Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML) is pleased to announce that its existing shareholders have an opportunity to participate in the Company’s 2014 Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ).
The SPP will be priced at 6.5 cents per fully paid ordinary share which represents a discount of 5.8% to Navarre’s last closing price on the ASX and a 17.6% discount to Navarre’s 30 day volume weighted average price on the ASX.
The Company is also pleased to announce that its major shareholder, and the owner of Victoria’s largest gold mines at Stawell and Fosterville, Crocodile Gold Corp., has agreed to acquire an additional 4,615,384 million shares in Navarre at the same issue price of 6.5 cents per share to raise $300,000 (before costs) through a placement ( Placement ) . This will increase Crocodile’s interest in Navarre to 15.3% (before taking into account any shares issued under the SPP or on exercise of existing options).

Proceeds of the SPP and Placement will be applied to advancing exploration on the Company’s 100%-owned Eclipse copper-gold prospect and the broader Western Victoria Copper Project, located 300km NW of Melbourne in the Miga Arc Copper Belt (Figure 1).
The SPP and Placement follows a successful drill campaign at the Eclipse Prospect, which resulted in the discovery of significant gold and copper mineralisation only 30 metres from surface. This mineralisation is believed to be associated with a deeper porphyry source. A recent geophysical survey has highlighted undrilled targets beneath the mineralisation. A drill program to test the deeper copper and gold potential of the Eclipse prospect is planned to commence in June 2014.
SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
In recognition of the support of the Company’s existing shareholders, Navarre is conducting a SPP to give its eligible shareholders the opportunity to each acquire up to a maximum of $15,000 worth of new fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( New Shares ) (ranking equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares) at an attractive price, free of all brokerage and commissions.

Eclipse – part of Navarre’s Western Victoria Copper Project
The Eclipse prospect is one of four porphyry targets within the 100%-owned Western Victoria Copper Project. The Project captures multiple, largely untested targets in 130 kilometres of Miga Arc volcanics. The Miga Arc is a continental margin arc setting like the Andes, host to the world’s largest known copper porphyry deposits.
Porphyry deposits typically contain hundreds of millions to several billion tonnes of ore with contained metal grades generally averaging less than 1%. Typical copper and gold grades in a porphyry copper deposit range from 0.2% to more than 1% copper and from 0.2 g/t to 2.0 g/t gold.
Results of Navarre’s recent drill program add support to new joint research by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Victoria suggesting that Eclipse is part of a buried Andean-style magmatic arc, prospective for porphyry coppergold and epithermal style mineralisation.

Mr Edgar has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity which he is undertaking, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Edgar consents to the inclusion in the release of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
Forward-Looking Statements
This announcement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of securities laws of applicable jurisdictions. Forwardlooking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “objectives”, “outlook”, “guidance” or other similar words, and include statements regarding certain plans, strategies and objectives of management and expected financial performance. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of Navarre and any of its officers, employees, agents or associates. Actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those statements are based. Exploration potential is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and Navarre assumes no obligation to update such information.
