  • High grade gold mineralisation at northern contact with gabbro in BNGRD005 - as in previous holes

  • Potential for increased strike length at depth supported by a gold mineralised granite intercept in hole BNGRD006 (3m at 1.35g/t Au)

Mr Paul Roberts, the Company’s Managing Director said: “The excellent BNGRD005 result confirms the remarkable consistency of the central Bongou gold mineralised body in terms of grade, width and high grade gold values on the northern gabbro contact.

The BNGRD006 result is also very significant. We can now see that gold-bearing mineralised granite is present at depth below earlier drill holes in which no gold mineralisation was intersected. Our geological interpretation is that the mineralised granite body has been faulted downwards east of the Bongou artisanal workings. This suggests that thick mineralised granite may extend eastwards at depth, which would increase the tonnage potential at Bongou substantially.

We are now planning our next drill program with a focus on discovering extensions to the known gold deposit at depth and along strike.”

INTRODUCTION

The Bongou gold prospect is located in Eastern Burkina Faso (Figure 3). It underlies artisanal workings which form an irregular open pit approximately 150m long and 50m wide.

Exploration at Bongou prior to November 2013 by PDI included rock chip sampling, trenching, ground geophysical surveys and completion of 14 RC holes, which obtained a number of very encouraging drill intersections[1] including:

  • BNGRC010: 48m (39.6m true width) at 4.3g/t Au from 34m, including 16m (13.2m true width) at 9.7g/t Au

  • BNGRC014 : 37m (35.5m true width) at 5.0g/t Au from 111m, including 16m ( 15.4m true width ) at 8.9g/t Au

  • BNGRC001 : 20m (7.6m true width) at 4.8g/t Au from 70m

  • BNGRC004 : 50m (42m true width) at 1.9g/t Au from 47m, including 8m (6.7m true width) at 9.2g/t Au.

Results from the first five holes of November 2013 RC/diamond drilling campaign released on 2[nd] December 2013[1] also obtained excellent results:

  • BNGRD003: 55.0m (46.8m true width) at 3.2 g/t Au from 215m, including 24.5m at 4.9 g/t Au

  • BNGRD002: 3.3m (approx. 1.6m true width) at 1.44g/t Au

Locations of the all the drill holes completed to date are provided on Figure 4.

Gold mineralisation at Bongou is contained within an intensely silicified and quartz veined, pyritebearing granite intrusion.

DRILLING PROGRAM

PDI carried out an eight hole drilling program, totalling 1,720m, at the Bongou Prospect in Burkina Faso (Figure 3) during November 2013. The program was conducted using a multi-purpose rig (with combined reverse circulation and diamond coring capacity). Assay results from the last three holes are reported here.

The drilling program consisted mainly of reverse circulation ( RC ) pre-collars and diamond cored “tails”. Only one hole, BNGRC015, was drilled entirely with RC. The aims of the program were to identify extensions to the Bongou mineralisation and obtain several infill intercepts to improve understanding of the mineralisation’s continuity and grade variability. Samples were analysed at the SGS laboratory in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. Details of the drilling, sampling and quality control methods used are provided in the notes which follow Table 1.

Drill Results

The three holes reported in Table 1 of this release obtained the following results:

  • BNGRD005: 68.0m (52.4m true width) at 3.2 g/t Au from 99m, including:

  • 7.8m (6.0m true width) at 10.2 g/t Au

  • 4.0m (3.1m true width) at 6.9g/t Au

  • BNGRD006: 3.0m (2.8m true width) at 1.4g/t Au from 172m

  • BNGRD007: No significant result.

Figure 4: Drill hole locality plan, Bongou Prospect. Gold intercepts are all shown as estimated true widths. “Total” intercepts were calculated across the width of gold mineralised altered granite, irrespective of the width of internal waste zones at a cut-off grade of 0.5g/t Au. Data for this diagram are provided in Table 1 and PDI’s ASX release dated 2[nd] December, 2013 (“Thick, high-grade gold intercepts at Bongou Prospect”).

