D’Aguilar Gold Limited A Resource Investment Company

==> picture [126 x 162] intentionally omitted <==

D’Aguilar Gold creates resource companies from projects generated by a highly skilled in-house team of geoscientists with diverse global minerals experience and a track records of significant discoveries.

D’Aguilar Gold holds key investments in these resource companies building value for

D’Aguilar Gold Founder and CEO Nicholas Mather

D’Aguilar shareholders as each company grows and as more companies are created each year.

D’Aguilar Gold now holds substantial investments in four listed resource companies (Mt Isa Metals| Solomon Gold | Navaho Gold | AusNiCo) exploring for copper, gold and nickel with a market value of AUD42.7 million, and in three unlisted subsidiaries progressing to capital raising and ASX listing in 2011 with a projected D’Aguilar Gold value at listing of AUD73.0 million.

These unlisted companies are exploring for gas, iron and titanium ores and copper gold molybdenum systems. In addition D’Aguilar also has developing projects in antimony, tin, copper, gold and rare earths.

The D’A uilar Business Model g

During the quarter D’Aguilar strongly advanced its objective to become a diversified resource project generator and investment company.

D’Aguilar generates its own large scale resource exploration projects directly through the skills and experience of its accomplished team of explorationists.

Most resource investment companies purchase their investment stakes at a high cost, with restricted scope and low diversity and it is this important difference that gives D’Aguilar its strong competitive edge.

Many exploration companies tend to prematurely focus on the definition of a restricted resource and/ or development without the scope for world class discoveries. In contrast, D’Aguilar’s philosophy is to secure provincial tenure positions, prospective for commodities with a high demand growth profile, which attract globally diverse capital funds. The company adopts a lateral and creative approach in the identification of both the commodity and the exploration target.

D’Aguilar’s exploration projects tend to be very large, targeting new provinces with the potential to make world-class discoveries. The exploration concepts are often novel. While increased metal prices and advances in technology can turn former sub-economic deposits into viable projects, D’Aguilar Projects frequently emerge from detailed reassessment and reinterpretation of large databases with a new perspective. In the past, D’Aguilar Directors and Managers have applied new exploration models to extensive tenement areas which have contributed to the identification of new mineral provinces and the discovery of nationally significant resources.

D’Aguilar’s strategy to independently finance, manage and list its key assets on recognised stock exchanges is designed to deliver negotiability for its key assets, provide less dilutive funding of forward exploration programs and deliver expanded and focussed Project Management Teams independent of D’Aguilar.

The D’Aguilar Business Model

Armour Energy led by CEO Mr Phil McNamara, (formerly MD TSX Listed Waratah Coal) completed AUD14.0 million seed capital raising and is proceeding to AUD75.0 million capital raising and ASX listing in Q3 2011 with selection of Joint Lead Managers underway.

Archer Resources led by CEO, Dr Matthew White, (formerly Chief Geologist Nautilus Minerals) has completed AUD2.0 million seed raising and commenced preparations for AUD6.0 million capital raising and ASX listing in Q4 2011 being managed by Blackwood Capital .

IronRidge Resources CEO appointment imminent is and AUD6.0 million capital raising and stock exchange listing planned for Q4 2011. D’Aguilar Gold holds

These three subsidiaries progressing to ASX Listing, 35.2 million shares along with other D’Aguilar project subsidiaries representing 15.6% under development (antimony, tin, copper, gold and of Solomon Gold plc. rare earths) amply demonstrates D’Aguilar’s proven ability to repeatedly create new mineral exploration and development companies year after year (Fig 2). Typically D’Aguilar generates two or more new wholly owned subsidiaries each year. D’Aguilar raises seed capital, installs Management and Executives and organises capital raisings and stock exchange listings.

In the crucial early life of a listed company, substantial support is provided by D’Aguilar to its subsidiaries, sharing corporate overhead costs including offices, company secretarial, accounting and the secondment of key D’Aguilar geoscientists on an “as needs” basis until such time as the new company can justify full time staff.

As the new company advances and grows over time, D’Aguilar intends to hold its position as a solid cornerstone shareholder enjoying capital appreciation (see Fig 3 and refer Table 1 below).

D’Aguilar’s most critical challenge during this period of rapid growth is the identification of technically and commercially skilled, successful and experienced managers and entrepreneurs to fill the Executive roles in their emerging resource companies. D’Aguilar is constantly searching for suitable candidates to take these opportunities forward with high personal and corporate reward. D'Aguilar is interested in reviewing people currently in middle Management exploration or business development roles, with major or middle ranking exploration and mining companies, to fill executive roles within the D’Aguilar Group.

