The Mineral Resource is located on the eastern flank of
the Irvine basalt dome, which has been subject to broader
exploration work across other targets. Ultimately, we aim to
deliver several potential advanced projects within commercial
distance of the nearby Stawell processing facility.
Work this year will focus on substantially increasing the size of
our resource base with further drilling planned for the Irvine
basalt dome and at St Arnaud.
During the year Navarre also carried out extensive exploration
programs at its wholly owned St Arnaud Gold Project and at
Glenlyle near Ararat, part of the greater Stawell Corridor Gold
Project.
Glenlyle contains Morning Bill, a greenfields prospect
discovered by the Company in 2018 under shallow cover.

Post balance date the Company received results for
three diamond core holes for a total of 1,242 metres
drilled at the Resolution prospect which missed
the timing deadline to be included in the MRE. The
best result was 1.1 metres at 14.0 grams per tonne
gold in hole RD044 (see ASX announcements on 15
September 2021).
LANGI LOGAN BASALT DOME
South of the Irvine basalt dome, the 14.5 kilometre
long Langi Logan basalt dome is the next major
prospect for Magdala-style mineralisation within
the Stawell Corridor Gold Project (Figures 2 & 6).
Prior to World War One, deep-lead mining within
the prospect area produced approximately 133,000
ounces of gold from old river gravels now covered
by younger lava flows that range from two to 30
metres in thickness.
During the year, a 3,400 metre air core drilling
campaign has enhanced the potential scale of
the gold system through the identification of a
previously unknown 2.5 kilometre extension of the
basalt dome (Langi Logan North Extension on
Figure 6), offset to the west by a major east-west
trending transverse fault.
The reconnaissance air-core drilling highlighted
several areas of anomalous gold, quartz veining
and sulphides (pyrite + arsenopyrite) requiring
follow-up infill drilling.
Langi Logan is at an early exploration stage but has
the potential to be a new gold system similar to
that found on the flanks of the Irvine and Magdala
basalt domes.

GLENLYLE PROJECT
HIGHLIGHT INTERCEPTS
Situated 25 kilometres south-west of Ararat, the Glenlyle
tenement captures a large circular intrusive complex within
the Dryden-Stavely Volcanic Belt (Figure 2). This belt of
rocks also hosts the Cayley Lode copper discovery of Stavely
Minerals (ASX: SVY), 25 kilometres south-on-strike at Stavely’s
nearby Thursdays Gossan deposit.
The Glenlyle tenement contains the exciting Morning Bill
discovery, a greenfields prospect discovered by Navarre
in 2018.
During H1 2021, Navarre completed the first ever diamond core
testing program of Morning Bill, with a total of 2,994 metres of
drilling completed across eight holes as follow-up to strongly
anomalous gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc mineralisation
reported in earlier air-core drilling (refer ASX announcements

The results provide further evidence that Morning Bill is an
emerging large, concealed gold-silver system with
polymetallic potential.
A major geophysics program is now underway as a prelude to
a drilling program to start later this year.
The knowledge gained about Morning Bill’s mineralisation will
be applied to follow up drilling programs scheduled for later
in the year, following completion of the annual crop harvest.

Led by Catalyst, exploration at Tandarra is targeting the next
generation of gold deposits under shallow cover in the region.
The Tandarra Gold Project comprises three main prospects,
Macnaughtan, Tomorrow and Lawry that are concealed
beneath a blanket of younger, post-mineralisation sediments
of the Murray Basin (Figure 9). These three prospects are
adjacent to one another and are located in the hangingwall of
the Whitelaw Fault, a major structural control of gold
mineralisation at Bendigo.
During the year the Tandarra Joint Venture completed a total
of 10,509 metres of air-core, RC and diamond drilling across
the Macnaughtan, Tomorrow and Lawry prospects.
TOMORROW PROSPECT
At the Tomorrow prospect, diamond holes TND003-TND006
and reverse circulation holes TNR001-TNR005 were
completed in April 2021.
The drilling targeted repetitions of gold-bearing fault
structures at depth, below the main zone.
Figure 9: Plan of the Macnaughtan, Tomorrow and Lawry
prospects showing significant 2021 drilling results.
(Diagrams reproduced courtesy of Catalyst Metals Limited).
Hole TND003 returned the best results of 2.9 metres at 1.6
grams per tonne gold from 158 metres and 2.6 metres at 3.5
grams per tonne gold from 177 metres, confirming the position
of the upper west-dipping mineralised fault.
HIGHLIGHT INTERCEPTS (MACNAUGHTAN)
Drilling also intersected a deeper fault structure about 450
metres downhole, demonstrating repetition at depth albeit
with less alteration and lower gold values.
Further drill testing is required at all three prospects to infill
and expand the known extends of gold mineralisation which
remains open along strike and at depth.

