WALL STREET
Stocks climb on home sales; Dow posts 8th straight weekly gain for first time since 2004
Stocks climbed again Friday after a strong report on new home sales offset mixed news from corporate earnings reports. The Commerce Department said sales of new homes jumped 27 percent in March, bouncing off a record low in February.
Investors were also keeping a cautious eye fixed on Greece's ongoing debt problems after the country decided to tap a bailout program.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed the day higher for the 11th time in the past 12 trading days. Friday's 70-point gain wrapped up the index's eighth straight weekly rise, which matches its longest string of gains since a two-month stretch that ended in January 2004.
Five stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 5.4 billion shares, versus 6 billion shares Thursday.
Volume has been low during the stretch, which analysts say is proof that investors are not fully confident that the gains are built on a solid foundations.
For the week, the Dow Jones industrial average closed up 185.62, or 1.7 percent, at 11,204.28. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 25.15, or 2.1 percent, to 1,217.28. The Nasdaq composite index is up 48.89, or 2 percent, at 2,530.15. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks the performance of small company stocks, rose 27.30, or 3.8 percent, to 741.92.
Oil prices jumped Friday after upbeat home sales data helped to ease concerns about increased supply and weak demand. Crude oil for June delivery jumped $1.42 cents, or 1.7%, to settle at $85.12 a barrel.
Copper overcame earlier selling pressures to close higher on Friday, as the US dollar slipped against the euro and risk appetite returned after surprisingly strong housing data in the United States underscored recovery optimism. Holding back momentum however, is a fear that China, the world's top consumer of base metals, may be oversupplied with copper after imports of the metal in March jumped more than 50 percent to 337,125 tonnes.
Base metals traders have been focusing on dominant positions within the smaller LME metal markets, especially nickel.
Analysts say a dominant position of all short positions in nickel due this month, may be behind nickel's gains of around 7 percent this month and is likely to lend further support to prices in the coming days.
New York spot gold prices have reversed earlier losses as debt-laden Greece gets ready to formally request a rescue package from the European Union. Spot gold prices jumped $16.20 to $1,157.50 an ounce.
In Europe, stock indexes rose after Greek officials said they would tap a rescue package from the 15 other countries that use the euro and the International Monetary Fund. The move gives Greece better interest rates on its debt than it would be able to get from private investors.

CALLABONNA URANIUM (CUU)
New Application secures the Dagworth Uranium Prospect, North Queensland - Highlights
- The Queensland Government confirms Callabonna's uncontested application over the Dagworth Uranium Prospect (EPMA 18625 – 'Dagworth').
- The Dagworth Uranium Prospect was highlighted during open file review by Callabonna Uranium on its adjacent Neptune exploration permit. Diligent monitoring of the tenement situation has enabled Callabonna to secure the entire Dagworth Uranium Prospect with this new application.
- Uranium mineralisation at Dagworth was discovered in the 1970s by Minatome who drilled 89 holes in the area with over 50% intersecting zones of greater than 300 ppm uranium.
- Uranium mineralisation occurs in reverse faults where they cut the basal sequences of the Newcastle Range Volcanics and along low angle bedding parallel faults which have breccia and hydrothermal alteration developed within them.
- The mineralisation at Dagworth and at the Trident Deposit to the south demonstrates the potential for economic uranium mineralisation within Callabonna’s exploration permits (EPMA 18625 & 18028), covering this same structural corridor.
- There is also significant potential for gold mineralisation within this system which remains completely untested to date. - Web Site

Quarterly Report for March 2010
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER
- Receipt of the final processing of the Mollichuta 3D Seismic Survey. Preliminary interpretation of the data indicates at least 25 drilling targets in and around the Growler and Snatcher Fields. On the basis of this exciting data, work is underway to secure two drilling rigs for a program of up to 10 wells during the second half of 2010.
- The Company undertook a successful capital raising through a combination Share Purchase Plan and Placement that raised $4.2 million (after costs) and boosted cash on hand to $11.2 million at the end of the quarter.
- Joint Venture Operator (Victoria Petroleum) announces an upgrade of their gross 3P oil reserves for the Growler Field to 5.8 mmbl taking total current 3P gross reserves for the Growler and Snatcher Fields to 7.3 mmbl (2.9 mmbl to Impress).
- A once in twenty year flooding event has severely disrupted production and drilling operations deferring these activities until the latter part of 2010. The Joint Venture Operator has taken appropriate steps to protect the field assets and the environment and reduce operating costs during the flood.
- Joint Venture Operator announces plans to recommence full production in the third quarter of 2010 at a new record level of 1,600 BOPD (640 BOPD to Impress). - Web Site

