STAWELL GOLD CORRIDOR DRILLING DEMONSTRATES GROWTH POTENTIAL

  • First results received from diamond drilling and air-core drilling for two prospects within Navarre’s 60km long Stawell Corridor Gold Project enhance the potential scale of mineralised systems

Irvine prospect – Resolution and Adventure lodes

  • Down-plunge extensions of gold mineralisation confirmed at each of the Resolution and Adventure lodes, with first 3 deeper diamond holes confirming gold mineralisation continues to at least 300m depth, and remain open

  • Highlight intersections include:

  • 4.75m @ 3.5 g/t Au from 206.9m downhole, including 1.15m @ 9.8g/t Au in AD001

  • 4.6m @ 3.5 g/t Au from 327.3m downhole in AD002

  • Drilling to date confirms the mineralised quartz–sulphide structures occur in geometries similar to the gold shoot patterns of the on-strike 4Moz Magdala Gold Mine

  • Shallow air-core drilling at the northern end of Resolution Lode provides evidence of a potential new gold shoot which will now be assessed with diamond drilling. A best result of 9m @ 2.1 g/t Au from 6m was returned.

Langi Logan prospect

  • First results from an ongoing 10,000m air-core drilling program testing multiple priority targets on the prospective margins of the Langi Logan basalt dome have been received

  • A highlight intersection of 1m @ 21.2 g/t Au confirms shallow high-grade gold mineralisation over a strike length of 650m at Target A for follow-up diamond drill testing. This zone includes previously reported intercepts[1] :

  • 11m @ 5.1 g/t Au from within a broader interval of 33m @ 2.9 g/t Au in LLA014

  • 2m @ 19.4 g/t Au , including 1m @ 33.6g/t Au in LLA031

  • 5 drill rigs now active across Navarre’s Victorian gold and base metals properties as part of a 50,000m drilling campaign, providing strong news flow in 2020

Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML) (Navarre or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on the progress of its drilling activities for its Stawell Corridor Gold Project (Figure 1), where Navarre has recently re-commenced drilling, initially focused on testing depth extensions at the shallow Irvine gold discovery as well as testing priority targets identified at the Langi Logan prospect.

Stawell Gold Corridor Background

The Company is searching for large gold deposits in an extension of a corridor of rocks that host the 5Moz Stawell and 1Moz Ararat goldfields – “The Stawell Gold Corridor” (Figure 1). A key feature of major gold deposits along the Stawell Gold Corridor is that they are hosted in meta-sediments on the margins of Cambrian basalt domes. The 4Moz Magdala gold deposit at Stawell is the best example of this style of mineralisation.

Navarre has identified seven basalt dome structures within the Company’s 60km long tenement package to date. The regional potential of the Stawell Gold Corridor is considered significant by the Company as demonstrated by Navarre’s discoveries at the Irvine and Langi Logan prospects where gold is proximal to large basalt dome structures.

The Company commenced a 16,000m drilling campaign in mid-October 2019 comprising:

  • 6,000m of diamond drilling targeting depth extensions to shallow gold mineralisation at Resolution and Adventure lodes on the Irvine basalt dome (Figures 3 & 4); and

  • 10,000m of air-core (AC) drilling to test multiple targets on the margins of the Langi Logan basalt dome and to expand the strike length of the gold mineralisation north of Resolution Lode.

Irvine Basalt Dome

The Irvine basalt dome is Navarre’s most advanced prospect. Previous drilling has confirmed extensive shallow gold footprints at the Resolution and Adventure lodes with a combined strike length of 2.9km along the eastern contact of the Irvine basalt dome (Figure 2). Navarre is now testing the depth extents of the gold shoots at both lodes down to approximately 300m below surface through a 6,000m diamond drilling program.

Two diamond drill rigs have been operating since mid-October 2019: one at Adventure Lode and, the other, at Resolution Lode. During this time, a 1,000m air-core (AC) drilling program to expand the known mineralised strike of the Resolution Lode has also been completed.

Adventure Lode

Results for three of five diamond holes completed at Adventure Lode have been received.

Significant intersections include (See Table 2 and Figure 3):

  • 4.75m @ 3.5g/t Au from 206.9m downhole, including 1.15m @ 9.8g/t Au in AD001

  • 4.6m @ 3.5 g/t Au from 327.3m downhole in AD002

All five diamond holes targeted the interpreted down plunge positions of four identified gold shoots (Figure 3).

