ASX Announcement 14 January 2021 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 ASX: NML

DRILLING EXPANDS GOLD POTENTIAL AT NAVARRE’S LANGI LOGAN PROJECT IN CENTRAL VICTORIA

  • New drill results from a 3,400 metre reconnaissance air-core drilling program enhance the potential scale of the mineralised gold system at Langi Logan, with a major fault offset target identified.

  • Extensive 2.5 kilometre long segment of mineralised Langi Logan North basalt dome identified northwest of previous known limits using combination of gravity and sparse historical air-core drilling data.

  • Drilling tested the prospective east and west margins of the Langi Logan north basalt dome with peak intercepts including two metres at 1.2 g/t gold and 1 metre at 2.4 g/t gold.

  • Preparations for further reconnaissance air-core drilling underway to scope the gold potential of the fault offset target.

Navarre Minerals Limited ( Navarre or the Company ; ASX:NML ) reports significant assay results for its recently completed reconnaissance air-core (AC) drilling program at its fully-owned Langi Logan Gold Project in Victoria, Australia (Figure 1).

The Langi Logan Project is part of Navarre’s 70 kilometre long Stawell Corridor Project, in the historically productive central Victorian goldfields (Figures 1 & 4).

As well as reporting encouraging assays, the results suggest the existence of a previously unknown major south-dipping fault that appears to displace the north Langi Logan basalt dome 1.5 kilometres to the west. In effect, the faulting extends the known area of potential gold mineralisation by up to 2.5 kilometres, with total strike extent of the Langi Logan basalt dome expanded to 14.5 kilometres.

Similar faulting is also a feature of the greater Stawell Gold Corridor, which hosts the producing four million ounce Magdala Gold Mine, 40 kilometres north and on-strike.

The Langi Logan basalt dome is the next major prospect for Magdala-style mineralisation south of Navarre’s Irvine basalt dome, also part of the Stawell Corridor Project (Figures 1 & 2).

Carried out across 56 holes, the 3,400 metre air-core program tested both flanks of the Langi Logan basalt dome (Figure 2).

Results have now been received and interpreted for all drill holes (see Tables 1 & 2; Figures 2 & 3), with the best intercepts including:

  • 2m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 46m in LLA185 (East Flank)

  • 2m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 12m in LLA198 (East Flank)

  • 1m @ 2.4 g/t Au from 57m in LLA199 (West Flank)

  • 1m @ 1.1 g/t Au from 30m in LLA203 (West Flank)

These results complement previous shallow AC drill intercepts[1] returned from the eastern flank of the North Langi Logan basalt (Figures 2 & 3):

  • 11m @ 5.1 g/t Au from within a broader interval of 33m @ 2.9 g/t Au in LLA014

  • 2m @ 19.4 g/t Au , including 1m @ 33.6g/t Au in LLA031

  • 1m @ 21.2 g/t Au in LLA120

  • 7m @ 2.4 g/t Au , including 1m @ 11.1 g/t Au in LLA024

  • 4m @ 1.7 g/t Au from within a broader zone of 28m @ 0.6 g/t Au in LLA030

1 See ASX announcements dated 30 January 2019, 12 February 2019 and for details. The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in these market announcements.

The project area consists of four, potentially fault-bound segments of a Cambrian basalt dome structure which includes the Langi Logan North Extension, Langi Logan North, Langi Logan Central and the Langi Logan South basalts, with a combined 14.5 kilometre strike length. Approximately 70% of the project area is covered by post-mineralisation Newer Volcanics ranging from a few metres to 30m in thickness.

The project is in an area of significant historical deep lead production, with 133,000 ounces of gold production recorded.

Navarre Managing Director Ian Holland said:

“The Langi Logan Project further enhances the potential of the Company’s Stawell Corridor ground, which now covers 70 kilometres of strike length including our flagship Irvine project.

“While we are still at an early stage of exploration, the results to date continue to support our view that this mineralised corridor has potential to host several multi-million ounce gold systems across a significant area.”

The Langi Logan drilling was part of the Company’s ongoing 12,000 metre regional drilling campaign (see ASX announcement of 5 October 2020).

With a healthy cash balance of $11.9 million at end of September 2020, the Company is currently honing its 2021 work program which will include further drilling at Langi Logan to target the well-mineralised east flank and its offset continuation to the north.