CORPORATE
Issue of Shares and Debt reduction
During the quarter, shareholders approved a consolidation of share capital on a 1 for 50 basis at the EGM on 4 February 2010. Following the completion of the capital consolidation, the number of ordinary shares on issue was reduced to 144,103,118.
During the quarter and post capital consolidation, the Company issued a total of 15 million new shares raising a total of $1.35 million for working capital and debt reduction. Since the GFC (October 2008), the Company has successfully reduced Group Company debt by $13 million and a further $5 million in debt reduction is planned for H1 2010.
Float of the low carbon cement business
The 2010 Plan was to raise $10 million pre-IPO monies in Ecominerals Limited in two tranches of $5 million each with an envisaged float of this entity in H2 2010. The first $5 million was anticipated to be completed this quarter. However, the dispute with our prior Australian technology provider induced us to work with our new partners, (DDW in Shanghai), to develop what we believe is superior hybrid technology. The significant commercial advantage of this newly developed technology is that it is now owned in house, albeit it includes merged commercialized co-technology from DDW for which we pay a 5% royalty. This change of direction has a very significant positive impact on our future business valuation but until the Intellectual Property registrations are completed we are unable to conclude Due Diligence with our London brokers and therefore this new funding programme has been delayed to next quarter.
OPERATIONS
During the quarter, the Company has organized a production run to produce bulk samples of Shanghai manufactured low carbon cement products. Our technical team will be in Shanghai next week to coordinate this operation. This production will be at its JV plant in Shanghai as announced on 15 March 2010. During the quarter, Ziltek (a MSC Group customer) has exercised its option to activate its supply agreement and to commence commercialization of a range of Kaocem™ low carbon cement products in the very large remediation and hazardous waste markets.
The Company is pleased to report that substantial progress on new business development in China has been achieved during the quarter as partly evidenced by the signing of MOU on Joint Venture operation in Central China and also distribution agreement in Guangzhou Province. - Web Site

Drilling Report (Korka-1, Al Meashar-1). 22 April 2010
Korka 1, PNG
Oil Search reports that the Korka 1 well in PNG commenced drilling on 18 April. As at 06:00 PNG time on 22 April, Korka 1 was at a depth of 439 metres and drilling ahead in 17 ½” hole. The 18 ⅝” surface conductor was set during March at a depth of 65 metres and progress for the week was 374 metres. The forward plan is to set 13 3/8” casing and drill ahead in 12 ¼” hole.
Korka 1 is located in PPL 260, approximately 50 kilometres north west of the Hides and Angore gas fields. The well is targeting gas in the Toro and Giero sandstones in a seismically defined hanging wall anticline. The mean success case volume is 1.3 tcf of recoverable gas.
The well has a planned total depth of approximately 3,000 metres.
Al Meashar-1, Block 7, Yemen
Oil Search reports that as at 06:00 Yemen time on 21 April (-7 hrs AEST) fishing operations were in progress on the Al Meashar-1 well to recover bottom hole assembly stuck in-hole since the completion of the second drill stem test. The forward plan for the well is currently under review.

PANAX GEOTHERMAL
Short Flow Test Results of Salamander-1
Well Panax Geothermal Ltd (“Panax”) advises that results of the recently completed short term clean-up flow indicate that the Salamander-1 well requires further clean-up before the long term flow or well productivity test can be undertaken. This second clean-up has been scheduled to be carried out in the week starting 10 May, 2010.
As a consequence of the above, the long term flow or productivity test, which is designed to convert part of the established “Measured Geothermal Resources” into “Geothermal Reserves” (see attached diagram), is now rescheduled to take place in June, 2010. The costs of this additional clean-up flow can easily be accommodated from current cash reserves. - Web Site

First Quarter Report
Production volumes down 5% compared to Q4 2009
- Production volumes were down by 5% compared to the previous quarter and down 7% relative to the comparable quarter in 2009 as a result of a 46 day planned maintenance outage at Stybarrow, the sale of our Otway assets prior to the end of the reporting period, and natural decline in oil production from the Stybarrow, Enfield, and Neptune assets. This was partially offset by record quarterly LNG production from the North West Shelf Venture.
Sales revenues down 10% compared to Q4 2009
- The reduction in sales revenue compared to the previous quarter reflects the decrease in sales volumes attributed to a 46 day planned maintenance outage at Stybarrow, the sale of our Otway assets prior to the end of the reporting period, and natural decline in oil production from the Stybarrow, Enfield, and Neptune assets.
- Compared to the corresponding period in 2009, sales revenue was up 43% largely as a result of improved commodity prices.
Activities
- Pluto – LNG 1 on schedule and final cost remains as previously advised on 20 November 2009.
- Pluto expansion – Work continues on schedule for Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) on Train 2 and Train 3. The exploration drilling campaign to support Pluto expansion continues to have success with gas found at Noblige and Larsen during the quarter.
- Browse – The Joint Venture selected the Browse LNG Precinct at James Price Point, 60km north of Broome, as the location to process gas from the Venture’s Browse Basin gas fields, satisfying a major condition of the Browse retention leases. In addition the Browse LNG development moved into the Basis of Design phase with the award of contracts for the onshore and offshore components of the development.
- Sunrise – The Joint Venture is completing its final diligence in support of concept selection for the development of the Greater Sunrise fields.
- North Rankin Redevelopment project – Work continues on schedule and budget.
- North West Shelf Oil FPSO Replacement Project – Work continues on schedule and budget. Subseainfrastructure replacement is on target to commence in Q4 2010 and FPSO startup by end Q1 2011. - Web Site

