OUTSTANDING GOLD AND SILVER GRADES FROM FIRST DIAMOND HOLE AT MORNING BILL

DIAMOND AND AIR CORE DRILLING CAMPAIGN PROVIDES STRONG EVIDENCE OF A LARGE CONCEALED GOLD AND SILVER SYSTEM WITH POLYMETALLIC POTENTIAL

  • Navarre has received further outstanding gold and silver assay results from a recently completed diamond core and air-core drilling program at its Morning Bill prospect in western Victoria.

  • New results include a high grade intercept in the first diamond drill hole of 1.9 metres at 10.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 130 g/t silver, 0.4% lead and 1.3% zinc from 142.6 metres. This intercept includes 1.0 metre at 16.5 g/t gold, 216 g/t silver, 0.7% lead and 2.0% zinc.

  • Two broad zones of gold have also been intersected: 76 metres at 0.4 g/t from 14m in GAC189 to end of hole and 46.8 metres at 0.5 g/t gold from 120.5m in GDD001.

  • The results provide further evidence that Morning Bill is a large, concealed gold-silver system with polymetallic potential.

  • Results are pending for a further seven diamond core drill holes on completion of geological logging, sampling and assaying.

Navarre Minerals Limited (Navarre or the Company) (ASX: NML) reports outstanding gold and silver results at its wholly-owned Morning Bill prospect within the Glenlyle tenement in western Victoria (EL5497), with the potential for additional broader polymetallic mineralisation (Figure 1).

The latest assays come from the first of eight diamond core holes, as well as all 22 holes of air-core (AC) drilling completed at the prospect.

The drilling has intersected strongly anomalous gold, silver, copper lead and zinc grades, over a 1,000 metre strike extent and a width of approximately 400 metres.

The results from the remaining seven diamond holes are pending and are expected to be released following completion of geological logging, sampling assaying and interpretation.

In all, the 5,042 metre drilling program consisted of 2,994 metres across eight diamond core holes – one of them a replicated hole - and 2,048 metres across 22 AC holes.

Navarre’s Managing Director Ian Holland, said:

“We are extremely excited about the results from the first ever diamond hole drilled beneath the shallow mineralised footprint we have uncovered at our greenfields Morning Bill prospect.

“While it is early days for exploring this mineral system, the potentially economic levels of gold with silver and base metals mineralisation confirm our belief that Morning Bill could emerge as one of our best mineral discoveries. This is alongside our other exciting discoveries at Resolution, Adventure and Tandarra in Victoria.

“The latest results provide further evidence that we may be onto a very large, concealed gold, silver and base metals system.

“We look forward to sharing with you the results from the remainder of our initial diamond core drilling program, which tested the vertical extensions beneath our best air-core drilling results.”

The mineralisation occurs beneath a veneer of younger, unmineralised cover known as the Newer Volcanics, ranging in thickness from approximately five to 30 metres (Figure 3).

This release covers all assays from the 22 AC holes drilled and the first diamond hole.

Situated 25 kilometres south-west of Ararat, the Glenlyle tenement is hosted within the Dryden-Stavely Volcanic Belt. This belt of rocks also hosts Stavely Minerals’ Cayley Lode copper discovery at its nearby Thursdays Gossan deposit.

Navarre discovered Morning Bill as a greenfields prospect in 2018.

THE DRILLING PROGRAM IN DETAIL

DIAMOND CORE DRILLING

Navarre has completed the first ever diamond core drilling of the Morning Bill prospect. The program aimed to gain an appreciation of the rock types hosting the mineralisation, the mineralisation style, alteration patterns, structural information, lithology orientations and to gauge the vertical extent of the mineralisation.

Eight holes were drilled, one of them being a substitute hole (GDD002A for GDD002). In all, 2,994 metres were drilled to test 1,000 metres of strike of the Morning Bill prospect.

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 GAC 189 (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) (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).

A further five diamond core holes were drilled in the north of the prospect. These were focussed around or under the strongest silver hits, pervasive alteration and sulphidic veins detected in previous AC drilling. Initial observations from geological logging of the diamond drill core are leading to the identification 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); and

  • multiple structural trends from the drill core with the most notable structures/veins being orientated east-west (north dip) and north – south (steep west to flat east dip).

