Solid Initial Diamond Drilling Results from Bobosso, Cote D’Ivoire

Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI) is pleased to announce assay results from the Progress Minerals-funded diamond drilling program at the Bobosso Project in Cote D’Ivoire.

  • Drill intercepts included:

  • 8.7m at 3.3g/t Au from 39.6m including 1.2m at 14.3g/t Au

  • 17m at 1.47g/t Au from 41m including 2m at 6.95g/t Au

  • 28m at 1.00 g/t Au from 0m including 16m at 1.32g/t Au

  • 13.5m at 1.36g/t Au from 77m

  • 9.3m at 1.72g/t Au from 0m

  • 2m at 4.64g/t Au from 54m, including 1m at 7.63g/t Au

  • Good evidence of gold mineralisation continuity along east-west to eastnorth-east trending zones, consistent with PDI’s geological model

  • Multiple gold intercepts in most holes with all but one hole containing reportable gold intercepts.

  • 17 holes drilled, totalling 1,657m

Mr Paul Roberts, Predictive’s Managing Director said: “We now have joint ventures with well-credentialed partners on much of the ground that we hold in Cote D’Ivoire. Exploration by Toro Gold on the first of those joint ventures has already produced excellent results, most notably through high grade and/or broad drill intercepts on the Boundiali permit. These new drill results from the Bobosso Project, funded by Progress Minerals Inc, are giving good early positive indications from yet another project in the Predictive portfolio.

This program was designed to test our concept that the known disseminated gold mineralisation style on the Bobosso prospect is largely controlled by the E- W to ENE structures seen in aeromagnetic maps (Figure 2) and was poorly tested by the historical drilling. A secondary objective was to test higher grade veinstyle targets in the prospect. Four small areas were tested out of the very large known gold mineralised system. Close spaced drilling in these areas has largely confirmed that the main, disseminated gold mineralised style can be traced from hole to hole in a series E-W to ENE striking zones. Testing of one higher grade vein target also obtained encouraging results.

Predictive and Progress are now planning the next field season program, commencing in October, which is expected to consist of a combination of RC drilling and geochemical exploration programs.

INTRODUCTION

The Bobosso Project consists of two granted exploration permits, Bassawa and Wendene in northern Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 1), which are held by an Ivoirian company, XMI SARl ( XMI ). Bassawa and Wendene are located in the southern extension of the well mineralised Hounde Belt in Burkina Faso, which includes Semafo’s Mana Mine (5 Moz in ore resources and reserves[1] ).

Previous exploration by Equigold, Lihir and Newcrest including a series of large drilling programs totalling 569 RC holes and 11 diamond drill holes. This obtained many gold mineralised intercepts beneath a 7km[2] gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly (ASX release dated 28/10/15) indicating the presence of a large gold mineralised system.

Geological mapping and re-logging of historical diamond drill core by Predictive staff has demonstrated that the gold mineralisation is hosted in a sequence of mafic volcanics, with lesser felsic to intermediate volcanics and minor metasediments. Gold mineralisation is found in both broad, moderate grade alteration zones (silica-sericite-carbonate-pyrite) and narrower, higher grade quartz veins.

PDI has earned a 37% equity in the Bobosso project through an agreement which was signed in October 2015 with the owner of XMI, West Africa Venture Investment ( WAVI ). More recently, Predictive and WAVI have entered into a funding agreement with Progress Minerals Inc ( Progress ) by which Progress is funding US$1 million of expenditure to earn a 30% equity in the project (ASX release dated 16/3/17). The new diamond drilling program forms a major part of that commitment.

DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM

A diamond drilling program, totalling 17 holes and 1657m, was completed in May 2017. It was designed to explore four small areas within the large Bobosso gold mineralised system by:

  • testing for mineralisation continuity along east-west to north-east trends identified from geological mapping and geophysical surveys (see Figure 2), and

  • following up several historical, high-grade gold intercepts.

The historical drilling was mostly drilled from west to east on an ESE (105⁰) azimuth. This assumed that the target mineralisation was orientated NNE. A subsequent aeromagnetic survey indicated that the mineralisation distribution was probably controlled by ENE orientated structures (Figure 2). This drill program was designed to test the validity of that concept. The bulk of drill holes in this program were therefore drilled on an azimuth of 160⁰ to test ENE striking zones dipping towards the north.

The diamond drilling was carried out by PPI and the core samples were assayed by ALS in Ghana. Additional details about the program are provided in Table 1.

Four target areas were drill tested (Figure 2):

Target Area 1

Drilling here was designed to follow-up a high-grade quartz vein mineralisation style as well as lower grade disseminated mineralisation.

