Actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those statements are based. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward- looking statements and Navarre assumes no obligation to update such information. The contents of this presentation must not be photocopied, reproduced, disclosed or distributed to any other person without the prior written consent of Navarre. The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Exploration Potential is based on information compiled by Mr Wessley Edgar. Mr Edgar is an employee of Navarre Minerals Limited, is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and is a Competent Person under the definition of the 2012 JORC Code. The Exploration Potential described in this Presentation is conceptual in nature, and there is insufficient information to establish whether further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral
- Resource. Mr Edgar consents to the publication of this information in the form and content in which it appears.
The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Targets refers to targets that are conceptual in nature, where there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. The information on porphyry copper and gold exploration targets in this presentation are based on a conceptual range of targets as follows: Tonnage range: 300 million to >500 million tonnes Grade range: 0.3% Cu to 2.0% Cu & 0.2 g/t Au to 2 g/t Au Metal: 1Mt contained copper & >0.5 million ounces of gold

Recent seismic data show new copper & gold opportunities in western Victoria
Arcs form above subduction zones at plate boundaries (eg. Andes, Indonesia) Most arcs contain giant porphyry copper deposits Miga Arc only recognised as Andean-type margin in January 2013

Cu-Porphyry Exploration Targets1
- >500Mt tonnes
- 0.3 – 2 % copper
- 0.2 – 2 g/t gold
Porphyry copper deposits are large, low-grade, bulk-mined deposits Largest are 1.5 – 3 billion tonnes @ 0.7-2% copper Usually associated with gold and/or molybdenum
1 Refer to slide 2 – Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature, where there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Western Victoria Copper Project - Miga Arc
Under-explored volcanic province containing large porphyry Cu-Au targets
130 kms of under-explored Pacific rim style volcanic belt with no deep drill holes Near established infrastructure (power, port, rail, highways, workforce & processing facility) Porphyry-style copper mineralisation confirmed by drilling Sole diamond hole at Lexington intersects primary copper up to 0.6% and Mo up to 800ppm Navarre activities completed:
26 drill holes for 2,200m at Eclipse Geophysics – aeromagnetics, EM & IP surveys at Eclipse Soils geochemistry and PIMA studies at Eclipse Reconnaissance mapping, rock chip & soils at Lexington 50 targets developed for follow-up

Eclipse prospect
Porphyry copper-gold system
Scale potential –large geophysical feature co-incident with anomalous base metal geochemistry Previous shallow high-grade intercepts include:*
15m @ 0.7% Cu, 1.9% Zn, 0.8g Au/t (RC92GM52) 13m @ 0.7% Cu, 0.2g Au/t, inc. 2m @ 2.2% Cu
(RC92GM55)
2.0m @ 3.0% Cu, 2.0g Au/t (RC93GM65)
>276 m of zinc + gold + pyrite hydrothermal alteration in DD10BR001 indicates proximity to porphyry core PIMA analysis of existing air-core drill chips and diamond core indicates proximity to potential higher-grade porphyry core

Our view
* Geological Survey of Victoria
Miga Arc provides an exceptional opportunity for mineral discovery:
Newly recognised continental margin arc setting like South America’s Andes, host to the world’s largest known copper porphyry systems Emerging Cu-Au porphyry province Potential for discovery of giant deposits Independent Navarre and GSV* studies (inc. rock/ alteration) suggest proximity to Cu mineral deposits Active exploration program underway with drilling scheduled for Q1 2014 $1.55M cash (30 September 2013) Considering JV & other transaction opportunities
