CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

It  is  my  pleasure  to  report  on  your  company’s  progress  for  the  2012  financial  year,  our  first  full  year  listed  on  the 
Australian  Securities  Exchange.    We  have  experienced  a  year  of  significant  growth  by  applying  innovative  mineral 
exploration techniques to advance our flagship Bendigo North group of gold projects, as well as progressing our Kingston 
and Black Range projects in Victoria, Australia.  We have worked a greenfields site from an area of flat farmland north of 
Bendigo and transformed it into one of the most  exciting gold projects in Australia, just  40 kilometres from one of the 
largest goldfields ever discovered (Figure 1). 

One of the golden rules of mining exploration is that the best place to find gold is in the shadow of the headframe of an 
existing gold mine.  In 2008 we acquired the Tandarra prospect at Bendigo North and I think you will agree that we have 
taken giant strides towards uncovering a viable gold project.  We are not there yet and have much work to do, but we 
have assembled a first-class team of exploration professionals with many decades of experience in the subtleties of the 
Victorian goldfields.  We were therefore delighted to announce in early September that your company had secured 100% 
ownership of Tandarra through a royalty deal with Crocodile Gold Corp., our major shareholder, which sees Crocodile’s 
right  to  earn  a  majority  interest  in  Tandarra  converted  to  a  2%  net  smelter  royalty  over  future  gold  production  at 
Tandarra.  Your company now has full control of Tandarra’s future, which is a very significant milestone, giving us greater 
flexibility in funding the exploration, evaluation and development of this exciting prospect. 

Over the  past year, we drilled over 20,000  metres of diamond, reverse circulation and air-core holes at  Tandarra.  The 
drilling followed a geophysics program which gave us the first inkling that we were sitting on a project which is a potential 
analogue to the 22 million ounce Bendigo Goldfield.  Our drilling 
has  produced  a  significant  number  of  high  grade  gold 
intersections from the quartz reef systems, which lie as close as 
20 metres below the topsoil at Tandarra.  Not all drilling has been 
successful  in  delivering  high  grade  gold  intercepts  due  to  the 
sporadic distribution of nuggety gold within the quartz reefs.  The 
nuggety gold is, of course, analogous with the gold mineralisation 
in the Bendigo Goldfield. 

Over the course of next year, we will focus our drilling efforts on 
scoping  several  of  the  shallow  reef  systems.    This  work  will 
require  more  funding,  but  it  will  be  money  well  spent.    The 
majority  of  the  funds  raised  under  the  company’s  2012  Share 
Purchase Plan will be directed to this work at Tandarra. 

Your  company  is  committed  to  the  full  evaluation  of  Tandarra.  
We are chasing a significant  prize and will make sure that every 
effort  is  undertaken  in  our  investigation  and  exploration  of  this 
potentially valuable gold project. 

If we are successful and prove the economic viability of a mining 
project,  we  have  the  skills  and  people  to  take  Tandarra  to  the 
next  step.    In  developing  a  project,  Navarre  is  committed  to 
working  in  harmony  with  the  local  communities  who  are  our 
hosts.   We are strongly  committed to  managing our exploration 
programs  to  cause  minimal  disruption  to  the  local  environment 
and to the lives of our neighbours, and we believe we have done 
this successfully with our programs to date. 

There  are  a  few  important  people  to  thank,  especially  our 
focussed and committed workforce, led by our Managing Director Geoff McDermott.  We recently appointed Wess Edgar 
as  our  Exploration  Manager.    We  are  fortunate  to  have  Wess  on  board  as  he  has  driven  the  exploration  effort  with 
another Victorian gold miner, Castlemaine Goldfields, over recent years.  Wess has extensive quartz reef experience with 
near surface exploration on the Castlemaine goldfields and the deep underground Ballarat gold mine, where he was one 
of the team that restarted this successful operation.  I would also like to thank my fellow board members, John Dorward 
and  Colin  Naylor  for  their  commitment  and  our  company  secretary  Jane  Nosworthy.    They  are  a  small  team  and  they 
share  my excitement  about  Tandarra and our other projects at Kingston and Black Range, which  Geoff describes in  his 
report.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT (cont.) 

I would also like to thank the communities in which we are exploring for their support.  In particular, I would like to thank 
our farming neighbours at Tandarra and the people of the nearby town of Dingee  who have assisted us during our drill 
campaigns. 

Lastly, I would like to thank our shareholders for their loyal support during our formative first year, with particular thanks 
to those shareholders who have participated in our recent capital raisings (the 2011 Entitlement Issue and the 2012 Share 
Purchase  Plan).    I  also  thank  our  largest  shareholder,  Crocodile  Gold  Corp.,  for  help  and  encouragement  with  the 
construction of a bulk sampling plant at Stawell.  This plant will allow for the efficient treatment of bulk drill samples from 
Tandarra and potentially from our other projects. 

Navarre  has  made  enormous  progress  in  the  past  year  to  add  value  for  the  benefit  of  all  shareholders  and  this  has 
occurred in an environment where global governments continue to wrestle with their fiscal difficulties by printing more 
money  which  is  always  good  for  the  gold  price  outlook.    I  look  forward  to  seeing  many  of  you  at  our  annual  meeting 
where Geoff and the team will provide a detailed presentation on all our projects.  The notice of meeting will reach you 
shortly and I urge you to make the time available to attend.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 2012 

The  Tandarra  prospect,  part  of  the  Bendigo  North  group  of  gold  projects,  has  continued  to  be  the  major  focus  of  the 
Company’s activities over the past year.  An aggressive exploration program of geophysics and over 20,000 metres of air-
core, reverse circulation and diamond drilling on Tandarra has delivered good results for our shareholders.  Our vision to 
define a maiden mineral resource and to become a low-cost Victorian gold producer through exploration success is a step 
closer to reality. 

Much has been achieved over the course of the past year. 

Bendigo North Group of Gold Projects 

Tandarra prospect 

The Tandarra prospect is a recent greenfields gold discovery under shallow cover, 40 kilometres north of the 22 million 
ounce Bendigo Goldfield (Figure 2).  The Company believes that Tandarra is part of a potential new goldfield emerging in 
central Victoria with opportunities for open pit mining. 

Navarre’s prime focus during 2012 was the execution of a major program of drilling and geophysics at Tandarra, which is 
one of the largest greenfields gold  exploration projects in Victoria.   Since the successful July 2011 trial of  leading-edge 
geophysics  to  detect  potential  gold  bearing  quartz  reef  targets  under  cover,  the  Company  has  completed  67  line 
kilometres of CSAMT geophysics resulting in the detection of 29 quartz reef targets for follow-up drill testing.  To date, 14 
of these quartz reef targets have been confirmed by scout and limited infill air-core drilling to contain gold mineralisation.  

On  19  December  2011,  the  Company  commenced  reverse  circulation  (RC)  resource  evaluation  drilling  over  two  of  the 
shallowest and highest gold endowed lines of quartz reef intersected to date – namely, the Tomorrow and Macnaughtan 
lines.  This drilling, complemented with information from eight diamond holes, has outlined near surface high-grade gold 
mineralisation  contained  within  an  expansive  envelope  of  gold-bearing  quartz  stockwork  veining.    RC  drilling,  which  is 
more  advanced  on  the  Tomorrow  line  of  reef,  has  now  delivered  significant  results  indicating  shallow  and  potentially 
economic gold mineralisation over a strike length of 850 metres from within a 2.5km zone previously established by air-
core drilling.   The Company believes the project  has potential for open cut mining and continues to work towards that 
objective.   Importantly, the Tomorrow line of reef, as well as the Macnaughtan line, remains open to both the north and 
south of the current RC drilling.  A selection of the best drill intersections, as announced previously include:

* All results are reported as down-hole lengths.  See ASX release dated 26 July 2012 for complete table of results. 

The  Bendigo  North  tenements  cover  about  18  kilometres  of  the  prospective  regional  Whitelaw  Fault  and  to  date  the 
Company has only partially tested about 3 kilometres of the strike length. 

Preliminary  3D  modelling  of  the  Tandarra  geology  and  mineralisation  is  helping  determine  the  structure  of  the  gold 
bearing quartz mineralisation and also the mineralised trends on the Macnaughtan and Tomorrow lines that have been 
missed by recent drilling and offer compelling targets for follow-up testing.  

As announced to the ASX on 26 July 2012, the Company acquired a bulk sample treatment plant (Plant) for the purpose of 
testing larger samples from the drill programs for contained gold at Tandarra.  The Plant has been dismantled and will be 
re-assembled  on  site  at  the  Stawell  Gold  Mine,  which  is  located  near  Stawell  in  western  Victoria.    The  Plant  will  be 
operated by Navarre personnel, but  Stawell Gold Mines’ personnel  will be made available to provide technical support 
and maintenance services for the Plant, on a cost recovery basis.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 2012 (cont.) 