AIR- CORE DRILLING

Following recognition of east-west trending mineralised structures, a 22 hole drilling program totalling 2,048 metres of mainly south orientated AC drilling was carried out (previous AC drilling was sub-parallel to this vein trend).

This AC drilling intersected discrete gold-silver mineralisation, plus zinc, lead and copper mineralisation within a broad envelope of anomalous silver (as seen in the earlier phases of shallow AC drilling).

The gold-silver zone is interpreted to have lateral extents of approximately 400 metres (NE-SW) by 1,000 meters (NW-SE), remaining open along strike and at depth (Figures 2 & 3). The mineralisation occurs as fine-grained disseminations and as discrete silica and sulphide veinlets, within pervasive sericite-pyrite altered volcanics.

The latest results, reported above, complement previously reported drill intercepts from the Morning Bill prospect (refer ASX announcements on 23 April 2018, 21 March 2019, 14 April 2020, 4 February 2021, 4 March 2021, 18 March 2021):

The broad silver and gold zone intersected at the Morning Bill coincides with a magnetic low zone, interpreted to represent demagnetising of the volcanic host rocks as a result of pervasive silica-sericite alteration (Figure 3). The broad gold zones detected in GAC156 and GAC189 are located close to a modelled magnetic ‘pipe-like’ feature, with controls to mineralisation unknown at this early stage. The geological logging and interpretation of diamond holes GDD004 and GDD005, completed in the current program, are expected to assist with understanding the controls on the deposition of gold mineralisation in this area.

The Company expects to improve its understanding of the orientation of the mineralisation and the controlling structures at Morning Bill after logging and interpretation of the diamond program is completed. This understanding will be applied to follow up drilling programs scheduled for later in the year following completion of the annual crop harvest.

The Company is developing models for the style and geometry of the mineralisation which is expected to assist with further drill targeting. At this stage, geologists interpret the mineralised broad alteration zones to represent potential epithermal-style mineralisation situated above a deeper porphyry target.

BACKGROUND TO THE GLENLYLE TENEMENT (EL 5497)

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 metre thick metal depletion zone typically occurs.

Below the depletion zone several areas of strong sericite-pyrite alteration have been 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.

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. These volcanic rocks are concealed beneath the Newer Volcanics cover (Figure 3), which post-dates mineralisation and has made surface sampling and exploration difficult in the past.

Previous work indicates a high level of preservation of the original Stavely Arc sequence with probable sub-volcanic 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 Australian-based gold exploration company focused on discovering 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. Collectively, this is known as the Stawell Corridor Gold Project).

The Company primarily is focussed on the discovery of outcropping gold on the margins of the Irvine basalt dome (Resolution and Adventure lodes) and high-grade gold in shallow drilling at Langi Logan. These projects are situated 20 and 40 kilometres respectively south of the operating, five million ounce Stawell Gold Mine.

The high-grade Tandarra Gold Projectis 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.

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 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.

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 three project areas including Glenlyle, Eclipse andStavely. These properties are currently 100% owned apart from Stavely (EL 5425). This tenement 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.
Aircore 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.

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

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

All drill core was routinely cut in half (usually on the
right of the marked orientation line) with a diamond
saw and submitted for analysis.
Sample representivity was ensured by a combination of
Company procedures regarding quality control (QC) and
quality assurance/ Testing (QA). Certified standards and
blanks were routinely inserted into assay batches.
Drilling
techniques

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

AC drilling was carried out using a Wallis Mantis 80
AC 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.
Diamond Core Drilling

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

ASX Announcement

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

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.
AC Drilling

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

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

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

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

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

All drill depths are checked against the depth
provided on the core blocks and rod counts are
routinely carried out by the driller.

Core recovery for the areas sampled was 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 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.

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.

Aircore 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.
Diamond Core Drilling

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 analysis

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+3 metres. 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 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.

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 like 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 the same geological unit.
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 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 is 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

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

No top cuts have been applied.

An average nominal 0.3g/t Au and 0.3/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.

in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
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’).

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

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 and/ or
diamond drilling programs.