Stavely Minerals Limited (ASX: SVY) (Stavely) may earn up to
an 80% equity interest in EL 5425 from Navarre by spending
$450,000 over a five year period. EL 5425 is adjacent to
Stavely’s wholly owned EL 4556 tenement that contains the
Cayley Lode copper discovery at their nearby Thursdays
Gossan deposit.
During the year, Stavely received results from a 7,500 line
kilometre regional airborne gravity survey recently flown over
its combined Stavely project area, inclusive of EL 5425 (refer
SVY ASX announcement of 15 March 2021).
The survey results are being reviewed to aid identification
of regional exploration targets obscured by shallow
transported cover.
Auger geochemical assays of 39 samples were also carried out
but did not locate any significant porphyry pathfinder
elements.
The Jubilee Gold Project includes the historical 619 metre deep
Jubilee Gold Mine which produced approximately 130,000
ounces of gold, at an average grade of 12 grams per tonne.
After operating for 26 years the mine closed in 1913 and no
drilling had taken place since then.
During the year, Navarre’s 3,444 metre reconnaissance
air-core drilling campaign returned strongly anomalous gold
grades of up to 1.5 grams per tonne across three targets.
These are associated with abundant quartz veining and have
significantly expanded the footprint and robustness of the
Jubilee project.
A deeper target below the old mine workings remains to be
tested with diamond drilling.

CORPORATE
CAPITAL RAISING
Navarre raised $8 million of equity capital in July 2020. In June
2021, the Company further strengthened its balance sheet
via an oversubscribed placement and share purchase plan that
raised a combined $14.9 million.
With $14.1 million cash as of 30 June 2021, Navarre is well
funded to continue its ongoing exploration programs.
BOARD MOVEMENTS
Ian Holland was appointed as an independent non-executive
director in May 2020 and was subsequently appointed
joint managing director on 1 September 2020 and
managing director on 1 April 2021, as part of a phased
succession program.
Navarre’s foundation managing director Geoff McDermott
was appointed technical director on 1 April 2021.
OUTLOOK
With a strong balance sheet, Navarre is in an excellent position
to pursue its multi-faceted exploration program at a time
of sustained investor interest in the Victorian gold story.
The board and management look forward to updating
shareholders on the exploration program.

10.3 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
nonexecutive directors is currently set at $300,000 per
annum. Any increase in this amount will require shareholder
approval at a general meeting.
Non-executive directors are remunerated at marketplace
levels by way of fixed fees, usually in the form of cash and
statutory superannuation contributions, and (from time to
time, as appropriate) options issued through the Navarre
Minerals Limited Option Plan (“NMLOP”) or share performance
rights issued through the Navarre Minerals Limited
Performance Rights Plan (“NMLPRP”). For the reporting
period, the Chairman was entitled to receive $50,000 per
annum (excluding statutory superannuation). Effective from 1

Board.
In August 2020, the Board of Directors considered
Mr McDermott’s short term incentive arrangements
for the period up to 31 March 2021. The Board of
Directors determined that Mr McDermott will receive
a short-term incentive in the form of a cash payment
of up to $100,000, subject to achievement of agreed
KPIs. Those KPIs comprised performance measures
in relation to the delivery of a maiden Mineral
Resource. In March 2021, the Board of Directors
assessed Mr McDermott’s performance against the
defined short-term incentive KPIs and approved
a cash payment of $85,000 to Mr McDermott by
way of a short-term incentive for the period up to
31 March 2021. Of this, $50,000 was related to the
delivery of the maiden Inferred Minerals Resource
of 3.9Mt @ 2.43g/t gold for 304,300 ounces of gold
at the Resolution and Adventure prospects, and the
remaining $35,000 was related to the additional
Exploration Target declared for the Resolution and
Adventure prospects of between 3.4 and 5.2Mt
at a grade ranging between 2.0 to 3.0 g/t gold
for 280,000 to 420,000 ounces of gold (see ASX
announcement of 30 March 2021).
In line with the Company’s internal policy to utilise
performance rights rather than short-term incentive
payments, no short-term incentive payment was
included in Mr McDermott’s remuneration package
for financial year 2022.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
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 23.
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:
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.
(h)
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.
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

operations in relation to each area of interest are continuing and nothing has come to the attention of the Directors to indicate future

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)
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
(i)
Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale
Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through
a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of
disposal. For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in
their present condition and their sale must be highly probable.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair

reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to
the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised.

