AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS NUMBER

The past year has seen the broader resource industry, and the junior exploration sector in particular, continue to be blighted by poor equity market and commodity price conditions across the globe. This of course is not the first time I have experienced such conditions in my many years of involvement in the Australian resource industry. Equities indexes and commodity prices tend to move in multi-year cycles. Talent, experience and persistence are the defining attributes required by management to navigate their company through the downward trends in these cycles.

As I have mentioned in a previous report, most successful listed resource companies are built on the back of projects that were not necessarily part of their original portfolio. This is not to criticize the selection and quality of any company’s “founding” projects; more to point out that insightful and fleet-footed management often plays a pivotal role in reversing or further progressing a company’s (and by definition its shareholders’) fortunes.

In the context of the DGR Global business model, these truths are well illustrated by Orbis Gold Ltd.

Orbis Gold was originally “conceived” by DGR Global back in 2006, and remained within the DGR Global group structure until its Initial Public Offering as Mt Isa Metals Ltd in August 2008. The Company was predominantly floated on the basis of its Copper Gold projects in the Mt Isa region. In the first half of 2010, after a careful analysis of results flowing from the its current projects, and consideration of the broader trends emerging in the global resources industry, Orbis Gold announced a change of direction and a new strategy primarily focussed on gold exploration in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

The past four years have seen Orbis Gold successfully exploit its tenement position in Burkina Faso, develop enviable (and growing) gold resources, undertake a Scoping Study and commence work on a Definitive Feasibility Study for its leading project.

Corporately, Orbis Gold was floated at a price of 20 cents a share in August 2008. The share price hit a low of 4 cents during the GFC in 2009, and ahead of the Company’s game-changing West African gold exploration strategy which was rolled out in 2010. Last week, Orbis Gold announced a substantial $20m capital raising at a price of 42 cents a share, representing a 12% premium to its 3 month share price VWAP.

During the period from the Company’s inception to now, DGR Global has retained a significant equity stake in Orbis Gold and a seat on the Board of Directors. Six years have now elapsed since the Company’s stock market debut.

I cite this familial example of the factors I mentioned at the beginning of my address in order to demonstrate the longer-term evolution of exploration companies, and to assure you that DGR Global management remain focussed on the similar restoration of value across the broader group of listed and unlisted project companies. I believe that we possess the talent, energy, insight and experience to succeed in doing so. However, as was the case with Orbis Gold, these things do not happen overnight. Your continued patience and support as a shareholder is appreciated by DGR Global’s Board and management.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Exploration Licence areas in the onshore Otway and Gippsland Basins in Victoria.

Iron-Titanium

  • IronRidge Resources Limited (DGR 46% at 30 June) successful in securing substantial exploration tenements for iron ore in Gabon, West Africa. Initial exploration results from Belinga Sud and Tchibanga indicate potential large tonnage of high grade iron ore. Tchibanga is 60 km from the port of Mayumba.

  • Navaho Gold Ltd (DGR 59 million shares – 21.5%) subsidiary NavGas Pty Ltd currently holds applications for six Petroleum Exploration Licences covering more than 13 million acres in South Australia. As part of the recent detailed review of historical data for the South Australian shale gas project applications, records of an area of historic oil shows extending over 70km[2] at Wilkatana (within NavGas’ PELA 631) have been revealed, which may subsequently have remained unexplored for the past 50 years[5] .

  • Further exploration at Monogorilby, Qld reveals significant weathered tuff material containing Titanium Dioxide – metallurgical recovery testing program planned.

Gas-Oil

  • NavGas granted ATP1183 Roma Shelf in Qld – highly prospective for oil, gas and condensate, and surrounds existing producing oil fields with close proximity to existing pipeline infrastructure.

  • Armour Energy Ltd (DGR 75 million shares - 25% at 30 June) holds over 130,000 km[2] of exploration licences in the Northern Territory and NW Queensland that is very prospective for conventional and tight shale oil and gas. In Queensland in the last year, the Company drilled the Egilabria 2 vertical and lateral well, with resultant gas analysis showing high methane and very low CO2, and helium recorded up to 6% in isotube gas samples. The Egilabria 4 vertical well was subsequently drilled to 1,839 metres and results proved the presence of gas off structure and a continuous gas play in the Lawn Hill Shale, whilst significant gas shows were encountered in the deeper Riversleigh Shale that extends across ATP 1087. Significant Queensland Government Tenure Reforms Improved Armour’s Tenement Value in Queensland with a 2 year extension to the ATP1087 licence term granted.