The results to date indicate:

  1. the mineralised quartz–sulphide structures intersected previously in shallow drilling extend to depth where tested and occur in geometrical patterns similar to the gold shoots of the on-strike 4Moz Magdala Gold Mine;

  2. drill hole, AD002 provides evidence of a new gold shoot (Shoot 4) located at depth below Shoot 2; and

  3. initial geological interpretation indicates the location of the gold shoots may be controlled, in part, by a subtle flattening of dip in the orientation of the eastern flank of the Irvine basalt dome. Where this contact steepens (eg., AD003), the structure tends to weaken.

Results for drill holes AD004 and AD005, testing the down-plunge continuation of Shoot 3, are yet to be received. Both holes appear to have intersected the eastern flank of the Irvine basalt dome where the basalt contact is steep and the mineralised structure is not as strongly developed as seen in AD001 and AD002.

Resolution Lode

Results received for a 24 hole – 1,033 metre shallow AC drilling program testing the northern end of Resolution Lode has provided evidence of a potential new gold shoot (North Shoot on Figure 4).

A best result of 9m @ 2.1 g/t Au from 6m was returned (See Table 1 and Figure 4). Several other holes intersected broad intervals of lower-grade gold-bearing quartz stockwork mineralisation associated with several interbedded basalt flows. This new mineralised position will be tested with deeper diamond drilling during the first quarter of 2020.

Diamond drilling at Resolution Lode commenced at the South Shoot where visible gold was previously intersected in drill holes RD006 and RD013 (See Figure 4). Unlike Adventure Lode, drill progress has been slower than anticipated due to the presence of a broad shear zone on the hangingwall side of the lode structure.

One diamond hole, RD15, has been completed and has intersected a zone of quartz-sulphide mineralisation containing a few specks of visible gold. This hole has been geologically logged and submitted for assay. Drill hole RD016 is currently in progress (Figure 4).

This first round of deeper expansion drilling at Adventure and Resolution lodes is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2020, with results to be reported over the coming months as they become available.

Langi Logan Basalt Dome

The Langi Logan basalt dome is the next major prospect for Magdala style mineralisation south of the Irvine basalt dome within the Stawell Corridor Gold Project (Figures 1 & 5). It consists of the Langi Logan North, Langi Logan Central and the Langi Logan South Cambrian basalt domes with a combined 12km strike length and occurs in an area of significant historical Deep Lead production (133,000oz of gold recorded). The project area is covered by post-mineralisation Tertiary Basalt ranging from 2m to 30m in thickness.

A 10,000m AC drilling program commenced in November 2019 to test targets A-H (Figure 5). The objectives of the program include:

  • follow up significant results at Langi Logan North which include peak eastern contact intercepts of 33m @ 2.9 g/t Au including 11m @ 5.1 g/t Au and 2m @ 19.4 g/t Au including 1m @ 33.6 g/t Au[1] . Drilling at Langi Logan North will expand to test interpreted ‘waterloos’ (sediment between basalt lobes) and the western basalt contact;

  • follow up of anomalous barium, gold, silver (up to 23.8 g/t) and copper (up to 1.1%)[1] results to further investigate the possibility of volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) to the south of Langi Logan North; and

  • testing of the margins of the central and southern areas of the Langi Logan basalt dome with wide (800m) spaced drill traverses. This drilling will re-commence in January 2020.

Assay results for 42 AC holes in 3,283m of drilling have been received to date.

Significant gold intersections include (see Table 1 and Figure 5):

  • 1m @ 21.2 g/t Au from 32m downhole (IAC120) – Target A

  • 2m @ 0.9 g/t Au from 40m downhole (IAC121) - Target A

  • 4m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 21m downhole (IAC119) – Alluvial Gravels near Target D

A highlight intersection of 1m @ 21.2 g/t Au on the basalt contact on Target A confirms shallow high-grade gold mineralisation over a strike length of 650m. Target A previously reported intercepts include (see NML ASX release of 30 January 2019 & 12 February 2019[1] ):

  • 11m @ 5.1 g/t Au from within a broader interval of 33m @ 2.9 g/t Au in LLA014

  • 2m @ 19.4 g/t Au , including 1m @ 33.6g/t Au in LLA031

The Company intends to follow-up Target A with diamond drill testing in early 2020.

The latest results also include an anomalous broad 23m interval of gold, silver, and copper on the western flank (Target D) of the Langi Logan North basalt dome in AC drill hole IAC110. This intersection includes:

  • 23m @ 9.5 g/t Ag from 31m downhole, including 3m @ 52 g/t Ag from 32m

  • 6m @ 0.15% Cu from 46m

  • 1m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 32m

Target D is hosted in black shales and is associated with a strong, previously untested chargeability feature of approximately 500m in strike length. The AC hole ended in mineralisation and remains open at depth and along strike. Further shallow AC drilling is warranted to follow-up this intersection.