Figure 3 illustrates the distribution of gold mineralised intercepts from this drill program in relation to historical drill intercepts (reported to the ASX on 28/10/15). It shows several gold mineralised zones, the most important one of which can be traced over at least 150m of strike, is open to both the west and east and dips towards the north. The figure also shows the location of two higher-

grade intercepts in historical holes BDD001 and BRC083 which intersected a higher-grade quartz vein style of mineralisation including 6m at 17.3g/t Au . The distribution of the latter relative to the lower grade disseminated gold mineralisation style is illustrated in Figure 4.

BOBDD004.

Results of holes BDD001 and BRC083 were reported to the ASX on 28/10/15. Note that the apparent widening of the gold mineralised zone in the near-surface is interpreted as supergene lateral re-distribution of the gold.

Target Area 2

Drilling here was designed to follow-up an area containing several high-grade quartz vein intercepts and some known artisanal workings which are also known to contain high-grade vein style mineralisation.

Figure 5 shows that one of the diamond drill holes, BOBDD007, intersected two zones of high-grade quartz vein-hosted gold mineralisation: 2.2m at 8.77g/t Au including 1.2m at 14.25g/t Au and 1.45m at 6.16g/t Au including 0.5m at 11.8g/t Au .

Target Area 3

Drilling here was designed to confirm an apparently east-west striking and north-dipping zone of gold mineralisation. The close spaced drilling confirmed the east-west strike and north dip of a modest grade zone over a strike length of approximately 200m (Figure 7).

Target zone 4

Drilling here was designed to test several mineralised zones with uncertain strike orientations (either E-W or NE).

Figure 7 shows that the principal disseminated gold mineralisation zone here strikes WNW, consistent with foliation trends observed in the core, and is open to the west.

CONCLUSIONS

This drill program has shown that:

  • The predominant, disseminated gold mineralisation style can be traced from hole to hole over distances of more than 100m and, in the areas tested, strikes between NE through E- W to ESE. Foliation and occasional bedding orientations vary through the same range of strike orientations as the disseminated mineralisation, suggesting that mineralisation distribution is controlled by the structures seen in the aeromagnetic map (Figure 2).

  • The mineralisation continuity demonstrated in this program will be helpful in planning future resource drill-outs over the Bobosso mineralised system.

  • Given that the previous drilling is oriented very obliquely to the mineralisation strikes observed in this program, there is significant potential to find more such mineralisation, potentially in multiple parallel zones in the large gaps between the earlier drill lines. Most of the mineralisation drilled in this program is open along strike on both directions.

  • The higher-grade quartz vein style appears to be less persistent along strike and will require more detailed drilling to define resources.

NEXT STEPS

Predictive and Progress are currently reviewing the results of this drill program with a view to planning the next field program commencing after the rainy season in October. While the details of that program have not yet been decided, it is expected to include a significant RC drilling program on the Bobosso prospect along with a regional geochemical exploration program.

BACKGROUND - AGREEMENT WITH PROGRESS MINERALS

Predictive entered a three way agreement between Progress Minerals International Inc (Progress) and a local Ivoirian Company, West Africa Venture Investment ( WAVI ) during the March Quarter, to enable funding of exploration programs on the Bobosso permits. This agreement supersedes an agreement between PDI, WAVI and XMI in October 2016 (ASX release 27/10/15) which was subsequently updated in November 2016. Key terms of this agreement are as follows:

  • Investments in the Bobosso Project will be made through West African Mine Investments Pty Ltd ( WAMIL ), a Western Australian based private company, owned by Predictive Discovery Limited (37%) and WAVI (63%). At present WAMIL owns 50% of XMI with the remaining 50% of XMI to be transferred to WAMIL once permission to do so has been granted by the Cote D’Ivoire Minister of Mines. This is a standard requirement under Ivoirian law and is expected soon.

  • Predictive will provide technical management of work programs during the exploration phase in conjunction with Progress. WAVI will provide local management support in Cote D’Ivoire.

  • Equities in WAMIL will be earned as follows:

Stage 1:

  • Progress will invest US$1 million (approximately A$1.3 million) in exploration on Bobosso in one year or less to earn a 30% equity in WAMIL. These monies will be spent on a work plan agreed between the parties including:

  • 1,500-2,500m of diamond drilling on the Bobosso gold mineralised system.

  • Ground magnetics survey over 20 km[2] on the Bobosso soil geochemical anomaly and surrounding area to help interpret the detailed geological structure of the area prior to diamond drilling.

  • Geological mapping and BLEG gold geochemical surveys over the granted permits. These will be extended over the Dabakala permit application (Figure 1) if it is granted prior to the rainy season.