CARNARVON PETROLEUM (CVN)
New Permit and Phoenix Update
New Permit Award
Carnarvon Petroleum Limited (“Carnarvon”) (ASX: CVN) is pleased to announce that it has been successful in its bid for 100% of a new permit gazetted by the Australian government, WA-443-P, offshore Western Australia. This new exploration permit is situated adjacent to Carnarvon’s four existing permits WA-435-P, WA-436-P, WA-437-P and WA-438-P in which it holds a 50% interest, referred to as the Phoenix permits, within the Bedout Sub-Basin.
The Bedout Sub-Basin is situated to the north of the Carnarvon Basin. Exploration drilling over this area totals six wells drilled in two main phases in the early 1970’s and early 1980’s and a more recent seventh well drilled by Apache Energy in 1995. Drilling resulted in the discovery of significant gas intersections averaging approximately 700 metres in two wells. Carnarvon now has a spread of five permits in this highly prospective basin covering a large area of 28,300 km2 with large participating interests and with low work commitments.
Update - Phoenix Permits WA-435, 436, 437 & 438-P (Carnarvon 50%)
Three wells have been drilled to date in WA-435-P. Minilya-1 (drilled by BOC in 1974) encountered good reservoir sandstones but was drilled outside of closure (based on later seismic data) and encountered no hydrocarbon accumulations. The next well, Phoenix-1, drilled by BP in 1980 to a total depth of 4,880 metres, encountered a 767 metre gross gas section in Middle Triassic low-porosity reservoirs (up to a possible 110 metre net gas-bearing sandstone reservoir). Due to inadequate pressure control equipment the well was not tested. The follow-up well Phoenix-2, drilled by BP in 1982, was drilled to the northeast of Phoenix-1 and encountered a gross 678 metres of gas-bearing section in lower porosity Middle Triassic reservoirs. The well was not tested. The poor gas market and low gas prices at the time resulted in no further appraisal work being carried out in the area.
The presence of gas columns in Phoenix-1 and Phoenix-2 indicate that there is an active Triassic petroleum system in the area which is encouraging for further work. Water depth is shallow, being approximately 100 metres deep at the Phoenix wells. The permits are located close to the coast being approximately 150 kilometres from the gas pipeline at Port Hedland making commerciality of a significant gas discovery possible.
Carnarvon has identified eight large leads and prospects with multi-Tcf potential of recoverable gas. The gas discovered in Phoenix-1 and -2 wells was never tested so it is unknown whether commercial flow rates can be obtained in that part of the permit. However, from regional well data (e.g., in Keraudren-1) reservoir quality is known to improve to the south of the Phoenix wells.

WALL STREET
Stocks recover after Obama speech on financial reform; upbeat home sales report lifts builders
The stock market recovered from early losses and closed modestly higher Thursday after President Barack Obama's speech on financial reform contained no unpleasant surprises.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 9 points after being down about 108. Broader indexes also turned higher.
The market fell sharply early in the day as Greece's debt problems worsened and on fears that Obama would advocate tough restrictions on banks. When he didn't, stocks recovered.
Prices also got a boost from a jump in sales of existing homes last month.
In a speech in New York, Obama said the economy is recovering quickly but the progress needs to be felt more deeply among the millions of unemployed Americans. He has blamed Wall Street for helping push the country into recession. Obama gave a speech in support of his efforts to pass legislation that would overhaul financial markets.
The Labor Department reported that the number of people applying for unemployment benefits dipped to 456,000 last week, after rising unexpectedly the past couple of weeks. The drop was about in line with expectations.
Two stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 6 billion shares compared with 5.7 billion Wednesday.
The Euro currency hit a fresh 12-month low against the U.S. dollar Thursday as market talk centered on Greece's debt problems and the possibility a debt contagion could spread to the rest of the European Union or even the rest of the world.
Crude for June delivery inched 2 cents higher to settle at $83.70 a barrel. Prices fell to as low as $82.60 during Thursday trading.
A blazing oil rig has sunk into the Gulf of Mexico, sparking fears of an environmental disaster two days after a massive blast that left 11 workers missing. US maritime authorities said crude oil was pouring into the sea at the site where the hulking Deepwater Horizon rig once stood, although they were unable to determine at what rate.
China's copper imports rose for a second month in March as seasonal demand led to increased orders. Shipments of refined copper were 337,125 tons last month, the customs said on Wednesday. That's 53 percent more than February and 14 percent more than in the same period of 2009, according to calculations by Bloomberg.
Precious metals prices saw modest selling pressure Thursday on some profit-taking and on keener risk aversion. June Comex gold closed down $5.90 an ounce at $1,142.90. The gold market did close up from the daily low and near mid-range. Greece, the International Monetary Fund and the European Union's efforts to deal with very burdensome Greek sovereign debt are again a main issue for precious metals traders.

