Information in this report that relates to exploration activity and results was compiled by Dr A John Parker who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and by Dr Kerim Sener, who is a member of the Geological Society of London and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. Dr Parker and Dr Sener are non-executive directors of Genesis Resources Limited and have sufficient experience relevant to the styles of mineralisation and to the activities which are being reported to qualify as Competent Persons as defined by the JORC code, 2004. Dr Parker and Dr Sener consent to the release of the information compiled in this report in the form and context in which it appears.
PLAVICA PROJECT, MACEDONIA
EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS DURING THE QUARTER
PLAVICA PROJECT: Gold, Silver and Copper (GES earning 62%)
The Ministry of Economics within the Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) has granted 7 concession licences over Plavica Project to Genesis Resources’ JV partner RIK Sileks AD Kratovo (“Sileks”) for a term of 4 years (GES has the right to earn a 62% joint venture interest). The project is made up of 7 exploration licences covering over 184.94 km[2] in the Carpathian Volcanic Arc, a major epithermal province running through Eastern Europe, and is highly prospective for gold, copper and silver mineralisation.
Plavica has an Inferred Mineral Resource (JORC Code-compliant) of:
| Element | Million Tonnes |
Average Grade |
Top Cut | Status | Contained Metal | Contained Metal | Contained Metal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ounces | kg | lbs | |||||
| Gold | 57.24 | 0.9 g/t | 5 g/t | Inferred | 1,656,198 | 51,514 | |
| Silver | 15.3 g/t | 50 g/t | Inferred | 28,237,764 | 878,29 | ||
| Copper | 0.282 % | 0.9 % | Inferred | 16,140,898 | 32,679,184 |
During the quarter, the company undertook further reviews of historical data and reconstructed two geological cross-sections through the Plavica deposit in order to assist with drill hole planning. Final planning for a drilling programme on Plavica was also underway during the quarter and an agreement reached with Spektra Jeotek A.S. of Turkey to complete a 2,500m drilling programme on the project. This programme is at an advanced stage of planning and permitting, and the Company intends to commence drilling as soon as permits are received from the relevant authorities. The programme has been designed to test a part of the current Inferred resource and to undertake new exploration drilling along zones of vughy silica alteration in the vicinity of Plavica Peak.

EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS DURING THE QUARTER
GLADSTONE-MOUNT MILLAR PROJECT: Manganese (GES 100%)
The Gladstone-Mount Millar Project consists of Exploration Licence (EPM15771) and Mining Lease Application (MLA80166) and is located approximately 15 kilometres by road from the port of Gladstone on the east coast of central Queensland.
The largest mine on the tenements controlled by Genesis was at Mount Miller. The mine opened in 1895 and operated intermittently until 1916 and then from 1958 to 1960. A total of 21,785 tonnes of ore was mined with a grade which ranged from 71% to 75% MnO2.
A Mining Lease Application (MLA80166) has been lodged over the Mount Millar Mine area and is currently being assessed by the Queensland Government. All objections have now been removed and the Land Court Member is considering the Mining Lease Application. A determination is imminent.

ALICE SPRINGS PROJECT: Copper, Gold, Iron (GES 100%)
The Alice Springs Project consists of one granted Exploration Licence (EL24817) and is located approximately 155 kilometres by road from Alice Springs via the Stuart Highway.
Previous exploration by Genesis and other explorers has identified high grade copper mineralisation over a number of areas up to 30% Cu. The copper appears to be structurally controlled and associated with magnetite enrichment in some areas.
-
A field visit was made to the licence using a helicopter as heavy rains in the Alice Springs area precluded ground access.
-
Each of the anomalies chosen on geophysical and geochemical grounds was briefly visited. Good potential exists for significant tonnages of low grade iron ore with some high grade ore also likely. Ground geophysical surveys and some development of access tracks are necessary before drilling.
-
Drilling program budgeted for coming field season.
-
An application for renewal, which seeks to retain 64% of the area, has been submitted to the NT Government. Expenditure to date has exceeded the covenanted amount.

McARTHUR RIVER PROJECT: Manganese (GES 100%)
The McArthur River project is located approximately 850 kilometres south east of Darwin in the Northern Territory and 450 kilometres north-west of Mount Isa in Queensland.
The project area contains the high grade Masterton No2 manganese occurrence. Previous reviews of the available geophysical and geological data and subsequent reconnaissance rock chip sampling have confirmed the location and tenor of the manganese mineralisation. It is believed that the manganese mineralisation is structurally controlled and podiform similar to the Woodie Woodie manganese deposits.
-
Farm in proposals have been considered from two companies.
-
An alternate exploration program including drilling is being planned by Genesis.
FENN GAP PROJECT: Iron Ore, Manganese (GES 100%)
The Fenn Gap project is located approximately 25 kilometres south west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The project is close to major infrastructure such as the Stuart Highway and the Alice Springs to Adelaide Railway.
Quarterly Activities Report January-March 2011
Page 3
Previous exploration by Genesis has identified moderate to high grade iron up to 57.7% Fe cropping out over a strike length of 9.9 km with moderate to high grade manganese in the Table Prospect area.
Eleven RC drill holes were completed targeting iron ore targets identified through surface mapping and a gravity survey.
Manganese targets may remain for later investigation.
A 50% reduction of area has been submitted for consideration by the NT Government. All prospective units are still held.
ARLTUNGA PROJECT: Gold-Copper (GES 100%)
The Arltunga gold project is located some 110 kilometres north east of Alice Springs and encompasses most of the Arltunga gold field. Arltunga Goldfield has been subject to small scale historical mining activities from the late 1800s to mid 1900s, and again in the 1980s, producing approximately 15,400 oz of gold, primarily from high grade quartz reefs. The Exploration License hosts 33 historical gold mines and prospects with significant gold assays up to 53g/t from rock chip sampling around old mine workings and pyritic-quartz veins.
-
A field visit was made to the short-listed exploration targets using a helicopter as heavy rains in the Alice Springs area precluded ground access.
-
Gradient array IP maps have highlighted good potential for high grade gold in quartz veins associated with sulphides.
-
Drilling program budgeted for coming field season.
-
An application for renewal and waiver of reduction has been submitted to the NT Government.
