DGR GLOBAL CREATES RESOURCE COMPANIES
DGR Global’s business 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 projects capable of yielding world class discoveries of attractive commodities. This is achieved through the identification of commodities with a favourable 20-year demand, growth and price outlook. DGR searches for geological terranes with:
-
A demonstrated strong endowment for that commodity in an historical under-explored region
-
Opportunity for the application of recently developed exploration and metallurgical techniques to assist in the definition of economic resources
-
Jurisdictions with improving socio-economic and regulatory frameworks
-
Extensive available tenures
-
Existing data sets which provide the basis for novel reinterpretation
DGR Global provides initial seed funding and management support to secure these assets in subsidiaries and develop these assets to more advanced funding stages. The Company has a pipeline of projects in daughter companies at various stages of emergence, and in 2015 crystalised a significant return through the sale of its 15% holding in Orbis Gold for $26Million. Further development of its holdings in LSE/TSX listed SolGold and AIM listed IronRidge Resources and ASX listed AusTin Mining, Dark Horse Resources and Armour Energy and unlisted Auburn Resources are expected over the coming years.
The previous resource exploration and funding activities of DGR’s key personnel underscore the opportunities provided by the DGR business model. DGR Global does not generally purchase its exploration projects. DGR’s 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.
DGR Global holds key equity positions in its subsidiary companies after listing. As shown in the DGR Global Group Corporate Structure (see Figure 1 ) at 30 June 2019, DGR Global holds:
-
21.97% Armour Energy Ltd (ASX : AJQ),
-
11.06% SolGold Plc (LSE/TSX : SOLG),
-
22.03% IronRidge Resources Ltd (LSE : IRR),
-
16.65% Aus Tin Mining Ltd (ASX : ANW),
-
16.73% Dark Horse Resources Ltd (ASX : DHR).

-
Significant iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) indicators at Tanumbirini West.
-
Large pyritic dolomitic sub basin highly anomalous in lead (prospective for lead zinc deposits in the broader McArthur Basin) at Tanumbirini East.
-
The Northern Territory Government has granted 11 of 12 Exploration Licence Applications at the Victoria River Project (Zinc, Lead) and the Tanumbirini Project Area west of the McArthur River Zinc Mine.
-
The Tanumbirini Project Area strongly supported by Northern Australia Geochemical Survey data base and Airborne Electromagnetic Surveys (both Geoscience Australia databases).

Figure 2: The Tanumbirini Project Area – traversed by the sealed Carpentaria Highway and the gas pipeline to the McArthur River Mine
The Northern Territory Government has now granted 11 of the 12 Exploration Licences that make up the Tanumbirini and Victoria River Projects to Pennant Resources Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Auburn Resources Limited, 47% owned by DGR Global (see Figures 1 and 2 ).
Tennant Creek and Mt Isa are the preeminent mineral resource hubs for the Northern Territory and Queensland. The region between these two hubs is a vast prospective frontier covered by a thin veneer of sediments. Geoscience Australia (GA), as part of the Federal Government’s “ Exploring for the Future” program, undertook an extensive soil sampling survey in collaboration with the Northern Territory Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Catchment outlet sediment samples were collected at 776 sites (including duplicates) and analyzed for elemental composition using three different analytical techniques[1] . The black dots in Figure 3 show all the sample points. Subsequently, GA undertook a wide spaced airborne ElectroMagnetic survey over the whole area, principally to define sulphide mineralization targets.
In mid-2018 GA started the public release of the Northern Australian Geochemical Survey[2] , and DGR Global geoscientists started to interrogate the massive data sets. With a primary interest in base metals, DGR focussed on the total lead assays rather than other base metals such as copper and nickel, since lead is relatively insoluble, not moving far from its point of origin. Figure 3 shows the result of this data search. The total lead footprint at Tanumbirini is larger in area than that at Mt Isa to the east, and comparable in magnitude given that Tanumbirini is all under cover and Mt Isa is exposed and has been mined for approximately a century. Lead high values to 46.2 ppm characterize Mt Isa and 34 ppm characterizes the Tanumbirini area. Auburn Resources subsidiary Pennant Resources immediately lodged 11 Exploration Licence applications over the area as shown (see also Figure 2 ).

