futures closed higher Thursday, bolstering confidence in the metals sector, as the dollar faltered and the stock market rallied.

Mount Finnerty Iron Ore Drilling Results
Reed Resources Ltd (ASX:RDR) announces the successful completion of an initial drilling program by joint venture partner Portman Iron Ore Ltd (Portman) at the company's Mount Finnerty project. Portman have the right to earn 80% of the iron rights in the project.
Initial surface exploration by Portman earlier this year identified several areas of surface iron enrichment with assays in excess of 60 % Fe spread over a distance of 35 kilometres along the strike of the greenstone belt.
Nine prospects, identified as FIN1 to FIN9 were selected for a reconnaissance drilling campaign to test the depth extent of surface iron enrichment. RC drilling was completed at seven of the prospects, with drilling deferred at the FIN3 and FIN7 prospects.
Portman completed 28 RC drill holes for a total of 1,497 metres targeting direct shipping grade iron ore.
The best drill results were obtained from the FIN9 prospect where all four drill holes returned significant intercepts of iron enrichment (>58 % Fe). - Web Site

Stocks rebounded Wednesday, with the Dow Jones industrial average climbing more than 110 points. The jump pulled Wall Street out of a two-week decline that had wiped out the year's gains in every major index.
Stocks gained momentum in late afternoon trading after a largely lackluster session marked by mixed reactions to the Commerce Department's Consumer Price index inflation data. Consumer-level inflation grew in May at an annual rate of 2.4 percent, making another Federal Reserve rate hike a near certainty and putting an end to traders' fretting about the possibility.
According to the Department of Energy, US reserves of petrol rose in the past week but crude oil stocks fell.
Copper rose for the first day in five in London, leading other metals such as aluminum and zinc higher on speculation an earlier decline was exaggerated.
China, the largest consumer of metals including copper and aluminum, said today its industrial production rose 17.9 percent in May, the biggest gain in two years.
Gold futures closed lower Wednesday - failing to hold earlier gains despite weakness in the U.S. dollar, to tally a seven-session loss of more than $82 an ounce.

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 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 031 and KRC 032, drilled on Section 9 and Section 10 respectively. See diagram attached.
KRC 031 (7821900N/501210E- 60deg/159deg) was drilled to test for mineralisation down to 150m vertical depth.
The following intersections were logged:
From 35m to 37m there is a 2 metre zone which contains between 20% to 50% sphalerite and 10% to 40% galena.
From 58m to 118 m there are 6 zones totalling 25 metres containing between 10% to 50% sphalerite and 4 zones totalling 19m containing between 10% to 30% galena.
From 151m to 173m there are 4 zones totalling 14m containing between 10% to 50% sphalerite and 3 zones totalling 16m containing between 10% to 30% galena.
The dolomite contact was logged at 176m.
KRC 032 (7821894N/5012330E, -60deg/159deg) was drilled to test for mineralisation down to 50m vertical depth.
The following intersection was logged:
From 55m to 65m there is a 10 metre zone containing between 10% to 60% galena with a 5 metre zone between 55m and 60m containing between 15% to 30% sphalerite.
The dolomite contact was logged at 84m.
Consistent with previous drilling, the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hanging wall.
Drilling is continuing on Section 10.

DRILLING REPORT: RIMFIRE #1
PEL 113, COOPER / EROMANGA BASIN, SA
Stuart Petroleum Limited advises that the Rimfire #1 oil exploration well spudded at 04:00hrs on the 14 June and is currently drilling the 12 1/4" surface hole.
Location: PEL 113
Planned Total Depth: 1542 metres (TVD)
Current depth: 33 metres
Operation: Drilling 12 1/4" surface hole.
Spud: 14 June at 04:00 hrs. - Web Site
AMULET OIL FIELD DISCOVERY
Amulet-1
The Amulet-1 exploration well was spudded on 24 May 2006 and drilled to its total depth.
A 26 metre oil column on a water contact was discovered in this well. Oil samples were recovered and indicate a light oil similar to that produced at the nearby Talisman oil field by Marathon in the early 1990's.
A preliminary interpretation of the reservoir indicates that it has the potential to flow oil at rates of up to 10,000 bopd using a horizontal well. A full core analysis will however be required to confirm this.
Amulet-1 CH (core hole)
The pre drill planning of this well included the alternative to core the well as opposed to flow testing it. This is because core data, when combined with pressure testing and sample recovery is considered to be one of the most effective methods of evaluating reservoir potential and flow characteristics for a development decision.
Consequently, on 7 June 2006 Amulet-1 CH was drilled and a full 34 meter core section was recovered. Oil was dripping from this core when it was laid out on the rig floor.
Amulet-2 sidetrack
The Amulet-2 sidetrack well was drilled on 9 June 2006 to test the extent of the Amulet structure to the south east and investigate the possibility of additional oil reservoirs towards the basin bounding fault.
This well confirmed both the south eastern extent of the lower oil pool and intersected another oil pool in a structurally higher sand. This sand contained a 6 metre oil column without a water contact and better reservoir quality than the lower sand.
The size of the lower oil pool is estimated to be around 24 mmbls of oil in place. Recoverable volumes of up to 10 to 15 mmbls are estimated at this stage however this will need to be confirmed in due course when the core data mentioned above has been thoroughly analysed and development scenarios determined.
Encountering oil in the second sand was an excellent result and it is seismically mapped to thicken up-dip to the east. Moreover there is potential for yet more oil bearing sands east and up-dip towards the fault. Establishing the eastern extent of the known upper oil pool and the existence of additional sands will require another well and the Joint Venture is in discussions on an additional rig slot at this stage. - Web Site

