Key terms of the agreement include:

  • Stavely Minerals may earn up to an 80% interest in EL5425 in two stages –

  • In the first earn-in stage, Stavely Minerals must sole fund $150,000 of exploration costs in the first two years to earn a 51% interest, and

  • After completion of the first earn-in stage, Stavely Minerals may elect to proceed to the second earn-in stage,

  • In the second earn-in stage, Stavely Minerals must sole fund an additional $300,000 of exploration costs in the next three years to earn an additional 29% interest

  • After the second earn-in period, both parties are to contribute to Joint Venture expenditure on a pro-rata basis relative to their participating interest or dilute their interest in accordance with a specified formula

  • If a participant’s interest falls below 5%, that participant’s interest will convert to a Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty of 1%

  • If a participant’s interest is converted to the NSR royalty, the other participant is granted an option to redeem the NSR royalty for the payment of $200,000 within two years of the conversion

  • All other Joint Venture terms are as per industry standard

Stavely Minerals’ Managing Director, Mr Chris Cairns said – “We are delighted to enter into this agreement significantly expanding our access to exploration areas within the highly prospective Stavely Volcanic Belt. We believe the Stavely Volcanic Belt has the potential to host multiple alkalic copper-gold porphyry deposits and is significantly underexplored compared to the Lachlan Fold Belt in neighbouring New South Wales. We look forward to a strong working relationship with the Navarre Minerals management and technical staff.”

Yours sincerely,
