This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – OPTIONS ISSUED TO MR TOMMY McKEITH PRIOR TO APPOINTMENT AS NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

1.1 General

On 29 November 2018, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Tommy McKeith as the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company.

On 28 November 2018, prior to the appointment of Mr Tommy McKeith as Non-Executive Chairman, the Company issued 4,800,000 Options to Mr Tommy McKeith.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Options ( Ratification ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

1.2

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) 4,800,000 unlisted Options were issued comprised of the following classes:

  • (i) 1,800,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.049 per Option, fully vested in the holder and expiring on 29 November 2020 ( Class A Options );

  • (ii) 1,500,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.053 per Option, vesting in the holder on 29 November 2019 and expiring on 29 November 2021 ( Class B Options ); and

  • (iii) 1,500,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.056 per Option, vesting in the holder on 29 November 2020 and expiring on 29 November 2022 ( Class C Options );

  • (b) the Options were issued for nil cash consideration prior to the appointment of Mr Tommy McKeith as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company;

  • (c)

  • the Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Options were issued to Mr Tommy McKeith, the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company, who was not a related party of the Company at the time; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from this issue as the Options were issued for nil cash consideration prior to the appointment of Mr Tommy McKeith as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company.

5

Board Recommendation

The Board believes that the ratification of the issue of the Options the subject of Resolution 1 is in the best interests of the Company as it provides the Company with flexibility to issue further shares up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the need for Shareholder approval.

2. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – TRANCHE 1 AND TRANCHE 2 SHARES ISSUED FOR DECEMBER 2018 CAPITAL RAISE

2.1 General

On 14 December 2018, the Company issued 178,571,429 Shares at an issue price of $0.028 per Share to raise $5,000,000.

The shares were issued under the ASX Listing Rules as follows:

  • 87,491,978 shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Tranche 1 Shares ) and are the subject of Resolution 2; and

  • 91,079,451 shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A ( Tranche 2 Shares ) and are the subject of Resolution 3.

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1 above.

Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities, which have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution at the company’s annual general meeting, to issue equity securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

Approval for the 10% Placement Capacity may only be obtained at the company’s annual general meeting. The Company previously received Shareholder approval for the 10% Placement Capacity at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2018.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in section 1.1 above.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval and retain the right to place up to a further 10% of its issued capital under Listing Rule 7.1A.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratifications for Resolutions 2 and 3:

  • (a) 178,571,429 Shares were issued consisting of:

  • (i) 87,491,978 Tranche 1 Shares the subject of Resolution 2; and

  • (ii) 91,079,451 Tranche 2 Shares the subject of Resolution 3;

  • (b) the issue price of:

  • (i) the Tranche 1 Shares the subject of Resolution 2 was $0.028 per Tranche 1 Share; and

  • (ii) the Tranche 2 Shares the subject of Resolution 3 was $0.028 per Tranche 2 Share;

  • (c) the Tranche 1 Shares and Tranche 2 Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

6

  • (d) the Tranche 1 Shares and Tranche 2 Shares were issued to institutional and sophisticated investors. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) the funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares and Tranche 2 Shares were used to fund ongoing resource definition and exploration drilling programs and feasibility study work at the Ulysses Gold Project.

Board Recommendation

The Board believes that the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares and Tranche 2 Shares, the subject of Resolutions 2 and 3 respectively, are in the best interests of the Company as it provides the Company with flexibility to issue further shares up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the need for Shareholder approval and retain the right to place up to a further 10% of its issued capital under Listing Rule 7.1A.

3. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – INITIAL PLACEMENT TO ALKANE RESOURCES LIMITED

3.1 Background

On 2 August 2019, the Company announced a three part capital raising ( Capital Raising ) to issue, in aggregate, up to 365,451,467 fully paid ordinary shares (subject to rounding) at an issue price of $0.032 per Share to raise, in total, up to $11,694,447 (before costs).

As part of the Capital Raising, Australian gold producer Alkane Resources Limited (ACN 000 689 216) ( Alkane ) (ASX: ALK) has agreed to invest up to a maximum of $6,000,000 by subscribing for shares under an initial placement, participating in and partially underwriting an entitlement offer and potentially subscribing for additional shares in a conditional placement.