Wall Street resumed its retreat with another session of steep losses Tuesday as declines in oil and gold prices did little to calm anxiety over inflation. The selloff erased the Dow Jones industrial average's gains so far in 2006. Investors struggled to make sense of the Labor Department's May producer price index, which showed a mild uptick in wholesale prices but a stronger-than-forecast rise in inflation without food or energy costs. The data suggested that energy costs did not grow as much as expected, but the higher core prices nonetheless kept the market on edge.
Wall Street's pullback trailed sharp losses on stock markets worldwide, which were driven by worries that a weakening U.S. economy will overturn other economies in its wake. The continued inversion of short- and long-term bond yields was also evidence of the market's expectations of an economic slowdown.
Crude futures fell as Tropical Storm Alberto posed less of a threat to U.S. refineries in the Gulf of Mexico.
Gold and other metals suffered their biggest meltdown since the early 1990s Tuesday, as concerns over the impact of rising interest rates on global growth continued to rock speculative markets. The selloff was even more pronounced for silver, with the July contract losing $1.44, or 13%, to $9.62 an ounce. Copper for July delivery dropped 21 cents, or 6.8%, to $3.01 a pound. Both routs were the worst percentage declines in more than a decade.

The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company has formally advised that it has agreed to enter into the power supply agreement with EMAG.
This agreement will give EMAG guaranteed access to grid electricity at below US 2 cents/KWh. Low cost power in a reliable environment was one of the major factors for choosing Egypt as the site for the Dow technology magnesium smelter. Electricity is the primary cost item for operation of the smelter comprising around 25% of the estimated operating costs. Securing agreement to low cost power confirms the EMAG smelter as a low cost magnesium producer sitting at the bottom of the lowest quartile cost producers.- Web Site

Amulet-2 Appraisal Well Update - SUCCESSFUL EXTENSION OF AMULET-1 DISCOVERY
Since the last report Amulet-1 CH has been drilled alongside Amulet-1 to collect a core over the intersected reservoir section. A full 34 metre section of core was collected and has been dispatched for laboratory analysis.
The Amulet-2 sidetrack well has also been drilled to its planned total depth and preliminary wireline evaluation been completed.
The oil bearing sand from Amulet-1 was intersected in Amulet-2 on prognosis and preliminary analysis indicates it is oil bearing with an oil water contact consistent with Amulet-1.
In addition to this, a separate 6 metre oil sand was intersected shallower in the well. Pressure testing data suggests that this is lighter oil than that recovered from Amulet-1 and is in a separate pool. Initial indications are that the reservoir quality in the second sand in Amulet-2 is of better quality than the reservoir in Amulet-1. - Web Site

Wall Street extended its monthlong retreat Monday as inflation fears kept investors on edge following hefty losses last week, the worst so far in 2006. A late-day selloff dragged the Dow Jones industrials down nearly 100 points and put the Nasdaq composite index at a seven-month low.
Recent signs of slowing economic growth now has Wall Street worried that too many rate hikes could send the economy sliding. Trading was expected to be skittish this week ahead of wholesale and consumer price data, which might bring clues about whether the Fed will boost rates again at its June 28-29 meeting.
Declining issues outpaced advancers by more than 4 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where preliminary consolidated volume of 2.3 billion shares trailed the 2.31 billion shares that changed hands Friday.
Crude futures dropped amid relief that the first major tropical storm of the year was expected to miss Gulf Coast refineries.
Gold prices in Asia fell as a strengthening U.S. dollar eroded the precious metal's appeal as an alternative investment.
PRESS RELEASE - NEW GUINEA GOLD
106g/t GOLD OVER 3m INTERVAL AT IMWAUNA
Vancouver 8th June 2006. High grade gold has been intersected in three new drill holes at the Imwauna Project, Normanby Property, Papua New Guinea.
Hole IMH 67 intersected a 6m interval between 120.2 and 126.2m downhole at 67.98g/t gold and 68.9g/t silver, including a higher grade interval of 3m at 106g/t gold.
Hole IMH 68 which is 60m south of IMH 67 intersected 2.4m between 39.8 and 42.2m downhole at 13.68g/t gold and 65.7g/t silver.
Hole IMH 69 which is also 60m south of IMH 67 and approximately 50m below IMH 68 intersected 10m between 99.1 and 109.1m downhole at 18.10g/t gold and 31.4g/t silver including 2.2m at 32.5g/t gold and 49g/t silver.
Drilling is continuing and further results are expected within the next few weeks. The above intersections would be slightly greater than true widths.
The above drill results are outstanding, and appear to indicate the development of high grade gold mineralisation towards the southern end of the Imwauna vein system.
Mineralisation widths also appear to be increasing to the south and to depth. The fact that the mineralised zone has now been intersected at vertical depths of more than 100 metres below surface is also regarded as particularly significant.
As a check on the above assay results the higher grade zones are being re-assayed using the screen fire assay technique. All assays were completed at accredited laboratory ALS - Chemex at Townsville Australia.
Drill hole co-ordinates are shown on the accompanying table which lists details of holes IMH 67,68, and 69.

