Quarterly Activities Report – December 2016
HIGHLIGHTS
Plavica Au-Ag-Cu Project
-
The Company released a JORC 2012 compliant resource statement over Plavica during the quarter ended 31 December 2016 ( Quarter ) which included maiden resource results for Maricanski Rid. The total gold resource was 65.8 MT at 0.70 g/t Au containing 1.46 Million Ounces of Gold . The resource also contained 107 kT of contained copper and 11.1 Million Ounces of Silver. The full report can be seen on the Genesis website.
-
The extensional and infill drilling program continued at Plavica and Maricanski Rid. A total of 20 core holes were drilled for a total of 3,177.6m and 30 RC holes were also drilled for 3,419m. This drilling is to increase the confidence in the resource and get most of it into the ‘indicated’ category.
-
Drilling at the eastern and western ends of Maricanski Rid continue to return significant results including:
-
MRRC015: 53m @ 1.49 g/t Au from 43m from the eastern end of the Maricanski Rid prospect.
-
MRDD050: 34m @ 1.13 g/t Au from 0m from the western end of the Maricanski Rid prospect.
These above results are not included in the Resource model.
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 in May 2015, drilling has since focussed on extending and better understanding the previously known mineralisation at both the Plavica and Maricanski Rid prospects with a focus on the oxide gold potential.
As announced to the market o the 19[th] of December 2016, a JORC 2012 compliant resource was released for the Plavica project. The total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources as at November 2016 are estimated at 65.8 million tonnes (MT) at 0.70 grams per tonne of gold (g/t Au) containing 1.46 million ounces of gold . Contained within this total resource is 31.7 MT @ 0.77 g/t Au for 781,000 Au ounces of oxide and transitional (Pox) material from both the Plavica and Maricanski Rid deposits.
The resource estimate follows a series of reverse circulation and diamond drilling campaigns completed to define mineralisation along both the main Plavica ridge and Maricanski Rid. Mineralisation is continuous for over 1km at Plavica and 700m at Maricanski Rid and has been drilled to depths of over 300m. The Resource at Plavica remains open along strike to the east and at Maricanski Rid to the east and west.
Resource estimations were also completed for silver (11.1 million ounces) and copper (107 kT contained copper) within the Primary unoxidized material at Plavica.
The Resource represents a major milestone for the Company and work has begun on completing a Pre-Feasibility Study. Golder Associates have been contracted to complete this work.
Also during the Quarter, drilling has continued at both of these prospects using one core rig and one Reverse Circulation (RC) rig with the aim of upgrading the Inferred Resources at Plavica and Maricanski Rid to ‘indicated’ status. Results were returned for some of these holes whilst other results are pending.A total of 20 core holes were drilled for a total of 3,177.6m and 30 RC holes were also drilled for 3,419m. Drilling at the eastern and western ends of Maricanski Rid continue to return significant results including:
MRRC015: 53m @ 1.49 g/t Au from 43m from the eastern end of the Maricanski Rid prospect. MRDD050: 34m @ 1.13 g/t Au from 0m from the western end of the Maricanski Rid prospect.
These results are not included in the Resource statement.
In addition, results were received for many of the holes drilled in the September Quarter (Table 2). These results are also

not included in the Resource statement and highlights include:
MRDD035: 80m @ 1.00 g/t Au from 43m. PNDD087: 17m @ 0.43 g/t Au, 1.72% Cu & 17.6 g/t Ag from 239m.
All drill collar locations drilled this Quarter are shown in Tables 1 and 2 and Figure 2. Composites from results received this Quarter are shown in Tables 3, 4 5 and 6. A section from Maricanski Rid showing holes MRDD035 and MRRC015 is shown as Figure 3.
Genesis expects to complete a feasibility study before December 2017, and has agreed to commit up to US $7.5m for these activities.

Half the core was sampled at 1m intervals and the other half retained for reference purposes. All core was logged and photographed prior to sampling. Samples were sent to SGS Laboratories in Bor, Serbia. Samples were assayed for gold by 30g Fire Assay and other elements by ICP.

Compositing done with a 0.4 g/t Au cut-off, minimum 3m interval, maximum 3m internal waste. Core samples are all orientated standard HQ size core split in two using a core saw. Half the core was sampled at 1m intervals and the other half retained for reference purposes. All core was logged and photographed prior to sampling. Samples were sent to SGS Laboratories in Bor, Serbia. Samples were assayed for gold by 30g Fire Assay and other elements by ICP. Standards, Blanks and Duplicates were also submitted for Laboratory Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC). Intercept widths are not necessarily true widths.

About Genesis Resources Limited
Genesis Resources Limited is an Australian company with a portfolio of quality gold, iron, manganese, uranium and base metal (copper-zinc-silver) in the highly prospective Proterozoic and Phanerozoic metallogenic provinces of northern and central Australia. Genesis has signed a Joint Venture over an advanced copper-gold project (Plavica) within the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The Plavica Project lies within Carpathian Volcanic Arc, a major epithermal province running through Eastern Europe, which is highly prospective for gold, copper and silver mineralisation. Genesis’ projects are close to established infrastructure including railways, shipping ports, highways, power stations and populated areas. The Company’s objective is to provide rapid capital growth through mineral discoveries and development of economic deposits in Australia and overseas.

| Drill hole Information |
| A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: |
All drill hole collars with location, elevation, depth, dip and azimuth are tabulated in the body of the report. |
| o easting and northing of the drill hole collar | |||
| o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) | |||
| of the drill hole collar | |||
| o dip and azimuth of the hole | |||
| o down hole length and interception depth | |||
| o hole length. | |||
| | If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the | ||
| information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the | |||
| understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly | |||
| explain why this is the case. | |||
| Data aggregation methods |
|
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
A 0.4 g/t Au cut-off is used for reporting of Au grades and a 0.3 % for Cu grades. No top cuts are used. A minimum of 3m length is used for compositing and a maximum of 3m of internal waste is used. These parameters are considered adequate for this deposit style. No metal equivalents used |
| | The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values | ||
| should be clearly stated. | |||
| Relationship between |
| These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Core orientation and sectional interpretation suggest the mineralised zones are sub-vertical. |
| mineralisation | |
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle | |
| widths and intercept lengths |
| is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Holes are drilled on 45 to 60 degree angles to intersect the zones at the highest angle possible but also taking into account the steep topography of the area and the difficulty of locating drill pads. As a result the mineralized zones are intersected at an oblique angle and |
| therefore down-hole lengths are not true widths. |
