Private Placement and Concurrent Consolidation

The Company plans to consolidate the Company's common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for every five (5) pre-consolidation common shares (the "Proposed Consolidation"). In addition, the Company intends to raise up to $3.5 million through a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement").

The Company plans to raise up to an aggregate of $3.5 million through the sale of up to 3,125,000 flow-through common shares (the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.32 per FT share and up to 11,111,111 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.225 per Unit, all on a post-consolidation basis. Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one warrant; each whole such warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.33 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

The Company will have the option to increase the size of each offering by up to 25% which, if fully exercised, would bring the aggregate gross amount raised under the offerings to $4,375,000.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares intended to be used to incur exploration expenses on the Company's Chevrier Gold project in Quebec and the net proceeds from the sale of the Units are intended to be used for general working capital purposes.

The Company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the Private Placement. The Private Placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and all securities issued and issuable pursuant thereto will be subject to a four-month hold period.

Proposed Consolidation

Subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, the Company intends to complete the Proposed Consolidation immediately prior to closing of the Private Placement. Genesis currently has 109,939,095 common shares issued and outstanding and, after giving effect to the Proposed Consolidation, the Company expects to have approximately 21,987,819 common shares issued and outstanding on an undiluted basis and excluding any securities to be issued pursuant to the Private Placement.

The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of Genesis' outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Proposed Consolidation in accordance with the terms of such securities. Where the Proposed Consolidation results in a fractional common share, the number of common shares will be rounded to the nearest whole common share.
