Resolution 5 – Appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as Company Auditors

The Board of Genesis Resources Limited has undertaken a review of the current auditor position. The Company had no specific reason to replace the auditors Grant Thornton Australia other than the fact that the timing seemed appropriate, given the anticipated growth of the Macedonia tenements to engage a large, experienced audit firm with international experience and exposure and the location of the Chairman and Corporate Advisers will make it easier to deal with the Auditors.

PricewaterhouseCoopers were the successful firm to be appointed following the review.

Following completion of that review process, the following has taken place:

  • (i) Grant Thornton Australia is in the process of applying to the ASIC for consent to resign effective immediately; it is anticipated that Grant Thornton Australia resignation will take effect from the day on which ASIC gives its consent. The Company's expectation is that ASIC's consent will be forthcoming prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting;
  • (ii) Genesis Resources Limited has received written notice of PricewaterhouseCoopers nomination as auditor from a Shareholder of the Company In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, a copy of the nomination is attached to this Notice of Meeting for the AGM to be held on 19 November 2010; and
  • (iii) Genesis Resources Limited has received PricewaterhouseCoopers consent to act as the Company's auditor on the basis that ASIC approve the resignation of Grant Thornton Australia.

The Board recommends Shareholders pass the resolution to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers as Auditor of Genesis Resources Limited following the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers through an audit review process.
