The contents of this presentation must not be photocopied, reproduced, disclosed or distributed to any other person without the prior written consent of Navarre. The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Exploration Potential is based on information compiled by Mr Wessley Edgar. Mr Edgar is an employee of Navarre Minerals Limited, is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and is a Competent Person under the definition of the 2012 JORC Code. The Exploration Potential described in this Presentation is conceptual in nature, and there is insufficient information to establish whether further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. Mr Edgar consents to the publication of this information in the form and content in which it appears. The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Targets refers to targets that are conceptual in nature, where there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. The information on porphyry copper and gold exploration targets in this presentation are based on a conceptual range of targets as follows: Tonnage range: 300 million to >500 million tonnes Grade range: 0.3% Cu to 2.0% Cu & 0.2 g/t Au to 2 g/t Au Metal: 1Mt contained copper & >0.5 million ounces of gold Page 2 of 17 ASX Code: NML

3 Emergence of Victorian copper BIG PROJECTS, BIG POSITIONS 100% ownership of key projects FOCUS ON MIGA ARC - BASE METALS Secured porphyry copper prospects on Miga Arc Eclipse, Lexington, Pollockdale & Glenlyle 50 targets generated & prioritised LARGE GOLD AT BENDIGO Advancing the shallow open pit potential at Tandarra Bulk sample treatment of existing drill residues to quantify contained gold distribution EXAMINING TRANSFORMATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES Page 3 of 17

4 Significant milestones Investing for growth and adding value to our project portfolio Copper Miga Arc: geology like Andes, host to world s largest known copper porphyry systems 100% ownership of big footprint First mover- best ground, dominant position Porphyry-style Cu-Au drilled at Eclipse New porphyry-style copper target identified at Lexington 50 copper and gold targets generated Gold 100% ownership of Tandarra formally completed Bulk sample treatment plant reconfigured, commissioned and commencement of drill residue processing CSAMT geophysics Page 4 of 17

5 Miga Arc Victoria s new emerging copper belt SE Australia s main volcanic terranes and their identified metal endowments Miga Arc now recognised as an Andeanstyle volcanic arc concealed below recent thin cover and remains under-explored Miga Arc comparable to widely explored Macquarie Arc Rocks are similar in age & type to Mt Read Volcanics of Tasmania, host to Mt Lyell & Rosebery Mines Volcanic arc systems world-wide host porphyry copper, VHMS, epithermal base metal and gold deposits Approx. location of seismic section shown in next slide Page 5 of 17

6 Miga Arc Recent seismic data show new copper & gold opportunities in western Victoria Andes Volcanic Range, South America South American plate S Pacific plate N ~ 500 million years ago W E Arcs form above subduction zones at plate boundaries (eg. Andes, Indonesia) W Present day Western Victoria E Most arcs contain giant porphyry copper deposits Miga Arc only recognised as Andean-type margin in January 2013 Page 6 of 17 Miga Arc seismic survey interpretation, after Cayley et al, 2013 (in prog.)

7 Cu-Porphyry Exploration Targets 1 >500Mt tonnes % copper g/t gold Porphyry copper deposits are large, low-grade, bulk-mined deposits Largest are billion 0.7-2% copper Usually associated with gold and/or molybdenum Cadia Hill Porphyry Cu-Au Mine, central NSW 1 Refer to slide 2 Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature, where there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is Page 7 of 17 uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

8 Western Victoria Copper Project - Miga Arc Under-explored volcanic province containing large porphyry Cu-Au targets 130 kms of under-explored Pacific rim style volcanic belt with no deep drill holes Near established infrastructure (power, port, rail, highways, workforce & processing facility) Porphyry-style copper mineralisation confirmed by drilling Sole diamond hole at Lexington intersects primary copper up to 0.6% and Mo up to 800ppm Navarre activities completed: 26 drill holes for 2,200m at Eclipse Geophysics aeromagnetics, EM & IP surveys at Eclipse Soils geochemistry and PIMA studies at Eclipse Reconnaissance mapping, rock chip & soils at Lexington 50 targets developed for follow-up Page 8 of 17

9 Eclipse prospect Porphyry copper-gold system Scale potential large geophysical feature co-incident with anomalous base metal geochemistry Previous shallow high-grade intercepts include:* 0.7% Cu, 1.9% Zn, 0.8g Au/t (RC92GM52) 0.7% Cu, 0.2g Au/t, inc. 2.2% Cu (RC92GM55) 3.0% Cu, 2.0g Au/t (RC93GM65) >276 m of zinc + gold + pyrite hydrothermal alteration in DD10BR001 indicates proximity to porphyry core PIMA analysis of existing air-core drill chips and diamond core indicates proximity to potential higher-grade porphyry core Page 9 of 17 * See Navarre s December 2010 prospectus

14 Bendigo North - Tandarra Testing the shallow open pit potential Bendigo-style quartz reef gold under shallow cover Multiple lines of quartz reef 29 targets detected by CSAMT geophysics 14 confirmed by AC drilling to contain anomalous gold limited RC drill testing on 2 lines confirms continuity of mineralised structures Scale potential from multiple shallow quartz reefs, open in most directions Bulk sample testing of RC drill residues to assist understanding of gold grades Potential for open pit and underground mining Page 14 of 17 Sample plant - loading samples Sample treatment plant concentrate ACT151 gold

15 Navarre Board & Management Experience & results Highly experienced leadership team with combined 60 years of exploration and operational experience in Victoria and track-record of bringing projects into production Kevin Wilson John Dorward Colin Naylor Geoff McDermott Jane Nosworthy Wess Edgar Jodi Ford Marlene Erard - Chairman - Non-Executive Director - Non-Executive Director - Managing Director - Company Secretary - Exploration Manager - Accountant - Office Manager Page 15 of 17

16 Our view Miga Arc provides an exceptional opportunity for mineral discovery: Newly recognised continental margin arc setting like South America s Andes, host to the world s largest known copper porphyry systems Emerging Cu-Au porphyry province Potential for discovery of giant deposits Independent Navarre and GSV* studies (inc. rock/ alteration) suggest proximity to Cu mineral deposits Active exploration program underway with drilling scheduled for Q $1.55M cash (30 September 2013) Considering JV & other transaction opportunities Page 16 of 17 * Geological Survey of Victoria
