On 29 August, SolGold announced that it is continuing to pursue its strategy to become a globally important copper company by expanding its copper‐gold exploration portfolio in Ecuador. Additional tenements continue to be granted to SolGold’s four local subsidiary companies. These tenements cover the targets previously identified in the study of potential prospective porphyry centres throughout the northern Andean copper belt in Ecuador.
Teams of SolGold geologists are on the ground throughout Ecuador conducting initial baseline data collection and identifying prospective targets for aggressive follow‐up exploration.
As a result of these continuing initiatives, SolGold subsidiaries now hold a total of 59 granted tenements, for a combined ground position of 2,496 km[2] , in addition to the Company’s world class Cascabel Porphyry Project.

-
Hole 26 and 27 assay results.
-
Hole 26 and 27 results have extended the extent of known mineralisation at Alpala.
-
Alpala Northwest now presents second potential large block cave target.

-
Man‐portable drill rigs 6 and 7 mobilising to site from Cuenca, Southern Ecuador.
-
Drilling program expanding to 10 drill rigs by January 2018. Second drilling contractor signed.

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.
