TANDARRA DIAMOND DRILLING CONFIRMS
PRESENCE OF MULTIPLE GOLD ZONES WITHIN
LAWRY PROSPECT
Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML) (Navarre or the Company) is pleased to report assay results
from the recently completed Tandarra Gold Project JV diamond drilling program at the Lawry
prospect.
Seven diamond drill holes (TND013 – TND018) have been completed as a follow-up to the previous
reported high-grade intersection from TND007: 12.9m @ 33.1g/t Au from 66.4m, including 0.5m @
831g/t1,
Mineralised quartz veining intersected in all drilling, showing continuity of the mineralised system
over 130m of strike and up to 190m below surface.
Highlights include
Hole TND013 returned
o
4.80m @ 1.43 g/t Au from 201.80m including
Hole TND016 returned
o
0.70m @ 2.21 g/t Au from 65.00m downhole
o
3.40m @ 5.97g/t Au from 118.60m downhole including:
0.80m @ 7.18 g/t Au from 202.80m
0.80m @ 14.46g/t from 118.6m and
1.10m @ 5.94 g/t from 120.90m
Hole TND017 returned 1.25m @ 4.02 g/t au from 61.80m
The drilling confirms that there are now multiple zones of gold mineralisation extending well into the
fresh rock. This confirms the gold distribution may be similar to that mined at the historic Bendigo
Goldfield where 22 million ounces of gold was produced.
These results will be further analysed by Navarre’s geological team to support the operator in
continuing the potential of Tandarra Gold Project over the coming 12 months.

Figure 1: Tandarra Gold Project - Lawry Prospect – Longitudinal Section.Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML)
(Navarre or the Company) is pleased to announce continued strong drilling results at the Tandarra Gold Project in
Victoria.
The Lawry prospect lies on the Reynolds trend, a lightly explored structure located about 250m east of the main
Tomorrow trend, which is the most advanced prospect at Tandarra.
The diamond drilling results at the Lawry prospect have shown that the Reynolds trend is also well mineralised
and extends the known strike extent of the Lawry prospect some 140m to the south and justifies an infill drilling
programme next field season.
Managing Director, James Gurry said: “The continued high grade, and multiple gold intersections at both shallow
and deeper depths on the Lawry prospect continues to show the high prospectivity of the Tandarra Gold Project
JV. The drilling confirms that there are now multiple zones of gold mineralisation extending well into the fresh rock.
This confirms the gold distribution may be similar to that mined at the historic Bendigo Goldfield where 22 million
ounces of gold was produced”.

RECAPITALISATION PROGRESS UPDATE
Mr Gurry commented that "It is pleasing to see the Company making strong on ground progress reporting results
from Tandarra Gold Project JV which is no doubt one of Navarre’s most highly valued assets. We are indebted to
our early-stage backers in the convertible notes, who include current shareholders and new investors, who have
enabled Navarre to maintain its 49% share of this highly prospective project”.
The Company is expected to lodge its outstanding audited financial reports within days which, subject to ASX
approvals, should enable the Company to launch the second stage recapitalisation. As previously outlined, it is
intended the Company will undertake the second step in its recapitalisation by way of a new equity issue
immediately prior to the resumption of trading of its shares. This is subject to various approvals including from the
ASX and shareholders at a general meeting. The equity issue is likely to prioritise current shareholders and the
investors in the recent convertible note offer, with the use of funds covering exploration works and working capital.
The Company will likely in parallel seek shareholder approval to consolidate its existing issued share capital.
THE HIGH GRADE TANDARRA GOLD PROJECT JV
The Tandarra Gold Project is a joint venture between Navarre (49%) and Catalyst Metals Limited (Catalyst)
(ASX:CYL) (51%) and is centred on Retention Licence RL006660 situated along the Whitelaw Gold Corridor, which
is considered to be a major structural control of gold mineralisation north of Bendigo. Catalyst manages the
Retention Licence on behalf of the joint venture which extends for 13 kilometres along the Whitelaw and Tandarra
Faults north of Bendigo. The project is located 50 kilometres northwest of Agnico Eagle’s world-class Fosterville
Gold Mine, and 40 kilometres north of the 22-million-ounce Bendigo Goldfield (Figure 2). The project contains
three main prospects: Tomorrow, Macnaughtan and Lawry.

