Genius Metals Provides an Update on its 2022 Exploration Program
at Sakami
MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC, CANADA — (January 11, 2022) - Genius Metals Inc. (TSX.V: GENI) (“Genius
Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to present the details of its fully-funded 2022 exploration
campaign to be carried out on its Sakami property located in the James Bay Territory, Quebec.
Winter Drilling Campaign on the Trans-Taïga Showing
Following the discovery of significant gold intersections, obtained through channel sampling on
the Trans-Taiga showing (e.g., 2.62 g/t Au over 7.40 m. (including 5.7 g/t over 2.50 m.) and 1.18
g/t Au over 3.50 m; Press release of November 16, 2021), Genius Metals will implement a 500 m
drilling ca mpaign to test this mineralization at depth . It is anticipated that the program will
commence in February 2022.
Extension of the Resistivity/IP Survey on the GoldenEye Showing
A 35 km long Resistivity/IP survey will be conducted on the GoldenEye showing, extending
westward the previous survey completed in 2018. Geophysique TMC has been contracted to
perform the survey due to start in the 3rd week of February 2022. The objective is to verify the
extension of the linear gold-bearing structure outlined by a prior drill program.
High resolution MAG Survey on the Langelier Complex
The Company also contracted Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. to undertake a heliborne high -
resolution MAG survey in January 2022 over the western part of the newly acquired claims that
encompass the Trans -Taiga and Doukha showings. The survey is intended to provide a better
understanding of the complex lithology/ structure and to serve as a guide for future exploration
work in the area.
The Langelier Complex consists of a Mesoarchean gneissic tonalitic to dioritic basement intruded
by Neoarchean mafic to felsic plutonic rocks. The Complex was bypassed during earlier
exploration for gold in the James Bay Territory which focused on greensto ne belts . Recently
however junior mining companies Harfang Exploration Inc. and LaSalle Exploration Corp.
discovered numerous high -grade gold showings in this type of geological environment. Genius
Metals secured new ground in the Langelier Complex by stak ing 189 claims (see PR of July 22,
2021).
Spring 2022 Drilling Program
The Company intends to carry out a 3000m drilling campaign in the spring of 2022 based on the
results obtained during its previous drilling campaign. Gold prospective zones identified in 2021
through geophysical surveying, geological mapping and rock sampling will also be investigated.
