CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Predictive Discovery Limited (‘PDI’) has had a very successful year. Our work in Burkina Faso is bearing fruit with the exciting new discovery at the Bongou prospect in our Bonsiega tenements. Following the early discovery holes in 2012, further drilling has given us some of the highest grades and widths seen anywhere in Eastern Burkina Faso with intersections such as:
-
48m at 4.3g/t from 34m including 16m at 9.7g/t,
-
26m at 6.9g/t including 16m at 8.9 g/t and
-
10m at 7.4 g/t.
Bongou was highlighted as a high priority target by the company’s unique structural analysis technology, even though sampling of the artisanal workings returned low grades. The mineralisation at Bongou is hosted in an altered microgranite, a different setting to most other orogenic gold systems. The controls and limits on the system are yet to be defined and will form the basis of the next drilling campaign. In addition several new targets have been discovered under shallow cover within a few hundred metres of Bongou.
The Bongou discovery has additional significance for PDI. It occurs on a major north east trending structure that persists along the length of our Bonsiega tenements. Further similar settings along this structure provide a focus for future exploration, in my view considerably upgrading the potential of the whole package.
Other highlights for the year have included further encouraging results from the Bangaba permit, both at Tambiri and Solna, and the acquisition of the Bira prospect in the north of the Bonsiega tenements where past exploration has defined coherent gold mineralisation over more than 500m. I have also been encouraged by the results we received from preliminary metallurgical test work on samples from a number our prospects which showed that in all likelihood none of our high grade prospects contain refractory gold.
More recently the exploration team has acquired new tenements in Cote D’Ivoire. Over the past few years PDI has identified a number of high priority prospects and targets. These applications are in response to the considerable improvement in the political and working environment in Cote D’Ivoire following years of unrest.
During the year PDI has taken steps to curtail its costs in response to the current market environment. Our exploration program has become more focused and the number of staff in Burkina Faso and Australia has been reduced. Two of our founding directors, Dr Bobby Danchin and Dr Tom Whiting have retired from the board. Their involvement with PDI goes back to before the very beginning of the company and I thank them for their contribution over a long period of time. Both Bobby and Tom remain keenly interested in PDI’s progress.
On behalf of all of the shareholders thank you to Paul and the exploration team in Burkina Faso and Australia for a great year in the face of challenging market conditions. To me their success demonstrates the substance of our programs and our approach.
Finally a big thank you to you, the shareholders, for your support over the last year. PDI has an excellent portfolio of projects led by Bongou and I look forward to an exciting year ahead.

Predictive Discovery Limited ( PDI ) carried out a substantial and successful exploration program in 2012‐ 2013.
Significant achievements included:
-
High grade drill intercepts from the Bongou, Solna, Tambiri and Madyabari Prospects in Burkina Faso, including:
-
Bongou:
-
48m at 4.3g/t Au from 34m including 16m at 9.7g/t Au
-
26m at 6.9g/t Au from 111m including 16m at 8.9g/t Au
-
10m at 7.4g/t Au from 47m
-
-
Solna:
-
2m at 26g/t Au from 70m
-
2m at 12g/t Au from 12m
-
-

- 4m at 6.1g/t Au from 83m
-
Madyabari:
- 3m at 8.3g/t Au from 23m including 1m at 23g/t Au
-
Completion of a large exploration program in Burkina Faso involving 4,700m of reverse circulation ( RC ) and 4,400m of power auger drilling, 242 line km of ground magnetics and induced polarization geophysical surveys and 129 km[2] of geological mapping.
-
Excellent gold recoveries from preliminary metallurgical testwork on four prospects in Burkina Faso, including Bongou.
-
Grant of the Bira exploration permit within the Bonsiega Project, including a prospect drilled by Anglo American in the late 1990’s with excellent drill results.
-
Grant of two exploration permits in Cote D’Ivoire with three permit applications pending. These include the well mineralised Kokumbo permit, near the Bonikro Gold Mine. If PDI obtains all three of the applications, it will hold 1,700km[2] of highly prospective exploration ground in Cote D’Ivoire.

