BY ORDER OF THE BOARD
DAVID SEMMENS COMPANY SECRETARY
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice of Meeting convening the General Meeting ("the Meeting") of shareholders of Genesis Biomedical Limited ("Genesis" or the "Company") to be held on Friday, May 29, 2009 at 9.00am (WST). This Memorandum is to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.
RESOLUTION 1 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
Resolution 1 seeks approval for a change of name of the Company in accordance with Section 157(1) of the Corporations Act. Under Section 157(1) of the Corporations Act, if a company wishes to change its name it must pass a special resolution adopting a new name and lodge an application with the ASIC.
The Company is seeking to change its name to "Black Ridge Mining Ltd" to more accurately reflect the future activities of the Company as a mining exploration company.
RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL FOR CHANGE IN NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
Background
- In relation to the biomedical sector lengthy time frames, high cost and uncertain path to commercialization has deterred the company from proceeding with many offers presented to it during the past two years, although the company continued to assess new offers. The historical projects such as "Cellgen" and others, were proving to be expensive and, with little upside.
- March 2007: Announcement of Sepsis project in conjunction with the University of Western Australia. This project was entered into after due diligence was conducted on a number of offers presented to the Company from both local and overseas parties and represented the first opportunity to broaden the biomedical area of the business since transferring the head office of the Company from Sydney to Perth.
- November 2007: Announcement of farm-in agreement with Plato Mining Pty Ltd on the Unaly Hill tenement. This opportunity was presented to GBL on the basis of seeking additional shareholder wealth creating prospects from a broader base.
- February 2008: Announcement re further funding commitment of $60,000 for Sepsis Project, whilst continuing the investigation of Unaly Hill tenement.
- August 2008: Resignation of Chairman Rodger Johnston, followed shortly after in September by the appointment of Gordon Hatch as replacement Non-executive Director, with a broad based business experience including mining company background.
- November 2008: Announcement re soil sampling and drilling programme at Unaly Hill tenement.
- December 2008: Announcement re completion of Phase 1 of drilling programme.
- December 2008: Announcement of resignation of Managing Director.
- January 2009: Announcement of appointment of Angus Middleton as a Director. Mr Middleton is an experienced fund manager and is also a Director of a listed mining exploration company.
- January 2009: Announcement of the appointment of Gordon Hatch as CEO/Managing Director.
- January 2009: Announcement of results of Unaly Hill tenement drilling programme.
• February 2009: Announcement re signing of Exclusive Dealing Agreement on the Seventy One Mile Well Tenement giving GBL the exclusive right to conduct due diligence on the tenement and negotiate further if the results warranted . The tenement is immediately north of the Unaly Hill tenement and has commercial benefits to that project if successful.
EXPLORATION PROJECTS
Unaly Hill tenement (E57/420)
The potential of the area to host an iron deposit was first indicated from aeromagnetic surveys, to be later confirmed by detailed ground magnetics and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. While more work is required to delineate a resource, the combination of geological and geophysical interpretation, as well as follow-up RC drilling, has shown that the licence has the potential to host an iron/vanadium deposit.
In late 2008, Genesis Biomedical Limited completed half of a planned 6 hole RC drill programme, to test for magnetite and vanadium beneath the targeted magnetic anomalies. Unfortunately severe rain caused the programme to be abandoned after only 1 line of 3 holes had been completed. Nevertheless, this programme did confirm the presence of iron and vanadium. The remaining holes should be drilled, in order to allow a more complete assessment of the potential of the licence to host an economic iron/vanadium deposit.
GBL has been evaluating the results of the recent drilling programme. Based on those results and further investigative work, GBL has advised that the Farmin Agreement between GBL and Plato Mining Pty Ltd in respect of the Unaly Hill tenement (E57/420) has been extended for three months to 16 August 2009. During this time the parties will renegotiate the terms of the Agreement to facilitate GBL's earlier acquisition of an interest in the tenement
As with the Victory Bore licence immediately to the north, the Unaly Hill licence has been the subject of discontinuous gold exploration activity in the past. Rock chip and soil sampling as well as limited drilling have delineated areas that are anomalous for gold. There are numerous small-scale workings on the flanks of Unaly Hill. Some of these workings are in the vicinity of an E-W fault that intersects the main SW-NE structures. This is a target area worthy of follow up. The licence is clearly prospective for gold. It would be necessary to compile all of the historic data onto a single base map in order to properly delineate targets for follow up work.
Seventy One Mile Well tenement (E57/710)
GBL entered into an agreement with Mallee Minerals Pty Ltd (Mallee) for the exclusive right to conduct due diligence enquiries over a period of 6 months with respect to Mallee's Exploration Licence 57/710 known as Seventy One Mile Well (the tenement) in the Yilgarn Geological Province of Western Australia.
The tenement lies immediately north of the Unaly Hill tenement (E 57/420) on which Genesis has recently undertaken a limited drilling program pursuant to its farm-in agreement for that tenement with Plato Mining Pty Ltd.
While it adjoins the Victory Bore licence, it is largely outside of the mafic/ultramafic intrusion which hosts the Victory Bore iron/vanadium deposit. There is no sign of anomalous magnetic readings on the aeromagnetic map. The licence therefore does not appear to be prospective for iron or vanadium.
There is however, some potential for gold. This area has been very under-explored for gold because it is slightly off the main Youanmi Fault. Nevertheless, a splay of this fault extends through one part of the licence. While there has been no detailed mapping of the area, the magnetics show considerable structural and geological complexity, particularly in the SW and NE parts of the licence. Such structural variations have become targets during the more recent wave of gold exploration in the general Sandstone area.
The adjoining Victory Bore and nearby Unaly Hill licences are both prospective for gold. Significant exploration which has been carried out in the past, has delineated many gold targets requiring follow-up work on these properties.
As part of the due diligence process, GBL will undertake a field assessment of the area.
SEPSIS PROJECT
Since GBL's last funding contribution to the University of Western Australia in 2008, the Company is awaiting developmental and research results. The future funding of the project is subject to a grant from the State Government for ongoing research. Therefore, with no prospect of a favourable outcome in the short term, GBL is not factoring any financial results nor commitments with this project at this time.
SUMMARY
In relation to the biomedical sector lengthy time frames, high cost and uncertain path to commercialisation has deterred the company from proceeding with many offers presented to it during the past two years.
Review and evaluation of existing commercial activities together with identification and assessment of new opportunities from various sectors has been the central focus of the Company. The cash reserves have been greatly affected by the global economic crisis which has resulted in severely reduced levels of available finance for the biomedical field. Management has implemented cost cutting measures and continues to take appropriate action aimed at maintaining the ongoing viability of the business. Directors fees, wage and salary reductions have occurred in all areas, with general administration and overhead expenses being cut in line with the level of business activity with approximately $350,000 pa in cost savings having been achieved to date.
The cost cutting however will only work in conjunction with an increased project evaluation effort. It is therefore the intention of the Company going forward to concentrate on the mining exploration sector, therefore providing the Board with a concerted focus on increasing our market opportunities from non traditional areas and finding new sources of investment for increasing shareholders wealth.
Listing Rule Requirements
ASX Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the nature and scale of its activities, it must provide full details to the ASX as soon as practicable. ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 provides that, if ASX requires, the entity must get the approval of shareholders and must comply with any requirements of ASX in relation to the notice of meeting.
For this reason, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to make a significant change to the nature of its activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2.
RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF AN ISSUE OF 30,000,000 SHARES
Background
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.4, the Directors are seeking ratification from shareholders of the allotment and issue of 30,000,000 Shares on 31 March 2009 at an issue price of $0.003 each.
The Shares issued rank pari passu with all existing Shares in the capital of the Company.
Listing Rule Requirements
Listing Rule 7.1 requires that a listed company obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities representing more than 15% of the issued capital of that company in any 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. This rule provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1, those securities shall be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholder ratification for the Share issue is now sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to reinstate the Company's capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital, if required, in the next 12 months without shareholder approval.
Where one seeks to invoke the operation of Listing Rule 7.4, Listing Rule 7.5 requires certain information be provided in the notice of meeting.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to this resolution:
- (a) there were 30,000,000 Shares issued;
- (b) the issue price of the Shares was $0.003
- (c) The Shares issued rank pari passu with all existing Shares in the capital of the Company.
- (d) the allottees of the Shares are tabulated below;
| Allottee Name | Shares Allotted | ||

