Investment case

Potential new goldfield emerging in central Victoria

  • Bendigo North, Tandarra gold discovery under shallow cover - 40km along strike from 22Moz Bendigo Goldfield

  • 29 lines of quartz reef targets identified by geophysics - 14 confirmed goldbearing by air-core drilling. Only three tested by RC drilling

  • Moderate to high-grade gold mineralisation – demonstrated near surface by RC drilling over 850m, within a 2.5km zone established by air-core drilling

  • Geology and mineralisation analogous to the Bendigo Goldfield - located on same controlling fault

  • Maiden mineral resource target for 2013 at Tandarra

Other highlights

  • High grade gold results at Kingston located close to producing Stawell Gold Mine

  • Extensive land position at Black Range which is prospective for base metals with affinities to Tasmania’s Mt Read Volcanics

  • $3.7 million cash at bank as at March 2012

Bendigo North An emerging gold district

  • 100% ownership of flagship project

  • Shallow Murray Basin cover conceals goldbearing basement rocks from previous discovery

  • Whitelaw Fault controls gold mineralisation (22 million ounce Bendigo Goldfield)

  • New farm-in area expands Navarre’s footprint along Whitelaw Fault

  • Target concept: multiple “Bendigo-style” gold in quartz reefs & secondary gold (“alluvials”)

  • Recent near surface broad intercepts of gold mineralisation confirm greenfields gold discovery with potential for open pit mining

  • • Crocodile Gold Corp. “back-in” option

Tandarra

Best gold prospect in Victoria

  • Navarre considers that Tandarra is the highest quality new gold discovery in Victoria during the past 100 years

  • New geophysical approach followed by scout drilling uncovers multiple lines of quartz reef

  • Scale potential from multiple quartz reefs

  • Our objective is to advance Tandarra to mineral resource status as efficiently as possible

  • Bulk sample of RC drill residue to assist grade estimation

  • Drill program recommences in Q3 2012

==> picture [375 x 470] intentionally omitted <==

Tandarra

High-quality project

  • Drill results supportive of conceptual open pit:

  • gold grades range from moderate to high-grade

  • close to surface (18-100m)

  • potentially open-pit mineable

  • near established infrastructure and large workforce

  • open in all directions

  • Gold mineralisation identified over 7 kilometres of strike

Tandarra

2012 Drilling to date

  • Multiple broad zones of gold mineralisation intersected from shallow depths

  • High grade gold occurs within a broad halo of mineralised quartz

Navarre believes the broad zones of shallow gold mineralisation offer potential for bulk mining by open pit methods

  • 850m strike of moderate to high-grade gold mineralisation on Tomorrow Line To date, only 3 of 29 potential quartz reefs have been tested by RC drilling

Tandarra

Cross-Section

Pathway to exploration success Bendigo North (Tandarra) our flagship asset

Our goal is to define a mineral resource and then be a significant gold producer by advancing this project sequentially over the near-term. We believe Tandarra has the potential to be a company-maker.

This conceptual chart represents an estimated timeline of activity at the Company’s Tandarra prospect. As new information is received from exploration activities this timeline may be subject to change. To date, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource and there is no guarantee that further exploration will result in a mineral resource.

Tandarra

Victorian gold!… what’s different at Tandarra?

New greenfields discovery

  • No previous mining

  • Multiple lines of reef detected

  • Potential for secondary gold

Concealed under shallow sands & clays Potential for repetition at depth Alluvials, deep leads yet to be tested

Near surface mining opportunity from multiple lines of reef

  • Lower risk

  • Lower opex

Easier to assess from surface Compared to underground mining

Potential for scale from large gold footprint

  • 29 potential lines of reef

  • Currently 5.4 km (E-W) x 7.5 km (N-S)

14 proven by drilling to date Open in all directions

Attractive grades

  • Near surface gold

  • Victorian lodes 1.0g Au/t – 15g Au/t

Not high-graded by historic miners Attractive open pit potential

Bendigo Goldfield analogy

  • Similar rocks, mineralisation, structure

Tandarra 40km north on same control Fault From area of 45km² (Tandarra 40km²)

  • About 5-7 Moz’s gold mined in top 100m

Project Pipeline

==> picture [174 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Kingston

Emerging gold project close to established infrastructure

  • At-surface, oxide gold mineralisation with shallow high-grade gold intercepts including recent Navarre drilling - 16.9m @ 5.5g Au/t from 66m down-hole in DDK001

  • 100% owned with dominant position along prospective Landsborough Fault

  • Historic mining over 1,000 metres of strike to 75 metres deep - high-grade gold, silver and minor lead mined

  • Active mining jurisdiction – Stawell Gold Mines operation 30 kilometres away

==> picture [157 x 127] intentionally omitted <==

Kingston Gold Mine circa 1900

Kingston Previous High-grade gold intercepts to follow up

==> picture [294 x 438] intentionally omitted <==

  • 4,200 line km airborne magnetic survey recently completed across Kingston Mine and Landsborough Fault

  • Surface structural mapping scheduled for late Q2 2012

Black Range Significant copper-zinc-gold prospect

  • We believe that the Black Range Volcanic rocks are similar in age and geology to Tasmania’s Mt Read Volcanics - host to large deposits such as Mt Lyell, Rosebery, Henty & Hellyer

  • Under-explored due to poor outcrop and shallow cover

  • 100% owned

  • Large copper-zinc-gold mineralisation of potential volcanic massive sulfide (VMS) system identified at Eclipse

  • Experts on Tasmanian VMS rocks and VMS geophysics assisting exploration targeting

2012 – 13 catalysts & milestones

This conceptual chart represents an estimated timeline of the Company’s projects. As new information is received from exploration activities this timeline may be subject to change. To date, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource and there is no guarantee that further exploration will result in a mineral resource.
