ASX Announcement
DGR Global Ltd (ASX: DGR) Further Strategic Investment In Armour Energy
The Directors of DGR Global Ltd (DGR or the ‘company’) are pleased to announce that DGR has provided an additional $4.0m finance facility to Armour Energy Ltd (ASX Code ‘AJQ’ or ‘Armour’). The funding has been provided through an additional subscription for McArthur Oil & Gas Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Armour) Redeemable Exchangeable Notes[#] .
Armour is currently undertaking a strategic overview and executing several initiatives to restructure its Balance Sheet and maximise the value of its substantial asset base against a broader context of surging domestic gas prices. DGR is currently the major shareholder of Armour with a current holding equating to 374,709,708 shares or 16.59% of the issued capital of Armour (refer Table 1 below).
Investment Rationale
Armour has today released to the ASX an Investor Presentation (please refer to link), together with an Operational and Funding Update (please refer link) highlighting the significant work that is being done to restructure and realise value from their suite of assets.
DGR has long held the view that East Coast Australian Gas markets exhibits compelling long-term fundamentals.
Armour Energy Ltd is well placed over both the short and long term to take advantage of these fundamentals with the company’s fully integrated reservoir to grid infrastructure centred on and around the Kincora gas processing facility.
Armour has a substantial asset base inclusive of the Kincora gas processing facility, a substantial upstream gathering system delivering gas to Kincora, a substantial resource and series of prospective leases in proximity to the Kincora facility to grow both resource inventory and ultimately production.
Additionally, Armour holds the Newstead gas storage facility which ultimately will provide Armour with the capacity to deliver gas into the East Coast market at its discretion and is an asset of significant strategic value.
Beyond its substantial reservoir to grid infrastructure and assets, Armour has a significant suite of assets with considerable value including its substantial acreage

position in the highly prospective McArthur and South Nicholson basins with a collective acreage position of 96,000 km. Similar assets support substantial market capitalisations of companies listed on the ASX.
Armour also retains significant acreage positions in the Cooper Basin and the Otway Basin in Victoria where Armour holds a 51% interest in PEP 169 just 3 kms north of Beach Energy Ltd (ASX Code BPT) exciting 160 TJ gas find which recently flow tested at 61 Million Standard Cubic Feet per day (MMCFD).

DGR CEO, Mr Nicholas Mather commented,
“Armour Energy presents a very great opportunity for DGR. Although it’s taken a while, Australia’s east coast gas markets have re-rated strongly and look set to go significantly higher. Armour’s strategic advantage lies in that it is already a producer at 4 TJs a day, from its wholly owned Kincora Project south of Roma in the prolific Surat Basin, has approximately 25 TJs per day spare capacity in a plant infrastructure and market access that would have a replacement cost of over $250m. Armour has the reserves to fill that capacity. The opportunity lies in clearing the balance sheet of the $12m pa debt amortisation burden, increasing production through in well bore remediation of existing wells, exploration, new discoveries and field development plans to lift production in an environment of gas prices that are approximately four times higher than Armour the current gas sales agreement. Armour is working on new gas contracts to sell gas over 5 TJs per day and or after 23/11 when the current contract with APLNG terminates. We believe that post covid energy demand and environmental requirements will continue to drive gas demand and prices for some time.
In addition, Armour’s 51% interest in the Enterprise North target in the Otway Basin adjacent to Beach Petroleum’s 160 PJ /61 TJ per day Enterprise discovery and the dominant position in the NT Macarthur Basin presents very exciting potential. For Armour, it’s about reducing debt and amortisation, discover more, produce more and sell it for a lot more and Armour has the resources and reserves, the tenure and production capability to do that. DGR is well positioned to benefit strongly”

DGR has utilised existing cash reserves to meet its obligations to Armour pursuant to this agreement.
DGR has a robust balance sheet with over $85m in liquid equity holdings and cash reserves.
DGR is adequately provisioned following this transaction and as has previously announced is preferring to fund the company’s ongoing activities from its balance sheet as opposed to diluting shareholder equity via placement of equity.