Interpretation of the recent drill results along with detailed new geological mapping of the artisanal workings has indicated that:

  • The bulk of the known mineralisation exists within a single, steeply north-dipping, strongly silicified granite body containing quartz-carbonate veining, minor disseminated pyrite (iron sulphide) and lesser sericite and magnetite. High gold grades appear to be associated with coarse crystalline pyrite.

  • Higher gold grades are consistently located against the northern “hanging wall” boundary of the altered granite with sheared gabbro (Figure 1).

  • The western and eastern limits of the main mineralised body are affected by steep dipping faults

==> picture [596 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

which are not yet fully understood (Figure 2), however:

  • At least two faults on the western side of the mineralisation cut off part of the high-grade hanging wall position, leaving a lower grade remnant in outcrop and some of the western holes. One of those faults is shown on Figure 2. The displaced high-grade mineralisation may be located at depth to the west and will be a target for future drilling.

  • An inferred fault at the eastern end of the mineralised granite displaces the mineralised granite to the north and apparently downwards (Figures 2 and 4). The BNGRD004R intercept (Figure 4) lies on the eastern side of that inferred fault. Also, the BNGRD002 and BNGRC001 mineralised intercepts appear to terminate against the same structure (Figures 2 and 4). The presence of a series of mineralised and altered granite veins in drill hole BNGRD006 with a maximum individual true width of 4m located 40m east of the BNGRD004R intercept suggests that the same mineralised granite body plunges shallowly to the east (Figure 4). The earlier RC holes, BNGRC005 and BNGRC006 above BNGRD006 did not intersect granite which implies that the granite is likely to thicken below BNGRD006.

FOLLOW-UP PROGRAM

PDI is now planning the next phases of work at Bongou, as follows:

  • RC and diamond drilling to test for extensions of the known Bongou mineralisation - which remains open at depth and along strike.

  • Trenching followed by RC and/or RAB and/or air core drilling of the known gold geochemical anomalies west and north-west of Bongou aimed at discovering additional Bongou-style mineralisation within a few hundreds of metres of the drilled prospect.

  • Geochemical drilling of targets along the strike of the Bongou Structure, aimed initially at 10km of the 43km of strike length within PDI’s exploration permits.

  • Metallurgical test work to determine the bond work index of the ore and to identify potential low cost and efficient metallurgical treatment routes. Results for previous metallurgical test work at Bongou were released to the ASX on 14 May 2013. These preliminary results demonstrated a high recovery at Bongou of 94% from cyanidation of a composite sample of primary gold mineralisation using a 75 micron grind size.

BONGOU BACKGROUND

The Bongou Prospect is located in Burkina Faso, West Africa where PDI has established a wellqualified Burkina-based exploration team and a large regional tenement package mainly in the north east of the country, covering 1,605km[2] (Figure 3).

PDI’s tenement holding in Burkina Faso includes approximately 100 km of strike length in the Samira Hill greenstone belt in eastern Burkina Faso (the Bonsiega permit group, Figure 3). This belt hosts the 2.5 million ounce Samira Hill gold deposit across the border in Niger and contains

==> picture [596 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

numerous active artisanal gold mine sites along its length. PDI now owns 100% or rights to earn 95% to 100% of all its permits in Burkina Faso.

In the immediate area around Bongou, PDI owns 100% of the Madyabari, Bassieri and Tamfoagou permits which cover both Bongou and any possible extensions along the Bongou structure over a strike length of 43km within PDI’s ground (Figure 5).

The Bongou prospect is located within the Madyabari exploration permit which covers an area of 172 km[2] and was granted in July, 2005. This permit was initially acquired, along with three other nearby permits (Sirba, Fouli and Tantiabongou), by Birrimian Pty Ltd ( Birrimian ), which is a British Virgin Islands-registered company now 100% owned by PDI. The original owners of Birrimian subsequently entered into an agreement with ElDore Mining Corporation Limited ( ElDore ) through which ElDore could acquire the Birrimian permits through a series of payments and a commitment to issue US$2 million worth of ElDore stock on completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study on one or more ore deposits within the Birrimian permits.

