HIGHEST GRADE SILVER & GOLD DRILL HITS RECEIVED FROM THE GLENLYLE PROJECT, WESTERN VICTORIA

HIGHLIGHTS

  • New results from a 19 hole, 1,690m expansion air-core drilling program at the Glenlyle Project deliver the highest-grade gold and silver results received to date at the project:

  • Silver up to 390 g/t and gold up to 4.0 g/t returned from quartz and massive sulphide veining

  • Drilling also expands the width of a broad silver zone, containing discrete gold and base metalbearing quartz and massive sulphide veins, to approximately 150m which remains open down-dip and towards the north and east

  • Results provide further evidence that Navarre is vectoring in on a significant mineralised system at the Glenlyle Project

  • Highlight results include:

  • 23m @ 30.3 g/t silver from 76m to end of hole (GAC054)

    • including 2m @ 245.0 g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold, and 0.1% zinc from 87m
  • 47m @ 11.8 g/t silver from 58m to end of hole (GAC055)

    • including 1m @ 390.0 g/t silver, 1.0 g/t gold, 0.3% lead & 0.7% zinc from 78m
  • 1m @ 4.0 g/t gold from 58m and 1m @ 155.0 g/t silver from 82m (GAC042)

  • 51m @ 7.3 g/t silver from 45m to end of hole (GAC057)

    • including 1m @ 248 g/t silver, 0.5g/t gold, 0.2% zinc from 89m
  • The epithermal-style mineralisation is located within the Dryden-Stavely Volcanic Belt, the same trend that hosts Stavely Minerals Thursday’s Gossan deposit 25kms to the south

  • The shallow gold and silver mineralisation identified at Glenlyle is interpreted to be positioned above a deeper porphyry copper – gold target

Navarre Minerals Limited ( Navarre or the Company; ASX: NML ) is pleased to announce results from its second phase of air-core (AC) drilling at its 100%-owned Glenlyle Project (EL 5497) in western Victoria, Australia (Figure 1).

The Glenlyle Project is located approximately 25 kilometres north of Stavely Minerals Limited’s (ASX: SVY) Thursday’s Gossan porphyry copper - gold project in the Stavely Arc Volcanic Complex (see Figure 2), where Stavely Minerals have recently intersected bornite mineralisation, considered a strong vector for large porphyry systems.

Results of the AC drilling program

Navarre completed its second phase of AC drilling totalling 1,690 metres across 19 holes at the Glenlyle Project targeting extensions to epithermal-style gold and silver mineralisation intersected in Navarre’s maiden 2018 drilling program. This included follow-up of the previous best intersection of 46m @ 8.1 g/t silver, including 1m @ 252.0 g/t silver, 3.1 g/t gold, 0.3% lead and 0.3% zinc at the bottom of hole in drill hole GAC030 (see NML ASX release of 23 April 2018) (Figures 3 & 4).

The best drill intersection returned from Navarre’s second phase of drilling is 23m @ 30.3 g/t silver , including 2m @ 245.0 g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold, and 0.1% zinc intersected in hole GAC054 (Figure 4). On the same drill section, GAC055 intersected 47m @ 11.8 g/t silver, including 1m @ 390.0 g/t silver (highest silver grade recorded to date), 1.0 g/t gold, 0.3% lead, and 0.7% zinc (Figure 4). Also, on the same section, hole GAC042 recorded the highest gold result to date for the project with an assay of 1m @ 4.0 g/t gold from within a broader zone of silver mineralisation assaying 31m @ 6.1 g/t silver from 54m to the end of hole (Figure 4; Table 1). All three drill holes ended in mineralisation and occur within a broader (approximately 150m wide) envelope of anomalous silver mineralisation, assaying between 1 g/t and 12 g/t Ag, which remains open to the east, at depth and to the north. This broad silver zone is associated with pervasive sericite – pyrite alteration and coincides with a significant induced polarisation (IP) chargeability high and a gravity low (Figure 3).

A step-out drill traverse located 40m to the north of GAC030, intersected 51m @ 7.3 g/t silver including 1m @ 248.0 g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold and 0.2% zinc in hole GAC057 (Figure 6). This hole also ended in mineralisation. Other intercepts of significance on this drill section include GAC058 which returned 6m @ 0.2 g/t gold and 452ppm arsenic in the basement rocks immediately beneath the Tertiary basalt cover and above the base of oxidation. This is considered unusual as this zone is typically depleted in metal. The gold intercept remains open to the west and down-dip.