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 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 029 and KRC 030, drilled on Section 9, 100 metres north east of Section 2 - See diagram attached.
KRC 029 (7821835N/501248E- 60deg/159deg) was drilled to test for mineralisation down to 50m vertical depth.
The following intersections was logged:
From 56m to 67m, there is an 11 m zone which contains between 20% to 50% sphalerite and a 7 m zone of 5% to 10% galena between 60m to 67m. The dolomite contact was logged at 67m.
KRC 030 (7821857N/501235E, -60deg/159deg) was drilled to test for mineralisation down to 100m vertical depth.
The following intersections were logged:
From 49m to 65 m there is a 16m zone which contains between 5% to 25% sphalerite and between 5% to 30% galena.
From 81m to 100m there is a 19m zone which contains between 10% to 60% sphalerite (60% sphalerite was logged between 81 and 82 m) and a 5m zone between 81m to 86m containing 15% to 30% galena, with a further 5m zone between 95m and 100m containing 15% to 40% galena. The dolomite contact was logged at 104m.
Consistent with previous drilling, the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hanging wall.
Drilling is continuing on Section 9.
The Company is expecting the return of further assay results from completed holes KRC 023 to KRC 030 which have been submitted for assaying.

Wall Street finished its worst week of the year with a moderate decline Friday as persistent unease over inflation and interest rates kept investors nervous about buying. Stocks had appeared to steady themselves in morning trading Friday following several days of heavy losses. But a jump in import prices and increased demand for foreign-made products renewed the market's inflation jitters and sent stocks sliding by midday.
The U.S. Trade Deficit Climbed to $63.4 Billion in April after 2 months of declines, pushed by oil prices and a flood of imports from China. Analysts warned that global oil prices above $70 per barrel will swell the deficit more in coming months.
Oil prices rose by more than $1 a barrel Friday, reversing a three-day decline. Brokers attributed the rise to tough talk from an Iranian cleric and the kidnapping of a senior Iraqi petroleum industry official. Also, a Nigerian government official said more than 800,000 barrels a day of the country's oil production was shut -- about 60 percent more than previously reported -- because of violence in the Niger Delta.
Copper prices held steady on Friday, a day after losing 6 percent as concerns about rising inflation and slowing global economic growth spurred a broad-based sell-off in financial markets.
Gold futures fell Friday to close at their lowest level in two months, suffering a cumulative four-session loss of nearly $36 an ounce to end the week down more than 4%.
Meanwhile, Merrill Lynch raised its 2006 gold price forecast to $650 an ounce from $525, and raised its 2007 outlook to $675 an ounce from $500 an ounce.
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 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 029 and KRC 030, drilled on Section 9, 100 metres north east of Section 2 - See diagram attached.
KRC 029 (7821835N/501248E- 60deg/159deg) was drilled to test for mineralisation down to 50m vertical depth.
The following intersections was logged:
From 56m to 67m, there is an 11 m zone which contains between 20% to 50% sphalerite and a 7 m zone of 5% to 10% galena between 60m to 67m. The dolomite contact was logged at 67m.
KRC 030 (7821857N/501235E, -60deg/159deg) was drilled to test for mineralisation down to 100m vertical depth.
The following intersections were logged:
From 49m to 65 m there is a 16m zone which contains between 5% to 25% sphalerite and between 5% to 30% galena.
From 81m to 100m there is a 19m zone which contains between 10% to 60% sphalerite (60% sphalerite was logged between 81 and 82 m) and a 5m zone between 81m to 86m containing 15% to 30% galena, with a further 5m zone between 95m and 100m containing 15% to 40% galena. The dolomite contact was logged at 104m.
Consistent with previous drilling, the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hanging wall.
Drilling is continuing on Section 9.
The Company is expecting the return of further assay results from completed holes KRC 023 to KRC 030 which have been submitted for assaying.

PRESS RELEASE - NEW GUINEA GOLD
106g/t GOLD OVER 3m INTERVAL AT IMWAUNA
Vancouver 8th June 2006. High grade gold has been intersected in three new drill holes at the Imwauna Project, Normanby Property, Papua New Guinea.
Hole IMH 67 intersected a 6m interval between 120.2 and 126.2m downhole at 67.98g/t gold and 68.9g/t silver, including a higher grade interval of 3m at 106g/t gold.
Hole IMH 68 which is 60m south of IMH 67 intersected 2.4m between 39.8 and 42.2m downhole at 13.68g/t gold and 65.7g/t silver.
Hole IMH 69 which is also 60m south of IMH 67 and approximately 50m below IMH 68 intersected 10m between 99.1 and 109.1m downhole at 18.10g/t gold and 31.4g/t silver including 2.2m at 32.5g/t gold and 49g/t silver.
Drilling is continuing and further results are expected within the next few weeks. The above intersections would be slightly greater than true widths.
The above drill results are outstanding, and appear to indicate the development of high grade gold mineralisation towards the southern end of the Imwauna vein system.
Mineralisation widths also appear to be increasing to the south and to depth. The fact that the mineralised zone has now been intersected at vertical depths of more than 100 metres below surface is also regarded as particularly significant.
As a check on the above assay results the higher grade zones are being re-assayed using the screen fire assay technique. All assays were completed at accredited laboratory ALS - Chemex at Townsville Australia.
Drill hole co-ordinates are shown on the accompanying table which lists details of holes IMH 67,68, and 69.

