Dear Shareholder

Opportunity to participate in the Navarre Minerals Limited 2015 Share Purchase Plan

The Board of Directors of Navarre Minerals Limited ( Navarre or the Company ) is pleased to invite you to participate in the Company’s 2015 Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ). The SPP allows eligible shareholders to subscribe for up to $15,000 worth of additional shares in Navarre at a subscription price of 3.0 cents per share , without participants being required to pay brokerage or other costs that would normally apply to an on-market purchase of shares.

In June 2015, Navarre announced the discovery of outcropping high-grade gold mineralisation during routine reconnaissance mapping and sampling on its Ararat exploration licence. Referred to as the Irvine and Benno prospects, the gold mineralisation is located in rocks that appear similar to the host rocks at the nearby multi-million ounce Stawell Magdala Gold Mine, which is owned by Navarre’s largest shareholder, Newmarket Gold Inc. These new prospects are located near surface and 15 kilometres from Stawell’s operating gold plant.

Purpose of the Fundraising

Proceeds of the SPP will be applied to advancing exploration on the Irvine and Benno prospects, and to meet ongoing working capital requirements.

The exploration program includes testing the gold potential with shallow angled aircore drilling at Irvine and Benno as well as completion of the gravity survey to guide the drill programme.

Key Points of the SPP

The SPP is expected to open on Monday 5 October 2015 and close on Friday 30 October 2015. Details of the SPP are set out in the accompanying Terms and Conditions. You should read the Terms and Conditions in their entirety before deciding whether to participate.

Key points of the SPP are as follows:

  • Under the SPP, you may acquire up to $15,000 worth of new shares in the Company in parcels of $2,000, $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 as set out in the attached Application Form.

  • The subscription price of the new shares is 3.0 cents each , which represents a discount of 9% to the last ASX traded price of Navarre shares (3.3 cents) on 22 September 2015 (the last day on which Navarre shares were traded before the SPP announcement), or a discount of 8% to the volume weighted average price of Navarre shares over the last five days on which Navarre shares traded on ASX immediately prior to the announcement of the SPP.

  • Shares allocated under the SPP will rank equally in all respects with existing fully paid ordinary shares of the Company quoted on the ASX.

N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the SPP is 27,774,081 shares, being 30% of Navarre’s current issued share capital.

Shareholder approval will not be sought for the SPP.

Participating in the SPP

Only shareholders of the Company with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand at 7:00pm Melbourne time on Friday 25 September 2015 ( Eligible Shareholders ) are entitled to participate in the SPP. The offer is non-renounceable, which means that the rights of Eligible Shareholders to participate in the SPP are not transferable. Participation in the SPP is optional.

To participate in the SPP, you can subscribe and pay electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the personalised Application Form (and if you make payment electronically, you do not need to return your Application Form). Alternatively, if you wish to pay by cheque, you must fill out your personalised Application Form and return it with your cheque to the Company’s share registry, Boardroom Pty Limited, by no later than 5:00pm Melbourne time on Friday 30 October 2015.

2015 Share Purchase Plan Terms and Conditions

The Company’s SPP allows Eligible Shareholders to acquire up to AUD$15,000 worth of New Shares at a subscription price of AUD$0.03 per Share. This offer is made in accordance with ASIC Class Order 09/425 which grants relief from the requirement to prepare a prospectus for the offer of shares under an SPP.

1. Eligibility

To be eligible to participate in the SPP, you must be an Eligible Shareholder as at the Record Date. Each offer to Eligible Shareholders is made on the same terms and conditions.

2. Application for Shares

Participation in the SPP is optional. The amount an Eligible Shareholder may invest under the SPP is limited. The Application Form specifies parcels of a particular value of Shares for which applications can be made. An Eligible Shareholder may apply for a parcel of Shares in any one only of the following amounts:

Offer A: AUD$15,000 (500,000 Shares) Offer B: AUD$10,000 (333,334 Shares) Offer C: AUD$5,000 (166,667 Shares) Offer D: AUD$2,000 (66,667 Shares)

ASIC Class Order 09/425 requires that each Eligible Shareholder may only purchase up to AUD$15,000 worth of Shares under the SPP. The AUD$15,000 limit applies irrespective of how many Shares an Eligible Shareholder holds on the Record Date.

Joint/Multiple Holdings

If an Eligible Shareholder (other than a Custodian) receives more than one copy of this offer, or if an Eligible Shareholder holds Shares in more than one capacity (that is, because they are both a sole and joint holder of Shares), the maximum amount the Eligible Shareholder may apply to invest under the SPP in all capacities is AUD$15,000. Joint holders of Shares are taken to be a single registered holder of Shares for the purposes of determining whether they are an Eligible Shareholder and the certification required to be given as part of the Application Form will be taken to have been given by all of them.

