The business of Eurogold (EUG) have not gone well,
cynic person could say the the bord has managed to clean up
the company from cash for their own salaries without making any succesfull business.
Benefit of the several year's operations goes to directors and to the major owner Allied Properties,
the director Gunzburg is serving all three companies EUG, DRA and Allied Properties.
The three "clean up" directors appears to stay in the Dragon Board,
Dragon has 10 million cash, what will happen next??
This is how it has gone so far:
1.Eurogold invested directly and through Brinkley Mines possiby
about 15-20 million A$ to Dragon mining.
For example in 2010 Brinkley paid 3 million A$ for4.5 % of Dragon,

2. Eurogold runs out of cash and looses quotation in ASX. To pay salaries of bosses
major owner Allied Group provides loans with high interest
like 12 %. The amount of loans is 1.750 million A$ at the end of Q2 2014
