Commenting, Jean Claude Gandur, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addax Petroleum said: "We are extremely pleased to have achieved record aggregate test rates from the most recent Cretaceous appraisal well at Taq Taq.

US GOLD CORPORATION (TSX: UXG)(NYSE Alternext US: UXG)(FRANKFURT: US8) is pleased to announce that core drilling at the El Gallo project in Sinaloa State, Mexico, has returned the deepest high-grade silver intersection to date. Testing below the previous limits of the mineralization returned: 20.8 ounces of silver per ton (opt) (713.1 grams per tonne (gpt)) over 14.3 feet (ft) (4.4 meters (m)).

Hole GAX012 intersected two separate zones of high-grade silver mineralization, with the deepest being at a vertical depth of 380.0 ft (115.0 m). The deepest intersection was the most significant with an average grade of 20.8 opt silver (713.1 gpt) over 14.3 ft (4.4 m), including 73.8 opt silver (2,530.0 gpt) over 2.5 ft (0.8 m). This intersection extended mineralization vertically by 65.0 ft (20.0 m).

Mr. Harvey Keats, Chief Executive Officer of Donner Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: DON)(FRANKFURT: D4M), reports that diamond drilling has discovered massive sulphide mineralization in the Daniel-1 area during testing of regional geophysical anomalies 16 kilometres northwest of Xstrata's operating Perseverance Mine and 26 kilometres northwest of the Matagami Mill. Diamond drill hole DAN-09-10 intersected 3.95 metres of massive sulphides grading 2.20% copper, 0.09% zinc, 8.8 g/t silver and 0.25 g/t gold from 345.13 to 349.08 metres. Mineralization is at 320 metres vertical depth from surface and is hosted within felsic and mafic volcanic/volcanoclastic rocks. The mineralization encountered by drilling at Daniel-1 is outside of the three Matagami mineralized belts (North Flank, South Flank and West Camp) and further demonstrates the potential for new discoveries in this well established camp.

The first test on the UMU-5 well was conducted on the IX oil zone for a duration of 17 hours. During the test, the well flowed at rates up to 3,200 barrels per day of 48 API gravity oil through 2 7/8 inch tubing on a 32/64" choke at a flowing tubing pressure of 625 PSI. Water production was less than 0.2% and the gas/oil ratio was approximately 80 standard cubic feet per barrel. Mart and its partners are currently undertaking an additional production test in the VII oil zone, located uphole of the IX oil zone.

Canadian Superior Energy Inc.

During the initial flowing period of approximately 16 hours, a peak flow rate of 60.1 MMscf/d was obtained, which is the maximum rate allowed under the testing equipment specifications. A final flow rate of 56.4 MMscf/d was measured with a 48/64 inch choke with a FWHP of 4122psi. Multiple flow rate testing will be conducted over the next few days. The well has flowed "dry" natural gas with a gas gravity of approximately 0.584, approximately 0.3% CO2 with no production of water, condensate or solids, during this initial flow period.

Hathor Exploration Limited (TSX-V: HAT) is pleased to announce initial winter 2009 drill program assay results that grade up to 70.7% U3O8 from the Roughrider Zone on its 90% owned Midwest NorthEast uranium property.

Hathor's winter 2009 drill program began in January and assay results for 16 drill holes have been received. Ten of the 16 drill holes were in-fill, grid-drilling that targeted the Roughrider Zone. Nine of these holes intersected uranium mineralization.

Highlights from U3O8 assayed core-length intervals(i) (using a 0.05% U3O8 cut-off grade) include:

American Bonanza Gold Corp. (TSX:BZA) ("Bonanza") has drilled the highest gold grades yet obtained at the 100% owned Copperstone Project in Arizona. Drill hole 08CS-50 encountered a 5.8 meter structural zone with an average grade of 227.7 grams per tonne gold (6.6 ounces of gold per ton) in the South Pit gold zone. The South Pit gold zone is the second new gold zone discovered at Copperstone during recent exploration drilling, and is adjacent to the south end of the open pit, which produced one-half million ounces of gold between 1987 and 1993.

The South Pit zone as currently understood is at least 300 meters long and is open to expansion along strike and up and down dip.

Goldsource Mines Inc. ("Goldsource" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GXS) is pleased to announce a new coal discovery in the Split-Leaf area (sub-basin) on its wholly-owned Border Project located near Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, Canada.

The Split-Leaf sub-basin is located approximately 7 kilometres south from the Chemong sub-basin area where Goldsource drilled a 132.6 metre coal zone intercept announced on February 26, 2009 and approximately 11.5 kilometres from the Pasquia sub-basin area where recent drilling has indicated coal zone continuity over a 2 square kilometre area (to see attached map, please click on the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/gxs.pdf). The Pasquia area remains open in all lateral directions as announced by the Company on February 27, 2009.

InterOil Corporation (AMEX:IOC) (POMSoX: IOC) today announced that its Antelope-1 well flowed at 382 million cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMcfd) with 5,000 barrels of condensate per day (BCPD) for a total 68,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD), setting a new record rate for the country of Papua New Guinea. The flow test recorded a maximum calculated rate at 545 MMcfd for a dry gas reading through a 6 inch capacity choke that was only opened to 3 1/2 inches or about 30% of capacity. Conservatively adjusting the dry gas flow rate of 545 MMcfd to compensate for 13 Bbls of condensate per MMcf results in the 382 MMcf effective gas flow rate reported above.

Corrected Interval Equates to 14.51 g/t Gold over 46.96 metres

Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NFR) announces that due to a typographical correction from the lab for assay certificate AW2008-8069, the company is pleased to announce that the gold assay result from previously released drill hole GRD08-073 encompassing the interval from 143.84 m to 145.08 m (1.24 m) has been corrected to 206.50 g/t gold from 20.65 g/t gold (see table in press release dated July 29th, 2008).