BACKGROUND TO THE CURRENT PROGRAM - LAWRY PROSPECT
Diamond drillholes TND013 – TND018 have been completed at the Lawry gold prospect at Tandarra with the
objective of extending zones of gold mineralisation identified by previous air core drilling and diamond drill hole
TND007 which was reported by Catalyst on 17 May 20222, and intersected an 8m zone of mineralised quartz
breccia within a massive shale unit from 69m, including:
12.9m @ 33.1g/t Au from 66.4m, including 0.5m @ 831g/t
1.0m @ 2.5g/t Au from 153.5m
1.0m @ 1.2g/t Au from 173.4m
1.0m @ 1.3g/t Au from 226.6m
As interpreted from the Tomorrow prospect, gold mineralisation is associated with discordant reverse faulting and
the interaction with anticlinal and synclinal folds which provide complex geometries. The hole TND013 on section
5,970,990mN demonstrates the footwall facing of bedding which aligns with the interpretation of significant
reverse movement along the fault.
There are examples of anomalous/significant gold grades being present at several locations within the Tandarra
Gold Project:
On the reverse fault
In anticlinal hinges
In/adjacent to synclinal hinges
On concordant slip planes (generally laminated in nature)
The significant interval of TND016 is located at the intersection of the reverse fault and the synclinal axis. Holes
TND015 and TND018 also demonstrate anomalism in the synclinal position. This structural niche is emerging as
a highly prospective target given the experience at the Four Eagles Gold Project to the north and that at the
Fosterville Mine to the east of Bendigo.
The Lawry prospect lies in grazing paddocks which are subject to seasonal drilling campaigns due to the nature
of the agricultural activity.
Full location data on the diamond drill hole is shown in Appendix 1, and a Summary of Sampling Techniques and
Reporting of Exploration Results according to the JORC Code 2012 Edition are also tabulated. Maximum gold
values, which were carried out by aqua regia and ICPMS on 25-gram samples, are tabulated in Appendix 1 for the
drill holes.

About Navarre Minerals Limited
Navarre Minerals Limited (ASX: NML, in suspension) is a Victorian based mineral exploration company with a
portfolio of advanced exploration projects across the state and is currently in a process of recompliance and
recapitalisation.
Navarre’s flagship asset is the Stawell Corridor Gold Project, in an area that hosts the Stawell (~six million ounce)
and Ararat (~one million ounce) goldfields. Within this Project, Navarre reported its maiden inferred Mineral
Resource (304koz)4 and additional Exploration Target (280-420koz) on the margins of the Irvine basalt dome (the
Resolution and Adventure deposits)5. To the south of Irvine also lies the high-grade gold discovery Langi Logan
on a 14.5 kilometre long basalt dome. The Morning Bill (Glenlyle) Prospect is a potential epithermal gold-silver
system above a deeper porphyry target in the emerging Stavely Arc volcanics, just south of the Stawell Corridor.
In joint venture with operator Catalyst, Navarre owns at 49% interest in the high-grade Tandarra Gold Project, 50
kilometres northwest of Agnico Gold’s world-class Fosterville Gold Mine, and 40 kilometres north of the 22-millionounce Bendigo Goldfield.
At the St Arnaud Gold Project, Navarre previously identified gold mineralisation beneath and adjacent to the
historical mine workings.
At the Jubilee Gold Project, 25 kilometres southwest of the Ballarat Gold Mine, the Company is targeting extensions
and repetitions of the historically mined transverse gold-bearing quartz reef. These structures are similar to
Fosterville’s high-grade Swan-Eagle system.
Navarre’s board of directors has transitioned to a new profile comprising:

JORC Code, 2012 Edition
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria
Sampling techniques
Explanation
Drilling techniques
Drill sample recovery
Logging
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
All basement material collected in commercially available diamond core trays. The cover
alluvium is not the subject of resource development and is not sampled.
Diamond core is cleaned and marked metre-by-metre
The geologist determines which intervals are to be sampled in consultation with criteria
such as quartz vein development, sulphide occurrence, and visible gold occurrence.
Samples are selected to reflect lithological, structural, and mineralisation boundaries and
reflect drill core intervals ranging from 0.2m to 1.0m. The selected intervals for sampling
are cut with a diamond-impregnated saw, with half being collected in a calico bag for
laboratory submission, the remaining half being transferred back to the source core tray
for storage.
Holes are initiated using 120mm blade drilling, with cuttings lifted by drilling mud to the
base of cover. PVC casing is installed to preserve the collar condition for subsequent
drilling.
Mud drilled precollars are achieved by a diamond drill rig.
At end-of-precollar depth, the rod string is removed from the hole and steel HWT or PQ
casing is installed and shoed into the base-of-hole.
HQ triple tube barrel and HQ drill rods are installed to precollar depth. Beyond this depth
the hole is progressed to final depth with DDH drilling techniques, generally employing
three-metre barrel and rods. Where ground conditions are poor, 1.5-metre rods are
employed to alleviate core loss at tube extraction.
Core runs are documented by the driller, and recoveries measured by the geologist to
ensure recovery is known and strategies implemented to maximise recovery (target being
above 90%).
Drillers are under instruction to monitor recovery and rectify core loss through adjusting
drill rig operation.
All diamond core is drilled using triple tube equipment to assist in delivering acceptable
core recovery.
Diamond core is geologically logged for lithology, alteration, quartz veining and to a
standard acceptable for subsequent interpretation for use in estimation.
Geological logging aspects are qualitative with exception of quartz vein content which is
estimated semi-quantitatively
Drill core structural measurements are logged prior to cutting/sampling.
Drill core orientations are performed on each core run, and where successful are applied
to structural measurements to provide known orientations of structures. Where
orientations are not successful, the S1 cleavage is exploited as a proxy to orientation; in
which case the database is flagged as such.
Lab submission samples collected as described above. No quarter coring is routinely
required.
Samples dispatched to commercial assay laboratory (Catalyst have used ALS Pty Ltd
exclusively); samples crushed, dried, and pulverised in entirety, with 25g – 30g aliquots
selected for analysis (laboratory repeat splits historically demonstrate acceptable
reproducibility and hence accuracy for this style of mineralisation).

