Exploration and Development of Unlisted Subsidiaries and Projects During the year the group was strongly focused on advancing exploration projects within the parent and subsidiary companies. Field reconnaissance programs including mapping, soil, stream and rock sampling were undertaken. COVID-19 temporarily impacted capacity to carry out planned exploration in the final quarter of FY19/20. Significant activities which occurred during the year included: Auburn Resources Limited (44.79%) Auburn Resources is focused on the discovery and development of copper, gold, nickel, cobalt and zinc deposits in Eastern Queensland and the Northern Territory.       Continuing to develop and consolidate as a zinc-lead, nickel-copper-cobalt, copper-gold company exploring in QLD and NT, with several highly prospective areas in the NT. Significant Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) and lead-zinc targets identified and secured in the Tanumbirini district of the Northern Territory33 – refer later section for further details. Potential for major copper gold discoveries at Mt Abbott, Calgoa and Marodian Projects and large sulphide nickel-cobalt-copper discoveries near Hawkwood34.

The Northern Territory Government granted all 12 of the Exploration Licenses that make up the Tanumbirini and Victoria River Projects to Pennant Resources Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Auburn Resources Limited (see Figures 2 and 3 below). DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 7 Figure 2: Location of the Tanumbirini and Victoria River Projects in the Northern Territory. Figure 3: The Tanumbirini Project Area – traversed by the sealed Carpentaria Highway and the gas pipeline to the McArthur River Mine DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 8 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 techniques1. The black dots in Figure 3 show all the sample points. Subsequently, GA undertook a wide spaced airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey over the entire area to primarily define sulphide mineralization targets. In mid-2018 GA started the public release of the Northern Australian Geochemical Survey. DGR Global Ltd (DGR) geoscientists started to interrogate the released data sets. DGR focused on the total lead assays rather than other base metals such as copper and nickel as lead is relatively insoluble thus not moving far from its point of origin. Figure 4 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. Figure 4: Geoscience Australia overbank fine stream sediment sample points, with regional lead anomalism (Total Lead > 25 ppm by ICP- MS) shown in dark pink DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 9 Figure 5: Lead (light green) and Copper (light blue) anomalism by MMITM (partial leach) geochemistry More detailed investigation of the Northern Australia Geochemical Survey (NAGS) data sets further confirmed a large area of base metal anomalism at Tanumbirini. Examining the data sets for lead and copper by Mobile Metal Ion™ (partial leach) (MMITM) geochemistry indicated an even larger anomalous footprint at Tanumbirini, with a significant indication of copper on the western section of the project area (see Figures 5 and 6). The highest copper in the unpolluted Tanumbirini area is 4310 ppb by MMI™. Excluding polluted exceptions, this compares to the Mt Isa area high of 2970 ppb and 2,000–3,000 ppb in the Mt Oxide Gunpowder copper district. IOCG Targets Coincident with DGR’s research, Greatland Gold plc announced its Havieron IOCG discovery at the Paterson Ranges about 40 kms east of Telfer. Greatland had previously announced that anomalous rare earths in soils were an exploration tool for IOCG deposits, so DGR revisited the NAGS data sets to search for rare earths. As shown in Figure 6 (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). DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 10 Figure 6: Copper, gold, uranium, rare earths and molybdenum association at Tanumbirini– indicative of large IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) targets under relatively shallow cover DGR considers that in the Tanumbirini Project Area, Auburn Resources has secured two new potential mineral fields: 1. A pyritic dolomitic shale sub basin of the broader McArthur Basin prospective for lead zinc deposits at Tanumbirini East; and 2. An iron oxide copper gold target area at Tanumbirini West. Figure 7 below 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 standout 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 8: Conceptual SW-NE geological cross-section of the Tanumbirini Project area DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 12 Armour Uganda (83.16%) Armour