Quarterly Activities Report – June 2014

HIGHLIGHTS

Plavica Au-Ag-Cu Project

  • No drilling completed during the quarter ended 30 June 2014 ( Quarter ).

  • The first part of the Macedonian Government required Final Feasibility Study ( FFS ) which was submitted to the Government by Genesis JV Partner, RIK Sileks AD, last Quarter, was approved by the Government. The rest of the FFS will be submitted, together with the application for an Exploitation Licence by RIK Sileks AD.

  • A JORC 2012 compliant Inferred Resource is currently being undertaken over Plavica by International Geological & Mining Consultants ( IGMC ).

  • A new zone of mineralisation was identified during reconnaissance mapping some 700m North-East of the main Plavica deposit. Rock chip samples have returned up to 9.66 g/t Au. This zone will be tested once drilling resumes.

EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS DURING THE QUARTER

REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

PLAVICA HIGH SULPHIDATION EPITHERMAL GOLD-COPPER-SILVER PROJECT (Figures 1 & 2)

No drilling was completed during the Quarter. Work has focussed on consolidating the geological interpretation at Plavica and the undertaking of an Inferred Resource compliant with the JORC 2012 code. The Resource is being undertaken by IGMC and will be released in the following Quarter.

The Geological Report and Resource (non JORC Compliant) known as the ‘Elaborate’, compiled by local Macedonian consultants was submitted to the Government of Macedonia by Genesis’ Joint Venture Partner RIK Sileks AD. The Elaborate is the first part to be submitted and it has been approved by the Macedonian Government. The other reports, which comprise the Macedonian FFS when taken collectively with the Elaborate, have been submitted to RIK Sileks AD for review.

Geological mapping around the main Plavica ore zones is ongoing. A new zone of mineralisation exhibiting vuggy silica and limonite after sulphides was discovered approximately 700m NE of the main pod of mineralisation at Plavica (Figure 3) . This zone returned rock chip samples up to 9.66 g/t Au. This zone will be drill tested once extensional drilling resumes at Plavica.

Events during the quarter

Blumont takeover bid: On 9 April 2014, following discussions between Genesis and Blumont Group Ltd (which made an off-market takeover bid offer for all the issued shares of Genesis ( Offer ) under a Bidder’s Statement dated 21 March 2014) about certain aspects of the Offer, and given the Board’s view that it would only be appropriate to issue Genesis’ Target’s Statement in response to the Offer when matters under discussion had concluded, Genesis made an application to Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) for relief to extend the deadline by which Genesis had to send its Target’s Statement to its shareholders from 10 April 2014 to 24 April 2014. Genesis received relief from ASIC on 9 April 2014. On 22 April 2014, Blumont lodged a Second Supplementary Bidder’s Statement advising of an increase to its offer consideration, such that under the varied offer, accepting Genesis shareholders will receive 9.5 Blumont shares for every 2 Genesis shares. Genesis lodged its Target’s Statement with ASX and ASIC on 23 April 2014, and mailed the Target’s Statement to its shareholders on the same day.

Increase in loan facility limit : On 28 April 2014, Genesis (with the consent of Blumont) entered into an deed of vairation with its lender Axle Capital Sdn Bhd to vary the terms of the parties’ existing loan facility agreement.
