Quarterly Activities Report – March 2014

HIGHLIGHTS

Plavica Au-Ag-Cu Project

  • No drilling completed during the Quarter, all outstanding drilling assays for 2013 were returned.

  • Highlights include 54m @ 3.51 g/t Au, 2.79 % Cu and 72m @ 1.47 g/t Au

  • Work was completed on the Macedonian Government required Final Feasibility Study (FFS) which will convert the main Plavica tenement into a 30 year Exploitation Licence and deliver 62% of the Project to Genesis Resources. The FFS was presented to Genesis JV Partner, RIK Sileks AD, who in turn have submitted the first part of this to the Macedonian Government for review.

EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS DURING THE QUARTER

REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

PLAVICA HIGH SULPHIDATION EPITHERMAL GOLD-COPPER-SILVER PROJECT (Figure 1)

During the quarter all remaining assays from the 2013 drilling campaign were returned. Drilling was suspended late last Quarter due to the onset of snow and sub-zero temperatures. The Plavica Ridge area is now drilled out to an approximate 100m (E-W) X 50m (N-S) spacing.

Samples were assayed on a 1m basis and were sent to either SGS Laboratories in Ankara or SGS Laboratories in Bor, Serbia. Results were returned for core holes PNDD009-010 and PNDD036-043 and RC holes PNRC028030, PNRC032-041, PNRC043-45, PNRC047, PNRC050, PNRC054-055, PNRC057-058, PNRC060-067, PNRC073-076, PNRC078-085, PNRC087 and PNRC094.

A number of holes intersected very encouraging results. Results from the main Plavica Zone, on the eastern part of the ridge, include:

PNDD036: 72m @ 1.47 g/t Au from 34m PNRC075: 47m @ 1.29 % Cu, 0.29 g/t Au from 101m

Results to the west of the main zone include:

PNRC055: 54m @ 3.51 g/t Au, 10.8 g/t Ag, 2.79% Cu, 1.08 % Zn from 54m Including: 12m @ 12.41 g/t Au, 21.8 g/t Ag, 3.78 % Cu, 1.28 % Pb and 1.73 % Zn from 107m PNRC057: 39m @ 2.78 g/t Au, 34.1 g/t Ag, 0.48 % Cu and 1.72 % Pb from 24m

Results to the east of this main zone include:

PNDD043: 34m @ 2.00 g/t Au, 8.0 g/t Ag and 0.29 % Cu from 111m

Drilling beneath the main zone of mineralisation at Plavica was unsuccessful and it appears the feeder zone has

been faulted off. The Western and Eastern extents / pods of mineralisation, mentioned above, remain open at depth and along strike. More drilling is planned here in 2014.

Results for 2 more core holes at Maricanski Rid, 800m to the south of Plavica, were also returned and include:

MRDD004: 17m @ 1.05 g/t Au and 15.1 g/t Ag from 204m MRDD005: 11m @ 1.29 % Cu , 0.71 g/t Au and 146.2 g/t Ag from 259m

Hole MRDD005 was drilled away from the main ridge and further drilling is required here to understand the geology and controls on mineralisation. More drilling at Maricanski Rid is planned in 2014.

All results received during the Quarter are shown in Table 1 (Core) and 2 (RC) and the collars of these holes are shown in Figure 3. Co-ordinates for these holes are given in the previous Quarterly Reports at the time of drilling. Figure 4 shows a section through the western zone of mineralisation highlighting the best hole received in the Quarter, PNRC055.

The Company has employed the services of IGMC to complete a 2012-JORC-Compliant Resource over Plavica using only recent / reliable drilling data. As reported to the ASX last year, the previous resource calculation used mainly State drilled holes and assays and this was subsequently downgraded to an ‘Exploration Target’. The results of this new Resource will be available in the June Quarter.

Results from 16 shallow scout holes drilled on the regional tenements around Plavica in 2013 were returned. A number of interesting alteration zones were drilled characterised by high As and S assays. The best result was 1m @ 1.85 % Cu from 81m within a broad low grade gold zone of 25m @ 0.1 g/t Au from 62m in PSDD002 at Plesinci. This hole’s location is shown in Figure 5. Further work is planned at some of these regional prospects, including geophysics, after applications to extend these tenements are approved.

The Company is pleased to advise that it has now completed a Final Feasibility Study (FFS) in relation to the Plavica tenement, in accordance with the terms of Genesis’ joint venture agreement (JV Agreement) with its partner RIK Sileks AD Kratovo (Sileks). Sileks is required to lodge the FFS with the Macedonian Government upon expiry of the four-year Exploration Licence for the Plavica tenement.

The FFS was completed pursuant to detailed exploration undertaken by Genesis over the Plavica tenement, and comprises eight studies which collectively report on a range of feasibility matters in connection with the possible future exploitation of a Resource at Plavica, including the economic feasibility of establishing a mine, and reviews of the geology, ore resources and metallurgy. In particular, Genesis confirms that the first part of the FFS, a Geological Elaborate Report, which includes a Macedonian standard resource calculation, was lodged by Sileks on April 1[st] with the Macedonian Government for review, in accordance with lodgement procedures.

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

The Arltunga Gold Project consists of Exploration Licence EL25238 covering 95.2 square kilometres, is located approximately 110 kilometres northeast of Alice Springs (Figure 6) in the vicinity of the Arltunga Goldfield. Thirty three historical gold mines and prospects are known in the licence area.

The Licence Renewal was approved on the 6 June 2013 for a Term of 2 years and will expire on the 7[th ] November 2014. All 31 sub-blocks were retained.

The 7[th] Annual Technical Report was submitted and has been accepted as satisfactory.

A Mine Management Plan (MMP) Update was lodged on the 14[th] March 2014.

A CLC Sacred Site Clearance Certificate Application was lodged on the 4[th] February 2014.

Work was restricted to a review of previous work and planning for fieldwork in 2014.

CORPORATE UPDATES

Events during the quarter

Proposed takeover bid : On 24 January 2014, Genesis executed a Takeover Bid Implementation Deed with Blumont Group Ltd (SGX: A33/BLUM) ( Blumont ), under which Blumont proposed to make an off-market takeover bid for all the shares in Genesis. Blumont dispatched a Bidder’s Statement to Genesis shareholders on 26 March 2014, under which Blumont offered to acquire all Genesis shares on issue ( Offer ). By accepting the Offer, Genesis shareholders were to receive 5.3 Blumont shares for every 2 Genesis shares.

Capital raising through placement of shares : On 29 January 2014, Genesis raised $1,000,000 through a placement of 11,764,706 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.085.

Change of auditor : On 23 January 2014, Genesis was served with notices requiring the Company to convene a general meeting to seek to remove PricewaterhouseCoopers and appoint RSM Bird Cameron Partners as the Company’s auditor. The Company held an extraordinary general meeting on 28 February 2014, at which PricewaterhouseCoopers was removed and RSM Bird Cameron Partners was appointed as auditor of the Company.

Events subsequent

Blumont takeover bid : On 9 April 2014, following discussions between Genesis and Blumont about certain aspects of the Offer, and given the Board’s view that it would only be appropriate to issue Genesis’ Target’s Statement 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.
