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.

Marodian is probably the lrgest untested copper molybdenum gold porphyry system in the south west Pacific. Within the 30 – 40 km² Cu Mo and Au zone (see Figure 9–use Fig Figure 4: Mt Abbot Project Area—3 EPMs 8 from Sep report) there are widespread areas of breccia vein stockworks and disseminations of generally low grade but with locally richer patches that have supported small underground mines in the past. Historical surface geochemistry is incomplete, covering less than half the system, and rarely tested for gold. Porphyry copper deposits are normally tested with holes of 300m or deeper (due to the scale of the deposits) but no holes at Marodian are deeper than 100m and almost all are less than 60m. The deepest previous drilling (by the Queensland Government) tested the underground workings around the former Lug I Noor mine at the western extremity of the
Marodian system. These holes gave variable results but veri- Figure 5: Central area – Calgoa Project – showing historic mining sites

Coolgarra Minerals
==> picture [343 x 260] intentionally omitted <==
Coolgarra Minerals holds 2 Exploration Permits for Gold and Antimony north of Greenvale, Qld, and a new EPM west of Gladstone prospective for chromite (see photograph on Page 6). The Pandanus Creek EPM (see Figure 6) contains substantial historic gold workings, with identified initial prospects at “Janelles Hope” and “Wades”. Antimony has historically been seen as a potential impediment to good gold recovery, but in today's market is now a very valuable co-product. The EPM contains widespread antimony >20% Sb in rock samples. The potential for a significant discovery is clear when it is realised that Wades prospect contains 2 parallel mineralised belts > 5 km in length.

Pinnacle Gold holds 2 EPMs for gold exploration in Qld, both in close proximity to significant prior gold production. The latest of these EPMs has only been granted this quarter, and as shown in Figure 7, is located between the historic Black Jack and Mt Leyshon Mines near Charters Towers.
Pinnacle Gold’s research shows that most of this area is soil covered, with previous exploration mainly confined to areas of outcrop.
There has been no systematic geochem survey yet the area clearly lies on potentially mineralising structures (Charter TowersBlack Jack – Mt Leyshon). Previous explorers appear to have been distracted by small high grade gold bearing quartz veins with no size potential, mapping and sampling known workings and drilling in only two areas. An initial exploration program focussed on systematic soil sampling is planned for the winter months.
