Also released by Armour on 11 September 2015, following the execution of the American Energy Agreements, was a market update on the progress of the WestSide Takeover Bid and the opinion of the Armour Directors in relation thereto.

The entry into the Transaction Agreements with American Energy as outlined above has important implications for the conditions of Westside’s takeover bid for Armour. Armour’s entry into the American Energy Agreements constitutes a breach of the condition contained in paragraph (b) of Appendix 2 of the Westside Bidder’s Statement (“American Energy Condition”). The implication of this is that the Westside’s takeover bid may be withdrawn. Additionally, unless Westside waives the American Energy Condition, it is likely that the American Energy Condition of the Westside Bid cannot be satisfied.

With the above in mind, the Armour has made all of the Transaction Agreements conditional upon them being approved by Armour’s shareholders.

The Armour Board has re-iterated its advice to shareholders to REJECT the current Westside bid and to take no action in relation to any current offer paperwork.

The varying reasons set out by Armour’s Board are outlined in the full announcement, visible here: Update on Westside Bid

About DGR Global Limited

DGR Global’s business is the creation of resource exploration development and mining companies.

The business uses the skills of a core team of talented geoscientists to identify resource projects capable of yielding world class discoveries of attractive commodities.

This is achieved through:

  • The identification of commodities with a favorable 20 year price outlook.

  • Geological terranes with:

  • A demonstrated strong endowment for that commodity;

  • An under-explored history;

  • Opportunity for the application of recently developed exploration techniques;

  • Jurisdictions with improving socio-economic and regulatory frameworks;

  • Extensive available tenures.

DGR provides initial seed funding and management support to secure these assets in subsidiaries and develop these assets to more advanced funding stages. The Company has a pipeline of projects in daughter companies at various stages of emergence, and has recently crystalised a significant return through the sale of its 15% holding in Orbis Gold for $26million. Further development of its holdings in AIM listed SolGold and IronRidge Resources and ASX Listed AusTin Mining, Navaho Gold and Armour Energy and unlisted Archer Resources, are expected over the coming years.

The Company is currently involved in the search for safe high grade, high-yielding production operations in which to invest the bulk of its available cash resources.

DGR Global has commenced an intended program of judicious dividend payments to its shareholders. The future of the dividend program will depend on circumstances from time to time.

The previous resource exploration and funding activities of DGR’s key personnel underscore the opportunities provided by the DGR business model.