New Nickel and Cobalt – Queensland (ASX:ANW)

==> picture [278 x 389] intentionally omitted <==

D’Aguilar Gold holds 58.85 million shares representing 53% of AusNiCo Limited following the successful capital raising and listing of AusNiCo on the ASX on 21 October 2010.

AusNiCo is primarily focussed on defining and developing nickel sulphide and oxide mineralisation in extensive new provinces in Queensland. Since listing, AusNiCo has also applied for extensive new exploration areas in NSW plus three other exploration permits in northwest Queensland. The tenement package assembled by AusNiCo is shown in Figure 4.

D’Aguilar Gold holds In 2008 AusNiCo discovered the first significant 35.2 million shares nickel sulphide mineralisation in Queensland at representing 15.6% Pembroke near Kilkivan in Hole PEM 2 (4.2metres @ of Solomon Gold plc. 1.1% nickel within a 50metres zone averaging 0.34% Ni near surface). A large zone of oxide nickel mineralisation is under assessment at Mt Cobalt in the same area. The prospect has been drilled by AusNiCo and a substantial oxide target in a hydrothermally altered serpentinite host has been outlined. AusNiCo has identified potential for a deeper sulphide target coincident with a large magnetic anomaly.

AusNiCo has recently been conducting extensive Induced Polarisation (IP) surveys over the Pembroke, Mt Cobalt and Mt Clara prospects and

Figure 4: AusNiCo Tenement Plan

==> picture [296 x 273] intentionally omitted <==

has identified extensive chargeability anomalies which indicate disseminated sulphide systems. AusNiCo has already intersected disseminated sulphides at Pembroke in lengths greater than 70 metres, and recent metallurgical testing has established that the nickel is significantly recoverable as a sulphide using simple flotation techniques. Accordingly D’Aguilar Gold believe that AusNiCo presents an outstanding opportunity for the discovery of disseminated nickel sulphide systems in South East Queensland.

During the quarter AusNiCo announced further silver and copper assay intercepts in holes drilled at the Silver Valley Prospect.

Over the coming months AusNiCo’s major exploration programs will continue to focus on the Pembroke, Silver Valley and Mt Cobalt Prospect areas (shown in more detail in Fig 5).

To date drilling has been confined to the Crunchie and Kauffman’sHomestead Prospects within the Central Rannes Project area (Fig 7). The Crunchie Prospect is particularly high in silver grades with over 8 million ounces contained. In particular, some high silver grades have been encountered in the deepest holes at Crunchie – notably in Holes CRU67 (4m @ 2.75g/t Au and 106g/t Ag from 118m) and CRU69 (2m @ 1.19g/t Au and 316.5g/t Ag from 110m). The veins in those vertical holes are almost flat lying, so that these intersections are close to true widths.

Solomon Gold’s main projects are in Queensland and Solomon Islands (Fig 6).

Solomon Gold has two key projects in Queensland – Rannes near Newcrest’s Cracow gold mine, and Mt Perry beside Newcrest’s (formerly Lihir Gold’s) Mt Rawdon gold mine. Since acquiring the Rannes area (Central Minerals Pty Ltd) from D’Aguilar Gold in February 2010 Solomon Gold has engaged two drilling rigs and in June 2011 announced an updated resource of 273,199 ounces contained gold and 10.67 million ounces of contained silver.

Late in the quarter Newmont advised encouraging drill assay results at the Vuanimaho Prospect within the Mbetilonga Project area, with further drill assay results pending for drilling on the Havehahala Prospect, also in the Mbetilonga area.

Solomon Gold plc has two main project areas in Solomon Islands. On Guadalcanal, Solomon Gold JV partner Newmont has advised Solomon Gold that it is proceeding to earning 70% in the JV on the Solomon Gold tenements located over one of the most comprehensive and relatively unexplored porphyry terrains in the south west Pacific.

Fauro Island in the north west Solomon Islands is 80kms south of the former Panguna mine on Bougainville Island. Fauro is a volcanic epithermal crater where the recent mapping, sampling and geophysical surveys confirm the geology to be similar to the 40 million ounce Lihir Island gold mine now owned by Newcrest.

Solomon Gold advises the company has AUD12.0 million in the bank to continue its exploration programs in Central Queensland and Fauro Is.

Mt Isa Metals commenced exploration in Burkina Faso in June 2010 and in December 2010 announced exceptional gold results from initial rock sampling on several prospects.

In January 2011 Mt Isa Metals announced exciting gold drill assay results from 20 holes along 3.6km strike length of multiple high grade quartz lodes on the Nabanga Prospect (in the Yactibo Project area) which averaged 5m true thickness and 6g/t gold.

mineralisation between the previous drill holes, and below 50 metres depth. On 4 July the company reported additional high grade assay results to a depth of 65 vertical metres from the first 6 holes.