STAWELL GOLD CORRIDOR BACKGROUND

The Company is searching for large gold deposits in an extension of a corridor of rocks that host the five million ounce Stawell and one million ounce 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 five million ounce 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 70 kilometre long tenement package to date. The Company believes the regional potential of the Stawell Gold Corridor is significant, as shown by Navarre’s discoveries at the Irvine and Langi Logan prospects where gold is close 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 2.9 kilometres 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 400 metres 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 14 kilometre strike length and occurs in an area of significant historical deep lead production (133,000 ounces of gold recorded). Approximately 70 per cent of the project area is covered by post-mineralisation Newer Volcanics ranging up to 30 metres in thickness.

This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Directors of Navarre Minerals Limited.

JORC Reporting of Historical Langi Logan Exploration Results

The historical Langi Logan exploration results were accessed from various available public domain company annual technical reports and downloaded from the Victorian State Government’ GeoVic website. Although Navarre has reviewed and assessed these exploration results, it has limited knowledge on how the data was collected and assayed, and as a consequence, has had to make assumptions based on the available historical data generated by these companies.

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.

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 (Figure 4).

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.

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not
be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases, more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Air Core Drilling

All air-core (AC) drill holes have been routinely sampled at
1m intervals downhole directly from a rig mounted
cyclone. Each metre is collected and placed on a plastic
sheet on the ground and preserved for assay sub-sampling
analysis as required.

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. Samples were taken at 1m
intervals or as composites ranging from 2-5m intervals
ensuring a sample weight of between 2 to 3 kg per sub-
sample.

The sample size is deemed appropriate for the expected
grain size of the material being sampled.

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

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

AC drilling was carried out using a Wallis Mantis 80 Air-
core rig mounted on a 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.

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 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.

A small representative sample for each drill metre is
retained in a plastic chip tray for future reference and
logging checks. Detailed chip logging, with digital capture,
was conducted for all drill 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.

appropriateness of the samplepreparation

Company procedures were followed to ensure sub-
sampling adequacy and consistency. These included (but

been established.

Analysis for gold is undertaken at ALS Perth, WA by 50g
Fire Assay with an AAS finish to a lower detection limit of
0.01ppm Au using ALS technique Au-AA26.

ALS also conducted a 35 element Aqua Regia ICP-AES
(method: ME-ICP41) analysis on each sample to assist
interpretation of pathfinder elements.

No field non-assay analysis instruments were used in the
analyses reported.

A review of certified reference material and sample blanks
inserted by the Company indicate no significant analytical
bias or preparation errors in the reported analyses

Internal laboratory QAQC checks are reported by the
laboratory and a review of the QAQC reports suggests the
laboratory is performing within acceptable limits.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Samples are verified by database consultants (Geobase)
and 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.

A topographic control is achieved via use of DTM
developed from a 2005 ground gravity survey measuring
relative height using radar techniques.

Down-hole surveys have not been undertaken.
Data spacing

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 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.

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 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 Orange,
NSW (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

The tenements are current and in good standing.

The project area occurs on a combination of freehold and
crown land.

Crown land, subject to possible Native Title, is under
separate exploration licence applications currently being
considered by Earth Resources Regulation, Victorian
Government.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

There have been several phases of previous exploration
near the Langi Logan gold project, including several gold
drill intercepts which are referred to in this release.
Although Navarre has reviewed and assessed all previous
exploration results referred to in this release, it has
limited knowledge on how the data was collected,
sampled and assayed, and as a consequence has had to
make assumptions based on the available historical data.

Newcrest Operations Limited explored the licence area
under option from Range River Gold NL from 2004 to
2008 and undertook a gravity survey and a small drill
program. Drilling at the Langi Logan basalt dome
produced a best result of 2m @ 9.2 g/t Au from 228m
associated with arsenopyrite in a shear zone cutting
sulphidic meta-sedimentary rocks in RCDAR179.

BCD Metals Pty Ltd optioned the project area from Range
River Gold NL in 2009 and full control was granted to BCD
Metals when Range River went into voluntary
administration in April 2011. Further drilling of the Langi
Logan prospect confirmed anomalous gold values
reported by Newcrest but no significant intersections
were obtained.

BCD Metals in 2013 and completed an induced
polarisation survey on the NW flank of the basalt dome
that was followed up with a single diamond hole. No
significant intersections were obtained.

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 2-3 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 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 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’).

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 “downhole”
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.