Introduction

Since late 2006 when it re-defined its business model, DGR Global Limited (DGR or the Company) has firmly established its credentials as a generator of exploration and development companies in a wide array of minerals in Australia and overseas. Other companies have several projects but DGR offers several distinct points of difference which gives the DGR Group competitive advantages:

  1. DGR generates its projects directly through the skills and experience of its team of accomplished geoscientist explorationists (evident by the experience and track record of senior management as outlined elsewhere in this report), thus avoiding the costly capital expense of purchasing projects.

  2. Armour Energy increased its stake in Lakes Oil NL (ASX: LKO) to 18.6% fully diluted, and earned in to Petroleum

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

  1. The exploration concepts are often novel. While increased metals prices and advances in technology can turn former sub economic deposits into viable projects, DGR’s subsidiary projects frequently involve reassessment of large data bases with new angles and different focus. Again, while existing models might be applied to a new area alternatively new exploration models may be developed and applied to extensive exploration areas which can lead to the discovery of nationally important mineral provinces.

  2. Each project or exploration strategy is held in a separate subsidiary.

  3. Focused or specialist management for each project/commodity/strategy are engaged as required.

  4. Project-specific finance is raised in the subsidiaries – it’s faster, and less dilutive to DGR.

  5. When appropriate, the subsidiary can be separately capitalised – for example by an IPO.

  6. Investors can choose to either invest specifically in a project/commodity by investing in the subsidiary or, by investing in DGR, they can invest in the resource company generating business as well as having the substantial indirect carried interest via the significant DGR equity retained in the subsidiaries. This way DGR and its subsidiaries offers appeal to a wider range of investors.

  7. The current DGR Group corporate structure is shown in Figure 1.

Reviewing the DGR business model and strategy as applied over the past year, the Company can positively report on significant advances by companies which were created by DGR and in which we hold a significant ongoing investment, and by subsidiary company IronRidge Resources Limited which continues to pursue its listing ambitions.

  1. The projects tend to be very large – in this way the opportunity to make world class discoveries and efficiencies of scale is maximised.

New projects under development include applications for exploration permits targeting gold, silver, antimony, copper, uranium and rare earths.

and Projects

IronRidge Resources Limited

IronRidge is focused on exploration for and development of large scale bulk commodities. The company has assembled a suite of assets in prospective, under-developed regions –

Gabon (three granted Authorisations de Prospection prospective for iron ore):

  • Exploration has commenced and initial sample assay results very encouraging

  • Proposed drilling program to confirm extent of mineralisation after IPO

DRC (Exploitation Permit prospective for iron ore):

  • MoU for 63.5% farm-in for Kasumbalesa Project

Australia (Granted EPMs prospective for Ni/Co and TiO/Fe/AlO):

  • Extensive auger drilling program undertaken on titanium area in late 2012

Figure 2: IronRidge Resources Gabon Tenement Locations

The IronRidge projects in Gabon, West Africa, are shown in the following Figure 2. Gabon is one of the richest nations in Africa, with an economy largely based on oil. It is however a recognised region for hosting iron ore, and the stable Gabonese Government is promoting mining investment. The country already has substantial rail and port infrastructure in place.

The Belinga Sud Authorisation de

Prospection (see Figure 3) covers 3,027 km² and hosts hematite in conventional Banded Iron Formations (BIF). It is directly south of the internationally-recognised Belinga Iron Ore Deposit (not held by IronRidge), and 150 km from the Trans-Gabonese rail line. The tenement contains several targets evident from magnetic anomalies and preliminary exploration, and the potential for an initial direct shipping (DSO) project.

The two Tchibanga Authorisations de Prospection (see Figure 4) covers 3,337 km² and are along strike from known iron occurrences. The area has not been subject to any “modern era” exploration. The tenement is proximate to the port of Mayumba.

