Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 30, 2021) - Genesis Metals Corp. (TSXV: GIS) ("Genesis" or the "Company") today reports it has completed the drilling program announced on April 21, 2021, at its Chevrier Gold Project in the Chibougamau Mining Camp of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Quebec. A total of 4692 metres in 23 holes were drilled.
The recently completed drilling program at Chevrier included 1364 metres in 5 holes (including one hole that was abandoned 14 metres down hole and re-drilled) at the Main Zone deposit stepping out from GM20-80 which intersected 13.46 g/t gold over 8.90 metres starting at 114.80 metres down hole and including 25.44 g/t gold over 3.00 metres (see January 21, 2021 News Release), and, 3328 metres in 18 holes (including 1 hole that was restarted after encountering a fault at 76 metres down hole) testing new exploration targets east of the Chevrier East Deposit as described in the April 21, 2021 News Release. Drilling results will be released when received and evaluated.
The Company has also recently contracted Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. to complete a 2,602-line kilometre helicopter borne magnetic survey covering parts of the 290 square kilometre project not covered (Figure 1) by the earlier airborne survey over the main Fancamp trend. A field program has commenced to follow-up areas with magnetic signatures consistent with interpreted gold-related structural traps with prospecting, mapping and sampling.
Genesis has also expanded the size of its October Gold Project in Ontario by staking an additional 81 claims along its northern boundary to bring the overall project size to 254 square kilometres. The Company is planning an initial surface exploration program for 2021 to identify prospective gold targets on the large strategically located property.

The property has prospective geology, structural setting and regional gold endowment.