The Langi Logan prospect is at an early stage of exploration and is already showing good potential to be a new gold system similar to the Magdala gold deposit at Stawell.

With five drill rigs active across Navarre’s Victorian gold and base metals properties as part of a 50,000m drilling campaign, the Company expects to deliver strong news flow in 2020.

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 projects in Victoria, Australia (Figure 6).

Navarre is searching for gold deposits in an extension of a corridor of rocks that host the Stawell (~five million ounce) and Ararat (~one million ounce) goldfields ( The Stawell Corridor Gold Project ). The discovery of outcropping gold on the margins of the Irvine basalt dome and high-grade gold in shallow drilling at Langi Logan are a prime focus for the Company. These projects are located 20km and 40km respectively south of the operating 4Moz Stawell Gold Mine.

The high-grade Tandarra Gold Project is located 50km northwest of Kirkland Lake Gold’s world-class Fosterville Gold Mine, and 40km north of the 22 million-ounce Bendigo Goldfield. Exploration at Tandarra, in Joint Venture with Catalyst Metals Limited (NML 49%), is targeting the next generation of gold deposits under shallow cover in the region.

The Company is searching for a high-grade gold at its St Arnaud Gold Project. Recent reconnaissance drilling has identified gold mineralisation under shallow cover, up to 5km north from the nearest historical mine workings, which the Company believes may be an extension of the 0.4Moz St Arnaud Goldfield.

The Company is also targeting large volcanic massive sulphide, epithermal and porphyry copper-gold deposits in the Stavely Arc volcanics within its Western Victoria Copper Project . The Project area captures multiple polymetallic targets in three project areas including Glenlyle, Eclipse and Lexington . All properties are currently 100% owned. EL5425 is subject to a JV agreement where Stavely Minerals Limited may earn an 80% interest by spending $0.45M over 5 years.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not
be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases, more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Air Core Drilling

All air-core (AC) drill holes have been routinely sampled at
1m intervals downhole directly from a rig mounted
cyclone. Each metre is collected and placed on a plastic
sheet on the ground and preserved for assay sub-sampling
analysis as required.

Samples for assaying were generated from the 1m
preserved samples and were prepared at the drill site by a
grab sampling method based on logged geology and
mineralisation intervals. Samples were taken at 1m
intervals or as composites ranging from 2-5m intervals
ensuring a sample weight of between 2 to 3 kg per sub-
sample.

The sample size is deemed appropriate for the expected
grain size of the material being sampled.

Certified reference material and sample duplicates were
inserted at regular intervals with laboratory sample
submissions.
Diamond Core Drilling

The diamond drill core samples were selected on
geological intervals varying from 0.2m to 1.6m in length.

All drill core was routinely cut in half (usually on the right
of the marked orientation line) with a diamond saw and
submitted for analysis.

Sample representivity was ensured by a combination of
Company Procedures regarding quality control (QC) and
quality assurance/ Testing (QA). Certified standards and
blanks were routinely inserted into assay batches.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
Air Core Drilling

AC drilling was carried out using a Wallis Mantis 80 Air-
core rig mounted on a Landcruiser base. The AC rig used a
3.5” blade bit to refusal, generally just below the fresh
rock interface.
Diamond Core Drilling

Pre-collars were drilled to solid bedrock using a HWT
(114.3mm) drill bit followed by diamond coring with a
diameter of 63.5mm (HQ).

Diamond drilling of HQ3 (triple-tube) was undertaken to
ensure maximum core recovery.

All drill core was orientated with a Reflex ACT III core
orientation tool then continuously marked with a line
while on an angle iron cradle.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
Air Core Drilling

AC drill recoveries were visually estimated as a semi-
quantitative range and recorded in the log.

Recoveries were generally high (>90%), with reduced
recovery in the initial near-surface sample.

Samples were generally dry, but many became wet at the
point of refusal in hard ground below the water table.

No sampling issue, recovery issue or bias was picked up
and is considered that both sample recovery and quality is
adequate for the drilling technique employed.

Diamond Core Drilling

All diamond core was logged capturing any core loss, if
present, and recorded in the database.

All drill depths are checked against the depth provided on
the core blocks and rod counts are routinely carried out by
the driller.
Core recovery for the areas sampled was good.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level
of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.

Geological logging of samples followed Company and
industry common practice. Qualitative logging of samples
included (but was not limited to); lithology, mineralogy,
alteration, veining and weathering.

All logging is quantitative, based on visual field estimates.

