Agreement executed to acquire an additional licence covering 154 km2 of prospective greenstones

Previous drilling intersections include: o 11m @ 8.73 g/t gold o 16m @ 1.35 g/t gold o 10m @ 1.59 g/t gold o 14m @ 1.13 g/t gold

Gold intercepts open along strike and open at depth

Walk-up drill targets exposed by recent artisanal workings Golden Rim Resources Ltd (GMR, Golden Rim) today announced it has finalised an agreement to acquire an additional gold exploration permit (Zanna) in Burkina Faso in West Africa. Golden Rim now has 15 gold exploration permits in Burkina Faso covering an area of over 3,370km2. Craig Mackay, Managing Director of Golden Rim, said “our long term strategy to acquire a large area of highly prospective and under-explored ground in Burkina Faso is continuing to be very successful.” “The Zanna permit is particularly exciting as previous drilling confirms the location of broad zones of gold mineralisation which are open along strike and at depth and which offer immediate walk-up drilling targets” he said. The Zanna permit is located on good access roads only 160km north of Burkina Faso’s capital city, Ouagadougou, and encompasses prospective Birimian greenstone rocks which lie under shallow soil/laterite cover. Six significant sites of artisanal gold mining are known within the permit area. These sites were partly tested by the previous explorer during 2007 – 2008 with soil and rock chip sampling, as well as aircore drilling.

Of particular interest to Golden Rim are the Pellé North and Nongofaire North prospects. At Pellé North, fine gold-bearing stockwork quartz veins has been un-covered by artisanal miners over a considerable width of 40m and a strike length of 400m. Eleven previous holes covering 300m of this strike returned shallow mineralised intercepts up to 11m @ 8.73 g/t gold, 16m @ 1.35 g/t gold and 10m @ 1.59 g/t gold. Most of the drill sections are comprised of only a single hole and the gold mineralisation remains open along strike and open at depth.

A number of the holes were terminated within mineralisation. There has been a recent resurgence in artisanal activity since this drilling which indicates that the mineralisation has a more extensive width and may continue further to the south under laterite cover. At Nongofaire North, previous drilling was conducted on a single 660m long line of artisanal workings. Twenty holes were completed and broad zones of gold mineralisation were intercepted in the northern portion of the prospect area over a strike of 200m.

This mineralisation remains open to the north and open at depth. Again a number of the holes were terminated within mineralisation. Better intercepts in this area include: 14m @ 1.13 g/t gold, 8m @ 1.10 g/t gold and 4m @ 3.02 g/t gold. Since the previous drilling, artisanal miners have discovered and aggressively exploited an additional 2 sub-parallel zones of gold mineralisation, which lie 240m and 550m to the west of the main Nongofaire North workings.

Both of these new zones of gold mineralisation lie under shallow laterite cover. Golden Rim believes there is potential for more shallow, buried parallel zones of gold mineralisation to be discovered in this area and that it may be possible to cost effectively outline a bulk tonnage gold resource. The Zanna permit lies less than 10km southeast of Orezone’s Sega gold deposit (0.6Moz) and 20km northwest of Cluff Mining’s Kalsaka operating gold mine (0.8Moz). Exploration on the Burkina Faso permits is being fast tracked and work will continue into the wet season.

Reverse circulation drilling is currently underway on the Gonsin Project. A soil and rock chip sampling program is underway on the Yipley Project. Combined with its gold properties in Mali, Golden Rim now has a quality gold licence portfolio covering over 3,770km2 in West Africa, which is the fastest growing gold producing region in the world.

For further information, please contact: Craig Mackay Golden Rim Resources Managing Director +61 3 9890 2311 About the Agreement Under the terms of the agreement, Golden Rim may purchase a 100% interest in the Zanna permit following staged cash payments totalling US$115,000 over a maximum 3 year period. The agreement provides for a 1% net smelter return royalty on any gold produced from the permit, payable to the permit vendor. Golden Rim has the right to withdraw from the agreement, at any time.

Petroleum delivered its third consecutive annual production record following the successful delivery of a series of growth projects in the Gulf of Mexico (USA) and Australia. These contributed to continued growth in the high margin crude operations.

BHP Billiton operated Shenzi (USA) and Pyrenees (Australia) performed at or above design capacity during the year.

Western Australia Iron Ore achieved its tenth consecutive annual production record. Samarco (Brazil) also achieved quarterly and annual production records.

Annual production records were also achieved at North West Shelf, Hunter Valley Energy Coal, Worsley, Nickel West and Poitrel (all Australia), Alumar refinery (Brazil) and Zamzama (Pakistan).

Quarterly production records were achieved for manganese alloy, Cerrejon Coal (Colombia) and Samancor Metalloys (South Africa).

During the second half of the financial year, the old benchmark pricing system for iron ore and metallurgical coal was substantially replaced by shorter term market based pricing.

