Subsidiary Identifies Strong Gold and Cobalt Targets During Initial Field Work
The Directors of DGR Global Limited (ASX: DGR) wish to advise that its wholly owned subsidiary Coolgarra Minerals Pty Ltd (Coolgarra) has identified several strong gold and cobalt targets during initial field work on EPM 19270 north west of Charters Towers, Qld.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Large gold soil anomalies at Wally’s Hope Prospect, with a one metre wide surface exposure of non‐veined sediments assaying 40.3 g/t (grams per tonne) gold – over 1¼ ounces per tonne
-
Potential for “Carlin” style disseminated gold in altered calcareous sediments
-
Walk up drill targets accessible from existing tracks
-
Surface cobalt and manganese rocks at Wade’s Prospect assayed 1.1% Cobalt, 0.13% Copper and 0.54% Nickel
-
Substantial gold and cobalt soil anomalies at Wade’s, with maximum soil cobalt of 0.13% and soil gold of 1.1 g/t
Coolgarra Minerals Pty Ltd holds 2 Exploration Permits (EPMs) and 4 EPM applications for gold, cobalt, nickel and antimony mainly north west of Charters Towers and south west of Greenvale in Qld as shown in Figure 1. After the completion of a detailed examination of available historical data an initial field exploration program was undertaken on the granted southern EPM 19270 late in 2016, the results of which have now been received.

The initial exploration program was focused around several historical small scale mining areas, in particular Wally’s Hope and Janelle’s Hope Prospects in the southern section of EPM 19270, and what is recorded as a long (several kilometres) stratabound gold occurrence in the northern section now referred to as Wade’s Prospect.
Figure 2 is a satellite image of the southern section of EPM 19270 showing the soil grid lines, where each red diamond indicates a soil sample taken and assayed. A macro overview of the soil gold concentrations is evident by plotting the soil gold contours at >25 ppb (parts per billion), > 50 ppb, and > 100 ppb.

Figure 3 shows a close up view of the Wally’s Hope Prospect on the left in Figure 2. To make the image as uncluttered as possible the soil grid lines and background have been removed. Individual rock chip samples have been included (black stars) and higher grade assay results are shown in ppm (parts per million) or g/t. The rock chip samples were predominately focused on quartz vein outcrop, though a channel sample across a one metre width of non‐veined sediments (shown as “Photo Site”) returned an incredible assay of 40.3 g/t (or over 1¼ ounces per tonne) – see Figure 4 below.

Figure 4: High grade gold in non‐veined sediments –western section of Wally’s Hope (see Figure 3)
The Wally’s Hope Prospect clearly presents several walk up gold drill targets which are accessible from existing tracks on the EPM. As evident from the underlying geology shown in Figure 3, the gold would seem to occur mainly as disseminations in calcareous sediments, and over several kilometres. The potential therefore exists for a large scale gold discovery.
Figure 5 shows an overview of the northern section of EPM 19270 on magnetic imagery. Again, the red diamonds indicates a soil sample taken and assayed. Stream sediments were also taken for cobalt, and several rock chip samples are shown by the blue dots. Coolgarra Minerals has an uncontested application for an exploration permit over the northern extension of the Wade’s Prospect where historical data suggests the gold mineralization continues stratabound for several kilometres beyond the recent exploration.

Figure 6 (below) focuses on the gold mineralization revealed at Wade’s Prospect. As indicated in Figures 2‐5, the red diamonds indicate soil samples taken and assayed, with the black stars showing rock chip samples. As revealed at the Wally’s Hope Prospect much further south, the soil sampling indicates that the gold occurs as disseminations within calcareous sediments. The highest gold in soil recorded was 1.1 ppm, or 1.1 g/t. The company considers this to indicate “Carlin” style potential. Quartz veins did not return gold values over 0.3 g/t.

Figure 6: Gold Mineralization at Wade’s Prospect on EPM 19270
Wade’s Prospect has equally demonstrated that it is highly prospective for cobalt. As shown in Figure 7 below, the soil sampling revealed extensive cobalt mineralization, with a maximum soil result of 0.13% Co. To the north of the cobalt mineralized area revealed by the soil sampling, rock chip sampling of asbolite float (location shown by purple star, and in Figure 8) assayed 1.1% Co, 0.13% Cu and 0.54% Ni.

As with the Wally’s Hope Prospect further south on EPM 19270, Wade’s Prospect clearly presents several walk up drill targets for gold and cobalt. DGR Global will now consider the forward exploration program and options for funding an initial drill campaign later in the year.

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