PDI initially acquired an interest in the four Birrimian permits via a joint venture with ElDore which commenced in January 2010. In 2012, ElDore changed its name to Stratos Resources Limited (ASX: SAT) after which PDI bought out SAT’s residual interest (in late 2012). In acquiring Birrimian, PDI also inherited the one remaining commitment in the original ElDore agreement with the original Birrimian shareholders. This commitment is now agreed to mean that PDI will issue US$2 million worth of PDI shares to the original Birrimian shareholders after PDI accepts (at its sole discretion) an offer of finance for development of a mine on the Birrimian permits following completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study.

Sampling Technique All of the sampling described in this report refers to either reverse circulation
(RC) drill samples or diamond drill core samples. The RC drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 2 kg was pulverised to produce a 50 g charge
for fire assay.
The RC samples were reduced to a 2kg sample by riffle splitting on site. The
diamond core samples were cut in half longitudinally using a diamond saw.
Measures were taken to avoid wet RC drilling and the drilling method was
changed from RC to diamond coring at or before the point when the air
pressure from the RC rig was incapable of keeping the samples dry.
The drill samples are judged to be representative of the rock being drilled
because representative sub-sampling of both the RC and diamond core
samples was achieved.
Sampling Technique Nature and quality of sampling (eg
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry

gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples

In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to

kg was pulverised to produce a 30
g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is

Drilling Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open- hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
RC drilling was carried out using a 4.5 inch or 5.5 inch face sampling hammer.
The RC precollars varied from 103 to 160m long and the diamond drill tails were
up to 115m long. The diamond core size was NQ apart from up to 3m of HQ core
which was drilled immediately after the changeover from RC to diamond coring.
The diamond core was oriented using a Reflex Act II RD core orientation device.
Drill Sample Recovery Method of recording and
assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
Sample recovery was estimated for all samples. RC recoveries were estimated
by measuring the volume of material in each bag relative to the known volume of
the drill hole. Core samples were measured from core block to core block once
core had been placed in the core trays.
Sample recovery was maximised in the RC drilling by use of a face sampling
hammer and by converting to diamond coring when it was no longer possible to
drill dry samples.
A petrological study of the mineralisation and the absence of any high-grade gold
value above 32.9g/t Au throughout the whole database both point to the gold
grainsize typically being below 50 microns which would also mitigate against
sampling not being representative.
Logging Whether core and chip samples
have been geologically and
geotechnical logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Whether logging is
qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or
costean/Trench, channel,
etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.
Detailed geological logging has or is in the process of being carried out on all drill
samples, recording lithology, weathering, structure, (including orientation where
the core is oriented), veining and/or mineralisation, grainsize and colour. Logging
of sulphide mineralization and veining is quantitative. RQDs are recorded
routinely. Photography of the cut core is not yet complete but will be carried out
in the next month. No judgement has yet been made by independent qualified
consultants on whether the geological and geotechnical logging has been
sufficient to support Mineral Resource estimation, mining and metallurgical
studies.

Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
materialbeing sampled.
Core samples were cut in half longitudinally with a diamond core saw with one half
submitted for assay and the remaining half retained in core trays which are stored
at PDI's field camp in Gayeri. Core sampling intervals were defined by variations in
lithology and mineralogy but are typically 0.5-1.0m. An on-site riffle splitter was
employed to produce a 2kg assay sample for submission to SGS. Either one or
two reference riffle-split 2kg samples are retained from the RC samples for future
re-assay or metallurgical testwork. The sampling (and analytical) methods were
appropriate for the style of mineralisation, especially as no visible gold has been
observed and previous petrological studies indicate that the typical gold grain size
is less than 50 microns.

considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters

factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
Nature of quality control
procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and
whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
All samples were assayed for gold by 50g fire assay at the SGS laboratory in
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The technique is considered a total analysis.
No geophysical tools, spectrometers or handheld XRF instruments have yet
been employed although XRF scanning of some of the core using a hand held
XRF instrument is planned.
Unlabelled standards were submitted with all assay batches, generally at the rate
of one standard every 15thsample, whether from RC or diamond drilling. Blanks
were also submitted with RC sample batches. Where any problems with bias or
accuracy, especially outside of a +/- 10% envelope is observed, samples are re-
assayed. External laboratory checks are planned but have not yet been carried
out.
Verification of
Sampling and
Assaying
The verification of significant
intersections by either
independent or alternative
company personnel.
The use of twinned holes The
verification of significant
intersections by either
independent or alternative
company personnel. Discuss any
adjustment to assay data
No holes have yet been twinned. Field data collection is undertaken by the
company’s Burkina Faso-based geologists. All results are checked by Mr Paul
Roberts, the company’s Managing Director.
Location of Data

