Vector Geological Solutions Engaged to Aid in new Target Generation at Chevrier

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 19, 2019) - Genesis Metals Corp. (TSXV: GIS) ("Genesis" or the "Company") today announced that Genesis has engaged Vector Geological Solutions to aid in targeting of opportunities for resource expansion and new discoveries at Chevrier.

Dr. Robert Carpenter, Strategic Advisor, (See Genesis news release November 21, 2018) in collaboration with Daniel MacNeil and Dr. Alan Wainwright of Vector Geological Solutions, will be targeting new exploration opportunities on the Chevrier land position, near Chibougamau, Quebec. This highly accomplished team has extensive international gold and base metal exploration experience, and a track record of discoveries.

The team is applying modern gold exploration targeting methods to over 100 years of historical exploration data from the existing Chevrier gold deposits, as well as the greater 130 square kilometer contiguous claim block. The objective is to increase the grade and tonnage of the known deposits, and find new, high-grade gold deposits elsewhere on the highly prospective property.

Dr. Robert Carpenter has 25+ years of technical and executive experience for junior and major mining companies. He was co-founder, President and CEO of Kaminak Gold Corp. from 2005 to 2013, and led the company through the acquisition, discovery and maiden resource of the multi-million ounce Coffee Gold Project (Yukon).

Mr. MacNeil is a precious and base metal specialist with 18+ years of experience from continental-scale project generation to in-mine resource expansion in a wide variety of geological settings throughout the Americas and Europe. Dan currently consults with mid-tier, private and junior mining/exploration companies on property evaluations and drill targeting, globally.

Dr. Wainwright is an economic geologist with 20+ years of mineral exploration and research experience in North America, South America, Europe and Asia, focused on base metals and gold. Alan, along with Dr. Carpenter, was a co-recipient of the H.H. "Spud" Huestis Award (AME BC; 2013) for his role in the Coffee gold discovery in Yukon Territory (Kaminak Gold Corp).

*Both Indicated and Inferred categories comprise pit constrained and underground components with cut-off grades of 0.3 g/t Au and 0.95 g/t Au respectively. (previously disclosed in a Company news release dated February 6th, 2019)

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into Mineral Reserves. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. The CIM definitions were followed for the classification of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Mineral Resources as an Indicated Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated Mineral Resource category.