Spot Sale of Svartliden Gold Production
Dragon Mining advises it has reached agreement to defer delivery of gold into the current hedge obligations and to sell gold production from the Svartliden Mine on a spot basis.
In consideration, the Company has agreed to apply all proceeds above US$400 per ounce to the outstanding Project Debt with the short term objective of paying off the present outstanding debt of US$ 5.2 million.
The agreement is subject to change with minimal notice. It involved the ?rolling out? of the balance of the June 2006 quarter hedge obligation until the September 2009 quarter. It is likely all of the September 2006 quarter hedged obligations will be ?rolled out? to a similar delivery period.
The Company is preparing a new ?life of mine? plan for Svartliden which will be an essential requirement in continuing to sell some gold production on a spot basis.- Web Site

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.
As reported by Santos on 18 May 2006, the Jeruk-3 appraisal well has been flow tested over the open hole interval 4939 m MD to 4978 m MD (4663 m TVDSS to 4696 m TVDSS). This test was curtailed after several hours, prior to the flow and pressure being stabilized, due to a loss of control line pressure.
Following repairs, the well was subsequently re-tested over the same interval. The main flow test was conducted over a 48 hour period, and the well flowed oil at a stabilized rate of approximately 2750 bbl/day with a GoR of approximately 320 scf/bbl through a 16/64” choke, at a well head pressure of approximately 4500 psi.
Flow rates were constrained by surface facility limitations.- Web Site

Wall Street recovered from an earlier plunge to finish narrowly mixed Thursday as investors attempted to rally from a week of losses fueled by concerns that higher interest rates will strain the global economy.
Persistent inflation and rate worries pushed stocks substantially lower during the session, with the Dow Jones industrials dropping more than 173 points at midday. But bargain hunters entered the market late in the day and took advantage of relatively cheap stock prices.
The market's comeback helped draw attention from rate increases by the European Central Bank, South Korea and India.
Oil prices fell for the third straight day on Thursday following the death of al-Qaida's leader in Iraq and on concerns of a slowdown in global economic growth.
Gold futures closed at an eight-week low Thursday as the dollar rallied on continued expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates and on news of the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq.
Other metals also fell sharply.
Leading U.K shares tumbled to their worst levels of the year as investors latched onto fears about higher inflation, interest rates and slowing global growth from other markets, even as the Bank of England left interest rates on hold.

MINCOR PASSES TWO MILLION TONNE MILESTONE
Over 65,000 tonnes of Nickel Metal Produced from 2 Million Tonnes of Ore to Date
Kambalda nickel producer Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) announced today that it had achieved a key milestone after mining and delivering its two millionth tonne of ore from its Kambalda Nickel Operations in Western Australia.
The milestone represents a landmark achievement for the Company, which started mining at Kambalda in early 2001 with total reserves of just 844,000 tonnes of ore at its Miitel Nickel Mine.
Mincor's two million tonnes of production has been mined at an average grade of 3.27% nickel, containing over 65,000 tonnes of nickel metal. This represents approximately 5% of all the nickel metal mined from the Kambalda Nickel District in its 35 year history. - Web Site

Dalray Oil well Plugged and Abandoned - Rig move to Rimfire
South Australian-based Stuart Petroleum Ltd today announces that it is moving to plug and abandon the Dalray #1 oil wildcat in the Cooper Basin PEL 93. The well failed to encounter economic hydrocarbons. Drill Stem Test #2 on Dalray #1, which was to test the Patchawarra Formation over the interval 1506m to 1525m, was aborted due to hole instability. The drilling rig now moves to Rimfire #1 in adjacent PEL 113, another shallow oil target, near to the Harpoono Oil Field.
"The disappointing result at Dalray effectively downgrades our expectations of oil reserves in the Padulla/Dalray complex," commented Stuart Petroleum managing director, Mr. Tino Guglielmo. "Exploitation of the Padulla oil field will now focus on the two successful wells on the structure, Padulla #2 and #3, which are 100% owned by Stuart."
Testing of Padulla #3 is commencing today.
Rimfire #1 is an oil target 3km North-East of the Harpoono oilfield, which is currently producing at around 400 barrels a day. The Rimfire drill target was developed from a three-dimensional seismic survey conducted by Stuart and its partners last year. This seismic program was largely responsible for the delineation of the successful Harpoono #2 development well which flowed at an initial rate of 1080 barrels a day during testing.
Rimfire #1 exploration well will be spudded on or about 12 June 2006. This is a follow up to the oil discovery made by Harpoono 1 in May 2004 and subsequent appraisal drilling of the Harpoono Field carried out in 2006.
The Rimfire structure has potential oil in place of 1.7 million barrels (mean) in the Murta Formation, the McKinlay Member and the Hutton Sandstone.- Web Site

Stocks dropped Wednesday, extending investors' losses for the third straight session and pushing the Dow Jones industrial average below 11,000 for the first time since March 9.
The Dow has lost more than 316 points this week; the selloff has also wiped out the Nasdaq composite index's gains for the year and put the Standard & Poor's 500 index less than 8 points away from its Dec. 31 close. Volume was light, as it has been all week.
European markets closed higher after their Tuesday swoon, but Asian stocks continued to tremble. The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 5.36 percent, its biggest fall in more than four years, on fears that new share issues may outstrip demand. Japan's Nikkei stock average fell to its lowest close in six months on concerns over U.S. interest rates and the arrest this week of a high-profile fund manager.
Gold futures closed at a seven-week low Wednesday, as the dollar continued higher on expectations of a June rate increase and hopes for a break in the diplomatic impasse over Iran's nuclear program.
Other metals were mixed with silver up 4.5 cents at $11.89 an ounce, platinum off $4.40 at $1,231.50 an ounce and palladium down $7.10 at $338.75.
Copper overcame morning weakness to close up 9.5 cents at $3.584 a pound.