The mineralisation encountered in drilling occurs as discrete quartz and sulphide veinlets within a pervasive sericitepyrite altered andesite (Figures 3 & 4). The orientation of the mineralised structures is poorly understood at this stage and will require further drilling to understand the geometry of the mineralised system. A follow-up drill program is now being planned.

Other significant intercepts include (see Tables 1 & 2):

  • 48m @ 2.9 g/t silver from 51m to end of hole (GAC046), including 4m @ 0.3% zinc from 61m and 6m @ 0.4 g/t gold from 80m which remains open to east;

  • 1m @ 1.7 g/t gold, 6.7 g/t silver from 83m (GAC047); and

  • 27m @ 1.4 g/t silver, 0.1 g/t gold from 49m (GAC056), including 1m @ 0.2% copper from 50m, 1m @ 0.7 g/t gold from 63m and 3m @ 0.1% Zn from 51m .

A single regional drill traverse, comprising six widely spaced AC drill holes, targeted a shallow IP chargeability anomaly interpreted as a potential extension of the epithermal silver-gold zone located 1km further north. Drill hole GAC050 intersected silica -sericite altered andesites with anomalous silver, gold and zinc. Further infill drilling may be required across this zone to identify further potential mineralised veins.

Navarre’s Managing Director, Geoff McDermott commented:

“We continue to be impressed with the results we are generating at the Glenlyle Project. Each round of drilling has generated bigger and better results as we vector in on this epithermal system, which we believe is sitting above a potentially much larger porphyry target.

We are now planning our next drill program with a view to better understanding the extent and orientation of the mineralised system”.

Background - Glenlyle Project (EL 5497)

Navarre’s Glenlyle Project is located about 25 kilometres north of Stavely Minerals Limited’s Thursday’s Gossan porphyry copper-gold project for which Stavely Minerals has recently reported a significant breakthrough in its exploration with the intersection of significant visible bornite mineralisation, considered a strong pathfinder for the discovery of a large porphyry system.

Navarre’s Glenlyle Project is situated in the same package of Cambrian volcanic rocks (the Stavely Arc’s Dryden - Stavely Volcanic Belt) that hosts Stavely Minerals’ Thursdays Gossan porphyry copper-gold project.

Navarre’s 2018 maiden drilling program intersected a thick pile of andesitic volcanics below a (5 - 35m thick) veneer of Tertiary basalt cover (Figure 4). At the top of the basement rocks, a 15-20m thick metal depletion zone typically occurs. Below the depletion zone, areas of strong sericite-pyrite alteration have been intersected and this alteration correlates with an elongate induced polarisation chargeability anomaly which extends in a north-south direction for up to one kilometre (Figure 5). This zone is also coincident with a gravity low, interpreted to represent either a buried porphyry intrusive (potential source of mineralised fluids) or a broad alteration zone related to epithermal-style mineralisation.

Historical exploration completed by previous explorers at the Glenlyle Project area focused on the area of a 5-6 kilometre diameter circular magnetic feature, which stands out as unusual compared to the more linear magnetic trend of the Dryden - Stavely Volcanic Belt (Figure 2).

Drilling indicates that the complex circular magnetic feature is mainly composed of Andesitic rocks containing varying degrees of alteration intensity. The andesitic volcanic rocks are concealed beneath 5-35m of recent Tertiary basalt cover. This cover has made surface sampling and exploration difficult in the past, potentially concealing significant zones of near surface mineralisation that remain to be detected.

Previous work indicates a high level of preservation of the original Stavely Arc sequence with probable sub-volcanic intrusions, which is a positive indicator for the prospectivity for porphyry and epithermal style mineralisation. The extent of precious and base metals as well as the alteration logged in drill holes is encouraging for the presence of significant mineralisation.

AC drilling is the initial stage of the Company’s discovery strategy used to rapidly and cost effectively identify the shallow footprint of basement gold and silver mineralisation from which deeper targeted drilling programs can be deployed with the aim of defining the extents of economic mineralisation.

