Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ASX:ESI) Chief Executive, Kosmas Galtos, said the Victorian Government's deferring plans to allocate new reserves of brown coal for mining and export to India do not adversely affect the company's commercialisation strategy in any way. Its plans are not dependent on a new allocation of brown coal.

Kairiki Energy Limited (ASX:KIK)(PINK:KAIRF) said that on the 11th December 2009 the Service Contract 54 Block A (SC 54A) Joint Venture partners provided their Final Investment Decision (FID) approval for the development of the Tindalo oilfield.

WestSide Corporation Limited (ASX:WCL) said it has significantly increased the coal seam gas (CSG) reserves targets for the Company's 2009 / 2010 program after recent results from its drilling and appraisal works provided confidence for the expanded campaign. The Company is now targeting up to 111 Petajoules (PJ) of Proved and Probable (2P) gas reserves and up to 1,710 PJ of Proved, Probable and Possible (3P) reserves in the Bowen and Galilee Basins, building on previously certified gas reserves.

Legend Mining Limited (ASX:LEG)(PINK:LGDMF) said that following shareholder approvals at the General meeting on 4 December 2009, the initial payment for the Cameroon Iron Ore Project has been completed.

Subsequent to the termination of the joint venture with Ord River Diamonds, 100% ownership of the East Kirup lithium-tantalite-tin exploration prospect has reverted to Red River Resources Limited (ASX:RVR).