DEVELOPMENT
SYAMA
• Review on alternative paths completed for the expansion of the Syama Gold operations (Syama Oxide Gold Project) by processing free milling resources.
• Feasibility study continued on the Tabakoroni deposit with technical and environmental and social impact study reports completed and being reviewed by joint venture parties.
MT WRIGHT
• Further strong results from resource infill drilling below the current production levels including 19m @ 5.9g/t Au, 21m @ 5.1g/t Au and 13m @ 8.6/t Au.
EXPLORATION
Exploration drilling continued in Mali and recommenced in Queensland while regional soil sampling and target definition work continued in Tanzania and Cote d’Ivoire.
In Queensland,
• First pass exploratory diamond drilling has returned exceptional intercepts including 18m @ 3.9g/t Au from 215m, 19m @ 4.5g/t Au from 359m and 113m @ 7.7g/t Au from 316m including 19m @ 31.3g/t Au from 401m at the Welcome Breccia prospect in Queensland. Results indicate that ore width and gold grade is increasing with depth.
Additional deep diamond drilling is planned to test the down plunge extent of this gold mineralisation.
In Mali,
• Reverse circulation drilling at Tellem returned significant intercepts including 8m @ 6.5g/t Au from 80m, while aircore drilling in the prospect’s south produced intercepts of 12m @ 8.1g/t Au from 68m and 12m @ 2.5g/t Au from 32m.
• Wide spaced aircore drilling across the Paysans trend returned numerous significant intercepts including 11m @ 3.2g/t Au from 21m, 10m @ 1.5g/t Au from 12m and 5m @ 2.7g/t Au from 50m. An additional sub-parallel zone of mineralisation has been identified to the east of the Paysans structure. Infill aircore drilling is planned.
• Wide spaced aircore drilling in the Senufo-Salikou area returned intercepts of 20m @ 1.3g/t Au from 20m, 4m @ 3.0g/t Au from 68m and 4m @ 3.8g/t Au from 28m. Infill aircore drilling and follow-up reverse circulation drilling is planned.
In Tanzania,
• Three coherent soil anomalies of up to 600m long and 200m wide have been identified at the Usenge prospect and on the Golden Pride – Bulangamilwa shear at Milwa West. Aircore drilling to test all three anomalies is planned shortly.
• A new Joint Venture agreement covering the Golden Pride West tenure was signed with Barrick East Africa Limited (Tanzania). This agreement allows Resolute to earn 70% by spending US$1 million within a 3 year period.
In Cote d’Ivoire,
• Results of broad spaced 1kmX1km soil samples collected across granted tenements in Cote d’Ivoire included values up to 1.01g/t Au and has outlined ten large gold and multi-element anomalies. Infill sampling will occur during the next quarter.
CORPORATE
• Group cash and bullion at the end of the quarter was A$16m (A$39m).(refer adjustment note)
• Gross cash inflow from operations for the quarter was A$13m (A$28m inflow).(refer adjustment note)

GOLDSEARCH (GSE)
Musgrave Block - agreement with MTH and IGO
Goldsearch Limited has today entered into a heads of agreement with Mithril Resources Limited (MTH) and Independence Group NL (IGO) to form a new company, Musgrave Minerals Limited, to acquire and explore their combined interests in the Musgrave Block region of South Australia with the exploration to be financed by an initial public offering (IPO) of Musgrave Minerals Limited.
In the absence of this agreement the Company was unlikely to be in a position to provide the level of exploration funding required to fully explore the tenements within the Musgrave Block joint venture. The heads of agreement provide the best opportunity for further substantial exploration to be undertaken on the Company’s Musgrave tenements and potentially add substantial value to the Company.
Formation of Musgrave Minerals Limited and IPO - KEY POINTS
- Goldsearch, Mithril Resources Limited (ASX: MTH) and Independence Group NL (ASX: IGO) have agreed to join forces to accelerate exploration in the highly prospective Musgrave region of South Australia by agreeing to form Musgrave Minerals Limited.
- On Thursday, 22 April 2010 Goldsearch, Mithril and Independence entered a binding heads of agreement to form Musgrave Minerals Limited.
- Initial interests in Musgrave Minerals will be Mithril 40%, Independence 30.6% and Goldsearch 29.4% and each company will be represented on the Board.
- Each company will assign their respective tenements in the Musgrave region to Musgrave Minerals.
- Musgrave Minerals will be a dedicated mineral explorer in the Musgrave Region of South Australia with exploration interests covering more than 50,000 square kilometres in this under-explored terrain.
- Musgrave Minerals will conduct an initial public offering (IPO) of shares to raise $10 million and will seek admission to the official list of the ASX and quotation of its shares.- Web Site

ATLANTIC GOLD (ATV)
DRILLING RESULTS FROM TOUQUOY WEST, NOVA SCOTIA
All assay results have been received from a 14-hole NQ diamond drilling program undertaken at Touquoy West, about 2 km west of the Touquoy Gold Deposit, to follow-up encouraging reconnaissance ‘interface’ drill results as previously reported. These results highlighted a sedimentary unit, the Stillwater Argillite, as being particularly prospective. Hole locations are shown on the accompanying plans.
Best result is 1.1 g/t over 9 m from 23 m depth in hole MR-10-144. While indicative alteration and narrow gold-anomalous intervals (<1 g/t over <5 m) were returned from the Stillwater Argillite in most holes, results are less than expected. It is noted that poor core recovery – up to 60% – was experienced in the upper 40-50 m in most holes as a result of the unusually highly cleaved nature of the host sediments. HQ triple-tube diamond drilling, or preferably reverse circulation drilling, is considered necessary to overcome this problem. It is also noted that holes MR-10-137 to 139 did not intersect mineralisation directly correlable with the strong argillite-hosted mineralisation in interface hole MRG2515 – 5.05 g/t over 4 m from 3 m depth – which these holes were drilled to address. The diamond drilling has since shown that the overburden is about 7 m deep in this locale and that this mineralisation is therefore within the overburden, having been derived “up-ice” to the north from Higgins & Lawlor, or from another source. - Web Site

