GENESIS STEPS UP DRILLING AT PUZZLE NORTH FOLLOWING FURTHER OUTSTANDING WIDE INTERCEPTS

Significant new intercepts of up to 69m @ 2.59g/t gold from 21m continue to highlight the exceptional growth potential; 7,500m drill program underway

Key Points:

  • Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling continues to confirm the potential to grow all key deposits that form part of the 1.6Moz Ulysses Gold Project[1] near Leonora in WA and the exciting opportunity to make new discoveries.

  • Further outstanding results received from the Puzzle North discovery, located 700m north of the shallow 59,000oz Puzzle Mineral Resource[1] , with significant new shallow intercepts including:

  • 8m @ 6.30g/t Au from 139m 21USRC913

  • 18m @ 1.29g/t Au from 74m 21USRC918

  • 13m @ 0.86g/t Au from 106m 21USRC918

  • 69m @ 2.59g/t Au from 21m 21USRC919Including 8m @ 11.70g/t Au from 78m

  • 27m @ 1.20g/t Au from 121m 21USRC919

  • 25m @ 0.50g/t Au from 5m 21USRC920

  • 20m @ 1.68g/t Au from 100m 21USRC920

  • 5m @ 1.11g/t Au from 0m 21USRC922

  • 5m @ 1.15g/t Au from 60m 21USRC922

  • 27m @ 1.33g/t Au from 83m 21USRC922

  • 7,500m drill program to be completed at Puzzle North and Puzzle over the next three months to in-fill and extend the known mineralisation.

  • Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth along the granite-greenstone contact.

  • Extensive mineralised corridor extending over a 6km strike length along the Puzzle granite-greenstone contact zone requires systematic drill testing.

Further to its announcement of 15 June, Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) is pleased to advise that it has significantly expanded its planned drilling program at the emerging Puzzle North discovery, part of its 100%-owned 1.6Moz Ulysses Gold Project in Western Australia, after receiving further exceptional drilling results from the area.

The latest results are from RC drilling completed in May 2021 at Puzzle North (Figure 1), located 700m north of the 59,000oz Puzzle deposit. These new results are from the second half of the May 2021 program and follow on from the significant results reported in June (see ASX announcement, 15 June 2021).

Genesis Minerals Limited

1 July 2021

The new results continue to highlight the significant upside potential across the Ulysses Project, including the strong potential to make new discoveries. The drilling completed recently at the Puzzle North discovery is part of an ongoing exploration program building on the recently announced Mineral Resource upgrade (see ASX announcement, 29 March 2021).

Management Comment

Commenting on the latest results, Genesis Managing Director, Michael Fowler, said:

“The Ulysses Project is now moving into a really exciting phase of growth as our exploration drilling advances on multiple fronts. The Puzzle North area in particular has emerged as an exciting new discovery, with wide zones of shallow mineralisation encountered over a significant strike length.

“Drilling re-commenced at Puzzle North last week with both RC and diamond drilling to be completed in enough detail to allow an initial Mineral Resource Estimate as soon as possible. The program has been substantially expanded from 3,000m to 7,500m due to the huge upside we see at Puzzle North and in the broader Puzzle area.

“Our current feasibility work has been delayed due to several issues currently being experienced across the mining industry including contractor and consultant availability, and we now expect to complete the current feasibility work in the next four to eight weeks.”

Puzzle North

Drilling at the Puzzle North discovery, which is located ~700m north of the Puzzle deposit, was completed to follow-up highly encouraging results reported in April 2021 (see ASX announcement, 9 April 2021). The follow-up program consisted of 13 RC holes (21USRC910 to 922) and extensions to 21USRC852 and 21USRC855 were completed in May 2021.

Results from the first part of that program were reported in June 2021 (see ASX Announcement 15 June, 2021), with significant broad zones of gold mineralisation reported including:

o 40m @ 2.52g/t Au from 44m 21USRC911 o 84m @ 1.98g/t Au from 84m 21USRC912Including 10m @ 6.31g/t Au from 116mIncluding 8m @ 5.94g/t Au from 157m o 60m @ 3.03g/t Au from 106m 21USRC855 (extension)Including 8m @ 12.9g/t Au from 126m

