Excellent New Gold Exploration Results from Three Cote D’Ivoire Permits

Announcement

Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI) is pleased to announce highly encouraging results obtained by Joint Venture partner, Toro Gold Limited, on three exploration permits in Cote D’Ivoire:

Predictive Discovery Limited is a gold exploration company with strong technical capabilities focused on its advanced gold exploration projects in West Africa.

  • Kokoumbo Permit – strong chip-channel sample results taken across artisanal workings including:

  • 44m at 3.8g/t Au including 2m at 25.7g/t Au, and

  • 26m at 2.9g/t Au.

  • Boundiali Permit

  • 90g/t Au (3oz/t Au) in rock chip sample upstream of a strong stream geochemical anomaly identified by PDI in its initial BLEG survey.

ASX: PDI

Issued Capital: 651M shares

  • Ferkessedougou Permit:

  • 3.2km long new gold in soil geochemical anomaly , peaking at 0.9g/t Au.

Share Price: 0.5 cents

Market Capitalisation: $3.25M

  • Anomalous (plus 50ppb) gold results on 5 lines 800m apart. Encouraging gold results given Toro Gold’s very wide-spaced initial sampling grid (800 x 200m).

Directors

  • Toro will follow up the new soil anomalies at Boundiali before the end of December and plans to start drilling, initially at Kokoumbo, in the March Quarter.

Phillip Jackson Non-Exec Chairman

Paul Roberts Managing Director

Mr Paul Roberts, the Predictive’s Managing Director said: “Toro Gold continues to make excellent progress on our joint venture permits in Cote D’Ivoire. We now know that there are large soil anomalies on Kokoumbo, Boundiali and Ferkessedougou, the last two of which were previously unknown. The excellent new chip-channel sample results on Kokoumbo Hill and the high grade rock chip sample from Boundiali announced today also add to the momentum that Toro is generating in its very active work program.

Phil Henty Non-Executive Director

Tim Markwell Non-Executive Director

While we remain focused in West Africa, we have changed our strategy by seeking to fund exploration either through joint ventures or private funding at the project level. In this way, we can maintain a high level of activity and newsflow from our projects without the necessity for frequent equity capital raisings. With results such as these, our joint venture with Toro Gold is providing strong evidence of the merits of our new approach.”

BACKGROUND

PDI holds four highly prospective exploration permits in Cote D’Ivoire: Kokumbo, Ferkessedougou, Boundiali and Kounahiri, covering a total area of 1,533km[2] (Figure 1). These permits were selected by a country-wide analysis of geophysical and geological data.

==> picture [404 x 411] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Locality map of the four PDI exploration permits in Cote D’Ivoire which are subject to the Toro

Joint Venture.

Predictive is in Joint Venture with Toro Gold Limited ( Toro ), a Guernsey-based company, on four PDI permits in Cote D’Ivoire. Under the terms of the Joint Venture agreement, Toro can earn a 51% interest in Predictive Discovery Cote D’Ivoire SARL (Predictive CI), which holds Predictive’s interest in the permits, by spending US$1 million on exploration and option payments. Once Toro has achieved its 51% interest, PDI may contribute 49% of expenditure from then on or dilute. If PDI decides to dilute, Toro can earn a further 14% in Predictive CI by spending an additional US$2.5 million on exploration of the ground, leaving PDI with a 35% holding.

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

Kokoumbo Exploration Permit

Predictive CI is earning a 90% interest in the Kokumbo exploration permit from an Ivoirian company, Ivoir Negoce. The Kokumbo permit covers an area of historic artisanal and French colonial era mining located in a highly prospective belt of rocks which also includes the Bonikro gold mine, currently in production by Newcrest, and Agbaou gold mine, where Endeavour Mining commenced commercial production in January 2014 (Figure 1).

Chip-Channel Sampling Results (Table 1)

Toro Gold completed 675m of chip-channel sampling in August 2015 across 17 strongly weathered rock (saprolite) exposures. Of these, 16 exposures were in artisanal mine workings and the 17[th] (KOKT001) was a road cut. They were completed at three locations (Figure 2):

  • Kokoumbo Hill, the largest site of historical gold workings (4 sites – see Figure 3),

  • The Sereme Prospect (12 sites)

  • Near the town of Kokoumbo (one site only, number KOKT001)

The chip-channel samples were assayed for gold by ALS in Loughrea in Ireland.

The Kokoumbo sites are in the centre of a large area of gold in soil anomalies and substantial historical and recent artisanal mine workings.

Results of the chip-channel sampling (Table 1) included:

  • Kokoumbo KOCH001: 44m at 3.77g/t Au, including 2m at 25.7g/t Au;

  • Kokoumbo KOCH003: 26m at 2.86g/t Au;

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

  • Kokoumbo KOCH004: 16m at 0.75g/t Au;

  • Sereme SSCH004: 6m at 2.48g/t Au ;

  • Sereme SSCH005: 8m at 1.05g/t Au;

  • Sereme SSCH007: 4m at 1.25g/t Au;

  • Sereme SSCH009: 2m at 3.40g/t Au;

  • Sereme SSCH010: 7m at 1.97g/t Au.

Toro Gold advises that all of the samples were derived from heavily weathered saprolitic material. While the geological interpretation is not clear, the mineralisation may be in shallowly dipping shear zones, and therefore are not necessarily true widths. Further geological analysis, possibly supplemented by drilling, is required before the orientation of the mineralised zones obtained in this chip-channel sampling program is properly understood.