For AC drilling, a small representative sample was retained
in a plastic chip tray for future reference and logging
checks. Detailed chip logging, with digital capture, was
conducted for 100% of chips logged by Navarre’s
geological team.

Detailed diamond core logging, with digital capture, was
conducted for 100% of the core by Navarre’s geological
team.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected,
including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.

Company procedures were followed to ensure sub-
sampling adequacy and consistency. These included (but
were not limited to), daily workplace inspections of
sampling equipment and practices.

Blanks and certified reference materials are submitted
with the samples to the laboratory as part of the quality
control procedures.
Air Core Drilling

AC composite, 1m individual and EOH samples were
collected as grab samples. Where composite samples
return anomalous gold results >~0.5g/t Au re-sampling at
1m intervals may occur at a later date from time to time.

Samples were recorded as dry, damp or wet.

Drill sample preparation and base metal and precious
metal analysis is undertaken by a registered laboratory
(ALS Adelaide, SA). Sample preparation by dry
pulverisation to 85% passing 75 microns.

The sample sizes are considered appropriate to correctly
give an accurate indication of mineralisation given the
qualitative nature of the technique and the style of gold
mineralisation sought.
Diamond Core Drilling

Detailed diamond core logging, with digital capture, was
conducted for 100% of the core by Navarre’s geological
team.

Half core was sampled from NQ and HQ diameter drill
core.

Company procedures were followed to ensure sub-
sampling adequacy and consistency. These included (but
were not limited to), daily workplace inspections of
sampling equipment and practices.

Blanks and certified reference materials are submitted
with the samples to the laboratory as part of the quality
control procedures.

No second-half sampling has been conducted at this stage.

The sample sizes are appropriate to correctly represent
the sought after mineralisation.

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels
of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have
been established.

Analysis for gold is undertaken at ALS Perth, WA by 50g
Fire Assay with an AAS finish to a lower detection limit of
0.01ppm Au using ALS technique Au-AA26.

Bulk-leach analysis for gold is also undertaken by ALS
Perth, WA on selected samples with >0.2ppm Au from Au-
AA26 method. The bulk leach method utilises a ~2kg
sample using ALS technique Au-AA15. Navarre selectively
does this to check for the effects of nuggety gold
particularly in know regions containing this effect.

ALS also conducted a 35 element Aqua Regia ICP-AES
(method: ME-ICP41) analysis on each sample to assist
interpretation of pathfinder elements.

No field non-assay analysis instruments were used in the
analyses reported.

A review of certified reference material and sample blanks
inserted by the Company indicate no significant analytical
bias or preparation errors in the reported analyses

Internal laboratory QAQC checks are reported by the
laboratory and a review of the QAQC reports suggests the
laboratory is performing within acceptable limits.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Samples are verified by database consultants (Geobase)
and Navarre geologists before importing into the drill hole
database.

No twin holes have been drilled by Navarre during this
program.

Primary data was collected for drill holes using a Geobase
logging template on a Panasonic Toughbook laptop using
lookup codes. The information was sent to a database
consultant for validation and compilation into a SQL
database.

Reported drill results were compiled by the Company’s
geologists and verified by the Exploration Manager and
Managing Director.

No adjustments to assay data were made.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations used
in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

All maps and locations are in UTM Grid (GDA94 zone 54).

All drill collars are initially measured by hand-held GPS
with an accuracy of+3metres. On completion of program,
a contract surveyor picks-up collar positions utilising a
differential GPS system to an accuracy of+0.02m.

A topographic control is achieved via use of DTM
developed from a 2005 ground gravity survey measuring
relative height using radar techniques.
Air Core Drilling

Down-hole surveys have not been undertaken
Diamond Core Drilling

Down-hole surveys were taken every 30m on the way
down to verify correct orientation and dip then multi-
shots taken every 6m on the way out of the drill hole.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Variable drill hole spacings are used to test targets and are
determined from geochemical, geophysical and geological
data together with historic mining information.

Drilling reported in this program is of an early exploration
nature and has not been used to estimate any mineral
resource or ore reserves.

Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.

Exploration is at an early stage and, as such, knowledge on
exact location of mineralisation, in relation to lithological
and structural boundaries, is not accurately known.

The drill orientation is attempting to drill perpendicular to
the geology and mineralised trends previously identified
from earlier drilling. Due to the early stage of exploration
it is unknown if the drill orientation has introduced any
sampling bias. This will become more apparent as further
drilling is completed.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Chain of custody is managed by internal staff. Drill samples
are stored on site and transported by a licenced reputable
transport company to a registered laboratory in Orange,
NSW (ALS Laboratories). At the laboratory samples are
stored in a locked yard before being processed and
tracked through preparation and analysis.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

There has been no external audit or review of the
Company’s sampling techniques or data at this stage.