Specification of the grid system
used Quality and adequacy of
topographic control
Collar positions were located using a hand held GPS with a location error of +/-
3m. Collar RLs were established by interpolation between surveyed points
established for an earlier geophysical survey with an estimated elevation error of
less than 2m.
Collar coordinates listed in the table are for Universal Transverse Mercator
(UTM), Datum WGS 84, Zone 31 - Northern Hemisphere.
Data Spacing and
Distribution
Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results
Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for
the Mineral Resource and Ore
Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has
beenapplied
The drill intercepts are irregularly spaced but approximately 40 x 40m. No
judgement has yet been made by an independent qualified consultant on
whether the drill density is sufficient to calculate a Mineral Resource.
Sample compositing was applied only to samples thought to be un-
mineralised. Sample composites were mostly either 4m or 8m.
Orientation of Data
in Relation to
Geological
Structure
Whether the orientation of
sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures
and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit
type.
If the relationship between the
drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported
if material.
All drill holes reported here were drilled approximately at right angles to the strike
of the target mineralization. The mineralisation appears to be a disseminated
type with no evidence yet identified for ore distribution being in any orientation
other than parallel to strike of the mineralised body.
Sample Security The measures taken to ensure
sample security
The large RC sample bags are stored at a sample farm on PDI’s
exploration permits. These are guarded at all times by local individuals
hired for this purpose. 2kg reference samples are stored at the company’s
field campinthe townofGayeri,which is guarded24 hours perday. Pulp

samples are retained at company premises in Ouagadougou which are also
guarded 24 hours per day.

The security of the tenure held at

obtaining a licence to operate in
the area.
The Bongou Prospect lies entirely within the Madyabari Permit (Arrêté
N°2011 /11/352/MCE/SG/DGMGC) which covers an area of 172 sq km.
There are no overriding reserves or national parks over this permit. In a
future mining operation, the Government of Burkina Faso is entitled to a 10%
share of any mine along with a 3-5% ad valorem royalty, the percentage of
which is determined by the gold price prevailing at the time. The company
believes that (a) the permit is securely held as it has complied with all the
necessary government requirements and (b) the permit can be replaced in
due course by a mining licence as long as a feasibility study shows that a
future mine would be viable and that company completes meets the
Government’s legal requirements, which it fully intends to do.
The Madyabari permit was initially acquired, along with three other nearby
permits (Sirba, Fouli and Tantiabongou), by Birrimian Pty Ltd (Birrimian),
which is a British Virgin Islands-registered company now 100% owned by
PDI. The original owners of Birrimian subsequently entered into an
agreement with Eldore Mining Corporation Limited (Eldore) through which
Eldore could acquire the Birrimian permits through a series of payments and
a commitment to issue US$2 million worth of Eldore stock on completion of a
Bankable Feasibility Study on one or more ore deposits within the Birrimian
permits.
PDI initially acquired an interest in Madyabari along with the three other
Birrimian permits via a joint venture with Eldore which commenced in
January 2010. In 2012, Eldore changed its name to Stratos Resources
Limited (ASX: SAT) after which PDI bought out SAT’s residual interest (in
late 2012). In acquiring Birrimian, PDI also inherited the one unfulfilled
commitment in the original Eldore agreement with the original Birrimian
shareholders. This commitment has now been agreed to mean that PDI will
issue US$2 million worth of PDI shares after PDI accepts an offer of finance
for development of a mine on the Birrimian permits at its sole discretion)

