Oil climbs on back of resurgent equity markets: Oil prices have been pushed a tad higher on Wednesday, after international equity markets turned around. On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, light sweet crude futures climbed around 40 cents to US$74.50/barrel. In London the FTSE100, FTSE250 and FTSE All-share all added almost half a percent. Elsewhere European indices all climbed around 1%. In Paris the CAC40 gained just over one percent to 3,683, so did the Spanish IBEX and Italy’s MIB index. The German DAX gained just under 1%. The trend was very similar across the Atlantic, with both the DOW Jones and the S&P500 each advancing around 0.8%. Oil prices usually track movements in share prices, which serve as an indicator of the strength of the economy and the outlook for energy demand. Oil demand in the US has been in decline, which was reflected by substantial gains in crude inventories reported by the Energy Department. Last week, the US government revealed a massive increase of 3.4 million barrels, while the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported a gain of 4.8 million barrels. The next round of weekly US inventory number starts tomorrow. On the London Stock Exchange, the oil and gas major have moved inline with the broader trends.BP (LON:BP) climbed around 1.3% to trade at 412p per share, while Royal Dutch Shell (LON:RDSB) also added 1% to trade at £17.66 Similarly the FTSE100’s other producers, Tullow Oil (LON:TLW) gained 1.3% and was last changing hands at £12.44. Cairn Energy (LON:CNE) added just 0.5%. Among the mid-caps Premier Oil (LON:PMO), Dragon Oil (LON:DGO), and SOCO International (LON:SIA) were also 1% higher.

Medusa Mining's Daniel buys 25,000 shares : Medusa Mining (ASX:MML, TSX:MLL, ASX:MML) director Roy Daniel increased his stake in the company by purchasing 25,000 ordinary shares on-market, to increase total securities held to 1,422,006.A total consideration of AU$111,000 was paid, indicating a buy price of AU$4.44. Based on the current share price the total holding in Medusa is valued at $6.27 million.Medusa Mining recently proposed changes to its shareholder constitution, to allow it to pay a dividend from the cash-flows generated at the Co-O gold mine.The company will hold a general meeting on 6th October to propose the ‘special resolution’. The move follows recent changes to the Corporations Act 2001, which introduced a new three-tiered test to permit dividend payments in circumstances other than out of profits.Subject to approval, the directors are proposing that the company pay an un-franked dividend of A$0.05 per share.The London, Toronto and Sydney listed company produced 89,679 ounces of gold in the twelve month period ended 30 June 2010 - up an impressive 87% on 2009, while cash costs per ounce of gold fell from $213 per ounce to an ultra-low $184 per ounce, thanks in part to a higher recovered grade during the year of 16.5 grams per tonne gold, compared to 13.3 grams per tonne in 2009.The growing production profile and lower cost per ounce helped Medusa lift full year net profit after tax to US$65.8 million, up 131% on the previous year, while adjusted earnings per share jumped 120% to US$0.412.Revenues climbed 121% to US$94.6 million thanks to the higher production levels and strong gold price - Medusa received an average price of US$1,100 per ounce from the sale of 64,000 ounces. Medusa is debt free, unhedged and ended the period with cash and bullion of US$55.8 million.Medusa expects to produce 100,000 ounces of gold at cash costs in the region of US$190 per ounce, keeping the Co-0 mine firmly in the lowest quartile of gold mines in operations.

DiamondCorp Botswana Drilling Unearths Encouraging Results : Shares in DiamondCorp (LON:DCP) advanced 5 per cent as its drilling programme in Botswana gave cause for encouragement.Earlier the company revealed the J-05 kimberlite shows similar characteristics to the diamond bearing volcanic rock at the nearby Jwaneng mine.The discovery comes after the company sank five boreholes into the target area that intersected what the company termed “coherent kimberlite” at vertical depths of up to 218 metres.Samples are now being shipped to Canada for analysis, while drilling will continue on J-05 to confirm the size of the DiamondCorp kimberlite.At around two hectares, J-05 is on a similar scale to the company’s Lace mine diamond mine in South Africa.However management will hope the grade and carat has more in common with Jwaneng, which is just 9 kilometres away.The Debswana-owned operation is the richest diamond mine in the world on a revenue per tonne basis and produces up to 25 per cent of De Beers’ global production. And Jwaneng’s grade and carat are five to ten times richer on a revenue per tonne basis than DiamonCorp’s Lace project.Managing director Paul Loudon said: ‘We are pleased that J-05 is emerging as a kimberlite with the right geological features and potential to carry economic diamond grades. ‘We look forward to updating the market with results from the microdiamond analysis in about eight weeks time.’ The Botswana area was acquired via the ‘use it or lose it’ laws and DiamondCorp earn a 77.5 per cent share once it completes a definitive feasibility study on at least one of the kimberlites over a period of five years. Of the five targets, the three most prospective were surveyed with ground gravity and magnetics last year. However the company’s main focus currently is Lace, which was first mined early in the 20th century.The Lace pipe has been drilled by the company to a depth of some 855 metres, with indications that there are 35 million tonnes of untapped kimberlite between the current 240 metre base level and 855 metres. Around 500,000 carats are expected to extracted annually once Lace is fully up and running and this should produce a mine life of around 25 years. During 2011 Loudon says the company will be mining at 13,000 tonnes per month while setting up the sub-level caving underground mine plan and refurbishing the existing vertical shaft, which will be used for hoisting and allow the decline to be used for men, materials and ventilation. ‘By the Q1 next year we will have accessed our resource at the 240-metre level. We will need to raise money in 2011 to bring production up to full scale of 1.2 million tonnes per annum by the end of 2011,’ Loudon said recently.House broker Cenkos calculates that Lace would generate cash-flows of £3 million from 2012, rising to approximately £15 million from 2015 - assuming annual production of 230,000 carats from 2012 and 400,000 carats by 2015.Botswana represents the next stage of development for the company. Previous exploration at the J-01 kimberlite pipe was diamondiferous. So if the analysis on J-05 returns promising results then DiamondCorp is likely to carry out bulk sampling on both target areas.This is unlikely to happen before the company has raised fresh cash. Any issue of fresh equity will probably follow bulk sampling results at Lace due in the first quarter of next year.Broker Fairfax reckons it will cost £4 million to £5 million to Lace into full production. ‘This is capital requirement is particularly low,’ said analyst John Meyer, who rates DiamondCorp shares a buy, with a 17p a share price target.The analysts’ valuation is based on a net present value of the Lace mine using a 15 per cent discount rate and factoring an equity raise of £6.5 million next year at 12p following the results of the bulk sampling.‘We note that management are progressing work at Lace and on the exploration tenements in Botswana as planned or even slightly ahead of timings which adds confidence that the team are well able to deliver,’ Meyer added.At 3.25pm, the shares were trading 0.35p, or 4.83 per cent higher at 7.6p.