Boundiali Exploration Permit (Predictive CI 100%)

The Boundiali permit is located within a very well mineralised greenstone belt which contains the large operating Tongon and Syama gold mines in Cote D’Ivoire and Mali respectively. The

4

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

southern part of this belt has had little exploration to date and represents a first class opportunity to make new large gold discoveries.

PDI identified several, strong stream sediment geochemical anomalies using the BLEG (bulk leach extractable gold) method on the Boundiali permit in 2014 (ASX release dated 4/8/14). Toro Gold’s subsequent soils sampling identified gold anomalous values in several locations including a 5.6km long anomaly (ASX release dated 20/10/15).

Toro Rock Chip Sampling Program – Boundiali (Table 2)

On 20 October 2015, PDI announced the results of a soil sampling program conducted by Toro Gold, which identified a 5.6 kilometre gold in soil anomaly with a peak value 0.8 g/t Au. In addition to the soil sampling, Toro undertook opportunistic grab sampling on available outcrop areas. The samples were assayed by ALS at Loughrea in Ireland. The previously identified 5.6km long soil anomaly was not sampled, because of a lack of rock outcrop in that area.

Most of the rock chip samples were gathered in areas which turned out subsequently to contain limited anomalous gold values in the nearby soil samples. However , a very strong result of 90 g/t Au was obtained in one sample from the south-east corner of the permit. Interestingly, it comes from a location approximately 700m upslope from the second strongest stream geochemical result reported from PDI’s 2014 BLEG survey – a value of 16ppb Au. It is also located at the southern end of a soil anomalous trend labelled the Nyangboue trend by Toro Gold Figure 4). The rock chip sample was obtained from an outcrop of quartz veining in schist. Only one other sample was taken in the vicinity, some 500m away (Figure 4).

Ferkessedougou Exploration Permit (Predictive CI 100%)

The Ferkessdougou exploration permit was selected by PDI on the basis of a country scale structural analysis using the Company’s Predictore methods.

Toro Gold Soil Sampling Program – Ferkessedougou (Table 3)

Toro Gold has completed a soil sampling survey of the entire permit on an 800 x 200m sample spacing. The results of sampling the northern two thirds of the permit area are reported here. Soil samples were sieved to 80 mesh at a nearby field office and assayed for gold by ALS at Loughrea in Ireland.

Anomalous (plus 20ppb Au) values were obtained at various locations, the strongest feature being a 3.2km long zone up to 1 km wide. Five lines include values exceeding 50ppb Au with the highest value sample being 895ppb Au. Given the very wide sample spacing, these are highly encouraging results which require follow-up infill sampling.

PDI and Toro Gold geologists visited active alluvial and possible hard-rock gold workings several kilometres to the south of the new anomaly in October 2015 (Figures 6 and 7). The artisanal miners were recovering significant amounts of gold from panning alluvial material recovered from depths of a few metres.

Follow-up Work Programs and Newsflow

Toro Gold is continuing its very active field programs on the Predictive CI exploration permits. Infill soil sampling programs on a 200 x 50m sample density on the main “Nyangboue” anomalous trend in the eastern part of the Boundiali permit and 400*100m density on the other Boundiali anomalous areas, and probably the Ferkessedougou anomaly as well, are now planned. RAB and diamond drilling is expected to start on the Kokoumbo exploration permit in the March Quarter. Subject to obtaining ongoing good values at Boundiali, RAB drilling is also expected there following the Kokoumbo program.

mineralisation observed at Kokoumbo is considered to be of the orogenic
gold type.
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 this exclusion does
not detract from the
understanding of the
report, the Competent
Person should clearly
explain why this is the
case.
The chip-channel results are reported using the standard format for drill
results with the “dip” being listed as zero (given that the channels are
approximately horizontal). Therefore, see Table 1 and the accompanying
notes in these tables.
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
Sampling was either in 1m or 2m long chip-channel intervals.
Mineralised intervals are reported on a weighted average basis.

12

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

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.
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 notknown’).
True widths have not been estimated as there is considerable uncertainty
about the orientation of mineralised zones.
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.
Appropriate plans and sections are included with this document
(Figures 2 and 3).
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.
Comprehensive reporting of the chip-channel results is provided in Table
1.
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.
There is no other known exploration data which is relevant to the results
reported in this release.
Further Work The nature and scale of
planned further work (eg tests
for lateral extensions or large
scale step out drilling.

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
this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person
should clearly explain why this is
the case.
This is not relevant to a rock sampling program. Sample
coordinate information is provided in Table 1 and on the map
included in this release.
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
clearlystated.
This is not relevant to a rock sampling program.
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’).
This is not relevant to a rock sampling program.
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 showing the locations of the rock chip
samples, classified by results, is shown in this release.

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 rock chip sample results have been reported.
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.
All relevant, new exploration data is reported in this release.

Notes: Soil sampling is a reconnaissance exploration technique. In the sampling and sample preparation method used by Toro,
soil samples were collected from shallow holes and dried, sieved to -80 mesh and subsampled at a local field camp. The
prepared samples were then sent to the ALS laboratory in Loughrea in Ireland for fire assay analysis. RL ranges for the
Ferkessedougou permit are 271 to 316m. Individual RLs are not reported in this announcement because they are not relevant
to interpreting geochemical data of this type.

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 of
detailed information.
