BBRROONNZZEEWWIINNGG
Project Overview The Bronzewing Gold Project (BGP) is located 80km northeast of Leinster in Western Australia and
comprises the Bronzewing and McClure group of mines within a semi‐contiguous landholding of
approximately 1,000km2. Open pit mineral resources at BGP (as at 30 June 2011) total 18.42Mt @
1.6g/t for 940,000oz of contained gold (which comprises 13.42Mt @1.6g/t for 698,000oz in the
Indicated category and 5.00Mt @ 1.5g/t for 242,000oz in the Inferred category).
Operations Update Gold production for the June 2012 quarter was 14,780oz, which was a marginal increase on the
14,541oz produced in the March 2012 quarter.
As has been the case in previous quarters, the non‐availability of sufficient quantities of higher grade
ore meant that ore feed to the processing plant had to be supplemented with low grade material.
This resulted in a lowering of the average grade of material milled, hence lower gold production.
Continuing high in‐pit strip ratios and the underperformance of mining due to a combination of
weather, equipment availabilities and operator turnover affected the delivery of the scheduled high
grade ore and hence the performance of the BGP during the quarter.
Safety and Training
Navigator’s safety record has continued to improve throughout the financial year. The BGP
experienced no Lost Time Injuries (LTI) during the June 2012 quarter and one in the previous quarter
out of a total of eight for the full year. Bronzewing had recorded 110 LTI free days to the end of the
quarter. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) is at 11.8 at the end of the quarter being less
than half of the LTIFR of 23.8 at the same time last year.
Mining Total material movement for the quarter was 2.08 million BCMs, which was on par with the previous
quarter. Ore mined was 310,209 tonnes which was down on the previous quarter. Ore grade
increased to 1.35g/t Au (previous quarter 1.23g/t Au).
Mining was below forecast due to weather conditions, machine availability and an increase in
turnover of experienced operators. Excavator availability was an issue with significant down periods
during April and June due to breakdowns. In late June the Liebherr 994 excavator was changed out
for a Komatsu PC1800 in order to increase fleet productivity.
There were three wall slips in different areas of the pit during the latter part of the quarter. While
individually they were localised and not overly significant, each caused interruption to mining
activities while the slip area was monitored, cleaned up and stabilised. This took management and

machine‐power away from normal mining activities resulting in minor drops in production. The
Company’s geotechnical consultant and representatives from the Department of Mines and
Petroleum visited site and reviewed the slip areas and additional monitoring, planning and
geotechnical procedures have been implemented.
The affect of the above events was that scheduled waste movements were not achieved, in turn
delaying access to the required ore zones. By the end of the quarter the pit was set up to ensure
efficient movement and access to better grade material in the September 2012 quarter. As work
continues there has been a noticeable increase in head grade as mining nears the better ore zones
deeper in the pit.
Mining is now encountering mainly fresh rock with a reduction of transitional material. Drill and
blast is now a routine part of the mining cycle with five blasthole rigs operating full time in the pit to
provide enough broken material to satisfy the scheduled mining rate. The extra drilling and blasting
has been costed into the operational budgets. During the quarter a trial was undertaken to compare
Reverse Circulation (RC) grade control with blasthole sampling to determine if there was any
significant difference in results between the two methods. The intention is to move away from the
more expensive RC drilling and utilise the blastholes for both grade control and blasting. This will
reduce grade control costs in 2012/13 and partially offset the extra drill and blast costs. The trial
showed no significant difference in ore body definition and the decision was made to phase out RC
drilling.
During the quarter, following a review and recommendation by external consultants, cut‐off grades
for the ore definition were altered. Previously ore was defined as High Grade +1.2g/t Au, Low Grade
0.7g/t to 1.2g/t and Mineralised Waste 0.5g/t to 0.7g/t. As both High Grade and Low Grade material
was needed to fill the mill it was decided to combine these two sources to form one Mill Feed
category, and cut‐off grade was lifted to 0.9g/t to provide a better tonnes and grade combination,
thus maximising available ounces. Low Grade ore is currently defined as 0.5g/t to 0.9g/t, and is
stockpiled for required mill “top‐up” and for processing at the end of mine life.