Stocks dropped for the second straight session Tuesday, with the Dow Jones industrial average falling to its worst close since March 9. Global markets also sold off as inflation fears worsened. The Dow lost more than 110 points in midday trading before narrowing its loss later in the session.
Declining issues led advancers by more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Stocks in most Asian markets fell hard Tuesday, with Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index down 1.81 percent, while India's benchmark index fell 2.51 percent. The major European indexes also dropped, with Ireland's benchmark index down 4.89 percent and Austria's benchmark falling 4.75 percent.
Comex copper ignored bullish news over the past two sessions and closed sharply lower on Tuesday at the New York Mercantile Exchange after the U.S. Federal Reserve took a hawkish view on inflation.
The benchmark July contract settled 11.15 cents lower at $3.4895 per pound. During the session the contract got as low as $3.44 per pound.
Gold futures closed with a loss of $14 an ounce Tuesday as comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on inflation -- interpreted as signaling more interest-rate increases -- helped lift the U.S. dollar to touch a one-month high against Japan's yen.

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 026, KRC 027 and KRC 028, drilled on Section 2 - See diagram attached.
KRC 026 (7821789N/501159E - 60deg/159deg) was drilled to the west of KRC 025 to test for mineralization down to 50m vertical depth.
The following intersection was logged:
Between 42m and 78m, there is a 36m zone within the quartzites which contains significant volumes of sphalerite and galena. The dolomite contact was logged at 78m.
KRC 027 (7821815N/501144E - 60deg/159deg) was drilled to the west of KRC 026 to test for mineralization down to 100m vertical depth.
The following intersections were logged:
Between 76m and 90m there are 5 zones totalling 10m which contain 5% to 30% sphalerite and an 8m zone of 5% to 20% galena between 78m and 86m.
Between 92m and 102m, there is a 10m zone which contains between 20% to 60% sphalerite (60% sphalerite was logged at 102m) and between 5% to 30% galena. The dolomite contact was logged at 102m.
KRC 028 (7821860N/501112E -60deg/159deg) was drilled west of KRC027 to test for mineralization down to 150m vertical depth.
The following intersections were logged:
Between 90m and 96m there is a 6m zone which contains between 10% to 40% sphalerite and 5% to 30% galena.
Between 117m and 126m there is a 9m zone which contains between 5% to 60% sphalerite (60% sphalerite was logged between 122m and 123m) and 5% to 50% galena.
Between 151 and 161m there is a 10m zone which contains between 10% to 30% sphalerite and a 3m zone of 5% galena between 155m and 158m.
Between 166m and 174m there is an 8m zone which contains between 10% to 25% sphalerite and 5% to 10% galena. Malachite was also logged in this zone.
This hole terminated in mineralization at 174m because of bit wear.
Consistent with previous drilling, the mineralised zones were intersected in a quartzite unit below a very cohesive dolomite hanging wall.
Drilling is continuing on Section 9, which is 100m north east of Section 2.
The Company is expecting the return of further assay results from completed holes KRC 020 to KRC 028 which have been submitted for assaying.
The above results are part of an infill drilling programme currently being conducted by the Company, with the intention of upgrading this 2.4 km long zone of mineralisation to an open pittable JORC compliant resource/reserve down to a vertical depth of 150 m. A scoping study conducted by ProMet Engineers in November 2005 has estimated some 17,500,000 tonnes to 100m depth yielding average grades of 3% zinc, 1% lead and 28 g/t silver, with significant credits from copper and vanadium.

TENEMENT POSITION ENHANCED AND CONSOLIDATED IN TASMANIA
TasGold has successfully re-consolidated its dominant land position at the SMRV Project in SW Tasmania’s highly mineralised Mount Read Volcanic Province south of Macquarie Harbour, plus around the Lisle gold Project in the northeast of the state .
The Company re-acquired all the prospective area (137 km2 in 2 ELs) and prospects peripheral to the SMRV (by a competitive tender process based on expenditure commitment and associated work program) that it had strategically and voluntarily relinquished in 2005, due to Tasmania’s 5 year term policy on Exploration Licences.
TasGold now holds the entire highly prospective 45 kilometre strike length of Mt Read Volcanics south of Macquarie Harbour to Elliott Bay and will likely seek a Retention Licence over the base + precious metal mineralisation the Company has defined at the Wart Hill Prospect. - Web Site