==> picture [46 x 47] intentionally omitted <==
More detailed investigation of the NAGS data sets further confirmed the large area of base metal anomalism at Tanumbirini. Examining the data sets for lead and copper by Mobile Metal Ion™ (partial leach) geochemistry indicates an even larger anomalous footprint at Tanumbirini, with a significant indication of copper on the western section of the project area (see Figures 4 and 5 ). Highest copper in the unpolluted Tanumbirini area is 4310 ppb by MMI™. This compares to a high of 11,600 ppb in the polluted tailings creek at Mt Isa, but otherwise the Mt Isa area high is 2970 ppb. Copper in a blue copper sulphate stained polluted creek at the Mt Oxide mine is off scale at >20,000 ppb, but is otherwise 2 – 3,000 ppb in the Mt Oxide Gunpowder copper district.
IOCG Targets
Coinciding with the timing of DGR’s research, Greatland Gold plc announced its Havieron IOCG discovery at the Paterson Ranges about 40 kms east of Telfer. Noting that Greatland had previously announced that anomalous rare earths in soils were an exploration tool for IOCG deposits, DGR went back to the NAGS data sets to search for rare earths. As shown in Figure 5 (below), rare earths point to a massive IOCG target zone on the western section at Tanumbirini (yet to be supported by gravity and magnetic data).
==> picture [297 x 203] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Copper, gold, uranium, rare earths and molybdenum association at Tanumbirini– indicative of large IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) targets under relatively shallow cover
DGR therefore considers that in the Tanumbirini Project Area the company has secured two new potential mineral fields:
-
A pyritic dolomitic shale sub basin of the broader McArthur Basin prospective for lead zinc deposits at Tanumbirini East; and
-
An iron oxide copper gold target area at Tanumbirini West.

Figure 6 is a composite diagram incorporating mapped fault structures and EM supported geology on a magnetic image, indicating the interpretation of a fault bounded pyritic dolomitic shale sub basin prospective for lead zinc deposits on the east, and iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) targets on the west. The stand out feature through Tanumbirini is an 80 km long magnetic terrane boundary (shaded in purple), and which DGR considers is the source of the copper-gold-uraniummolybdenum-rare earth anomalism. The soil geochemistry and EM data from the Geoscience Australia surveys adds to an already extensive knowledge of surface geology and faults in the area, as well as available detailed magnetic data and a general understanding of the local stratigraphy.

As shown in Figure 9 , Pinnacle Gold holds substantial and extensive gold exploration tenements south of Charters Towers, Qld. Most of the area is soil covered, with previous exploration efforts by earlier explorers largely confined to areas of outcrop and focussed on mapping and sampling known workings. Only two areas have been drilled.
No systematic geochemical survey has ever been undertaken, yet the area clearly lies on potentially mineralising structures (Charters Towers – Black Jack – Mt Leyshon). It would appear that earlier explorers have been distracted by small high grade gold bearing quartz veins with no size potential. Significant steam anomalism (see Figure 10 ) may not all be due to “noise” from small veins.
After reviewing the historical exploration programs Pinnacle considers it time to reconsider the exploration strategy for this mostly soil covered area. Looking for large targets, Pinnacle has undertaken a field program of low gold detection limit soil lines on a grid pattern with infill gridding of any elevated results. Initial drilling programmes on 2 of the EPMs were undertaken late in the 2018 quarter, with assay results pending.

Figure 11: Coolgarra Tenement Map
As announced to the ASX on 9 February 2017, Coolgarra identified several strong gold and cobalt targets during field work. The initial exploration program was focused around several historical small scale mining areas, in particular Wally’s Hope and Janelle’s Hope Prospects in the southern section of EPM 19270, and what is recorded as a long (several kilometres) stratabound gold occurrence in the northern section now referred to as Wade’s Prospect.

Figure 12 is a satellite image of the southern section of EPM 19270 showing the soil grid lines, where each red diamond indicates a soil sample taken and assayed. A macro view of the soil gold concentrations is evident by plotting the soil gold contours at >25 ppb (parts per billion), > 50 ppb, and > 100 ppb.
==> picture [322 x 223] intentionally omitted <==
A highlight was a one metre wide surface exposure of non-veined sediments on the western side of the Wally’s Hope Prospect assaying 40.3 g/t gold (see Figure 13 ). The Wally’s Hope Prospect clearly presents several walk up gold drill targets which are accessible from existing tracks on the EPM. As evident from the underlying geology, the gold would seem to occur mainly as disseminations in calcareous sediments, and over several kilometres. The potential therefore exists for a large scale gold discovery.