OMAHOLA PROJECT INITIAL JORC RESOURCE ESTABLISHED AT 18.9 MILLION LBS U3O8 WITH MORE ON THE NAMIBIAN HORIZON
- Initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Omahola Project in Namibia established at 8,583 tonnes (18.9 Mlbs) uranium oxide (U3O8) in accordance with JORC Code
- Omahola Project consists of INCA and Tubas Red Sand deposits
- The INCA deposit is higher grade at 400 ppm eU3O8 and contains substantial quantities of magnetite which may be viable as a by-product
- The Tubas Red Sand deposit is lower grade at 160 ppm eU3O8, but is located below only 1-2 metres of cover and is amenable to upgrading by attrition scrubbing and screening

ICON ENERGY
Chairman`s Address
It is with pleasure that I present to you the Annual Report of Icon Energy Limited and its subsidiary companies. The year to 31 December 2009 saw the company move from a small prospective gas and oil company to a high potential player focussed on the coal seam gas industry with the growth potential our shareholders demand.
January 2009 was a significant milestone with the signing of a gas sale agreement and a farmin agreement with the Stanwell Corporation. That strategic relationship provided the company with the two ingredients necessary for the company to move forward in the commercialisation of our resources in the Lydia Area of ATP 626P – a gas sale agreement to justify the production of coal seam gas and funding for the pilot wells.
2009 also saw the upgrade of our resource estimates in ATP 626 from 2C Contingent Gas Resource at 260BCF and 2C Gas Initially In Place (GIIP) to 6115 PJ (BCF) GIIP with 1775 PJ (3C) and 1115PJ (2C).
The Company was also able to grow its operational staff to undertake our drilling program in ATP626P. Our expectation is that the company will need to add additional staff as we move into an aggressive reserves certification program both within the Lydia Area and in the 100% owned area in ATP 626P.
We also used the expertise of our farmin partners to explore the potential of PEL 218 located in the South Australian portion of the Cooper Basin. .... - Web Site

First Gold Pour at Both Bronzewing and Leonora Projects
Navigator Resources (“Navigator”) (ASX: NAV) is pleased to announce that the Company is now a gold producer with the pouring of the first gold bars at both its Bronzewing and Leonora Gold Projects having occurred on the same day, namely yesterday, Wednesday 21st April 2010.
NAV Managing Director Mr David Hatch said today, ”I would like to thank all of our employees and contractors whose hard work and dedication have taken the Bronzewing operation from acquisition to gold production in less than 7 months – and whose collective efforts have also successfully instigated the trial mining initiative at Leonora, the result of five years successful exploration at the project.
In the case of Bronzewing, it should not be understated that NAV only acquired the project on 30 September last year and has managed to transform the operation from mothballs to a gold producer today. At Leonora, NAV shareholders can now begin to see the benefits of the staged exploration program at the project since its acquisition in September 2004. - Web Site

QUARTERLY EXPLORATION REPORT FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 March 2010 - Highlights
- At a General Meeting held on 22 February 2010 (GM), the shareholders of EPR voted in favour of the terms of the agreement with Beach and Mitsui to restructure and recapitalise the Company.
- As a result of the GM the Company now has an opportunity to enter its next phase largely unencumbered, under a new Board of directors, a new strategy and the support of its major shareholders.
- Implementation of the agreement has realised the following outcomes:
- EPR’s debt of approximately $14 million to Beach has been discharged as follows:
- $2,750,000 as consideration for 50% of onshore permit PEP 168;
- $1.00 as consideration for 51% equity in EPR; and
- the balance of the debt to be forgiven by Beach
- Interim funds loaned to EPR by Beach to cover EPR’s current operations will be discharged for equity in EPR at a rate of 2.0332 cents per share.
- Beach has nominated 3 directors, Messrs Robert Kennedy, Chairman of Beach Energy, Hector Gordon, Executive Director/CEO of Beach and Peter Mullins, former senior executive of the Commonwealth Bank, for election to the Board at this Annual General Meeting.
- Subject to the nominated directors being appointed, the existing directors resignations submitted under terms of the Implementation Agreement with Beach will become effective at conclusion of the AGM.
- Mitsui will forgive EPR’s debt to Mitsui of approximately $7 million in return for a payment of approximately $698,000 from a future capital raising.
- EPR’s indebtedness to its other creditors has been settled on terms consistent with those negotiated with Beach and Mitsui.

WALL STREET
The stock market stalled Wednesday after the glow of strong results at Apple Inc. and a few other companies faded.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 8 points, while broader indexes were mixed.
Technology and industrial shares drew buyers after Apple Inc. and Boeing Co. delivered results that topped expectations. Health care stocks lagged on concerns that new health care laws will hurt the industry's profits. Financial stocks also fell after traders speculated on the fallout from a potential overhaul of government regulations.
The good news on earnings wasn't enough to give the market much of a lift. Some selling could come Thursday after a profit forecast from eBay Inc. disappointed investors after the closing bell. Shares of the online auction company fell 8 percent in after-hours electronic trading.
About three stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 5.7 billion shares, compared with 5.3 billion Tuesday.
An explosion rocked an offshore oil drilling platform - the rig, more than 50 miles southeast of Venice on Louisiana's tip, was still burning at midday Wednesday.
Oil prices eased amid choppy trading on Wednesday after the government's inventory report dimmed trader hopes that demand is finally rebounding. Crude for June delivery dipped 17 cents to settle at $83.68 a barrel.
Copper prices rose in New York, erasing earlier losses.
Comex gold futures closed higher and nearer the session high Wednesday as fresh speculative buying interest entered the market after the recent dip in prices. June Comex gold closed up $9.60 an ounce at $1,148.80.
Palladium futures hit a two-year high, with China and speculative investors still scrambling for the metal amid expectations for continued gains.