| Merrill Lynch (Australia) Pty Ltd | 10,000,000 | ||
| Total | 30,000,000 |
(e) the monies raised from the issue are being used to provide funds for the ongoing working capital requirements of the Company's operations, the evaluation of new opportunities, and the corporate and administrative activities of the Company.
RESOLUTION 4 – PLACEMENT AUTHORITY – SHARES
Background
It is proposed that shareholders grant approval pursuant to Listing Rules of ASX Limited, the Constitution of the Company and all other purposes to allot and issue, to sophisticated investors, up to 100,000,000 Shares in the capital of the Company.
The purpose of the issue will be to fund the Company's ongoing working capital requirements of the Company's operations, fund the evaluation and acquisition of new opportunities, fund the corporate and administrative activities of the Company, and meet the costs of the issue.
The Shares to be issued will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing issued Shares. The Shares to be issued will have a diluting effect on the issued capital of the Company.
The capital structure of the Company following completion of the issue of securities proposed by this resolution is detailed in the following table:
| PREPLACEMENT | PLACEMENT | POSTPLACEMENT | |||

Listing Rule Requirements
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.3 of ASX Limited ("ASX") provide that a listed entity may not issue securities in any twelve month period which, when aggregated with the number of fully paid Shares on issue, exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid Shares on issue at the beginning of the twelve month period, except with the prior approval of shareholders of the Company in general meeting, of the precise terms and conditions of the proposed issue.
The securities proposed to be issued pursuant to Resolution 4 of the Notice exceed the 15% threshold referred to above and, accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue.

The average will be calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the day on which the issue is made or if a prospectus is issued relating to the issue, over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the date the prospectus is signed.
- (d) The identity of any proposed allottees of the securities the subject of Resolution 4 are not yet known to the Company. The allottees will be determined at the Directors discretion;
- (e) The Shares will rank pari passu on allotment and issue with the existing Shares in GBL
- (f) The funds raised by reason of the allotment will be used to fund the ongoing working capital requirements of the Company's operations, fund the evaluation and acquisition of new opportunities, fund the corporate and administrative activities of the Company, and meet the costs of the issue. The proposed allocation to these areas is tabulated below:
