Genesis Metals Reports Phase I Drilling Program Resumes at Chevrier Gold Project, Quebec

May 14, 2020 - Vancouver, British Columbia, May 14th, 2020 – Genesis Metals Corp. ("Genesis" or the "Company") (TSX-V: GIS) is pleased to report that the temporary suspension of mineral exploration activities in Quebec announced in the Company’s March 10, 2020 news release has ended. The Phase I ~2,500 metre drilling program has recommenced and the Genesis Metals team is completing logging and sampling of remaining previously drilled core on site.

Prior to the work stoppage, a total of 2,008 metres in 8 holes of the planned ~2,500 metre Phase I program had been drilled, and a portion of the core was logged and sampled. The Phase I drilling has focused on improving definition and testing for expansion opportunities of modelled higher-grade domains which are interpreted to form of plunging “shoots” within the Chevrier Main deposit.

Genesis is also advancing with plans for a summer surface exploration program to assess a number of target areas on the property identified through a property wide glacial till survey carried out in 2019 and a comprehensive review of all available data on the +290 square kilometer project area. Genesis is currently fully funded for its planned work in 2020 and expects to announce further drilling plans as drilling results are received and interpreted and field work progresses.

The Company will continue to monitor the evolving COVID-19 situation and will comply with all government directives and pro-actively follow protocols consistent with minimizing the spread of the COVID-19 virus to protect the health of its work force and their local communities.

The +290 square kilometer road accessible Chevrier property covers a 15-kilometer extent of the Fancamp Deformation Zone, along which zones of gold mineralization are associated with high strain zones in predominantly mafic volcanic rocks. The property is contiguous with the high-grade Monster Lake gold project and 20 kilometers northeast of the new IAMGOLD Corporation/Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. 3.1 Moz Nelligan gold discovery. For additional details on the Chevrier Project, 2019 results and plans for 2020 please refer to the Company’s February 5, 2020 News Release.