On 5 September 2012, the Company announced an agreement with Crocodile Gold Corp., Navarre’s largest shareholder 
and owner of the Stawell Gold Mine, to exchange Crocodile’s right to earn a majority interest  in Tandarra for a 2% net 
smelter royalty over future gold production.  The Company also has the right to buy back 1% of the net smelter royalty for 
$2  million  within  four  years,  which  would  reduce  the  royalty  to  1%.    This  deal  with  Crocodile  ensures  that  Navarre’s 
shareholders enjoy the benefits of full ownership of the Tandarra prospect.  Formal documentation of the agreement is 
expected to be completed in the coming months. 

The outlook for the Bendigo North group of gold projects is a continued effort to scope, delineate and develop the gold 
bearing quartz reefs discovered at Tandarra with the aim of delivering a maiden mineral resource.  Drilling at Tandarra is 
scheduled to recommence in the fourth quarter of 2012. 

Raydarra and Sebastian Gold Projects 

On 20 February 2012, Navarre and Castlemaine Goldfields Limited (ASX Code: CGT) announced two farm-in agreements 
covering the Raydarra and Sebastian Gold Projects, located between Tandarra and Bendigo (Figure 2).  Under the terms of 
the deal, Navarre may earn up to a 75% interest in the Projects.  These farm-in deals fit Navarre’s strategy of increasing 
the Company’s land position  along the prospective regional Whitelaw Fault which is believed to be  a  major  control on 
gold accumulations in the Bendigo Goldfield. 

The  Company  has  undertaken  a  similar  exploration  approach  to  these  properties  as  proved  successful  at  defining 
mineralised quartz reefs at Tandarra.  Several potential gold bearing quartz reef targets have been identified for follow-up 
air-core drill testing in the fourth quarter of 2012. 

Landsborough Fault Gold Project (Kingston & Glendhu) 

The  Landsborough  Fault  is  believed  to  be  the  major  control  on  gold  mineralisation  in  western  Victoria.    Navarre  has  a 
dominant  land  position  along  the  Landsborough  Fault,  a  parallel  fault 
system to the nearby Stawell Fault which  is considered to be  one of  the 
regional  controlling  structures  for  over  6  million  ounces  of  historic  gold 
production from the Stawell and Ararat Goldfields (Figure 2). 

During  the  year  Navarre  completed  4,200 
line  kilometre  airborne 
magnetic survey, a  trial program of CSAMT geophysics which  detected a 
300m wide resistive anomaly beneath the historic Kingston workings and 
a  451  metre  diamond  drill  program  in  3  holes  returning  a  best  result  of 
16.9m  at  5.5g  of  gold  per  tonne  from  a  depth  of  65.7m  down-hole 
including 3.1m at 29.5g Au/t (ASX release 24 January 2012). 

In addition to follow-up of the high-grade intercepts and CSAMT targets, 
the  Company  has  identified  possible  repetitions  of  the  Kingston  style  of 
mineralisation  for  reconnaissance  mapping  and  sampling  prior  to  drill 
testing. 

Figure 2: Location of Navarre's mineral projects, 
interpreted major mineral corridors, exposure of 
basement rocks and extent of cover rock sequences 

Exploration at Kingston is at an early stage; however, the project is close 
to  the  operating  Stawell  Gold  Mine  which  is  owned  by  our  largest 
shareholder, Crocodile Gold Corp.   

Black Range Base Metals Project 

The Black Range Project incorporates a former Rio Tinto base metals and gold exploration prospect in the Grampians  – 
Stavely  region  of  western  Victoria  (Figure  2).    The  project  area  contains  about  60  strike  kilometres  of  Cambrian  age 
volcanics  that  show  geological  similarities  to  the  Mount  Read  Volcanics  of  northwest  Tasmania,  which  are  host  to  a 
number of volcanic massive sulphide deposits such as Rosebery, Hellyer and Que River and the large Mt Lyell copper-gold 
deposit. 

A report reviewing the geology and exploration conducted on the Black Range Project has been received from the Centre 
of Excellence in Ore Deposits at the University of Tasmania.  The report, which synthesizes previous exploration data, will 
be used to identify new exploration targets.   The  Company has commenced planning  for a  soil  sampling program  over 
epithermal and porphyry copper style targets.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 2012 (cont.) 

Share Purchase Plan 2012 

On 10 September 2012, the Company announced a Share Purchase Plan  (SPP) offer to shareholders to  raise up to $2.5 
million.  The SPP allows eligible shareholders to subscribe for up to $15,000 worth of new shares in the Company at an 
issue price of $0.15 each.  Proceeds from the SPP will be applied to advancing the exploration effort on the Company’s 
Bendigo North, Kingston and Black Range projects, and to meet ongoing working capital requirements.  The SPP opened 
on 11 September 2012 and is due to close on 5 October 2012. 

In  conjunction  with  the  SPP,  the  Company  announced  the  proposed  issue  of  bonus  options  to  shareholders  who 
participate  in  the  SPP  on  the  basis  of  one  bonus  option  for  every  two  new  shares  subscribed  for  under  the  SPP.    The 
Company intends to issue a disclosure document for the issue of the bonus options, containing full terms and conditions 
of the bonus options, within the next 2 months. 

Conclusion 

In  a  little  over  a  year  since  our  initial  discovery  hole,  Tandarra  has  demonstrated  the  potential  for  an  exciting  gold 
discovery  at  a  shallow  depth  on  our  Bendigo  North  property.    The  successful  completion  of  an  aggressive  exploration 
campaign during the 2011-2012 field season has resulted in the discovery of significant near surface gold mineralisation at 
Tandarra.  Resource evaluation drilling on two parallel lines of gold-bearing quartz reefs, which remain open to the north 
and south, underlines the potential for this project to deliver the Company a maiden mineral resource.  Definition of the 
extent of these reefs will require further drill testing with the program able to be commenced in the second half of 2012.  
The majority of the funds raised under the Company’s SPP will be directed to this program. 

The coming year holds great promise for our shareholders and we look forward to keeping you informed through regular 
market updates as our exploration programs progress.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Environment, Health and Safety 

The Group conducts exploration activities in Victoria.  No mining activity has been conducted by the Group on its 
exploration licences. 

The Group’s exploration operations are subject to environmental and health and safety regulations under the various 
laws of Victoria and the Commonwealth. 

While exploration activities to date have had a low level of environmental impact, the Group has adopted a best practice 
approach in satisfaction of the regulations of relevant government authorities. 

Exploration Licences  

During the year the Group maintained an active exploration program with the objective of identifying economic mineral 
deposits.  Exploration programs were undertaken at the Black Range, Kingston and Bendigo North projects located in 
Victoria. 

Exploration expenditure was $3,795,946 for the FY 2011 – 2012 reflecting an aggressive program of work to progress the 
Bendigo North Tandarra prospect and also the Kingston and Black Range Projects. Much has been achieved over the 
course of the past year and is summarised below:

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (cont.) 

Bendigo North Gold Project (Tandarra prospect)  

Navarre’s prime focus during 2012 was the execution of a major program of drilling and geophysics at Tandarra involving 
67  line  kilometres  of  CSAMT  geophysics  and  the  completion  of  over  20,000  metres  of  drilling  in  8  diamond  holes,  100 
reverse circulation (RC) holes and 126 scout air-core holes.  Geophysics detected 29 quartz reef targets for follow-up drill 
testing, of which 14 were confirmed by drilling to contain gold mineralisation.  

RC resource evaluation drilling was undertaken over the Tomorrow and Macnaughtan lines of reef, two of the shallowest 
and highest gold endowed lines of quartz reef identified.  The drilling successfully outlined near surface high-grade gold 
mineralisation contained within an expansive envelope of gold-bearing quartz stockwork veining.  Potentially  economic 
gold  mineralisation  was  outlined  on  the  Tomorrow  Line  over  a  strike  length  of  850  metres  from  within  a  2.5km  zone 
previously established by air-core drilling.  The Company is working towards demonstrating the economic potential of an 
open pit mine at this location.  Importantly, the Tomorrow line of reef, as well as the Macnaughtan line, remains open to 
both the north and south of the completed RC drilling.   

Outstanding gold drill intersections reported from Tandarra during the year included:

* All results are reported as down-hole lengths.  See ASX release dated 26 July 2012 for complete table of results. 