INTRODUCTION
PDI is e x ploring fo r large, hi g h value g o ld deposits i n West Afri c a. The Co m pany’s proj e ct focus is on 12 gol d explorati o n permits in Burkina Faso, West Africa, coveri n g a total a r ea of 1,533 k m[2] . Within those a r eas, PDI h as concentr a ted its drilling program s in the east of the coun t ry on a seri e s of prospe c ts.
The Co m pany also has a gr o wing ground position in Cote D’Iv o ire; at pres e nt 790 km [2] is held in granted ex p loration permits and a further 9 2 0 km[2] is un d er application.
P D I’s exploration str a tegy begins with i d entification of high p r iority regi o ns within w ell mineralised terrai n s using a n alyses of c o untry‐scale geophysi c al, geolo g ical and m ineral depo s it data. Gr o und‐based work then i n volves ext e nsive geo p hysical su r veys and g e ological m a pping, foll o wed by ge o chemistry a n d drilling.
P D I’s Predict o re® technol o gy plays a c ritical role i n identifying high priorit y targets at all scales ‐ from country scale area s election to d rill target p r ioritisation.
BURKINA FASO GOLD PROJECTS
B u rkina Faso is a landloc k ed country , bounded t o the south b y Ghana, C o te D’Ivoire , Togo and B e nin, to the west by M a li and to t h e east by Niger (Figure 1). Gold mining in th e past was c o nfined to artisanal mining and one s u bstantial m ining oper a tion at Po u ra in the w est of the country which closed in 1999.
BACKGROUND
PDI’s Bu r kina Faso projects a r e all located within the Birimian g old belts i n West Afri c a. These belts contain n u merous go l d ore depo s its (Figure 1), many of w h ich are in production.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS…..
In the pa s t nine year s , however, t here has been a strong resurgence in explora t ion and mine develop m ent, stimulated espe c ially by the release o f new minin g regulation s in 2003. The Taparko, Mana, Kals a ka, Inata, Essakane, Bi s sa and You g a gold min e s are now in producti o n. Of these , the large s t known d e posits are at Mana and Essakane . In addition, exploration results a nnounced by Orbis Gold Limited (Natougou and Na b anga), A m pella Mining Limited ( Batie West), Gryphon Minerals L td (Banfora) , Roxgold Resources (Yaramok o ), Golden Rim Res o urces (Netiana), Volta Resource s Inc. (Ki a ka), True Gold Mining (Karma) and Ore z one Gold Corporati o n (Bombor e ) suggest that more gol d mines will be develope d in future years.

I n common w ith other W est African countries, t h e Government has th e right to t a ke a free c a rried interest of 10% in any ore deposit that is b r ought into p roduction. Gold minin g royalties r a nge from 3 % to 5% d e pending o n the gold p r ice. The r a te of corporate tax for mining c o mpanies is 17.5%. Discussions be t ween the Government and the m ining indu s try about p o ssible cha n ges to the Mining Ac t and the t a xation cod e have been ongoing for the past y e ar but no d e cisions hav e yet been m ade.
I n Burkina Fa s o, PDI hol d s rights to e xplore 12 g r anted expl o ration per m its coveri n g a total a r ea of 1,533 km[2] . A thirt e enth permit, Bassieri, c o vering an additional 7 4 km[2] , is clos e to grant.

Bongou Metallurgical Test Work
A program of preliminary metallurgical test work was carried out with the aim of providing an indication of potential gold recovery by standard CIL treatment. One sample was submitted for metallurgical test work, weighing 20kg, obtained from seven RC drill holes. The test work was carried out at SGS’s Perth laboratories under the supervision of Coffey Mining. A mineralogical study was also carried out by Roger Townend and Associates.
All of the sampled intervals in the Bongou composite sample were of primary (not oxidised) mineralisation. A 500g screen fire assay of the composite sample at SGS in Perth gave a head grade of 2.92g/t (per tonne of ore) Au and a multi‐element ICP analysis indicated low levels of potentially deleterious elements (e.g. arsenic and antimony).
The sample was ground to 75 microns and subjected to a standard cyanide leach test over 72 hours. Gold recovery was 94% at the end of the test with 90% recovered in the first four
hours (Figure 9). Cyanide and lime consumption were 2.0kg/t and 0.3kg/t respectively. Cyanide consumption was not optimised and is expected to decrease considerably in future testing when oxygen levels are increased to the levels expected in a commercial CIP plant.
OTHER DRILLING PROGRAMS
LATERITE HILL GOLD FIELD (PDI 100%)
PDI completed two RC drilling programs, totalling 1,590m, at Prospect 71 and the Madyabari artisanal site during the 2012‐13 year.
PROSPECT 71
Prospect 71 covers a laterally extensive bedrock geochemical anomaly within the Laterite Hill Gold Field (Figure 2). Four holes totalling 320m were drilled to follow up drilling results obtained previously by PDI and a former explorer, Emerging African Gold, including 4m at 15g/t Au and 4m at 7.5g/t Au . One significant intersection was obtained – 3m at 6.1g/t Au including 1m at 14g/t Au .