The transformation ensures the majority of BHP Billiton’s bulk commodities (iron ore, manganese, metallurgical coal and energy coal) are now linked to market based prices. BHP Billiton continues to be cautious on the short term outlook for the global economy. Uncertainty surrounds the near term prospects for growth in the developed world as governments adjust fiscal policies following a period of significant stimulus and subsequent increase in sovereign debt levels. Within China, measures introduced to reduce growth to more sustainable levels means volatility in commodity end-demand is likely to persist.

BHP Billiton sees these measures as a normal continuation of China’s economic management policies. Petroleum Total Petroleum Production – Petroleum delivered its third consecutive annual production record following the successful delivery of a series of growth projects in the Gulf of Mexico and Australia. BHP Billiton operated Shenzi and Pyrenees performed at or above design capacity during the year. This strong performance was partially offset by natural field decline and the suspension of drilling activities in the Gulf of Mexico. Drilling activities at Atlantis (USA) and Shenzi ceased during the June 2010 quarter.

BHP Billiton continues to monitor and assess the impact of the six month suspension of certain permitting and drilling activities in the Gulf of Mexico. Crude Oil, Condensate, and Natural Gas Liquids – High margin crude oil and condensate production was 27 per cent higher than the year ended June 2009 and significantly higher than all comparative periods following the successful start-up of Pyrenees and consistently strong performance at Shenzi. Strong reservoir performance from Atlantis North (USA) and a lack of weather related impacts also contributed to the annual increase in production. Natural Gas – Production was in line with the year ended June 2009. Production at the North West Shelf benefited from a full year contribution from LNG Train 5.

This was offset by planned maintenance at both the North West Shelf and UK assets. Aluminium Alumina – Production was nine per cent higher than the year and quarter ended June 2009 due to record annual performance at Worsley and the ongoing ramp up of the recently expanded Alumar refinery. An unplanned interruption of the ship unloading capabilities at Alumar impacted current quarter performance. In addition, Worsley benefited from the processing of stockpiled hydrate in the March 2010 quarter. Aluminium – Production across all operations was in line with comparative periods. Base Metals Copper – Production was higher than the March 2010 quarter due to strong performance at Escondida (Chile), a return to full capacity at Spence (Chile) and improved plant utilisation at Cerro Colorado (Chile).

Olympic Dam (Australia) recommenced hoisting from the Clark Shaft during the quarter and has returned to full production. Production for the year ended June 2010 decreased due to the Olympic Dam Clark Shaft outage, industrial action at Spence, lower grades at Cerro Colorado and Antamina (Peru), and the cessation of sulphide mining at Pinto Valley (USA). This was partly offset by higher grade and recovery at Escondida. Escondida production is expected to decline by five to 10 per cent in the 2011 financial year, mainly due to lower grade. At 30 June 2010 the Group had 236,584 tonnes of outstanding copper sales that were revalued at a weighted average price of US$2.96 per pound. The final price of these sales will be determined in the 2011 financial year.

In addition, 234,871 tonnes of copper sales from the 2009 financial year were subject to a finalisation adjustment in 2010. The finalisation adjustment and provisional pricing impact as at 30 June 2010 will increase earnings(b) by US$303 million for the year (year ended June 2009 US$936 million loss). Lead – Cannington (Australia) production increased over the previous year and quarter ended June 2009 due to higher grades and plant throughput. Zinc – Production was higher than the year and quarter ended June 2009 due to higher plant throughput and utilisation, and higher grades at Antamina and Cannington. Silver – Production was higher than the year and quarter ended June 2009 due to higher throughput and increased grade at Cannington. Uranium – Production was lower than the year and quarter ended June 2009 due to the Clark Shaft outage at Olympic Dam. The Clark Shaft returned to full capacity during the June 2010 quarter. Diamonds & Specialty Products Diamonds – Production was lower than all comparative periods primarily due to lower average grade.

During the year a higher proportion of ore was sourced from the Fox pit at Ekati (Canada) as mining of the higher grade Panda underground was completed. Stainless Steel Materials Nickel – Nickel West achieved record production for the year ended June 2010 following the major furnace rebuild at the Nickel West Kalgoorlie (Australia) smelter in the prior year. The subsequent drawdown of accumulated concentrate stocks is largely complete. Production in the June 2010 quarter was impacted by disruptions to hydrogen supply at the Nickel West Kwinana (Australia) refinery and an unplanned outage at Nickel West Kalgoorlie. During the second half of the 2011 financial year, Cerro Matoso (Colombia) production will be impacted for nine months due to the planned replacement of one of its two furnaces. Iron Ore Iron Ore – Record production was achieved for the year ended June 2010. Current quarter production was impacted by tie-in activities at Western Australia Iron Ore as Rapid Growth Project 4 continues to ramp up. Following demand related production adjustments, Samarco returned to full production during the year ended June 2010, delivering a record result for the operation. For the 2010 financial year, 39 per cent of Western Australia Iron Ore shipments on a wet metric tonne basis were priced on annually agreed terms, with the remainder sold on a shorter term basis.

