BONGOU DRILLING AND TRENCHING

Predictive Discovery Limited (PDI) carried out a combined reverse circulation and diamond drilling program, totalling 2,600m, on the Bongou Prospect in Burkina Faso (Figure 3) between 10[th] February and 11[th] March 2014.

The aim of the drilling was to extend the Bongou mineralisation at depth and to define the nature of its boundaries. A further objective was to explore for similar granite-hosted gold mineralisation nearby. Samples were analysed at the SGS laboratory in Ouagadougou. Locations of the drill holes reported here are shown in Figure 4.

Details of the drilling, sampling and quality control methods used are provided in the notes which follow Table 1.

Drill Results

Highlighted results from the four holes reported in Table 1 are as follows:

  • BNGRD012: 36.2m (33m true width) at 2.2g/t Au from 181.8m, including:

  • 4.6m at 7.1g/t Au

  • 5.2m at 4.7g/t Au

  • BNGRD008R: 21.5m (19.5m true width) at 1.8 g/t Au from 313m, including:

  • 4.8m at 3.8 g/t Au

  • BNGRD009T: 12.7m (9m true width) at 0.3g/t Au from 327.3m

  • BNGRD0010: No significant result.

These complement results from earlier drilling which are summarised below:

  • 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

  • BNGRD005: 68m (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 and 4.0m (3.1m true width) at 6.9g/t Au

  • BNGRD003: 55m (46.8m true width) at 3.2 g/t Au from 215m, including 24.5m at 4.9 g/t Au

  • BNGRD001: 48.7m (40.9m true width) at 2.8g/t Au from 144.3m including 5.9m (5.0m true width) at 7.8g/t Au and 7.9m (6.6m true width) at 4.5g/t Au

  • BNGRC015: 64m (57.6m true width) at 2.0g/t Au from 14m including 5m (4.5m true width) at 7.3g/t Au

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

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

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

This program has given PDI a better understanding of the geology of the Bongou mineralisation:

  • Gold mineralisation at Bongou is contained within intensely (silica-albite) altered, pyriteand magnetite-bearing granite. The gold mineralisation is now interpreted to be contained in a simple, steeply plunging body constrained by major shearing in gabbro in the hanging wall and more massive basalt in the footwall. This is shown in cross section in Figure 2. The mineralisation remains open at depth (see long section, Figure 1).

  • The eastern edge of the mineralisation now appears to be more gradational than was previously interpreted. While there is some evidence of fault movement at the eastern end, drill hole BNGRD012 shows that the mineralised granite “inter-fingers” with sheared gabbro in this area with the ratio of barren gabbro to gold mineralised granite increasing towards the east.

Channel Sampling of Trenches

New results from channel sampling in nearby trenches have revealed altered granite 500m NW of Bongou. This was reported in the December 2013 Quarterly Report and included a 12.5m long section averaging 0.5g/t Au (Figure 5). Samples were taken over variable intervals, with a peak value of 15g/t Au in a thin quartz vein. This is a new discovery of further Bongou-style mineralisation nearby.

Importantly, based on our Bongou experience, the average grade of the altered granite may be significantly higher at shallow depths below the trench. At Bongou, channel sampling in the artisanal workings, averages 1g/t Au while much higher grades are encountered at shallow depths below.

FOLLOW-UP PROGRAM

The very encouraging exploration results returned to date have helped to guide a broader exploration strategy:

  • Further trenching of the gold geochemical anomalies west and north-west of Bongou (Figure 5) aimed at discovering additional Bongou-style mineralisation nearby.

  • Geochemical drilling of targets elsewhere along the Bongou structure, aimed initially at 10km of the 43km of strike length interpreted to be within PDI’s exploration permits (Figure 6).

Sampling Technique Nature and quality of sampling (eg
cut channels, random chips, or

standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling Include
reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems
used. Aspects of the determination

the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3
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
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure ofdetailed
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.

information.
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.
RC precollars varied from 20 to 200m long and the diamond drill tails were up to
221.5m 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 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.

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,

The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.
Detailed geological logging has been 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 during the
field season. 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.

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.

Quality of Assay Data
and Laboratory Tests
The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used

considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters
used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations
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

Accuracy and quality of surveys
used tolocate drill holes (collar and
down- hole surveys), trenches,
mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
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 camp in the town of Gayeri, which is guarded 24 hours per day. Pulp
samples are retained at company premises in Ouagadougou which are also

guarded 24 hours per day.

Status
Type, reference name/number,
location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with
third partiessuch asjoint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at
the time of reporting along with
any known impediments to
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)
following completionofaBankableFeasibility Study.
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 altered (silica-albite) 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.
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
interception depth

hole length

If the exclusion of this
information is justified on the
basis that the information is
not Material 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.

11

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

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 intervals of one meter or less. 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 3m (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
BNGRD012 in the Comments column, the average grade is calculated with a cut-
off grade of 0.5 g/t Au and up to 12.7m 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
reportingof 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. Values for the lower
grade intercept in hole BNGRD010 are also recorded. Holes in which no
significant result has been obtained are also routinely reported by PDI.
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.

Further drilling is planned to test for more Bongou-style mineralised bodies.
The first phase of that drilling will be carried out with a power auger rig.

Predictive Discovery Limited (PDI) was established in late 2007 and listed on the ASX in December 2010. The Company is focused on exploration for gold in West Africa. 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 in Cote D’Ivoire covering a total area of 1534 km[2] .