Metallica Drilling Recommences on NORNICO Nickel
Metallica Minerals Limited (ASX Code ‘MLM’) is pleased to announce that drilling has recommenced on the NORNICO nickel project after a six week hiatus, due to a particularly long and late wet season resulting in access difficulties.
A 20 hole, 1000m RC programme is planned for the Kokomo Ni-Co laterite prospect to define an initial resource for that area and to follow up the good results encountered in KK-049 drilled in 2005. KK-49 intersected 34m @ 0.90% Ni and 0.34% Co (approximately 2% Nickel equivalent) from 15m and included 13m @ 0.28g/t Au from 36 to 49m (EOH) which was also associated with high anomalous values of Ba, Bi, Cu, Pb and Zn, see ASX release 14th June 2005.
On completion of the Kokomo nickel laterite drilling, the rig will locate to the Six Mile gold prospect to drill approximately thirteen RC holes for 2280m. This work will be under the direction of Metallica’s joint venture partner Straits Exploration Ltd.
While the drilling rig is at Kokomo, Metallica plans to drill test three high order airborne EM anomalies identified in September 2005, targeting nickel-basemetals and gold-copper massive sulphide mineralisation.
On completion of the above programme Metallica intends to return to Bell Creek in July to commence infill drilling at the Bell Creek South and North Leases to increase the resource status of these areas from Inferred to Indicated and possible Measured for the planned Pre-feasibility study.
An airborne EM anomaly identified at Bell Creek Northwest in late 2005 has been confirmed by a subsequent ground EM survey and will also be drill tested at this time, targeting nickel-copper-platinoid massive sulphide mineralisation. - Web Site

Inflation fears sent stocks plunging Monday as jitters over high oil prices exacerbated signals that the Federal Reserve will keep lifting interest rates to contain price increases. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told an international monetary conference that while rising energy costs have helped slow the pace of economic growth, core inflation -- excluding energy and food -- was near the central bank's tolerance level and could warrant further rate tightening.
Oil prices edged higher Monday after Iran's supreme leader threatened to disrupt global supplies if the West punishes Tehran over its nuclear program. But analysts said the market remains well-supplied and that there are signs global demand growth is weakening.

TWIN HILLS SILVER MINE PROGRESS REPORT
Macmin Silver Ltd has signed a contract with Mearns Environmental Contracting Pty Ltd for an equipment fleet to commence mining at Twin Hills. The equipment comprises one Komatsu PC 1000 Hydraulic Excavator and three Caterpillar 773 off highway Rear Dump Trucks, which will be on site from July 1. This agreement provides that Mearns supplies the equipment and maintenance services whilst Macmin will supply the operators.
The arrival of the mining fleet will permit the Company to speed up its earthmoving activities on site. These activities initially include moving recently blasted rock from the storm containment dam; shifting and stockpiling alluvium in readiness for the next round of heap leach area preparation; and commencing the digging of waste and ore from the pit.
The Company has commenced discussions with Inglewood Shire Council on the possible use of ‘grey' water from the Texas townsite sewerage treatment plant. The water would be used in the processing plant and would serve as an alternate supplementary water supply in conjunction with the currently identified water resources on the site.
The water feasibility study is being undertaken by a consultant group, Wide Bay Water Corporation, on behalf of the Council and Macmin. Results of the study, which is to provide cost estimates, preliminary designs and business arrangements, should be available in four weeks.
The benefits of a guaranteed permanent water supply to site would very positively impact the project, particularly during periods of drought and when production rate expansions are considered. The project can be seen as a further example of the excellent relationship the Company enjoys with the local community of the Inglewood Shire.
The recently released (ASX May 26 Update) brochure shows photographs of the construction progress on the crushing and processing circuits and I would recommend shareholders and investors view these on our website www.macmin.com.au. These photos highlight the significant progress that has been achieved over the last few months as we come towards the completion of the construction phase at Twin Hills.
Silver Price
The price of silver has moved ahead strongly this year and has substantially added to the economic strength of the Twin Hills Project. Although the recent pull back in the silver price from US$15 per oz to US$12 per oz highlights silver's increasing volatility, the Company believes that fundamental supply and demand issues will underpin an ongoing increase in silver price in the coming years.

Cadenza-1 Gas Discovery - Cased & Suspended as a potential future gas producer
PEL 106 - Cooper Basin, South Australia
Great Artesian Oil and Gas Limited (ASX: GOG), on behalf of the Paranta Block Joint Venture, wishes to advise that at 0600 hrs CST this morning the status of Cadenza-1 was as follows:
Current Depth - 2993 m (Total Depth)
Current Operation - Running 7 inch production casing
Forward Operations - Case and Suspend
Cadenza-1 is being cased and suspended as a potential future gas producer. Further cased-hole production testing will be conducted in about three months when appropriate equipment and a smaller workover rig are sourced. DST-2 over the interval 2641-2644m was aborted on Saturday because of a mechanical packer failure. It was then decided to protect the hole with casing and defer further testing until a later date. Based on analysis of wireline logs and gas shows encountered while drilling a number of hydrocarbon bearing zones are interpreted in the well. DST-1 conducted on 2 June has previously confirmed deliverability from the zone 2691-2694m with a flow of 1.5 million cubic feet of gas per day (MMCFGD) through a 1/2" inch choke. - Web Site

Pedirka Basin
Central Petroleum Limited has completed reprocessing and analysis of good quality original field tape seismic data by WesternGeco and ISIS Petroleum Consultants over the Avalon and Blamore Prospects in EP93, the Pedirka Basin, and chosen locations for drilling. The results have upgraded Blamore as the priority target with cumulative deterministic “low”, “best” and “high” estimates of undiscovered petroleum initially in place of 75, 299, and 495 MMbbls. A probabilistic mean or “best” Prospective Resource of 44 MMbbls recoverable was calculated using a conservative recovery factor range of 20-22% in 6 stacked target reservoirs ranging from 1,300m to 2,050m in crestal depth.
Corresponding figures for the Avalon Prospect are 44, 110 and 267 “low”, “best” and “high” in place and a probabilistic mean or “best” recoverable of 26 MMbbls using the same conservative recovery factors in 5 stacked horizons over similar depth ranges.
The Central Land Council plans to commence sacred site clearance of access routes and drilling sites on June 13th 2006.

