About the Company

Gen Mining's focus is the development of the Marathon Deposit in northwestern Ontario, the largest undeveloped platinum group metal Mineral Resource in North America. A Feasibility Study is under way with completion expected in the current quarter. Gen Mining announced on Nov. 30, 2020 that it has increased its interest in the property to 80%. As a result, Gen Mining and partner Sibanye Stillwater (Sibanye) will be required to fund future expenditures on a pro rata basis (80% funded by the Company and 20% by Sibanye) in order to maintain their respective interests in the Project, subject to standard dilution provisions. Upon completion o the Feasibility Study and a positive production decision, Sibanye will have certain back-in rights that can bring its interest to 51% (see the Company's press release of July 11, 2019 for more details).