Preliminary 3D models of the Tandarra geology and mineralisation have helped determine the structure and geometry of 
the gold bearing quartz mineralisation and also the mineralised trends for follow-up drill evaluation during the 2012/2013 
field season.  

Drilling at Tandarra is scheduled to recommence in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Raydarra and Sebastian Gold Projects 

On 20 February 2012 Navarre and Castlemaine Goldfields Limited (ASX Code: CGT) announced two farm-in agreements 
covering the Raydarra and Sebastian Gold Projects, located between Tandarra and Bendigo.  Under the terms of the deal, 
Navarre  may  earn  up  to  a  75%  interest  in  the  Projects.    These  farm-in  deals  fit  Navarre’s  strategy  of  increasing  the 
Company’s land position along the prospective regional Whitelaw Fault which is believed to be  a major control on gold 
accumulations in the Bendigo Goldfield and at Tandarra. 

c. 

Landsborough Fault Gold Project (Kingston & Glendhu) 

At  Kingston  the  Company  completed  a  4,200  line  kilometre  airborne  magnetic  survey,  a  trial  program  of  CSAMT 
geophysics  which  detected  a  300m  wide  resistive  anomaly  beneath  the  historic  Kingston  workings  and  a  451  metre 
diamond drill program in 3 holes returning a best result of 16.9m at 5.5g of gold per tonne from a depth of 65.7m down-
hole including 3.1m at 29.5g Au/t (ASX release 24 January 2012). 

In addition to follow-up of the high-grade intercepts and CSAMT targets, the Company has identified possible repetitions 
of the Kingston style of mineralisation for reconnaissance mapping and sampling prior to drill testing. 

In  April  2012,  the  Company  was  granted  exploration  licence  EL  5380  (Glendhu),  covering  185  square  kilometres  of  the 
Landsborough Fault adjoining the southern end of the Kingston Gold Project.  The Landsborough Fault is believed to be a 
major control on gold mineralisation and a parallel fault system to the nearby Stawell Fault which is considered to be the 
controlling structure for over 6 million ounces of historic gold production from the Stawell and Ararat Goldfields.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (cont.) 

Black Range Base Metals Project 

A review of the geology and exploration conducted on the Black Range Project was undertaken on behalf of the Company 
by the Centre of Excellence in Ore Deposits at the University of Tasmania.  A report, which synthesizes previous 
exploration data was received and will be used to identify new exploration targets.   

Corporate 

In August 2011, Navarre raised $3,210,198 (before transaction costs of $227,643) from issuing 13,957,381 shares in a fully 
underwritten 1 for 3 non–renounceable entitlement offer at $0.23 per share.  The funds have been used to accelerate the 
Group’s exploration program at its Bendigo North Project. 

Results for the year  

The net loss for the financial year, after provision for income tax, was $843,061 (2011: loss after tax of $945,122). 

Review of Financial Condition 

At balance date the Group held cash and cash equivalents of $1,505,134.  During the year the Group decreased the cash 
balance by $1,195,869 following net capital raisings of $2,977,737 and interest received of $197,732 which was used to 
meet exploration and capital cash outflows of $3,775,831 and corporate costs of $595,507.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) 

The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2012 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Company, in 
accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations. 

The  information  provided  in  this  Remuneration  Report  has  been  audited  as  required  by  Section  308(3C)  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001.  This Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report. 

The  Remuneration  Report  details  the  remuneration  arrangements  for  Key  Management  Personnel  (“KMP”),  who  are 
defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the 
Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.

13.2  Board oversight of remuneration 

The policy for determining the nature and amount  of remuneration for  directors and  executives  is set by the Board of 
Directors  as  a  whole.    The  Board  established  a  Remuneration  and  Nomination  (R&N)  Committee  to  provide  the  Board 
with a  regular, structured opportunity to focus on remuneration and nomination issues.  All directors of the Company, 
including  the  Managing  Director,  are  members  of  the  R&N  Committee.    Any  potential  for,  or  perception  of,  conflict  of 
interest  resulting  from  the  Managing  Director’s  membership  of  the  R&N  Committee  is  addressed  by  ensuring  that  the 
Managing  Director  withdraws  from  committee  meetings  during  any  discussion  of  his  remuneration  arrangements  or 
performance, and takes no part in the discussion or decision-making process in relation to such matters. 

The  Board  may obtain professional advice when appropriate to  ensure that the  Company attracts and retains talented 
and  motivated  directors  and  employees  who  can  enhance  Company  performance  through  their  contributions  and 
leadership. 

13.3  Non-executive director remuneration arrangements 

The  Board  seeks  to  set  non-executive  director  remuneration  at  a  level  that  provides  the  Company  with  the  ability  to 
attract and retain directors of high calibre, at a cost acceptable to shareholders. 

The  amount  of  aggregate  remuneration  approved  by  shareholders  and  the  fee  structure  for  non-executive  directors  is 
reviewed annually by the Board against fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies. 

The Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors 
must  be  determined  from  time  to  time  by  members  in  a  general  meeting.    An  amount  not  exceeding  the  amount 
determined  is  then  divided  between  the  directors  as  agreed.    The  maximum  aggregate  annual  remuneration  for  non-
executive directors is currently set at $300,000 per annum.  Any increase in this amount will require shareholder approval 
at a general meeting.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (cont.) 

13.3  Non-executive director remuneration arrangements (cont.) 

Non-executive  directors are remunerated  at  marketplace  levels  by way of  fixed  fees, in the form of cash and  statutory 
superannuation  contributions,  and  options  issued  through  the  Navarre  Minerals  Limited  Option  Plan  (“NMLOP”).    The 
Chairman, Mr Wilson, receives a base fee of $40,000 per annum (excluding statutory superannuation) and the other non-
executive directors receive $30,000 per annum (excluding statutory superannuation).   

In addition, the directors are entitled to be paid all travelling and other expenses they incur in attending to the Company’s 
affairs,  including  attending  and  returning  from  general  meetings  of  the  Company  or  meetings  of  the  Board  or  of 
committees  of  the  Board.    No  additional  remuneration  is  paid  to  directors  for  service  on  board  committees  or  on  the 
board of the wholly owned subsidiary. 

The non-executive directors have no leave entitlements and do not receive any retirement benefits, other than statutory 
superannuation  and  salary  sacrifice  superannuation  (if  directors  wish  to  exercise  their  discretion  to  make  additional 
superannuation contributions by way of salary sacrifice). 

The  remuneration  of  the  Company’s  non-executive  directors  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2012  and  30  June  2011  is 
detailed in Table 1 and Table 2 of this Remuneration Report. 

13.4  Executive remuneration arrangements 

The  Company  aims  to  reward  executives  with  a  level  and  mix  of  remuneration  commensurate  with  their  position  and 
responsibilities within the Company and so as to: 

 

 

 

ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards; 

reward executives for exceptional individual performance; and 

align the interests of executives with those of shareholders. 

Executive remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and, where appropriate, variable (at risk) remuneration. 

Fixed remuneration 

The  base  salaries  of  the  Managing  Director  and  other  executives  are  fixed.    Fixed  remuneration  is  set  at  a  market 
competitive  level,  taking  into  account  an  individual’s  responsibilities,  performance,  qualifications  and  experience,  and 
current  market  conditions  in  the  mining  industry.    Base  salaries  are  reviewed  annually,  but  executive  contracts  do  not 
guarantee any increases in fixed remuneration. 

Executives  receive  statutory  superannuation  from  the  Company  and  may,  in  their  discretion,  make  additional 
superannuation contributions by way of salary sacrifice. 

The fixed component of executives’ remuneration is detailed in Table 1 and Table 2 of this Report. 

Variable/at risk remuneration 

The  performance  of  executives  is  measured  against  criteria  agreed  annually  with  each  executive  and  is  based 
predominantly on the overall success of the Company in achieving its broader corporate goals.  Variable remuneration is 
linked to predetermined performance criteria. 

Short term incentives 

A  short  term  incentive  was  approved  by  the  Board  (excluding  the  Managing  Director)  for  the  Managing  Director  for 
calendar year 2011, structured as a  cash payment  of up to $50,000,  with the amount  paid to be determined based on 
achievement of certain key performance indicators (KPIs).  The KPIs comprised performance measures related to delivery 
of the drill program set out in the Company’s prospectus.  Following a review in March 2012 of the performance of the 
Managing  Director  against  these  KPIs,  the  Board  (excluding  the  Managing  Director)  determined  that  the  Managing 
Director  had  achieved  the  agreed  KPIs  and,  accordingly,  the  Board  (excluding  the  Managing  Director)  approved  a  cash 
payment of $50,000 to the Managing Director.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (cont.) 

