REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

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

No drilling was completed during the Quarter. Drilling is planned for the June Quarter following the signing of the Exploitation Concession Agreement. In addition, no other field work was completed during the Quarter due to inclement weather in the winter months.

As announced to the market on 12 March 2015, Genesis is pleased to confirm that it has received advice that the Government of Macedonia has made an in-principle decision to approve the JV Company’s application for an Exploitation Licence for a term of 30 years. In accordance with Macedonian legislation, the Government of Macedonia has published in an official governmental gazette its decision to grant the Licence to the JV Company. Formal grant of the Licence will take effect upon the signing of a concession agreement between the JV Company and the Government of Macedonia. This is now expected to be in April 2015. The area covered by the application totals 16.85 km2 and is shown in Figure 2.

Several representative rock samples were collected for specific gravity measurement as reference against results of the previous gravity survey.

A full review of existing data has been completed. A further, more detailed review of drilling data is underway to determine if drilling has adequately tested the known manganese mineralization.

CORPORATE UPDATES

Events during the quarter

Retirement of debt:

  • On 16 February 2015, Genesis issued 25,630,833 shares to a contractor for nil cash consideration in lieu of outstanding fees of $1,537,850 for drilling services provided, at a deemed issue price of $0.06 per share.

  • Also on 16 February 2015, Genesis issued a further 38,295,631 shares in retirement of debt (total principal amount of $2,000,000 plus accrued interest) under a loan, at a deemed issue price of $0.06 per share.

Lapse of Blumont Placement Agreement:

  • Prior to the relevant quarter on 12 December 2014, Genesis announced that it had entered into a placement agreement with Blumont Group Limited ( Blumont ) under which Blumont would subscribe for new shares in Genesis to assist Genesis to meet its need for additional capital ( Blumont Placement Agreement ).

  • The agreement was conditional on SGX approval. Such approval was not forthcoming and the agreement lapsed after the period in early 2015.

Blumont takeover bid:

  • On 5 February 2015, Blumont further extended its off-market takeover bid offer for all the shares in Genesis ( Offer ) until 23 March 2015.

  • On 2 March 2015, Genesis advised that it had terminated its Takeover Bid Implementation Deed with Blumont ( Deed ). Genesis terminated the Deed because of the fall of the 5 day volume weighted average price of Blumont shares to below S$0.0272; under the Deed this was an event entitling Genesis to exercise its right of termination. A consequence of termination of the Deed was that the Directors were freed from their obligation to recommend acceptance of the Offer and the expectation that they would accept the Offer in relation to their own shares.

  • On 3 March 2015, Genesis issued a supplementary target’s statement notifying shareholders that the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders do not accept the Offer.

  • On 13 March 2015, Blumont confirmed that it had waived each of the conditions to the takeover bid, and that the Offer had become unconditional.

  • The Offer closed on 23 March 2015, with the result that Blumont currently has a relevant interest in 33,001,561 Genesis shares, representing 12.96% of Genesis’ total issued share capital.

In-principle approval of exploitation (mining) licence for Plavica tenement:

  • On 12 March 2015, Genesis announced that it had received advice that the Government of Macedonia has made an in-principle decision to approve the application made by Silgen Resources International Ltd, Kratovo (Silgen), the joint venture company owned by the Company and its joint venture partner RIK Sileks AD Kratovo, for a 30 years exploitation (mining) licence for the Plavica tenement.

  • In accordance with Macedonian legislation, the Government of Macedonia has published in an official governmental gazette its decision to grant the exploitation licence to Silgen.

  • Formal grant of the exploitation licence will take effect upon the signing of a concession agreement between Silgen and the Government of Macedonia, which is expected to occur shortly.
