DGR Global Creates Resource Companies
During the quarter DGR Global strongly advanced its objective to become a diversified global resource project generator and investment company.
DGR Global 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 DGR Global 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, DGR Global’s philosophy is to secure provincial tenure positions, prospective for commodities with a high demand growth profile, which attract globally diverse capital funds. D’Aguilar Gold holds The company adopts a lateral and creative approach in the 35.2 million shares identification of both the commodity and exploration target. representing 15.6%
of Solomon Gold plc. DGR Global exploration projects tend to be very large, targeting new provinces with the potential to make worldclass discoveries. The exploration concepts are often novel. While increased metal prices and advances in technology
can turn former sub economic deposits into viable projects, DGR Global Projects frequently emerge from detailed reassessment and reinterpretation of large databases with a new perspective. In the past, DGR Global 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.
DGR Global’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 DGR Global.
DGR Global holds key equity positions in its subsidiary companies after listing. As shown in the DGR Global Group Corporate Structure (see fig 1), at 17 July DGR Global holds 25% ASX listed Armour Energy Ltd (ASX : AJQ) 9.6% AIM listed SolGold Plc (LSE: SOLG), 30.6% ASX listed Mt Isa Metals Ltd (ASX: MET), 41.5% AusNiCo Ltd (ASX: ANW) and 29% Navaho Gold Ltd (ASX: NVG). Table 1 and the following figures 2 and 3 demonstrate how DGR Global continues to build value for shareholders.

During the quarter Armour completed drilling the Moreys 1
Well on Lakes Oil NL PEP169 in the Otway Basin, Victoria.
Armour has earned 51% ownership and assumes
operatorship of PEP169. The Moreys Prospect is adjacent to
numerous gas fields operated by Origin Energy and proximal
to existing pipeline infrastructure.
Armour also drilled the Holdgate 1 Well on Lakes Oil PEP166
within the onshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria thereby earning
25% ownership of PEP166. Armour will take it’s interest in
PEP166 to 51% by the drilling of a second well. Both wells
are on anticline structures targeting large unconventional
gas reserves.

Energy’s Cow Lagoon 1 well
Armour Energy Limited (DGR: 75 million shares:
25%) has encountered a gas show from its first
well (Cow Lagoon 1) in its exploration and
drilling program in the MacArthur Basin region
of its granted Northern Territory tenements.
Cow Lagoon 1 encountered gas from
indeterminate zones in the Reward Dolomite
between 342 and 540 metres depth. The gas
show was encountered during air mist drilling
in a tight calcite cemented dolomitic shale with
poor porosity and permeability. The flare shown
in figure 4 above is driven from the well by the
reintroduction of compressed air into the well
after the connection of an additional pipe into
the drill string during drilling. The drilling of Cow
Lagoon 1 allowed Armour Energy to collect cores
through the Barney Creek Shale and Coxco
Dolomite, in order to test for thermal maturity,
organic carbon content, liquids and gas content.
Armour is also the successful tenderer for
Queensland permit ATP 1107 which lies
immediately south of, and adjacent to, Armour
Energy’s existing Queensland tenement position
ATP 1087 (refer fig 5). This effectively doubles
Armour Energy’s Queensland ground position
from approximately 1.8 million acres to
3.6 million acres, increasing its exposure to the
South Nicholson Basin and in particular the Lawn
Hill Formation within the underlying Isa Super
Basin.

Iron, Titanium and Bauxite
IronRidge Resources Ltd (IRR), has been granted two Autorisation de Prospection (Authority to Prospect) in Gabon: Belinga Sud and Tchibanga, representing the culmination of seven months’ work and providing IronRidge with an exciting new strategic direction in iron ore exploration. The location of the two tenements, and proximity to known Iron Ore deposits, is shown in figure 8.
Gabon is located on the central west coast of Africa, a region becoming increasingly recognised for iron ore prospectivity and host to numerous projects including Mbalam/Nabeba (Sundance ASX: SDL), Mayoko Moussondji (Equatorial Resources ASX: EQX) and Kango North (Apollo Minerals ASX: AON). Belinga Sud is located in eastern Gabon and Tchibanga is located in the south west.
The 3,027km² Belinga Sud Autorisation de Prospection is strategically located immediately south of the concession hosting the Belinga Iron Ore Deposits, which contain an estimated combined resource of 860Mt @ 63% Fe[1] .
Proof of concept is demonstrated by a number of iron occurrences at a similar stratigraphic level along the western limb of the syncline. The tenure is less than 10km from the coastline and the port of Mayumba, and as such even a modest resource would represent a project of significant value to IronRidge.
The projects were generated by DGR Global’s New Opportunities Group based in London, UK. IronRidge will be presenting the projects and management team to the market in further detail in August 2012, following an initial field appraisal of Belinga Sud.
IronRidge has commenced a preliminary exploration program at Belinga Sud and will follow-up with a program at Tchibanga later in 2012.
Fig 8: IronRidge Project Location in Gabon
The Belinga Sud Autorisation de Prospection contains a large tract of the greenstone belt that hosts the rich iron deposits less than 20km to the north. Within this area there are mapped iron formations and several documented iron occurrences. Geophysical data highlights strong magnetic anomalies in the area and in particular a significant southern extension where an outlying greenstone belt is considered to be highly prospective for additional iron formations over a strike length in excess of 35km. The Belinga Sud Autorisation de Prospection is within 85km of the existing TransGabonese rail route, currently used for bulk haulage from the southern town of Franceville to the Port at Owendo, 15km south of the capital, Libreville.
The 2,937km² Tchibanga Autorisation de Prospection is situated within the western limb of the Neoproterozoic Nyanga syncline, and incorporates both a significant magnetic anomaly and two iron occurrences. Outside of the ‘traditional’ greenstone iron formations, this target is founded on a different exploration concept – that of iron-ore development in younger iron formations underlain by carbonates. 1.