13.4  Executive remuneration arrangements (cont.) 

A short term incentive has been approved by the Board (excluding the Managing Director) for the Managing Director for 
calendar year 2012, structured as a  cash payment  of up to $60,000,  with the amount  paid to be determined based on 
achievement of agreed KPIs.  The KPIs comprise performance measures in relation to: 

 

 

health and safety, because the Company regards the safety of its people as a major priority; and 

delivery of drill programs and exploration success, because these are key drivers of shareholder value. 

The Managing Director’s performance against these KPIs will be assessed by the R&N Committee (excluding the Managing 
Director) in January 2013. 

Long term incentives 

The  Company  considers  the  retention  of  high  calibre  staff  to  be  essential  to  the  growth  and  success  of  the  Company.  
Executives  are  eligible  to  participate  in  the  NMLOP,  which  is  used  to  provide  long  term  performance  and  retention 
incentives, as appropriate, in the form of the grant of share options over unissued shares in the Company. 

Long term performance and retention incentives were adopted for the Managing Director for calendar year 2011.  The 
Managing Director was eligible for the grant of up to 500,000 options, with the actual number of options granted to be 
determined based on achievement of certain KPIs.  The KPIs related to improvement in the Company’s share price relative 
to  the  listing  price  of  20  cents  per  share,  tested  on  the  basis  of  the  volume  weighted  average  price  of  the  Company’s 
shares in December 2011.  Following a review in March 2012 of the performance of the Managing Director against these 
KPIs,  the  Board  (excluding  the  Managing  Director)  determined  that  the  KPIs  had  been  met.    Accordingly,  the  Board 
(excluding  the  Managing  Director)  approved  the  grant  of  500,000  options  to  the  Managing  Director,  subject  to 
shareholder approval, which will be sought at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in 2012. 

Long  term  performance  and  retention  incentives  have  also  been  adopted  for  the  Managing  Director  for  calendar  year 
2012.    The  Managing  Director  is  eligible  for  the  grant  of  up  to  500,000  options  (250,000  as  a  long  term  performance 
incentive  and  250,000  as  a  long  term  retention  incentive).    The  actual  number  of  options  granted  will  be  determined 
based  on  achievement  of  certain  KPIs.    The  KPIs  relate  to  improvement  in  the  Company’s  share  price  during  the  2012 
calendar  year,  relative  to  the  prevailing  share  price  when  the  KPIs  were  set  by  the  Board  (excluding  the  Managing 
Director) in March 2012, tested on the basis of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares in December 
2012 (in the case of the 250,000 performance options) or the Company’s share price on 31 December 2012 (in the case of 
the  250,000  retention  options).    The  Managing  Director  will  be  eligible  to  receive  half  (125,000)  of  the  performance 
options if the VWAP of the Company’s shares in December 2012 is 30 cents or higher, and he will be eligible to receive the 
other half (125,000) if the VWAP is 35 cents or higher.  The Managing Director will be eligible to receive half (125,000) of 
the retention options if the Company’s share price on 31 December 2012 is 30 cents or higher, and he will be eligible to 
receive the other half (125,000) if the share price on 31 December 2012 is 35 cents or higher.  These target prices are 
higher  than  the  prevailing  share  price  of  the  Company  of  26  cents  per  share  when  the  KPIs  were  set,  and  therefore 
provide an incentive.  Shareholder approval for the grant of these options will be sought at the Company’s 2012 AGM.  If 
shareholder approval is obtained, the Managing Director’s performance against the KPIs applicable to these options will 
be assessed by the Board (excluding the Managing Director) in January 2013 and, if the KPIs have been met, the options 
will be granted shortly thereafter. 

During  the  financial  year,  other  executives  and  senior  employees  have  been  granted  options  which  have  time-based 
vesting conditions, therefore requiring them to remain employed with the Company through to the vesting date of the 
options.  

See  page  20  for  details  of  options  granted  to  the  Managing  Director  and  other  key  management  personnel  during  the 
financial year. 

The Company prohibits executives from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested share options.  The 
prohibition  includes  entering  into  contracts  to  hedge  their  exposure  to  options  awarded  as  part  of  their  remuneration 
package.

 

Managing Director 

-

- 

- 

Mr Geoff McDermott entered into an executive service agreement dated 10 December 2010 which contains the 
following major terms:- 

Term: From 31 March 2011 until either the Company or Mr McDermott terminates the agreement. 

Notice:  The  Company  may  terminate  the  agreement  at  any  time  by  giving  six  months’  notice  in  writing.    Mr 
McDermott may terminate the agreement at any time by giving six months’ written notice to the Company or on 
one month’s written notice to the Company if a ‘fundamental change’ to his employment occurs or the Company 
has  failed  to  remedy  a  notified  breach  of  its  obligations  under  the  agreement.    The  Company  may  immediately 
terminate the agreement by giving written notice if serious misconduct has occurred.  The Company may elect to 
pay Mr McDermott in lieu of part or all of any notice period. 

Base salary: From 1 April 2012, Mr McDermott’s total fixed remuneration is $245,936 per annum (plus statutory 
superannuation).  This is reviewed by the R&N Committee (excluding the Managing Director) at the completion of 
each twelve months of service.   

Short-term  incentive:  Mr  McDermott  is  eligible  to  receive  an  annual  short-term  incentive  payment  on  terms 
decided  by  the  Board  (excluding  the  Managing  Director).    For  calendar  year  2012,  the  maximum  short-term 
incentive payment that Mr McDermott is eligible to receive is $60,000. 

Long-term  incentive:  Subject  to  receiving  any  required  or  appropriate  shareholder  approval,  Mr  McDermott  is 
eligible  to  participate  in  the  Company’s  long-term  incentive  arrangements  (as  amended  or  replaced)  on  terms 
decided  by  the  Board.    For  calendar  year  2012,  the  maximum  number  of  options  that  may  be  granted  to  Mr 
McDermott by way of long-term incentives is 500,000, depending on the achievement of KPIs as approved by the 
Board. 

Termination payments: Mr McDermott is not entitled to a lump sum payment on termination of his employment 
by the Company, other than any amount paid to Mr McDermott in lieu of notice.  If Mr McDermott resigns within 
six months of a ‘fundamental change’, Mr McDermott is entitled to a lump sum payment equivalent to the  total 
fixed remuneration paid to Mr McDermott in the six months prior to his resignation.  

 

Other Executives 

All executives have standard employment agreements.  The Company may terminate the executive’s employment 
agreement by written notice (ranging from four weeks to three months’ notice) or providing payment in lieu of the 
notice period (based on the fixed component of the executive’s remuneration).  The Company may terminate the 
agreement  at  any  time  without  notice  if  serious  misconduct  has  occurred.    The  executive  may  terminate  the 
agreement by written notice to the Company (ranging from four weeks to three months’ notice).  On cessation of 
employment,  any  options  that  have  not  vested  will  be  forfeited  and  any  options  that  have  vested  must  be 
exercised within 90 days or will be forfeited.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

INTRODUCTION 

The  Board  and  management  are  committed  to  good  corporate  governance  and  recognise  the  eight  core  principles 
contained in the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 
amendments  (“ASX  Principles”).    The  Board  assesses  the  compliance  of  the  Company  with  the  ASX  Principles  and,  in 
accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3, reports the extent of the Company’s compliance with the ASX Principles. 

Additional  information  about  the  Company's  corporate  governance  practices  and  policies  is  set  out  on  the  Company's 
website at www.navarre.com.au. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURES 

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

Companies should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of board and management. 

Board Role and Responsibilities 

The  Board’s  primary  role  is  to  set  the  Company’s  values,  direction,  strategies  and  financial  objectives  and  to  ensure 
effective monitoring of corporate performance, capabilities and management of risk consistent with creating shareholder 
value  and  maintaining  effective  corporate  governance.    The  Board  is  also  responsible  for  the  appointment,  and  for 
monitoring the performance, of the Managing Director. 

The Board operates in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and has adopted a Board charter which outlines a 
framework for the Board’s operation, the matters reserved to the Board and the functions delegated to management.  
The charter is available on the Company’s website. 

Management Role and Responsibilities 

Responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company and the implementation of the corporate strategy 
and budgets approved by the Board is formally delegated by the Board to the Managing Director, who is supported by a 
small  team  of  executives.    The  performance  of  the  Managing  Director  is  reviewed  at  least  annually  and  includes 
agreement on key performance measures for the following year.  In March 2012, the Board assessed the performance of 
the Managing Director against his agreed key performance measures for 2011 and agreed his key performance measures 
for 2012, and the Chairman conducted a performance review with the Managing Director. 