Red Metal in New Potash Initiative
Red Metal has applied for 21 potash prospecting permits covering a total of 166 square kilometres of the potash-rich Paradox Basin, in Colorado, USA. The decision to secure this large acreage follows the completion of a detailed study commissioned for the Company by the leading international potash consultants, Agapito Associates Inc. The study identified multiple potash-rich horizons within the application area and concluded that there was high potential for defining economically significant potash resources. The study predicts the likely presence of potash strata that could be amenable to extraction using standard solution mining methods. Bas ed on this the Company is targeting economic resources capable of producing between 200,000 and 2 million tonnes of potash per year. - Web Site

Frances Dilworth 3H Horizontal Drilling Operations Concluded
Antares is excited to announce horizontal drilling operations have concluded at the Frances Dilworth No.
3H as the Nabors M34 drilling rig has achieved a total measured depth of 15,735 ft of which over 4,650
feet were within the oil filled Eagle Ford shale. The lateral length of 4,650 ft represents a 16.25%
increase over the previous guidance of 4,000 ft given on April 7th.
Throughout horizontal drilling operations, the quality of the oil & gas mudlogging ‘shows’ were greater
than that of the Frances Dilworth No. 2H. The amount and type of fluorescence as well as the constituents
of the measured hydrocarbon samples captured, reaffirm the expectation that all remaining wells to be
drilled in Antares’ current Eagle Ford shale acreage position are likely to be oil wells, greatly improving
the economics over the dry gas portion of the play. - Web Site

March 2010 Quarterly Report - Key Points
- Quarterly gold production of 17,747 oz
- Positive mine operating cashflow of $5 million
- Henty Tyndall infill results include 11.4 m at 15.4 g/t gold
- Cash in bank increased to $57.4 million Limited
Summary
Rod Hanson, Managing Director & CEO comment: “Gold production for the
quarter of 17,747 oz delivered $5.0 million in operating cashflow, increasing our
cash balance to over $57 million, despite lower grades at the Henty Gold Mine.
We have increased capital investment at Henty to support near-term
productivity and grade improvements. Positive results from infill drilling in the
Tyndall Zone at Henty, which is planned to be a major ore source, and the
continuing good news from Henty exploration bodes well for the future.
“At Kangaroo Flat we are testing exploration targets near our mine workings.
Once these have been tested, the exploration strategy is likely to evolve into a
more field-wide approach” said Mr Hanson.

WALL STREET
Stocks resumed their advance after investors got the numbers they wanted from first-quarter earnings reports.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 25 points Tuesday for its eighth gain in nine days. Broader indexes posted bigger percentage increases after a mixed finish Monday.
Investors set aside some concerns about the government's civil fraud case against Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and looked to profit numbers. Goldman Sachs said its first-quarter profit nearly doubled on higher trading revenue. However, the stock fell 2 percent on concerns about the company's legal troubles.
Beyond those reports, a bounce in the price of crude oil after a two-week slide helped energy stocks.
Four stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 5.3 billion shares, compared with 6.6 billion Monday.
After the closing bell, Apple Inc. said its first-quarter profit jumped 90 percent after it sold more of its iPhone smart phones. The stock rose about 6 percent in electronic trading after ending the regular session lower.
Oil prices rose Tuesday for the first time in three days as strong corporate earnings reports dampened worries over the Goldman fraud case.
Copper rose from a three-week low on renewed confidence that the economic recovery will lift demand for metals.
Traders once again stepped in to "buy the dip" and do some bargain hunting in Comex gold futures on Tuesday. June Comex gold closed up $3.40 an ounce at $1,139.20. The gold market was also supported by higher crude oil prices and an easing of investor worries regarding the SEC fraud charges against Goldman Sachs. That, in turn, increased investor risk appetite and supported fresh buying interest in gold.