Following the completion of the Capital Raising, Alkane will become the largest shareholder in the Company. A technical committee with members from Genesis and Alkane will be formed to allow Genesis to leverage Alkane’s operational expertise as required. Subject to certain conditions, Alkane will have the right to appoint a Director to the Genesis Board, and have anti-dilution rights to participate in future equity raisings (subject to the Company obtaining the requisite ASX waiver).

The first part of the Capital Raising was the placement issued on 5 August 2019 of 44,327,199 Shares at an issue price of $0.032 per Share ( Initial Placement ) to Alkane, to raise $1,418,470 (before transaction costs). The Initial Placement was conducted within the Company’s available 15% placement capacity.

Approval Sought

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in section 1.1 above.

The Company is requesting that Shareholders ratify the Initial Placement of 44,327,199 Shares to Alkane for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so that the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to its 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) 44,327,199 Shares were issued;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.032 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

7

  • (d) the Shares were issued to Alkane. Alkane is not a related party of the Company; and

  • (e) as announced on the Company’s ASX platform on 2 August 2019, the Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Initial Placement on the following:

  • (i) exploration work on the Ulysses and Barimaia projects;

  • (ii) feasibility study work on the Ulysses project;

  • (iii) provision of funding for the Company to assess strategic acquisition and growth opportunities in the Leonora region, as they arise; and

  • (iv) to fund general corporate and capital raising costs and general working capital.

Board Recommendation

The Board believes that the ratification of the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company as it provides the Company with flexibility to issue further shares up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the need for Shareholder approval.

4. RESOLUTION 5 – PLACEMENT – CONDITIONAL CAPITAL RAISE PLACEMENT TO ALKANE RESOURCES LIMITED

4.1 Background

The second part of the Capital Raising was the $6,046,363 pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue for one (1) Share for every six (6) Shares held by eligible shareholders at an issue price of $0.032 per Share ( Entitlement Offer ) which is intended to close on 29 August 2019.

Pursuant to a partial underwriting agreement between the Company and Alkane dated 1 August 2019 ( Underwriting Agreement ), Alkane has agreed to partially underwrite the Entitlement Offer up to an amount of $4,229,613. Under the Entitlement Offer and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, Alkane will be allocated any shortfall (that is, those remaining Shares comprising Shareholder entitlements that the Company’s shareholders elect not to take up) up to the maximum underwriting commitment of $4,229,613, and the Company will have the right (at its sole discretion) to allocate any further shortfall to Shareholders that apply to take up more than their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer.

4.2

Conditional Capital Raise

The third and final part of the Capital Raising, as announced on ASX on 2 August 2019, is the proposed issue to Alkane of up to 132,175,411 Shares (subject to rounding) at an issue price of $0.032 per Share to raise up to $4,229,613 ( Conditional Placement ).

The issue of Shares to Alkane under the Conditional Placement is subject to Shareholder approval for the reasons set out below.

If, through the Initial Placement and Alkane’s participation and underwriting of the Entitlement Offer, Alkane has not invested $6,000,000 and Alkane’s shareholding in the Company is less than 15% of the total issued capital in the Company, then the Company will place new Shares under the Conditional Placement and Alkane will subscribe for that number of Shares that will increase Alkane’s investment in the Company to a maximum of 15% of the total issued capital in the Company (subject to a maximum overall investment of $6,000,000).

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 132,175,411 Shares at an issue price of $0.032 per Share to raise up to $4,229,613.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.1 above.

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares pursuant to the Conditional Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

8

4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Conditional Placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 132,175,411;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the issue price will be $0.032 per Share;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued to Alkane. Alkane is not a related party of the Company;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) as announced on the Company’s ASX platform on 2 August 2019, the Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Conditional Placement on the following:

  • (i) exploration work on the Ulysses and Barimaia projects;

  • (ii) feasibility study work on the Ulysses project;

  • (iii) provision of funding for the Company to assess strategic acquisition and growth opportunities in the Leonora region, as they arise; and

  • (iv) to fund general corporate and capital raising costs and general working capital.

Board Recommendation

The Board believes that, subject to no superior competing proposal emerging, the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 5 is in the best interests of Shareholders as it secures a strategic partnership with a prominent and well-regarded Australian gold miner in Alkane, and therefore recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. Each Director that holds Shares in the Company also intends to vote their Shares in favour of Resolution 5. The issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 5, as part of the broader Capital Raising, will de-risk the Company’s balance sheet and provides flexibility to pursue an aggressive exploration, development and growth strategy.