During the second half of the financial year, the old benchmark pricing system was substantially replaced by shorter term market based, landed pricing. Our expectation is that future Western Australia Iron Ore shipments will be priced on this basis. Manganese Manganese Ore – Production was higher than all corresponding periods despite weather related impacts in Australia and South Africa during the June 2010 quarter. Mamatwan mine (South Africa) achieved record production during the quarter.

For the year, production was significantly higher and reflected improved market demand. Samancor Manganese ore continues to be priced on a monthly basis. Manganese Alloy – Following the recovery in market conditions, production was at record levels for the quarter and higher for the year ended June 2010. Samancor Metalloys achieved record production during the June 2010 quarter. Samancor Manganese alloy continues to be priced on a shorter term basis. Metallurgical Coal Metallurgical Coal – Production was higher due to improved operational and supply chain performance, supported by strong demand. The March 2010 quarter was impacted by wet weather disruptions at Queensland Coal and planned longwall moves at Illawarra (both Australia).

Despite this, Queensland Coal achieved record annual and quarterly shipments. Hay Point Coal Terminal (Australia) is currently undergoing planned maintenance on Berth 2, which is scheduled for completion in August 2010. As with iron ore, the old benchmark system was substantially replaced by shorter term market based pricing. For the year ended June 2010, 34 per cent of metallurgical coal shipments were priced on a shorter term basis.

The majority of product sold in the June 2010 quarter was priced in this manner. Energy Coal Energy Coal – Production was in line with the previous year with the continued ramp up of the Klipspruit (South Africa) expansion and record production at Hunter Valley Energy Coal offsetting lower customer demand at New Mexico Coal (USA). Cerrejon Coal achieved a production record during the June 2010 quarter however this was offset by weather related disruptions and a strike by the rail services provider in South Africa, and plant upgrade activities related to the MAC20 project at Hunter Valley Energy Coal.

Further to our announcement of 22 June 2010 concerning drilling at Brown Range. Excalibur Mining Corporation Ltd (EXM) (“Excalibur”), as Operator, advises that in respect to the drilling of EL 25207 on the Tanami region of the Northern Territory of Australia, to date a total of 150 holes for 5,428 metres has been undertaken on 3 targets areas.

This is part of a planned 10,000 meter RAB program which is first pass reconnaissance drilling across 6 targets identified from airborne geophysics. Delays to the progression of the planned drilling programme have been suffered due to approximately 5 days lost time due to unseasonal rain in early July. The southern two targets were dominantly in the younger overlying sandstones. Most samples have been tested by the x‐ray florescence (“XRF”) gun, some are awaiting testing.

The XRF gun didn’t show any anomalous values on these two targets. Target 3 showed complex geology, with granitoids, sandstones, graphitic shales and mafics being intersected. This is in line with the interpretation from aerial survey data. The first composite samples are on their way to the laboratory for gold assaying.

Results are anticipated at the end of July. Yours Sincerely Roland Berzins Company Secretary.

Aurora Oil & Gas Limited (“Aurora”) is pleased to provide the following update on production at the Longhorn Area of Mutual Interest (“AMI”) within the Sugarkane Gas & Condensate Field, Texas.

MORE CENTREX PROGRESS AS MARINE SURVEY WORK STARTS ON PROPOSED NEW E.P. PORT

Offshore seismic survey work and marine ecology investigations will start next month for a proposed new bulk commodities shipping port on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. Centrex Metals today announced it had awarded a contract to Golder Associates for offshore seismic survey and marine ecology work as part of the proposed new deep water port 65 km northeast of Port Lincoln.

The seismic survey equipment – which recently completed a contract for Adelaide's new desalination plant at Port Stanvac – will relocate to the planned port site early in August and commence survey work later in the month. Centrex proposes the multi-user port as the export hub for iron ore production from its significant Eyre Peninsula deposits and which will also be available for the growing number of other mining operations and producers in the region.

Last week, the company announced the finalisation of successful exploration and development joint ventures with Chinese majors, Wuhan Iron & Steel (Group) Co. (“WISCO”) and Baotou Iron & Steel Group Company Limited (“Baotou”). Centrex's Chairman, David Klingberg, said: “The commencement of survey work and marine studies on the proposed port takes us closer to our goal of submitting a Development Application for the port site and the culmination of a long period of studies and activity by the Centrex project team led by former Managing Director, Gerard Anderson”. "As previously announced, Mr Anderson resigned after completing 5 years as Centrex's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.

Gerard was instrumental in the company’s IPO and listing on the ASX in 2006 and leading the company to its current position as a financially sound and potential producer with extremely strong JV partners. Again on behalf of the entire Centrex team, my thanks to Gerard for his work and achievements at the Company and we wish him further success in the future." Former OneSteel executive, Mr Jim White, has been appointed to succeed Mr Anderson at Centrex and will start with the Company next month. Centrex's Chief Operating Officer, Mr Kevin Malaxos, will act as CEO until Mr White commences with the Company.