Beach accelerates Cooper Basin shale gas program
Beach Energy reports that it plans to accelerate its shale gas exploration drilling program in the Cooper Basin, northeast South Australia.
The Holdfast-1 well, which is expected to spud in July in the PEL 218 tenement, will now, be immediately followed by a second well, to be located approximately 20 km to the south-east within the same tenement. These wells will be the first wells drilled in eastern Australia with shale gas as their sole objective.
Beach Energy's General Manager-Exploration & Development, Mr Neil Gibbins, said "The Holdfast wells will be located in the central Nappamerri Trough, which is one of the very few areas in Australia where thick, overpressured, organically rich shales are present at a depth which could make them economically attractive for the production of shale gas." - Web Site

The NZ$50 million underwritten equity raising will comprise a NZ$10 million placement of shares and a NZ$40 million renounceable pro rata rights issue to shareholders and option holders. New Zealand Oil & Gas Ltd (NZOG) will participate in the placement and rights issue.
The equity raising is part of a funding package agreed between NZOG and Pike which was announced on 24 February 2010. The funding package includes:
a. Pike to undertake an equity issue to raise NZ$50 million, with NZOG to subscribe to the extent of its existing 29.5% equity interest in Pike.
b. NZOG to provide a new convertible bond facility for US$28.9 million with an interest rate of 10%, to fund the redemption of a convertible bond currently held by Liberty Harbor, LLC.
c. Pike to grant an option to NZOG (the Coal Contract Option), exercisable at any time until 31 March 2012, to enter into an offtake agreement to purchase Pike coking coal at market prices to be negotiated annually. The maximum volumes which may be purchased under the offtake agreement would be the currently uncontracted coal quantities until 31 March 2013 and up to 30% of annual coal production for the remaining life of mine.
Under the rights issue two new shares in Pike will be offered for every 19 (approximately) Pike shares or options held at the record date , at a subscription price of $0.88 per share.
The placement will be offered to institutional investors, to NZOG and to Pike customer and shareholder, Gujarat NRE Limited. NZOG will participate in the placement and will jointly underwrite the rights issue to the extent of its existing 29.5% equity interest in Pike.

The previously advised fracture stimulation on the Easley #1 has now been re-scheduled to
commence following the conclusion of the Morgan #1 frac later this month.
Rancho Grande #1H
After reaching a Total Depth of 16,957 ft with a horizontal lateral of approximately 5,000 ft,
production casing has now been run and cemented in preparation for a multi-stage fracture
stimulation program which has been scheduled to commence following the conclusion of the Easley
#1 frac during May 2010. As with the other Sugarloaf AMI wells, Rancho Grande #1H will be
cleaned up and produced directly into sales upon conclusion of that operation.

WALL STREET
Stocks finish mixed after financials recover from concerns about Goldman; Dow rises 73 points
The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a gain of 73 points after sliding for much of the day. The advance followed a drop of 126 points Friday after the Securities and Exchange Commission filed civil fraud charges against Goldman Sachs related to mortgage investments.
The Standard & Poor's index also rose, while the Nasdaq composite index fell.
Analysts said reports that the SEC voted 3-2 along party lines to press its case against Goldman Sachs eased some of investors' worries. Investors seemed placated by the fact the vote wasn't unanimous. A rebound in Goldman helped lift financial shares.
Meanwhile, airline stocks fell after most European airports remained closed for a fifth day following the spread of ash from a volcano in Iceland.
The technology-dominated Nasdaq composite index lagged ahead of a report from International Business Machines Corp. The company said after the closing bell that its first-quarter profit rose in part because of higher revenue. The stock slipped in electronic trading.
Falling stocks narrowly outnumbered those that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 6.6 billion shares compared with 8.1 billion Friday.
Oil prices tumbled on Monday for the third straight trading day as investors reacted to the fraud charges against Goldman Sachs and the strength of the dollar.
Copper fell to its weakest level in three weeks on Monday, and all other base metals headed south, as investors scurried away from risky assets after US regulators charged Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs with fraud.
Comex gold futures on Monday closed slightly lower and nearer the session high after hitting a fresh two-week low in early trading. June Comex gold closed down $1.10 an ounce at $1,135.80. The market was pressured Monday by lingering effects of the Friday announcement that the SEC had levied fraud charges against major commodity market player Goldman Sachs.

GIPPSLAND LIMITED
Heemskirk Tin Project Drilling Programme
Gippsland Limited [ASX: "GIP"; FRA: "GIX"] is pleased to provide the attached copy of a Stellar Resources Ltd [ASX: "SRZ"] announcement which refers to forthcoming drilling at the Tasmanian Heemskirk tin deposit, in which Gippsland holds a 40% free-carried interest.
As indicated in the attached, Stellar Resources expects to commence a 600 metre drilling programme at Heemskirk during June 2010. The programme will focus on high grade, near-surface mineralisation at the Queen Hill tin-bearing zone. The drilling programme will underpin work toward updating a JORC Mineral Resource, which the Directors see to be an important step in considering development concepts.
Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, which is subject to a number of conditions precedent, Stellar Resources has the right to increase its Heemskirk ownership from 60% to 70%. The conditions precedent include the requirement that Stellar Resources complete a comprehensive feasibility study including a recommendation that commercial development be undertaken with a view to commence mining operations. The feasibility study must contain all necessary supporting reports and data including detailed geological and metallurgical, financing and marketing studies.
The Directors are encouraged by Stellar Resources' proposed drilling programme on this valuable long standing asset which has the potential to host Australia's largest known tin resource. - Web Site

