With a $5 million investment, DGO Gold (ASX:DGO) will be helping De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG) expand and accelerate its exploration program in Pilbara, Australia.
De Grey’s primary operation, the Pilbara gold project, features multiple prospective deposits, which the company says contain 406,000 ounces of gold. In a press release, the company said DGO Gold’s investment would go towards expanding its drilling program and to pre-feasibility studies at the Pilbara project.
This would entail additional funding to improving base level exploration data, resource extensions and infill drilling, along with an open pit PFS study set to be completed sometime this year.
At the cost of $0.20 per share, DGO entered a subscription agreement with De Grey for 25 million shares of the company, resulting in a $5 million investment. De Grey has also agreed to issue up to $1 million in equity to its drilling partner, Top Drill, who is conducting an ongoing drilling program at the Pilbara project.
“We are extremely pleased with this endorsement from DGO, one of our Pilbara neighbours. DGO is backed by significant gold investors and led by the well credentialled geologist, Ed Eshuys,” De Grey chairman Simon Lill wrote in a statement.
“DGO have been attracted to our significant and underexplored mineralised shear zones. De Grey will utilise funds raised to expand its current exploration program across this region.”
Gold was trading at AUD$1,705.36 per ounce as of 3:45 p.m. EST on Tuesday, May 22.
