Date Wednesday 28 July 2010 Subject Proposed cancellation of nib shares nib holdings limited (nib) wishes to update the market on its intention concerning the approximate 6.1% shares held in the nib Overseas Policyholders and Unverified Policyholders Trust (Trust).

In 2007, nib health funds limited demutualised and became a wholly owned subsidiary of nib. Under the terms of the demutualisation, shares in nib were issued to the Trust to be held on behalf of the relevant overseas policyholders and unverified policyholders. Since the demutualisation, nib has attempted to contact unverified policyholders on numerous occasions to remind them to verify their details.

In addition, during August 2010, nib will place notices in major Australian newspapers as another way of contacting unverified policyholders. As at 19 July 2010, the trustee of the Trust, Australian Executor Trustees Limited (Trustee), held 30,272,440 shares in nib, which represents approximately 6.1% of nib’s issued share capital. Under the terms of the Trust Deed, as soon as reasonably practicable after the third anniversary of the Demutualisation Date, which was 1 October 2007, the Trustee must dispose of all of the trust property (which includes the shares held by the Trustee, the dividends paid by nib on the shares held by the Trustee and the interest income) in such manner as directed by the Board of nib. The Board of nib has been considering its options as to the treatment of the shares held by the Trustee. The current intention of the Board is to recommend the cancellation of the shares held by the Trustee for nil consideration. The Board intends to seek shareholder approval of such a selective capital reduction at nib’s 2010 annual general meeting to be held on 26 October 2010.

Further details will be provided to shareholders in the notice of meeting. The Board intends to direct the Trustee to pay any other remaining trust property, less any expenses incurred by the Trustee in relation to the Trust, to nib. Are you an unverified policyholder?

Shenhua International Limited NPAT expected to be up 15%

Shenhua International Limited (SHU), one of the leading home textile manufacturers in China, today announced that, based on unaudited results, it expects to report a net profit of $13.5 million for FY2010. This will represent an increase of 15 per cent compared to FY2009 (FY2009: $11.75 million).

Sales for FY2010 were $121.0 million, an increase of 11.9 per cent and a record for the company (FY2009: $108.1 million). While the board will not declare a final dividend for FY2010 until the audited results are complete, it has already determined that this will be not less than one cent per share. During the year, Shenhua’s international (ex-China) sales grew, with export revenue rising 4.4 per cent to $84.7 million (FY2009: $81.1 million). The company’s penetration of the China market continued its momentum, and sales were $36.3 million in FY2010 (FY2009: $27.0 million).

The proportion of sales to China as a percentage of total sales increased five per cent to 30 per cent (FY2009: 25 per cent). The company continues to focus on increasing its sales of finished goods such as curtains, pillows and quilts, and the proportion of finished product sales grew significantly from five per cent of total sales in FY2009 to 12 per cent in FY2010. Shenhua receives a higher gross profit for its finished goods than for its fabrics alone, and has increased its investment in research and development to expand its range and business. New fabrics being developed include water resistant earthwork cloth and upholstery for aeroplanes and buses. Philip Widjaya, managing director of Shenhua said, “We are pleased to report a record profit in our first year as a listed company on the Australian Securities Exchange.

This reflects the success of our strategy to expand market share in China, and the company was able to increase its international sales despite difficult markets in developed countries. ” “Increasing urbanization and consumer affluence are driving our sales in China, and we plan to take advantage of the growing economy through the gradual establishment of direct sales centers and expansion of our sales channel. ” “Internationally, while sales to developed markets remain flat with constrained discretionary spending, we are increasing our sales focus on the fast-growing emerging markets of Africa and South America.”

Shenhua International Limited is one of the leading home textile manufacturers in China, specializing in the manufacture of high-quality fabrics for internal furnishing and decorative use and also producing finished goods such as curtains, pillows and curtains.

Established in 1999, its operational headquarters are based at Yangxunqiao town in Zhejiang Province near Shanghai. The company employs approximately 1,000 people and sells internationally to 49 countries. Shenhua listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in July 2009 and its ASX code is SHU.

CHINA COAL EXTENSION GRANTED TO COMPLETE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

MetroCoal Limited (ASX-MTE) announces that the date by which all conditions precedent of the Joint Venture with China Coal Import & Export Company (CCIEC) are to be satisfied have been extended to 30 September 2010 to enable CCIEC to obtain the last of their approvals with their local Chinese Government agencies.