Irvine Gold Project

Centaur Mining & Exploration held licence EL 1224 in the
1980s and conducted surface mapping, and shallow RAB
drilling along road verges in proximity to the Irvine
prospect. The main focus of their exploration activities
became the Mt Ararat base-metal sulphide deposit further
to the SW.

CRA Exploration held licences EL 2651 & EL 3429 (which
were amalgamated into EL 3450) in the early 1990s. It was
recognised that basalt lavas and associated meta-
sediments at the northern end of the field held gold
potential of the Stawell-style (which itself was relatively
poorly understood at that time). CRA drilled 12 RC holes
(average 48m depth) and 2 diamond holes in the Irvine
area. This work was initially focused along two north-
trending outcrops of ironstone to the west of the Irvine
Basalt, now referred to as the Great Western Trend (or
Stawell Fault). Significant gold grades of 4m @ 0.88 g/t
Au (RC92AA021 from 32m) and 2m @ 2.84 g/t Au
(RC92AA027 from 24m) were recorded. Mapping and rock
chip sampling across the entire Ararat Goldfield was also
undertaken at this time with several >1 g/t Au results
obtained.

holes on the western flank of the Irvine Basalt generated a
0.5m @ 7.2 g/t Au intersection from 86.5m in a “classic
Magdala footwall sequence” of high arsenopyrite and
pyrrhotite from meta-sediments in DD92AA254. This was
the only hole to pass through the Irvine basalt contact.

From 1995 to 1996, under Joint Venture with CRAE,
Stawell Gold Mines undertook exploration which included
4 lines of shallow vertical air-core drilling across the trend
of the Irvine Basalt. Owing to weather and drill
penetration difficulties, no basalt contacts were
intersected in any SGM holes and no significant gold
results were obtained. The air-core program helped
deduce the broad outline of the western basalt contact. A
few selected trays from CRAE’s regional drill program are
held by the Geological Survey of Victoria in their core farm
facility in Werribee.
Langi Logan Gold Project

There have been several phases of previous exploration
near the Langi Logan gold project, including several gold
drill intercepts which are referred to in this release.
Although Navarre has reviewed and assessed all previous
exploration results referred to in this release, it has
limited knowledge on how the data was collected,
sampled and assayed, and as a consequence has had to
make assumptions based on the available historical data.

Newcrest Operations Limited explored the licence area
under option from Range River Gold NL from 2004 to
2008 and undertook a gravity survey and a small drill
program. Drilling at the Langi Logan basalt dome
produced a best result of 2m @ 9.2 g/t Au from 228m
associated with arsenopyrite in a shear zone cutting
sulphidic meta-sedimentary rocks in RCDAR179.

BCD Metals Pty Ltd optioned the project area from Range
River Gold NL in 2009 and full control was granted to BCD
Metals when Range River went into voluntary
administration in April 2011. Further drilling of the Langi
Logan prospect confirmed anomalous gold values
reported by Newcrest but no significant intersections
were obtained.

Stavely Minerals Limited acquired the Victorian assets of
BCD Metals in 2013 and completed a small induced
polarisation survey on the NW flank of the basalt dome
that was followed up with a single diamond hole. No
significant intersections were obtained.

Navarre has reviewed and assessed all previous
exploration results available in the public domain.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The project areas are considered prospective for the
discovery of gold deposits of similar character to those in
the nearby Stawell Gold Mine, particularly the 4Moz
Magdala gold deposit. The Stawell Goldfield has produced
approximately 5 million ounces of gold from hard rock and
alluvial sources. More than 2.3 million ounces of gold
have been produced since 1980 across more than 3
decades of continuous operation.

Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

All reported assays have been average weighted according
to sample interval.

No top cuts have been applied.

An average nominal 0.2g/t Au or greater lower cut-off is
reported as being potentially significant in the context of
this drill program.

No metal equivalent reporting is used or applied.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).
Air Core Drilling

The exact geometry and extent of any primary
mineralisation is not known at present due to the early
stage of exploration.

Mineralisation results are reported as “downhole”
intervals as true widths are not yet known.
Diamond Core Drilling

Estimated true widths are based on orientated drill core
axis measurements and are interpreted to represent
between 60% to 90% of total downhole widths.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.

Refer to diagrams in body of text
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.

All drill hole results received and pending have been
reported in this announcement.

No holes are omitted for which complete results have
been received.
Other

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
