Issued Capital: 234M shares

  • 21m at 1.7g/t Au from 22m

  • 20m at 1.4g/t Au from 99m

Share Price: 6.3 cents

  • Gold mineralisation over at least 1km of strike, open to north and south .

Market Capitalisation: $15M

  • Gold intercepts on adjacent sections and down-dip suggests good continuity of the mineralisation.

Cash (at 31 December 2012): $3.0M

  • No artisanal workings known at Bira.

Directors

 Exploration including drilling planned

 Ground holdings in Burkina Faso increased to 1, 565 km[2] .

Phillip Harman Non-Exec Chairman

Mr Paul Roberts, the Company’s Managing Director commented: “The acquisition of Bira adds a significant new gold prospect to our portfolio with previously defined mineralisation that is open along strike in both directions. It has potential to increase PDI’s future resource inventory and considerably upgrades the potential of the northern Bonsiega tenements.”

Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI) announces that the Government of Burkina Faso has invited the Company to pay fees on a permit application, Bira, in eastern Burkina Faso. In Burkina Faso, this invitation indicates that permit grant is imminent.

The new permit covers an area of 21km[2] in the northern part of the Bonsiega block of tenements (Figure 1), thereby strengthening the Company’s hold on the Samira Hill greenstone belt in Burkina Faso.

Bira Permit

PDI has been interested in this area since 2010 when it commenced exploration in Burkina Faso. 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 (Table 1 and Figure 2). 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.

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 from multiple, closely spaced ore zones in a series of shallow angled holes in two lines in the HL10 series of holes (Figure 2) which were drilled to depths of 15 to 30m.

The consistency of reported intercepts both from section to section and down-dip from hole to hole in the southern part of the drilled area suggests good continuity, which, if confirmed by PDI’s own drilling, will be important for the future resource inventory.

Planned Work Program

Geological mapping and either air core or RC drilling will be carried out on the Bira permit. The work program will commence in the next month.

About Predictive Discovery:

Predictive Discovery Limited (PDI) was established in late 2007 to explore for gold and uranium. The Company is focused principally on exploration for gold in West Africa with one additional gold project in Australia. PDI has a distinctive technological capability, known as Predictore [TM] , 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 1,565km[2] and is exploring for large open-pittable gold ore deposits.