Mine Planning During April, the mine plan for the BGP was substantially remodelled and rescheduled and this work continued during the quarter with the aim of developing a plan that will deliver more high grade ore earlier than had been forecast under the previous model. Part of this rescheduling involved investigating dividing the pit into several sections which can be mined sequentially rather than taking the whole pit down on a uniform level development. The intention of this revision was to bring forward production from higher grade zones and defer waste removal therefore increasing production and reducing costs over the next six months. The plan confirms that the bulk of the remaining mine development work will be completed during the September 2012 quarter and it is planned to reduce the size of the mining fleet in October 2012 which will also result in a decrease in mining costs. This review has been completed and checking of the new mine schedule and budget derived from the plan was ongoing at the end of the quarter prior to being presented to the Board for approval and formal adoption. As noted in the March 2012 Quarterly Report, the Company will be reviewing the current published Cockburn Open Pit Ore Reserves to take into account the new mine plan which is based on an A$1,350/oz gold price. This review and the revised estimate will be released in October 2012 in conjunction with the release of the annual review of all of the Company’s Resources and Reserves.
Ore Processing Total ore milled for the June 2012 quarter increased to 506,720 tonnes at an estimated grade of 1.02g/t Au. Because the mine was unable to supply the scheduled amount of ore, a significant amount of Low Grade material was used to supplement mill feed. Despite this there was still a marginal increase in quarterly gold production (from 14,541oz to 14,780oz). Mill recovery rate fell to 88.9% during the quarter as the change from predominantly oxide ore to a higher level of transitional and sulphide ore resulted in a shift in the metallurgical properties of the material presented to the mill. The change of ore type resulted in increased reagents consumption and a slight reduction in throughput. By the end of the quarter metallurgical test work had been carried out and recovery rates returned to the 90% to 92% range.

Production Forecasts
The Investor Presentation of May 2012 as released to the ASX and posted on the Company’s website
contained information on the then current 2012/13 and 2103/14 Year Mine Plan Forecasts. As
outlined above, the mine schedule and plans are currently under review and will be different to
those outlined in the aforementioned Investor Presentation. It is not possible to fully update those
forecasts until the revised plans have been finalised and approved by the Company’s Board however
the Company can advise that gold production for the September 2012 quarter is forecast to be in the
range of 17,000‐20,000oz, which will be at least a 15% increase on the June 2012 quarter.

Project Overview
The 320km2 Leonora Gold Project (LGP) is located 35km northeast of the town of Leonora, and
approximately 250km north of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. A pre‐feasibility study was completed
in March 2009 and these outcomes consolidated with an open pit ore mining and milling trial during
the first half of 2010, during which a total of 114,000 tonnes of ore was processed. The last parcels
of ore were milled in July 2010 and the trial successfully confirmed materials handling, grade and
recovery aspects and generated net cashflow in excess of $2 million from gold sales.

Mineral resources at LGP (after depletion for the trial mining conducted in 2010) total 12.3Mt at 1.9g/t for 745,000oz of contained gold (which comprises 8.16Mt @ 2.0g/t for 533,000oz in the Indicated category and 4.13Mt @ 1.6g/t for 212,000oz in the Inferred category)~.
Leonora Project Advancement The internal review of the Leonora 2009 pre‐feasibility study (PFS) has been placed on hold with the operational issues at Bronzewing having taken priority for management. The PCF Capital process to source third party interest in a sale or joint venture of the LGP has continued during the quarter. Discussions are ongoing with a number of interested parties but none have produced a proposal that has been capable of consideration by the Company as a firm and adequate offer to date.
EEXXPPLLOORRAATTIIOONN RREEPPOORRTT The Company’s primary exploration objective at the BGP is to increase mine life through exploration activities aimed at discovering higher quality resource and reserve ounces. Due to the lack of funds in recent quarters, this activity has not been able to be pursued through new drilling but soil sampling programs and in house work has still progressed via the evaluation and interpretation of previous exploration results and activities.
Cockburn Pit Navigator recently completed three 42m, vertical RC probe holes in various locations on the Cockburn pit floor. One of these holes, COBRC10622, intersected better than expected mineralisation as shown in Figure 4 with all assay data detailed in Table 3. The other holes shown in Figure 4 are historic holes drilled in the mid 1990s and were part of the Cockburn Resource estimate as of 30 June 2011. Drill hole COBRC10622 was an RC hole with samples collected over 1 metre intervals via a cyclone splitter. The samples were assayed by both pulp and acid leach (PAL) and normal fire assay techniques. The PAL assays, a partial gold assay, are processed at the Company’s onsite laboratory whilst the fire assays, which are a total gold assay, are carried out at a commercial, independent laboratory. The first 3m of the hole were not sampled, whilst the next 6m yielded an average grade of 0.32g/t Au. The remainder of the hole averaged 34m @ 3.98g/t Au which included 23m @ 5.03g/t Au from 9m – 32m. The estimated true width of the 34m interval is ~20m. These average assay results are from the final fire assay results from the independent laboratory with a 10g/t Au top cut applied. The onsite PAL laboratory gave results which on average were less than 2% lower than the fire assays.

