“ The payment from Progress Minerals is an important milestone for the Company. It represents the fulfilling of a core tenet of our project generator model by realising value while de-risking our exposure to the project and reducing overall expenditure. Importantly, the Company retains its interest in the Bobosso Project through potential future payments on development of new mines. We will continue to update the market on exploration results from this project.
Paul Roberts Managing Director
David Kelly Non-Executive Director
Over the coming months we have a stream of results to announce from partner funded exploration including up to 20,000m of drilling in Burkina Faso. Bobosso is just one of a number of projects the Company holds across Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire. It’s an exciting time for the Company with Predictive retaining a pipeline of early stage exploration work across West Africa” – said Paul Roberts, Managing Director Predictive Discovery Ltd.
Key details of the Bobosso bonus payments include:
-
First mine development anywhere on the Bobosso permits will generate a minimum payment to Predictive of US$2.15 million.
-
Progress will pay Predictive US$4.30/ore reserve ounce of gold as defined in bankable feasibility studies on up to three gold deposits, due upon first production from commercial mining operations on each of the three permit areas.
This payment will be used to support early stage exploration work and evaluation of new opportunities by Predictive across West Africa.

ABOUT THE BOBOSSO PROJECT
The Bobosso Project consists of two granted exploration permits, Bassawa and Wendene and one permit application, Dabakala, in northern Cote D’Ivoire located within the southern extension of the well mineralised Hounde Belt. Geological mapping and re-logging of historical diamond drill core by Predictive has demonstrated that gold mineralisation is hosted in a sequence of mafic volcanics. Gold mineralisation is found in both broad, moderate grade alteration zones (silica-sericite-carbonate-pyrite) and narrower, higher grade quartz veins.