Uganda’s flagship project is the ‘The Kanywataba Block’ which is highly prospective for oil and gas. The project covers approximately 344 km2 and is located in a rift basin within the Albertine Graben, within close proximity to the Total and CNOOC operations in the North. Within the block there are multiple developed (untested) on-trend structural traps (3-way and 4-way dip closures) and multiple untested stratigraphic traps. The Kingfisher oil discovery (40km NE of Kanywataba) oil seeps confirm local working petroleum system. Force majeure conditions are currently in operation as a result of wet weather and the COVID-19 pandemic. Activities will resume once conditions become favourable and travel restrictions are lifted. Activities in the year and which are ongoing include: Reprocessing of existing 2D seismic data   Geochemical surface soil gas sampling program   2D seismic programme Basin Analysis study Pinnacle Gold Pty Ltd (94.34%) Pinnacle Gold holds 6 Exploration Permits (EPMs) for gold, nickel and antimony in North Queensland and 2 Mineral Exploration Licenses (MELs) for gold and copper in the Northern Territory. The Queensland EPMs include substantial 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 focused on mapping and sampling known workings. Only two areas have been drilled. To date there has been no wide ranging systematic geochemical survey undertaken, yet the area clearly lies on potentially mineralising structures (Charters Towers – Black Jack – Mt Leyshon). Significant stream sediment anomalisms (see Figure 9 below) may not all be due to the proximate small veins. Pinnacle has reconsidered the exploration strategy for this mostly soil covered area, looking for large targets, Pinnacle previously completed a field program of low gold detection limit soil lines on a grid pattern with infill gridding of any elevated results. Historical initial shallow RC drilling on 2 of the EPMs returned mixed results, warranting further exploration and drilling to better define drill targets. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 13 Figure 9: EPM Locations Queensland DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 14 Pinnacle Gold has secured tenure that is thought to be highly prospective for gold and copper in the Northern Territory on the back of a successful NAGS survey that identified a number of anomalous areas within remote parts of the Northern Territory and Queensland that have received almost no historical exploration. Pinnacle Gold was one of the first companies to secure tenure as a direct result of the NAGS survey and as such have started the pioneering phase into deeply covered unexplored Australian prospective terrane. Figure 11: Pinnacle Gold MEL Locations Northern Territory Figure 12: NT stitched RTP magnetic image of the Tennant Creek region showing anomolous gold MMI catchments and MEL location DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 15 Coolgarra Minerals Pty Ltd (100%) Coolgarra Minerals is focussed on discovery and development of gold, antimony, nickel and cobalt and holds five granted EPMs to the south of Greenvale, QLD and one EPM west of Theodore in Central Queensland. The southernmost permit covers substantial historic gold workings at Janelle’s Hope and Wade’s with the Northern tenement areas immediately adjacent to the south of the Sconi nickel -cobalt project. Initial exploration 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) strata bound gold occurrence in the northern section now referred to as Wade's Prospect . Figure 13: Coolgarra EPM Locations Queensland DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 16 Figure 14 below is a satellite image of the southern section of EPM 19270 showing the soil grid lines with a macro view of the soil gold concentration contours at >25 ppb, > 50 ppb, and > 100 ppb. Figure 14: Soil Sample Grid on southern section of EPM 19270 Hartz Rare Earths Pty Ltd (100%) Hartz Rare Earths (HRE) have applications for two Mineral Exploration Licenses (MELs) in the Northern Territory. The project area is located approximately 855km south of Darwin and 420km north-west of Alice Springs. The target is a uranium copper molybdenum anomalous area highlighted in the recent Geoscience Australia survey. The geology and metal association indicate the potential for roll front uranium deposits within dry stream channels on the margin of the Tanami Desert. On grant of the exploration licenses, HRE is proposing to investigate this previously large unexplored target specifically for uranium, copper, molybdenum and vanadium using a denser geochemical survey. Initially this will involve further MMITM and conventional sampling, followed by traverses of shallow drilling.

DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 22 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) Remuneration policy The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Executive team. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payments chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. Further details on the remuneration of Directors and Executives are set out in this Remuneration Report. The Company aims to reward the Executive Director and Senior Management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company. The Board’s policy is to align Director and Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long-term incentives. During the year the Group did not engage the services of Remuneration consultants. In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive Director and Senior Management remuneration is separate and distinct. Non-Executive Director Remuneration The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. The Company’s specific policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Board members of the Company is as follows: The Constitution of the Company provides that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the Company in general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as the Directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The aggregate remuneration currently determined by the Company is $350,000 per annum. Additionally, Non-Executive Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for properly incurred expenses. If a Non-Executive Director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the Director, the Company may remunerate that Director by payment of a fixed sum determined by the Directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. However, no payment can be made if the effect would be to exceed the maximum aggregate amount payable to Non-Executive Directors. A Non-Executive Director is entitled to be paid travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Director's or general meetings of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company. All Directors have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Directors’ and Executive Officers’ option plan, subject to the approval of shareholders. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2020 is detailed in this Remuneration Report. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 23 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) Executive Director and Senior Management Remuneration The Company aims to reward the Executive Director and Senior Management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:  reward Executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;  align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders;   ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and The remuneration of the Executive Director and Senior Management may from time to time be fixed by the Board. The remuneration will comprise a fixed remuneration component and also may include offering specific short and long-term incentives, in the form of:  performance based salary increases and/or bonuses; and/or  the issue of options. During 2020 there were no discretionary bonuses paid (2019: $nil). There were no performace based salary increases or options issued that were performance related. All Directors and Executives have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Directors’ and Executive Officers’ Option Plan, subject to the approval of shareholders. All employees have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the DGR Global Employee Share Option Plan. The remuneration of the Executive Director and Senior Management for the year ended 30 June 2020 is detailed in this Remuneration Report. Relationship between remuneration and Company performance The Company and its subsidiaries’ principal activity is the generation of projects, and the provision of services and support provided to sponsored listed companies, within the mineral resources industry and accordingly only generates revenues for services and support provided and historically has generated losses. The Company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 21 August 2003. The following table shows the share price at the end of the financial year for the Company for the last five (5) years: 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Share price at year end Dividend declared Earnings (loss) per share (cents per share) $0.025 - 0.1 $0.135 - 0.5 $0.09 - (0.0) $0.105 - (0.7) $0.053 - (0.9) During the year ended 30 June 2020 the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares ranged from a low of $0.039 to a high of $0.12. As the Company is still in the generation of projects and exploration stage, the link between remuneration, company performance and shareholder wealth is tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of metals prices and market sentiment toward the sector, and as such increases or decreases may occur quite independent of Executive performance or remuneration.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement has been released as a separate document and is located on our website at www.dgrglobal.com.au ASIC MATTER On 31 October 2019, the Company received a letter from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) as part of its financial reporting surveillance program querying the Company’s accounting for its investments in SolGold plc (“SolGold”) and Aus Tin Mining Limited (“Aus Tin”). The Company responded to the queries raised by ASIC confirming that it believes that the accounting basis adopted for its investments in SolGold and Aus Tin is appropriate. On 2 March 2020, the Company received a letter from ASIC as a final response to the Company’s letter stating that they continue to disagree with the Company and that the Company should change its accounting treatment for its investments in SolGold and Aus Tin. After further correspondence between the Company and ASIC, including the opinion on the matter of an independent expert engaged by DGR agreeing with it’s accounting treatment, on 8 May 2020 the Company provided a response to ASIC advising that the Directors concluded the accounting treatment of fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments will not be changed in the 30 June 2020 financial statements. This position has been reached by the Directors having regard to the presumption in AASB128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures that if the entity holds, directly or indirectly, less than 20 per cent of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the entity does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated. The Directors believe DGR does not have significant influence over these investments and as such this cannot be clearly demonstrated to rebut the presumption within AASB128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. To date the Company has not received a response from ASIC to its letter dated 8 May 2020. AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION The Auditor’s Independence Declaration forms part of the Directors Report and can be found on page 36. Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

