DGR Global’s business DGR Global exploration projects tend to be very large, is the creation of resource exploration development and mining companies. The business uses the skills of a core team of talented geoscientists to identify resource targeting new provinces with the potential to make worldprojects capable of yielding world class discoveries of attractive class discoveries. The exploration concepts are often novel. commodities. While increased metal prices and advances in technology

The Company is currently involved in the search for safe high grade, high-yielding production operations in which to invest the bulk of its available cash resources.

This is achieved through:

▪ The identification of commodities with a favorable 20 year demand, growth and price outlook.

DGR Global has commenced an intended program of judicious dividend payments to its shareholders. The future of the dividend program will depend on circumstances from time to time.

  • Geological terranes with:

  • A demonstrated strong endowment for that commodity;

The previous resource exploration and funding activities of DGR’s key personnel underscore the opportunities provided by the DGR business model.

  • An under-explored history;

DGR Global does not purchase its exploration projects. DGRs in house generative capabilities gives the Company a strong competitive edge. DGR’s focus on provincial tenement positions covering entire sedimentary basins or structural blocks where possible delivers capital, government and major resource corporate attention.

  • Opportunity for the application of recently developed exploration and metallurgy techniques to define economic resources;

  • Jurisdictions with improving socio-economic and regulatory frameworks;

  • Extensive available tenures.

Archer Resources is planning a seed raising in the next quarter to raise $1.5 m by the issue of 30 million shares @ 5 cents per share. A significant portion of the funds raised will be used in a new drilling program at Ban Ban with the aim of delivering a JORC compliant resource within 12 months. Funds will also be spent to advance exploration at key project areas such as Mt. Abbot, Calgoa, Three Sisters, Gayndah and Pinnacle. Initial review will also be commenced on new tenements at Great Blackall and Hawkwood. Sophisticated Investors interested in participating in the Archer Resources seed raising can contact the Company Secretary for further information.

The following Figure 7 indicates how Archer management currently ranks the various projects in the company portfolio, and highlights the potential of an early economic resource being proven up at the Ban Ban Zinc Project (see Figure 8).