Bower‐Harrier Heritage Survey An Aboriginal heritage survey was completed at Bower‐Harrier during April with a clearance being given. The 9,000m aircore drilling program, along with a small 1,000m aircore program to test a soil anomaly in the Eagle East area, which were noted in the March 2012 Quarterly Report as being planned to be completed early in the September 2012 quarter have both been deferred until adequate funds are available. It is unlikely this program will occur before the December 2012 quarter.

LLEEOONNOORRAA Programs of auger and soil sampling are being carried out on a number of Prospecting Licences at Leonora. The programs are still in progress with results pending.
CCUUMMMMIINNSS RRAANNGGEE (Navigator 75%, KRE 25%) Navigator (75%) has a joint venture arrangement in place with Kimberley Rare Earths Limited (KRE) (25%) over the Cummins Range Rare Earths Project where KRE has the ability to earn an additional 30% in the project by expending $10 million over four years. KRE is the JV manager and responsible for all exploration activities. No field exploration was carried out in the June 2012 quarter. Further drilling is on hold whilst a Preliminary Evaluation Study is being completed. A pit optimisation study has been completed using Whittle 4x software. The results of the study have been incorporated into a conceptual mine schedule to inform the Preliminary Evaluation Study financial model. A conceptual rare earth separation flow sheet has been developed using a proprietary flotation reagent scheme and wet high intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS). The flow sheet was optimised through the application of locked‐cycle testing which confirmed the beneficiation process is able to achieve a concentrate grade of >15% TREO and a recovery of >59% TREO. Based on these results, three options for downstream processing and rare earth separation flow sheets using conventional technologies were identified and have been subjected to economic assessment as a key component of the Preliminary Evaluation Study. Further information regarding KRE is available on their website at www.kimberleyrareearths.com.au.
LLAAUURRAA RRIIVVEERR (Magma 70%, Navigator 30% free carried to decision to mine) An auger sampling program commenced in June with sampling on E80/2523 being about 75% complete. The program on E80/2552 will commence shortly. Results are awaited. The Company notes that Magma Metals is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Panoramic Resources Limited.

Cash Position As at 30 June 2012, Navigator held $3.39 million in free cash, $3.44 million of gold in transit and $7.08 million in environmental bonds.
Gold Sales Gold sales from the BGP for the quarter were 15,927oz at an average sale price of $1,564/oz for total revenue of $24.9 million. The cash operating cost for the quarter was $1,511/oz.
Hedging
Navigator currently has no hedging in place.
Expenditure
During the quarter, exploration expenditure incurred was $397,000, of which $196,000 was
expended on the BGP and $201,000 on LGP.
Capital expenditure during the quarter was $198,000.
Debt Au Mining Finance Facility
During the quarter the Company negotiated and executed a binding Heads of Agreement with its
largest shareholder, Au Mining Limited (Au Mining), whereby Au Mining would provide a short term
finance facility of $10 million. The key terms of the unsecured finance facility were:
available for drawdown until 31 July 2012 and to be repaid in a lump sum on completion of a
rights issue or by 31 August 2012, whichever is the earlier;
all amounts drawn down to be repaid from the rights issue proceeds or if repaid by other means,
a $2 million early repayment fee will apply; and
interest charged on all drawn amounts at a rate of 15% per annum due in one lump sum upon
principal repayment.
The first drawdown of $3 million took place in early June, and the second of $2 million was scheduled
for mid‐June and conditional upon deferral of royalty payments until October 2013. On 15 June 2012
it was announced that this condition had been waived for the second drawdown however remained
to be fulfilled for any further drawdowns.

