Events during reporting period

Takeover Bid

Prior to the commencement of the reporting period, in April 2012, Clancy Exploration Limited (Clancy) announced a conditional takeover offer to acquire all the shares in the Company (Clancy Offer). The Board reviewed the Clancy Offer, and commissioned an independent expert which concluded that the Clancy Offer was neither fair nor reasonable to Genesis shareholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommended that all Genesis shareholders reject the Clancy Offer. The Clancy Offer closed during the period on 20 August 2012 with the result that Clancy acquired approximately 8.92% of Genesis' share capital.

Capital Raising

1) Placement to strategic investor – On 9 August 2012, the Company completed the issue and allotment of 11,863,548 shares to a strategic sophisticated investor based in Malaysia, S Active Holding Sdn Bhd at an issue price of \$0.12 per share. The Company raised \$1,423,625 under the placement, with the objective of using such funds to progress the Company's ongoing exploration activities associated with its Plavica Project in Macedonia.

  • 2) Rights Issue During the period, the Company completed a fully underwritten pro-rata nonrenounceable rights issue (on a 1-for-3 basis), under which it raised approximately \$2.74 million through the issue of 30,494,892 shares at \$0.09 per share.
  • 3) Placement to various sophisticated investors In December 2012, the Company raised a further \$1.8 million through a placement of 18,000,000 shares to number of sophisticated investors at an issue price of \$0.10 per share.

Appointment of Scoping Study Consultant

In August 2012, the Company appointed Golder Associates Pty Ltd as a consultant to undertake a scoping study for the Plavica Project, focused on moving Genesis towards a prefeasibility study stage, and subsequently to a final feasibility study. The scoping study comprises of mine planning, mineralogy and metallurgy, financial analysis, geology, tailings, and the environmental and social impact on the region.

Appointment of Drilling Contractor

In August 2012, Genesis appointed Spektra Jeotek Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Spektra), a drilling company based in Turkey, to complete a drilling program at the Plavica Project. The drilling program included a minimum of 7,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling and 2,500 meters of diamond core drilling, and commenced in September 2012.

Incorporation of Macedonian subsidiary

On 24 July 2012, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis Resources International Dooel Skopje ("GRI"), which will be the operating vehicle for the Company's Plavica Project, and which will manage the Company's interests and activities in Macedonia.

Shareholder requisition for 2013 EGM

After the Company's 2012 AGM on 26 November 2012, the Company received a notice under section 249D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) from a shareholder holding at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting of the Company, requesting that the Company hold a general meeting of shareholders to consider a number of resolutions. In accordance with its statutory obligations under the Corporations Act, the Board despatched a notice of extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on 17 December 2012.

The extraordinary general meeting was held after the period on 16 January 2013, and all resolutions proposed were passed on a show of hands.

Change of registered office

In December 2012, the Company changed its registered office and principal place of business address to Level 1, 61 Spring Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000.

Events after balance date

Drilling Agreement with Spektra

After the period, the Company entered into a further agreement with its Spektra to bolster the Company's ongoing drilling program at the Plavica Project. Spektra had previously been contracted to undertake a minimum of 7,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling and 2,500 meters of diamond core drilling at the Plavica Project. Under the new agreement, the Company contracted Spektra to undertake a minimum of 22,000 metres of diamond core drilling and 44,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling in 2013.

The Board expects that the drilling under the new agreement will be at a cost of approximately \$6 million over the term of the agreement, which is expected to be around 12 months.

This aggressive drilling program is designed to progress the Plavica Project towards a final feasibility study.

Review of Operations

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the Company during the period were exploration for and evaluation of gold, manganese and base metals. There was no significant change in the nature of the Company's activities during the period.

On 24 July 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary, GRI was incorporated. It will be the operating vehicle for the Plavica project and also manage the Company's interests and activities in Macedonia.

Other than as stated above, there have been no significant changes in principal activities.

PLAVICA PROJECT: Gold, Copper, Silver (62%)

(Figure 1)

The Company's main exploration focus during the half year was at Plavica within the Republic of Macedonia where Genesis has the right to earn a 62% joint venture interest. Plavica has a JORC Inferred Resource of greater than 57Mt containing 1.65M oz Au in addition to silver and copper. In 2010 the Ministry of Economics within the Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) granted seven contiguous concession licences over the Plavica Project to Genesis Resources' JV partner RIK Sileks AD Kratovo ("Sileks") for a term of 4 years. The project covers an area of 184.94 km2 in a region that is highly prospective for gold, copper and silver mineralisation.

