Miga Arc Victoria’s emerging copper – gold porphyry province

Similar to Andes, largest known copper porphyry mines, but at an early stage of exploration

Comparable to Macquarie Arc (Cadia Valley & North Parkes mines)

Volcanic arcs host large deposits - porphyry copper, epithermal base metal & gold deposits

Porphyries occur in clusters & are large, low-grade deposits of more than 500Mt with 0.3% - 2% copper 0.3g/t - 2g/t gold

Eclipse Prospect Advancing towards a porphyry Cu-Au discovery

3 large targets: 2 undrilled; no deep drilling

Shallow drilling of IP Target 1:

Discovery of enriched copper (chalcocite) 30m below surface

Discovery of broad gold zone containing high grades up to 5.6g/t Au

Shallow gold & copper part of a deeper & larger anomaly

Follow-up 3,000m angled RC drill program starts June 2014

Page 11: Navarre Minerals | ASX:NML | RIS2014 Broken Hill Investor Presentation

Three large targets – only IP Target 1 superficially tested to date

Shallow drilling shows match of high-chargeability with shallow Cu-Au sulphide zone

Secondary chalcocite (enriched copper) indicates deeper porphyry copper source

IP Target 1 upper gold & copper zone linked to deeper, larger IP chargeability anomaly

Prospect area is under-drilled & under-explored

Eclipse – compelling exploration potential