During the year IronRidge acquired Falcon Gravity Data in the Tchibanga area. Sampling and mapping has confirmed a correlation of the characteristic signatures provided by magnetics, gravity and topography data, including the ability to differentiate between hematite and magnetite resources. Based on the Falcon data IronRidge secured an additional 1,400 km[2] exploration licence application giving 100% tenure over the gravity data area (see Figure 5). Noting a strong magnetic and gravity response similar to the known Milingui Iron Ore

deposit to the north west of the Tchibanga Permit, IronRidge completed an initial field exploration program in the Mont Pele area in the south eastern sector of the Tchibanga Permit. This confirmed the presence of hematite grading up to 62% in banded iron formations (BIF) over a conservative 10 km strike length[6] .

Figure 5: Tchibanga – Exploration Permits and Falcon Gravity Data Coverage

A review of earlier work on the Quaggy Prospect has led to a change in exploration focus and securing two additional exploration tenements further north at Glencoe. Quaggy presents a strong magnetic feature that can be traced under the overlying laterite and alluvial cover. Soil cover (derived from the underlying gabbro) to the east is strongly anomalous in copper, nickel, cobalt and associated platinum group metals. As shown in Figure 7, these sit over SAM conductors which are stronger to the west at the limit of the survey. The combination of geology, soil geochemistry and underlying conductors demonstrates a potential for a new nickel district similar to that recently discovered by Sirius Resources NL (Nova Prospect) in Western Australia. The Glencoe prospect to the north of Quaggy presents an even stronger magnetic layered gabbro feature with known Cu, Ni and PGMs than at Quaggy.

IronRidge’s exploration tenements in Australia are shown in Figure 6. They are clustered in two groups in the area west of Mundubbera in Queensland.

The southern group centered around Monogorilby is prospective for TiO2, with accompanying Fe and Al2O3. A drilling program undertaken in late 2011 at Monogorilby revealed that the top 11 metres of the deposit is extensive and homogeneous, averaging >4.5% TiO2 (max value 13.8%). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates the mineralogy of the titanium to be rutile and titanium associated with goethite, and preliminary metallurgical test results produced an intermediate product that may be suitable for hydrometallurgical processing[7] .

In late 2012 an extensive auger drilling program confirmed a much larger and thicker quantity of titanium rich tuff underlay the harder laterite material tested in the 2011 drilling program. A program to test metallurgical recovery of the titanium is being undertaken.

porphyries occur nearby at The Springs and Euri Creek. These are exposed at a slightly deeper level than at Stockyard and have stronger surface exposures.

Archer Resources Limited

Archer is focused on the discovery and development of porphyry copper gold silver molybdenum deposits in Eastern Australia. The company has 6 key project areas in eastern Qld – Mt Abbot, Gayndah and Calgoa (which already host encouraging drill intersections) and Drummond North, Pinnacles and Great Blackall (see Figure 8).

At the Three Sisters Prospect on EPM 19379 (north of Calgoa) Archer has reexamined a high level argillic altered system of mineralised breccia pipes. Rock and soil sampling at Three Sisters has also revealed a second Mo Cu Au target area that was never previously recognised.

==> picture [220 x 281] intentionally omitted <==

The Calgoa EPM 18451 covers two large porphyry copper systems, Marodian and Mt Suthers-Bullock Creek. Additionally, the EPM covers two large areas of gold only mineralisation associated with diorite porphyries – historically the Yorkeys and Colo goldfields.

Marodian is probably the largest untested copper molybdenum gold porphyry system in the south west Pacific. Within the 30 – 40 km² Cu Mo and Au zone (see Figure 10) there are widespread areas of breccia vein stockworks and disseminations of generally low grade but with locally richer patches that have supported small underground mines in the past. Historical surface geochemistry is incomplete, covering less than half the system, and rarely tested for gold. Porphyry copper deposits are normally tested with holes of 300m or deeper (due to the scale of the deposits) but no holes at Marodian are deeper than 100m and almost all are less than 60m. The deepest previous drilling (by the Qld Government) tested the underground workings around the former Lug I Noor mine at the western extremity of the Marodian system. These holes gave variable results but verified the existence of high grade structures within widespread sub economic grades.

Figure 8: Map showing location of Archer Resources exploration tenements in Eastern Queensland

The Mount Abbott Project area (west of Bowen, Qld) lies 30 km northeast along the strike trend of the recent high sulphidation Cu Au Ag discovery at Mount Carlton (Evolution). There are three porphyry copper moly gold centres known and all are believed to offer improving grades at depth.