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS…..
MADYABARI PROSPECT
Madyabari is the site of an artisanal miner gold rush which was first reported in November 2012. At least 2,000 artisanal shafts have been excavated there, most of them since July 2012.
Seventeen vertical RC holes, totalling 1,590m, were drilled at Madyabari on an 80 x 80m grid. About half of the drill holes intersected gold anomalous quartz veins in weathered volcanics at shallow depths. Based on the drilling results and the artisanal miners’ own descriptions, these veins appear to be approximately horizontal. The best drill intercepts were 3m at 8.3g/t Au from 23m, including 1m at 23g/t Au and 2m at 8.3g/t Au from 34m including 1m at 14g/t Au . In several holes, voids were intersected suggesting that possible high grade quartz vein material had already been removed by the artisanal miners.
While there is no doubt that artisanal miners have been recovering a significant amount of gold from the site and that the flat dipping quartz vein system extends over an area of more than five hectares, it appears that the high grade distribution is very “nuggetty” and therefore difficult to drill test effectively. No further drilling is planned in the short term.
DAVE PROSPECT (PDI 100%)
Geological Assessment
The Dave Prospect is known to consist of multiple gold mineralised zones extending for at least 5.5km along strike and several hundred metres across strike (Figures 1 and 8). Artisanal workings extend for approximately 600m of strike. But the gold mineralisation is much more extensive than these workings; it is buried under a thin ferricrete layer east of the workings, and under alluvium derived from the Sirba River west of the workings. The gold mineralised system may extend for up to 10km further to the west, concealed beneath the Sirba River which bedrock power auger drilling is unable to penetrate.
Gold mineralisation is hosted in intermediate volcanic rocks with lesser amounts of mafic to intermediate intrusive rocks. PDI’s analysis
suggests that gold mineralisation has been deposited in a broad ENE oriented shear zone largely on the margins of small mafic layers or in small shears. Weathering extends to an average depth of approximately 50m. In general, gold grades are moderate, with many assays recorded in the 1 to 2g/t Au range, however significantly higher grade intercepts are also present (e.g. 26m at 5.0g/t Au).
Re‐logging of the Dave Prospect RC drill chips by an MSc student from the Camborne School of Mines in the United Kingdom commenced in June 2013. This work forms part of a larger geological study designed to integrate all of the past work on this large gold mineralised system. Apart from the extensive drilling programs, the past work has included geological mapping, airborne magnetics, bedrock geochemical drilling, whole rock analysis using a hand‐held XRF machine, trenching and in‐hole photographic imaging. The result of this study will be a 3D interpretation of the geology and mineralisation. If possible, this may then be used to undertake a JORC Resource estimate.
Metallurgical Testwork
A program of preliminary metallurgical test work was carried out with the aim of gaining a preliminary understanding of the potential for gold recovery by heap leaching the oxidised Dave gold mineralisation. The test work was carried out at SGS’s Perth laboratories under the supervision of Coffey Mining. A mineralogical study was also carried out by Roger Townend and Associates.
One composite sample from seven RC drill holes weighing 20kg was submitted for metallurgical test work. A 500g screen fire assay of the composite sample at SGS in Perth gave a head grade of 1.45g/t Au and a multi‐ element ICP analysis indicated low levels of potentially deleterious elements apart from minor arsenic (580ppm).
The sample was largely composed of fine material as a result of the RC drilling process. It was therefore taken without any further grinding and subjected to an intermittent bottle roll in a weak cyanide solution for a period of ten days.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS…..
Most gold was extracted very quickly with 70% gold recovery achieved after just 4 hours and 81% after one day. At the end of the test 89% of the gold had been recovered . Had the material been ground to 75 microns, a slightly higher recovery may well have been achieved. Cyanide consumption was low at just 0.3kg/t with lime consumption at 2.9kg/t.
BIRA PERMIT (PDI 100%)
This new permit covers an area of 21km[2] in the north‐eastern portion of the Bonsiega block of tenements (Figure 2) and was granted in February 2013.
PDI has been interested in this area since 2010 when it commenced exploration on the
adjacent permit. Until late last year, the area was unavailable for application because it was covered by a uranium exploration reserve. PDI applied for the ground after this reserve was removed.
The area was explored by Anglo American through its subsidiary Anmercosa in the late 1990’s. PDI holds a database of Anmercosa information including soil geochemistry and RC drill data from the Bira permit.
The RC drill data includes a series of very encouraging gold intersections (Figures 10 and 11). While PDI does not have access to the quality control data and the original laboratory assay files, it has verified the location of some of the drill holes on the ground.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS…..
Gold mineralisation was intersected in a series of holes extending over more than 1km of strike. Some of the best intercepts (e.g. 14.5m at 3.1g/t Au and 13m at 2.5g/t Au ) were obtained in a series of shallow angled holes in two lines in the HL10 series of holes (Figure 10) which were drilled to depths of 15 to 30m.
The consistency of reported intercepts from section to section and down‐dip from hole to hole (Figure 11) in the southern part of the drilled area suggests good continuity, which, if confirmed by PDI’s drilling, will be important for the delineation of a JORC resource in the future.
During 2012‐13, PDI carried out a ground magnetic survey, totalling 161 line km, and a
power auger bedrock drilling program totalling 77 holes and 936m. Power auger drill samples were collected at the interface between the overlying cover and the weathered bedrock and analysed by for gold by AAS at SGS in Ouagadougou.
The ground magnetic survey revealed a new structure, parallel to the Bira trend, under alluvial cover 2km west of the known Bira Prospect. The power auger drilling, designed to test this structure, was not completed because of wet, thick alluvial cover. As a result, the highest priority interpreted structure was only intersected by two lines, one of which encountered a 50m wide anomalous zone peaking at 104ppb Au.

METALLURGICAL TESTWORK
A program of preliminary metallurgical test work was carried out with the aim of obtaining an initial indication of gold recoveries by standard CIL treatment of gold mineralisation from the Solna and Tambiri Prospects. Two samples were submitted for metallurgical test work, one from each prospect, each weighing 20kg. All samples were obtained from RC drill holes.
The test work was carried out at SGS’s Perth laboratories under the supervision of Coffey Mining. A mineralogical study was also carried out by Roger Townend and Associates.
Solna Metallurgy
The composite sample consisted of primary mineralisation containing minor sulphides. A 500g screen fire assay of the composite sample at SGS in Perth gave a head grade of 7.65g/t Au and a multi‐element ICP analysis indicated low levels of potentially deleterious elements. The sample was ground to 75 microns and subjected
to a standard cyanide leach test over 72 hours. Gold recovery was 96% at the end of the test with 91% recovered in the first four hours. Cyanide and lime consumption were 1.9kg/t and 0.3kg/t respectively. Cyanide consumption was not optimised and is expected to decrease considerably in future test work.
Tambiri Metallurgy
Again, the sample consisted of primary mineralisation. A 500g screen fire assay of the composite sample at SGS in Perth gave a head grade of 3.55g/t Au and a multi‐element ICP analysis indicated low levels of potentially deleterious elements. The sample was ground to 75 microns and subjected to a standard cyanide leach test over 72 hours. Gold recovery was 93% at the end of the test with 85% recovered in the first four hours. Cyanide and lime consumption were 2.0kg/t and 0.3kg/t respectively. Again, cyanide consumption was not optimised and is expected to decrease in future test work.