Newly appointed executives receive formal employment contracts describing their terms of appointment, duties, rights 
and responsibilities.  The Managing Director conducts annual performance reviews for the executives reporting directly 
to him.  The Managing Director completed performance reviews for his direct reports in December 2011. 

Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value 

Companies should have a board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and 
duties. 

Board Composition and Expertise 

At the date of this report, the Board comprises a non-executive chairman, two non-executive directors and the Managing 
Director.    The  roles  of  chairperson  and  managing  director  are  not  exercised  by  the  same  individual.    A  profile  of  each 
director is set out in the Directors’ Report.  The Board aims to ensure that it has a mix of skills and capabilities among its 
members, including technical skills, business development experience and financial management experience.  The Board 
considers  that  the  directors  collectively  bring  the  range  of  skills,  knowledge  and  experience  necessary  to  direct  the 
Company.    The  size  and  composition  of  the  Board,  and  its  mix  of  skills  and  capabilities,  is  expected  to  change  as  the 
Company evolves.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Director Independence 

A director is regarded as independent if that director is independent of management and free of any business or other 
relationship  that  could  materially  interfere  with,  or  could  reasonably  be  perceived  to  materially  interfere  with,  the 
exercise  of  their  unfettered  and  independent  judgment.    When  determining  the  independent  status  of  a  director,  the 
Board has regard to the existence of any of the relationships listed in Box 2.1 of the ASX Principles. 

Mr Kevin Wilson and Mr John Dorward, are not regarded as independent under the guidelines in Principle 2, as each of 
them is, or is an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company.  Mr Dorward 
also  provides  consulting  services  to  the  Company  in  relation  to  business  development,  although  these  are  not  in 
themselves  considered  to  be  material.    Accordingly,  the  Company  does  not  meet  Recommendation  2.1  of  the  ASX 
Principles  (a  majority  of  the  board  should  be  independent  directors)  or  Recommendation  2.2  (the  chair  should  be  an 
independent director).  Despite this, the Board considers that its composition is appropriate for the size and scale of the 
Company and its activities, and that the Company benefits from Mr Wilson’s and Mr Dorward’s long-standing experience 
in the resources and finance industries.  Mr Wilson and Mr Dorward also consider that they bring quality, independent 
judgment  to  bear  on  all  relevant  issues  falling  within  the  scope  of  the  role  of  chairman  and  non-executive  director 
(respectively), notwithstanding their substantial interests in shares of the Company. 

As the Company evolves, the Board will consider the appointment of additional independent directors when appropriate.  

Remuneration and Nomination Committee 

The  Board  has  established  a  Remuneration  and  Nomination  (R&N)  Committee  to  provide  the  Board  with  a  regular, 
structured opportunity to focus on remuneration and nomination issues.  The role and responsibilities of the Committee 
are set out in the Committee’s Charter, which is available on the Company’s website.  The Committee is chaired by Mr 
Kevin Wilson.  Given the size of the Board, all members of the Board are members of the R&N Committee.  The Directors’ 
Report sets out the attendance of directors at meetings of the R&N Committee. 

Recommendations for nomination of new directors are considered by the R&N Committee and approved by the Board as 
a whole. 

Retirement and Re-election of Directors 

The  Company’s  Constitution  states  that  at  each  annual  general  meeting,  one  third  of  the  Company’s  non-executive 
directors  cease  to  hold  office.    Directors  who  retire  as  required  may  offer  themselves  for  re-election  by  shareholders.  
Any director appointed to fill a casual vacancy since the date of the previous annual general meeting must also submit 
themselves to shareholders for election at the next annual general meeting.   

Board Performance Evaluation 

In May 2012, the Board conducted the first assessment since the Company’s listing of the performance of the Board and 
its committees.  Directors completed an agreed questionnaire, the results of which were confidentially summarised and 
distributed,  and  were  then  discussed  at  a  meeting  of  the  R&N  Committee.    An  action  plan  to  address  areas  for 
development has been formulated.  The Board intends to use the same procedure for its next annual assessment of its 
performance, but will also include an assessment of the performance of individual directors. 

Professional Advice 

In accordance with the Board Charter, each director has the right to seek independent professional advice to assist them 
to carry out their duties as directors, at the expense of the Company, after consultation with the Chairman.   

All directors also have direct access to the management of the Company, including the Company Secretary.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Principle 3 – Promote ethical and responsible decision-making 

Companies should actively promote ethical and responsible decision-making. 

Code of Conduct 

The  Board  has  adopted  a  Code  of  Conduct  that  sets  the  standard  of  ethical  behaviour  required  of  the  Company’s 
directors and employees.  The Code of Conduct is posted on the Company’s website.  Failure to comply with the Code of 
Conduct may result in the Board requiring the resignation of any director or employee who breaches the Code.   

Diversity 

The  Board  has  also  adopted  a  Diversity  Policy,  which  is  available  on  the  Company’s  website.    This  policy  affirms  the 
Board’s commitment to workplace diversity for the Company (including gender diversity).  It includes requirements for 
the Board to establish measureable objectives for achieving gender diversity and for the Board to assess annually both 
the objectives and progress in achieving them. 

The Board reports that the Company’s workforce, although small, includes significant female participation at all levels.  
As at 30 June 2012, 45% of the Company’s employees (inclusive of permanent and casual staff) were women, including 
three of four direct reports to the Managing Director.   

The Company’s objective is to maintain a significant level of female participation in the Company’s workforce at all levels, 
with a particular emphasis on gender diversity in technical roles.  Given the size of the Company and the challenges of 
recruiting appropriately qualified staff in a regional area, the Board considers it unrealistic to commit to a specific level of 
female participation in the Company’s workforce on an ongoing basis.  However, the Board supports measures to attract 
women to the Company, including continuing to offer flexible work arrangements and setting out clear expectations of 
behaviours for employees that foster a supportive and inclusive work environment. 

There are no female members of the Board at the date of this report.   If a  vacancy arises or the Board is expanded in 
future,  the  Board  will  consider  a  diverse  range  of  candidates  who  will  be  assessed  on  merit  based  on  their  judgment, 
skills, experience with business and other organisations of a comparable size, the interplay of the candidate’s experience 
with the experience of other Board members and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the 
Board and its committees. 

Principle 4 – Safeguard integrity in financial reporting 

Companies should have a structure to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of their financial reporting. 

Audit Committee 

The  Board  has  an  Audit  Committee.    Its  role  and  responsibilities  are  set  out  in  its  charter,  which  is  posted  on  the 
Company’s  website.    The  Committee  is  chaired  by  Mr  Naylor,  who  is  an  independent  non-executive  director  with 
substantial accounting/financial experience.  The other committee member is Mr Dorward, a non-executive director with 
substantial finance and industry experience.  The qualifications of Mr Naylor  and Mr Dorward and their attendance at 
meetings are described in detail in the Directors’ Report.  The Audit Committee met five times during the year as stated 
in the Directors’ Report. 

The structure of the Audit Committee meets Recommendation 4.2 of the ASX Principles insofar as it consists only of non-
executive  directors  and  is  chaired  by  an  independent  chair  who  is  not  chair  of  the  Board.    It  does  not  meet 
Recommendation  4.2  insofar  as  it  does  not  consist  of  a  majority  of  independent  directors  and  does  not  have  at  least 
three members.  Nonetheless, the Board considers that the size of the Audit Committee is appropriate, in light  of  the 
current size of the Board and the current  size and stage of  development of the Company, and that Messrs Naylor and 
Dorward have the appropriate expertise to discharge their duties as committee members.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

External Auditor Relationship 

The Company’s independent external auditor is RSM Bird Cameron Partners.  RSM Bird Cameron Partners was appointed 
by  shareholders  at  the  2011  Annual  General  Meeting  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act.    The  Audit  Committee 
oversees the terms of engagement of the Company’s external auditor, including provisions directed at maintaining the 
independence of the external auditor and in assessing whether the provision of any proposed non-audit services by the 
external auditor is appropriate.  The Company requires the rotation of the external audit engagement  partner at least 
every five years.   

Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure 

Companies should promote timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the company. 

The Company has an obligation under the ASX Listing Rules to ensure that all investors have equal and timely access to 
factual,  material  information  concerning  the  Company,  presented  in  a  clear  and  balanced  way.    The  Company  has  a 
Continuous  Disclosure  Policy  that  includes  procedures  designed  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  ASX  Listing  Rules’ 
disclosure requirements and to ensure accountability at senior executive level for the compliance.  This policy is available 
on the Company’s website. 

Principle 6 – Respect the rights of shareholders 

Companies should respect the rights of shareholders and facilitate the effective exercise of those rights. 