DGR Global has shareholder approval to transfer an EL in the Central Lachlan Fold Belt near Bathurst, NSW to Archer Resources. This EL contains an exciting goldsilver Project at Caloola. The deepest historic drill hole CP10 stopped in mineralisation at 96m, later assaying 14m of 3.86 g/t Au from 82 metres.

As shown in Figure 9, the largest porphyry target is at Stockyard Creek where copper and moly is exposed only in the lowest topography, nestled between extensive hills of silica clay altered breccias. Two other

west of the traditionally recognised Zambian copper belt. It is immediately adjacent to the Lumwana Mine (Barrick) and contains historic copper occurrences.

Following the identification of 11 potential target areas, a local subsidiary DGR Zambia was incorporated to facilitate the application for exploration licences. Two licences have been granted (see Figure 11) and significant capital is now required to commence a comprehensive exploration program on each tenement.

Licence 17308-HQ-LPL is much larger, covering 950 km[2] , and is located in central Zambia in the Hook Intrusive Complex (IOCG Province). While a greenfields exploration project (no modern exploration), the licence area abuts Barrick’s (ex: Equinox) Mutapanda Permit area, with Blackthorn Resources Kitumba Prospect to the south of the Barrick licence area.

Licence 1699-HQ-LPL covers 50 km[2] and is located in the central north of Zambia in the ‘Domes’ Region, a new copper belt to the

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Remuneration Report (Audited)

Remuneration Policy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Executive team. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payments chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. Further details on the remuneration of Directors and Executives are set out in this Remuneration Report.

The Company aims to reward the Executive Director and Senior Management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company. The Board’s policy is to align Director and Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long-term incentives. During the year the Group did not engage the services of Remuneration consultants.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive Director and Senior Management remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. The Company’s specific policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Board members of the Company is as follows:

The Constitution of the Company provides that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the Company in general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as the Directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The aggregate remuneration currently determined by the Company is $350,000 per annum. Additionally, Non-Executive Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for properly incurred expenses.

If a Non-Executive Director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the Director, the Company may remunerate that Director by payment of a fixed sum determined by the Directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. However, no payment can be made if the effect would be to exceed the maximum aggregate amount payable to Non-Executive Directors. A Non-Executive Director is entitled to be paid travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Director’s or general meetings of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company.

All Directors have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Directors’ and Executive Officers’ Option Plan, subject to the approval of shareholders.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2014 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Executive Director and Senior Management Remuneration

The Company aims to reward the Executive Director and Senior Management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:

  • reward Executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;

  • align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders;

  • link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and

  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

The remuneration of the Executive Director and Senior Management may from time to time be fixed by the Board. The remuneration will comprise a fixed remuneration component and also may include offering specific short and long-term incentives, in the form of:

  • performance based salary increases and/ or bonuses; and/or

  • the issue of options.

During 2014 there were no performance based salary increases or bonuses paid and no options issued that were performance related.

All Directors and Executives have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Directors’ and Executive Officers’ Option Plan, subject to the approval of shareholders. All employees have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the DGR Global Employee Share Option Plan.

The remuneration of the Executive Director and Senior Management for the year ended 30 June 2014 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.

Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance

The Company and its subsidiaries’ principal activity is mineral exploration and accordingly does not generate any revenues from operations and historically has generated losses.

The Company listed on the ASX on 21 August 2003. The following table shows the share price at the end of the financial year for the Company for the last five (5) years:

2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Share price $0.04 $0.10 $0.06 $0.024 $0.03 at year end

During the year ended 30 June 2014 the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares ranged from a low of $0.023 to a high of $0.057.

There were no dividends paid during the 5 year period.

As the Company is still in the exploration and development stage, the link between remuneration, company performance and shareholder wealth is tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of metals prices and market sentiment toward the sector, and as such increases or decreases may occur quite independent of Executive performance or remuneration.

