Re the Gold program - disappointing there are no farm in partners keen to get involved. SRO would need a huge cash injection to go it alone here.

Gold Programme In the later part of 2009, the potential for the occurrence of gold within Spitfire's Project tenements was recognised and the Company commissioned a reconnaissance gold exploration programme to test the north-eastern part of the Project's license areas. Several zones of anomalous gold values were delineated. These anomalies cover only some 10 kilometres of the 55 kilometres of the regional fault system. These encouraging results will require further drilling to ascertain the extent of the mineralization over the Company's exploration licences. The Company has committed to this further drilling programme in 2011. In the interim, due to the vast area in which the anomalous results occur, the Company has been investigating identifying a joint venture partner to commit the necessary significant resources required for this further exploration work. To date, this search has been unsuccessful. Other Business Opportunities Although Spitfire's primary objective remains the commercialisation of its L2VTM lignite to liquids technology over the large resource at the Project, management continues to evaluate other energy related opportunities and other possible synergistic business opportunities.

Introduction Spitfire Oil Limited ("Spitfire" or "the Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") recorded a loss before tax for the six months ended 31 December 2010 of A$189,684 (2009 A$1,093,816). The decrease in losses arises as a result of action taken in the period to reduce costs. With cash balances of A$8m the Group has benefited from interest receipts of A$178,000 in the period. In 2010 a thorough review of the Salmon Gums project (the "Project") concluded that a saleable distillate could not be produced economically at prevailing world crude oil prices through the proprietary L2VTM lignite to liquids process. As a consequence, a conscious decision was made to minimize all activities by the Company on the Project including suspending any further work on the L2VTMprocess, minimizing any additional geological work and reducing all overhead costs, including the redundancy of all personnel. These actions have stabilised the Company's finances whilst maintaining the security of its assets, allowing the directors time to pursue options for the development of the Company's Project and the investigation of other energy related projects. Licence Management As the exploration licences comprising the Project were due to expire during the reporting period, application was made to extend their term. The Department of Mines and Petroleum has granted a two year "Extension of Term" for the four exploration licences in the main tenement block (E63/934, 035,947 & 961) until the 6th July 2012. Since the applications were approved, and as the exploration licences continue to provide secure title over the lignite resources previously reported, the six mining lease applications were withdrawn to reduce holding costs. The non-contiguous exploration licence to the east of the main tenement area (E63/960) was relinquished on the 7th July 2010 as it was considered to have no further lignite mineralisation potential.

Kerr Anderson, Ormonde's Managing Director, said: "The drilling is progressing well with these initial results from the narrow southern extent of the deposit in line with our expectations. Following submission in January of initial permitting documentation and the application for a mining concession, our focus at Barruecopardo in the coming months is on advancing the required technical works and the permitting process for a Mining Concession. I look forward to reporting on-going progress on both fronts. Tungsten prices have continued to rise due to on-going supply shortages with the European tungsten APT price now quoted as US$368-372 per metric tonne unit (mtu), a rise of almost 50% in the past six months."

Main Points · All three holes encountered tungsten mineralisation with expected widths and grades in line with previously reported wider spaced holes in the narrower southern extreme of the deposit where these holes are located. · Results include 6 metres grading 0.5% WO3 (tungsten trioxide), 3 metres grading 0.8% WO3 and 2 metres grading 2.0% WO3. · A total of fifteen holes have been drilled to-date in this programme and drilling continues. Further assay results from this drilling will be released on a 4-5 week basis over the coming months. · Preparation of further documentation in the permitting process is progressing in close liaison with our Spanish consultants.

