HIGH-GRADE GOLD RESULTS CONTINUE AT RESOLUTION LODE WITH SECOND GOLD STRUCTURE CONFIRMED

DIAMOND DRILLING ON TRACK TO DELIVER MAIDEN MINERAL RESOURCE BY END Q1 2021

• Resolution Lode continues to deliver strong, consistent grades of gold mineralisation in an ongoing 10,000m diamond core drilling program, targeting a large maiden mineral resource.

• Strong new results (not true widths) include:

• 5.0m @ 10.0 g/t Au from 273.9m in RD027

• 9.4m @ 5.3 g/t Au from 355.6m, including 3.4m @ 9.2 g/t Au in RD028

• 10.8m @ 4.5 g/t Au from 483.6m, including 4.2m @ 7.5 g/t Au in RD028

• 0.9m @ 9.4 g/t Au with visible gold from 251.4m and 1.5m @ 4.6 g/t Au in RD026

• Results extend the known limits of the gold lode system by another 200m south-down-plunge and demonstrate the strong potential to define a substantial mineral resource.

• The new results confirm a second mineralised structure 50m west of the main gold zone and suggest the lode channel may be strengthening towards the south .

• The style and geometry of gold mineralisation is similar to the multi-million ounce Magdala gold deposit , on-strike 20km further north, where gold has been mined from surface to 1.6km depth.

• Navarre is fully funded to continue its resource definition drilling at Resolution Lode with a current working capital balance of approximately $12 million .

Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML) (Navarre or the Company) is pleased to report further significant gold assay results from an ongoing 10,000m diamond drilling program on its fully owned Resolution Lode prospect, located 20km south of Stawell’s 4Moz Magdala Gold Mine in Victoria (Figures 1 & 2).

The latest high-grade drilling results extend the known strike length of gold mineralisation at Resolution Lode and materially enhance the depth potential of the South Shoot. The results continue to demonstrate strong, consistent grades of gold mineralisation within a quartz-rich shear structure that continues from surface and extends beyond 350m depth, remaining open down-plunge.

This release captures results from the latest three diamond holes completed at Resolution Lode and follows the earlier release of twelve diamond holes reported to the ASX on 27 April 2020 and 8 July 2020.

Navarre’s Managing Director, Ian Holland, said:

“Resolution Lode continues to deliver consistently strong intersections of high-grade gold mineralisation from within a well-defined lode channel. We are becoming more confident that the geometry and style of gold mineralisation encountered to date has the potential to grow into a large deposit similar to Magdala.”

“Resource definition drilling continues to evaluate the size, continuity and tenor of gold mineralisation at Resolution Lode as Navarre looks to deliver Victoria’s next major gold deposit. We look forward to sharing the next round of results as we continue our drilling strategy.”

NEW DIAMOND DRILLING RESULTS – RESOLUTION LODE

Navarre is executing a 10,000m diamond drilling program (~60% complete) to scope the depth and strike potential of the Resolution Lode discovery with the aim of delivering a maiden mineral resource in early 2021.

To date 15 holes have been completed for approximately 6,000m of diamond core drilling at Resolution Lode (Figures 2 – 5). The drill program is testing the continuity and extent of previously intersected shallow gold mineralisation by:

1. drilling beneath areas of our best air-core drill results to establish geometry, tenor and plunge direction of the gold mineralisation; and then

2. scoping the dimensions of the mineralisation using a nominal 80m (N-S) by 80m (vertical) step-out drill pattern guided by a geophysical (GAIP and IP chargeability) anomaly (refer Figure 5).

Diamond holes have been drilled at angles designed to cut across the interpreted sub-vertical orientation of the mineralised structures from either the western (hangingwall) or eastern (footwall) side of the projected gold zones, depending on surface access availability.