MetroCoal announced on 17 July 2010 that it had received approval from The Chinese Government‟s National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) for CCIEC‟s $30 million Joint Venture agreement but the remaining approvals are still required before this transaction can be finalised. CCIEC is a wholly owned subsidiary of China National Coal Group Corp (China Coal). Discussions have already started on the implementation of the exploration program.

Under the terms of the Agreement, CCIEC has acquired a 51% interest in MetroCoal‟s EPC 1165 Columboola in the Surat Basin, Queensland for an agreed expenditure commitment of AUD$30 million on EPC 1165. The funds will be used for exploring and evaluating the potential for future commercialisation options within the Columboola tenement and also opens up the opportunity for participation in MetroCoal‟s other tenements.

The Columboola JVA requires a minimum expenditure of $4 million within the first two years of the agreement. The transaction has been approved by the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) but is subject to approvals from a number of Chinese Government agencies and the transfer of the $30 million in funds to China Coal‟s Australian subsidiary company.

Other salient aspects of the Joint Venture Agreement are:

- within 10 days of receipt by CCIEC of the $30 million, MetroCoal will amend the ownership of EPC 1165 with Queensland Mines and Energy;

- after the first $4 million has been expended, either party may withdraw from the joint venture and the withdrawing party will forfeit its interest in the Joint Venture;

- when the $30 million has been fully expended each party will be required to contribute in proportion to their respective Joint Venture interests;

- CCIEC will be the Manager of the Joint Venture; and

- CCIEC will also have first right to enter into a Joint Venture over the other MetroCoal tenements.

MetroCoal listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in December 2009 following a $10 million capital raising. The company holds extensive coal tenements covering approximately 4,000 km2 throughout the Surat Basin which it plans to commercialise through conventional coal mining and underground coal gasification (UCG).

For further information, please contact: Mr Mike O’Brien Mr Theo Psaros Chief Executive Officer Chief Operating Officer and Company Secretary Mob: 0488 700 745 Mob: 0414 988 009 Phone: +61 (7) 3249 3040 Fax: +61 (7) 3249 3041 Email: admin@metrocoal.com.au Postal Address: GPO Box 122, Brisbane QLD 4001 Further information on MetroCoal can be found on our website www.metrocoal.com.au About MetroCoal Limited (MTE) MetroCoal is an Australian based emerging coal energy company focused on its 100% owned coal projects in the Surat Basin in South East Queensland.

MetroCoal listed on the ASX on 4 December 2009 after closing a fully subscribed IPO raising $10 million. MetroCoal‟s vision is to build a substantial cleaner energy and coal business based on: 1. Export thermal coal from underground mining and where possible, open cut mining; and

2. Underground Coal Gasification („UCG‟) with an integrated gas synthesis process producing high quality, clean liquid fuel (e.g. clean diesel and jet fuel), chemicals and fertilizers and syngas fuelled power generation.

MetroCoal holds extensive coal exploration tenements in the Surat Coal Basin covering approximately 4,000km2. These tenements are down dip of well known resources including Wandoan, Elimatta, Cameby Downs and Woori. Based on the geological information from the historic drilling programs and its own drilling results, MetroCoal has an Exploration Target of between 2.5 and 3.5 billion tonnes with a JORC Code classification of “inferred” or better, within the next two years for evaluation for conventional underground coal mining and where more suited - UCG.

The potential quantity and quality is conceptual in nature, and that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource of Ore Reserve and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource of Ore Reserve.

Market update Sales growth returns in H2 AtCor Medical (ACG), the developer and marketer of the SphygmoCor® system which measures central blood pressures and arterial stiffness non-invasively, today announced unaudited preliminary results for FY2010.

FY2010 sales were $9.2 million, representing a decline of 18%, and 4% on a constant currency basis. The first half of FY2010 was characterised by constrained research and healthcare spending and weak pharmaceutical contracting which affected the company’s sales. Some orders were deferred, with sales expected in FY2010 now anticipated in FY2011.