Figure 14 shows an overview of the northern section of EPM 19270 on magnetic imagery. Each red diamond indicates a soil sample taken and assayed. Stream sediments were also taken for cobalt, and several rock chip samples are shown by the blue dots. Coolgarra Minerals has been granted a new exploration permit over the northern extension of the Wade’s Prospect where historical data suggests the gold mineralization continues stratabound for several kilometres beyond the recent exploration.
==> picture [275 x 201] intentionally omitted <==
As revealed at the Wally’s Hope Prospect much further south, the soil sampling indicates that the gold occurs as disseminations within calcareous sediments. The highest gold in soil recorded was 1.1 ppm, or 1.1 g/t. The company considers this to indicate “Carlin” style potential.
Quartz veins did not return gold values over 0.3 g/t. Wade’s Prospect has equally demonstrated that it is highly prospective for cobalt. The soil sampling revealed extensive cobalt mineralization, with a maximum soil result of 0.13% Co.
To the north of the cobalt mineralized area revealed by the soil sampling, rock chip sampling of asbolite float assayed 1.1% Co, 0.13% Cu and 0.54% Ni.
As with the Wally’s Hope Prospect further south on EPM 19270, Wade’s Prospect clearly presents several walk up drill targets for gold and cobalt. During the quarter an initial reverse circulation drilling program was undertaken at Wally’s Hope and Wade’s Prospects on EPM 19270, and samples have been dispatched for assay. A stream sediment survey was also conducted on EPMs 26265 and 26382.
Coolgarra Minerals also holds EPM 26386 Roebourne in Central Queensland ( Figure 15 ). The Roebourne Project is west of Theodore and 60 km north of Taroom. Mafic rocks (mainly olivine gabbro) have intruded the Surat Basin, and have subsequently been deeply weathered within a lateritic plateau. Large scale very strong cobalt stream sediment anomalies appear to be sourced from the garnet altered contact between the intrusives and some of the iron rich sediments.

Previous exploration work was mainly for iron ore, but high cobalt assays to 1.2% were recorded from rock specimens away from the main cobalt area, which is on the lateritic plateau. A prospecting program has been undertaken on the Roebourne EPM involving completion of the stream sediment survey around the ultrabasic contacts, and more particularly, the sourcing of the very strong cobalt (>800 ppm in stream sediments) already known.
The Greenvale South project consists of four granted exploration permits and one recent application, covering a belt of gold, antimony, nickel cobalt copper mineralization extending south from Australian Mines +$1 Billion SCONI development which received Queensland Government “Prescribed Project” status on 25 January.
To date Coolgarra has conducted surface geochemistry over selected parts of the southern portion of the project area, partially outlining targets at Wally’s Hope, Janelle’s Hope and the Wade prospect. Most areas have poor to no outcrop. A small mobile drilling rig was used to drill traverses of shallow holes over the peak geochemical targets at Wally’s and Wade, as well as a traverse designed to locate ultrabasic host rocks under alluvium north of Wade.
At Wally’s Hope, the shallow drilling traverses intercepted metasediments and small bodies of granite with fine veinlets and in the deepest holes, minor pyrite and arsenopyrite. The northern traverse successfully intercepted the bedrock gold between 0m and 14m in PAN3. The southern traverse over the main target intercepted low grades. A traverse over the central portion of the main Wally’s Hope zone was abandoned as the granite bodies proved too difficult for the small rig to penetrate. The completed drilling may have missed the central line of bedrock gold mineralization.

At Wade, the drilling traverse tested an unclosed zoned cobalt nickel gold soil anomaly with 7 holes. The holes intersected a gently dipping structure containing zoned nickel cobalt mineralization (with associated anomalous gold platinum and palladium). The distribution of the mineralization, and the precious metal association suggests that this deposit is the enriched oxidized portion of a sulphide lode occupied by an unusually chrome rich gabbro.

Coolgarra is encouraged by both the gold and cobalt nickel results from this program and intends to extend its activities into newer areas of the Greenvale South project.
It is considered noteworthy that the highest cobalt grades occur in a manganese oxide enriched body within the regional weathering profile. This is also seen at Greenvale mine and Lucknow just outside the Coolgarra project area. Floaters of asbolite, a manganese oxide with associated high grade cobalt (1% Co) nickel occur in the Wade streams.
