Some Emerging World Trends

Everything points to energy. Energy comes in many – and new – forms.

2017 AGM Presentation

Some Emerging Global Trends

The Electric Vehicle (EV) revolution is coming! Localised power generation and storage. Increasing global population. Increasing urbanisation. Increasing living standards in developing counties. Increasing life expectancies.

Rapid technology changes impacting all aspects of our lives.....yet many of the “building blocks” of these trends are ultimately dependent on resources.

==> picture [54 x 88] intentionally omitted <==

Resources Remain Relevant

Global urbanisation is increasing at an unprecedented rate which is creating an enormous demand for natural resources. As the World moves to urbanise and electrify, resource commodities will be a key focus for long term growth and sustaining growth and lifestyles.

Accounting Standards May Impact DGR Balance Sheet

IronRidge } Dark Horse Resources } Armour Energy }

Equity Accounted – AASB 128

Balance Sheet valuation is “capped” at the market value of the investment at the time of its deconsolidation (usually its IPO), less DGR’s share of its annual losses, plus the cost of any fresh investment. For 2017, this means that the “uplift” in the value of the investment in IronRidge is not fully reflected in the DGR Balance Sheet.

SolGold } Aus Tin Mining } Lakes Oil }

Financial Assets at Fair Value – AASB 9

Marked to market each financial year. In broad terms, DGR’s

investments are treated as “available for sale” where the level of the investment is less than 20% and is not intended to exceed 20% in the future.