• 4.6m @ 6.2 g/t Au and 1.8m @ 6.4 g/t Au from within a broader zone of quartz stockwork veining of 10.8m @ 3.8 g/t Au[2] from 244.1m in drill hole RD013

• 3.8m @ 3.3 g/t Au from 107.1m in drill hole RD011

• 7.7m @ 5.6 g/t Au from 141.8m and 3.9m @ 4.4 g/t Au from 154.8m within a broader zone of 18.7m @ 3.4 g/t Au in drill hole RD025 (hole ends in mineralisation)

• 2.5m @ 6.1 g/t Au[2] from 373.2m and 2.4m @ 6.0 g/t Au from 428.5m in drill hole RD016

• 2.6m @ 5.5 g/t Au[2] from 301.9m in drill hole RD015

• 2.4m @ 4.4 g/t Au from 293.7m in drill hole RD018

• 3.1m @ 3.1 g/t Au from 204.3m in drill hole RD019

• 2.9m @ 6.2 g/t Au from 187.3m within a broader zone of 9.4m @ 2.6 g/t Au in RD023

• 2.0m @ 9.9 g/t Au from 235.8m within a broader zone of 11.9m @ 1.8 g/t Au in RD024

• 1.0m @ 20.8 g/t Au from 358.6m within a broader zone of 10.3m @ 2.2 g/t Au in RD024

*Note: all drill intercepts are reported as down-hole intervals.

The new gold results are interpreted to occur in two steeply west-dipping structures that cut across, at an acute angle, an interbedded package of meta-sediments and thin basalt flows within 100m of the main Irvine basalt dome (Figure 3).

The mineralisation is characterised by significant quartz veining (or quartz tension vein arrays), occurring with strong chlorite alteration containing minor amounts of sulphides (typically less than 3%), including arsenopyrite + pyrite + pyrrhotite and rare visible gold (see photo, Figure 6). Zones of anomalous gold are typically elevated in arsenic, an important pathfinder metal in most Victorian gold deposits.

The higher-grade gold mineralisation has been interpreted to occur within two lode channels or shoots (referred to as the North and South Shoots) that plunge gently towards the south and remain open down-plunge (see Figure 5). The South Shoot, with more drill information, has approximate dimensions of up to 350m in height, 600m down-plunge (open to the south) and between 1.5 – 6m in width. The North Shoot has been defined by shallow air-core drilling and has a lower tenor of grade when compared to the South Shoot. Deeper diamond core drilling is planned for the North Shoot later this year. The gold shoot geometry appears analogous to that of the Magdala gold deposit (Figure 7).

Interpretation of the results of the latest three diamond holes indicates:

South Shoot – drill holes RD026 to RD028 continue to highlight the significant, consistent and repeatable gold mineralisation developing down-plunge in the Main Lode of the South Shoot (Figures 3 – 5). A second, deeper intercept in RD028 of 10.4m @ 4.5 g/t Au , approximately 50m west of the main structure (Hangingwall Lode in Table 2), is highlighting the potential for multiple mineralised surfaces at Resolution Lode. This is the widest and most significant drill intercept outside of the Main Lode and will be the focus for further drill testing.

In summary, interpretation of the diamond results for the South Shoot of Resolution Lode indicates:

• gold mineralisation occurs in at least two sub-parallel, higher-grade structures referred to as the Main and Hangingwall lodes;

• the gold shoots plunge gently to the south;

• gold mineralisation extends from surface to beyond 350m depth and remains open;

• gold tenor is relatively uniform, typically ranging between 4 g/t and 10 g/t below the base of oxidation;

• the estimated true width of gold mineralisation generally ranges between 1.5m and 6m;

• the estimated down-plunge extent of high-grade gold mineralisation is approximately 600m and remains open;

• the sub-parallel Hangingwall Lode system has been confirmed approximately 50m west of the Main Lode; and

• the drilling results returned to date continue to demonstrate continuity, predictability and robustness of the mineralised system at Resolution Lode.

NEXT STEPS – RESOLUTION LODE

• Complete 10,000m resource definition diamond drilling program.

