14 October 2016

DGR Business Update

The Board of Directors of international resource company creator, DGR Global Limited ( the Company; ASX: DGR ), is pleased to provide the following update with regard to the Company’s interest in its some of its sponsored listed entities.

SolGold plc | LSE(AIM): SOLG – DGR 16.97% ‐ 207.4m Shares

On 10 October 2016, SolGold announced that it had received a proposal from BHP Billiton to acquire 10% interest in the company for US$30 million which implied a share issue price for SolGold of approximately US$0.22.

Also part of the proposal was BHP’s offer to earn‐in to the Cascabel Project by spending US$275Million to acquire a controlling interest of 70% out of SolGold’s 85% interest in Exploraciones Novomining S.A (ENSA) which company currently holds the Cascabel project tenements.

The Board of SolGold (with Scott Caldwell abstaining due to his personal interest and that of Guyana Goldfields Inc. through participation in the US$33 million financing with Maxit and Newcrest), after examination of the BHP proposal and consultation with its legal advisors, determined that the BHP proposal was not in the best interests of SolGold and its shareholders, and was not a superior proposal in comparison to the previously announced US$33 million financing with Maxit and Newcrest for a number of reasons.

The full details of the SolGold announcement can be found here: SolGold Receives Investment Proposal from BHP Billiton

On 13 October 2016, SolGold held an EGM in Brisbane, and shareholder approval was obtained for resolutions associated with SolGold’s capital raising plans as covered in DGR Global’s previous market release of 27 September 2016.

SolGold will now move to settle the US$33 million raising with Newcrest International and Maxit Capital, and move forward with its comprehensive program of field work for the Cascabel Project.

Based on last night’s closing price in London of 18.6 pence, DGR Global’s 207.4 million shares in SolGold are currently worth approximately AUD62 million, providing liquid asset backing of approximately 11 cents per DGR Global share.

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 in 2015 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, Dark Horse Resources and Armour Energy, and unlisted Archer Resources, are expected over the coming years.

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.
