  • Work well advanced on an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Ulysses Gold Project which is on track for Q1 2021.

Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) is pleased to advise that ongoing drilling at its 1.28Moz Ulysses Gold Project in Western Australia is continuing to deliver highly encouraging results as it closes-in on a project-wide Mineral Resource update due before the end of Q1 2021.

The latest results, which include some standout high-grade intercepts at the Clark deposit and the Ulysses deposit, continue to confirm the strong potential to expand and upgrade existing Resources within the Ulysses Project (including all deposits within the recently acquired Kookynie group of tenements).

1 Refer to Table 1 of this announcement for details of the Resource estimate for the Ulysses Gold Project ABN: 72 124 772 041 ASX Code: GMD Unit 6, 1 Clive St www.genesisminerals.com.au West Perth, WA, Australia, 6005 T: +61 8 9322 6178

Genesis Minerals Limited

23 March 2021

Further results have been received from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling completed at the Clark deposit and at the cornerstone Ulysses deposit (Figure 1).

The drilling completed at Clark is part of an ongoing program designed to expand and upgrade the Clark Mineral Resource, with results received to date demonstrating strong potential to grow the existing Resource. All of the results in this release are from areas outside the current Resource.

Drilling results reported in this release from the Ulysses deposit focused on an area that will potentially form part of an open pit cut-back.

The results reported for Ulysses will form part of the updated Mineral Resource estimate that will underpin the Feasibility Study on the development of a significant standalone gold operation at Ulysses, with ore to be sourced from a combination of known underground and open pit Resources. The results from Clark will not be included in the updated Resource due out shortly.

Management Comment

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

“It’s great to see consistently strong results being generated by our ongoing drilling campaign at Ulysses, including some high-grade hits from the Clark and Ulysses deposits as part of this latest batch of results.

“Work is now well advanced on an updated project-wide Mineral Resource estimate which we expect to finalise and report to the market shortly. That will include the results from the Ulysses deposit reported in this announcement but not the new results from Clark. The updated Mineral Resource will in turn form the basis of a Feasibility Study on a standalone mining and processing operation which we expect to deliver next quarter.

“In the meantime, drilling is continuing on site focused on growing our Mineral Resource inventory at Ulysses. This two-pronged approach of pursuing development studies in parallel with resource expansion, step-out and exploration drilling should continue to deliver strong news-flow and, we believe, a compelling growth story for Genesis in a Tier-1 mining district.”

Clark Drill Program

The results reported in this announcement are from the ongoing drilling program at Clark and consisted of eight RC holes for 1,392m (21USRC782 to 788 and extension of 20USRC638), with the recent drilling forming part of a program to expand the Mineral Resource. The results reported in this release are all from outside the current Resource and are highlighted below in plan view in Figure 2 and in cross-section (local E-W orientated) in Figure 3 with all holes listed in Table 3.

The program was designed to continue to test the Clark shear down-dip as well as the Hercules shear between Clark and Butterfly.

Significant results included:

  • 5m @ 2.08g/t Au from 45m 21USRC784

  • o 3m @ 5.51g/t Au from 113m 21USRC784 o 5m @ 1.47g/t Au from 20m 21USRC785 o 12m @ 1.87g/t Au from 71m 21USRC785 o 9m @ 0.89g/t Au from 65m 21USRC786 o 2m @ 1.81g/t Au from 82m 21USRC786 o 4m @ 14.91g/t Au from 117m 21USRC786Including 1m @ 54.4g/t Au from 117m

  • o 3m @ 1.97g/t Au from 133m 21USRC788 o 30m @ 0.59g/t Au from 230m 21USRC788

  • Including 9m @ 1.11g/t Au from 251m

  • o 20m @ 1.46g/t Au from 215m 20USRC638 (ext)

Hole 21USRC786 returned a high-grade intercept of 4m @ 14.91g/t gold from 117m down-dip, outside of the current Mineral Resource (see Figure 2).

Mineralisation remains open down-dip to the north-east in the footwall of the Hercules shear and open to the south (see Figure 3).

Hole 20USRC638 was extended in early 2021 to test the Hercules shear at depth. A highly encouraging result of 20m @ 1.46g/t Au from 215m was returned. Figure 4 shows the position of the intercept on the Hercules shear. There is no drilling at this depth outside of this intercept along the known 1.8km strike length of the Hercules shear. The previous deepest intercept is~120m below surface in the Admiral deposit.

The mineralisation on the Hercules shear in this area is considered to be open both along strike and at depth.

Future drilling will continue to target extensions to both the Clark and Hercules shears.

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

that
has
inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual

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 and Swick Drilling using
custom-built truck mounted rigs.
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 and diamond 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 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

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 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.
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.
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

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
Admiral-Butterfly 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
RC and diamond 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 Butterfly - Admiral local grid and the
Ulysses 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 and diamond 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 mineralised structures.
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.

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 Kookynie
Project. Several phases of mining and processing operations.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.
The Kookynie 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.

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 2m 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

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 are 80 to 95% of
downhole lengths.
All drill holes are angled to be approximately perpendicular to the
orientation of the mineralised trend.
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

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.
