PREDICTIVE BOARD CHANGES
Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI, Predictive or the Company) is pleased to announce the following changes to its Board as the Company enters the next critical growth phase, with parallel aims of developing the Bankan Project while continuing to explore its large exploration licence holdings around Guinea.
Mr Simon Jackson has been appointed to the Board of Predictive as Non-Executive Chairman following the resignation of Mr Francis Harper.
Mr Jackson is a Chartered Accountant with over 25 years’ experience in management of resource companies, particularly in Africa.
Mr Jackson was a senior member of the management team of TSX listed Red Back Mining Inc., a company that financed, developed and operated two gold mines in West Africa culminating in a takeover by Kinross Gold Corp in 2010 that valued Red Back at CAD$9.3 billion. He was then founding President & CEO and later Chairman of TSXV listed Orca Gold Inc, a company which discovered and is advancing the Block 14 gold project in Sudan. Mr Jackson is currently Nonexecutive Chairman of TSXV listed Sarama Resources Limited and has been a director of multiple ASX and TSX listed companies including Cardinal Resources Limited.
Predictive’s Chairman, Mr Jackson said, “It is a privilege to join Predictive Discovery. The Bankan Project is a large, exciting and growing discovery. Gold opportunities of this nature and scale are rare and I look forward to being a part of the team that can progress this exceptional project for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
Mr Harper has decided to step down from the Board of Predictive in view of increasing activities on Tietto Minerals Limited’s mine development in Cote D’Ivoire. The Board would like to thank Francis for his service to Predictive; he has provided much valuable counsel and support over the past very eventful 7 months, for which the Predictive team is very grateful.
Following the announcement of a Maiden Resource Estimate of 3.65 million ounces of gold at the Bankan Project[1] , the Company is now progressing on a dual-track strategy of rapidly expanding and developing the Bankan Project, while continuing to progress its regional and other exploration activities in Guinea.
To achieve this strategy, the Board is pleased to announce that Andrew Pardey, current NonExecutive Director, will be moving into the Chief Executive Officer role with the Company before the end of this year. The terms of Andrew’s executive appointment are yet to be finalised.

Mr Pardey is a geologist with more than 30 years’ experience covering exploration, project development, construction and operation.
Mr Pardey served as the CEO of US$1.5 billion LSE/TSX-listed Centamin plc which owns the Sukari Gold Mine in Egypt. He was a major driving force in bringing Sukari into production, having joined during the transition of the operation from construction into production. Mr Pardey also held senior management roles at the Anglogold-Ashanti Siguiri Mine and Nordgold Lefa Mine both of which are located within Guinea’s Siguiri Basin which also hosts Predictive’s Bankan Project.
Mr Pardey is currently Chairman of ASX listed Tanga Resources and Non-Executive Director of ASX listed Marvel Gold.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Pardey said, “It is a pleasure to move into this role and be part of the team that will lead this project forward. Paul has been the driving force behind getting the project to where it is today in such a short period of time and I look forward to continue working with Paul and further develop the team to continue to grow and take this project forward for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
Predictive’s long-serving Managing Director, Paul Roberts will transition to the role of Technical Director, to continue his outstanding success at discovery, with responsibility for driving the Company’s exploration projects, including its exciting regional Bankan Project area and identifying new greenfield opportunities
