Current Drilling Program
-
RC and diamond program to resume in October at Admiral Deeps with further drilling currently being planned for the Puzzle corridor.
-
Major program comprising 126 air-core holes and 47 RC holes completed in early October at Puzzle South, with assay results awaited.
Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) is pleased to report significant new results from ongoing drilling aimed at growing the resource base at its 100%-owned 1.6Moz Ulysses Gold Project in Western Australia.
RC and limited diamond drilling has continued in the Puzzle and emerging Puzzle North area (Figure 1) targeting extensions to the Puzzle Mineral Resource and in-fill and extensional drilling of the Puzzle North discovery, which has now been defined over a strike length of 500m. Further drilling is currently being planned.
Exciting results have also been received from diamond and RC drilling which has been completed as a limited initial test of the Admiral Deeps mineralisation. An expanded program of diamond and RC drilling will commence in October to systematically evaluate this potentially stacked high-grade mineral system.
The results continue to demonstrate the potential to substantially expand the existing 1.6 million ounce Mineral Resource base at Ulysses.
Management Comment
Commenting on the latest results, Genesis Managing Director, Michael Fowler, said:
“Our expanded drilling programs across the new Kookynie tenements at Ulysses are continuing to deliver exceptional results, providing us with more clear evidence of the strong potential to expand the 1.6Moz Mineral Resource.
“Our systematic approach to exploration is also really paying off, with the latest results providing significant encouragement in the Puzzle and Puzzle North areas and at the emerging Admiral Deeps prospect.
“At Puzzle North, which is a new discovery, we have now defined mineralisation over a 500m strike length, with numerous wide intersections of strong mineralisation encountered from shallow depths and the mineralisation remaining open at depth and along strike.
“Drilling will resume here in November to in-fill and extend the mineralised zone, allowing us to bring this exciting new discovery into our Mineral Resource inventory by the end of the year.
“At Admiral Deeps, resampling of the original intersection of 5m at 60g/t Au has returned a spectacular bonanza grade intercept comprising 4m at 263gt including 1m at 1,049g/t. This result demonstrates the potential high tenor of the mineralisation at this emerging position.
“Drilling will resume here in the coming days to follow up the numerous strong intercepts reported in today’s release. We are looking forward to drilling out this position over the coming months.”

Puzzle Corridor Drilling
Puzzle North
Drilling at the Puzzle North discovery, which is located ~700m north of the Puzzle deposit, was completed to follow-up and extend highly encouraging results reported in April and June 2021. The recent program consisted of 42 RC holes (21USRC1009 to 1050) for 6,150m and two diamond holes (21USDH184 and 185) for 433m. Drilling has been completed on 40m spaced sections, orientated on the local east west grid, with holes spaced 40m to 60m apart on section.
Results reported in this release are from holes 21USRC1009 to 21USRC1038 and 21USRC1043 and 21USDH184 to 21USDH185. The results are shown in plan view in Figures 2 and 6 and in crosssection (local E-W orientated) in Figures 3 to 5 with all holes listed in Table 2.
Drilling was completed to both local grid west (250° MGA) and east (070° MGA) with drilling to grid west to locate the granite greenstone contact. Significant shallow gold results include:

Gold mineralisation is constrained to the granite immediately adjacent to the moderately east-dipping granite-greenstone contact. Mineralisation is interpreted to be best developed within a zone up to 40 to 100m wide, with a north-south orientation and dipping parallel to the granite-greenstone contact.
A potential second orientation may be interpreted normal to the granite-greenstone contact, however more detailed RC and diamond drilling is required to understand and confirm this interpretation. One interpretation may include stacked sub horizontal zones up to 40 to 100m wide and up to 40m thick.
Gold mineralisation is associated with increased pyrite content (occurring as disseminations and veinlets) and quartz veining within the pink red K feldspar rich altered granite.
The significant mineralisation drilled to date remains open at depth and along strike and has been defined over ~500m of strike. Hole 21USRC1026 returned a result of 11m @ 2.13g/t Au from 38m which clearly demonstrates that mineralisation extends to the north along the granite – greenstone contact.
Further drilling is currently being planned to continue testing along the granite greenstone contact at Puzzle North and continue to target extensions at depth.
Further in-fill drilling will also be undertaken to allow a Mineral Resource Estimate to be completed as soon as possible and to better understand the controls on the gold mineralisation.

Granite-Greenstone Contact
The granite-greenstone contact (see Figures 2 to 8) that controls the location of the new Puzzle North discovery and the Puzzle deposit is interpreted to extend over 6km of strike. No significant drilling has been completed along this corridor for nearly 20 years until recent drilling by Genesis.
This extensive mineralised corridor represents a very large target for the discovery of new gold deposits. Exploration in 2021 along this corridor outside of the Puzzle and Puzzle North areas includes geological mapping, geophysical surveying and air-core drilling which will be followed up by RC drilling as required.
A program of air-core (126 holes) and RC drilling (47 holes) was completed in early October at Puzzle South.

