BOUNDIALI RC DRILL RESULTS CONTINUE TO IMPRESS

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Assays received from a 16-hole step-out drilling program completed in June at the Boundiali Project (South), testing a 920m-long section of the Nyangboue gold mineralised zone as part of the Predictive Discovery (ASX:PDI) and Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG) Cote D’Ivoire joint venture.

  • New intercepts consist of 65 reportable gold intervals including some high grade values, building on the highly encouraging results from the 31-hole infill RC drilling program completed in March-April 2019, which included 27m at 2.42g/t gold (ASX release dated 27 May 2019[1] ).

  • Better intercepts (0.25g/t Au cut-off grade) included:

  • BRC208 - 3m at 14.97g/t gold from 9m

  • BRC206 - 13m at 1.92g/t gold from 68m

  • BRC209 – 16m at 1.64g/t gold from 7m

  • BRC209 – 10m at 2.32g/t gold from 146m

  • BRC202 – 4m at 3.56g/t gold from 109m

  • BRC201 - 5m at 2.31g/t gold from 29m

  • • BRC202 - 6m at 2.48g/t gold from 71m

  • BRC206 - 6m at 2.68g/t gold from 116m

  • BRC213 - 7m at 1.92g/t gold from 112m

  • Results confirm the strong potential for the Nyangboue gold system to grow in extent, with mineralisation remaining open along strike and down dip.

Predictive Discovery Limited ( ASX:PDI ) ( Predictive or Company ) is pleased to announce results from a recently completed step-out RC drilling program at its Boundiali Project, located in Cote D’Ivoire. The Boundiali Project is located within the same greenstone belt as the large Tongon (4.6 Moz) and Sissingue (1.0 Moz) gold mines.

“These new results from Nyangboue add to the picture obtained in the April-May infill drilling program of a series of north-striking, sub-parallel, gold-mineralised zones dipping shallowly to the west. Given that the mineralisation is open to the north, south and down dip, there is clearly more drilling to be done at Nyangboue to determine the full size of the gold mineralised system. When combined with the new gold mineralisation discovered in the Boundiali North permit, the potential scale of the mineralised systems at Boundiali continue to grow.

Release of these results is a great start to the joint venture relationship with new partner Resolute Mining. We look forward to working with Resolute to uncover more gold in the Boundiali Project and across our joint venture projects in Cote D’Ivoire.” – Commented Predictive Discovery Managing Director Paul Roberts

1 ASX ANNOUNCEMENT - NEW DRILL RESULTS STRENGTHEN BOUNDIALI PROJECT IN COTE D’IVOIRE https://www.investi.com.au/api/announcements/pdi/e0054bbf-ebc.pdf

These new results come from part of the Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG) joint venture exploration program in Cote D’Ivoire (formerly the Toro JV) with a current focus on the Boundiali and Ferkessedougou North Projects each of which contain recent gold discoveries and excellent potential to find further gold mineralisation.

The Company has interests in approximately 5,000km[2] of prospective landholdings across the world-class Birimian greenstone belts of Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 1).

BOUNDIALI SOUTH (NYANGBOUE GOLD PROSPECT) – RC DRILLING

The joint venture completed a 16-hole step-out program (totalling 1,874m) in June 2019 to follow-up the 31 hole infill RC drilling program completed in March-April. This new program extended infill drill coverage to approximately 920m of mineralised strike on the Nyangboue gold prospect (Figure 3). The RC holes were designed to explore for mineralisation both up-dip and down-dip of earlier intercepts and along strike of the earlier infill drill lines.

Reportable gold drill hole intersections are summarised in Table 1 and are graphically represented in Figures 2 and 3. The new drilling encountered broad zones of anomalous gold mineralisation with multiple gold higher-grade intercepts recorded. The geology encountered included conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones and shales. Depth of weathering averages approximately 40m.

The RC holes were angled at -60° and drilled to a maximum downhole depth of 192m (vertical depth 166m). The drill program was carried out by West African-based contractor Geodrill and the drill samples were assayed by bottle roll cyanidation at Bureau Veritas in Abidjan. Gold mineralised intercepts will be re-assayed later by fire assay.

NEXT STEPS

The latest drill results have provided additional positive indications of the growing scale of the Boundiali gold mineralised systems. Once the remaining Boundiali North drill results are received, the joint venture will review results of the entire March to June drilling campaign and decide on next steps. More drilling is expected in the upcoming field season, which begins in October 2019.

BOUNDIALI PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Boundiali Project consists of two permits – Boundiali North and Boundiali South (Figure 4) - which cover 29km of strike length within a very well-mineralised greenstone belt. The southern portion of the belt remains underexplored with a significant opportunity to discover new, large gold deposits.

Predictive’s first exploration program on the permit was a BLEG stream sediment survey[2] in 2014 which discovered a series of gold stream sediment anomalies, the strongest of which was downstream of the Nyangboue Prospect. Subsequent soil sampling by joint venture partner Toro Gold Limited in 2015-16 revealed the 6km-long Nyangboue gold geochemical anomaly[3] .