Due to DGR’s ability to sell down investments in listed entities and corporate bonds held, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 44 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (a) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows: The Group has adopted the following new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations as of 1 July 2019: Reference Title AASB 16 Leases Impact of adoption AASB 16 Leases Application date of standard Application date for the Group 1 January 2019 1 July 2019 AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated. Upon adoption on 1 July 2019, a ‘right-of-use’ asset of $2,174,250 was capitalised in the statement of financial position and recognised in Property, Plant and Equipment with a corresponding lease liability recognised of $2,174,250. The ‘right-of-use’ asset relates to lease contract on office premises. As there is no implicit rate in the lease, the Group has chosen to use 12% as the incremental borrowing rate for disounting purposes based on the interest rate payable on the convertible notes the Group has issued. Reconciliation of operating lease commitments at 30 June 2019 to 1 July 2019 lease liabilities Total operating lease commitments disclosed at 30 June 2019 Operating lease liability before discounting Discounted using incremental borrowing rate as at date of initial application Total lease liabilities recognised under AASB 16 as at 1 July 2019 $ 2,858,283 2,858,283 (684,033) 2,174,250 Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been recently issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Consolidated Entity is yet to evaluate the impact of those standards and interpretations on the financial statements. The Group anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 45 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (b) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of DGR Global Limited and its subsidiaries as at and for the period ended 30 June each year (the Group or the Consolidated Entity). Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Investments in subsidiaries held by DGR Global Limited are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of the parent entity less any impairment charges. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other revenues by the parent entity, and do not impact the recorded cost of the investment. Upon receipt of dividend payments from subsidiaries, the parent will assess whether any indicators of impairment of the carrying value of the investment in the subsidiary exist. Where such indicators exist, to the extent that the carrying value of the investment exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values. The difference between the above items and the fair value of consideration (including the fair value of any pre- existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or discount on acquisition. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained. Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent. Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 46 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (b) Basis of Consolidation Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income where applicable. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate is equal to or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Joint Arrangements Joint Operations The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of a joint operation activity have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Joint Ventures Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity’s share of net assets of the joint venture. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends receivable from joint venture entities reduces the carrying amount of the investment. Changes in Ownership Interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of DGR Global Limited. When the Group ceases to have control, or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (c) Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured. (d) Operating Segments An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This may include start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. Information about other operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”. (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents For the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (f) Trade and Other Receivables Receivables generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment. The group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 48 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (g) Financial Instruments Recognition and Initial Measurement Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. Classification and Subsequent Measurement (i) Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets at amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The business model of these financial assets is to hold to collect contractual cash flows and their contractual cash flows comprise of solely principal and interest. Financial assets at amortised cost include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, corporate bonds issued by Armour Energy Limited, cash on deposit and security bonds. (ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. These assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in the profit or loss. Convertible note receivables are held at fair value through profit or loss as the convertible feature does not meet the requirements of being held to collect soley payment of principal and interest and therefore cannot be carried at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The coupon rate received periodically over the term of the notes is classified as part of the fair value gain or loss in other income. (iii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Equity investments are classified as being at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. After initial recognition at fair value (being cost), the Company has elected to present in Other Comprehensive Income changes in the fair value of equity instrument investments. Unrealised gains and losses on investments are recognised in the financial assets revaluation reserve until the investment is sold or otherwise disposed of, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is transferred to retained earnings. (iii) Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, except for convertible notes which are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 49 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (g) Financial Instruments (continued) Fair Value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities, where appropriate, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other revenue when the Company’s right to receive payments is established (see note 11) and as long as they represent a return on investment. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other income or other expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as applicable. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gains/(losses). Dividend income is presented as other income. Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 31. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognized where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment of financial assets The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Group’s assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a twelve- month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next twelve months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. (h) Property, Plant & Equipment Property, plant & equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of property, plant & equipment constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable costs. