Quarterly Activities Report – June 2012
HIGHLIGHTS
Plavica Au-Ag-Cu Project
-
Planning of a drill-hole program for the 2[nd] quarter of the financial year is progressing.

-
Preparations are in hand to establish a specific gravity database.
-
The appointment of a specialist resource and feasibility company to give advice regarding ongoing work programs.
Gladstone-Mount Miller Mn Project
-
Mount Miller Mining Lease (EA MIN201115110): Agreement reached with both Queensland Main Roads and Queensland National Railways, such that the Mining Lease can be progressed.
-
Diamond drilling program planned at Mount Miller subject to the EPM being exempted from Urban Restricted zoning around Gladstone. Genesis submitted a justification to be exempt from this zone and is still awaiting a reply, although agreed to, in principal by the Government.
Pioneer Au Project

-
Renewal application submitted.
Information in this report that relates to exploration activity and results was compiled under the guidance of John Howard who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Howard has sufficient experience relevant to the styles of mineralisation and to the activities which are being reported to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the JORC code, 2004. Mr Howard consents 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 the joint venture partner of Genesis Resources Limited ( Genesis or the Company ), RIK Sileks AD Kratovo ( Sileks ), for a term of 4 years (Genesis has the right to earn a 62% joint venture interest). The project is made up of 7 exploration licences covering over 184.94 sq km in the Carpathian Volcanic Arc, a major epithermal province running through Eastern Europe, and is highly prospective for gold, copper and silver, lead and zinc mineralisation.
The project was the site of mining activity in Roman times and then again during the 1930s, reputedly of high grade gold. Over eighty, mostly vertical diamond drill-holes by the Yugoslav Government searching for porphyry copper mineralisation, and 10 angled diamond drill-holes by Rio Tinto and European Minerals searching for gold mineralisation, was augmented by Genesis during 2011 with 12 diamond drill-holes. A significant gold-copper-silver resource was defined.
Mineral Resource Estimate
The resource estimate was generated by Mr Alfred Gillman of Odessa Resources Pty Ltd in compliance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2004). The resource was classified as an Inferred Resource due primarily to the 100 x 100m spacing of the majority of drill-holes, doubts about the consistency of the assays and the lack of a coherent geological model to control the grade interpolations and the lack of specific gravity (SG) determinations.
A report was received from Odessa recommending a program of angled drill-holes on a wide-spaced grid which will test the validity of the assay data base. The geological model is being developed using a combination of historical geological logs of the Yugoslav drill core and re-examination of selected, mineralised sections of that core. At this stage of investigation there appears to be both structural and stratigraphic control on the mineralisation, but more work is required. Equipment was purchased to carry out the large numbers of SG measurements required for robust resource estimation. As these and other issues are addressed, the Resource will be elevated to the JORC Indicated Category.
Preliminary mining, metallurgical, environmental and economic analysis encouraged Genesis to seek the advice of a company specializing in feasibility studies. An appointment will be made shortly to assist in the on-going program design appropriate to eventually achieve, if warranted, Final Feasibility status.

EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS DURING THE QUARTER
GLADSTONE-MOUNT MILLER PROJECT: Manganese (GES 100%)
The Gladstone-Mount Miller 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.
On 21 April 2011, the Queensland Government Department of Environment and Resource Management granted an Environmental Authority (Mining Lease) Non Code Compliant Level 2 Mining Project (EA MIN201115110) for the Mount Miller Mine. The required compensation agreement with Queensland National Railways is now ready to be signed and with Queensland Main Roads is already signed. However, as the former Agreement is only valid for six months, activation of the Agreements must wait until the Queensland Government provides clarification of the Urban Restricted zone around the Gladstone Township. The EA will then be activated on the Mineral Lease which covers the Mt Miller Mine.
The diamond drilling program which was planned at Mount Miller to establish the depth and strike extent of mineralisation was again postponed pending the outcome of the application for an Urban Restricted zone exemption.
PIONEER PROJECT: Gold (GES 100%)
The Pioneer Project consists of one granted Exploration Permit Mineral (EPM15619) covering 12.47 square kilometres approximately 70 kilometres by road from Bundaberg via the Bruce Highway in Queensland.
The project lies within the Gaeta Goldfield and has undergone previous exploration for gold, uranium and base metals, with numerous historical gold workings located throughout the area. Historical mining was primarily focused on the Pioneer Reef which was the largest producer, but mining activities also included several other reefs including Gympie, Lord Nelson, West Yorkshire and Happy Jack.
No work was done apart from statutory reporting.
ALICE SPRINGS and ARLTUNGA PROJECTS: Copper, Gold, Iron (GES 100%)
The Alice Springs and Arltunga Projects consist of two Exploration Licences, EL24817 and EL25238 respectively, located approximately 110-155 kilometres northeast from Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
No work was done apart from statutory reporting.
Management plans were prepared and submitted to the Northern Territory Government and negotiations are pending with regard to Aboriginal heritage; however, these applications are on hold pending the Company’s decision to go ahead.
A partial reduction will be submitted for Alice Springs.

The project area contains the Masterton No2 manganese occurrence.
No work was undertaken during the period.
A partial reduction will be submitted for this EL.
LAURA RIVER Au-Pt PROJECT: (EMP15242)
