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 historically under-explored region
-
Opportunity for the application of newly 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 innovative 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 crystallised 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 September 2020, DGR Global holds:
-
13.92% of Armour Energy Ltd (ASX : AJQ),

DGR GLOBAL MEDIA ROUND UP
QUARTER 3: ECONOMIC RECOVERY THROUGH THE RESURGENCE OF MINING AND METALS
In September 2020, it was announced that Australia had officially entered its first recession in 30 years. The technical definition of a recession used by economists is two consecutive quarters (two, 3-month periods) when an economy declines.
While the Australian economy works to rebuild after the economic fallout from the Covid-19 global pandemic, we have taken the opportunity in this quarterly report to confirm the role of mining and metals in rebuilding the Australian economy.
In the early stages of Covid-19, there were interruptions to global markets, and various sectors of the Australian market were collapsing; meanwhile the mining and resources industry continued to perform at almost full production. Metals such as gold, silver and copper saw a resurgence in terms of price, met with increases in demand.
When we look ahead at the road to recovery for Australia, there are short term resolutions; such as financial injections from the government into the economy including Job Keeper and Job Seeker, coupled with the lowering of interest rates. However, until international travel borders re-open and a vaccine has been developed to act against Covid19, we also need to look at sectors within the Australian economy that are sustainable in the medium and long terms and that will support job growth.
The mining and resources sector makes up over “8 per cent of Australia’s economy and according to the Australian National Resources Statement; it’s economic impact extends to jobs, higher wages, investment and tax revenues to Australians”. [1.]
This report also notes that impact that the resources sector directly benefits workers. “Since 2005, direct employment in the resources sector has more than doubled from 104 000 to 255 800. When mining services are included, the broader sector accounts for more than 1 million employees”. Due to the rich amount of resources located within Australia; this provided many local employment opportunities, with the benefits of the sector are increasingly felt by all Australians. It is important to note also, that the resources sector invests in all capabilities of the Australian workforce. An example of this positive ripple effect in Australia’s history was in 2017, where “Australia broke world records for the longest run of uninterrupted growth in the developed world. The resources sector played a key role in achieving this, particularly during the general economic downturn in the global financial crisis of 2007–10.” [1.]
The Australian Government’s September 2020 Resources and Energy Quarterly notes that in the outlook period, “resource and energy commodity exports are likely to remain a major source of support to the Australian economy as it recovers from the largest global contraction since World War II. In line with IMF forecasts, we assume the world economy contracts by about 5 per cent in 2020, but grows by 5.4 per cent in 2021”. [ 2.]
DGR Global has often referenced the future use of commodities, and the 2020 Australian Resources Statement confirms this, stating “Global demand for resources is projected to grow at a steady rate over coming decades, driven by growing populations and economic development in emerging economies. Demand will increase in both traditional commodities, such as coal, iron ore, liquefied natural gas (LNG), base metals, such as copper and nickel, and emerging minerals, like lithium and rare earths which have many applications for the digital age.” [ 2.]
The resources industry supports numerous facets of the economy including transportation, manufacturing, technology, construction, food and energy supply. Each of these areas require various commodities to operate, covering gold and coper, lithium, nickel, zinc, oil and gas, of which the DGR Global portfolio allows investors access to through significant holdings in five listed companies.

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 analysed for elemental composition using three different analytical techniques1. The black dots in Figure 3 show all the
13
sample points. Subsequently, GA undertook a wide spaced airborne Electro-Magnetic survey over the whole area, principally to define sulphide mineralization targets.
In mid-2018 GA started the public release of the Northern Australian Geochemical Survey2, and DGR Global geoscientists started to interrogate the massive data sets. With a primary interest in base metals, DGR focused 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 Exploration Licence applications over the area as shown ( see also Figure 2 ).

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).
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-uranium-molybdenum-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.
Figure 6: Geological Interpretation on Magnetic Image – a fault bounded pyritic dolomitic shale sub basin on the east (similar to Mt Isa in NW Qld), and IOCG targets on the west – similar but shallower than Olympic Dam or Havieron.
