CHAIRMANS REPORT
Dear Shareholder
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.

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:
-
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.
-
Each project or exploration strategy is held in a separate subsidiary.
-
Focused or specialist management for each project/commodity/strategy are engaged as required.
-
Project-specific finance is raised in the subsidiaries – it’s faster, and less dilutive to DGR.
-
When appropriate, the subsidiary can be separately capitalised – for example by an IPO.
-
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.
-
The projects tend to be very large – in this way the opportunity to make world class discoveries and efficiencies of scale is maximised.
-
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.
The current DGR Group corporate structure is shown in Figure 1.
==> picture [381 x 257] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1: DGR Global Limited Corporate Structure (30 June 2014)
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 is well advanced towards IPO and listing on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
New projects under development include applications for exploration permits targeting gold, silver, antimony, copper, uranium and rare earths.

REVIEW OF UNLISTED SUBSIDIARIES 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 ₂ /Fe/Al ₂ O ₃ )
- Extensive auger drilling program undertaken on titanium area in late 2012
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.
==> picture [239 x 322] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: IronRidge Resources Gabon Tenement Locations
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.

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 ⁶ hematite grading up to 62% in banded iron formations (BIF) over a conservative 10 km strike length .
==> picture [402 x 315] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Tchibanga – Exploration Permits and Falcon Gravity Data Coverage
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% TiO ₂ (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 ⁷ test results produced an intermediate product that may be suitable for hydrometallurgical processing .
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.
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.

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).
==> picture [284 x 362] intentionally omitted <==
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.
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 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.
At the Three Sisters Prospect on EPM 19379 (north of Calgoa) Archer has re-examined 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.
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
DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014

==> picture [106 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
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.
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 gold-silver 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.

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

Exploration Projects in Development
As highlighted earlier, DGR Global is continually evaluating new exploration projects. These are not announced until such time as an exploration concept has been internally tested and exploration tenements secured to protect the company’s intellectual property.
DGR Global wholly owned subsidiary Hartz Rare Earths Pty Ltd has a growing portfolio of exploration tenements prospective for uranium, gold and rare earths in north-west Queensland. These are held in two Projects areas – Westmoreland and South Boulia – as shown in Figure 12.

The northern EPMs of the South Boulia Project cover the Toolebuc formation which at this locality has the strongest and largest airborne uranium radiometric anomaly in Queensland (see Figure 13). The southern EPMs cover over 45 kilometres of highly anomalous strike directly along trend from already reported high values of heavy and light Rare Earths – Dysprosium Oxide, Neodymium Oxide, Praseodymium Oxide and Yttrium Oxide, along with high Strontium values. Four of the South Boulia tenements have now been granted, and initial field exploration is planned to be undertaken prior to the next wet season.

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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued)
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 NonExecutive 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.
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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued)
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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareprice atyear end | $0.04 | $0.10 | $0.06 | $0.024 | $0.03 |
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.
The current employment agreement with the Managing Director has a notice period of three (3) months. All other Executive employment agreements have a one month notice period. No current employment contracts contain early termination clauses. The terms of appointment for Non-Executive Directors are set out in letters of appointment.
Key Management Personnel are entitled to their statutory entitlements of accrued annual leave and long service leave together with any superannuation on termination. No other termination payments are payable.
Managing Director
DGR Global Ltd has an agreement with Samuel Capital Pty Ltd, an entity associated with Nicholas Mather and Nicholas Mather for the provision of certain consultancy services. Samuel Capital Pty Ltd will provide Nicholas Mather as the managing Director of DGR Global Ltd for a base fee of $199,413 per annum. There is no fixed term specified in this agreement.
Under the terms of the present contract:
-
Both DGR Global Ltd and Samuel Capital Pty Ltd are entitled to terminate the contract upon giving three (3) months written notice;
-
DGR Global Ltd is entitled to terminate the agreement upon the happening of various events in respect of Samuel Capital Pty Ltd’s solvency or other conduct or if Nicholas Mather ceases to be a Director of DGR Global Ltd;
-
The contract provides for a six monthly review of performance by DGR Global Ltd. The Company currently has not set any specific KPIs.
There is no termination payment provided for in the Executive Service Contract with Samuel Capital Ltd.

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).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
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 |
| Principle | 4 | Safeguard integrity in financial reporting |
| 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.
At the date of this report:
In accordance with the Council’s definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following Directors are considered to be independent:
| Name | Position |
|---|---|
| Bill Stubbs | Non-Executive Chairman |
| Vince Mascolo | Non-Executive Director |
In accordance with the Council’s definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following Directors are not considered to be independent:
| Name | Position | Reason for non-compliance |
|---|---|---|
| Nicholas Mather | Executive Director | Mr Mather is employed by the Company in an Executive |
| capacity | ||
| Brian Moller | Non-Executive Director | Mr Moller is a principal of a material professional advisor to |
| the Company |
DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014

