9 August 2021

Armour Uganda Oil Project Update

Recommencement of Exploration in Uganda

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Lifting of Force Majeure as a result of flooding and COVID-19 at Kanywataba

  • Exploration work recommences with 2D seismic survey to be undertaken

  • 100 line kilometres of infill 2D seismic to refine prospectivity observed in the Kanywataba block

DGR Global Limited (ASX:DGR, the Company) is pleased to announce that that exploration activity will recommence on Armour Uganda’s exploration project in Uganda.

Status of Ugandan Licence

Armour Energy Ltd was awarded the Kanywataba exploration licence ( EL 1/2017 ) by the Ugandan Government on 13 September 2017. EL 1/2017 was renewed on 13 September 2019 for a further period of 2 years. In October 2020 the renewed EL 1/2017 was transferred from Armour Energy Ltd to Armour Energy (Uganda) SMC Ltd ( Armour Uganda ).

Corporate Ownership and Structure

As at the date of this announcement the ultimate holding company of Armour Uganda is Armour Energy Ltd (ASX: AJQ). Armour Energy Ltd holds its interest in Armour Uganda via a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Armour Energy International Pty Ltd ( Armour International ). As announced on 19 September 2017, DGR Global has an 83.18% beneficial interest in the Armour Uganda Oil Project. In due course, so many shares in Armour International will be issued to DGR that it will hold 83.18% of the issued share capital of Armour International. Armour Energy will hold the remaining 16.82% of Armour International, and Armour International will retain ownership of 100% of the issued share capital of Armour Uganda.

Declaration of Force Majeure rescinded

It was a condition of the renewal of EL 1/2017 that the licensee complete a 2D seismic survey during the second term of the licence. On 15 October 2019, Armour Energy Ltd wrote to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Development of the Ugandan Government ( the Minister ) declaring that it was suspending work on the 2D seismic survey as a result of severe flooding in the area of operations. This flooding constituted an event of Force Majeure (as defined under the Production Sharing Agreement between Armour Energy Ltd and the Government of Uganda).

In early 2020, the actions taken by numerous governments and businesses in response to the spread of the COVID 19 virus caused severe disruption (and in some cases cessation) of world supply chains and international travel. Accordingly, Armour Energy Ltd was again prevented from continuing its work on the 2D seismic survey and again wrote to the Minister declaring that it was suspending work on the 2D seismic survey as a result of an event of Force Majeure.

Armour Energy Ltd has now written to the Minister indicating that it will recommence work on the 2D seismic survey. One effect of the two notices to the Minister declaring Force Majeure, is that the periods of time during which the event of Force Majeure prevented Armour Energy Ltd from carrying out the 2D seismic survey will be added to the renewed term of EL 1/2017. Accordingly, instead of the renewed term of EL 1/2017 expiring on 13 September 2021, the term will be extended into calendar year 2022 or 2023.

Teclab Limited has been contracted by Armour to conduct the 2D seismic survey of the Kanywataba exploration acreage. The survey is expected to take approximately three months to complete in advance of the wet season.

Updates will be provided to the market as the exploration program at Kanywataba proceeds.