Employment Contracts

It is the Board’s policy that employment agreements are entered into with all Executive Directors, Executives and employees. Contracts do not provide for pre-determining compensation values or method of payment. Rather the amount of compensation is determined by the Board in accordance with the remuneration policy set out above.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Shares and options issued in DGR Global Ltd as part of remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2014

Remuneration Details (continued)

Performance income as a proportion of total remuneration

Shares and options are not issued based on performance criteria, as the Board does not consider this appropriate for a junior exploration company. Options are issued to the majority of key management personnel and executives to align comparative shareholder return and reward for Directors and Executives. There were no shares issued in DGR Global Ltd to Directors or Key Management Personnel during the year. The terms and conditions of the grant of options over ordinary shares affecting remuneration of Directors and other Key Management Personnel in this financial year or future reporting years are as follow:

Performance based bonuses are paid on set monetary figures, rather than proportions of salaries. The remuneration committee has set these bonuses to encourage achievement of specific goals that have been given a high level of importance in relation to the future growth of the consolidated Group.

The remuneration committee will review the performance bonuses to gauge their effectiveness against achievement of the set goals, and adjust future years’ incentives as they see fit, to ensure the most cost effective and efficient methods.

There were no bonus payments made during the year ended 30 June 2014 (2013: nil).

The Board of Directors of DGR Global Ltd is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of DGR Global Ltd on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

DGR Global Ltd’s Corporate Governance Statement is structured with reference to the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) Corporate Governance Council’s (the “Council”) “Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, 2nd Edition”, which are as follows:

Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Principle 2 Structure the Board to add value

Principle 3

Promote ethical and responsible decision making

  • Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

  • Principle 4

  • Principle 5

  • Make timely and balanced disclosure

  • Principle 6 Respect the rights of shareholders

  • Principle 7 Recognize and manage risk Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly

A copy of the eight Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations can be found on the ASX’s website.

Any departures to the Council’s best practice recommendations as at the date of this report, or throughout the year ended 30 June 2014, are set out below.

Board

The Board has adopted a formal Board charter that outlines the roles and responsibilities of Directors and senior Executives. The Board Charter has been made publicly available on the Company’s website.

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of Director held by each Director on office at the date of the Annual Report is included in the Director’s Report. Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 2.1 requires a majority of the Board should be independent Directors. The Corporate Governance Council defines and independent Director as a Non-Executive Director who is not a member of management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the independent exercise of their judgment.

In the context of Director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the Company and the individual Director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal or less than 10% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered included whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the Director in question to shape the direction of the Company’s loyalty.

Factors that may impact on a Director’s independence are considered each time the Board meets.

The term in office held by each Director in office at the date of this report is as follows:

For the whole of the current year, half of the Board were considered independent. DGR Global Ltd considers industry experience and specific expertise, as well as general corporate experience, to be important attributes of its Board members. The Directors noted above have been appointed to the Board of DGR Global due to their considerable industry and corporate experience. The Board believes that the Company is not currently of a sufficient size to warrant the inclusion of more independent Directors.

Trading Policy

The Directors of the Company are subject to a number of restrictions in relation to them dealing in Shares of the Company, all of which are incorporated in a Trading Policy which is part of the Company’s Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures. Directors can only deal in Shares in the Company during certain periods or in certain circumstances (e.g. a bonus issue), and then only after receiving written clearance for the intended transaction from the Chairman of the Board.

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable Directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee for the whole of the year, and to the date of this report are as follows:

Remuneration and Nomination Committees

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee to:

  • Vincent Mascolo (chairman of Audit and Risk Management Committee)

  • Discharge the Board’s responsibilities in relation to remuneration of the Company’s Executives; and

  • Brian Moller

  • Bill Stubbs

  • Determine the state of Director Nominees for election to the Board, to identify and recommend candidates to fill casual vacancies.

Recommendation 4.2 requires that the composition of audit committees comprise a majority of independent Directors and that the committee have at least three members. At all times during the year ended 30 June 2014 and until the date of this report, the Company did not satisfy these requirements, as Mr Moller is technically not considered “independent” as outlined above. The Board considers this matter immaterial to the conduct and good governance practices of the committee.

For the whole of the year, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee comprised all three Non-Executive Directors.

During the financial year there was no cause for the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to meet.

Audit and Risk Management Committee

For additional details of Directors’ attendance at Board and Audit and Risk Management Committee meetings and to review the qualifications of the members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, please refer to the Directors’ Report.