Exploration Done by
Other Parties
Acknowledgment and
appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
Past exploration over the Bongou prospect consisted of wide spaced soil
sampling and an aeromagnetic survey. Previous explorers did not recognise
the significance of the Bongou mineralisation, which appears to have been
discovered by artisanal miners.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
Mineralisation consists of an intensely silicified and quartz veined granite
body which lies sandwiched between a sheared gabbro on the
mineralisation’s northern margin and a basalt body (partly sheared) on its
southern margin. The gabbro and basalt contacts are approximately
parallel to one another. Pyrite is disseminated throughout the mineralisation
with higher gold grades apparently associated with coarse grained pyrite.
The quartz veins contain some carbonate and the mineralisation contains
minor magnetite and some sericite in fractures.
Mineralisation appears to be terminated at surface at both ends by steep
dipping faults which may to down throw the mineralisation so that the strike
length at depth may be significantly longer than the strike length in the near
surface.
The mineralised body lies within a large structure which is approximately
43km long within three contiguous permits owned 100% by the company
(Madyabari, Bassieri and Tamfoagou). The mineralisation is interpreted as
a variant of the orogenic gold mineralisation style, which is known
throughout theBirimian Belt of WestAfrica.
Drill Hole Information A summary of all information
material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a
tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill
holes:

easting and northing of the
drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced
Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill
hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and
Intercepts that form the basis of this announcement are tabulated in Table 1
within the body of the announcement and incorporate Hole Number, Easting,
Northing, Dip, Azimuth, Depth and Assay data for mineralised intervals. An
appropriate locality map also accompanies this announcement.

interception depth

hole length

If the exclusion of this
information is justified on the
basis that the information is
not Material and
this exclusion does not
detract from the
understanding of the report,
the Competent Person
should clearly explain why
this is the case.
Data Aggregation
Methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
Over 95% of the gold mineralised material (with grades exceeding 0.5g/t Au)
was sampled in one meter intervals. No top cuts have been applied to exploration
results as the maximum value in the entire assay database is 32.9g/t Au and only
4 samples contain more than 20g/t Au.
For the 0.5g/t Au cut-off calculations, up to 4m (down-hole) of internal waste is
included. For the 3g/t Au cut-off calculations, up to 2m (down-hole) of internal
waste is included. For the “total intercept” average grade recorded for hole
BNGRD005 in the Comments column, the average grade is calculated with a cut-
off grade of 0.5 g/t Au and up to 5.5m of internal waste (down-hole).
Mineralised intervals are reported on a weighted average basis.
Relationship Between
Mineralisation Widths
and Intercept Lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported. If it is
not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
True widths have been estimated for all intercepts based on the assumption
that the gold mineralisation is oriented parallel to the hanging wall and foot
wall contacts.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but
not be limited to a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
An appropriate plan and cross section has been included in the text of
this document.
Balanced Reporting Where comprehensive reporting
of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative
reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
All intercepts containing average gold grades exceeding 2g-m (e.g. 1 g/t
Au over a down-hole width of 2m) are reported. All of the holes for which
assays were available for this ASX release contained at least some
intervals which exceeded this limit. The gabbro and basalt intersected by
the reported holes commonly contain less than 0.01g/t Au.
Other Substantive
Exploration Data
Other exploration data, if
meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited
to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test
results;
bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating
substances.
Preliminary metallurgical test work has been completed on one composite
sample of RC chips and reported previously (ASX release entitled “Excellent
Gold Recoveries from Metallurgical Test Work” on 14thMay 2013); a gold
recovery of 94% was recovered by CIL testwork using a standard 75 micron
grind. Additional metallurgical testwork is planned in 2014.

Further Work The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or large scale step out
drilling.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is
not commerciallysensitive.
Further drilling is planned to test for down-dip and along strike extensions.
The next phase of drilling will consist mainly of step-out holes at a spacing of
40-80m x 40-80m. The detailed drill program has not yet been designed.

Predictive Discovery Limited (PDI) was established in late 2007. The Company is focused on exploration for gold in West Africa. PDI has a distinctive technological capability, known as Predictore ® , which is designed to increase drill targeting efficiency thereby reducing ore discovery cost. The Company’s major focus is in Burkina Faso, West Africa where it has assembled a substantial regional ground position totalling 1,605km[2] and is exploring for large open-pittable gold deposits. Exploration in eastern Burkina Faso has yielded a large portfolio of exciting gold prospects, including the Bongou trend where a series of high-grade gold drill intercepts have been obtained recently. PDI also has interests in a strategic portfolio of tenements and tenement applications in Cote D’Ivoire.