A 2016 RC drilling program identified gold mineralisation extending over at least 1.2km of strike in the southern part of the anomaly. In 2015 reconnaissance sampling across the permit resulted in the discovery of three drill targets, Nyangboue (a 6km-long soil anomaly), Nyangboue South (2.5 km-long soil anomaly), Gbemou (3km NE trending soil anomaly). Initial RC and diamond drilling in 2016/17 on the Nyangboue Prospect returned a series of excellent drill results including 30m at 8.3g/t gold from 39m and 28m at 4.04g/t gold from 3m[4] .

In 2018 the joint venture undertook a soil geochemistry program comprising 6,338 samples on the Boundiali North permit, identifying a series of gold anomalies extending over 14km clustered around the inferred north-south Nyangboue structure which also passes through the Nyanboue gold mineralised zone, further south. Higher gold values include 1,185, 806 and 626 ppb gold[5] .

Following the initial soil sampling program, the joint venture completed a 6,809m trenching program over the Boundiali North permit. In March 2019 an RC drill rig began work at Boundiali South (Nyangboue) and in April it was moved to Boundiali North where a substantial reconnaissance RC drill program was completed testing targets identified from the trenching program.

PREDICTIVE STRATEGY (BACKGROUND)

In recent years, the Company has assembled a large portfolio of properties across the world-class Birimian greenstone belts of Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea and Burkina Faso. Core to the Predictive strategy has been to maximise the probability of making multiple gold discoveries while minimising expenditure and the frequency of dilutive capital raisings. As part of this strategy, Predictive has entered into joint ventures with development-orientated partners on projects in Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso. The Company holds significant minority interests (30-49%) in these projects with most exploration activity funded by partners.

This approach has already yielded gold discoveries in Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, including the recently announced Ouarigue South discovery at Ferkessedougou North Project[6] . The Company is also in the early stages of exploring a series of 100% owned projects in Guinea, which have produced encouraging gold geochemical anomalies at the Nonta and Kankan Projects .

Material to 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
of detailed information.
All of the sampling described in Table 1 refers to RC drill holes.
A representative subsample of the RC drill chips was obtained
using a riffle splitter. A second reference sample was obtained
using a spear.
The assayed drill samples are judged to be representative of the
rock being drilled because representative sub-sampling of the RC
drill samples was achieved.
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,

At the lab, regular assay repeats, lab standards, checks and blanks
were inserted and analysed.
Unlabelled standards (Certified Reference Materials), blanks and
duplicate samples were also inserted by Toro personnel on site at
Boundiali.

One hole (BRC004) was twinned in 2016 and a second one
(BRC208) was partially twinned in the drill program reported here.
Grade variability was recorded in both twin holes suggesting that
there is a “nugget effect” probably caused by the presence of
relatively coarse gold.

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 largely drilled on section lines 80m
apart.
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.
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 andreportedif material.
All drill holes reported here were drilled approximately from west
to east to test a WNW dipping gold mineralised quartz vein set
(Figure 3).
Sample Security The measures taken to ensure sample
security
The drill samples are currently stored securely at Toro Gold’s
compound in the town of Boundiali.
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.
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
Mineral
Tenement
and Land
Tenure 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
operatein the area.
The Boundiali exploration permit was granted to PDI Cote
D’Ivoire SARL in January 2014.Toro Gold Limited (now part
of Resolute Mining) has earned a 70% interest in PDI Cote
D’Ivoire SARL to date.
Exploration
Done by Other
Parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
PDI is not aware of any effective gold exploration over the
Boundiali permit prior to PDI’s initial work, however historic
records are incomplete at the Cote D’Ivoire government
geological agency.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.
The geology of the Boundiali permit consists of granite,
metasediments, mafic volcanics and intrusives, and
conglomerates.
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 whythisisthe case.
All of the required data is provided in Table 1 (above).
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 indetail.
All RC samples were collected and assayed in 1m intervals.
No top cuts have been applied to the drill results.
Up to 3m (down-hole) of internal waste is included.
Mineralised intervals are reported on a weighted average basis.

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,truewidth not known’).
True widths have not been estimated as the geological
controls on mineralisation in these initial drill holes into the
prospect are not yet completely understood.
The holes were drilled from west to east to test a WNW
dipping quartz vein set which is known to contain visible
gold from the 2017 diamond drilling program on this
prospect.
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 location of the drill
holes is 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 reporting of
Exploration Results.
All intercepts containing grades above 0.25g/t Au and at
least 1g/t x m with a maximum thickness of internal
waste of 3.0m are reported in this release.
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.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commerciallysensitive.
Further work will be considered once drill results from
Boundiali North are received.

Competent Persons Statement

The exploration results reported herein, insofar as they relate to mineralisation are based on information compiled by Mr Paul Roberts (Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists). Mr Roberts is a full-time employee of the company and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits being considered to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.
