EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS DURING THE QUARTER

REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

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

Fieldwork in the Quarter consisted of the ongoing monitoring of water bores and surface sites as well as the collection of flora and fauna data for an impending ESIA for the Government of Macedonia. Resource calculations under Macedonian guidelines are also being collated with other material for a mining study. Household surveys are being completed within the 2 major towns of Probistip and Kratovo and the surrounding Villages.

A Licence Renewal Application was lodged on 5 April 2016. It was approved on 13 May 2016 for a further term of 2 years and will expire on 17 April 2018. All 118 sub-blocks were retained.

The 11[th] Annual Technical Report was lodged on 21 April 2017 and accepted as satisfactory by the DME on the 26 April 2017.

The Central Land Council Sacred Site Clearance Certificate was extended on the 30 August 2017. The new expiry date is the 31 December 2018.

No field work was carried out. In addition a full review of all available data is underway to define targets for RC drill testing during 2018.

GLADSTONE-MOUNT MILLER PROJECT: Manganese (EPM15771) (GES 100%)

The Gladstone-Mount Miller Project consists of Exploration Licence (EPM15771) covering 42.62sq km and is located approximately 15 km by road from the port of Gladstone on the east coast of central Queensland (Figure 2).

The largest mine on the tenements controlled by Genesis was at Mount Miller. The mine opened in 1895 and operated intermittently until 1916 and then from 1958 to 1960. A total of 21,785 tonnes of ore was mined with a grade which ranged from 71% to 75% MnO2.

A Licence Renewal Application was lodged on the 17 February 2017 and approved on the 17 March 2017. The new expiry date is the 19 June 2019. All 7 sub blocks were retained.

The 10[th] Annual Technical Report was lodged on 23 June 2017.

No field work was carried out. A review of all available data is underway to confirm if more drilling is necessary at the Mt Miller mine and if other prospect areas on the tenement require drill testing during 2018.

Withdrawal of Mining Lease Application

In May 2017, Genesis advised the Queensland Government’s Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) that Genesis requested to withdraw its Mining Lease 80166 (ML) application. The request was approved by the DNRM.

The Company’s decision not to progress the ML from application to grant stage at this time is consistent with its current strategy of focusing on a program of works for the exploration permit, rather than the ML application itself.

Genesis’ withdrawal of the ML application will allow the area to fall back within the underlying exploration permit held by Genesis, and for exploration activities to continue. The withdrawal will not affect any entitlements that Genesis currently has through the underlying exploration permit, and the permit continues to provide the Company with security of tenure for any future mining lease applications.

The Company intends to continue its exploration programs at this tenement, whilst re-assessing the viability of submitting another mining lease application at a later stage.

PIONEER PROJECT: Gold (EPM15619) (GES 100%)

The Pioneer Project consists of one granted Exploration Permit Mineral (EPM15619) covering 6.23 sq km approximately 70 km by road from Bundaberg via the Bruce Highway in Queensland (Figure 2) .

The project lies within the Gaeta Goldfield and has undergone previous exploration for gold, uranium and base metals, with numerous historical gold workings located throughout the area. Historical mining was primarily focused on the Pioneer Reef which was the largest producer, but mining activities also included several other reefs including Gympie, Lord Nelson, West Yorkshire and Happy Jack.

A Licence Renewal Application was lodged on 28 April 2016 requesting another two year period. The renewal application was approved on the 30 June 2016. The new expiry date is the 2 August 2018. The 2 sub blocks were retained.

The 11[th] Annual Technical Report was lodged on 4 August 2017.