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee, which operates under a charter approved by the Board. It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial information as well as non-financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators. The Board has delegated the responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and ethical standards for the management of the Group to the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

The Audit and Risk Management Charter has been made publicly available on the Company’s website.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Recommendation 7.2 requires that the Board disclose that management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material business risks. Business risks are considered regularly by the Board and management. A formal report as to the effectiveness of the management of the Company’s material business risks has not been provided to the Board and is not considered necessary for the size and nature of the Company’s current activities.

Remuneration

It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team by remunerating Director and key Executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant and employment market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the Board links the nature and amount of Executive Director’s and Officer’s emoluments to the Company’s financial and operations performance. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are:

As required by Recommendation 7.3, the Board has received assurances from the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that they system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

  • Retention and motivation of key Executives;

  • Attraction of quality management to the Company;

  • Performance incentives which allow Executives to share the rewards of the success of the Company.

For details on the amount of remuneration and all monetary and non-monetary components for the Company’s (non-Director) Executives during the year, and for all Directors, please refer to the Remuneration Report within the Directors’ Report. In relation to the payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments, discretion is exercised by the Board, having regard to the overall performance of the Company and the performance of the individual during the period.

Performance Evaluation

The Remuneration and Nominations Committee considers remuneration and nomination issues annually and otherwise as required in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Board.

The performance of the Board is considered at regular meetings of the Board. No formal performance evaluation of the Directors was undertaken during the year ended 30 June 2014.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board believes that the Company is not currently of a sufficient size to warrant the establishment of formal measurable diversity objectives. However, the Company is pleased to report the following statistics in line with the ASX Corporate Governance recommendations:

There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation, to Non-Executive Directors.

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors themselves, subject to the Company’s constitution and prior shareholder approvals, and the Executive team. As noted above, the Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Number of Females Nil (0%) at Board Level:

Number of Females 1 (9%) at Executive Level: Number of Female 3 (27%) Employees (including Executives):

The Company recognizes and values the potential competitive advantages associated with diversity (including gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background) and the benefits of its integration throughout the Company.

Other Information

Further information relating to the Company’s corporate governance practices and policies has been made publicly available on the Company’s web site at: www.dgrglobal.com.au

The Company aims to attract, nurture and develop the collective skills and diverse experience and attributes of personnel within the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2014

financial statements and notes of DGR Global Ltd comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going concern

Corporate Information

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. At 30 June 2014 the Group had $37,186 in cash, a net working capital deficiency of $2,507,361 and had not generated significant revenues from operations. As such, the Group’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend upon a number of matters including subsequent successful raising in the future of necessary funding and the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements and investments. On 8 August 2014, in order to satisfy the Group’s short term funding needs, the Group sold 2,464,551 Orbis Gold Ltd shares at $0.38 to raise $936,529. The Directors are currently involved in a number of discussions with third parties with a view to securing a funding facility of up to $10 million to finance the Group’s generative and development program.

The consolidated financial report of DGR Global Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 30 September 2014.

DGR Global Ltd (the “Parent” or the “Company”) is a public company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company’s registered office is located at Level 27, One One One, 111 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Qld 4000. DGR Global Ltd is a for-profit entity.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the director’s report.

Basis of Preparation

This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

In the absence of these matters being successful, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern with the result that the Group may have to realize its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts different from those stated in the financial statements. No adjustments for such circumstances have been made in the financial statements.

The financial report covers the Group comprising of DGR Global Ltd and its subsidiaries and is presented in Australian dollars.

Compliance with IFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the

The Company anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information of new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Company’s financial statements is provided below.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends have been eliminated in full.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of DGR Global Ltd and its subsidiaries as at and for the period ended 30 June each year (the “Group”).

Investments in subsidiaries held by DGR Global Ltd are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of the parent entity less any impairment charges. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other revenues by the parent entity, and do not impact the recorded cost of the investment. Upon receipt of dividend

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

payments from subsidiaries, the parent will assess whether any indicators of impairment of the carrying value of the investment in the subsidiary exist. Where such indicators exist, to the extent that the carrying value of the investment exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

of the owners of the parent.

Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.

The difference between the above items and the fair value of consideration (including the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or discount on acquisition.

The Group’s share of its associates’ postacquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income where applicable. The cumulative postacquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Joint Arrangements

in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Joint Operations

The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of a joint operation activity have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

Joint Ventures

Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity’s share of net assets of the joint venture. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends receivable from joint venture entities reduces the carrying amount of the investment.

