Genius Properties Ltd. CSE: GNI

PRELIMINARY RESULTS AT THE BLOCKHOUSE GOLD PROPERTY

Genius Properties Ltd. (CSE: GNI) (“Genius” or the “Corporation” ) is pleased to

announce that preliminary results at Blockhouse indicates a new gold zone.

In January 2017, 644m of NQ core was drille d at Blockhouse, Nova Scotia. The drilling

was completed in late January 2017. Drilling targeted 2 geophysics targets outlined in the

2016 IP survey and all three known fissure t ype veins on the property. Additionally, two

holes perpendicular to bedding were complete d. Preliminary results showed a new zone

of Au mineralized quartz veins along a wider, perpendicular structure to the previously

mined Prest fissure vein.

Hole BH-17-01 was drilled NW perpendicular to bedding back towards the historic mine

workings. The hole was spotted so that it w ould intersect a histor ically mapped fault,

intersect the Prest vein below historic wo rkings and intersect a geophysics anomaly

outlined in the 2016 ground IP survey. This is the first drilling done to date at

Blockhouse that was not directly targeting the Prest vein. Results were encouraging as a

previously unknown zone of quartz veins w ith VG through the fault, showed 1.1g/t Au

over 9.55m, with subintervals of 1.6g/t Au over 6.2m and 3.4 g/t Au over 2.1m and

including peak grades of 25.7 g/t over 0.22m and 7.1 g/t over 0.24m. The true widths,

extent and orientation of the zone are not yet understood.

Additional samples have been sent to Actlabs , including several intersections of the Prest

vein, the east vein, the geophysics targets, a nd additional quartz veins through the fault.

The additional results should aid in defining the orientation of the new gold zone at

Blockhouse.

Core was boxed on site by the drill crew a nd transported to the core shack by Genius

personnel. Core was then logged and marked for sampling. Samples were sawn in half

with a diamond blade core saw. Half was sent to Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, On

in sealed bags, while half was retained. On ce at Actlabs, samples were pulverized and

fire assayed with Code 1A2-30. Samples contai ning visible gold were also submitted for

metallic screening, Code 1A4(100 mesh). QAQ C procedures included the systematic

insertion of certified reference standards and blanks which were reviewed to verify the

integrity of the lab results.

The technical sections of this press release have been prepared and reviewed by Alex

Mackay, P.Geo., and qualified person according to NI 43-101 guidelines.