• Deploy second diamond drilling rig in early October to accelerate drilling program. Options being pursued to deploy a third drilling rig in the Stawell Gold Corridor, subject to rig availability.

• Commence preliminary metallurgical test work of key drill intercepts.

• Continue to update geological and structural models with additional drilling information.

• Undertake further geophysics to expand and refine an IP (& GAIP) chargeability anomaly located 300m south-on-strike of the known limits of the South Shoot in advance of further diamond drilling.

• Estimate a potential maiden Mineral Resource by end Q1 2021.

Approximately 4,000m of diamond drilling remains to be completed with results expected to be reported in batches of between 3 and 5 drill holes following receipt of assays and interpretation of geology.

Navarre is fully funded to continue its resource definition drilling at the Resolution Lode with a current cash balance of approximately $12 million.

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 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 has been testing the depth extents of the gold shoots at both lodes down to approximately 300m below surface through targeted diamond drilling programs.

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 (Figure 1). 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). Approximately 80% of the project area is covered by post-mineralisation Newer Volcanics ranging up to 30m in thickness.

About Navarre Minerals Limited:

Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML) is an Australian-based gold exploration company focused on discovering large, long-life and high-grade gold deposits in under-explored areas of Victoria’s premier gold districts.

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 (Navarre 49%), is targeting the next generation of gold deposits under shallow cover in the region.

The Company is searching for 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 volcanic massive sulphide, epithermal and porphyry copper-gold deposits in the Stavely Arc volcanics. The Project area captures multiple polymetallic targets in three project areas including Glenlyle, Eclipse and Stavely . All properties are currently 100% owned apart from Stavely (EL 5425) which is subject to a farm-in agreement where Stavely Minerals Limited may earn an 80% interest by spending $0.45M over 5 years.

At the Jubilee Gold Project, 25km southwest of LionGold’s Ballarat Gold Mine, the Company is undertaking a systematic exploration program targeting extensions and repetitions of historically mined transverse quartz reefs that bear similarity to the high-grade Swan – Eagle system at Fosterville.

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.	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).	Diamond Core Drilling • Pre-collars were drilled to solid bedrock using an HWT (114.3mm) drill bit followed by diamond coring with a diameter of 63.5mm (HQ) and 50.6mm (NQ2). • 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.	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 generally 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. • Detailed diamond core logging, with digital capture, was conducted for 100% of the core by Navarre’s geological team.

Mineral 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 Irvine Gold Project is located within Navarre’s 100% owned “Stawell Corridor Gold Project” comprising granted exploration licence ELs 5476, 5480, 6525, 6526, 6527, 6528, 6702 & 6745. • The tenements are current and in good standing. • The project area occurs on a combination of freehold and crown land. • Two Crown land blocks south of the Irvine basalt dome, subject to Native Title applications, are under separate exploration licence applications currently being considered by Department of Earth Resources Regulation, Victorian Government.
Exploration done by other parties	• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	Irvine Gold Project • Centaur Mining & Exploration held licence EL1224 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 EL2651 & EL3429 (which were amalgamated into EL3450) 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@2.84g/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. • A single diamond drill hole following up two shallow RC 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. • 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.
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 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.	• Reported results are summarised in Figures 3-5 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 stratigraphy and is tabulated in Tables 1 & 2. • Hole length of each drill hole is the distance from the surface to the end of hole, as measured along the drill trace.
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 usedfor any reporting of metal	• All reported assays have been average weighted according to sample interval. • No top cuts have been applied. • An average nominal 0.3g/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.

	equivalent values should be clearly stated.
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’).	Diamond Core Drilling • Estimated true widths are based on orientated drill core axis measurements and are interpreted to represent between 30% to 70% 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 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.	• Navarre will continue testing of the basalt flanks at the Irvine basalt dome using air-core and diamond drilling techniques. • Areas of positive drill results are expected to be followed up with infill and expansion diamond drilling.
