DGR Subsidiary Secures Tenements in Gabon

The Directors of DGR Global (DGR) are pleased to announce that its subsidiary company, IronRidge Resources Ltd (IronRidge or IRR), has been granted two Autorisation de Prospection (Authority to Prospect) in Gabon: Belinga Sud and Tchibanga, representing the culmination of seven months’ work and providing IronRidge with an exciting new strategic direction in iron ore exploration.

Gabon is located on the central west coast of Africa, a region becoming increasingly recognised for iron ore prospectivity and host to numerous projects including Mbalam/Nabeba (Sundance ASX: SDL), Mayoko Moussondji (Equatorial Resources ASX: EQX) and Kango North (Apollo Minerals ASX: AON). Belinga Sud is located in eastern Gabon and Tchibanga is located in the south west.

The 3,027km² Belinga Sud Autorisation de Prospection is strategically located immediately south of the concession hosting the Belinga Iron Ore Deposits, which contain an estimated combined resource of 860Mt @ 63% Fe[1] . The Belinga Sud Autorisation de Prospection contains a large tract of the greenstone belt that hosts the rich iron deposits less than 20km to the north. Within this area there are mapped iron formations and several documented iron occurrences. Geophysical data highlights strong magnetic anomalies in the area and in particular a significant southern extension where an outlying greenstone belt is considered to be highly prospective for additional iron formations over a strike length in excess of 35km. The Belinga Sud Autorisation de Prospection is within 85km of the existing Trans‐Gabonese rail route, currently used for bulk haulage from the southern town of Franceville to the Port at Owendo, 15km south of the capital, Libreville.

The 2,937km² Tchibanga Autorisation de Prospection is situated within the western limb of the Neoproterozoic Nyanga syncline, and incorporates both a significant magnetic anomaly and two iron occurrences. Outside of the ‘traditional’ greenstone iron formations, this target is founded on a different exploration concept – that of iron‐ore development in younger iron formations underlain by carbonates. Proof of concept is demonstrated by a number of iron occurrences at a similar stratigraphic level along the western limb of the syncline. The tenure is less than 10km from the coastline and the port of Mayumba, and as such even a modest resource would represent a project of significant value to IronRidge.

The projects were generated by DGR Global using the services of its New Opportunities Group based in London, UK. IronRidge will be presenting the projects and management team to the market in further detail in August 2012, following an initial field appraisal of Belinga Sud.

IronRidge will immediately commence a preliminary exploration program at Belinga Sud and follow‐up a program at Tchibanga later in 2012.

DGR Global currently owns 50.4 million shares (approximately 56.5%) in IronRidge Resources Ltd.

About DGR Global Limited

DGR Global Limited is focused on generating exploration and development companies in a wide array of minerals.

Projects are conceived directly through the skills and experience of DGR Global’s accomplished team of exploration geoscientists (with an enviable track record), not by the costly purchase of properties. Each project or exploration strategy is held in a separate subsidiary.

Focused and specialist management is then engaged in the subsidiary, with project specific finance raised in the subsidiary – faster and less dilutive to DGR Global. As the subsidiary project develops and starts to derisk the subsidiary is separately capitalised (seed raisings followed by an IPO).

Investors can choose to invest specifically in a particular project/commodity, or by investing in DGR Global, invest in the resource company generating business which retains a significant carried interest in each project.

DGR Global projects tend to be very large, targeting new provinces with the potential to make world‐class discoveries. The exploration concepts are often novel. While increased metal prices and advances in technology can turn former sub‐economic deposits into viable projects, DGR Global subsidiary projects frequently emerge from detailed reassessment and reinterpretation of large databases – looking at things from a new angle and with a different focus using state of the art techniques. The DGR Global Directors and Managers have in the past applied new exploration models to extensive tenement areas which have led to identification of new mineral provinces and the discovery of nationally significant resources. Similar efforts are now being dedicated to DGR Global.

DGR Global currently holds 50 million shares (30.6%) in Mt Isa Metals Limited (ASX: MET) currently exploring for gold in Burkina Faso, 33 million shares (10.5%) in SolGold plc (LSE: SOLG) currently exploring for gold and copper in the Solomons and Queensland, 60 million shares (41.5%) in AusNiCo Limited (ASX: ANW) exploring for nickel sulphides, cobalt, gold and silver in south east Queensland, 27 million shares (29%) in Navaho Gold Limited (ASX: NVG) exploring for Carlin style gold in Nevada (USA) and Queensland and 75 million shares (25%) in Armour Energy Limited (ASX:AJQ) dedicated to the discovery and development of world class gas resources in an extensive new province in Northern Australia.

DGR Global is currently progressing the corporate development of Archer Resources Limited (focussing on copper‐ gold‐silver porphyry systems) and IronRidge Resources Limited .

DGR Global currently has 324,202,760 shares on issue.
