Quarterly Activities Report – September 2015
HIGHLIGHTS
Plavica Au-Ag-Cu Project
-
The extensional and infill drilling program continued at Plavica during the quarter ended 30 September 2015 ( Quarter ). A total of 19 core holes were drilled for a total of 5,035.3m. The highlight was a new 100m+ (uncut) zone of over 1% copper mineralisation to the east of the main Plavica body of mineralisation. This zone included 12m @ 5.97 % Cu from 100m down-hole.
-
Assay results have now been received for the four holes which were drilled at Maricanski Rid during the previous Quarter. This prospect lies 800m south of the main Plavica Mineralisation. Results are very encouraging and included 24m @ 6.39 g/t Au from surface (0m).
EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS DURING THE QUARTER
REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA
PLAVICA HIGH SULPHIDATION EPITHERMAL GOLD-COPPER-SILVER PROJECT (Figures 1 & 2)
Following the granting of the 30 year Exploitation Licence at Plavica, drilling has focussed in 2015 on extending and better understanding the previously known mineralisation. Nineteen holes were drilled during the Quarter for 5,035.3m of HQ drill core. Of these 19 holes (PNDD050 to PNDD069), results have been returned for all but the last five (PNDD065 to PNDD069). In addition, results have also been returned for the 10 holes drilled last Quarter. Six of these are from Plavica and four are from Maricanski Rid, some 800m to the south of Plavica. Collar locations are shown in Table 1 and Figure 2.
Results from the eastern part of Plavica were encouraging and included:
PNDD058: 34m @ 1.10 g/t Au from 133m PNDD062: 38m @ 0.99 g/t Au from 32m PNDD062: 49m @ 1.05 g/t Au from 106m
In addition, a copper-rich zone was intersected just to the east of the previously defined gold mineralisation over eastern Plavica. Intervals included:
PNDD046: 12m @ 5.97 % Cu, 0.42 g/t Au, 390 g/t Ag from 100m PNDD046: 14m @ 1.61 % Cu, 1.07 g/t Au, 140 g/t Ag from 124m PNDD046: 17m @ 1.37 % Cu, 0.50 g/t Au from 209m
The true thickness of this copper zone is yet to be defined and will be followed up with more drilling.

A number of holes drilled over the Western part of Plavica were slightly disappointing with best results of:
PNDD049: 11m @ 0.88 % Cu, 0.43 g/t Au from 43m PNDD052: 16m @ 0.61 % Cu from 84m PNDD052: 13m @ 0.82 g/t Au, 0.51 % Cu from 170m
At Maricanski Rid, assays from four holes drilled in the June Quarter (MRDD006 to MRDD009) were returned and were very encouraging. The holes were drilled 100m apart along the silica cap, targeting the vuggy silica zones intersected in RC drilling in 2013. Highlights include:
MRDD006: 24m @ 6.39 g/t Au from 0m MRDD006: 69m @ 1.06 g/t Au from 28m MRDD008: 23m @ 2.22 g/t Au from 4m
Drill collar details are shown in Table 1 and their locations are shown in Figure 2. Composites from results received this Quarter are shown in Tables 2, 3 and 4. A section through Maricanski Rid is shown in Figure 3.
Drilling is ongoing at Plavica and Maricanski Rid. Genesis aims to complete a JORC compliant Resource in early 2016. Genesis then expects to complete a feasibility study before October 2017, and has agreed to commit up to US $7.5m for these activities.

Standards, Blanks and Duplicates were also submitted for Laboratory Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QAQC). Intercept widths are not necessarily true widths.