During the period, 23 Reverse Circulation (RC) and 3 Diamond Drill holes were drilled for totals of 4,695m of RC and 936m of diamond respectively. Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 2 whilst Table 1 provides details of drill hole coordinates, azimuths, inclinations and depths. Drilling commenced in the latter part of October and was terminated in mid-December with the onset of winter snow.

The RC samples have been sampled in 5m composite zones by a technique known as Spear Splitting and these samples are being despatched to the SGS Ankara laboratory for fire assay of gold content

and ICP-OES analysis of silver, copper, lead, zinc and arsenic as well as 29 other elements. Analytical results from these samples are expected in late February/March. Core splitting is due to commence in early February as will preparation of 1m splits from the RC drill samples.

Every hole was successful in intersecting mineralisation and drill holes RP-008A and RP-009A encountered deep zones of oxidation. A variety of drill hole azimuths were trialled so that the optimal drill direction for intersecting mineralised veins could be determined. This approach was instituted on observations of oxidised mineralised zones freshly cut by the bulldozer around the drill pads and by geological traverse in areas of deeper erosion. Two dominant mineralised directions were determined: east-west and 60-240 degrees. The drill hole azimuth of 150 degrees is drilled perpendicular to the 60- 240 degree trend and this drill hole azimuth appears to intersect mineralised zones as well as zones of deep oxidation (e.g. in RP-009A from surface to total depth of 250m) .

In excess of 46,000m of RC and 23,000m of diamond core drilling is planned for 2013.

ARLTUNGA PROJECT: Copper, Gold, (GES : 100%)

1. Introduction

The Arltunga Gold Project, EL25238, is located approximately 110 kilometres northeast of Alice Springs (Figure 3) in the vicinity of the Arltunga Goldfield. Thirty three historical gold mines and prospects are known in the licence area.

A program of electrical profiling (CSAMT) was carried out during December 2012 guided by previously acquired Genesis electrical survey data (GAIP) over the known gold mineralisation (Figure 4).

The survey method was tested at a known occurrence of sulphide mineralisation, which was found by historical prospecting to contain 132g/t gold, and was effective. Subsequently, thirteen lines were surveyed with CSAMT stations at 25m spacing for a total of 5 line kilometres. The lines highlighted significant low resistivity anomalism.

2. Geological background

The primary geological model which determined the choice of the latest electrical survey was the association of massive pyrite with high grades of gold. Specifically, at the Wheal Fortune Mine, it was noted by Matthews in 1905 that an inclined shaft sunk 36m had intersected the reef at depth and cut "almost solid iron pyrites", with a sample of the massive sulphide-quartz ore returning 132g/t Au (Matthews, 1905, p4 and Hossfeld, 1937, p12). These references, combined with Google Earth and modern aerial photography allowed an accurate plot of the location of the mineralisation.

Genesis Resources Limited

Financial Report for the half-year ended 31 December 2012

Geological interpretation suggests there are granite intrusions at relatively shallow depth which may provide mineralising solutions capable of developing a large deposit of gold. This style of mineralisation has the potential to yield a gold discovery of significant grade and dimensions.

Unlike the GAIP method, the Controlled Source Audio Magneto Telluric method (CSAMT) survey employed here outlined the source of electrical conductivity anomalies in profile (3D) and thereby accurately defined targets for drilling.

3. CSAMT survey results

The survey team (Zonge Engineering & Research Organisation) reported that the quality of the data received from the survey equipment was very good giving high background resistivity and good contrast for conductivity and low resistivity measurements. The location of each survey line is shown on GAIP resistivity maps (Figures 5 and 6).

Anomalies with significant gold mineralisation potential were found:

  • below known gold quartz-reef-type 'veins',
  • below newly discovered interpreted 'veins', and
  • within wide, long, deep, low electrically resistive zones, possibly caused by alteration.

Resistivity inversion modelling for each anomalous line is presented as stacked profiles in Figures 7 and 6 and is discussed below.