Admiral Deeps
A program comprising 6 diamond holes (21USDH181 to 182 and 21USDH186 to 189) for 2,056m including pre-collars and the extension of three RC holes drilled in 2020 (20USRC596 to 598) was completed as an initial test of Admiral Deeps mineralisation which is located ~150m below the Admiral Resource.
The Admiral Deeps drilling program was in part completed to follow-up 21USRC892 which returned a composite result of 5m @ 60g/t Au (see ASX Release 12 May 2021). Resampling of the composite result at 1m split intervals returned a bonanza intersection of 4m @ 263g/t Au from 264m including 1m @ 1049g/t Au from 265m which contained significant coarse gold.
Results are shown in plan view in Figure 9 and Figure 10 shows a cross section of 21USRC892 with all holes listed in Table 2.

The mineralised intervals outside of the Hercules shear are commonly associated with shallow, south east dipping shear zones varying in widths from 1 to +10m with high grade mineralisation associated with up to 5% sulphide (pyrite>>>pyrrhotite) and increased quartz veining with some visible gold observed. From the limited drilling completed to date high-grade mineralisation is developed within the Butterfly dolerite with thicker mineralised intervals potentially occurring within the granophyric part of the dolerite (see Figure 10).
The mineralisation is open and further drilling will target the Admiral Deeps area ~200m to 250m below surface over a 600m (east west) by 200m (north south) area as highlighted in Figure 9 Admiral Deeps target area.
Genesis is targeting to complete a hole as part of the WA Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) prior to Christmas as an initial test ~200m below the current Admiral Deeps target area.
Drilling over the coming months will attempt to establish the continuity and extent of the high-grade mineralisation identified to date. It should be noted that the shallow south east dipping mineralisation has a different orientation to the shallow north east dipping Admiral lode that hosts the majority of the Admiral Mineral Resource. Potential exists for stacked zones of shallow dipping high grade gold mineralisation at shown on Figure 10.
The Hercules shear (see Figures 9 and 10) is located to the north of the high-grade mineralisation associated with Admiral Deeps discovered to date. High grade shears may extend north of the Hercules shear. The Hercules shear dips moderately to the north and occurs within basalts and finegrained sedimentary rocks in the hanging wall of the Butterfly dolerite.

JORC Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Certified Person Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
Sampling was undertaken using standard industry practices with reverse circulation (RC) drilling). All diamond drill holes (DDH) were selectively sampled based on geological logging. The diamond core is oriented, logged geologically and marked up at a maximum sample interval of 1.0m constrained by geological boundaries. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Holes were generally angled to optimally intersect the mineralised zones. Butterfly/Clark - All resource drilling was angled towards local grid west (~240 degrees MGA). Admiral/Hercules Shear – Majority of holes angled towards local grid south (~150 degrees MGA). Orient Well – Majority of holes angled towards local grid west (~230 degrees MGA). Puzzle – Holes angled towards local grid west (~250 degrees MGA) and local grid east (~070 degrees MGA). |
|
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Diamond drilling was completed using a PQ, HQ or NQ drilling bit for all diamond holes. Core selected from geological observation was cut in half for sampling, with a half core sample sent for analysis at measured geological intervals. RC holes were sampled on a 1m basis with samples collected from a cone splitter mounted on the drill rig cyclone. 1m sample ranges from a typical 2.5 - 3.5kg. RC samples were fully pulverized at the lab to -75 microns, to produce a 50g charge for Fire Assay with ICP-MS finish for Au. |
|
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
RC face sampling drilling was completed using a 5.75” drill bit. Drilling was undertaken by Challenge Drilling using a custom-built truck mounted. Diamond Drilling was undertaken by Westralia Diamond Drilling. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
RC sample recoveries were visually estimated to be of an industry acceptable standard. Moisture content and sample recovery is recorded for each RC sample. Core recovery was consistently above 99% in fresh rock and variable in oxide and transitional material. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
The RC samples were dry and very limited ground water was encountered. |
|
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
No bias was noted between sample recovery and grade. | |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
The detail of logging is considered suitable to support a Mineral Resource estimation for the RC drilling. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. |
Logging of lithology, structure, alteration, mineralisation, regolith and veining was undertaken for RC drilling . Photography of RC chip trays and diamond core trays and magnetic susceptibility reading are undertaken during the logging process. |

| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
All drill holes were logged in full. | |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
Half core was sampled except for duplicate samples where quarter core was taken. |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. |
Reverse circulation holes were sampled at 1m intervals collected via a cyclone, dust collection system and cone splitter. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
Samples were analysed at Intertek Genalysis in Perth following preparation in Kalgoorlie. Samples were dried at approximately 120°C with the sample then being presented to a robotic circuit. In the robotic circuit, a modified and automated Boyd crusher crushes the samples to – 2mm. The resulting material is then passed to a series of modified LM5 pulverisers and ground to a nominal 85% passing of 75μm. The milled pulps were weighed out (50g) and underwent analysis by fire assay (method FA50/OE04). |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Genesis submitted standards and blanks into the RC sample sequence as part of the QAQC process. CRM’s were inserted at a ratio of approximately 1-in-40 samples. |
|
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. |
Sampling was carried out using Genesis’ protocols and QAQC procedures as per industry best practice. Duplicate samples were routinely submitted and checked against originals for both drilling methods. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes are considered to be appropriate to correctly represent the style of mineralisation, the thickness and consistency of the intersections. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
Analytical samples were analysed through Intertek Genalysis in Perth. All samples were analysed by 50g Fire Assay. |
| For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. |
No geophysical tools were used to estimate mineral or element percentages. |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
In addition to Genesis’ standards, duplicates and blanks, Intertek Genalysis incorporated laboratory QAQC including standards, blanks and repeats as a standard procedure. Certified reference materials that are relevant to the type and style of mineralisation targeted were inserted at regular intervals. Results from certified reference material highlight that sample assay values are accurate. Duplicate analysis of samples showed the precision of samples is within acceptable limits. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. |
The Managing Director of Genesis and an independent consultant verified significant intercepts. |
| The use of twinned holes. | No twinned holes were completed. | |
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
Logging of data was completed in the field with logging data entered using a Toughbook with a standardised excel template with drop down fields. Data is stored in a custom designed database maintained by an external DB consultant. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. | No adjustments have been made to assay data. | |
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. |
All maps and sample locations are in MGA Zone51 GDA grid and have been measured by hand-held GPS with an accuracy of ±0.5 metres. The Admiral-Butterfly local grid is used for drill hole planning. Collar locations were pegged using a handheld Garmin GPS with reference to known collar positions in the field. At the completion of the RC program the collar locations are surveyed with Rover pole shots using a Leica Captivate RTK GPS (+/-0.1m). |
| Specification of the grid system used. | MGA Zone51 GDA grid used and Admiral-Butterfly local grid . | |
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Drill hole collar RL’s are +/- 0.1m accuracy. Topographic control is considered adequate for the stage of development. |

| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. |
For RC drilling the collar spacing is mostly 40m x 40m/50m. For diamond drilling the collar spacing is variable. |
|---|---|---|
| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. |
The RC drilling has demonstrated sufficient continuity in both geological and grade continuity to support the definition of Mineral Resource, and the classifications applied under the 2012 JORC Code. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
No compositing has been applied. | |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
Holes were generally angled to local grid south (150 magnetic). |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
No orientation-based sampling bias is known at this time. | |
| Sample security |
The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
Chain of custody was managed by Genesis. No issues were reported. |
| Audits or reviews |
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Certified Person Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. |
The Kookynie Gold Project is located over a 60km strike length of the Melita Greenstones on granted mining and exploration licenses with associated miscellaneous licenses. The Orient Well deposit is located on M40/289, M40290, M40/291 and M40/20. The Admiral/Clark and Butterfly deposits are located on Mining Leases M40/101, M40/110, and M40/3. The Ulysses deposit is located on M40/166. The Puzzle deposit is located on M40/164 and 136. |
| The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The tenements are in good standing. | |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
The majority of drilling was carried out by previous operators including A&C, Kookynie Resources, Consolidated Gold Mines, Melita Mining, Diamond Ventures, Dominion Mining and Forrest Gold. Exploration has been ongoing since the 1980’s across the entire Ulysses Project. Several phases of mining and processing operations. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Ulysses Gold Project is located in the central part of the Norseman- Wiluna belt of the Eastern Goldfields terrane. Host rocks in the region are primarily metasedimentary and metavolcanic lithologies of the Melita greenstones. Gold mineralisation is developed within structures encompassing a range of orientations and deformation styles. The Admiral, Butterfly, Clark deposits occur as a series of mineralised structures forming two main orientations within a mafic package of basalt, dolerite and felsic lithologies. The majority of gold mineralisation is hosted in a set of veins and related alteration haloes broadly parallel to the shallow ENE dipping Admiral, Clark, Butterfly and King Shear zones. At Admiral and Butterfly, gold mineralisation is also developed in the steep north dipping, east-west trending Hercules Shear. At Orient Well gold mineralisation is hosted by a quartz veined rhyolite. |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole length. |
Appropriate tabulations for drill results have been included in this release as Table 2. |
| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
Appropriate tabulations for drill results have been included in this release. | |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated |
No top cuts were applied. Intercepts results were formed from weighted averages. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
Maximum of 4m internal dilution was included for Puzzle. | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalent values are currently used for reporting of exploration results. |
|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Only down hole lengths are reported. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Appropriate plans are included in this release. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All exploration results are reported. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results;bulk density, |
No mining has taken place recently. |