Gold assay determined by ICPMS via aqua regia digestion (ALS code Au-OG43).
Experience has shown this method to be applicable for fine grained gold population of the
mineralisation due to the completion of digestion. There is a technical constraint in that
coarse-grained gold may not completely enter solution resulting in conservative assay.
Laboratory and client certified reference materials (3 x standards) are implemented every
20th sample. Performances outside 2 standard deviations as per specification are
reviewed with the laboratory, and 3 standard deviations default to a re-assay in every
instance.
Data management procedures are in place. Data management has been outsourced to a
specialist provider.
There has been no verification of significant intersections by independent nor alternative
company personnel.
Drillhole sampling and geological data logged electronically and imported electronically
into the master database.
There have been no adjustments to data as provided by the commercial assay laboratory.
All drillhole location coordinates are measured using differential GPS to MGA94 Zone 55
Collar locations to within an estimated precision of 10mm horizontally and 20mm vertically.
All drillholes are downhole surveyed. Drilling orientation established prior to collaring with
clinometer and compass.
Diamond drillholes drilled at a nominal section spacings of between 50 metres and 100
metres. The diamond drillholes were targeted to intersect and twin prospective structural
positions as seen in previous air core and diamond drillholes. For the purpose of the
reporting of exploration results, assays are aggregated to reflect continuously sampled
zones of significant anomalism for gold.
Drillhole sections are aligned approximately 90 degrees from the strike of mineralisation.
The drillholes were inclined between 60 and 75 degrees and directed both to the east and
to the west to test multiple targets within the vicinity of the Reynold anticline.
All samples are controlled by the responsible geologist and stored in a secured facility
prior to despatch to the laboratory.
Samples are transported directly to laboratory by a commercial transportation contractor
with security in place.
Sample number receipt information from laboratory cross-referenced and rationalised
against sample number dispatch information.
Audits or reviews
16
No processes or data used in developing the release of exploration results have been
subject to audit or review by non-company personnel or contractors to reduce costs and
timelines for reporting. Catalyst Metals Limited currently reserve this process for release
of Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve statements.

SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
Criteria
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status
Exploration done by
other parties
Geology
Explanation
The Tandarra Gold Project is within RL006660 in the vicinity of Dingee, Victoria, 51%
owned by Kite Operations Pty Ltd (a 100% owned subsidiary of Catalyst Metals Ltd) and
49% owned by Navarre Minerals Ltd
RL006660 is valid and due for expiry on 02/11/2028
Exploration activities were confined to free-hold farmland.
None in the area drilled
Gold-arsenic bearing narrow veins in Ordovician sediments in the vicinity of a district-scale
anticlines.
Deposits assessed as being northern extension of Bendigo Goldfield, with potential for
post-mineralisation influence/redistribution by proximal granitic intrusion.
There is potential for some supergene gold enrichment in paleo-weathering profile.

Appendix 1, Table 1b: Downhole intervals of resource, gold grade of intervals
No top-cutting applied to assay data
Zones of significance identified as those with assays in excess of 0.5g/t and internal
dilution of three consecutive metres or less.
Reported zones are continuous, with no sample or assay gaps.
The strike of mineralisation is demonstrated to be generally aligned north-south along
MGA94 grid.
The dip of mineralisation is expected to be both east-dipping and west-dipping as was the
case in the Bendigo Goldfield and elsewhere at Tandarra. Au lodes plunge gently to the
south and north. Major controlling shears in the project area are predominantly moderately
to steeply west-dipping.
Due to the complexity of slate belt gold mineralisation, the true width of mineralisation has
not been resolved. As such, significant mineralised intersections have been reported as
downhole intervals.
Figure 1 shows the long sections of drillhole intersections with mineralisation at Lawry
prospect
Table 1b shows all drillholes which demonstrated anomalism (defined as being >0.5g/t
Au). The holes drilled in the program that did not demonstrate anomalism were: TND014,
TND014A.
No other exploration results that have not previously been reported, are material to this
report
Infill and extension RC and/or diamond drilling to test the Lawry trend.
