However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel. If you complete a proxy form that authorises the Chair of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give him directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chair to exercise your proxy on Resolution 1. In accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chairman will vote in favour of Resolution 1. If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct him how to vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the form.
The Company’s Chairman, Mr Eddie Pang, will chair the Meeting and intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each item of business.
If you appoint as your proxy any Director of the Company, except the Chairman, or any other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1, he or she will not vote your proxy on that item of business.

4. APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
| Resolution 5 | Approval of 10% Placement Capacity |
|---|---|
| General | Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible small and mid-cap ASX-listed entities, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities of up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by way of placements over a 12 month period, in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (10% Placement Capacity). The Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this resolution will be to allow the Directors, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 5 is aspecial resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the meeting must be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed. |
| Eligibility | ASX-listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, and which are not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index will be considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. As at 3 October 2016, the Company’s indicative market capitalisation is $13,869,799 (based on a closing share price of $0.03 on 3 October 2016). As Genesis’ market capitalisation is less than $300 million, and Genesis is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, the Company is considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. |
| Formula | The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined by a formula set out ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows: (A x D) - E Where: Ais the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2; plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months (there are presently no partly paid shares on issue in the Company); plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and less the number of shares cancelled in the previous 12 months. ‘A’ has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity Dis 10%. Eis the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. |

|---|---|
| of issue | Rule 7.1A, including a limitation on the discount to prevailing market price at which they |
| under the | may be issued, and additional disclosure requirements. A summary of these conditions is |

| securities already quoted. At the date of this Notice, the Company only has one class | |
| of securities which are quoted, being ordinary shares. |
-
(b) The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) for Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either:
-
i. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the securities are issued.
-

INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO SHAREHOLDERS UNDER ASX LISTING RULE 7.3A
| Minimum issue price |
The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either: i. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the securities are issued. |

| Risk of dilution to shareholders |
If Resolution 5 is approved by shareholders, any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity may present a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing shareholders, including the risk that: the market price of the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the relevant issue date than on the date of this Annual General Meeting; and the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date. The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of: an issue price of $0.03 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 3 October 2016; and |

The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking). |
| Reason for issue of shares under 10% Placement Capacity |
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes: (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources, assets and investments, in which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or (b) cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future exploration activities both locally and in Macedonia, appraisal of corporate and exploration opportunities, investment in new ventures (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working capital. The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities. |
| Allocation policy |
The Company may not issue any or all the Equity Securities for which approval is given and may issue the Equity Securities progressively as the Company places the Equity Securities with investors. The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors such as: 1. fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time; 2. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; 3. the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for funds; and 4. advice from the Company’s corporate, financial, legal and broking advisers. The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. It is intended that the allottees will be suitable professional and sophisticated investors, and other investors not requiring a disclosure document under section 708 of the Corporations Act, that are known to the Company and/or introduced by third parties. The allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders, but it is not intended that the allottees will be related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. In the event that the shares under the 10% Placement Capacity are issued as consideration for the acquisition of resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of such resources, assets or investments. |

As the joint venture party responsible for managing the Plavica Project, the Company is seeking to raise capital under the Proposed Placement to meet its obligations under its joint venture agreement with Sileks to undertake infill and extensional drilling and complete a feasibility study in respect of the exploitation licence area (as required to obtain funding for mine development). Genesis expects to complete the proposed infill and extensional drilling and the feasibility study within 2.5 years of the JV Company being granted the exploitation licence, and has agreed to commit up to US$7.5M for such activities. |
