ASX Announcement

10 April 2015

Navarre Minerals Limited Navarre Minerals commences drilling at Stawell

ABN 66 125 140 105 Corridor Gold Project, Victoria ASX Code: NML

  • Up to 2,000m of combined reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling planned in 10 - 15 holes. Drilling expected to complete in 4 to 6

  • Corporate Details weeks with results due in May - June

  • Issued capital: 87.6M ordinary shares • Drilling will test for gold mineralisation associated with induced 2.3M unlisted options polarisation (IP) anomalies on a concealed Stawell Magdala look-alike target

Directors & Management: Kevin Wilson • IP anomalies are thought to represent mineralisation and (Non-Executive Chairman) hydrothermal alteration on the west flank of the Grange basalt dome Geoff McDermott at depths of approximately 30m to more than 350m below surface (Managing Director) John Dorward (Non-Executive Director) Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML) has commenced drilling operations at its 100%-owned Stawell Corridor Gold Project, located 170km west of Melbourne Colin Naylor (Figures 1, 2 & 3). (Non-Executive Director) The drill program is targeting gold mineralisation believed to occur over a strike Jane Nosworthy length of 1,500m and revealed as four IP anomalies coincident with the west flank (Company Secretary) of the interpreted Grange basalt dome. The Grange prospect is thought to have Wessley Edgar similar geology to the nearby 5 million ounce Magdala Gold deposit, currently being (Exploration Manager) mined by Navarre’s largest shareholder, Crocodile Gold Corp. The target area is concealed by approximately 30m of recent un-mineralised cover and has never been drill tested.

The objective of the drill program is to test the Grange Exploration Target located on the western flank of the Grange basalt dome (see ASX release of 19 March 2015 and Figure 4). Using an analogy to Stawell’s Magdala gold deposit, it is estimated that the Grange Exploration Target contains between approximately 6Mt and 10Mt at a gold grade of between approximately 4 g/t Au and 6 g/t Au for approximately 800,000 to 1,900,000 ounces of possible contained gold mineralisation. Note the potential quantity and grade of the Grange Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and is not based upon existing drill data. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

The 2,000m drill program comprises at least 3 diamond holes and up to 12 RC Tel: +61 (0)3 5358 8625 holes. Drill samples will be geologically logged and scanned on-site using a Field Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (FPXRF) instrument. Samples from anomalous Email: [email protected] intervals identified by FPXRF scanning will be assayed at a commercial laboratory Website: www.navarre.com.au using standard analytical methods. Assay results are expected in May to June.

About Navarre Minerals Limited:

Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML) is an Australian-based resources company that is creating value from a portfolio of early to advanced stage gold and copper projects in Victoria, Australia. Navarre’s aim is to discover and develop large low-cost copper and gold production through its exploration successes.

Navarre is searching for new long-life gold deposits in the partially covered extension of a corridor of rocks that host the Stawell (~5 million ounce) and Ararat (~1 million ounce) gold deposits. The Tatyoon discovery is the Company’s prime focus for 2015, located 50km south-east of the operating Stawell Gold Mine which is owned by Navarre’s largest shareholder and leading Victorian gold producer, Crocodile Gold Corp.

The Company is also targeting large porphyry- copper, VMS and gold deposits. The Eclipse, Lexington, Pollockdale and Glenlyle prospects are four initial porphyry and/ or VMS targets identified within the Western Victoria Copper Project. The Project captures multiple, largely untested targets in 130km of western Victoria’s newly uncovered Miga Arc volcanics. The Miga Arc is similar in setting to the Andes in South America, host to the world’s largest known collection of porphyry copper deposits. Grassroots exploration of the Company’s extensive exploration permits is at an early stage and more than 50 new targets remain to be thoroughly drill tested.

At the high-grade Tandarra prospect within the North Bendigo Goldfield of central Victoria, exploration work is targeting the next generation of gold deposits under shallow cover 40kms north of the 22 million ounce Bendigo Goldfield. Under a farmout agreement, Catalyst Metals Limited is earning a 51% equity interest in Tandarra by spending $3 million over four years by advancing the project towards mineral resource status.

Navarre has a highly experienced leadership team with 120 combined years of exploration, mining and finance industry experience with a proven track-record of discovery and project development.