COTE D’IVO
IRE
T h e town of Kokumbo, n ear the ce n tre of the p e rmit, services a substantial population of a r tisanal min e rs who are working on numerous p r ospects thr o ughout the area. Thes e prospects c o nsist of both quartz vein mine ope r ations and p r ocessing of gold mineralised laterit e .
BACKGROUND
Detailed w ork on Cote D’Ivoire d ata sets o v er the past two to th r ee years has led PDI to identify a series of high priority prospects and targets in Cote D’Ivoire. As a result, t he Company has been w orking on s ecuring up to five expl o ration permits in the co u ntry, cover i ng a total ar e a of 1,700 k m[2] . Of thes e , two perm i ts, Kokumbo and Ferkes s edougou, w ere grante d in July 201 3 and a f urther thr e e are un d er applicati o n (Figure 16). Grant of the th r ee applicati o ns to PDI is not guarant e ed.
T h e permit li e s within th e volcano‐s e dimentary Oume‐Fetekr o belt in an area o f complex g e ology (Fig u re 17). Th e three pri n cipal gold p r ospects o n the pe r mit are k nown as K o kumbo, A o uadia and K polessou ( F igure 17). A l l three site s contain q u artz vein‐h o sted gold m ineralisatio n in multi p le vein orientations. Host rocks include mafic volcanics, b lack shale a n d granite. C urrently, t h e most active area of a r tisanal wor k ings is at A o uadia.
KOKUMBO (PDI earning 90%)
The per m it is held by local c ompany Ivoir Negoce a nd covers an area of 400 km[2] in southern Cote D’Iv o ire (Figure s 16 and 17). Located 30km south of the count r y’s administ r ative capi t al, Yamoussoukro, and about 4 0 km north of Newcrest’s operat i ng Bonikro G old Mine, the permit i s serviced b y a bitumen road and a power lin e . The area is covered b y forested rolling hills and extensive lateritic c o ver.
K o kumbo ha s a long hist o ry of artisanal mining d a ting back t o before colonial times in the late 1 9 th century. Commer c ial scale m ining was c a rried out by various p a rties in from early in t h e twentieth century un t il 1953. Sin c e then, all m ining in th e area has been carri e d out by a r tisanal min e rs.

