Stavely Arc Victoria’s emerging copper – gold province

  • ❑ Stavely Arc is one of three volcanic arc systems in SE Australia

  • ❑ Volcanic arcs host large mineral deposits:

  • porphyry copper (Macquarie Arc: Cadia Valley & North Parkes)

  • epithermal (Mt Read: Henty; Macquarie Arc: Lake Cowal)

  • VMS (Mt Read: Mt Lyell, Rosebery, Hellyer)

  • ultramafic shear-hosted nickel (Mt Read: Avebury)

  • Stavely Arc is comparable to Macquarie Arc and Mt Read Volcanics but at an earlier stage of exploration

  • ❑ Stavely Arc mineral systems are likely, yet remain undiscovered as 99% of volcanics are concealed by shallow younger cover (<100m)

Western Victoria Copper Project Three mineral projects in under-explored Stavely Arc Volcanics

Recent copper hits in Stavely Arc highlight emergence of new mineral province:

  • 32m @ 5.9% Cu, 1g/t Au, 58g/t Ag from 62m at Thursdays Gossan (ASX: SVY 26 Sept 2019)

  • Strong potential for Thursdays Gossan analogues in Navarre’s Western Victoria Copper Project - 3 projects areas in Stavely Arc:

  • Glenlyle Project (100% Navarre - 46km[2] ) EL 5497

  • Black Range Project (100% Navarre - 124km[2] ) EL 4590

  • Stavely Project JV (100%, with Stavely Minerals earning 80% - 201km[2] ) EL 5425

  • 9,000m AC, RC & diamond drilling to test multiple targets at Glenlyle and Eclipse to commence in December 2019

  • Stavely Minerals Limited to commence diamond drilling on Stavely JV property before year end

17.

Glenlyle Silver – Gold Project Early signs encouraging…

ASXNML Target area concealed by post-mineral cover, ineffectively tested by historical work programs

  • Circular volcanic complex >5km diameter

  • On extension of same volcanic belt that hosts Thursdays Gossan

  • First-pass air-core drilling intercepts up to 390g/t Ag, 4 g/t Au, 0.7% Zn, 0.3% Pb*

  • Discovered >150m wide mineralised zone - open to N,S & E

  • Under-explored with only 4 drill holes below 100m

Assay: 251 g/t silver, 0.6 g/t gold & 0.1% zinc
----- End of picture text -----

  • Further potential exists for VMS, epithermal, porphyry and shear-hosted ultramafic mineral systems like Thursdays Gossan

  • Large air-core & diamond program planned to delineate and expand targets capable of yielding high value mineral deposits

Black Range Project - Eclipse Prospect Drill for source of enriched copper and gold blanket

==> picture [158 x 76] intentionally omitted <==

  • ❑ Historical 1980s - 1990s CRAE Project, partially concealed under post mineral cover

  • ❑ Eclipse Target partially tested to date:

  • Discovery of enriched copper (chalcocite) blanket starting 30m below surface – up to 3.2% Cu and 3.6 g/t Au

  • Chalcocite blanket implies potential deeper copper source

  • Broad zones of primary copper, gold, silver & zinc in drilling beneath chalcocite:

136m @ 0.3g/t Au, 107m @ 0.2% Cu & 95m @ 0.1% Cu*

  • Geophysics indicates Cu-Au zone offset from deeper and larger coincident magnetic & chargeability anomaly

Navarre 2019 - 2020

Key messages

==> picture [158 x 76] intentionally omitted <==

Navarre has a clear focus and strong outlook for the year ahead driven by:

1. Strong sentiment for Victorian gold and base metals, based not only on Fosterville but also major copper discovery in the Stavely Arc

2. Navarre has a well defined and fully funded 50,000m drilling program focussed on 5 key project areas

3. Navarre has a successful track record for mineral discoveries in Victoria

4. Potential for Navarre to declare a maiden resource during 2020

5. Strengthened balance sheet of ~$10M cash, incl. introduction of 1832 Asset Management as key investor

6. Strong support from major shareholders

21.

==> picture [147 x 460] intentionally omitted <==

Conclusions

Execution of Company’s Gold Strategy is now underway 16,000m drilling program commenced at Stawell Corridor Gold Project >25,000m drilling program to resume at Tandarra JV in Q1’20

Western Victoria Copper Project has drill ready targets 9,000m drilling program kicks off in December 2019

– Exposure to Victoria’s two exploration hotspots north Bendigo & emerging Stavely Arc mineral province

Strong news flow expected over next 12 months with ~50,000m of drilling to be completed on Navarre’s mineral properties
