ASX Announcement - 10 December 2019
GENESIS EXPANDS STRATEGIC FOOTPRINT AT LEONORA
WITH FARM-IN DEAL OVER DESDEMONA SOUTH
High-priority drilling targets identified immediately north of 760,000oz Ulysses Project
Key Points:
- Genesis enters exploration farm-in and joint venture with Kin Mining (ASX: KIN) over the Desdemona South Area, south of Leonora in WA.
- Desdemona tenement package is contiguous with and located immediately north of Genesis' 100%-owned 760,000oz1 Ulysses Gold Project.
- Project is strategically located between Ulysses and St Barbara's Gwalia Mine and covers a number of conceptual to moderately advanced gold targets.
- Includes over 10km of prospective strike, including the northern extension of the strongly mineralised structural corridor that hosts the Ulysses gold deposit.
- Target zones identified to be tested in the first half of 2020.
- Joint Venture is consistent with the Company's strategy to consolidate additional, highly prospective gold tenure in the Leonora district.
Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Farm-in and
Joint Venture agreement with Kin Mining NL (ASX: KIN) over the Desdemona South JV Gold Project ("Desdemona South" or "Project"), located south of Leonora in Western Australia.
Desdemona South (see Figure 1) comprises a strategically located tenement package immediately north of and contiguous with Genesis' 100%-owned760,000oz1 Ulysses Gold Project, and includes a range of exploration targets which will strengthen and expand the Company's growth pipeline in the Leonora region.
Under the terms of the agreement, Genesis will have the right to earn an initial 60% interest in the Project and move to 80% under certain conditions.
The Joint Venture will provide Genesis with over 10km of strike of mafic stratigraphy (similar to Ulysses) to explore within the same regional structural corridor that controls gold mineralisation in the district (see Figures 2 and 4).
Genesis Managing Director, Michael Fowler, said the farm-in and joint venture agreement with Kin Mining represented a logical and strategic addition to its regional gold exploration footprint.
"This gives Genesis an opportunity to test a highly prospective and under-explored package of ground located immediately north of our existing Resource base at Ulysses," he said. "It is consistent with our strategy of acquiring and consolidating prospective ground and assets in the Leonora district that will help us to grow our Resource base and establish the foundations for us to build a long-term gold business."

"The contiguous nature of the tenement package and the fact that it hosts extensions of the same prospective structures that host the Ulysses deposit make this a very attractive addition to our exploration footprint," Mr Fowler continued. "We are looking forward to getting on the ground at Desdemona South to commence exploration activities.
"In the meantime, work is continuing on a number of other fronts. With resource in-fill drilling recently completed at Ulysses, we are awaiting final results and commencing work on the next Resource update. Regional air-core drilling is continuing at Ulysses in the ongoing hunt for new discoveries, and we are about to commence a program of diamond drilling at the Barimaia JV Project near the Mt Magnet gold mine."
Desdemona South Overview
The Desdemona South JV Gold Project comprises a package of nine tenements covering a total area of ~156km2, shown in the blue shading in Figure 1. The Project is easily accessed off the Goldfields Highway and is strategically located between Genesis' Ulysses Project and St Barbara's Gwalia Mine.
The tenement package includes a number of conceptual to moderately advanced gold targets. There are no Mineral Resources located on the Project. The Project area has been explored for gold and base metals since the 1970's but has had a fragmented and discontinuous exploration history due to a number of owners.
The Project area overlies Archaean greenstones and meta-sedimentary rocks intruded by sill-like bodies of mafic and ultramafic rocks. Mafic lavas, rhyolites and dacites predominate in the sequence, with dolerites and gabbros being the dominant intrusions. The regolith is variable with significant transported cover over the western portion of the project.
Early exploration of the Project area by previous explorers was hindered by the presence of widespread transported cover and deep clay overburden. Many rotary air blast drill programs conducted in the project area were unsuccessful, as target depths to test the bedrock could not be achieved due to swelling clays or water in-flows from buried palaeo-channels.
Target Zones
Figure 1. Project location map showing the Desdemona South JV Project in blue.
A number of target areas have been developed for drill testing in 2020 and are shown on Figures 3 and 4. Target areas 1 and 2 cover approximately 10km of strike of mafic stratigraphy (similar to Ulysses) within structurally complex areas within the regional structural corridor.

These targets are concealed by transported cover and have been under-explored to date. Genesis proposes initially to complete wide-spacedair-core drilling with the objective of defining significant gold anomalism.
Target 3 is located on the granite-greenstone contact outside the mafic stratigraphic sequence and covers a structurally complex area that is untested by drilling. The Company plans to undertake wide- spaced air-core drilling to test this area, with the objective of defining significant gold anomalism.
Target 4 is located in the north-eastern portion of the Project in a structurally complex area associated with the Emu Fault. This area is untested by drilling and is located adjacent to Lake Raeside.
Figure 2. Regional magnetics RTP showing Ulysses and Desdemona South JV.
The Pelican-Flamingo Target is positioned on the northern limb of the Melita Syncline (see Figures 3 and 4). Mineralisation comprises quartz veining and sericite-pyrite alteration in a quartz-feldspar porphyry. A best result of 8m @ 22.48g/t Au from 60m in HWAC037 in air-core drilling was recorded.
A follow-up RC program defined narrow high-grade bedrock mineralisation with a best/typical result of 1m at 9.3g/t from 111m. The controls on mineralisation are not well understood and mineralisation remains open.
The broader area is only lightly tested and the magnetic dolerite unit spatially associated with the mineralisation remains untested. This area is considered a prospective target for applying the Ulysses geological model.
Planned drill testing will include Reverse Circulation and air-core drilling.

Farm-In and Joint Venture Terms
The initial Farm-In terms are as follows:
- Stage 1 Expenditure: Genesis must incur expenditure of not less than $250,000 (Minimum Expenditure) on the JV Area within 18 months of Commencement.
- Stage 2 Expenditure: Genesis may earn a 60% interest in the JV Area by incurring a further $750,000 expenditure (total spend of $1,000,000) on the JV Area within 36 months of Commencement.

Once Genesis earns a 60% interest, Kin may elect to form a Joint Venture with participating interests of 60% Genesis and 40% Kin or grant Genesis the right to elect to sole contribute or form a JV.
Once Genesis earns a 70% interest (if Kin does not elect to from a JV at 60%) Kin may elect to form a Joint Venture with participating interests of 70% Genesis and 30% Kin or grant Genesis the right to elect to sole contribute or form a JV to move to 80%.
Genesis would need to spend $2.6 million in total to earn an 80% interest in the JV.