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial year in which they are incurred. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 50 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (h) Property, Plant & Equipment (continued) Depreciation The depreciable amount of all property, plant & equipment is depreciated over their useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are: Class of property, plant & equipment Freehold building Plant and equipment Computers and office equipment Furniture and fittings Motor vehicles Depreciation 2.5% Straight line 10% - 35% Straight line 33.3% Straight line 20% Straight line 25% Straight line Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. Derecognition An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. (i) Exploration and Evaluation Assets Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but do not include overheads or administration expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. A regular review has been undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. A provision is raised against exploration and evaluation assets where the Directors are of the opinion that the carried forward net cost may not be recoverable or the right of tenure in the area lapses. The increase in the provision is charged against the results for the year. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the area from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structure, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis that restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 51 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (j) Impairment of Non-financial Assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (k) Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-60 days of recognition. (l) Provisions and Employee Benefits Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs. Employee benefits (i) Wages, salaries and annual leave Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. (ii) Long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wages and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on Australian corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 52 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (m) Leases The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. Right-of-use assets A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. Lease liabilities A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. (n) Share Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 53 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (o) Share-Based Payments The Group may provide benefits to Directors, employees or consultants in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby services may be undertaken in exchange for shares or options over shares (equity-settled transactions). The fair value of options granted to Directors, employees and consultants is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payments reserve). The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the recipients become unconditionally entitled to the options. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. An expense is still recognised for options that do not ultimately vest because a market condition was not met. Where the terms of options are modified, the expense continues to be recognised from grant date to vesting date as if the terms had never been changed. In addition, at the date of the modification, a further expense is recognised for any increase in fair value of the transaction as a result of the change. Where options are cancelled, they are treated as if vesting occurred on cancellation and any unrecognised expenses are taken immediately to the profit or loss. If new options are substituted for the cancelled options and designated as a replacement, the combined impact of the cancellation and replacement options are treated as if they were a modification. (p) Revenue The Goup generates revenue from the provision of management serveces to related entities. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the services is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entiteled to receive in exchange for those services. Services The Group’s performance obligation on management fees charged to related entities are fulfilled over time as the Group provides those management services. Revenues are recognised over time, which are invoiced monthly based on contractual terms. Interest Interest revenue is recognized as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method in accordance with AASB 9. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Government grants Government grants are recognised where these is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions wil be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognsied as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 54 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (q) Income Tax The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. The current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is recongised in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the deferred tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly against equity respectively. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. DGR Global Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The Company is responsible for recognising the current tax assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses for the tax consolidation group. The tax consolidated group have entered a tax funding agreement whereby each company in the tax consolidation group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidation group. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 55 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (r) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except where GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (s) Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of consideration received net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current. (t) Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit / (loss) attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:  The after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.  (u) Foreign Currencies Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve at the reporting date. (v) Comparatives When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures are adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. No adjustments have been made to the comparative figures for the current financial year.