Dear Shareholder,

ABN 11 127 171 877 Level 2, 33 Ord Street WEST PERTH WA 6005 PO Box 1710 West Perth WA 6872 p (08) 9216 1000 f (08) 9388 8256 w www.predictivediscovery.com

Non-renounceable pro rata rights issue

On 1 October 2014, Predictive Discovery Limited ( Company ) announced a fully underwritten three (3) for five (5) non-renounceable pro rata rights issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.007 per New Share ( Offer Price ) to raise up to $1.71 million (before costs) ( Rights Issue ). The Company has today lodged a prospectus with ASIC and ASX setting out further details of the Rights Issue.

1 Purpose of the Rights Issue

Funds raised from the Rights Issue will be used primarily to fund exploration, including drilling, at its high grade Bongou Gold deposit in Burkina Faso and the surrounding area, and for working capital purposes.

2 Details of the Rights Issue

The Rights Issue will be available to eligible shareholders on the Company’s share register as at 7.00pm AEDT on Monday, 20 October 2014 ( Record Date ). The Rights Issue is scheduled to close at 5.00pm (AEDT), Thursday, 6 November 2014.

Following completion of the Rights Issue, the Company will have issued 243,969,129 New Shares, resulting in a total of 650,584,343 Company shares on issue (plus the options to subscribe for unissued shares). This number excludes any allowance for shares issued in the event that any option holders exercise their right to convert their securities to ordinary shares prior to the Record Date. This number is subject to reconciliation of entitlements and rounding. All entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

The New Shares will rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company from the date of allotment. The Company has applied for quotation of all of the New Shares on ASX.

The Rights Issue is non-renounceable, which means that entitlements to take up New Shares ( Entitlements ) are non-transferable and will not be tradeable on ASX. Eligible shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will not receive any value in respect of those Entitlements that they do not take up, and their equity interest in the Company will be diluted. Shareholders who are not eligible to receive Entitlements will not receive any value in respect of Entitlements they would have received, had they been eligible.

3 Underwriting

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Company’s largest shareholder, Aurora Minerals Limited ( Aurora ). Aurora will be paid a fee of $100,000 for underwriting the Rights Issue.

11928305/2

4 Shortfall facility

Eligible shareholders may apply for some or all of their Entitlement under the Rights Issue, and may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement. Applications for additional New Shares will be satisfied out of any New Shares for which applications have not been received from eligible shareholders before the closing date of the Rights Issue ( Shortfall ). The Company may issue additional New Shares of up to $200,000 or such other amount as may be agreed with Aurora.

The following persons will not be entitled to submit applications for additional New Shares:

  • Aurora or sub-underwriters of the Rights Issue;

  • a related party (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) of the Company; and

  • • a related party or associate (as defined in section 12 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act )) of Aurora.

The Directors reserve the right in accordance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules to place any Shortfall at their discretion and in consultation with Aurora. Any additional new shares the subject of the Shortfall will be placed no later than 3 months after the Closing Date and will be issued on the same terms as are offered to eligible shareholders under the Rights Issue.

5 Eligible shareholders

  • are registered as a holder of Company shares as at 7.00pm (AEDT) on the Record Date;