ARC EXPLORATION
ANOMALOUS SOIL AND ROCK SURFACE RESULTS FROM BIMA PROJECT IN EAST SUMABAWA
Arc Exploration Limited (ASX Code: ARX) is pleased to announce the results of initial surface sampling from the Kowo Prospect on Bima in East Sumbawa. The project is a 24,980 ha General Survey KP license pending conversion to an Exploration IUP tenement under the new mining law.
The project is located about 230 km east of Newmont's Batu Hijau porphyry copper-gold mine on the same segment of the Sunda-Banda magmatic arc. Targets in the tenement are gold-base metal rich intermediate-sulphidation epithermal veins possibly related to a buried porphyry copper-gold deposit.
Grid-based soil sampling at Kowo in the northern part of the KP has outlined anomalous gold, base metal and barium in a 2 km2 window of mineralised volcanic rock that forms a series of low hills surrounded by younger cover.
Results from a 50m x 100m soil sample grid on the northwest side of Kowo have so far defined a coherent gold soil anomaly over an area of 250 m x 500 m underlain by gossanous volcaniclastic rocks containing a stockwork of quartz-chalcedony-sulphide veins.
Fifteen of 33 soil samples collected in this area returned anomalous gold results ranging from 0.048 to 0.511 ppm Au, and averaging 0.154 ppm Au. Selective rock chip samples taken from the stockwork exposed within the soil anomaly returned 0.2 to 1.84 ppm Au in eleven of 31 samples. Silver, copper, lead and barium are also highly anomalous in the soils and rock, returning maximum results of 24 ppm Ag, 138 ppm Cu, 1550 ppm Pb and 1.68% Ba in soil, and 210 ppm Ag, 1580 ppm Cu, 1310 ppm Pb and 13.6% Ba in rock.
These early results are encouraging as they confirm the potential for bulk tonnage gold-silver-base metal sulphide deposits in the project area.
Soil sampling is continuing over the larger southern portion of the Kowo Prospect where the multi-element soil anomaly is open. The soil anomaly is also open to the north and northwest where its source is most likely to be covered by younger volcanic deposits and alluvium. - Web Site

HIGHLIGHTS:
- 10,000 metre RC and diamond core drilling program aimed at expanding existing resources at the Barbara copper-gold deposit as well as testing other high priority targets in proximity now underway;
- Program to extend over approximately six months with regular flow of assay results anticipated commencing in late April;
- Increase in combined Indicated and Inferred resource for Barbara South and North Lodes to 3.1 million tonnes at 1.5% Cu at a 0.5% Cu cut-off containing an estimated 47,000 tonnes of copper incorporating the maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource for the Barbara North Lode of 740,000 tonnes at 1.23% Cu containing 9,100 tonnes of copper;
- Both North and South Lode deposits remain open at depth with multiple targets along strike and in close proximity providing excellent potential for further significant increases in Syndicated’s resource inventory;
- Strategic and highly prospective ground position in the Mount Isa mineral province further enhanced through acquisition of additional tenements;
- Copper-gold, lead-zinc and uranium soil anomalies identified within Dronfield JV, along strike to the south of Kalman Mo-Re-Cu-Au deposit. Follow up planned to further define targets prior to drilling; - Web Site

BPT joins Sundance in Bakken Shale Oil Play North Dakota USA
Beach Energy Limited (Beach), through its wholly owned subsidiary Beach (USA) Inc., has entered into an agreement with Sundance Energy Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Sundance Energy Australia Limited (Sundance) to acquire an approximately 18.5% net revenue interest in lease area Section 25 being part of Sundance’s South Antelope oil prospect in the Bakken shale of North Dakota in the USA.
The drilling of a horizontal well targeting this prospect is scheduled to begin in late May 2010. Following completion of this first well, Beach has the opportunity to further develop its alliance with Sundance by participating in a second horizontal well on an adjacent lease area. The combined gross potential reserves for the two wells is in excess of 1 million barrels of oil.
This strategically focused investment will give Beach first hand experience of the rapidly evolving technology associated with oil and gas production from shale formations.
The cost to Beach of joining the exploration program will be approximately US$1.3 million.

Takeover Offer Update
Indophil Resources NL and Zijin Mining Group Company Limited are pleased to provide the following update in relation to the recommended takeover offer for Indophil by Zijin's wholly owned subsidiary Golden Resource Mining (BVI) Limited.
Indophil and Zijin continue to work together to satisfy remaining offer conditions and to successfully complete the takeover offer for the benefit of all shareholders.
As disclosed in the Zijin Bidder’s Statement (section 7.4), the Implementation Agreement between Indophil and Zijin has a provision allowing either party to terminate that agreement if the offer ends on or after 5pm on 30 April 2010. This provision requires the party wishing to terminate the agreement to give the other party at least 12 days written notice before 30 April 2010 (ie. the termination notice needs to be provided by 18 April 2010). Further, any termination notice served by 18 April 2010 would only be effective if the offer is subject to a bid condition as at 30 April 2010.
Neither Indophil nor Zijin wish to terminate the Implementation Agreement before the expiry of the current 18 April 2010 deadline for the giving of a termination notice. Accordingly, Indophil and Zijin have agreed to vary the terms of the Implementation Agreement dealing with termination of that agreement.
The variation extends the time of potential termination by either party to any time beyond 18 April 2010, whilst retaining the 12 days notice period and the requirement that any such notice only takes effect if the offer is subject to a bid condition following the end of that notice period.
The Zijin offer for Indophil, at A$1.28 per share, remains open until 7pm (Melbourne time) on Friday, 14 May 2010, unless extended. In the absence of a superior proposal, the Indophil Board continues to unanimously recommend the Zijin offer.