(c) Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Changes in Ownership Interests

The Group treats transactions with noncontrolling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of DGR Global Ltd.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value through profit and loss.

When the Group ceases to have control, or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable. Financial difficulties of the debtor or debts more than 90 days overdue are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured.

(d) Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This may include start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues.

(g) Financial Instruments

Recognition and Initial Measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Information about other operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

For the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

i. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

  • ii. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

(f) Trade and Other Receivables

Receivables generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

the net present value of future anticipated cash flows. In estimating these cash flows, management makes judgments about a counter-party’s financial situation and the net realisable value of any underlying collateral. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.

in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. These assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in the profit or loss.

iii. Available-for-sale financial assets

Impairment losses on assets measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method are calculated by comparing the carrying value of the asset with the present value of estimated future cash flows at the original effective interest rate.

Available-for-sale financial assets comprise investments in listed and unlisted entities and non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any other categories. After initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income.

Where there is objective evidence that an available for sale financial asset is impaired (such as a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an available for sale financial asset) the cumulative loss that has been recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. When a subsequent event reduces the impairment of an available for sale debt security the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. When a subsequent event reduces the impairment of an available for sale equity instrument the fair value increased is recognised in other comprehensive income.

iv. Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit of loss.

(h) Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, plant & equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of property, plant & equipment constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable costs. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial year in which they are incurred.

Impairment of financial assets

An assessment is made at each balance date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset or a group of financial assets may be impaired. If such evidence exists, the estimated recoverable amount of that asset is determined from available information such as quoted market prices or by calculating

a specific nexus with a particular area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

The depreciable amount of all property, plant & equipment is depreciated over their useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold

A regular review has been undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

A provision is raised against exploration and evaluation assets where the Directors are of the opinion that the carried forward net cost may not be recoverable or the right of tenure in the area lapses. The increase in the provision is charged against the results for the year. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are:

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the area from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structure, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

(i) Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but do not include overheads or administration expenditure not having

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

(j) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Employee benefits

v. Wages, salaries and annual leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

(k) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-60 days of recognition.

vi. Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wages and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(l) Provisions and Employee Benefits

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required

68

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

based payments reserve). The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the recipients become unconditionally entitled to the options. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. An expense is still recognised for options that do not ultimately vest because a market condition was not met.

(m) Leases

Leases of property, plant & equipment where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the Group are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the year.

Where the terms of options are modified, the expense continues to be recognised from grant date to vesting date as if the terms had never been changed. In addition, at the date of the modification, a further expense is recognised for any increase in fair value of the transaction as a result of the change.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease.

Where options are cancelled, they are treated as if vesting occurred on cancellation and any unrecognised expenses are taken immediately to the profit or loss. If new options are substituted for the cancelled options and designated as a replacement, the combined impact of the cancellation and replacement options are treated as if they were a modification.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(p) Revenue

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(n) Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit.

Services

(o) Share-Based Payments

Management fees are recognised as services are provided.

The Group may provide benefits to Directors, employees or consultants in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby services may be undertaken in exchange for shares or options over shares (“equity-settled transactions”).

Interest

Interest revenue is recognized as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the

The fair value of options granted to Directors, employees and consultants is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity (share-

expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(q) Income Tax

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance date.

DGR Global Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. DGR Global Ltd is responsible for recognising the current tax assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses for the tax consolidation group. The tax consolidated group have entered a tax funding agreement whereby each company in the tax consolidation group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidation group.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

(q) Income Tax (continued)

(r) GST

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the deferred tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly against equity respectively. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except where GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(u) Comparatives

the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

(v) Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or nonfinancial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principle market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(s) Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of consideration received net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For nonfinancial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

(t) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit (loss) attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair

value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

  • The after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation.

  • The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

parties. Changes to the provision is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time.

Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Key judgments – control of IronRidge Resources Ltd

DGR Global Ltd has assessed and determined that it controls IronRidge Resources Ltd. At 30 June 2014 DGR Global held 46% of the equity and voting rights of IronRidge Resources Ltd. DGR Global Ltd has determined that although it holds less than 50% of the voting rights it controls IronRidge Resources Ltd due to other factors including, other shareholdings in IronRidge Resources Ltd being widely dispersed with no other individual holding greater than 10% of the voting rights of the entity. Furthermore DGR Global Ltd and IronRidge Resources Ltd have two common directors being Mr Nicholas Mather and Mr Vincent Mascolo effectively controlling the IronRidge Resources Ltd Board of Directors consisting of a total of three directors.

