DGR Global (ASX: DGR) is a resource project generator and investment company focused on creating exploration and development companies in a wide array of commodities, including copper, gold, nickel, molybdenum, iron ore and uranium.
DGR Global’s strategic focus is on securing provincial tenure positions that are prospective for commodities which attract globally exposed capital funds. Each project or exploration strategy is initially held as a separate subsidiary of the parent company.
DGR’s new subsidiary, Pinnacle Gold, has access to land with potential for silver and gold in an underexplored region of New South Wales, that bears similarities to projects held by Solomon Gold and Navaho Gold.
DGR Global (ASX: DGR) is continuing with the strategic company focus to build a resource factory, with the launch of new subsidiary Pinnacle Gold, the eighth company in DGR’s pipeline.
This comes just one day after former wholly owned subsidiary Armour Energy (ASX: AJQ) listed on the ASX.
Pinnacle lodged eight Exploration Licence Applications covering more than 2,400 square kilometres in a potential gold and silver province in New South Wales, with seven of these now granted.
The company’s ground position is located in an underexplored region which has similarities to discoveries by former DGR subsidiaries.
These include Solomon Gold’s (AIM: SOLG) Rannes Project in Queensland, which hosts an Inferred Resource of486,935 ounces of gold and more than 13 million ounces of silver, and Navaho Gold’s (ASX: NVG) North Bowen Project Area.
Initial field work has already commenced on the first of the granted tenements. Early exploration on Pinnacle’s tenements will focus on a 50 kilometre long structure which is dotted with historical gold workings and a 28 kilometre long parallel structure to the west.
Importantly, records from exploration in the area in the 19th century indicate high grades of visible gold in near surface work on a number of reefs. No previous drilling has been identified on these structures.