FUTURE PLANS -- Rambler is currently evaluating the possibility of utilizing gravity separation to improve the grade of the Lower Footwall Zone ore delivered to the mill and to also provide a source of paste backfill for the mining operation. If successful, this would significantly reduce the cost of transporting ore from the mine to the mill. This work is ongoing and is expected to be completed Q2 2011. -- An area of the Lower Footwall Zone can be accessed from the 1800 level. As the Ming Mine enters into commercial production, a larger bulk sample can be excavated from this area to further evaluate the zone's flotation kinetics and overall recovery. Preliminary bench scale testing has indicated that an overall copper recovery of 98% within a 5 minute reaction time can be achieved. The bulk sample program will provide a true representation of how the Footwall mineralization will behave in the new flotation circuit at Nugget Pond. -- The Lower and Upper Footwall Zones are open both in the up and down plunge directions. New diamond drill exploration programs are being designed to further improve the existing resource estimate. -- The current mine plan for the project does not include any of the resource from the Footwall Zones. The company has made plans to embark on a NI43-101 compliant preliminary economic assessment, which will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of a bulk tonnage mining scenario for the Footwall Zones.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO commented: "We believe the Footwall Zones will provide Rambler with the opportunity of organic growth, once the Ming Mine is in production. The Footwall Zone could be mined as a bulk tonnage operation to benefit from the economies of scale, due to its increased size and lower grade, compared to our current mine plan. The preliminary economic assessment for the Footwall Zones will evaluate mining scenarios between 2,000 and 4,000 mtpd and target potential production of 10,000 - 20,000 tonnes of copper metal annually. We believe an improvement in grades and metal produced may be achieved by blending massive sulphide ore with the Footwall Zone. Importantly, all ore and mineralized zones in the Ming Mine are open in multiple directions providing a good opportunity to further increase the available resources with new diamond drilling."

Key changes from the previous reported NI43-101 Resource Estimate (dated 26 August 2010) Lower Footwall Zone - An increase of 1.63 million tonnes which represents an additional 27,375 tonnes of contained copper, 403 ounces of gold and 53,827 ounces of silver in the indicated category. This represents an overall indicated resource increase of 21% which can be attributed to improved 3D modeling for both the mineralization and mafic dykes, and more advanced resource estimation techniques. - In the context of the Lower Footwall Zone sensitivity tables, it should be noted that any increase in the copper commodity price over the long term assumption of US$2.50/lb could potentially see cut-off grades reduced with a resulting significant increase in resources.

Michael Metcalfe, Chairman, commented: "Strontium has continued to focus on the growth of its existing businesses by expanding its client base during continuing difficult market conditions. Unfortunately,as foreseenin the 2010 Annual Report,uncertainty within the NHS has caused a reduction in the level of revenue from that sectorin the Period. T his reduction in sales from the NHS has almost entirely been replaced by increasedsales to non-NHS clients in the Period. "With thecombination ofMiad and The Learning Eye into a singleorganisationat one location and theestablishment of the new Learning Eye subsidiary in Switzerland,the Board is confident that Strontium is well placed to return to profitable growth."

Key Points: * Loss after tax and exceptional items was £108,568 (six months to 31 December 2009: £97,895 profit); * Revenue from continuing activities has decreased to £1,097,523 (six months to 31 December 2009: £1,131,092); * Cash at bank was down to £269,759 (31 December 2009: £358,777); and * Total assets down to £2,123,164 (31 December 2009: £2,251,447).

Performance at Media Square (MSQ) will be in-line with market expectations for the year ended 28th February 2011, the marketing and advertising services group announced as the trend of "solid profitability" witnessed in the first half of the year continued. The group also revealed that, following the disposal of its subsidiary arken POP, which was loss making during the year, annual operating profit will exceed market expectations.

MTI Wireless Edge (MWE), the flat panel antennas manufacture, expects to report a pre-tax loss of 650,000 dollars (398,773 pounds) for the full-year ended 31st December 2010 due to "unexpected negative cost variances". The group added that most of these cost variances - which amounted to approximately 350,000 dollars (214,724 pounds) - are one-off rather than recurrent. Despite this, the firm said trading in 2011 was expected to be in-line with its previous expectations. The shares were untouched at 13p.
