MORNING BILL CONFIRMED AS A LARGE GOLD, SILVER AND BASE METAL SYSTEM

INAUGURAL DIAMOND DRILLING CAMPAIGN HIGHLIGHTS POTENTIAL FOR A LARGE POLYMETALLIC MINERAL SYSTEM CONCEALED BELOW SHALLOW COVER

  • Navarre reports ongoing strong gold, silver and base metal results from the remaining five holes in its inaugural 2,994 metre diamond core drilling campaign at Morning Bill.

  • The campaign reveals substantial mineralisation at depth below a broad gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc footprint defined in earlier air-core drilling.

  • Peak assays for the entire diamond drilling program include 16.5 grams per tonne gold, 216 g/t silver, 1.2% copper, 9.1% zinc and 4.8% lead.

  • A major geophysics program is underway as a prelude to an aggressive drilling program to start later this year.

Navarre Minerals Limited (Navarre or the Company) (ASX: NML) continues to report impressive gold, silver and base metal results at its Morning Bill prospect, a key target within its wholly owned Glenlyle tenement (EL5497) in western Victoria (Figure 1).

The Company has now completed all eight holes across 2,994 metres of drilling, marking its first follow up of strongly anomalous gold, silver, copper lead and zinc mineralisation reported in earlier air-core (AC) drilling (refer ASX announcements on 2 June 2021, 4 & 18 March 2021, 4 February 2021).

The latest highlight intercepts for the last five diamond core holes of the eight-hole program include (see Tables 1-6 and Figures 2 & 3):

  • 9.7 metres @ 1.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 306.8m, including 0.9m @ 4.3 g/t gold from within a broader zone of 30.5m @ 0.6 g/t gold, (GDD006)

  • 278.9m @ 2.8 g/t silver from 70.2m, including 1.4m @ 117.1 g/t silver (GDD006)

  • 194.8m @ 1.1 g/t silver from 222.7m to end of hole (GDD007)

  • 5.1m @ 13.7 g/t silver from 298.5m to end of hole, including 1.0m @ 58.6 g/t silver (GDD005)

The target area covers a 1,100-metre strike extent and a width of up to approximately 400 metres (Figure

2). This near-surface mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth.

The diamond program aimed to gauge the vertical extent of the mineralisation and to add further to the understanding of the rock types, mineralisation style, alteration patterns and structures (general physical characteristics).

The results reported in this release are from the remaining five diamond holes (GDD002, GDD004, GDD005, GDD006 and GDD007), as well as the remainder of GDD003 (partial results were reported to the ASX on 10 June 2021).

All eight diamond holes have intersected variably broad to strong gold, silver and associated polymetallic mineralisation.

The latest results follow the previous release of results to the ASX on 2 June and 10 June 2021. These assays included:

  • 1.9m @ 10.1 g/t gold from 142.6m, including 1.0m @ 16.5 g/t gold, 216.0 g/t silver & 2.0% zinc from within a broader interval of 46.8m @ 0.5 g/t gold from 120.5m (GDD001)

  • 2.5m @ 3.7 g/t gold from 364.9m, including 0.9m @ 9.1 g/t gold (GDD001)

  • 305.4m @ 3.0 g/t silver from 72.6m, including 1.9m @ 130.0 g/t silver (GDD001)

  • 6.7m @ 1.8 g/t gold, 2.4 g/t silver, 1.5% zinc, 0.4% lead and 0.1% copper from 208.6m (GDD003), including:

  • 0.4m @ 10.1 g/t gold, 11.4 g/t silver, 9.1% zinc, 4.8% lead and 0.2% copper;

  • 0.4m @ 8.0 g/t gold, 2.7 g/t silver, 4.9% zinc and 0.2% copper; and

  • 0.3m @ 2.3 g/t gold, 2.0 g/t silver, 1.8% zinc and 1.2% copper

  • 0.6m at 3.6 g/t gold, 9.0 g/t silver, 0.5% zinc and 0.2% lead from 363.7m (GDD002A)

Navarre’s Managing Director Ian Holland, said:

“While it’s early days for exploring this mineral system, we are extremely pleased with the results we’re getting from Morning Bill. They provide strong evidence that we are onto a very large, concealed gold, silver and base metals system.

“The potential ‘ore grade’ levels of gold with silver and base metals mineralisation confirm our belief that Morning Bill could emerge as one of our best mineral discoveries.

“We are presently undertaking a major geophysics program to provide a high-quality 3D model for the greater Morning Bill prospect, ahead of an aggressive drilling program to commence at the end of this year.”

The Company is also engaging in expert analysis to guide the next stage of exploration, which is expected to cover a further 5,000 metres of diamond core drilling and 8,000 metres of AC drilling.

While the Stawell Corridor Gold Project remains Navarre’s flagship venture as it transitions from explorer to developer, the Glenlyle venture is considered by the Company to be one of western Victoria’s most exciting mineral projects.

THE DIAMOND CORE PROGRAM IN DETAIL

Navarre has completed its first ever diamond core drilling of the Morning Bill prospect (Figures 2 – 5). The program aimed to gauge the vertical extent of the mineralisation, identify key rock types, the mineralisation style, alteration patterns and structural information.

Eight holes were drilled, one of them being a substitute hole (GDD002A for GDD002). In all, 2,994 metres were drilled to test 1,100 metres of strike extent.

Two of the diamond holes (GDD004 and GDD005) were drilled on the southern end of the prospect, as follow-up to broad zones of gold mineralisation detected in AC drill holes GAC189 (76m @ 0.4 g/t gold from 14m to end of hole) and GAC156 (65m @ 0.3 g/t gold from 16m to end of hole) (refer ASX announcements on 18 March 2021 & 2 June 2021 and Figures 2 & 3).