PDI to make cash payments over three years totalling US$375,000 as follows:
-
US$25,000 on receipt of the signed Presidential Decree awarding the permit,
-
US$50,000 on the first anniversary,
-
US$100,000 on the second anniversary,
-
US$200,000 on the third anniversary.
In addition, PDI will issue to Ivoir Negoce US$25,000 worth of PDI shares on receipt of the Presidential Decree. The first payment and share issue were made in August 2013.
- PDI to carry Ivoir Negoce’s 10% share of expenditure until the decision to mine at which time Ivoir Negoce must decide whether it will pay back its 10% share of expenditure after earn‐in or convert to a 3.5% NSR. PDI can purchase up to 2% of the above NSR (leaving Ivoir Negoce with 1.5%), at any time at a price of US$1 million for each 1%.
FERKESSEDOUGOU (PDI earning 100%)
The Ferkessedougou permit is located in northern Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 16) and covers approximately 390km[2] . It was among the highest priority areas highlighted by PDI’s Predictore® analysis of the country and is reported to contain a series of gold occurrences. This permit was granted in July 2013.
OTHER PERMIT APPLICATIONS
Three other exploration permit applications covering approximately 920km[2 ] are currently being considered by the Cote d’Ivoire Ministry of Mines (Figure 16). Of these, two ‐ Boundiali and Kounahiri – are PDI applications. The third, Komboro, is an application made by a third party with which PDI negotiated an agreement in 2011‐12. Should all these permits be granted, the Company would then hold 1,710 km[2] of highly prospective gold exploration ground in Cote D’Ivoire.
The Boundiali exploration permit application is of particular interest. It is located within the same greenstone belt as the Syama, Sissingue and Tongon gold deposits (Figure 16). The permit application lies directly along strike from Syama and Sissingue. Syama is a large gold mine in Mali owned by Resolute Mining Limited (ASX: RSG) and Sissingue is an undeveloped gold deposit in northern Cote D’Ivoire owned by Perseus Mining Limited (ASX:PRU).
Favourable geology in the Boundiali permit includes a mixture of granite, schist, gabbro and sedimentary rocks. Numerous gold occurrences are recorded on geological maps and other databases. A major shear zone is also mapped through the permit, which has the potential to host gold mineralization.
AUSTRALIAN GOLD PROJECT
VICTORIA
PDI has only one project remaining in Australia – in Victoria, west of Ballarat. The Company’s objective there is the discovery of a large gold deposit on the margins of one of more concealed volcanic domes beneath basalt cover (cf. the 5 million ounce Stawell gold deposit in Western Victoria).
Work done on the project in 2012‐13 consisted of limited amount of geological mapping and geophysical data interpretation. PDI surrendered the Skipton Exploration Licence during 2012‐13 and has since surrendered the Woady Creek Exploration Licence. A new Exploration Licence, EL5434, covering 150 km[2] was granted to PDI in
August 2013.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS…..
CORPORATE
PDI listed on 1[st] December 2010, following a heavily oversubscribed IPO. The Company raised $4.2 million during 2012‐2013 via a rights issue in July 2012 and a placement in November 2012.
The Company took a number of steps to reduce its overhead costs during 2012‐2013. The Australia‐based Exploration Manager was retrenched and the Burkina Faso team was reduced in size significantly, leaving PDI with a core group of four experienced geologists in the country. Office costs were also reduced by sub‐ letting office space. PDI’s Board was also reduced from five to three members during the year in the interest of reducing overhead costs.
OUTLOOK
BURKINA FASO
PDI’s immediate focus continues to be on high grade gold targets with strong evidence of good gold mineralisation continuity. The first priority in the 2013‐2014 field season is therefore to drill additional holes at Bongou, where drilling in 2012‐2013 revealed high grade gold mineralisation with good continuity. Exploration will also be carried out on the Laterite Hill Gold Field, especially along the
42km strike length of the Bongou structure to identify more high grade gold targets.
Limited exploration of other areas will be carried out to ensure that the entire tenement holding remains in good standing, focused on testing prospects with potential for high gold grades and good ore continuity.
The Company’s key objective is to build an inventory of high grade resources as a nucleus for a future mining operation and then return to testing the more moderate grade mineralisation which has already been identified in reconnaissance drilling in the Laterite Hill Gold Field.
COTE D’IVOIRE
PDI will commence low key exploration on its two granted permits in October 2013. Work will commence with compilation of past data, geological mapping, ground magnetic surveys and geochemical sampling. The initial aim of the 2013‐2014 work program will be to identify targets for reconnaissance RAB drilling.
VICTORIA
The Company will carry out a limited geophysical and geological mapping program aimed at identifying a Stawell type drilling target on EL5434.
Competent Persons Statement
The exploration results reported herein, insofar as they relate to mineralisation, are based on information compiled by Mr Paul Roberts (Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists). Mr Roberts is a full time employee of the company and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits being considered to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code, 2004 Edition). Mr Roberts consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The names of the directors in office at any time during, or since the end of the year are:
NAMES POSITION Mr Phillip Harman Non‐Executive Chairman Mr Paul Roberts Managing Director Mr Philip Henty Non‐Executive Director Dr Thomas Whiting Non‐Executive Director (resigned 21 May 2013) Dr Robert Danchin Non‐Executive Director (resigned 21 May 2013)
The Directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.
COMPANY SECRETARY
Mr Ian Hobson holds a bachelor of business degree and is a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Secretary. Mr Hobson provides company secretarial and corporate, management and accounting advice to a number of listed public companies involved in the resource, mining services and oil and gas industries. He was appointed on 17 September 2010.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
During the financial year, the principal activity of The Group was mineral exploration with the objective of identifying and developing economic reserves in West Africa and Australia.
OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD
The consolidated loss of The Group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $1,057,479 (2012: $2,706,350). This was largely from the costs of administering The Group to 30 June 2013, impairment of exploration and exploration costs.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
In the year to June 2013, Predictive Discovery Limited (PDI) undertook a substantial and successful work program. Capital raisings during the year totaled $4,177,969 million via a rights issue in July 2012 and a placement in November 2012. Staff numbers were reduced in both Australia and Burkina Faso reflecting the difficult capital raising environment during the year. One permit was granted in Burkina Faso, covering 21 km[2] and a second permit, covering 74 km[2] was close to grant at June 2013; both areas form part of the Bonsiega Permit Group.
Exploration programs in Burkina Faso were focused especially on the Madyabari, Sirba, Bangaba, Tyekanyebi and Boussouma exploration permits. 9,100m of drilling was completed, consisting of 4,700m of reverse circulation and 4,400m of power auger drilling. 129 km[2] of tenement area was geologically mapped and 242 line km surveyed with ground magnetics and induced polarization surveys.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT….
Very promising drill results were obtained on the Laterite Hill Gold Field and the Bangaba permit including 48m at 4.3 g/t Au, 26m at 6.9g/t Au and 10m at 7.4g/t Au at the Bongou Prospect (Madyabari permit) and 2m at 26/t Au at the Solna Prospect (Bangaba permit). This work highlighted the potential of the 43km long Bongou Fault Zone.
Preliminary metallurgical testwork results on the Bongou, Tambiri, Solna and Dave Prospects in Eastern Burkina Faso resulted in excellent gold recoveries from all four prospects.
Project generation activities in West Africa, using the Predictore® technology, continued during the year. This led to application for three permits in Cote D’Ivoire, covering a total area of 1,140km[2] and successful negotiations with an Ivoirian company to acquire a fourth permit, Kokumbo, covering 400km[2] . At the end of June, both Kokumbo and one of the three PDI applications, Ferkessedougou, had been approved by the Council of Ministers, the final step before receipt of the Presidential Decrees granting the two permits.
The Company surrendered its Skipton Exploration Licence in Victoria, reducing the Company’s holdings there to one 2 km[2] granted Exploration Licence.
DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED
No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.
FINANCIAL POSITION
The net assets of The Group have increased by $5,069,619 from 30 June 2012 to 30 June 2013. This increase is largely due to the following factors:
-
$4,177,969 capital raising;
-
Expenditure on exploring and evaluating the assets in Burkina Faso; and
-
$787,500 share‐based payment to acquire the balance of El Dore Joint Venture permits.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
No significant changes in The Group’s state of affairs occurred during the financial year.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE
In accordance with the purchase agreement for the Cote d’Ivoire Kokumbo permit, the Company has paid the first instalment of USD$25,000 and issued USD$25,000 worth of shares on 20 August 2013 to Ivoir Negoce. No other matters or circumstances have arisen for the year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Likely developments in the operations of The Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years have not been included in this report, as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to The Group.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT….
30 JUNE 2013
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
REMUNERATION POLICY
It is the policy of the Company that, except in special circumstances, non executive directors normally be remunerated by way of fixed fees, should not receive a bonus or options and should not be provided with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation.
The Board, within the limit pre‐approved by shareholders, determines fees payable to individual non executive directors. The remuneration level of any executive director or other senior executive is determined by the Board after taking into consideration levels that apply to similar positions in comparable companies in Australia and taking account of the individual’s possible participation in any equity based remuneration scheme. The Board may use industry wide data gathered by independent remuneration experts annually as its point of reference. Options or shares issued to any director pursuant to any equity based remuneration scheme require approval by shareholders prior to their issue. Options or shares granted to senior executives who are not directors are issued by resolution of the Board.
It is the policy of the Company that persons to whom options have been issued should not enter into any transaction in any associated product which is designed to limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under an equity based remuneration scheme.
There are no schemes for retirement benefits, other than the payment of the statutory superannuation contribution for non executive and executive directors.
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as qualifications, expertise, experience etc.), superannuation and fringe benefits and are eligible for the grant of options under the Employee Option Plan.
The Board policy is to remunerate non executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for the time, commitment and responsibilities.
The fees payable to individual non executive directors must be determined by the Board within the aggregate sum of $500,000 per annum provided for under clause 21.1 of the constitution. That aggregate sum can only be increased with the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting. A non executive director is entitled to a refund of approved expenditure and may also receive payments for consultancy work contracted for and performed separately on the Company’s behalf.
The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of Board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:
The remuneration structure for executive officers, including executive directors, is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the Company. The contracts for service between the Company, Directors and executives are on a continuing basis the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future.