Shareholder Communication 

The  Company  has  a  formal  policy  on  shareholder  communication,  which  reflects  the  Board’s  objective  of  maintaining 
active  communication  with  shareholders  as  owners  of  the  Company.    Mechanisms  used  by  the  Company  for 
communicating with shareholders include: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the Company’s annual report, which is distributed, or otherwise made available, to all shareholders; 

the Company’s quarterly activities reports; 

the Company’s half-year financial report; 

the  Company’s  annual  general  meeting  and  other  general  meetings  called  to  obtain  shareholder  approval  for 
significant corporate actions, as appropriate; 

Company announcements; 

the Company’s website; 

direct  email  alerts  of  ASX  releases  and  other  information  to  shareholders  and  other  interested  parties  who 
register their email address via the Company’s website; and 

webcasts via Boardroom Radio. 

The Company posts all shareholder-related information and Company ASX announcements (other than disclosures of a 
routine compliance nature) on the Company’s website in an accessible manner. 

Shareholder Meetings 

The Company encourages  shareholders attending annual and other general  meetings to ask questions of the directors 
regarding  the  Company’s  governance  and  business  performance,  and  of  the  external auditor regarding the conduct of 
the audit and the contents of the audit report.  In addition, the Company welcomes questions from shareholders at any 
time  and  these  are  answered  promptly  unless  the  information  requested  is  market  sensitive  and  not  in  the  public 
domain.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk 

Companies should establish a sound system of risk oversight and management and internal control. 

The Board defines risk to be any event that, if it occurs, will have a material impact (whether financial or non-financial) 
on  the  Company’s  ability  to  achieve  its  objectives.    The  identification  and  effective  management  of  risk,  including 
calculated risk taking, is viewed as an essential part of the Company’s approach to creating shareholder value. 

Risk Management Roles and Responsibilities 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  overseeing  the  effectiveness  of  risk  management  systems.    The  Board  determines  the 
Company’s  risk  profile  and  is  responsible  for  overseeing  and  approving  risk  management  strategy  and  policy,  internal 
compliance and internal control.  The Board considers it important for all Board members to be part of this process and, 
as such, has not established a separate risk management committee. 

The  Company  has  a  Risk  Oversight  Policy,  which  is  available  on  the  Company’s  website.    The  Board  has  established 
various specific policies and practices designed to identify and manage significant business risks, including: 

 

 

 

 

detailed monthly financial and operational reporting to the Board; 

approval of budgets; 

policies regarding internal controls and authority levels for expenditure; and 

policies and procedures relating to health, safety and environment. 

Day-to-day  responsibility  for  risk  oversight  and  management  is  delegated  to  the  Managing  Director,  who  is  primarily 
responsible for identifying, monitoring and communicating risk events to the Board and responding to risk events. 

Given  the  size  of  the  Company,  the  implementation  of  the  policies  and  practices  outlined  above  and  the  existence  of 
open channels of communication between the Board and management, the Board does not consider it necessary to have 
separate, stand-alone risk management and control systems designed by management which are reported to the Board.   

Management Assurances in relation to Financial Reporting 

The Board has received statements in writing from the Managing Director and Accountant that the declaration provided 
in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal 
control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.   

Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

Companies should ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to 
performance is clear. 

Remuneration & Nomination Committee 

As  noted  above,  the  Board  has  established  a  R&N  Committee.    The  R&N  Committee  is  responsible  for  determining 
compensation arrangements for directors, including the Managing Director, and reviewing compensation arrangements 
for senior executives.  Details of the role and responsibilities of the Committee are set out in the Committee’s Charter, 
which is available on the Company’s website.   

Given the size of the Board, all members of the Board are members of the R&N Committee.  The Committee is chaired by 
Mr Kevin Wilson.  As a result, the Company does not meet Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Principles insofar as the R&N 
Committee  is  not  chaired  by  an  independent  chair  and  does  not  consist  of  a  majority  of  independent  directors.  
Nonetheless,  the  Board  considers  that  the  R&N  Committee  effectively  discharges  its  mandate.    Any  potential  for,  or 
perception  of,  conflict  of  interest  resulting  from  the  Managing  Director’s  membership  of  the  R&N  Committee  is 
addressed  by  ensuring  that  the  Managing  Director  withdraws  from  committee  meetings  during  any  discussion  of  his 
remuneration arrangements or performance, and takes no part in the discussion or decision-making process in relation 
to such matters.   

The Directors’ Report sets out the attendance of directors at meetings of the R&N Committee.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Structure of Non-executive Director Remuneration and Executive Remuneration 

The structure of non-executive directors’ remuneration is distinguished from that of the Managing Director and senior 
executives.  The R&N Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments on a periodic 
basis  by  reference  to  relevant  market  conditions  with  the  overall  objective  of  ensuring  maximum  stakeholder  benefit 
from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. 

The non-executive directors  are remunerated by way of fixed annual fees (within the  aggregate fee limit approved by 
shareholders) but may also receive fees for additional services provided to the Company.  The non-executive directors do 
not  receive any retirement  benefits, other than statutory superannuation.  The non-executive directors have, with the 
prior approval of shareholders, received options to subscribe for shares in the Company.  For a company of the size and 
limited  cash  resources  of  the  Company,  the  grant  of  options  is  a  useful  tool  for  attracting  and  retaining  quality  non-
executive  directors  without  diminishing  the  Company’s  cash  resources.    The  Board  is  aware  that  the  ASX  Corporate 
Governance  Council’s  guidelines  do  not  support  the  issue  of  options  to  non-executive  directors  as  part  of  their 
remuneration.    As  the  Company  grows  and  its  cash  resources  increase,  the  Board  will  review  the  practice  of  issuing 
options to non-executive directors. 

The senior executives of the Company are remunerated by way of a total salary package which includes a balance of fixed 
remuneration (including statutory superannuation) and performance-based remuneration in the form of cash bonuses, 
linked  to  clearly  specified  short-term  performance  targets.    Equity-based  remuneration,  in  the  form  of  options  to 
subscribe for shares in the Company, is also offered in connection with long-term performance objectives appropriate to 
the Company’s circumstances and goals. 

Further  details  about  the  remuneration  of  the  non-executive  directors,  the  Managing  Director  and  other  senior 
executives  are  set  out  in  the  Remuneration  Report.    The  Remuneration  Report  also  outlines  the  Company’s  policy  of 
prohibiting key management personnel from hedging remuneration that is unvested or is vested but subject to a holding 
lock.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

NOTE 2: 

  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 

(d)    Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Navarre Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries 
as at 30 June 2012 and the results of all the subsidiaries for the year then ended (the Group). 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as 
to obtain benefits from their activities.  

The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  prepared  for  the  same  reporting  period  as  the  parent  company,  using 
consistent  accounting  policies.    In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  all  intercompany  balances  and 
transactions,  income,  expenses  and  profit  and  losses  from  intra  group  transactions,  have  been  eliminated  in  full.  
Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  to  the  Group  and  cease  to  be 
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. 

(e)    Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  carrying  amounts  of  certain  assets  and  liabilities  are  often  determined  based  on  judgements,  estimates  and 
assumptions  of  future  events.    The  key  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: 

Share-based payment transactions 

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.    The  fair  value  of  share  options  is  determined  using  either  a  Black 
Scholes or binomial option pricing model, and using the assumptions detailed in Note 19. 

Exploration and evaluation costs 

Exploration and evaluation costs are accumulated separately for each area of interest and carried forward provided that 
one of the following conditions is met: 

 

 

such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development or sale; or 

exploration  activities  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or 
otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are 
continuing. 

Significant judgement is required in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will be derived from the 
capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure.  In the judgement of the Directors, at 30 June 2012, apart from the 
tenement at Ballarat South that was written off during the year, exploration activities in each area of interest have not yet 
reached  a  stage  which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  ore  reserves.    Active  and 
significant  operations  in  relation  to  each  area  of  interest  are  continuing  and  nothing  has  come  to  the  attention  of  the 
Directors to indicate future economic benefits will not be achieved.  The Directors are continually monitoring the areas of 
interest and are exploring alternatives for funding the development of areas of interest when ore reserves are confirmed.  
If new information becomes available that suggests the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amounts capitalised will 
need to be reassessed at that time. 

(f) 

  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  comprise  cash  at  bank  and  in  hand  and 
short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. 

For  the  purpose  of  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  consist  of  cash  and  cash 
equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 

(g) 

Plant and equipment 

Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  impairment  losses.    Depreciation  is 
calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 5 years.