(i) Wheal Fortune Main Reef (figure 7) - the first line at 7411750N confirmed the efficacy of the CSAMT method over the established position of massive sulphide in a shaft as discussed above. An anomaly was defined which coincided with the sulphide occurrence on this line and on the adjacent lines 50m to the north and south, suggesting the sulphide is likely to occur in a vein at least 50m long but open in both directions. It was associated with a fault which showed a marked vertical displacement.

  • (ii) Significant anomalism was found at two other historical gold diggings:
  • Wheal Fortune Eastern Reef (Figure 7, 7411650N) at 100m depth, and
  • Magdala (Figure 7, 7411450N) a 50m wide, shallow anomaly which is possibly oxidised and a deeper, vertical fault-controlled sulphide feature, possibly extending to 250m below surface and beyond.
  • (iii) Significant anomalism interpreted as a 'veins' was also mapped at the new gold occurrence (5.16 g/t) found by Genesis at a GAIP conductivity/resistivity anomaly:
  • B2-IP10 - (Figure 8, 7412900N)-a vertical to steeply easterly dipping 'vein' of 75-100m depth extent.
  • (iv) Several steeply dipping 'veins' were mapped to the west and east of the B2-IP10 anomaly on Line 7412900N (Figure 7) and on Line 7412500N.

(v) A broad zone of low resistivity in the west and northwest on the Eastern GAIP survey (Figure 5) was investigated by two CSAMT lines (7412000N & 7412300N), each of which showed intense high conductivity anomalism (Figure 7); the resistivity map shows the potential for a strike length of this feature of greater than 1.1km. It may represent a significant shear with clay or sulphide alteration possibly with associated gold mineralisation extending to greater than 250m depth. Similar low resistivity features were observed on the Western GAIP survey at 474500E/7412800N and 474700E/7412200N (Figure 4).

It should be noted that, until a representative suite of these CSAMT features have been drilled the source of the anomalies remains uncertain.

It is planned to carry out a programme of field mapping and drilling.

ALICE SPRINGS PROJECT: Copper, Gold, Iron (GES 100%)

The Alice Springs Project consist of Exploration Licence EL24817, located approximately 110-155 kilometres northeast from Alice Springs in the Northern Territory (Figure 3).

Geochemical results were received from a soil sampling program over the Alice Springs EL. Several significant anomalies were found along the Cadney Fault Zone in Cu, Au, Ag and U as shown in Figures 9 - 12). Further soil sampling is planned.

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 (Figure 3).

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, whilst the agreement with Queensland Main Roads is already signed. The Board has decided not to activate the Agreements as the Queensland Government has not provided clarification of the Urban Restricted zone around the Gladstone Township.

The licence renewal is awaiting confirmation from mining registrar.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by GES at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which GES has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.

4. Going concern

For the six months ended 31 December 2012, the Group reported a net loss of \$949,393, had net cash outflow from operating activities of \$741,474 and had net current assets of \$3,870,107 at the balance sheet date. Mining and exploration licences held by the Group have total expenditure obligations of \$878,545 (Note 10) to maintain their "good standing" status. Failure to meet individual tenement obligations requires explanation to the relevant government authority and may result in a loss of tenements. In addition to these known obligations, the Company plans to meet the conditions of the joint venture agreement by paying for all work expenditures up to the completion of the final feasibility study to earn a 62% interest in the Plavica project in Macedonia; these expenditures are forecasted to be approximately \$8 million in the next twelve months and largely relate to drilling costs.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful completion of a plan to raise additional capital via a placements of shares and/or other capital raising, and the sale of surplus assets, combined with strict cost management over administrative spending, to finance planned ongoing exploration activities and meet its tenement and administrative expenditure obligations.

As a result of these matters, there is material uncertainty as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The directors believe that the Group will be successful in obtaining the required funding to meet the expenditure obligations and, accordingly, have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.

5. Segment information

The Group has reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group's business units.

The two business units are managed separately because they are regulated under different authorities. For each of the business units, the Group's Board of Directors, which acts as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, reviews internal reports on at least a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's reportable segments:

  • Australia: includes copper, iron, gold, manganese and other base metal exploration projects in the Northern Territory and Queensland.
  • Macedonia: includes a gold and base metal exploration project.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. As both segments are in the early stages of exploration, there is no associated segment profit or loss, as expenditure is capitalised in accordance with the company's accounting policy. Comparative segment information has been represented in conformity with the requirement of Accounting Standard AASB 8 Operating Segments.