One hole (GDD003) was drilled into the centre of the prospect, targeting the widest part of a geophysical magnetic low generated from inversion modelling (Figures 2, 3 & 5).

A further five diamond core holes were drilled in the north of the prospect. These were focussed around, or under, the strongest silver intercepts, pervasive alteration and sulphidic veins detected in previous AC drilling.

Preliminary analysis of the diamond core samples indicates:

  • the presence of multiple broad zones of pervasive sericite-pyrite alteration associated with intense hydrothermal brecciation. These zones are accompanied by numerous veins of galena (lead), sphalerite (zinc), chalcopyrite (copper), tetrahedrite (silver) and arsenopyrite (commonly associated with gold);

  • multiple structural trends with two main mineralised veins orientations: east-west trend (moderate north dip); and north – south trend (steep west to flat east dip); and

  • the mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike, with drill holes GDD001 and GD003 returning Morning Bill’s best gold, copper, zinc and lead assays to date (see Figures 2 & 3).

The broad silver and gold zone intersected at Morning Bill coincides with a magnetic low zone, interpreted as demagnetised volcanic rocks resulting from pervasive silica-sericite alteration (Figure 3).

The Company is developing models to improve its understanding for the style and geometry of the mineralising structures at Morning Bill, which is expected to be enhanced following receipt of new geophysical information currently being collected (refer ASX announcement on 8 July 2021).

This understanding will be applied to follow up with an aggressive drilling program, scheduled for later this year when the annual crop harvest is completed and exploration teams can access farmers’ land.

Navarre geologists interpret the Morning Bill mineralisation to be epithermal in style, potentially situated adjacent to a larger porphyry target.

BACKGROUND - MORNING BILL (GLENLYLE TENEMENT, EL 5497)

Situated 25 kilometres south-west of Ararat in western Victoria, the Morning Bill prospect is a 2018 greenfields discovery beneath a 5 – 30 metre thickness of younger, unmineralised cover known as the Newer Volcanics (Figure 3).

The Morning Bill prospect is hosted within the Dryden-Stavely Volcanic Belt. This belt of rocks also hosts Stavely Minerals’ (ASX: SVY) Cayley Lode copper discovery at its nearby Thursdays Gossan deposit.

Navarre’s 2018 maiden drilling program at Glenlyle intersected a thick pile of andesitic volcanics below a 5- 30-metre-thick veneer of Newer Volcanics basalt cover. At the top of the basement rocks, a 15-20-metrethick metal depletion zone typically occurs.

Below the depletion zone several areas of strong sericite-pyrite alteration were intersected. This alteration correlates with a coincident gravity and magnetic low, interpreted as either a buried porphyry intrusive (potential source of mineralised fluids) or a broad alteration zone related to epithermal-style mineralisation (now referred to as the Morning Bill prospect).

Historical exploration by previous explorers at Glenlyle 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.

Drilling indicates that the complex circular magnetic feature comprises a variety of felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks containing varying degrees of hydrothermal alteration intensity.

Previous work indicates a high level of preservation of the original Stavely Arc sequence with probable subvolcanic intrusions, which is a positive indicator of 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 potentially significant areas of economic mineralisation.

ABOUT NAVARRE MINERALS LIMITED:

Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML) is an advanced gold exploration company focused on discovering and developing large, long-life and high-grade gold deposits in underexplored 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 (~six million ounce) and Ararat (~one million ounce) goldfields (the Stawell Corridor Gold Project).

Within this Project, the Company’s focus is growing the recently reported maiden Mineral Resource on the margins of the Irvine basalt dome (Resolution and Adventure prospects) and advancing the high-grade gold discovery at Langi Logan. These projects are situated 20 and 40 kilometres respectively south of the operating, five-million-ounce Magdala Gold Mine.

The Company is searching for high-grade gold at its St Arnaud Gold Project . Recent drilling has identified gold mineralisation under shallow cover, up to 5 kilometres north from the nearest historical mine workings, which the Company believes may be an extension of the 400,000-ounce St Arnaud Goldfield.

The high-grade Tandarra Gold Project is 50km northwest of Kirkland Lake Gold’s world-class Fosterville Gold Mine, and 40 kilometres 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.

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 have a similar structural setting to the high-grade Swan-Eagle system at Fosterville.

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 two project areas including Glenlyle and Stavely. The Stavely Project (EL 5425) is subject to a farm-in agreement by which Stavely Minerals Limited may earn an 80% interest by spending $450,000 over five years.

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.
Diamond Core Drilling

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

Drill core was routinely cut in half (usually on the
right of the marked orientation line) with a diamond
saw, and one half 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.

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.
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 considered appropriate to
correctly represent the sought after mineralisation.

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.

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 Glenlyle, topographic control is achieved via use of
a DTM developed from a 2008 ground gravity survey
measuring relative height using radar techniques.

Down-hole surveys have not been undertaken.

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)

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

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

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.

geological
structure

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.

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 Pooraka, SA (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.

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 Morning Bill prospect 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 and renewed subsequently for
another 5-year period.

The tenement is current and in good standing.

The Morning Bill prospect occurs on freehold land.
Exploration done
by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

Past exploration has identified the Glenlyle
tenement as a potential intrusive complex like the
nearby Thursdays Gossan deposit. Past work over
the period 2002-2008 comprised a range of
geophysical surveys (Ground magnetics, IP and trial
EM) which identified several targets which were
tested by five RC drill holes.

Recent structural interpretation by the Geological
Survey of Victoria indicates the Dryden and Stavely
volcanic belts as being the same geological unit.

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 2 and 3
and Tables 1 – 6 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 are tabulated
in Table 1.

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 0.5/t Ag 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’).

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.
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 have been 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 drill results are expected to be
followed up with infill and expansion drilling
programs.
