EXPLORATION UPDATE HighlightsLas Opeñas Gold Project, San Juan Argentina
• Results received from 8 hole 2,400m diamond drilling program
• Wide-spaced drilling intersected wide zones of encouraging mineralisation hosted in breccia
• High grade mineralisation intersected including:
2m @ 7.45g/t gold, 256g/t silver, 0.61% zinc and 1.03% lead
1m @ 5.26g/t gold and 31.0g/t silver
• Further follow up drilling required targeting the Las Opeñas mineralised system
Viking Gold Project, Western Australia
• Systematic testing of a series of high-grade vein targets open at depth and along strike commenced
• 13 hole RC program completed with results due early
September
Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) ('Genesis' or the 'Company') is
pleased to announce it has received the results from the drill program recently completed at the Las Opeñas Project ("Las Opeñas" or "the Project"), San Juan, Argentina.
The Company is also very pleased to report that it has successfully completed the first drill program at the Viking Gold Project ("Viking") in Western Australia. The results from this program are due in early September. This initial program is the commencement of the systematic testing of a series of high-grade vein targets and surface gold anomalies open at depth and along strike at the high-priority 7km x 7km Beaker Prospect.
Las Opeñas
The eight-hole 2,400m Phase 2 drill program (see Figures 1 and 3) targeted the main known zone of extensive surface gold and base metal mineralisation, coincident with a large breccia system and Induced Polarisation features.
Early in 2014 Genesis renegotiated the Las Opeñas agreement with Teck Argentina Ltd. ("Teck"). Genesis was to complete a minimum of 2,400m of drilling at Las Opeñas by September 30, 2014. Teck currently retains its right to earn-back in to the Project until October 22, 2014.
Results from the wide spaced program (see Table 1 and Figures 1 to 3)
testing the breccia system include:
14LODH015 126.4m @ 0.17g/t gold, 3.2g/t silver and 0.20% zinc
14LODH015 27.8m @ 0.26g/t gold and 0.52% zinc
14LODH015 36.7m @ 0.23g/t gold, 5.6g/t silver, 1.00% zinc and
0.13% lead
ASX Release 21 August 2014 1
Genesis Minerals Limited
14LODH015 was drilled beneath 12LODH003 (see Figure 2) which returned a significant, wide zone of gold- base metal mineralisation in 2012.
High-grade mineralisation was also intersected associated with ENE trending structures. Results include:
14LODH019 2m @ 7.45g/t gold, 256g/t silver, 0.61% zinc and 1.03% lead
14LODH020 1m @ 5.26g/t gold and 31.0g/t silver
High grade mineralisation is within semi massive sulphide veins and veinlets associated with interpreted strike extensive (+5km combined) high-grade structures (see Figure 4) that are untested by drilling and require systematic follow up exploration. These structures are identified in part by mapping, surface rock chip sampling and magnetic interpretation.
Very wide zones of strongly anomalous base-metal mineralisation (see Figure 5 and Table 1) have been returned from holes intersecting breccia hosted mineralisation at Las Opeñas, including:
14LODH015 - 307m @ 0.55% zinc from 98m
14LODH018 - 192.4m @ 0.50% zinc from 0m
14 LODH020 - 31.2m @ 0.65% zinc and 0.19% lead from 14.7m
A large area (700m x 600m) of zinc - lead mineralisation has been outlined closely associated with the breccia system.
Further structural interpretation, geochemical analysis and geophysical interpretation of the dacite-breccia complex is required prior to considering further drilling to test for breccia-hosted mineralisation.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION - TABLE 1Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data - Las Opeñas
Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Certified Person Commentary |
Sampling techniques | Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. | Samp lin g wa s unde rta ke n us i ng s ta nda rd i ndus try p ra cti ces.

Sampling techniques | Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. | Di a mond d rill core was cut i n half for sampling a nd ha l f core s a mples su bmitted for a ssay.

Drilling techniques | Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). | Di a mon d core is HQ in s ize .

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. | No me ta l e quivalent va lues are cu rre ntly u sed for re p orti ng of e xploration re sults. | |
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths | These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle 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 (eg 'down hole length, true width not known'). | An a ccura te di p a nd s tri ke a nd the control s on mi ne ralisation are ye t to be de te rmi ne d a nd the true wi dth of the i nte rce pts a re not ye t known. |
Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. | Ap p rop riate p lans and section have b een in cluded in the body of thi s report. Drill h oles completed are s hown i n Fi gu res 1 to 5. |
Balanced reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. | Both hi gh a nd l ow gra de s ha ve be e n re porte d accu rate l y, cle a rly id e n tifie d with th e d rill h ol e a ttri bute s a nd 'From' a nd 'To' de pths . |
Other substantive exploration data | Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. | Se e Ge ne s i s ASX re l e a s e d a te d Octob e r 27, 2013 for i nforma ti on re ga rdi ng i nduce d pol a ri s a ti on s urve y comp l e te d a t th e p roje ct. |