==> picture [106 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
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.
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.
The term in office held by each Director in office at the date of this report is as follows:
Name Term in office Nicholas Mather 12 years, 11 months Bill Stubbs 4 years, 9 months Brian Moller 12 years, 1 month Vincent Mascolo 11 years, 7 months
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.
Remuneration and Nomination Committees
The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee to:
-
Discharge the Board’s responsibilities in relation to remuneration of the Company’s Executives; and
-
Determine the state of Director Nominees for election to the Board, to identify and recommend candidates to fill casual vacancies.
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
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 Committee also provides the Board with additional assurance regarding the reliability of financial information for inclusion in the financial reports. All members of the audit committee are Non-Executive Directors.
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:
-
Vincent Mascolo (chairman of Audit and Risk Management Committee)
-
Brian Moller
-
Bill Stubbs
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 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 Audit and Risk Management Charter has been made publicly available on the Company’s website.
Risk Management
The Company has developed a basic framework for risk management and internal compliance and control systems which cover organizational, financial and operational aspects of the Company’s affairs. Further detail of the Company’s risk management policies can be found under the Role of the Audit and Risk Management Committee available as part of the Company’s Corporate Governance Policies (www.dgrglobal.com.au).
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.
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.
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.
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:
-
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.
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.

Diversity Policy
The Company has established a Diversity Policy in accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance recommendations. 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.
The Company aims to attract, nurture and develop the collective skills and diverse experience and attributes of personnel within the Company.
When the Board considers that the Company to be of sufficient size, having regard to the nature and scale of its operations, it will seek to develop, measure and monitor strategies, initiatives, programs and objectives for the achievement of diversity within its personnel, executives and Board as appropriate.
Notwithstanding its Diversity Policy, the Company will maintain the principal criteria for the selection and promotion of current and prospective employees as their prospect of adding value to the Company and enhancing the probability of the Company achieving its business objectives, having regard to their relative experience, and the nature of the industry in which the Company operates.
The Board believes that the Company is not currently of a sufficient size to warrant the establishment of formal measureable diversity objectives. However, the Company is pleased to report the following statistics in line with the ASX Corporate Governance recommendations:
| Number of Females at Board Level: | Nil (0%) |
|---|---|
| Number of Females at Executive Level: | 1 (9%) |
| Number of Female Employees (including Executives): | 3 (27%) |
Other Information

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Corporate Information
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 .
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 financial statements and notes of DGR Global Ltd comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Going concern
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.
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.
Reporting basis and conventions
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(b) Basis of Consolidation
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”).
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 with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 of the owners of the parent.
Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(b) Basis of Consolidation (continued)
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 Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition 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 post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
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.
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.
Joint Arrangements
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.
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.
Changes in Ownership Interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling 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 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 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.
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.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
(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.
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.

(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.
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.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
(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 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 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
-
Available-for-sale financial assets comprise investments in listed and unlisted entities and nonderivatives 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.
(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 derecognized 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.

(g) Financial Instruments (continued)
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 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.
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.
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.
(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.
Depreciation
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 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:
Class of property, plant & equipment Depreciation Freehold building 2.5% Straight line Plant and equipment 10% -35% Straight line Computers and office equipment 33.3% Straight line Furniture and fittings 20% Straight line Motor vehicles 25% Straight line
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.
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.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
(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.
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.
(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.

Accounting Policies (continued)
(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 to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
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.
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.
Employee benefits
(i) 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.
(ii) 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.
(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.
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.
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.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(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.
(o) Share-Based Payments
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 ("equitysettled transactions").
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-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.
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.
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.
(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:
Services
Management fees are recognised as services are provided.
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 expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
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.
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.

Accounting Policies (continued)
(q) Income Tax (continued)
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 deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised.
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.
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.
(r) GST
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, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
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.
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.
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.
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
-
The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(u) Comparatives
When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year .
(v) Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, 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.
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 non-financial 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.
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.
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. 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.
(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.

(w) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
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 parties. Changes to the provision is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time.
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.
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.

Convertible Notes
DGR Global Ltd issued 500,000 $1.00 convertible notes to raise $500,000 on 16 November 2012. The notes are convertible to ordinary shares in DGR Global or into a basket of shares in listed unencumbered entities held by DGR Global (calculated based on the proportional value of the basket of shares held by DGR), at the Noteholder’s election up until 16 July 2015. The number of shares to be converted will be dependent on the conversion price, which is the higher of $0.12 or 8% of the last published net tangible asset value of DGR’s investments. If the Noteholder elects to convert into a basket of shares, the proportional value of the basket will be determined by the 5 day VWAP of the listed unencumbered shares. The convertible notes are presented in the balance sheet as follows:

Nature and Purpose of Reserves
(i) Share-based Payments Reserve
The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the grant date fair value of options issued to employees and other service providers.

The change in proportionate interest reserve is used to recognise differences between the amount by which noncontrolling interests are adjusted and any consideration paid or received which may arise as a result of transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control.
(iii) Available-for-Sale Financial Assets Reserve
Changes in the fair value of investments, such as equities, classified as available-for-sale financial assets, are recognised in other comprehensive income, as described in note 1(g) and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. Amounts are reclassified to profit or loss when the associated assets are sold or impaired.

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.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 30. Financial Risk Management (continued)
(a) General Objectives, Policies and Processes (continued)
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:
(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.

Note 30. Financial Risk Management (continued)
(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:

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of DGR Global Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of DGR Global Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001,

In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of DGR Global Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the consolidated entity’s tenements, and/or sale of non-core assets. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
