Rob is also an active Director of White Gold Corp.
Dr. Ramcharan has over 18 years of experience in operations, project evaluation, mergers and acquisitions, corporate development, project finance and investor relations.

Strategic Financing
Genesis will conduct a non-brokered private placement consisting of a combination of flow-through shares (“FT”) at a price of $0.09 per FT share with no warrant and units (“Units”) at a price of $0.07 per Unit for total gross proceeds of $350,000. Each FT share will consist of one “flow-through” common share and no warrant. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, and each whole such warrant will be exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 for a period of two years from closing.
The proceeds from the issuance of the FT shares will be used to incur exploration expenses on the Company’s Chevrier Gold deposit in Quebec, and the proceeds from the Units will be used by the Company for general working capital. The closing of the private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The Company may pay a finder’s fee in connection certain portions of the private placement. Dr. Carpenter, Dr. Ramcharan and Mr. Ainsworth will participate for a portion of the placement.