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued
PERFORMANCE‐BASED REMUNERATION
Performance based remuneration for key management personnel is limited to granting of options.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REMUNERATION POLICY AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives. The issue of options in past years to the majority of directors and executives is to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.
PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS LINKED TO REMUNERATION
The Group’s remuneration of key management personnel does not include any performance conditions.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Predictive Discovery Limited and controlled entities (The Group).
1 SUMMARY OF SINGIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Predictive Discovery Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The financial report is a general purpose financial statement that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected financial assets and financial liabilities.
These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.
(A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Predictive Discovery Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Predictive Discovery Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Where controlled entities have entered or left The Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 18 to the financial statements.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) The Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter‐group balances and transactions between entities in The Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES …..
(A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (continued)
Non‐controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The non‐controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.
Subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent entity at cost.
Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the dale that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.
The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non‐ controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre‐existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value

Business Combinations (continued)
through the statement of comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
(B) REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method uses the effective interest rate which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial assets.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(C) BOROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
(D) INCOME TAX
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

(D) INCOME TAX (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set‐off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set‐off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(E)
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES …..
(E) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)
Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by The Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
(F) PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when The Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
The liability for long service leave is recognised in current and non‐current liabilities, depending on the unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(G) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
The functional currency of each of The Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency. All other companies within The Group have Australian dollars as their functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year‐end exchange rate. Non‐monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non‐monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non‐monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from The Group's presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at year‐end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

(G) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES (continued)
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to The Group's foreign currency translation reserve in the consolidated statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(H) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(I) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the equivalent to the date that The Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is classified 'at fair value through profit or loss', in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Amortised cost is calculated as:
-
(a) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
-
(b) less principal repayments;
-
(c) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and
-
(d) less any reduction for impairment.

(I) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Classification and subsequent measurement ……
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non‐derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non‐current assets).
(iii) Held‐to‐maturity investments
Held‐to‐maturity investments are non‐derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is The Group's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Held‐to‐maturity investments are included in non‐current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months are the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets).

