Bongou Exploration Re-commences
Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI) is pleased to announce that its 2014-15 exploration program is fully underway with the commencement of power auger drilling near the Company’s high grade Bongou gold discovery[1] in Eastern Burkina Faso.
In late 2014, following on from the Bongou gold discovery, PDI conducted a comprehensive review of the Bonsiega project area, drawing together all data available to it, with a view to identifying and ranking targets against strict criteria. This review highlighted east-west structures in the magnetic data which are prominent at Bongou. Nearly 100 structural targets were identified near Bongou of which 12 were prioritised (see Figures 1 and 2).
The current work program will test these 12 priority targets and will also drill test for potential extensions of the Bongou deposit.
A staged exploration program is now underway. Ground magnetic surveys commenced in December. Power auger drilling is in progress now and will be carried out in at least two stages with follow-up drilling based on first pass results. RAB and/or RC drill follow-up of the best prospects is expected to commence in the next 2-3 months.
Commencement of drilling was prompted by the three year special renewals of the key Madyabari and Sirba permits (Figure 3) which was announced to the ASX on 30[th] December 2014.
Mr Paul Roberts, PDI’s Managing Director said: “We are very excited to get a full exploration program underway again on our Eastern Burkina Faso projects. Our focus now is to discover more, high grade open-pittable gold mineralisation to complement the Bongou gold deposit[1 ] with sufficient resources to build a long-lived profitable gold mining operation.”

Figure 1: Target location map – SW Bonsiega permit group, Eastern Burkina Faso. Planned work programs between January and June 2015 will assess the targets shown as red and magenta dots. Some work may also be carried out later in the field season on some of the yellow dot targets. More detail for Target 92 is shown in Figure 3. ( Note: the drill result at Prospect 71 was reported to the ASX in the March 2012 Quarterly Report. This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported).

Figure 2: Target 92. A high priority target with a significant east-west structure with surficial artisanal gold workings extending over more than 3km associated with it. PDI’s interest in this target was greatly increased by the recent recognition of the association between Bongou-style mineralisation and east-west oriented structures. No drilling of any kind has yet tested this large target.

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 Côte D’Ivoire covering a total area of 1534 km[2] .