NOTE 2: 

  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 

(g) 

Plant and equipment (cont) 

Impairment 

The  carrying  values  of  plant  and  equipment  are  reviewed  for  impairment  when  events  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs.  Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated 
recoverable amount.  The asset is written down to its recoverable amount. 

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  In assessing 
value  in  use,  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise 
from the continued use of the asset.  Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference 
between  the  net  disposal  proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the  item)  is  included  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised. 

 (h) 

Exploration and evaluation costs 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is carried at cost.  If indication of impairment arises, the recoverable amount is 
estimated  and  an  impairment  loss  is  recognised  to  the  extent  that  the  recoverable  amount  is  lower  than  the  carrying 
amount. 

Exploration  and  evaluation  costs  are  accumulated  separately  for  each  current  area  of  interest  and  carried  forward 
provided that one of the following conditions is met: 

 

 

such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development or sale; or 

exploration  activities  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or 
otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are 
continuing. 

Impairment of exploration and evaluation costs 

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, 
profits/ (losses) and net assets will be varied in the period in which this determination is made. 

Farm-outs 

The Group will account for farm-out arrangements as follows: 

 

 

 

The Group will not record any expenditure made by the farminee on its behalf; 

The  Group  will  not  recognise  a  gain  or  loss  on  the  farm-out  arrangement  but  rather  will  redesignate  any  costs 
previously capitalised in relation to the whole interest as relating to the partial interest retained; and 

Any cash consideration to be received will be credited against costs previously capitalised in relation to the whole 
interest with any excess to be accounted for by the Group as gain on disposal. 

(i) 

Loans and receivables 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active  market.    They  are  included  in  current  assets,  except  for  those  with  maturities  greater  than  12  months  after  the 
balance  date  which  are  classified  as  non-current  assets.    Loans  and  receivables  are  included  in  receivables  in  the 
consolidated statement of financial position.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

NOTE 2: 

  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 

(i) 

Loans and receivables (cont.) 

Recognition and derecognition 

Regular  purchases and sales  of financial assets are recognised on trade date, the date on which  the  Group commits to 
purchase or sell the asset. 

Subsequent measurement 

Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Impairment 

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial  asset or group of financial 
assets is impaired. 

 (j) 

  Leases 

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and 
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is  dependent on the use a specific asset or assets 
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 

Leases under which the lessor retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as 
operating leases.  Operating lease payments are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. 

(k) 

Trade and other payables 

Trade and other payables are carried  at amortised cost  and represent  liabilities  for goods and services provided to the 
Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the  Group becomes obliged to make future 
payments in respect of the purchase of the goods and services. 

(l)  

  Provisions  

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and 
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a 
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 

When  the  Group  expects  some  or  all  of  a  provision  to  be  reimbursed,  for  example  under  an  insurance  contract,  the 
reimbursement  is  recognised  as  a  separate  asset  but  only  when  the  reimbursement  is  virtually  certain.    The  expense 
relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. 

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the 
present obligation at the balance date.  If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by 
discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.  The increase in the provision resulting from the passage 
of time is recognised in finance costs. 

Employee leave benefits 

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave 

Liabilities for wage and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave entitlements expected to be settled 
within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in provisions in respect of employees’ service up to the reporting 
date.    They  are  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the  liabilities  are  settled.    Liabilities  for  non-
accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

NOTE 2: 

  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 

(l)  

  Provisions  

Long service leave 

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value 
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the 
projected unit credit method.  Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures, and periods of service.  Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date in 
national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future 
cash outflows. 

(m)   Share-based payment transactions  

The Group provides benefits to employees and directors of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, 
whereby services are rendered in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).   

The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted.  
The fair value of options is determined using  either a Black Scholes or binomial option pricing model.  The fair  value of 
options with non-market performance criteria is determined by reference to the Company’s share price at date of grant. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in 
which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the recipient becomes fully entitled to the 
award (‘vesting date’). 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the 
extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors, based 
on the best available information at balance date, will ultimately vest.  No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market 
conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in determination of fair value at grant date.  The charge 
or credit for the period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of the 
period. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a 
market condition.  

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not 
been modified.  In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the 
modification, as measured at the date of modification.  

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense 
not  yet  recognised  for the award is recognised immediately.  However, if a  new award is  substituted  for the cancelled 
award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as 
if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.  

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings 
per share. 

(n)    Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are 
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 

(o)    Revenue 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue 
can be reliably measured.  Specific recognition criteria must also to be met: 

Interest income 

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method. 

 (p) 

Income tax  

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered 
from  or  paid  to  the  taxation  authorities.    The  tax  rates  and  tax  laws  used  to  compute  the  amount  are  those  that  are 
enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  on  all  temporary  differences  at  balance  date  between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.  

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:  

 

 

where  the  deferred  income  tax  liability  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction 
that  is  not  a  business  combination  and,  at  the  time  of  the  transaction,  affects  neither  the  accounting  profit  nor 
taxable profit or loss; or 

when  the  taxable  temporary  difference  is  associated  with  investments  in  subsidiaries,  associates  or  interests  in 
joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that 
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.  

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets 
and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible 
temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be used, except:  

 

 

where  the  deferred  income  tax  asset  relating  to  the  deductible  temporary  difference  arises  from  the  initial 
recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business  combination  and,  at  the  time  of  the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and  

when the deductible temporary differences is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in 
joint  ventures,  in  which  case  a  deferred  tax  asset  is  only  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  the 
temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the 
temporary differences can be applied.  

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is 
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be 
utilised.  

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it is 
has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the 
asset  is  realised  or  the  liability  is  settled,  based  on  tax  rates  (and  tax  laws)  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantively 
enacted at the balance date.  

Deferred  tax  assets  and  deferred  tax  liabilities  are  offset  only  if  a  legally  enforceable  right  of  set  off  exists  to  set  off 
current tax assets against current liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and 
the same taxable authority. 

Income  taxes  relating  to  items  recognised  directly  in  equity  are  recognised  in  equity  and  not  in  the  consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income.

(q)   Goods and services tax  

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  GST,  except  receivables  and  payables  which  are  stated  with  GST 
included.  Where GST incurred on a purchase of goods or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, the GST 
is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable.  

The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority  is  included  as  part  of  receivables  or 
payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.  

Cash  flows  are  included  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  on  a  gross  basis  and  the  GST  component  of  cash 
flows  arising  from  investing  and  financing  activities,  which  is  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority  is 
classified as operating cash flows.  

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net  of the  amount  of  GST recoverable  from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority.  

(r) 

  Earnings per share 

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  as  net  profit/(loss)  attributable  to  members  divided  by  the  weighted  average 
number of ordinary shares.   

Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  as  net  profit/(loss)  attributable  to  members  divided  by  the  weighted  average 
number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

(s)  Going concern 

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business 
activity and the realisation and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of the business. 

The Group incurred a loss of $843,061 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $397,775 and 
$3,775,831,  respectively,  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2012.  Notwithstanding  this,  the  Directors  are  satisfied  that  the 
Group will have sufficient cash resources to meet its working capital requirements in the future. 

The  Group  will  seek  to  raise  further  capital,  if  required,  as  and  when  necessary  to  meet  its  projected  operations.    The 
decision of how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time.  It is the Group’s 
plan that this capital will be raised by any one or a combination of the following: placement of  shares, pro-rata issue to 
shareholders, the exercise of outstanding options, and/or a further issue of shares to the public.   Should these methods 
not be considered to be viable, or in the best interests of shareholders, then it would be the Group’s intention to meet its 
obligations by either partial sale of the Group’s interests or farm-out, the latter course of action being part of the Group’s 
overall strategy. 

Based on the above, the Directors are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. 

(t)  Parent entity financial information 

The financial information for the parent entity, Navarre Minerals Limited, disclosed in Note 22 has been prepared on the 
same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below. 

Investments in subsidiaries 

Investments in subsidiaries are accounting for at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the financial statements of

Navarre Minerals Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiary formed a tax consolidated group with effect 
from 2 May 2012. Navarre Minerals Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. 

(ii) 

Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group 

Measurement method adopted under UIG 1052 Tax Consolidated Accounting 

The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and 
deferred tax amounts.  The Group has applied the group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of 
current  taxes  and  deferred  taxes  to  allocate  to  members  of  the  tax  consolidated  group.  The  current  and  deferred  tax 
amounts are measured in a systematic manner that is consistent with the principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises current tax liabilities (or assets) 
and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the 
tax consolidated group. 