Porphyry Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum
Archer is focussed on the discovery and development of porphyry copper gold silver molybdenum deposits in south east Queensland and after an AUD2.0M seed raising is a 67% owned subsidiary of DGR Global Limited. Archer has 7 key project areas in eastern Queensland- Peenam, Mt Abbott, Gayndah and Calgoa (which already host encouraging drill intersections) and Great Blackall, Pinnacles and Anduramba. Location of these exploration tenements is shown in figure 6.
==> picture [271 x 378] intentionally omitted <==
DGR Global has also transferred two ELs in the Central Lachlan Fold Belt near Bathurst to Archer. These contain an exciting gold-silver Project at Caloola which already has an historic (non-JORC) gold occurrence of 235,000 tonnes @ 2.5g/t Au. The deepest historic drill hole CP10 stopped in D’Aguilar Gold holds mineralisation at 96m, later assaying 14m of 3.86g/t Au 35.2 million shares from 82 metres.
representing 15.6% Between December 2011 and February 2012, Archer Resources’ subsidiary AimFire Energy Pty Ltd applied for 7 of Solomon Gold plc. tenement applications in the Permian coal-bearing Arckaringa Basin of South Australia. This project is located 75 km NW of Coober Pedy, or 500 km NW of Port Augusta, on the Adelaide to Darwin Rail Link.
The project area has a significant presence of Permian sub-bituminous, high energy, low ash, high moisture thermal black coal. The applications contain numerous coal intercepts in historical drill holes (e.g. 14m net coal thickness, from 186-200 m depth on ELA 2011/00297).

Fig 6: Map Showing location of Archer Resources Tenements
Archer believes there is potential for significant coal resource surrounding the 14m seam on ELA 2011/00297. Gravity images show applications are within prospective (under explored) basins (see fig 7). Immediately next to these applications, Altona Energy (LSE: ANR) and Chinese partners CNOOC are currently undertaking an AUD40.0M Bankable Feasibility Study to develop an open-cut coal mining operation and a coal-to-liquids plant to produce 10million barrels of distillate pa for domestic market and export. Altona claim that this basin is “one of the world’s largest untapped energy banks”. Altona report a non-JORC mineralised occurrence of 7.8 billion tonnes, with 1.287 billion tonnes in JORC status[1] . 1. Altona Energy plc SAREIC Presentation (May 2011),Page 11

Gold, Silver and Copper
DGR geoscientists have identified an underexplored area of NSW which exhibits great similarities to previous discoveries by former subsidiary Central Minerals Pty Ltd (now part of SolGold plc) at Rannes in Qld, and the North Bowen project area held by associated company Navaho Gold Ltd (ASX: NVG) as shown in figure 10. All three areas (Central, Navaho and Pinnacle) flank the eastern side of the Bowen Sydney Basin, exhibit strong structure with aligned magnetic intrusives and feature calcareous and tuffaceous host rocks.
==> picture [275 x 339] intentionally omitted <==
DGR Global subsidiary Pinnacle Gold has now secured a substantial exploration ground position west of the Peel Fault and north of Manilla, NSW. Eight (8) Exploration Licence Applications covering more than 2,400km[2] as shown in figure 11 have been granted. Landowner access agreements have been finalized on the first of the granted tenements and initial field work has recently commenced on EL 7859. Exploration activity on Pinnacle Gold tenements will initially focus on a 50km long structure dotted with historical gold workings extending south east from Barraba. Records of the historic 19[th] century workings in the area, eg. from Readings Reef to Tea Tree Creek, shown in figure 11 , indicate high grades of visible gold in near surface work on multiple reefs. No previous drilling on these structures has been revealed in research to date, but a report from 1983 indicates good gold values in sheared wall rock associated with one reef.
