Genius Metals Enhances its Properties Portfolio

ST-SAUVEUR, QC, Nov. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - Genius Metals Inc. (CSE: GENI) ("Genius") is pleased to announce  transactions which strengthen its mining properties portfolio in Quebec:

  • Staking of additional claims tied to its Sakami Gold Project in the James Bay area;
  • Acquisition of the Iserhoff Property Au;
  • Genius to start Exploration Programs at Sakami and Iserhoff;
  • Genius to adopt a Sustainable Development Policy

Genius Metals stakes Additional Claims adding to its Sakami Gold Project in the James Bay area

Genius stakes additional claims southwest and northeast of the Northern Sakami Block located in the James Bay area of the Province of Québec.

The new claims, 21 in total, cover an area of 10.81 km2, bringing the total number of the Northern Sakami block to 73 claims with an area of 47.8 km2. Significant geochemical humus anomalies were discovered in 2011 during the exploration of the Southern Sakami claim block, some reaching up to 0.552 g/t Au.

Genius is currently conducting induced polarization, magnetic and VLF geophysical ground-based surveys on the Northern Sakami claim block.

The Sakami property, located in the James Bay area of the Province of Quebec, straddles the structural contact between the Opinaca and La Grande Archean subprovinces which exposes a significant number of gold showings related to sulphide-rich quartz veins in iron formations and shear zones. The Sakami property displays diverse lithologies showing signs of alteration and/or gold mineralization (Au =1 to 5 g/t) principally associated with mylonitic or sheared zones.

Iserhoff Gold Property

Genius will purchase a 100% interest in the Iserhoff Property in consideration of the issuance of 500,000 common shares of the Company. The property will be subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty (NSR) on production, half of which can be bought back for a cash payment of $1,000,000.

The Iserhoff Property is located in the northern Abitibi Greenstone belt, Quebec in the central and western areas of Bergères Township, about 55 km NNE of Lebel-sur-Quévillion, Québec. The gold property comprises 29 mining claims totaling 1,621.68 ha or 16.22 km² which will be 100% owned by Genius Metals. The property can be accessed by a network of forestry roads some of which join provincial highway 113 connecting Lebel-sur-Quévillion with Chibougamau.

The property is underlain by highly and multiply deformed Archean intermediate volcanic rocks (andesite-dacite) and metasediments (greywacke) metamorphosed to the amphibolite grade. Iserhoff was acquired in view of the encouraging drilling campaign results obtained by O'Brien Gold Mines Limited showing five short DDH extending for 3.5 km along strike and yielding anomalous gold values at shallow depth (ex: 1.40 g/t @ 8.3 m, 1.24 g/t @ 14.5 m and 1.24 g/t @ 5.9 m) with locally some associated silver, lead and zinc content.  Strong IP anomalies in the central portion of the Iserhoff property are related to narrow (0.5 to 3 m), somewhat discontinuous, bands of massive to semi-massive pyrrhotite and pyrite-rich-rocks which returned low base metal values.

Genius will pursue a ground-based IP/resistivity survey on the property.

René Branchaud is Appointed to the Board of Director

The Corporation is pleased to announce the appointment of René Branchaud to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. He will also act as Corporate Secretary.

René Branchaud obtained a diploma in law from Université Laval in 1982. He is a member of the Québec bar since 1983 and has been with the law firm Lavery, de Billy since that year. He is a partner and chairman of the board of directors of Lavery, de Billy.

He is also a director or secretary of several mining listed companies.

Sustainable Development Policy

The Board of direction adopted a sustainable development policy. Genius's goal is to create long-term value in the mining exploration, mineral resources extraction and metal production activities. The Company works in collaboration with all stakeholders in order to make sure that the principles of transparency and responsibility are respected in all our activities.

Genius approach to health and security, environment and communities is central to our activities and is a part of our business model.