Reporting of Historic Glenlyle Exploration Results

Although Navarre was not involved in previous exploration at the Glenlyle Project, it has elected to update the information about drill hole GRC05, shown in Figure 4, to comply with the JORC 2012 Code to demonstrate the existence of a significant anomalous silver zone that has been subsequently confirmed by Navarre’s drilling. The results of GRC05 were first reported by P.S. Forwood, J.A. Forwood and Chivelle Pty Ltd in an annual technical report to the Victorian Government titled “EL 4621, Glenlyle Project, Victoria, Fifth Annual Technical Report for the period 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007.” The report is now open file and accessible to the public. Navarre has limited knowledge on how the data was collected and has had to make assumptions based on historical data generated by the previous explorer.

Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of securities laws of applicable jurisdictions. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “objectives”, “outlook”, “guidance” or other similar words, and include statements regarding certain plans, strategies and objectives of management and expected financial performance. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of Navarre and any of its officers, employees, agents or associates. Actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those statements are based. Exploration potential is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and Navarre assumes no obligation to update such information.

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.

Navarre is searching for gold deposits in the extension of a corridor of rocks that host the Stawell (~five million ounce) and Ararat (~one million ounce) goldfields. The discovery of outcropping gold at the Irvine Gold Project and high-grade gold in shallow drilling at Langi Logan are a prime focus for the Company. These projects are located 15km and 40km respectively south of the Stawell Gold Mine, which Arete Capital Partners has recently reopened.

The high-grade Tandarra Gold Project is located in close proximity to 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 partnership with Catalyst Metals Limited (NML 49%), is targeting the next generation of gold deposits under shallow cover in the region.

At the Glenlyle Gold – Silver Project the Company has identified an epithermal gold-silver system above a potential porphyry copper-gold target that occurs in the same volcanic package that hosts the nearby Thursday’s Gossan deposit.

The Company is searching for a potential Fosterville-style high-grade gold mineralisation system at the St Arnaud Gold Project . Recent reconnaissance drilling has identified potential ore grade gold mineralisation under shallow cover which the Company believes may be an extension of the historic 0.4Moz St Arnaud Goldfield.

Appendix 1 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.

Sub-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. Sub-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.
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 Toyota Landcruiser base. The AC rig
used a 3.5” blade bit to refusal, generally just below the
fresh rock interface.
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.
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 follows Company and
industry common practice. Qualitative logging of samples
includes (but was not limited to); lithology, mineralogy,
alteration, veining and weathering.

All logging is quantitative, based on visual field estimates.

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.
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

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

Blanks and certified reference materials are submitted

control procedures.
Air Core Drilling
• AC composite, 1m individual and EOH samples were
collected as grab samples.
• 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 Perth,
WA). Sample preparation by dry pulverisation to 85%
passing 75 microns is undertaken by ALS Adelaide, SA.
• 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.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests

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.

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 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.

At the Irvine gold project, 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
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation

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

nature and has not been used to estimate any mineral
resource or ore reserves.

Refer to sampling techniques, above for sample
compositing
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 AC 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 Perth, WA
(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.

tenement and
land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The Glenlyle Project is located within Navarre’s 100%
owned “Glenlyle” exploration licence EL 5497 which was
granted on 9 September 2014 for an initial period of 5
years.

The tenement is current and in good standing.

The project occurs on freehold land.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

Past exploration has identified the Glenlyle target as a
potential intrusive complex similar to Thursdays Gossan.
Most recent work was completed from 2002-2008 where
a range of geophysical techniques (Ground magnetics, IP
and trial EM) identified several targets for testing by five
RC drill holes.

Recent structural interpretation by the Geological Survey
of Victoria indicates the Dryden and Stavely volcanic belts
as being one of the same.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The project area is considered prospective for
Epithermal/Porphyry style mineralisation akin to
Thursdays Gossan within the Dryden - Stavely Volcanic
Belt.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole

Reported results are summarised in Figures 3 & 4 and
Tables 1 & 2 within the main body of the announcement.

Drill collar elevation is defined as height above sea level in
metres (RL)

Drill holes were drilled at an angle deemed appropriate to
the local structure and is tabulated in Table 2.

Hole length of each drill hole is the distance from the
surface to the end of hole, as measured along the drill
trace.

o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the case.
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 and 1g/t Ag 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 “down hole”
intervals as true widths are not yet known.
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 have been reported in this
announcement.

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

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

All relevant exploration data is shown in diagrams and
discussed in text.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work
(e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.

Areas of positive AC drill results are expected to be
followed up with infill and expansion AC drilling program.
