VICTORIA’S NEWEST RESOURCE

STAWELL CORRIDOR GOLD PROJECT – Irvine Dome

  • Maiden Mineral Resource just the start…

  • Further drilling to convert Exploration Target (280-420koz) and follow mineralisation down plunge to add to the inventory

  • Refine understanding of the mineralised signature – hone exploration techniques for application on other basalt domes along the Stawell Corridor

  • We’ve ‘banked’ 300koz, can ‘see’ the next 300-400koz and will step out to identify the next +300koz on our way to a targeted 1moz+ inventory at the Stawell Corridor

FORGING AHEAD IN THE RIGHT POSTCODE

STAWELL CORRIDOR GOLD PROJECT

  • Rapidly growing minerals province in western Victoria

  • Stawell Gold Mine currently operated by Arete Capital (private)

  • New entrant North Stawell Minerals listed on ASX in 2020 – interest in significant strike length of corridor north of Stawell Gold Mine

  • Region also hosts Stavely Minerals – targeting a maiden Mineral Resource for the Cayley Lode (copper-gold) in Stavely Arc immediately to west

  • Navarre holds 100% interest in 70km of strike length of Stawell Corridor with multiple recognised basalt domes – camp-scale potential

  • Continued demand for properties through both government tender and queue of new entrants to the region

FOLLOWING THE OLD TIMERS

ST ARNAUD GOLD PROJECT

  • Historic underground mining during the gold rush (1855-1913), more recently open pit mining in 1990’s (Comstock – Nelson Line)

  • Navarre’s first pass drilling confirms several continuous lines of gold mineralisation, extending north under cover[1]

  • Encouraging early gold and silver intercepts

  • Follow up drilling programs:

  • Diamond drilling on the New Bendigo line in progress

  • Diamond drilling on the Nelson line to commence in current quarter

  • Previous 1m @ 1,174 g/t Au (2008) at New Bendigo[2 ] demonstrates the potential for high grade mineralisation

DRILLING BELOW OLD WORKINGS

ASX: NML

ST ARNAUD GOLD PROJECT

  • Main lease granted in 2020 after competitive application process

  • Historic production and significant workings demonstrate continuous gold mineralisation, albeit limited by lack of drilling

  • NML to drill at depth and along strike following known extents

  • Remains unconstrained along three lines of lode, with little recent exploration

  • Assessing the economic potential by targeting a maiden mineral resource over next 12 months

  • Morning Bill prospect centred between two magnetic highs

  • Strongly anomalous gold, silver, lead and zinc grades define mineralised footprint of over 1,000 metres by 400 metres

  • Peak grades up to 390 g/t silver, 16.5g/t gold, 9.1% zinc, 4.8% lead

  • Morning Bill likely part of a much larger mineral system

  • Open at depth and along strike

A GOLDEN FUTURE – MORE TO COME

ASX: NML

SUMMARY

  • Victoria is a world class address for high grade gold discoveries

  • Maiden resource is a down payment on the path to a million ounce inventory:

  • Drilling continues at Stawell Corridor to enlarge the current Resource, and upgrade Exploration Targets into additional resources and extend the known limits of

mineralisation

  • Targeting a maiden resource below and between the historic workings of the St Arnaud Goldfield

  • Advancing the Morning Bill discovery at Glenlyle – aiming to drill test the roots of this system

while also advancing our understanding of further potential across the tenement

  • Commence a maiden diamond drilling campaign at Jubilee – following the historic workings

  • Tandarra JV continues to demonstrate high grade gold mineralisation