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

NOTE 5:
INCOME TAX (cont.)
In June 2018, the Company received an allocation of up to $1,576,603 exploration credits in the Federal Government’s Junior Minerals
Exploration Incentive (“JMEI”) scheme for FY2019. The JMEI scheme enables eligible exploration companies to create exploration credits by
giving up a portion of their tax losses from greenfields minerals expenditure and distributing these exploration credits to eligible investors
who were issued new shares in the Company’s capital raising activities during FY2019. On 11 November 2019, the Company created JMEI
tax credits totalling $977,070 which have been applied and distributed on a pro-rata basis to eligible investors. Accordingly, carry forward
tax losses have been reduced by $3,256,901 (i.e. $977,070 grossed up by 30%). The balance of unused JMEI tax credits from FY2019
($599,533) were carried forward to FY2020.
In June 2019, the Company received an allocation of up to $1,500,000 exploration credits in the Federal Government’s JMEI scheme for
FY2020. Subsequent to FY2020, the Company calculated that out of the $1,500,000 of exploration credits allocated to the Company, a
maximum of $1,425,603 were distributable for FY2020 (based on $4,752,009 capital raised during FY2020 multiplied by the Company’s tax
rate of 30%).
On 9 December 2020, the Company created JMEI tax credits totalling $1,267,182. Of these, $599,533 were applied and distributed on a pro-
rata basis to FY2019 eligible investors and the remaining $667,649 were applied and distributed on a pro-rata basis to FY2020 eligible
investors. Accordingly, carry forward tax losses have been reduced by $4,223,941 (i.e. $1,267,182 grossed up by 30%).
The balance of unused JMEI tax credits from FY2020 ($757,954) have been carried forward to FY2021 and, depending on the tax loss
recorded for the FY2021, will be distributed to the FY2020 eligible investors.
The JMEI scheme replaced the previous Exploration Development Incentive scheme (“EDI”) scheme from 1 July 2017. The EDI operated for
a three year period (FY15 – FY17) and the Company issued exploration credits to shareholders to the value of $666,519. The value of tax
losses forgone is $2,341,207.
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 2021 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.

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 losses
At balance date, the Group has estimated unused gross tax losses of $29,895,000 (2020: $21,175,000) 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.

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.

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.

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, other receivables and other
financial assets. 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. The impact of a 1.0% change in the market interest rates will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial
position.
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.

On 16 February 2021, Navarre announced the execution of a binding agreement with Resource Base Limited (Resource Base) for the sale
of the Company’s Black Range base metal exploration tenement (EL 4590) in western Victoria, which includes the Eclipse prospect.
As consideration for acquiring 100% ownership in the tenement, Resource Base agreed to provide Navarre the following consideration,
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent:
(a) $1,520,000 in Resource Base shares on settlement (at Resource Base Initial Public Offering price of $0.20 per share);
(b) 2,500,000 Resource Base shares on the announcement of a JORC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of

settlement date; and
(c) 6,000,000 Resource Base shares on delivery of a definitive feasibility study within 5 years of settlement which indicates a project
net present value of greater than $250,000,000.
In addition, Navarre was entitled to nominate one non-executive director to sit on the Board of Resource Base.
On 12 July 2021, following successful completion of its Initial Public Offering, Resource Base was admitted to the Official List of ASX Limited.
As a result, the Company was issued 7,600,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Resource Base.
On 1 July 2021, Navarre issued 3,300,000 share performance rights to senior staff of the Company under the terms of the Navarre Minerals
Limited Performance Rights Plan.
In September 2021, Navarre’s application to participate in the Federal Government’s Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive (JMEI) scheme for
the 2021/2022 income tax year was accepted by the Australian Taxation Office. The Company has received an allocation of up to
$1,250,000 exploration credits which can be distributed to eligible shareholders, being those that are Australian resident shareholders who
apply for and are issued new shares in Navarre’s capital raising activities between 1 September 2021 and 30 June 2022.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Navarre Minerals Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Navarre Minerals Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group),
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement
of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of
cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's
report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Carrying Value of Capitalised Exploration Expenditure
Refer to Note 14 in the financial statements
The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure, with a carrying value of $26,213,914 as
at 30 June 2021.
Our audit procedures in relation to the carrying
value of exploration and evaluation expenditure
included:
Under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of
Mineral Resources, the Group is required to test the
exploration and evaluation asset for impairment
when facts and circumstances suggest that the
the recoverable
carrying amount may exceed
amount. We determined this to be a Key Audit Matter
due
judgement
involved in assessing the carrying value of the asset.
the significant management
to
obtaining evidence that the Group has valid rights
to explore in the specific areas of interest;
enquiring with management and reviewing the
basis on which they have determined that the
exploration and evaluation of mineral resources
has not at the reporting date, reached a stage
which permits a reasonable assessment of the
existence or otherwise of economically recoverable
reserves;
enquiring with management and reviewing budgets
and plans to assess whether active and significant
operations are continuing in the specific areas of
interest;
reviewing whether management has received any
data which might cause them to conclude that the
exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be
recovered in full from successful development or by
sale; and
reviewing minutes of director meetings and
Australian Securities and Investments Commission
announcements to ensure the Directors have not
resolved to discontinue activities in the specific
areas of interest.
