TARGET co-funding

Navarre has recently been awarded a grant of up to $626,150 under the Victorian Government’s TARGET Minerals Exploration Initiative (TARGET) to co-fund exploration at the Irvine and Benno prospects following review by an independent panel of experts (see NML ASX release 28 June 2016). The Company now seeks proceeds from the Entitlement Offer and Placement to fund Navarre’s share of the costs of an expected $1.2 million program comprising geophysics, aircore and diamond drilling. TARGET is a $15 million initiative of the Victorian Government which provides funding of up to 50% of eligible exploration costs of approved projects and includes geophysics and drilling programs that test innovative, technically sound geological models, new concepts and ideas.

The program is designed to test the potential for Irvine and Benno to be analogues of the multi-million ounce Stawell Magdala gold deposit located on the opposite side of the Stawell Granite in similar rocks, 15 kilometres to the north.

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 is searching for gold deposits in the partially covered extension of a corridor of rocks that host the Stawell (~5 million ounce) and Ararat (~1 million ounce) goldfields. The discovery of outcropping gold at the Irvine and Benno prospects is a prime focus for the Company in 2016. These are located 15km south of the operating Stawell Gold Mine which is owned by Navarre’s largest shareholder and leading Victorian gold producer, Newmarket Gold Inc.

The Company is also targeting large VMS, porphyry-copper and gold deposits. The Western Victoria Copper Project captures multiple, largely untested targets in 130km of western Victoria’s newly uncovered Stavely Arc volcanics.

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 farm-out 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.
