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.