(w) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key judgments – exploration & evaluation assets

The Group performs regular reviews on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. These reviews are based on detailed surveys and analysis of drilling results performed to balance date.

Key judgments – impairment of available for sale financial assets

Management review the carrying value of available for sale financial assets at the end of each reporting period to assess whether there is any objective evidence that the available for sale financial assets are impaired as a result of a loss event that has an impact on the estimated future cash flows. As part of this review, management reviews the listed market prices at the reporting date and up to the date of signing the financial statements. Where the listed market prices have improved subsequent to reporting date, management have determined that, since there is no impact on the estimated future cash flows from the temporary drop in listed market prices, no loss event has taken place and thus no impairment charge is required in the financial statements.

The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at 30 June 2014, the facts and circumstances do not suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. In considering this the Directors have had regard to the facts and circumstances that indicate a need for an impairment as noted in Accounting Standard AASB 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources”.

Exploration and evaluation assets at 30 June 2014 were $6,409,708 (2013: $5,249,390).

Key judgments – provision for restoration

A provision has been made for the anticipated costs for the future rehabilitation and restoration of the Mining Leases. The provision recognised is based on independent advice received from different

Note 27. Operating Segments

Segment information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 27. Operating Segments (continued)

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

(a) Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

(b) Inter-segment transactions

Corporate charges are allocated to segments based on the segments’ overall proportion of overhead expenditure within the Group. The Board of Directors believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost recoveries.

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

(c) Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

(d) Unallocated items

The following items of revenue, expenses and assets are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:

  • impairment of assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense

  • income tax expense

  • current and deferred tax

Segment reporting

The Group reports information to the Board of Directors along company lines. That is, the financial position of DGR and each of its subsidiary companies is reported discreetly, together with an aggregated Group total. Accordingly, each company within the Group that meets or exceeds the relevant threshold tests is separately disclosed below. The financial information of the subsidiaries that do not exceed the relevant thresholds outlined above, and are therefore not reported separately, is aggregated and disclosed as Other.

(a) General Objectives, Policies and Processes

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, receivables and payables, and shares in listed corporations.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. The Group’s risk management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these matters are set out below:

105 Annual Report 2014 | DGR Global

106

==> picture [305 x 24] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 30. Financial Risk Management (continued)

(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when counterparties fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. The Group’s objective is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk exposure.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, in the event other parties fail to discharge their obligations under financial instruments in relation to each class of financial asset at reporting date is the carrying amount in the statement of financial position which, for the relevant assets, is summarised in the table above.

Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the audit committee. It primarily arises from exposure to receivables as well as through deposits with financial institutions. There is no collateral held as security.

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Group. Bank deposits are held with Macquarie Bank, Westpac, Bank of Queensland, First National Bank Zambia and B.I.C.I. Du Gabon.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group will always have sufficient liquidity to meets its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions.

Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the audit committee.

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and liquidity ratios such as working capital. The Group’s working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, has decreased from a deficit of $1,125,612 in 2013 to a deficit of $2,507,361 in 2014. At 30 June 2014 the Group had a secured overdraft facility of $250,000.

(d) Market Risk

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk). The Group does not have any material exposure to market risk other than interest rate risk and other equity securities price risk.

Interest rate risk

The objective of interest rate risk management is to manage and control interest rate risk exposures with acceptable parameters while optimising the return. Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate instruments. For further details on interest rate risk refer to the tables below:

  • Available for sale financial assets reserve/other comprehensive income.

The analysis assumes all other variables remain constant. It also assumes the investment in SolGold plc, Lions Gate Metals Inc, Orbis Gold Ltd and Aus Tin Mining Ltd were remeasured to fair value on 30 June 2014 (and that the 10% change had occurred as at that date).

It should be noted that the investment in associate is not included in the above analysis as it is outside the scope of Accounting Standard AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, as it is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 128 Investments in Associates.

Note 31. Fair Value

Fair value hierarchy

The following table details the consolidated entity’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement being:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