However, sales in H2 grew 4% on a constant currency basis and progress continued to be made throughout the year on a number of initiatives to position AtCor for the future. Sales in the US increased by 5% assisted by the return of pharmaceutical sector contracting activity in the second half. Clinical sales to medical specialists such as cardiologists, hypertension specialists and nephrologists continued to grow, rising 43%. Sales in Europe declined 29%, reflecting the impact of reduced funding for the largely government-supported research and clinical sectors.

Sales in Asia Pacific declined 8%. Gross margin improved by over 500 basis points from 84.5% in 2009 to 90.1%, reflecting the lower production costs from a full year of the SphygmoCor EM3 system released in November, 2008 and sales of previously leased pharmaceutical systems. Preliminary FY2010 net loss is expected to be between $1.1 million and $1.3 million, compared to ($1.7 million) in FY2009. Cash at 30 June 2010 was $1.6 million, down $1.8 million compared to 30 June 2009. Net operating outflows for the year were ($2.6 million), though net outflows were less than $0.4 million in H2, reflecting improved collections and tight expense management. Duncan Ross, CEO of AtCor Medical said “This was a year in which the global financial crisis impacted our markets, and uncertainty about US Healthcare reform effectively shut down new pharmaceutical contracts until legislation was signed in March.

Despite this, growth returned in the second half and important milestones were achieved, including the two positive Medicare reimbursement decisions in Michigan. While healthcare and research budgets remain tight and economic recovery has been slow, we expect sales to return to double digit levels on a constant currency basis in FY2011. We continue to invest in new product development to support our market leadership and future, and have a solid pipeline of sales opportunities to build from.” About AtCor Medical AtCor Medical develops and markets products for the early detection of cardiovascular risk and management of cardiovascular disease.

Its technology allows researchers and clinicians to measure central blood pressure non-invasively. The company’s SphygmoCor system visibly identifies the effects of reflected blood pressure in the central aortic pressure wave, effects that cannot be detected with standard blood pressure monitoring. Central blood pressure has been found to be a superior predictor of cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack and kidney disease. More than 2,100 SphygmoCor systems are currently in use worldwide at major medical and research institutions and in clinical trials with leading pharmaceutical companies.

The company’s technology has been featured in over 400 peer-reviewed studies published in leading medical journals. AtCor has operations in the United States, Australia, and Europe.

High Grade Drill Intersections at the Daltiin Ovor Gold Project

Voyager Resources is very pleased to announce high grade drilling results from the North Hinge Zone at the Daltiin Ovor Gold Project. This initial programme was designed to delineate the geometry and nature of gold mineralisation underneath previously completed trenching. An additional drilling programme is currently being planned to follow up on these exceptional early results.

Drilling returned exceptional results, including:

3 metres at 50.59 g/t gold, 4.0% copper & 31.3 g/t silver from 6 metres (DL_12_RC)

9 metres at 10.45 g/t gold, 0.8% copper & 16.8 g/t silver from 11 metres (DL_04_RC)

9 metres at 10.40 g/t gold, 0.9% copper & 14.3 g/t silver from 10 metres (DL_10_08_RC)

4 metres at 6.66 g/t gold, 0.6% copper & 6.75 g/t silver from 2 metres (DL_17_RC) Drilling was targeted at testing trenching results, which included:

12 metres at 8.7 g/t gold, 24 g/t silver and 0.67% copper

10 metres at 7.8 g/t gold

15 metres at 5.4 g/t gold, 22 g/t silver and 0.5% copper

11.4 metres at 8.8 g/t gold, 14 g/t silver and 0.63% copper

A further RC drilling programme is now being planned to test strike extensions, down dip continuity and other mineralised areas that have been identified from previous trenching. Drilling has also indicated that the mineralisation is shallow dipping as opposed to the previous interpretation from mapping that indicated the system was steeply dipping.

Mineralisation also remains open to the north west and south east. Drilling is currently being planned to recommence in August. The Company will also drill test a number of targets outside of the main hinge zone. This includes the central zone, where drilling has returned up to 3 metres at 6.28 g/t gold and the southern zone, where trenching has returned 10 metres at 7.8 g/t gold and 3 metres at 19.4 g/t gold. Voyager Resources continues to focus on growing its gold business in Mongolia through the acquisition, funding and focused development of high quality gold projects.