  • Follow-up RC drilling (also to be partially funded in Stage 2).

  • This program is designed to ensure that Predictive has the key information it requires to make decisions about its participation in the Stage 2 work program (see details below).

8

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

  • Payments totalling US$75,000 in cash were paid to WAVI after signature of the agreement in February 2017.

  • Equities at the end of Stage 1 will be PDI 30%, Progress 30% and WAVI 40%.

Stage 2:

  • At its option, Progress may invest a further US$1.5 million (approximately A$2 million) in WAMIL in 12 months or less to earn an additional 25% equity.

  • If Progress invests the US$1.5 million, PDI has the option to purchase equity from WAVI such that its equity in WAMIL will remain at 30% and WAVI will be reduced to 15%. It is PDI’s present intention to do this, however if PDI and WAVI cannot agree on a price for that transaction, PDI can choose to contribute pro rata to the Stage 2 exploration program to maintain its 30% equity or simply dilute to 19.1% (in the case of disappointing results).

  • If Progress contributes and PDI maintains its 30% equity, the parties’ equities at the end of Stage 2 will be Progress 55%, PDI 30% and WAVI 15%.

After Stage 2:

  • Any of the three partners may contribute to pre-approved work programs to maintain their respective equities in WAMIL or dilute down in accordance with a standard dilution formula.

  • Once WAVI’s equity is reduced to 15%, it will be free carried at that level through to decision to mine, at which point it will be required to either contribute to a mine development or dilute down in accordance with a standard dilution formula.

Quality of Assay
Data and
Laboratory Tests
The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory
procedures used and
whether the technique is
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 reported in this release were assayed for gold by
50g fire assay at the ALS laboratory in Ghana.
At the lab, regular assay repeats, lab standards, checks and
blanks were inserted and analysed.
Unlabelled standards (Certified Reference Materials) and
blanks were also inserted by team members on site at
Bobosso.
Samples were prepared at ALS’s sample preparation
laboratory at Yamoussoukro in Cote D’Ivoire.
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 twinning was undertaken in this program.
Field data collection was undertaken by site geologists and
supervised by Predictive and Progress management.
Location of Data
points
Accuracy and quality of
surveysused 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.

Zone 30 North.
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 been applied
The holes reported here were drilled as shown on the
included locality plans.
No judgement has yet been made by an independent
qualified consultant on whether the drill density is
sufficient to calculate a Mineral Resource.
The samples were not composited.
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.
All drill holes reported here were drilled approximately at right
angles to the anticipated strike of the gold mineralisation.

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

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.
Sample Security The measures taken to
ensure sample security
The core samples are currently stored securely in a rented
shed close to the Bobosso field camp site.
Audits or Reviews The results of any audits or
reviews of sampling
techniques and data
No audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data
have been carried out given the reconnaissance nature of
this drill program.

The Wendene exploration permit (on which the Bobosso
prospect is located) was granted to XMI SARL in
December 2015. Currently, Predictive Discovery Limited
holds 37% and West Africa Mine Investment (WAVI) holds
63%. Progress Minerals Inc is earning 30% by expenditure
of $US1 million on exploration. Once this expenditure is
complete, Progress will hold 30%, Predictive 30% and
WAVI 40%.
Exploration
Done by Other
Parties
Acknowledgment and
appraisal of exploration
by other parties.
A substantial amount of exploration was carried out by
Equigold and Lihir Gold Limited. This work has been
acknowledged and the historical drill results reported to the
ASX on 20/1015.
Geology Deposit type, geological
setting and style of
mineralisation.
The geology of the Bobosso permit consists of mafic
volcanics and intrusives, metasediments, felsic volcanics
and intrusives. The target deposit is type is “orogenic
gold”.
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.
All the required data is provided in Table 1 (above).

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.
Diamond core samples were typically cut and assayed in 1m
intervals, however more selective sampling was performed on
more specific features of interest such as quartz veins.
No top cuts have been applied to the drill results.
Up to 3m (down-hole) of internal waste is included except in the
reported broader mineralised intervals where variable but
sometimes large amount of internal waste are included.
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 generally not yet been estimated as
these will be guided by a 3D interpretation of the drill
results which is still in progress.
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 a representative cross section
are included 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 reporting of
Exploration Results.
Intercepts are reported at 0.25g/t Au and 0.5g/t Au
cutoffs and containing at least 1g/t x m with a maximum
thickness of internal waste of 3m.
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 exploration data is either reported in this release
or has been reported previously and is referred to in the
release.
Further Work The nature and scale of
planned further work (eg tests
for lateral extensions or large
scale step out drilling.
A program of follow-up RC drilling and regional geochemical
exploration is currently under consideration.
