ASX Announcement (ASX:NML) N a v a r r e M i n e r a l s L i m i t e d ( N M L ) A S X A n n o u n c e m e n t P a g e | 1 14 April 2020

DRILLING EXPANDS GOLD-SILVER DISCOVERY AT GLENLYLE PROJECT, WESTERN VICTORIA

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Encouraging new assay results received for a 2,150m program of 26 holes of step-out reconnaissance air-core (AC) drilling recently completed at the Glenlyle Project – gold and silver discovery made by Navarre in 2018

  • The silver-gold zone has now been expanded to approximately 350m (E – W) by 300m (N – S) and remains open to the south and at depth

  • Strongly anomalous gold, silver, zinc and copper grades for this early stage of shallow drilling continue to be intersected beneath a thin veneer of younger, post-mineralisation Newer Volcanics cover

  • Results provide further evidence Navarre is potentially honing-in on a “blind” poly-metallic mineralised system within the Dryden-Stavely Volcanic Belt, the same volcanics that host Stavely Minerals’ Cayley Lode copper discovery at Thursdays Gossan deposit, 25km to the south-east

  • Gold grades of up to 3.6 g/t and silver up to 12.4 g/t were recorded in the latest round of drilling, with several holes finishing in mineralisation at AC refusal

  • Highlight intercepts include:

  • 5m @ 1.0 g/t gold from 58m, incl. 1m @ 3.6 g/t gold (GAC077)

  • 19m @ 2.8 g/t silver from 84m, incl . 3m @ 8.8 g/t silver (GAC075)

  • 46m @ 2.2 g/t silver from 54m to end of hole, incl. 1m @ 0.5 g/t gold & 0.5% zinc (GAC085)

  • 31m @ 1.0 g/t silver from 63m to end of hole (GAC073)

  • These new results complement previously announced[1] AC intercepts of:

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

    • including 2m @ 245 g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold & 0.1% zinc
  • 47m @ 11.8 g/t silver from 58m to end of hole (GAC055)

    • including 1m @ 390 g/t silver, 1.0 g/t gold, 0.3% lead & 0.7% zinc
  • A helicopter VTEM geophysical survey was completed over Glenlyle to potentially assist in detection of mineralised targets beneath the Newer Volcanics cover – data processing underway with results due shortly

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

The Glenlyle Project is located 25km south-west of Ararat, under 10 – 40m of Newer Volcanics cover, and approximately 25 kilometres north-east, on-strike, of Stavely Minerals Limited’s (ASX: SVY) recent Cayley Lode copper discovery at their Thursdays Gossan project (see Figures 1 & 2).

The new results have significantly expanded the mineralised footprint and the potential of the Glenlyle Project and follow two earlier phases of reconnaissance AC drilling (refer NML ASX releases of 23 April 2018 and 21 March 2019) which also demonstrated strong silver-gold mineralisation.

Navarre’s Managing Director, Geoff McDermott, said:

“The new air-core drilling results continue to provide evidence for a large poly-metallic mineral system at Glenlyle in the emerging Stavely Arc volcanics of western Victoria.

“The mineralised footprint at Glenlyle has now been expanded to approximately 350m by 300m and remains open to the south and at depth. Given the tenor of results being generated at this early stage of exploration, the proximity to a magnetic low and IP anomaly, a favourable geological setting and proximity to an existing large copper discovery, we believe there is potential to discover a large poly-metallic mineral system at depth at Glenlyle.

“We look forward to completing the targeting of potential mineralisation under cover and to plan our next phases of drilling.”

Results of the AC drilling program

Navarre has completed its third phase of AC drilling totalling 2,150 metres across 26 holes at the Glenlyle Project. The drilling program was designed to expand and scope the shallow lateral expanses of the gold and silver mineralisation discovered in 2018 (now referred to as the Morning Bill prospect ).

Three east-west lines of 80m spaced, angled AC drilling were completed on 200m (north-south) line spacings. The drilling comprised:

  • extension of the original discovery traverse, containing mineralisation including 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 in hole GAC030 (see NML ASX release of 23 April 2018) that remained open to the east; and

  • two step out drill traverses located north and south of the discovery line.

All AC holes were drilled at 60 degrees towards the east and to blade refusal, which typically occurs about 30m below the base of the weathered Dryden – Mt Stavely volcanic host rocks.

The drilling intersected similar discrete gold + zinc + copper mineralisation mainly within a broad envelope of anomalous silver (assaying between 1 and 12 g/t silver) as seen in the earlier phases of shallow AC drilling. The goldsilver zone is interpreted to have lateral extents of approximately 350m (east-west) by 300m (north-south), remaining open to the south and at depth (Figures 3 – 5). The mineralisation occurs as fine-grained disseminations and as discrete silica and sulphide veinlets within a pervasive sericite-pyrite altered andesite.

