Genesis Metals Completes Trenching and Phase 1 Drill Programs at Chevrier

Genesis Metals Corp (TSX VENTURE: GIS) (“Genesis” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the concurrent completion of trenching and phase 1 drilling programs at the Chevrier gold project (the “Project”) near Chibougamau, Quebec.
Highlights of Drilling Program

• A total of 26 holes (4875 m) were completed within the area of the Main Zone.
• 14 holes within the Main Zone itself comprised of i) twin historic holes and, ii) holes to evaluate extensions to and to in-fill areas of known gold mineralization.
• The remaining 12 holes were designed to evaluate the source of anomalous Induced Polarization (“IP”) responses within an area close to the Main Zone.

Highlights of Trenching Program

• A total of 24 trenches were completed within both the Main Zone and East Zone. The East Zone is located near the northeastern corner of the Property and was previously explored by Falconbridge Copper in the early 1980’s. All trenches were designed to evaluate the source of anomalous IP responses.
• 13 trenches were completed within the area of the Main Zone.
• The remaining 11 trenches were within the area of the East Zone.

Concurrently with the above activities, the Company also completed the following:

• Collected 315 samples from 3 holes previously drilled within the Main Zone by Minnova in the 1990s. These samples were of sections of core that had not previously been sampled. The assay results from these will aid the Company in establishing whether gold mineralization may occur outside the previously sampled core sections.
• Similarly, 508 samples from 8 holes previously drilled by Falconbridge within the East Zone were collected for assay.
• 39 samples were collected for assay from prospecting activities within the area of the Main Zone.
• Channel sampling of the large outcrop area (approximately 125 m by 50 m) at the East Zone. This entailed 4 channel cuts, each up to 50 m in length, across the exposed outcrop. Previous work by Falconbridge had been restricted to several channels, 2 m or less in length across areas of quartz veining.

Assays for samples collected from the trenching work are expected to be received by the Company by mid-September with core assays to follow.
Preliminary Observations
Readers are cautioned that the following information is based only on field observations and that final results will be subject to further interpretation of geology and assays.

• The source of all IP anomalies appears to correspond to increased concentrations of sulphides within bedrock. The predominant sulphide is pyrite, though chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite are noted in many samples. In the majority of cases, the sulphide mineralization occurs within areas of increased quartz veining and alteration of host rocks.
• The twinned holes within the Main Zone intersected previously known areas of shearing with sulphides and alteration. Several in-fill and step-out holes also intersected areas of shearing with sulphides and alteration.
• One trench in the northern part of the Property and west of the East Zone has exposed an area, more than 15 m wide, of sheared and altered bedrock. The area appears to trend in an easterly direction which is consistent with observations within the East Zone and may be an extension of the East Zone along strike.

Genesis’ CEO Brian Groves commented, “We are pleased to announce the completion of our Phase 1 drilling and all trenching work on Chevrier. Our exploration team has admirably handled the demands of both activities and we look forward to the receipt of assay results.”