(I) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Classification and subsequent measurement ……
If during the period The Group sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held to maturity investments before maturity, the entire held‐to‐maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified as available for sale.
(iv) Available for sale financial assets
Available for sale financial assets are non‐derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
Available for sale financial assets are included in non‐current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current assets).
(v) Financial liabilities
Non‐derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non‐cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.
(J) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset's useful life to The Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

(J) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
Depreciation …..
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| CLASS OFFIXEDASSET | USEFULLIFE |
|---|---|
| Camp under construction | 7 ‐ 20 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised and removed from the consolidated statement of financial position on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. Gains and losses from derecognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Subsequent costs are included in the property, plant and equipment's carrying value or recognised as a separate asset when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will be realised and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss.
(K) EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE
Costs Carried Forward
Costs arising from exploration and evaluation activities are carried forward where the rights to tenure for the area of interest are current and such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities have not, at reporting date, reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest that is abandoned are written off in the period in which the decision to abandon is made.
Contributions received from third parties in exchange for participating interests in exploration and evaluation tenements (e.g. as part of farm out arrangements) are netted off against the costs carried forward in respect of those tenements in which the third party acquires a participating interest.

(L) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
At each reporting date, The Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include considering external sources of information including, dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre‐acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same class of asset.
Non‐financial assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets, assets from employee benefits, investment properties and deferred acquisition costs, are assessed for any indication of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Any indication of impairment requires formal testing of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The asset's value in use is calculated as the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a pre‐tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks associated with the asset. Assets that cannot be tested individually for impairment are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows (the asset's cash generating unit).
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses are allocated first, to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash generating units, and then to other assets of the group on a pro rata basis.
Assets other than goodwill are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods for assets other than goodwill are reversed up to the carrying amounts that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods.

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES …..
(M) TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by The Group during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(N) GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
(O) LEASES
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in The Group, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
(P) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of The Group divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the net loss attributable to members of The Group and the number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which include shares options.
(Q) CONTRIBUTED EQUITY
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(R) SHARE‐BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS
Employees of The Group receive remuneration in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for equity instruments ("equity settled transactions").

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES …..
(R) SHARE‐BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS (continued)
When the goods or services acquired in a share based payment transaction do not qualify for recognition as assets, they are recognised as expenses.
The cost of equity settled transactions and the corresponding increase in equity is measured at the fair value of the goods or services acquired. Where the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is determined indirectly by the fair value of the equity instruments using the Black Scholes option valuation technique.
Equity‐settled transactions that vest after employees complete a specified period of service are recognised as services are received during the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.
(S) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within The Group.
Key estimates – Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions specific to The Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using fair value less cost to sell or value‐in‐use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.
Key judgements – Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. $14,604,406 has been capitalised as at 30 June 2013 (see note 6). While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded and there are no facts of circumstances that suggest the carrying amounts of the exploration and evaluation assets recognised exceed their recoverable amount.
Key Judgements – Share‐based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes method. The related assumptions are detailed in note 22. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity‐settled share‐based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

(S) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)
Key Judgements ‐ Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared using the going concern basis. The Directors have determined that as with similar companies, future capital raisings will be required in order to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining tenements (some subject to an option payment) to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves. The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the company raising additional capital sufficient to meet the company's exploration commitments. Should there be no funding available, exploration of the areas of interest may be put on hold. The recoverability of the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration of each area of interest.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the foreseeable future reflecting this expectation and their effect upon the company. The achievement of the forecast is dependent upon the future capital raising, the outcome of which is uncertain.
Key Judgements ‐ Recoverability of Intercompany Loan
Within Non‐current assets of the parent entity (see note 20) there is a loan due from the 100% subsidiary of $12,013,493 which is considered fully recoverable. The recoverability of this loan is dependent upon the successful development or sale of exploration assets in Burkina Faso.
(T) ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
During the current year the Group adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.
The adoption of these standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions. The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of these standards and interpretations has had on the financial statements of Predictive Discovery Limited.

(U) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS
The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Group follows:
AASB 9 ‐ Financial Instruments
Application Date of the standard 1 January 2013 Application Date for the Group 1 July 2013
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement).
These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes from AASB 139 are described below.
-
(a) Financial assets are classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. This replaces the numerous categories of financial assets in AASB 139, each of which had its own classification criteria.

(b) AASB 9 allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument.
-
(c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases.
AASB 10 ‐ Consolidated Financial Statements
Application Date of the standard 1 January 2013 Application Date for the Group 1 July 2013
AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities.
The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. This is likely to lead to more entities being consolidated into the group.

AASB 11 ‐ Joint Arrangements
Application Date of the standard 1 January 2013 Application Date for the Group 1 July 2013
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and Interpretation 113 Jointly‐ controlled Entities – Non‐monetary Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition AASB 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method. This may result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the group.
AASB 12 ‐ Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
Application Date of the standard 1 January 2013 Application Date for the Group 1 July 2013
AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structures entities.
New disclosures have been introduced about the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non‐controlling interests.
AASB 13 – Fair Value Measurement
Application Date of the standard 1 January 2013 Application Date for the Group 1 July 2013
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance under Australian Accounting Standards for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value under Australian Accounting Standards when fair value is required or permitted by Australian Accounting Standards. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets.
AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined.

