NEW PERMITS GRANTED ALONG STRIKE FROM FLAGSHIP BANKAN PROJECT
Predictive Discovery Limited (“Predictive” or “Company”) (ASX: PDI) is pleased to announce a substantial strengthening of its land position within Guinea’s Siguiri Basin with the acquisition of the Argo exploration permit and granting of the Bokoro exploration permit.
Argo (58km[2] ) and Bokoro (100km[2] ) are strategically located directly along strike from the Bankan Project located within the Kaninko and Saman permits (Figure 1) where the Company has continued to expand its gold discoveries through reverse circulation (RC), diamond (DD) and power auger drilling. Argo includes known artisanal gold workings (Figure 2). Neither permit has been systematically explored.

Recently announced drilling results have confirmed the true width of a large mineralised ore body at Bankan in fresh rock[1] . These new permits ensure that the Company can continue to explore for potential northsouth mineralised zones well to the north of the NE Bankan and Bankan Creek gold discoveries, with the north-south strike length under Predictive’s control now doubled to approximately 35km and the total ground position expanded to 358km[2] (Figure 1).