The initial drilling results at Daltiin Ovor are highly encouraging and further drilling is being planned. The Company has also completed initial drilling programmes at the Argalant and Tsagaan Gold Projects, where results will be reported over the next month. The Company also continues to assess additional quality gold opportunities in Mongolia. Kell Nielsen Managing Director.

Galaxy included in world’s first lithium focused Exchange Traded Fund

Fund tracks performance of the largest and most liquid lithium mining, refining and battery producing companies.

Further enhances lithium as an attractive investment opportunity Emerging lithium producer, Galaxy Resources Limited (GXY), has been included in the world’s first lithium focused Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). The fund, launched by New York based investment manager Global X Funds, is the first fund of its kind that provides investors with an opportunity to gain exposure to fast growing lithium sector.

The basket of lithium-related equities included in the fund gives investors access to the complete lithium value chain, from mining and refining through to lithium battery production. Galaxy Resources Managing Director, Mr Iggy Tan, said he was pleased Galaxy had been selected in the world’s first lithium ETF. “Galaxy’s inclusion makes sense given the Company’s commitment to creating value further down the lithium supply chain,” Mr Tan said. “We are now producing ore from our mine and making strong progress on the construction of our downstream processing facility which will produce lithium carbonate to sell as high grade feedstock for battery producers. Mr Tan said the first ETF was a positive development for the entire sector as it provides recognition of lithium’s growing appeal as an investment opportunity. “Global lithium carbonate production has recovered significantly since the Global Financial Crisis and is only going to increase further as the push towards ‘green’ transport solutions such as electric cars and E-bikes gained momentum,” he said.

For more information, please contact: Iggy Tan Jon Snowball Managing Director FD Third Person 08 9215 1700 08 9386 1233 0419 046 397 0424 473 841

Galaxy Resources is a Western Australian company which is soon to become one of the world’s leading producers of lithium – the essential component for powering the world’s fast expanding fleet of hybrid and electric cars. By 2010, GXY’s Mt Cattlin mine will be the world’s second largest hard rock producer of lithium and, through the development of its value adding lithium carbonate plant (17,000 tpa), the Company will be the largest and lowest cost lithium producer in China. Lithium concentrate and lithium carbonate materials are forecast to be in short supply against high future demand due to advances in long life batteries and sophisticated electronics including mobile phones and computers. Galaxy Resources has positioned itself to meet this lithium future by not only mining the lithium but by downstream processing to supply lithium carbonate to the lucrative Asian market.

TRANSFIELD SERVICES LIMITED FULL-YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2010 - DIVIDEND RECORD DATE AND PAYMENT DATE

We advise that the:

• Record Date for the full-year dividend will be Wednesday, 15 September 2010, and

• Payment Date for the full-year dividend will be Wednesday, 20 October 2010.

The dividend rate and details about the Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be released with our full-year results on Thursday, 26 August 2010. Yours faithfully, Kate Munnings Company Secretary.

Further to the information released in Neon Energy Limited’s Operations Update of 6th July 2010, Neon Energy confirms that the Paris Valley Field in California (Neon 100% working interest) has been ascertained by MHA Petroleum Consultants, in a report with an effective date of 1 January 2009, to contain the following reserves:

The evaluation on which these reserves are based includes the economic redevelopment of the Central Paris Valley area using steam injection and horizontal drilling to enhance the recovery of the heavy oil in the same manner as Neon Energy currently employs at the nearby North San Ardo Field.

The data received from the current testing of the North Paris Valley-1 well, coupled with production rates and other information received from the drilling of a horizontal well in the Central Paris Valley compartment (scheduled to be drilled later this year) will be incorporated into a revised MHA analysis. That result will be a key aspect to the final decision regarding commercial development of the field. An attempt was made to develop Central Paris Valley in the 1970’s, but despite having produced ca. 120,623 barrels of oil with flow rates of up to 141 bopd from individual wells, the field was shut down in 1979 due to the low oil price at that time.

The information in the MHA Petroleum Consultants’ report was compiled by Leslie S O’Connor, President of MHA Petroleum Consultants, who is qualified in accordance with the ASX listing rule 5.11. Ms O’Connor, a practicing Petroleum Engineer and Geologist for 34 years, has given her consent to the release of the reserves contained in this report.