Tax losses 

At balance date, the Group has estimated unused gross tax losses of $6,359,000 (2011: $2,070,000) that are available to 
offset against future taxable profits subject to continuing to meet relevant statutory tests.  To the extent that it does not 
offset a net deferred tax liability, a deferred tax asset has not been recognised in the accounts for these unused losses 
because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available to use against such losses.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

NOTE 6: 

EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE 

Basic  earnings/(loss)  per  share  amounts  are  calculated  by  dividing  net  loss  for  the  year  attributable  to  ordinary  equity 
holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. 

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of 
the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average 
number  of  ordinary  shares  that  would  be  issued  on  the  conversion  of  all  the  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares  into 
ordinary shares.  

For  the  year  ended  30  June  2012  and  for  the  comparative  period,  there  are  no  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares  as 
conversion of share options and performance rights would decrease the loss per share and hence are non-dilutive. 

The following data was used in the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share:

At balance date, there are no trade receivables that are past due but not impaired.  Due to the short term nature of these 
receivables, their carrying value approximates fair value.  Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 
30-90 day terms.  Details regarding the credit risk of current receivables are disclosed in Note 16.

(a) 

Terms and Condition of Ordinary Shares 

Ordinary shares entitle their holder to receive dividends as declared.   In the event of winding up the Company, ordinary 
shares entitle their holder to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of 
and amounts paid up or which should have been paid up on shares held.  Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one 
vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company.  Ordinary shares issued during the year and since the end 
of the year, from date of issue rank equally with the ordinary shares on issue. 

(b) 

Share Options 

At 30 June 2012 2,600,000 options over unissued shares granted to Non-Executive directors, executives and consultants 
were outstanding.  The options are granted pursuant to the Navarre Minerals Limited Option Plan, details of which are set 
out in Note 19. 

(c) 

Capital Management 

Capital is defined as equity.  When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going 
concern  as  well  as  to  maintain  optimal  returns  to  shareholders  and  benefits  of  other  stakeholders.    All  methods  of 
returning funds to shareholders outside of dividend payments or raising funds are considered within the context of  the 
Group’s objectives. 

The  Group  will  seek  to  raise  further  capital,  if  required,  as  and  when  necessary  to  meet  its  projected  operations.    The 
decision of how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time.  It is the Group’s 
plan that this capital will be raised by any one or a combination of the following: placement of shares, pro-rata issue to 
shareholders, the exercise of outstanding options, and/or a further issue of shares to the public.  Should these methods 
not be considered to be viable, or in the best interests of shareholders, then it would be the Group’s intention to meet its 
obligations by either partial sale of the Group’s interests or farm-out, the latter course of action being part of the Group’s 
overall strategy. 

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

NOTE 16: 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 

The  Group’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  cash  and  short  term  deposits,  the  main  purpose  of  which  is  to 
finance the Group’s operations.  The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and 
trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.  The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are 
credit  risk,  interest  rate  risk  and  liquidity  risk.    The  Board  of  Directors  has  reviewed  each  of  those  risks  and  has 
determined that they are not significant in terms of the Group’s current activities.   

Credit risk 

The  Group  trades  only  with  recognised,  creditworthy  third  parties.    Receivable  balances  are  monitored  on  an  ongoing 
basis with the results being that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. 

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the  Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other 
receivables.    The  Group's  exposure  to  credit  risk  arises  from  potential  default  of  the  counter  party,  with  a  maximum 
exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.  No collateral is held as security.  Exposure at balance date is 
the carrying value as disclosed in each applicable note. 

Interest rate risk 

The  Group’s  exposure  to  the  risk  of  changes  in  market  interest  rates  relates  primarily  to  the  Group’s  cash  and  cash 
equivalents with a floating interest rate: 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Consolidated 
2012 
$ 
1,505,134 

2011 
$ 
2,701,003 

Short term deposits are made for varying periods of between one month and three months, depending on the immediate 
cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short term deposit rates. 

Taking  into  account  past  performances,  future  expectations  economic  forecasts,  and  management’s  knowledge  and 
experience of the financial  markets, the  Group believes that  -/+ 1.0%  from the year-end rates of  4.25% represents the 
‘reasonably possible’ movement interest rates over the next 12 months.  The following is the impact of this on the profit 
or loss with all other variables including foreign exchange rates held constant: 

+1.0% (100 basis points) increase in interest rates with all other variables held 
constant 
-1.0% (100 basis points) decrease in interest rates with all other variables held 
constant

There is no impact on equity other than the above net profit sensitivities on retained earnings/accumulated losses. 

Liquidity Risk 

The Group’s exposure to financial obligations relating to corporate administration and projects expenditure, are subject 
to budgeting and reporting controls, to ensure that such obligations do not exceed cash held and known cash inflows for 
a period of at least 1 year.   

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built in an appropriate 
liquidity  risk  framework  for  the  management  of  the  Group’s  short,  medium  and  longer  term  funding  and  liquidity 
management  requirements.    The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  equity  funding  through  the 
monitoring of future cash flow forecasts of its operations, which reflect management’s expectations of the settlement of 
financial assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

NOTE 16: 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (cont.) 

The Group has limited financial resources and will need to raise additional capital from time to time as such fund raisings 
will be subject to factors beyond the control of the Group and its directors.  When Navarre requires further funding for its 
programs,  then  it  is  the  Group’s  intention  that  the  additional  funds  will  be  raised  by  any  one  or  a  combination  of  the 
following: placement of shares, pro-rata issue to shareholders, the exercise of outstanding options, and/or a further issue 
of shares to the public.   Should these methods not be considered to be viable, or in the best interests of shareholders, 
then it would be the Group’s intention to meet its obligations by either partial sale of the Group’s interests or farm-out, 
the latter course of action being part of the Group’s overall strategy. 

Maturity Analysis 

At  balance  date,  the  Group  holds  $260,275  of  financial  liabilities  consisting  of  trade  and  other  payables.    All  financial

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to perform minimum 
exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements.  These obligations are expected to be fulfilled in the 
normal course of operations.  Exploration interests may be relinquished or joint ventured to reduce this amount.  The 
Victorian State Government has the authority to defer, waive or amend the minimum expenditure requirements.  

(b) 

Contingent Liabilities 

In June 2008, Navarre Minerals signed a Tenement Sale Agreement with Leviathan Resources, which is currently owned 
by Crocodile Gold, to acquire exploration licence EL 4897.  Under the terms of the Agreement, Leviathan has a “once-off” 
right but not the obligation to earn a 60% interest in EL 4897 in the event that Navarre announces a Resource of not less 
than 500,000 ounces of gold and not less than one-half of which is an Indicated Mineral Resource or higher category.  If 
the Earn In Right is exercised, Leviathan shall have the right to earn a 60% interest by sole funding all further exploration 
and development of EL4897 until Leviathan has spent not less than three times the total expenditure incurred by Navarre 
in EL 4897 and completed a Bankable Feasibility Study.

NOTE 19: 

SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLANS (cont.)  

On 25 November 2011, 650,000 share options were granted to the non-executive directors exercisable at a price of 25 
cents per option on or before 31 December 2014.  The options vest 50% on 31 December 2011 and 50% on 31 December 
2012. 

The fair value of the options at date of grant was estimated to be 13.87 cents.  The fair value was determined using a 
Binomial pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted, and using the 
following inputs to the model: 

Expected volatility 
Risk-free interest rate 

81%  Contractual life (years)  

5.08%  Dividend yield 

3 years 
0% 

The total amount expensed in the year relating to these share options was $69,372.  

The effects of early exercise have been incorporated into the calculations by using an expected life for the option that is 
shorter  than  the  contractual  life  based  on  historical  exercise  behaviour,  which  is  not  necessarily  indicative  of  exercise 
patterns that may occur in the future. 

On 19 March 2012, 250,000 share options were granted to senior employees of the Company exercisable at a price of 30 
cents per option on or before 31 December 2016.  The options vest in three tranches, one third on 1 January 2013, one 
third on 1 January 2014 and one third on 1 January 2015. 

The  fair  value  of  the  options  at  date  of  grant  is  estimated  to  be  17.54  cents  for  the  first  tranche,  18.67  cents  for  the 
second  tranche  and  19.63  cents  for  the  third  tranche.    The  fair  value  was  determined  using  a  Binomial  pricing  model, 
taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted, and using the following inputs to the 
model: 

Expected volatility 
Risk-free interest rate 

120%  Contractual life   
3.79%  Dividend yield 

5 years 
0% 

The total amount expensed in the year relating to these share options was $9,627. 

The effects of early exercise have been incorporated into the calculations by using an expected life for the option that is 
shorter  than  the  contractual  life  based  on  historical  exercise  behaviour,  which  is  not  necessarily  indicative  of  exercise 
patterns that may occur in the future.