Results reported in this release are from holes 21USRC913 and 21USRC918 to 922 from the followup program. The results are shown in plan view in Figures 2 and 4 and in cross-section (local E-W orientated) in Figure 3 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:

o 8m @ 6.30g/t Au from 139m 21USRC913 o 1m @ 1.01g/t Au from 20m 21USRC918 o 18m @ 1.29g/t Au from 74m 21USRC918 o 13m @ 0.86g/t Au from 106m 21USRC918 o 69m @ 2.59g/t Au from 21m 21USRC919Including 8m @ 11.70g/t Au from 78m o 3m @ 0.90g/t Au from 99m 21USRC919 o 27m @ 1.20g/t Au from 121m 21USRC919 o 25m @ 0.50g/t Au from 5m 21USRC920 o 20m @ 1.68g/t Au from 100m 21USRC920 o 5m @ 0.94g/t Au from 15m 21USRC921 o 25m @ 0.88g/t Au from 40m 21USRC921 o 5m @ 0.60g/t Au from 85m 21USRC921 o 7m @ 0.95g/t Au from 98m 21USRC921 o 5m @ 1.11g/t Au from 0m 21USRC922 o 5m @ 1.15g/t Au from 60m 21USRC922 o 27m @ 1.33g/t Au from 83m 21USRC922

Gold mineralisation is constrained to the granite immediately adjacent to the moderately east-dipping granite-greenstone contact. Mineralisation is drill defined over ~400m and is interpreted to be best developed within a zone up to 40 to 80m 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 drilling is required to understand and confirm this interpretation.

Gold mineralisation is associated with increased pyrite content and quartz veining within the hematitesericite altered granite.

The significant mineralisation drilled to date remains open at depth and along strike and has been defined over ~400m of strike. Hole 21USRC922 returned a result of 27m @ 1.33g/t Au from 83m which clearly demonstrates that mineralisation extends to the north along the granite – greenstone contact.

Drilling has re-commenced at Puzzle North and Puzzle and will continue to target extensions at depth and to the north and south of the Puzzle North prospect. 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. A total of 7,500m of drilling is currently planned with a further expansion of the program expected as results come to hand.

Granite-Greenstone Contact

The granite-greenstone contact (see Figures 2 to 4) 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.

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 will include geological mapping, geophysical surveying and air-core drilling which will be followed up by RC drilling as required.

Ulysses Project Upcoming Drilling

Ongoing drilling planned to be completed in the September quarter will include:

  • RC and diamond drilling targeting the potential Admiral deeps high-grade lodes;

  • RC and diamond drilling to extend and in-fill the Puzzle North discovery and extensions and upgrading of the Puzzle Resource;

  • Extensions to the Orient Well March 2021 Resource at depth and along strike;

  • New discoveries within the Orient Well mine environment targeting repetitions of the felsic volcanic host rock;

  • Extensions to the March 2021 Admiral, Clark, Butterfly, King and Butterfly North Resources; and

  • New discoveries within the Admiral-Clark-Butterfly mine environment.

Air-core drilling is continuing targeting the Ulysses to Orient Well mine corridor outside of the known resource areas as well as the Desdemona South JV area.

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).
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.
Puzzle – The majority of drilling was angled towards local grid east (~70°
MGA) and local grid west (250° 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.
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.
All RC analytical samples were fully pulverized at an independent
laboratory 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.
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.
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

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 105°C. A
Boyd crusher crushes the samples to ~10mm. The resulting material is
then passed to a LM5 mill and ground to a nominal 85% passing of 75μm.
The milled pulps are 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 and diamond
sample sequence as part of the QAQC process. CRM’s and blanks were
inserted at a ratio of approximately 1-in-40 samples. Duplicate samples
were submitted at a ratio of approximately 1-in-20 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.

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.
pXRF analyses were undertaken on selected holes.
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 of Genesis drilling was 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. The Puzzle
local grid is used for drill hole planning and collar locations are pegged in
MGA coordinates.
Collar locations were pegged using a handheld Garmin GPS with
reference to known collar positions in the field. At the completion of the
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 the Puzzle 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 for reporting of Exploration
Results.
For RC drilling the hole spacing is variable with collar locations shown.

Data spacing
and
distribution
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 targeted normal to the Puzzle granite greenstone contact.
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.
No audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data were completed.

Acknowledgment
and

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 and Clark deposits occur as a series of mineralised
structures forming two main orientations within a mafic package of basalt,
dolerite and gabbro 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 and Butterfly 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.
Mineralisation at Puzzle is associated with an east dipping granite –
greenstone contact.

metres) of the drill hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o
down

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.

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.
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.
True widths at Puzzle are yet to be determined.
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

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including
(but
not
limited
to):
geological
observations;
