Successful Strategic Placement
Business Update
DGR Global Limited (ASX:DGR, the Company) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed a $3m strategic placement, and has initiated a strategic review of its future funding alternatives and its business structure and operating model.
Current Investment Overview
DGR Global has an extensive portfolio of liquid assets of approximately A$150m on a pre-tax basis equating to approximately 15.5cps (cents per share), compared with the Company’s last traded price of 6.2cps on 30 June 2021.
DGR Global holds an 8.9% stake in London Stock Exchange listed SolGold Plc with a current market value of approximately $A107m. SolGold has established a globally significant copper-gold deposit at the Cascabel project in northern Ecuador, together with a comprehensive regional portfolio of potentially significant copper and / or gold targets throughout the length of Ecuador. SolGold has been successful in attracting both BHP Group Limited and Newcrest Mining Limited to the register, both of whom hold circa 13.5% stakes in the company.
DGR Global also currently holds a 14% shareholding in AIM-listed IronRidge Resources with a current market value of approximately $30m. IronRidge recently announced plans to effectively split its gold and lithium project portfolios into two separate listed companies, and overnight in London announced a comprehensive funding package to take its flagship lithium project through to commercialization.
The strategic placement undertaken by DGR will facilitate the Company’s further investment into Armour Energy Limited, maintaining its circa 19% equity stake as approved by Armour shareholders on 11 June 2021. Additionally, DGR holds Armour’s FIIG debentures which have a current market value of approximately $2m but a redemption value of closer to $2.8m once Armour’s proposed spin out of its northern basin assets takes place in the next months as it has previously announced to the market.
In addition to this, DGR has a material portfolio of unlisted assets including a controlling interest in Armour Uganda Limited (which has an onshore oil lease in Uganda), and the unlisted Auburn Resources, which has projects which are highly prospective for Copper, Gold and other base metals.
Strategic Business Review
The Board of DGR Global has identified several funding options for the Company moving forward, utilising its Balance Sheet to minimise shareholder dilution. Additionally, the Company is conducting a comprehensive review of its overall running costs, business model and structure.