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data. (x) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Key judgments – exploration & evaluation assets The Group performs regular reviews on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. These reviews are based on detailed surveys and analysis of drilling results performed to reporting date. The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at 30 June 2020, the facts and circumstances do not suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. In considering this the Directors have had regard to the facts and circumstances that indicate a need for an impairment as noted in Accounting Standard AASB 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources”. Exploration and evaluation assets at 30 June 2020 were $10,449,117 (2019: $9,292,821). DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 57 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (x) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued) Key judgements – Significant influence over Associates Where the Group currently holds between 20% and 50% of the issued ordinary shares of certain companies management considered whether the Group had control over these companies and accordingly whether these companies should be consolidated into the Group. Several factors including but not limited to the relative proportion of other large shareholders, composition of the Board and the ability to direct decisions arrived at during Board meetings were considered. Based on the factors considered, it was concluded that the Group does not control these companies but rather has the ability to exert significant influence. Accordingly, the Group’s investments in these companies have been accounted for under the equity accounting method. Where the Group holds less than 20% of the issued ordinary shares of certain companies it was presumed pursuant to AASB 128, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, that the Group cannot exercise significant influence unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated. In determining whether the Group had significant influence, factors such as representation on the board of directors, participation in policy making decision, material transactions between the Group and the companies, interchange of managerial personnel or provision of essential technical information is considered. Other factors considered to determine whether the Group had significant influence included, the Group’s voting power in comparison to other shareholders, specific rights, corporate governance arrangements and the power to veto significant financial and operating decisions. During the current period ended 30 June 2020, the Group’s investment in Armour Energy Limited fell below 20%. As a result, management evaluated whether significant influence existed. The Group is the largest shareholder in Armour Energy Limited by a significant percentage. This results in the Group’s voting power being much larger than any other shareholder of Armour Energy Limited, giving it the ability to exert significantly influence. During the current period ended 30 June 2020, the Group’s investment in IronRidge Resources Limited (IRR) fell below 20%. As a result, management evaluated whether significant influence existed giving special consideration to the following factors: 1. Voting rights, potential voting rights and voting power At 30 June 2020 the Group held 18.05% of the issued capital of IRR. It was the second largest shareholder behind Assore with 25.4%. The next largest shareholder was Sumitomo with 7.86%. Accordingly it was concluded that DGR’s voting power is not much larger than any other shareholder of IRR, and in fact there was one other share holder that has a significantly larger shareholding than DGR Global Ltd. 2. Representation on the Board of Directors IronRidge Resources Limited’s Board is comprised of seven Directors. There are two common Director on the Boards of IRR and DGR. These two common Directors act in their own right as they have a significant personal investment in IronRidge in their own right. The Directors are common Directors and not appointed to the Board of IRR as representatives of DGR, as DGR does not have any contract or right with IRR which provides DGR the ability to appoint or retain members to the IRR Board or any of the Committees of the Board. 3. Participation in policy-making processes DGR has no rights in regards to policy making processes, other than voting rights as a shareholder. 4. Material transactions between investor and investee IRR has a commercial arrangement with DGR fo the provision of administration services and office space in Brisbane. IRR has offices in Ghana, Ivory Coast and Chad which have no connection with DGR. IRR is an African focused minerals exploration company with lithium pegmatite discovery in Ghana, extensive grassroots gold portfolio in Code D’Ivoire and a potential new gold province discovery in Chad. The provision of the administration services by DGR is not substantive to IRR’s operations. IRR pays DGR a monthly administration fee of $24,000 and is the only transaction between DGR and IRR accordingly management have concluded that the transactions between DGR and IRR are not material in quantum, or by their nature. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 58 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (x) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued) Key judgements – Significant influence over Associates (continued) 5. Interchange of managerial personnel IRR has a dedicated work force based in Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire and Chad and employs its own management team that has a strong track record in the areas of exploration, mine development, infrastructure development and global equity and debt financing. IRR employees hold the positions of Chief Operating Officer, Exploration Manager, Exploration Manager – Cote d’Ivoire and Principal Geologist. These positions within IRR are responsible for deriving and implementing the operating and financial policies of IRR. None of these positions have any association with DGR. Mr Mascolo currently acts as CEO of IRR and is a Non Executive Director of DGR. Mr Mascolo has clear roles at both companies and has employment agreements / Director appointment contracts that are clearly distinct from IRR and DGR. The fact that Mr Mascolo holds equity interests in each entity supports the assertion that he is acting in a personal appointment. The Company Secretary role is generally an administration role and many companies use the same company secretary, and accordingly, there is no evidence of interchange, rather the company secretary has separate employment contracts and obligations for both companies. The CFO has Board reporting responsibilities to both boards and the financial information presented is restricted to the relevant entity only. The CFO role also has two separate contracts in place with separate terms and conditions and responsibility. It is common for executives of junior resources companies to have roles with multiple companies in order to achieve the objectives of recruiting executives with the relevant skills while efficiently using the funds of their shareholders. 6. Provision of essential technical information IRR has offices in Brisbane, Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire with their own respective IT infrastructure. IRR maintains its own technical software programs, databases and specialist IT infrastructure. DGR provides no essential technical information or services in relation to IRR’s primary objective of exploration. DGR only provides administrative services in return for its monthly administration fee. Accordingly, it can be concluded that DGR does not provide any essential technical information and does not provide DGR with the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of IRR. 7. Other factors considered DGR does not have any rights or written arrangements to appoint members to the IRR Board or committees of the Board. DGR does not have the power to veto significant aniancial and operating decisions of IRR. Based on the above assessment, management concluded that DGR lost significant influence over IRR when its ownership percentage fell below 20% on 11 May 2020. IRR completed a subsequent capital raising in June 2020 and DGR did not participate in the IRR share placement resulting in DGR’s interest