AASB 119 ‐ Employee Benefits
Application Date of the standard 1 January 2013 Application Date for the Group 1 July 2013
The main changes to accounting for defined benefit plans are:
-
to eliminate the option to defer the recognition of gains and losses (the ‘corridor method’);
-
requiring remeasurements to be presented in other comprehensive income; and
-
enhancing the disclosure requirements relating to defined benefit plans for Tier 1 entities. The AASB has provided relief from certain disclosure requirements for entities that adopt Tier 2 Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
Interpretation 20 ‐ Stripping the Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
Application Date of the standard 1 January 2013 Application Date for the Group 1 July 2013
This interpretation applies to stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a surface mine.
Production stripping costs are to be capitalised as part of an asset, if an entity can demonstrate that it is probable future economic benefits will be realised, the costs can be reliably measured and the entity can identify the component of an ore body for which access has been improved. This asset is to be called the “stripping activity asset”.
The stripping activity asset shall be depreciated or amortised on a systematic basis, over the expected useful life of the identified component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. The units of production method shall be applied unless another method is more appropriate.
Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011‐12.

AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards
Application Date of the standard 1 July 2013 Application Date for the Group 1 July 2013
This Standard establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two Tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements:
-
(a) Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards
-
(b) Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements
Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1 and substantially reduced disclosures corresponding to those requirements.
The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements:
-
(a) For‐profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability (as defined in this Standard)
-
(b) The Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments
The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements:
-
(a) For‐profit private sector entities that do not have public accountability
-
(b) All not‐for‐profit private sector entities.
Public sector entities other than the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments
The Group does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above accounting standards.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. It is the Board’s view that PD’s exploration and evaluation assets satisfy AASB6 7.2(b)(ii) because PD only commenced exploration activities over the past year and those activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.
Active and significant operations have occurred on all permits until the beginning of the wet season (July) and PD’s budget shows active expenditure on exploration activities in the dry season (November to June). The budget is split by geographical area and not by area of interest as the allocation of resources will depend upon findings. However, it is acknowledged that the budget allows for spending on all areas of interest without exclusion. It is anticipated that all expenditure required by agreement or permit will be met.
In assessing the recoverability of the carrying amounts, reference is made to Note 1 (S) ‐ Key Judgements ‐ Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure and Going Concern. The Directors have determined that as with similar companies, future capital raisings will be required in order to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining tenements (some subject to an option payment) to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves. Should there be no funding available, exploration of the areas of interest may be put on hold. The recoverability of the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration of each area of interest.

The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Exposure to key financial risks is managed in accordance with the Group’s risk management policy with the objective to ensure that the financial risks inherent in exploration activities are identified and then managed or kept as low as reasonably practicable.
The main financial risks that arise in the normal course of business are market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Different methods are used to measure and manage these risk exposures. Liquidity risk is monitored through the ongoing review of available cash and future commitments for exploration expenditure.
‐ 69 ‐
PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
14 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES…..
Exposure to liquidity risk is limited by anticipating liquidity shortages and ensures capital can be raise in advance of shortages. Interest rate risk is managed by limiting the amount interest bearing loans entered into by The Group. It is the Board's policy that no speculative trading in financial instruments be undertaken so as to limit expose to price risk.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Company Secretary, under the authority of the Board. The Board is apprised of these risks from time to time and agrees any policies that may be undertaken to manage any of the risks identified.
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each financial instrument are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The carrying values less the impairment allowance for receivables and payables are assumed to approximate fair values due to their short term nature. Cash and cash equivalents are subject to variable interest rates.
SPECIFIC FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURES AND MANAGEMENT
(A) CREDIT RISK
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non‐performance by counter parties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to The Group.
The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.
The Group has no customers and consequently no significant exposure to bad debts or other credit risks.
With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and receivables, the exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. At balance date cash and deposits were held with National Australia Bank.
(B) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that The Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash reserves to meet the ongoing operational requirements of the business. It is the Group’s policy to maintain sufficient funds in cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, the Group monitors its ongoing exploration cash requirements and raises equity funding as and when appropriate to meet such planned requirements. The Group has no undrawn financing facilities. Trade and other payables, the only financial liability of the Group, are due within 3 months.
The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management's expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management's expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

The financial assets and liabilities noted above are interest free.
(C) MARKET RISK
i. Interest rate risk
The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily arises from cash at bank and deposits subject to market bank rates. At balance date, the Group does not have any borrowings. The Group does not enter into hedges. An increase/ (decrease) in interest rates by 1% during the whole of the respective periods would have led to an increase/(decrease) in both equity and losses of less than $10,000. 1% was thought to be appropriate because it represents four 0.25 basis point rate rises/falls, which is appropriate in the recent economic climate. The majority of cash held in a cash management account earns interest income at a rate of 3% p.a.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Predictive Discovery Limited & controlled entities, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Predictive Discovery Limited & controlled entities, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the date of this auditor’s report.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion:
-
a. the financial report of Predictive Discovery Limited & controlled entities is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
i. giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2013 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
ii. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Inherent Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
Without qualification to the conclusion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter. As a result of the matters described in the section entitled “Key Judgement – Going Concern” in Note 1 (S) to the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2013, the ability to continue the exploration and development of the company`s mining tenements is dependent upon future capital raising. Should there be no funding available, explorations of the areas of interest may be put on hold and the recoverability of exploration assets may be realised below their carrying amounts at balance date.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the remuneration report included in page 7 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2013. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
