QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT For the period ended 30 June 2014

Carnavale Resources Ltd (ASX: CAV) is pleased to report on its activities at projects in USA and Western Australia for the June 2014 Quarter.

Essex Project, Utah, USA

During the quarter Carnavale withdrew from its agreement to earn an interest in the Essex Copper Tailings Project in Utah, USA.

Initial results from exploration and evaluation of the project did not meet the company’s investment criteria.

Long Horse Project – Joint Venture (Western Australia)

The Long Horse Project covers a total of 87 blocks south-west of Coolgardie, WA. It is adjacent to mineral claims and nickel sulphide occurrences known as the Queen Victoria Rocks Project owned by Hannans Reward Limited (ASX: HNR). The Long Horse project area also includes areas formerly included in a joint venture between Emu Nickel Limited and Mincor Resources NL.

With the recent granting of some of the tenements Carnavale plans to do a desktop review of historical data and to commence reconnaissance exploration of several prospects to further refine priority targets.

Gold-Silver-Copper Projects in USA

Subsequent to quarter end, Carnavale entered into an agreement giving it the option to acquire the rights to two highly prospective Gold (Au) –Silver (Ag) - Copper (Cu) projects in Arizona and Nevada, USA

Carnavale has entered into an option agreement with Tojo Minerals Pty Ltd (“Tojo”) whereby Carnavale can acquire all of the issued shares in Tojo within a 7 month period.

For details of the terms of the agreement with Tojo, refer the news release issued by the Company on 30 July 2014. The Company wishes to also release the following supporting information to ensure compliance with ASX listing rules and to meet JORC 2012 Code and guidelines for the reporting of exploration results, mineral resources and ore reserves.

The table below comprising section 1 sampling techniques and data and section 2 reporting of exploration results is to accompany the ASX release dated 30 July 2014.

Corporate

In line with the proposed acquisition of Tojo and the new growth strategy Mr Andrew Beckwith has been appointed Managing Director with Mr Ron Gajewski to remain as Chairman.

Mr Andrew Beckwith is a director of Tojo, and is a successful explorer whose past experience includes senior roles with AngloGold Ashanti, Acacia Resources, Normandy NFM, North Flinders Mines, BP Minerals Australia and more recently at Westgold Resources, where he led the team initially as exploration manager and then as Managing Director.

As at 30 June 2009 the Company had cash at bank totaling $1.52 million .

The information in this report that relates to exploration results is based on, and fairly represents information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr Andrew Beckwith, a Competent Person who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Beckwith is a Director of Carnavale Resources Limited. Mr Beckwith has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves”. Mr Beckwith consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Addendum to June 2014 Quarterly Report

Carnavale Resources Limited (ASX:CAV) provides the following addendum to the June 2014 Quarterly Activities Report lodged with the ASX on 31 July 2014 in relation to additional information required by Listing Rule 5.3.3.

Mining Tenements held at the end of the quarter and their location

None

Mining Tenements acquired during the quarter and their location

None

Mining Tenements disposed of during the quarter and their location

None

Beneficial percentage interests held in farm-in or farm-out agreements at the end of the quarter

Carnavale is in joint venture with Barrambie Minerals Limited over licences E15/1352 and E15/1372 whereby Carnavale can earn up to 80% interest in these licences by spending $1,250,000 in exploration. As at the end of the quarter, CAV had not earned an interest in the licences.