www.navigatorresources.com.au 10
Subsequently, this condition was amended and completed with the signing of an agreement with a
private royalty holder for the deferral of the payment of their royalty over the BGP until 31 October
2013. The deferred amount will earn interest at a rate of 12% per annum, calculated monthly and to
be paid in a lump sum at the time of the royalty payment. At the election of the holder, the interest
can be taken in either cash or shares (issued at the same price as the rights issue (see below) but
subject to adjustment necessary for any reconstruction of capital).
A further drawdown of $4.5 million was made on 29 June 2012. On 9 July 2012 it was announced
that the finance facility quantum had increased from $10 million to $13 million, all conditions
precedent had been satisfied and the early repayment fee amended to $2.6 million reflect the
increase in the facility.
Additional amendments to the finance facility were announced on 27 July 2012 including:
an increase in the quantum available from $13 million to $16 million;
an extension of the repayment date to 31 October 2012 or such later date as required to ensure
all required approvals obtained;
an extension of the drawdown date until 30 September 2012; and
increase of the early repayment fee to $3.2 million, reflecting the increase in the facility amount.
Waterton Loan Facility & Gold Supply Agreement
As part of the Au Mining finance facility, the Company has agreed amended terms to the debt facility with Waterton Global Value LP. The loan repayments, which were originally scheduled to comprise 10 equal instalments of US$1.2 million commencing in December 2012 will now be made on the basis of gradually increasing instalment amounts ranging from US$90,000 in December 2012 to US$2.01 million in January 2014. The revised repayment scheduled more closely matches the Company’s cash generation profile. During the quarter, Navigator drew down the balance of the US$12 million facility. In addition to the changes to the debt facility, adjustment was also agreed to the Gold Supply
Agreement between the Company and Waterton. The discount on the settlement price of gold sold
to Waterton has increased from 0.75% to 2% with the difference (ie. 1.25%) payable in three equal
instalments over the three months from November 2013.
Rights Issue On 1 June 2012 the Company announced that it was intending to undertake a rights issue to fund the repayment of the finance facility with Au Mining. Details of the structure and terms of the rights issue were finalised during the month and announced on 9 July 2012. The key terms of the rights issue are: renounceable rights issue to raise approximately $16 million before costs; conditional underwriting of the full amount by Au Mining & associate D&A Income Limited
(together the Underwriters); issue price of 0.1 cents with a pro‐rata entitlement of 7.2 new shares for every 1 share held; and available to eligible shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand.

The obligations of Au Mining and D&A Income Limited to subscribe for the rights issue shortfall arising from the underwriting agreement are conditional upon approval being received for the transaction under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth). A response to the submitted application is expected in early August 2012. Should approval not be received, then the rights issue will not proceed. Subsequent to the announcement of the rights issue and lodgement of the prospectus with ASIC, the Company was requested by ASIC to provide additional information regarding various matters including, but not limited to, the relationship of Au Mining and D&A Income Limited to the Company and the possible control implications arising from the financing and underwriting arrangements. On 27 July 2012 the Company announced that ASIC had advised that it considers the Underwriters are related parties of Navigator and therefore requires the Company to: obtain an independent expert report in relation to the fairness and reasonableness of the rights
issue (and the underwriting arrangements) on all shareholders of the Company; and issue a replacement prospectus with sufficient disclosure of the findings of the expert report. Given ASIC’s requirement to obtain the expert report, the Company advised that the previously announced timetable for the rights issue would be amended to:
Event Date
Record date for determining Entitlements 18 July 2012
Replacement prospectus and Entitlement and Acceptance Forms despatched to Eligible Shareholders

Extraordinary General Meeting
An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders was held on 5 June 2012 to consider resolutions relating to the ratification of previous share issues, together with the election of Guy Walker as a Non‐Executive Director of the Company. All resolutions were passed on a show of hands.
ASIC Infringement Notice
On 15 June 2012 the Company announced that it had complied with an infringement notice issued by the Australian Securities & Investment Commission relating to a market announcement made on 20 June 2011 entitled “Equity Raising and Operational Update”. The infringement notice was based on an allegation that statements in the announcement gave rise to implications which did not reflect the status of the underwriting agreement associated with the rights issue that was being conducted at the time. Whilst not agreeing with the allegations, the Company complied with the notice by paying the penalty of $33,000 in order to conclude the investigation and avoid additional legal costs. Compliance with the infringement notice does not constitute an admission of guilt or liability, nor a finding of any contravention of law.
Trading Halts & Suspension of Shares
The Company requested a halt in the trading of its securities on 25 May 2012 and a voluntary suspension effective from 29 May 2012. Shares remained suspended until details of the rights issue were announced on 9 July 2012. A further trading halt request was submitted on 20 July 2012, pending an update regarding the rights issue, with the Company’s securities moving into voluntary suspension on 24 July 2012 and expected to remain so until completion of the experts report required for the rights issue.
