DGR Global Limited

22 July 2013

Market Update of Global Resource Industry Interests

The Board of Directors of DGR Global Limited (ASX:DGR) is pleased to report the continued development of its wider global resource industry interests with the following recent developments. DGR Global is represented on the board of each of these investment interests and has provided varying degrees of corporate and technical support contributing to their initial and on‐going development.

In addition there are a number of unlisted subsidiaries in the DGR Global group which promote the opportunity for further world class discoveries. The most advanced example of which is IronRidge Resources, which holds prospective tenements in Queensland, as well as several prospective iron ore projects in Gabon; the first major tenement area being close to the giant Belinga Railway project, and a second site at Tchibanga, which is only 60km east of the Gabonese port of Mayumba.

It is important to note that DGR Global is not merely the collection of a series of investment assets. The DGR Global business model is focused on the repeatable process of generating commodity‐focused resource exploration companies and developing them from their early exploration stages through to independently financed, listed and managed companies. Projects are generated directly through the skills and experience of DGR Global’s team of exploration geoscientists, not by the costly purchase of properties. It is important to note that the timeframe from value creation to value realization within the resource industry is sometimes variable and unpredictable. However, the project generation process championed by DGR Global is typically a cheaper route to ultimate value realization than the acquisition of projects on the open market.

Orbis Gold Limited (DGR: 39 million shares: 18%)

  • Continuing high grade drill assay results confirm a “company making” gold discovery at the Natougou prospect in the Boungou Project Area in east Burkina Faso. Drilling to date covers 1.07km[2] with an average gold intersection depth of 59m. This high grade flat‐lying, near‐surface mineralisation presents an opportunity for large scale open pit mining. Snowden Mining Consultants have been appointed to undertake resource modelling, and a JORC compliant maiden resource is expected to be announced within coming weeks. Orbis Gold has appointed Lycopodium to undertake a Scoping Study on development of the Natougou deposit, and this is expected to be completed by late September this year.

  • New gold mineralised structures have been discovered at the Tankoro and Bantou prospects within the Dynikongolo Project Area in south west Burkina Faso. At Bantou, the main lode and hanging wall structures have now returned high grade assay results from over 700m strike and 160m depth, with the deposit open in both directions.

  • Recent drill assay results have also continued to add ounces at the high grade Nabanga gold project in south east Burkina Faso. Nabanga has a maiden inferred resource of 3.2 Mt @ 6.5 g/t gold for 660,000 oz contained gold.

  • Full details are contained within the Orbis Gold market releases of 17 June and 5, 8, and 16 July 2013 or by reviewing same at www.orbisgold.com.au

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. These efforts are now being dedicated to DGR Global.

DGR Global currently holds 75 million shares (25%) in Armour Energy Limited (ASX: AJQ) currently focused on the discovery and development of world class gas resources in northern Australia, 39 million shares (18%) in Orbis Gold Limited (ASX: OBS) currently exploring for gold in Burkina Faso, 46 million shares (10.9%) in SolGold plc (LSE: SOLG) currently exploring for gold and copper in the Solomons, Ecuador and Queensland, 59.8 million shares (14%) in AusNiCo Limited (ASX: ANW) exploring for nickel sulphides, cobalt, gold and silver in Queensland and Tasmania, and 57 million shares (28%) in Navaho Gold Limited (ASX: NVG) exploring for Carlin style gold in Nevada and New Mexico (USA) and Queensland.

DGR Global is currently progressing the corporate development of Archer Resources Limited and IronRidge Resources Limited.

DGR Global currently has 331,059,886 shares on issue.