in IRR being further diluted. With respect to the Group’s investment in SolGold plc, Aus Tin Mining Limited and NewPeak Metals Limited management concluded based on its professional judgment that there was no clearly demonstrable evidence that indicated that the Group had significant influence. DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 59 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (continued) (x) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued) Key judgements – Convertible note payable The Group's convertible notes have been treated as a financial liability, in accordance with the principles set out in AASB 132. The key criterion for liability classification is whether there is an unconditional right to avoid delivery of cash for another financial asset to settle the contractual obligation. The terms and conditions applicable to the convertible notes require the Group to settle the obligation in either cash, or in the Company's own shares. The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the parent entity, at the option of the holder, or repayable in October 2020. The conversion rate is based on a variable formula subject to adjustments for share price movement. Management determined that these terms give rise to a derivative financial liability. The initial consideration received for the note was deemed to be fair value of the liability at the issue date. The liability will subsequently be recognised on a fair value basis at each reporting period. The fair value at each reporting date has been determined using a binomial tree model. The key assumptions used and sensitivity of those assumpions in the binomial tree model has been disclosed in Note 31. Key judgments – Corporate Bonds The Armour Energy corporate bonds are debt instruments measured at amortised cost for financial reporting purposes. The Group’s intention is to hold these corporate bonds to collect the contractual cash flows. The characteristics of the contractual cash flows are that of soley the principal and interest. Key judgments – share based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black- Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity settled share based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact the profit or loss and equity.

On 31 October 2019, the Company received a letter from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) as part of its financial reporting surveillance program querying the Company’s accounting for its investments in SolGold plc (“SolGold”) and Aus Tin Mining Limited (“Aus Tin”). The Company responded to the queries raised by ASIC confirming that it believes that the accounting basis adopted for its investments in SolGold and Aus Tin is appropriate. On 2 March 2020, the Company received a letter from ASIC as a final response to the Company’s letter stating that they continue to disagree with the Company and that the Company should change its accounting treatment for its investments in SolGold and Aus Tin. After further correspondence between the Company and ASIC, including the opinion on the matter of an independent expert engaged by DGR agreeing with it’s accounting treatment, on 8 May 2020 the Company provided a response to ASIC advising that the Directors concluded the accounting treatment of fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments will not be changed in the 30 June 2020 financial statements. This position has been reached by the Directors having regard to the presumption in AASB128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures that if the entity holds, directly or indirectly, less than 20 per cent of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the entity does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated. The Directors believe DGR does not have significant influence over these investments and as such this cannot be clearly demonstrated to rebut the presumption within AASB128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. To date the Company has not received a response from ASIC to its letter dated 8 May 2020. Classification of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income For equity securities that are not held for trading, the Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss.

Operating Segments Segment information Identification of reportable segments The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments (a) Accounting policies adopted Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group. (b) Inter-segment transactions Corporate charges are allocated to segments based on the segments’ overall proportion of overhead expenditure within the Group. The Board of Directors believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost recoveries. Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements. (c) Segment assets Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. (d) Unallocated items The following items of revenue, expenses and assets are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:    impairment of assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense income tax expense current and deferred tax DGR Global Limited annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 83 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020 Note 28.

This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements. There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, receivables and payables, shares in listed corporations, investements in convertible notes and corporate bonds. The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. The Group's risk management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these matters are set out below: (b) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when counterparties fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. The Group’s objective is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, in the event other parties fail to discharge their obligations under financial instruments in relation to each class of financial asset at reporting date is the carrying amount in the statement of financial position which, for the relevant assets, is summarised in the table above. Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the audit committee. It primarily arises from exposure to receivables as well as through deposits with financial institutions. There is no collateral held as security. The Group’s material credit risk exposure is to loans with related parties, related party debtors, investments in convertible notes and corporate bonds.

Financial Risk Management (continued) (c) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group will always have sufficient liquidity to meets its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions. Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the audit committee. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and liquidity ratios such as working capital. The Group’s working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, has decreased from a surplus of $1,040,732 in 2019 to a deficit of $6,603,778 in 2020.

It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk). The Group does not have any material exposure to market risk other than interest rate risk and other equity securities price risk. Interest rate risk The objective of interest rate risk management is to manage and control interest rate risk exposures with acceptable parameters while optimising the return. Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate instruments.