Wall Street struggled to the finish Friday, closing out the week barely changed after a steep dip in monthly job growth left investors confused about the economy's health. The major indexes were narrowly mixed for the week.
Despite the major indexes' retreat, advancing issues still outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1 on the NYSE.
Bonds surged on optimism about a possible end to the Fed's rate tightening. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note tumbled to 4.99 percent from 5.1 percent late Thursday.
The U.S. dollar fell against the Japanese yen but was flat versus European currencies.
Overseas stock markets showed signs of stabilizing after recent declines. Japan's Nikkei stock average gained 1.84 percent; Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.26 percent, Germany's DAX index lost 0.36 percent and France's CAC-40 was higher by 0.25 percent.
Crude futures rebounded from two days of losses amid persistent worries about political tension in Nigeria and Iran - it was reported that eight foreigners working on a drilling rig off the coast of Nigeria had been kidnapped.
Gold futures closed higher Friday, leading an advance across the metals pits as the dollar fell sharply following a weaker-than-expected May jobs report and traders awaited the next exchanges in Iran's nuclear dispute with the West.

UPDATE ON CURRENT PROJECTS
Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") wishes to advise the status of our current projects:
Eagle North-1 well California USA
In order to reduce the costs and to carry out the testing of this well in a more efficient manner a completion rig and coiled tubing unit have been secured. This has enabled the operator to release the more costly large drilling rig which has been on site for several months.
Although the cost of this well has "blown out" significantly the operator is hopeful that flow rates of up to 1,000 barrels of oil per day can be achieved. Lakes Oil holds 15% interest in this well and with the oil price currently at approximately $70 a barrel we would re-coup our cost reasonably quickly if the well should flow as anticipated. Current timing for re-entry and testing of the well is expected in the next 10-14 days.
Sinopec Status
As previously reported to the ASX on 5 May 2006 Lakes has signed a conditional agreement 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 all Lakes Oil's permits and if it is implemented would see Sinopec becoming our joint venture partner and taking over the operatorship.
Lakes Oil has been advised that Sinopec is currently doing its due diligence in Beijing and continues to be keen to proceed with this project. Lakes Oil has also had discussions with several potential partners in the USA which are progressing.
Tight Gas Project
A recent report carried out by an independent organisation in the USA has indicated that the Wombat Field could hold up to 536BCF of gas in place and the Gangell Field 375BCF of gas in place. A conditional figure of between 32 BCF and 559 BCF of gas in place has been given for Trifon. (The large variance for the Trifon structure is dependant on the depth of the lowest recorded gas flow and this well still has zones which are yet to be fracture stimulated).
The report has indicated that based on the Wombat-2 well together with American experience the Wombat field developed on 40 acre spacing, could yield gas with a recovery factor of 50%.
Possibly the most interesting section of the report relates to the Wombat-2 well potential. In the past, 70,000 pounds of fracture proppant pellets were injected into the formation and induced fracture length of approximately 86 feet was achieved yielding the current 680,000 cubic feet of gas per day production rate. The report suggests that should a much larger amount of proppant be injected, resulting in fracture lengths of up to 600 feet from the wellbore to the tip, initial flow rates could be several times as great as our current flow. Current technology in the USA has some hydraulic fracture treatments carried out with over one million pounds of proppant injected, considerably larger than is currently carried out in Australia.
Lakes Oil wishes to emphasize that the report's references to these potential gas flows are based on a large number of assumptions, are subject to a large number of risks and there is a large degree of uncertainty associated with them. The potential gas flows should not be assumed to represent future reserves, which will depend on a variety of factors including the need to confirm their existence and characteristics and the ability to extract them in a commercial and cost effective manner.
By the same token, we remain confident of our tight gas project, we are continuing to consider the content and implications of the report, and are most encouraged by the Sinopec and USA interest. Both USA and China appear well ahead of Australia in relation to production of tight gas reservoirs.

Wall Street rallied for a second session Thursday as investors brushed aside mixed signals on inflation a day after the Federal Reserve said it was concerned about rising prices. While manufacturing activity slowed in May, high energy and materials costs drove a sharp uptick in prices paid and fueled fears that the Fed could continue lifting interest rates to contain inflation. But a downward revision to growth in first-quarter wage costs suggested prices were more subdued.
The U.S. economy appears to be shifting into a lower gear with residential construction falling sharply and manufacturing activity slowing. Residential Home Building Dropped by 1.1 Percent in April; Manufacturing Index Dipped to 54.4 in May
Oil prices fell further on data showing increased domestic reserves.
Gold futures closed above their worst levels Thursday, but still ended the session at a six-week low with traders using strength in the U.S. dollar as an excuse to continue to lock in recent gains.
July silver closed down 55 cents at $11.905 an ounce, falling below the $12 an ounce level for the first time since May 22.
Other metals prices also recovered from their worst levels, with July copper closing down 15.3 cents at $3.471 a pound after earlier being suspended limit down and hitting a one-month low of $3.34 a pound.
The Australian dollar fell to its lowest in a month as prices of metals plunged, worsening the outlook for the nation's export earnings.

