ST-SAUVEUR, QUÉBEC — (August 8, 2018) -
Genius Properties Ltd. (CSE:GNI)(CSE:GNI.CN)(CNSX:GNI) (“Genius” or the “Corporation“) is pleased to
announce that that on 4 June 2018, Cerro de Pasco Resources S.A. (“Cerro de Pasco”), filed at the Ministry of
Energy and Mines, General Directorate of Environmental Mining Affair s, the Semi -Detailed Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA-SD) of the project involving the construction of 87 drilling platforms over an area of
80.67 hectares, which the company has decided to execute on its “El Metalurgista” concession, located at the
Simon Bolivar District, Province and Department of Pasco, Peru.
The purpose of this drilling campaign will be to confirm historical drill hole data, confirm consistency of grades
from historical drill holes for better modeling and planning and to establish a compliant NI 43 -101 resource
estimate.
The Semi -Detailed Environmental Impact Study (EIAsd) of the "Exploration of Quiulacocha and Excelsior
Deposits" project, Category II, has been prepared based on the regulations and standards issued by the Ministry
of Energy and Mines (MEM), in compliance with the provisions of Supreme Decree No. 020 -2008-EM:
Environmental Regulation for Mining Exploration Activity, also in the Terms of Referenc e for Mining
Exploration Activities established in Ministerial Resolution No. 167-2008-MEM / DM.
It is also worth noting that the district of Simon Bolivar is considered poor according to the quintile of deprivation
index. Of the total population, over 50 % do not have a sewer/drain and around 12% lack water and electricity
services. With that said it is necessary to emphasize the importance of reprocessing the Quiulacocha and
Excelsior Deposits because it is an opportunity to mitigate the environment while also encouraging the creation
of new jobs and reactivation of the local economy, which is of high importance for the city of Cerro De Pasco
and more specifically for the communities that are part of the area of direct influence.