Trustee/Nominee Holdings

If an Eligible Shareholder acts as a trustee or a nominee and is expressly noted on the share register as holding Shares on account of a named beneficiary (that is, is a Custodian), the named beneficiary will be taken to be the registered holder of those Shares and the Custodian may apply, on behalf of each beneficiary, for up to AUD$15,000 worth of New Shares per beneficiary, subject to providing the Company with a custodian certificate that complies with the requirements of ASIC Class Order 09/425 ( Custodian Certificate ). By providing a Custodian Certificate, an Eligible Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company that it is a ‘custodian’ within the definition of that term in ASIC Class Order 09/425. Custodian Certificates can be obtained from the Company’s share registry, Boardroom Pty Limited, by telephone on 1300 737 760, by facsimile on (02) 9290 9655 or by email to [email protected].

2

N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D

If a person holds Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person, but is not a Custodian, it cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings apply (see “Joint/Multiple Holdings” above).

3. Non-renounceable Offer

The offer under the SPP is non-renounceable. Eligible Shareholders cannot transfer their right to acquire Shares under the SPP to another person.

4. Rights Attaching to Shares

All New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares and will carry the same voting rights and other entitlements of existing Shares as at the Issue Date.

5. Price of New Shares

The issue price of the New Shares is AUD$0.03 each, which is, in accordance with the Listing Rules, at least 80% of the volume weighted average price of existing Shares quoted on the ASX during the last 5 days in which sales in the Company’s Shares were recorded immediately prior to the Announcement Date (being AUD$0.0326).

The market price of the Shares may change after the New Shares are offered under the SPP. However this will not affect the price at which participating Eligible Shareholders will receive the New Shares under the SPP. This means that the Issue Price for the New Shares under the SPP may be higher or lower than the market price of existing Shares at the date of allotment.

6. Number of Shares Issued

The maximum number of New Shares to be issued is 27,774,081. The Company reserves the right to scale back Applications on any basis it determines. When fewer New Shares are allotted than were applied for by an Eligible Shareholder, surplus application monies will be returned, without interest, after the Closing Date.

The number of New Shares issued to an Eligible Shareholder (including as a result of a scaling back) will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares.

7. How to Apply - Application Form

Eligible Shareholders wishing to participate in the SPP must follow the instructions set out on the enclosed personalised Application Form. You can either:

  • subscribe and pay electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the personalised Application Form. If you choose this option, you do not need to return your completed Application Form; or

  • subscribe and pay by cheque, in which case a completed Application Form together with your cheque must be sent in the reply paid envelope so that it is received by the Company’s share registry by no later than the Closing Date unless the Closing Date is otherwise extended by the Company.

8. Issue Date

The New Shares will be issued under the SPP no later than Friday 6 November 2015 and quotation on the ASX will commence the trading day following the Issue Date and no later than Monday 9 November

N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D

  1. You should receive your holding statement or transaction confirmation statement shortly thereafter.

9. Cost of Participation

No brokerage, commission, stamp duty or other transaction costs will be payable by you in respect of an issue of New Shares under the SPP.

10. Variation and Termination

The Company reserves the right to modify, terminate or waive compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions at any time. The Company will notify the ASX of any modification, waiver or termination of the SPP.

Without limiting the above, the Company may issue to any Eligible Shareholder fewer New Shares than the Eligible Shareholder applied for under the SPP if, in the opinion of the Company, the proposed issue would contravene any applicable law or the Listing Rules of the ASX.

11. Company’s Discretion Regarding Shortfall Shares

The Board reserves the right to place any Shortfall Shares in their absolute discretion and at a price no less than the price of the New Shares offered under the SPP, to the extent that any such placement of Shortfall Shares can be made having regard to Listing Rule 7.1 and the Corporations Act.

12. Disputes

The Company may settle in any manner it thinks fit any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise in connection with or by reason of the operation of the SPP, whether generally or in relation to any participant or Application, and the decision of the Company will be conclusive and binding on all Shareholders and other persons to whom that determination relates.

The Company reserves the right to waive strict compliance with any provision of the Terms and Conditions.

13. Foreign Shareholders

Distribution of the SPP offer documentation (including these Terms and Conditions and Application Form) in jurisdictions outside of Australia may be restricted by law. This documentation does not constitute an offer of, or invitation to subscribe for securities in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation.

Shareholders resident outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether, in order to enable them to participate in the SPP, any governmental or other consents are required or other formalities need to be observed. Where this documentation has been sent to Shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia who are not entitled to participate, it is sent to them for information purposes only.

14. Effect of Receipt

Receipt by the Company’s share registry of a completed Application Form or, in the case of an Eligible Shareholder who chooses to subscribe and pay electronically for New Shares, receipt by the Company of an electronic payment of the Application Money will:

  • represent an acknowledgement that the Shareholder named on the Shareholder’s Application Form ( Named Shareholder ) is an Eligible Shareholder;

15. Reliance on Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions have been prepared in accordance with ASIC Class Order 09/425, which relates to share purchase plans that do not require a prospectus or disclosure document.
