    BMG OPERATIONS UPDATE



    The BMG Joint Venture is pleased to advise that its offshore operations in Gippsland, Victoria, continue to produce trouble free and
achieved a significant production milestone last Thursday 31st July with its 5 millionth barrel of crude oil. 

    In addition, the Joint Venture has recently completed yet another ship-to-ship (STS) cargo lifting in Western Port Bay with a 597,000
barrel sale to Itochu at a price in excess of US$130, which was a premium to APPI Tapis reflecting the high quality of the crude. This is
the JV's 14th lifting from the operation. Its next lifting, also a STS, will be 600,000 barrels in late September.

    Production at present is approximately 9,500 bopd and is expected to increase next month with the commencement of production from the
new well, Basker 6ST1. This well is currently having its 5500m flowline laid. 


    The participants in the Basker-Manta Joint Venture are:

    Anzon Australia Limited                                 40%    (Operator)