Early in the quarter Mt Isa Metals announced a 14km long geochemical anomaly had been defined at the Kamsongo Gold Prospect , in the Yactibo Project area. The significance of this new gold occurrence defined by +10ppb[1] gold in soil anomaly (including > 6 km at 50 ppb Au) is markedly shown in Figure 10.

Kamsongo has the potential to be up to 4 times the size of the Nabanga Discovery. Drilling has commenced on the higher order Central Zone and North Zone anomalies at Kamsongo, with initial results expected shortly.

RC drilling has also recommenced at the Bantou Gold Prospect within the Kongolokoro Project area in south west Burkina Faso. The 3,000m drilling program is designed to follow up the high grade intersections recorded in drilling in late 2010 which indicated multiple quartz lodes along a 500m strike length open in both directions and at depth.

In May Mt Isa Metals announced that multiple high order soil anomalies had been defined at the Boungou Gold Prospect (in the Tapoa Project Area in eastern Burkina Faso). These results included a +50ppb gold anomaly defined over an approximate 2.5km by 1.5km area. On 6 July the company indicated that new assay results extended the soil anomalies to a 6km strike length and up to 2.8km width. As shown in Figure 11 the gold anomalism at the Boungou Prospect remains open in all directions.

With drilling and soil sampling programs continuing on several prospects in Burkina Faso shareholders can expect a steady flow of assay results and ASX announcements over the next quarter.

FOOTNOTE:[1] ppb = parts per billion. Note 1 g/t (gram per tonne) = 1 ppm (part per million) = 1,000 ppb (parts per billion).

New Shale Gas Province in Northern Australia

Armour Energy is D’Aguilar Gold’s energy focussed subsidiary dedicated to the discovery and development of world class gas resources in an extensive new province in Northern Australia (Fig 16).

areas Armour has Figure 18 identified a core target area located within and adjacent to the fault bounded structure known as the Batten Trough (Fig 17). The target sediments are the thickened sections of the gas rich Barney Creek Shale which has scope

to host up to 40 TCF of gas. Previous exploration drilling for zinc encountered numerous shows of gas condensate, oil and bitumen, including a 140psi gas blowout which flowed for 6 months before being plugged (Fig 18).

The area is also prospective for large shale gas resources which are expected to be comparable to or rival shale gas resources contained within known shale gas basins in the USA. Shale gas technology developed in the USA and commercially applied by a number of companies and operators in Texas, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, North Dakota as well as Saskatchewan and British Columbia in Canada will be applied in the exploration of the area.

The geology of the target area demonstrates extensive target shale units with total organic carbon content, thermal maturity levels and thicknesses presenting comparable targets to the producing Haynesville, Barnett, Marcellus and Bakken Shales that are currently yielding high volume gas production in the USA (Fig 19 overleaf). Shale gas development and production relies on the release of gas from artificially fractured low permeability gas bearing shales which are penetrated by radiating horizontal lateral holes drilled off a vertical centre well.

The target shales are “dry” (not aquifers) and do not interact with groundwater. Armour’s well depths are targeted at between 500 and 1500 metres within the project area.

During the quarter, Northern Territory tenement access negotiations with traditional land owners were completed on the first two exploration application areas covering the Batten Trough and the Northern Territory Government granted EP171 and EP176

Territory, the South Nicholson area was lightly explored by other companies in the late 1970s and early 1980s for major oil accumulations. At this time there was no significant gas demand, and gas was ignored or overlooked in exploration. However the area has abundant gas and oil source rocks. This is

clearly evident in revisiting the drill well logs from former oil exploration wells in the South Nicholson area. As shown in Figure 20, drill logs from the historic “Eqilabria 1” and “Beamesbrook 1” oil exploration wells drilled almost 30 km apart show remarkable continuity of high gas contents in the Lawn Hill Formation. Armour Energy is currently planning an AUD75.0 million capital raising and ASX listing in Q3 2011.

Iron, Titanium and Bauxite – Queensland

overlooked that a grading of 35+% was the accepted standard of the iron and steel industry. Given that IronRidge target areas are situated next to massive coal and gas reserves (owned by unrelated third parties) and the current high price of iron ore, lower grades of iron ore should be able to offer economic potential. Initial field work has already identified extensive deposits of iron rich material with many assays >40% Fe and < 0.04% P2O5 (phosphorus) The largest iron deposit identified lies on the eastern edge of the Basin approx 100kms Sth West of Mundubbera, called Cadarga where mapping and sampling work has led to the discovery of high grade Titanium Dioxides (to 31% TiO2) around an interpreted basaltic volcanic centre near the town of Monogorilby.
