PHNOM PENH – It was all about the class of Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas in last week’s English Premier League games, as our weekly fantasy manager competition winner Art Nolen demonstrated with his team Smart Kick. Selecting the Spanish midfielder as captain of his team last week earned Art a whopping 44 points, which he used to notch an impressive 88 points total. Aston Villa’s Richard Dunne also contributed 11 points to Art’s team, although Hull defender Kamil Zayatte (12 points) was agonisingly left on the bench. So, the Cellcard US$20 phone credit and T-shirt wings it way to Art as we enter another break for international games.

AUSTRALIAN miner Southern Gold reported a $3.56 million (US$3.16 million) after-tax loss for the financial year ended June 30 in its annual report Tuesday. The firm, which holds exploration licences for seven sites containing gold and base metals in northeastern Cambodia, lost A$3.10 million in 2008. The report said that “financing constraints delayed progress on a number of the company’s projects” but added that it still made progress that showed great potential. In Cambodia, the first significant gold intersections on the firm’s wholly owned Anchor Prospect were discovered, it said, vindicating its “early mover strategy” here.

THE mobile-phone sector concluded a meeting Monday afternoon that saw it make minor alterations to feedback on the draft telecoms law, an executive working in the sector said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. The private sector working group is now expected to submit the feedback to the government "in the next couple of weeks", he said. The sector has flagged proposed foreign-ownership caps and the transition phase to the new regulations as potential areas of concern, according to an earlier draft seen by the Post this week.
