Genesis Minerals Limited

13 January 2021

Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) is pleased to advise that ongoing Resource drilling at its Ulysses Gold Project in Western Australia is continuing to deliver outstanding results, confirming the strong potential to expand and upgrade existing Resources within the Ulysses Project (includes all deposits within the Kookynie group of tenements).

Further highly-encouraging results have been received from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling completed prior to Christmas at both the Orient Well and Butterfly-Clark deposits (Figure 1).

The drilling completed at Orient Well is part of a large program designed to significantly expand and upgrade the existing 61,000oz 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 reported in this release in the Clark-Butterfly area focused on an area covering ~600m x 300m. Drilling targeted the Hercules and Clark shears and also focused on upgrading parts of the Inferred Resource at Butterfly. A number of significant results were returned along the Hercules and Clark shears outside of the current resources.

The results reported will feed into updated Mineral Resource estimates 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.

Management Comment

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

“This is a great way to start the New Year, with another batch of impressive assay results from both the Orient Well and Butterfly-Clark areas. At Orient Well, all of the new results are from outside the current 61,000oz Resource and show clear potential to grow this Resource. At ClarkButterfly, recent drilling has focused on the potential of the Hercules and Clark shears and also intersected significant mineralisation outside the known deposits.

“Drilling has now re-commenced across the greater Ulysses Project with one RC rig currently on site. We expect to deliver an updated project-wide Mineral Resource in the first quarter of 2021, which will underpin the completion of a Feasibility Study and provide a solid platform from which to progress the development of a significant new standalone gold mining and processing operation at Ulysses.”

Orient Well Drill Program

The results reported are from the ongoing drilling program at Orient Well and consisted of 14 RC holes for 1,616m (20USRC617 to 620 and 20USRC651 to 660), with the recent drilling forming part of a large program to test over 1.2km of strike. 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-sections (local E-W orientated) in Figures 3, 4 and 5 with all holes listed in Table 3.

The program was designed to reduce drill sections to 25m to 50m spacings with all holes drilled between -50 and -70 degrees towards local grid west. Drilling was designed to intersect the moderateNE dipping Orient Well felsic volcanic.

Significant results included:

  • 5m @ 1.25g/t Au from 95m 20USRC619

  • o 2m @ 0.98g/t Au from 22m 20USRC620 o 5m @ 1.37g/t Au from 60m 20USRC620 o 10m @ 5.85g/t Au from 101m 20USRC620Inc. 3m @ 17.30g/t Au from 107m

  • o 29m @ 1.63g/t gold from 120m 20USRC652Inc. 16m @ 2.74g/t gold from 120m

  • o 4m @ 0.49g/t Au from 0m 20USRC653 o 5m @ 0.68g/t Au from 40m 20USRC653 o 17m @ 0.72g/t Au from 91m 20USRC653 o 10m @ 2.16g/t Au from 123m 20USRC653 o 5m @ 1.30g/t Au from 0m 20USRC655 o 20m @ 0.77g/t Au from 30m 20USRC656 o 5m @ 1.60g/t Au from 45m 20USRC656 o 14m @ 0.71g/t Au from 45m 20USRC657 o 2m @ 24.09g/t Au from 71m 20USRC657 o 14m @ 2.15g/t Au from 26m 20USRC659 o 5m @ 2.02g/t Au from 25m 20USRC660 o 3m @ 5.24g/t Au from 35m 20USRC660 o 5m @ 1.26g/t Au from 45m 20USRC660

20USRC620 returned an outstanding intercept of 10m @ 5.85g/t gold from 101m at the northern end of the Orient Well pit (see Figure 3).

Mineralisation remains untested to the north and at depth of this intercept and this remains a significant drill target. The high-grade mineralisation is associated with quartz veining, silica and sericite alteration within the felsic volcanic.

Significant mineralisation was also intersected in 20USRC652, which returned a broad intercept of 29m @ 1.63g/t gold from 120m (see Figure 4).

Mineralisation remains open and untested at depth in this area.

Gold mineralisation intersected is hosted within the Orient Well felsic volcanic and is associated with increased quartz veining, silicification, sericite and pyrite content.

The potential plunges of the higher grade mineralisation within the felsic volcanic host are moderate (~40 degrees) to the north-east and shallow (~25 degrees) to the south-east.

Significant mineralisation remains open at depth along the entire 1.8km of the previously defined strike extent of the felsic volcanic.

Butterfly and Clark Drilling

The results reported from the ongoing drilling program at Butterfly and Clark consisted of 30 RC holes for 3,674m (20USRC621 to 650), with drilling focused on an area covering ~600m x 300m targeting the Hercules and Clark shears. Drilling also focused on upgrading parts of the Inferred Resource at Butterfly. Hole 20USRC638 was drilled at Butterfly North.

Holes were mostly drilled towards local grid south except for holes specifically targeting the Butterfly shear.

Results are detailed in Table 3 and shown in plan view in Figure 6. Significant results included:

  • 9m @ 1.38g/t Au from 97m 20USRC621

Figure 6. Clark-Butterfly drill hole locations and results. Recent Genesis results in dark yellow and previous results in pale yellow. Position of cross-section 9,850E highlighted.

Drilling targeting the Hercules shear over 600m of strike returned a number of significant results outside of the current Butterfly and Clark resources.

Results reported include 13m @ 1.60g/t Au from 34m in 20USRC631 between Clark and Butterfly and 9m @ 2.59g/t Au from 90m in 20USRC636 immediately north of Butterfly (See Figures 6 and 7). A program of drilling is planned to systematically test the Hercules shear from Clark to Butterfly over 800m of strike.

Hole 20USRC638, drilled at Butterfly North, returned an intercept of 15m @ 1.15g/t Au from 50m. This hole is the first of a number of holes planned to be drilled at Butterfly North to test the Butterfly North dolerite that runs parallel to the Butterfly dolerite which hosts the Admiral, Clark and Butterfly deposits.

Hole 20USRC630 intersected 24m @ 1.01g/t Au from 87m on what is interpreted to be the position of the Clark shear. This intersection is currently interpreted to be some 350m down-dip of the surface expression of the Clark shear which outcrops to the west.

Upcoming Drilling

Drilling recently re-commenced at the Ulysses Gold Project in early January 2021 with one RC rig currently on site.

Drilling in 2021 will continue to target the north-east dipping Admiral, Clark and Butterfly Shears together with north-dipping shear zones running along key lithological contacts, particularly the Hercules Shear.

A major drilling program is also planned at Orient Well in 2021 aimed at expanding the current Resource both at depth and along strike.

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).
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 - All resource drilling was angled towards local grid west (~240
degrees MGA).
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).
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 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 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
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
No core sampled.
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 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 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.
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 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 plans are in MGA Zone51 GDA grid. The Admiral-Butterfly local grid
and the Orient Well local grid are 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 Orient
Well 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 hole spacing is variable with collar locations shown.
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 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.
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
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 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.

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 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
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 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
of
drill
hole
collar
locations
and
appropriate sectional views.
Appropriate plans and figures 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