Highlight drill intercepts returned in this round of drilling include (See Tables 1 – 5 and Figures 3 – 4):

  • 5m @ 1.0 g/t gold from 58m, incl. 1m @ 3.6 g/t gold (GAC077)

  • 2m @ 1.7 g/t gold from 30m (GAC064)

  • 19m @ 2.8 g/t silver from 84m, incl. 3m @ 8.8 g/t silver (GAC075)

  • 46m @ 2.2 g/t silver from 54m to end of hole , incl. 1m @ 0.5 g/t gold & 0.5% zinc (GAC085)

  • 31m @ 1.0 g/t silver from 63m to end of hole (GAC073)

  • 9m @ 1.4 g/t silver from 58m (GAC086)

  • 3m @ 9.0 g/t silver & 0.1% Cu from 57m (GAC079)

These drill intercepts complement previously reported drill intercepts from the Morning Bill prospect (see NML ASX releases of 23 April 2018 & 21 March 2019):

  • 46m @ 8.1 g/t silver from 53m to end of hole , incl. 1m @ 252 g/t silver & 3.1 g/t gold (GAC030)

  • 33m @ 2.1 g/t silver from 44m to end of hole (GAC028)

  • 10m @ 1.2 g/t silver from 56m to end of hole (GAC029)

  • 31m @ 6.1 g/t silver from 54m to end of hole , incl. 1m @ 155 g/t silver & 4.0 g/t gold (GAC042)

  • 37m @ 2.9 g/t silver from 53m to end of hole (GAC045)

  • 48m @ 2.9 g/t silver from 51m to end of hole (GAC046)

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

  • 23m @ 30.3 g/t silver from 76m to end of hole , incl. 2m @ 245 g/t silver & 0.5 g/t gold (GAC054)

  • 47m @ 11.8 g/t silver from 58m to end of hole , incl. 1m @ 390 g/t silver & 1.0 g/t gold (GAC055)

  • 27m @ 1.4 g/t silver from 49m to end of hole (GAC056)

  • 51m @ 7.3 g/t silver from 45m to end of hole , incl. 1m @ 248 g/t silver & 0.5 g/t gold (GAC057)

N a v a r r e M i n e r a l s L i m i t e d ( N M L ) A S X A n n o u n c e m e n t P a g e | 4

  • 60m @ 2.0 g/t silver from 36m to end of hole (GAC058)

  • 40m @ 1.3 g/t silver from 56m to end of hole (GAC059)

  • 15m @ 1.0 g/t silver from 70m (GAC060)

These highly anomalous metal intersections are considered significant for this early stage of reconnaissance drilling into the weathered top of the basement rocks.

The broad silver and gold zone intersected in drilling is coincident with a magnetic low zone, interpreted to represent demagnetising of the volcanic (andesite) host rock as a result of the pervasive silica-sericite alteration. This observation highlights other larger magnetic lows within the project area that remain untested (T1 – T7 in Figure 3). The silver-gold zone also coincides with a deeper (200 – 300m) Induced Polarisation (IP) chargeability anomaly which currently remains untested by drilling (see Figure 5).

The Company also reports that it has recently completed an airborne VTEM geophysical survey to assist with the search for potential massive sulphide mineralisation below the post-mineralisation cover rocks at Glenlyle. Final processing and interpretation of the VTEM survey is in progress. Preliminary observations indicate the cover rocks are more conductive than previously thought which may interfere with the signal of the basement responses. Further investigation and processing may be required to refine potential subtle features observed in the basement rocks.

The orientation of the mineralisation and the controlling structures at the Morning Bill prospect are poorly understood at this stage of early exploration and will require diamond drilling to understand the geometry of the mineralised system. The Company interprets the mineralised broad alteration zones to represent potential epithermal-style mineralisation situated above a deeper porphyry target, as indicated in the IP geophysics (Figure 5).

Next Steps

Planning for follow-up diamond drilling at the Morning Bill prospect is underway, potentially to be undertaken during the coming quarter, subject to cropping activity, Autumn weather conditions and any health and safety considerations and government restrictions arising from the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Follow-up regional reconnaissance AC drilling will be planned on receipt and integration of final VTEM data with previous IP, magnetics and gravity geophysical surveys.

Background – Glenlyle Project (EL 5497)

Navarre’s 2018 maiden drilling program at the Glenlyle Project intersected a thick pile of andesitic volcanics below a (10 – 40m thick) veneer of Newer Volcanics basalt cover. 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 3). 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 post-mineralisation Newer Volcanics cover that 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.

Competent Person Declaration

The information in this release that relates to Exploration Targets, Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Shane Mele, who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and who is Exploration Manager of Navarre Minerals Limited. Mr Mele has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity which he is undertaking, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Mele consents to the inclusion in the release of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

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.

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 base metals projects in Victoria, Australia.

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 in western Victoria. The Project area captures multiple polymetallic targets in three project areas including Glenlyle, Black Range and Stavely . All properties are 100% owned except EL5425 where Stavely Minerals Limited is earning an 80% interest by spending $0.45M over 5 years.

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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
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
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.

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, theparameters used in

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.

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.

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
procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Variable drill hole spacings are used to adequately 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.

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.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 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
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 & 4 and Tables 1 –
5 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 5.

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 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.