UPDATE ON CURRENT PROJECTS
Lakes Oil N.L. (ASX listing code "LKO") wishes to advise the status of our current projects:
Eagle North-1 well California USA
In order to reduce the costs and to carry out the testing of this well in a more efficient manner a completion rig and coiled tubing unit have been secured. This has enabled the operator to release the more costly large drilling rig which has been on site for several months.
Although the cost of this well has "blown out" significantly the operator is hopeful that flow rates of up to 1,000 barrels of oil per day can be achieved. Lakes Oil holds 15% interest in this well and with the oil price currently at approximately $70 a barrel we would re-coup our cost reasonably quickly if the well should flow as anticipated. Current timing for re-entry and testing of the well is expected in the next 10-14 days.
Sinopec Status
As previously reported to the ASX on 5 May 2006 Lakes has signed a conditional agreement 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 all Lakes Oil's permits and if it is implemented would see Sinopec becoming our joint venture partner and taking over the operatorship.
Lakes Oil has been advised that Sinopec is currently doing its due diligence in Beijing and continues to be keen to proceed with this project. Lakes Oil has also had discussions with several potential partners in the USA which are progressing.
Tight Gas Project
A recent report carried out by an independent organisation in the USA has indicated that the Wombat Field could hold up to 536BCF of gas in place and the Gangell Field 375BCF of gas in place. A conditional figure of between 32 BCF and 559 BCF of gas in place has been given for Trifon. (The large variance for the Trifon structure is dependant on the depth of the lowest recorded gas flow and this well still has zones which are yet to be fracture stimulated).
The report has indicated that based on the Wombat-2 well together with American experience the Wombat field developed on 40 acre spacing, could yield gas with a recovery factor of 50%.
Possibly the most interesting section of the report relates to the Wombat-2 well potential. In the past, 70,000 pounds of fracture proppant pellets were injected into the formation and induced fracture length of approximately 86 feet was achieved yielding the current 680,000 cubic feet of gas per day production rate. The report suggests that should a much larger amount of proppant be injected, resulting in fracture lengths of up to 600 feet from the wellbore to the tip, initial flow rates could be several times as great as our current flow. Current technology in the USA has some hydraulic fracture treatments carried out with over one million pounds of proppant injected, considerably larger than is currently carried out in Australia.
Lakes Oil wishes to emphasize that the report's references to these potential gas flows are based on a large number of assumptions, are subject to a large number of risks and there is a large degree of uncertainty associated with them. The potential gas flows should not be assumed to represent future reserves, which will depend on a variety of factors including the need to confirm their existence and characteristics and the ability to extract them in a commercial and cost effective manner.
By the same token, we remain confident of our tight gas project, we are continuing to consider the content and implications of the report, and are most encouraged by the Sinopec and USA interest. Both USA and China appear well ahead of Australia in relation to production of tight gas reservoirs.

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.

FARMINEES TO FUND UP TO $47 MILLION IN FORWARD EXPLORATION PROGRAM.
Following announcements over the past few days of four significant farmin agreements, Great Artesian Oil and Gas Limited (ASX Code : GOG) has now finalized its forward exploration program. For the remainder of this calendar year the program will see Great Artesian participate in the drilling of 9 wells, 8 exploration and 1 appraisal, and acquisition of over 500 sq km of 3D seismic data, centred on its cornerstone South Australian Cooper Basin permits (PELs 91, 106 and 107). In addition a 1,325 km 2D seismic program is planned for mid year in Great Artesian's offshore Otway permit EPP 27 - where the Oilex operated Joint Venture, involving Gujarat State Petroleum and Videocom, will use this seismic to locate the site for a proposed 2007 exploration well.
Total farminee expenditure for the 2006 portion of the exploration program will be of the order of $24 million, of which Great Artesian will have approximately $10.5 million in free carry.
Strong farmin demand will also see third party commitments carry over into 2007, when a minimum of 4, and possibly up to 6.5, wells - including one offshore well, will be funded by farminees. The 2007 portion of the program currently involves an expenditure of up to $23 million, of which Great Artesian will have a free carry of approximately $9.5 million. Total 2006 and 2007 expenditure could total $47 million. - Web Site

Paulsens continues to perform
On the first anniversary of the inaugural gold pour at Paulsens, NuStar is poised to deliver its fourth successive quarter of production growth and cost reduction.
Based on results for the months of April and May 2006, gold production for the June quarter is forecast to exceed 21,000 ounces with mine site cash costs of A$340 - A$350 (approximately US$260) per ounce.
Over two tonnes of gold was poured in the first year of operations at Paulsens.
A diamond drilling programme (22 holes - 9,100 metres) aimed at extending the Paulsens mining reserve below its current base at 300 metres depth commences this month. The programme is expected to take ten weeks to complete.
This week Intrepid Minerals Corporation announced that Institutional Shareholder Services, Canada’s leading independent authority on proxy voting and corporate governance, recommended shareholders vote in favour of the company's proposed merger with NuStar.
Intrepid shareholders will meet in Toronto on 7 June 2006 to vote on the proposed merger, whilst NuStar shareholders are scheduled to meet in Perth on 26 June 2006.- Web Site

Wall Street closed out an uneasy May with a solid advance Wednesday, even after minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting indicated that inflation pressures raised the chance of another interest rate hike in June. The major indexes ended the month broadly lower.
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.
