LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of Predictive Discovery Limited ( Company ), I am pleased to invite you to participate in a non-renounceable pro-rata 1 for 15 entitlement offer of Shares at an issue price of $0.05 each ( New Shares ), to raise approximately $2.12 million (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ).

The Entitlement Offer will only be made to Eligible Shareholders registered at the Record Date. The Entitlement Offer is scheduled to close at 5.00pm (WST) on 9 June 2020. To accept your Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, you will need to complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and pay all application monies prior to the Entitlement Offer Closing Date in accordance with the instructions on the form and as outlined in this Prospectus. Eligible Shareholders may apply for some or all of their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer and may also apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement (for further details see Section 1.2). Details of how to participate in the Entitlement Offer are provided on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and in Section 2. The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.

The Company has enjoyed great success recently with the discovery of the North-East Bankan gold deposit on its 100% owned Kaninko Project in Guinea ( Kaninko Project ). The Company’s Share price rose strongly on 15-16 April 2020 after the North-East Bankan drill results were announced to the ASX on 15 April 2020. With the release of these results and the recognition that a large gold deposit may be present at the Kaninko Project, the Company’s strategy has changed with a greatly increased focus on its Guinea projects and especially on the Kaninko Project.

With funding from the Entitlement Offer and the Placement (as announced to the ASX on Tuesday, 5 May 2020), the Company plans to undertake a large exploration program on the Kaninko Project over the next 12 months while continuing to undertake lower key activities on the rest of its ground portfolio. The Company’s overall objective is to achieve a maiden resource estimate on the Kaninko Project by mid-2021. The funds raised pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will contribute towards:

  1. a substantial drill program focused on the recent discovery at the North-East Bankan gold deposit with additional drilling on nearby prospects. The program will map out the full extent of North-East Bankan’s surface footprint, explore the full width of the gold mineralised system and drill it at depth, and will consist of at least:

  2. (a) 25,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling;

  3. (b) 5,000 metres of diamond drilling; and

  4. (c) 20,000 metres of power auger drilling;

  5. targeting a maiden resource estimate at the North-East Bankan gold deposit by mid2021;

  6. a metallurgical test work program on the Kaninko Project;

  7. ongoing early stage exploration on the Company’s other 100% owned Guinea exploration portfolio; and

iv

Doc ID 729384213/v12

  1. working capital, including costs of the Entitlement Offer.

The Prospectus includes further details of the Entitlement Offer and the effect of the Entitlement Offer on the Company, and a statement of the risks associated with investing in the Company. This is an important document and should be read in its entirety. If you have any doubts or questions in relation to the Prospectus you should consult your stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other independent professional advisor to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

On behalf of the Board of the Company, I thank you for your continued support. I believe that, with our progress on multiple fronts, this capital raising will support a higher level of activity and provide the platform for an acquisition. I strongly urge you to consider taking up your Entitlement and being part of this exciting new phase in our Company’s development.

Yours faithfully

INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

This Section is intended to highlight key information for potential investors. It is an overview only, and is not intended to replace the Prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus in full before deciding to invest in Securities.

Key Information Further
Information
Transaction specific prospectus
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for Entitlement Offer of
continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has
been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It
does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering
prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been
had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of
the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be
known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may
consult.
Section 5.2
Risk factors
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the
Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which
investors should be aware are set out in Section 4, including (but not
limited to) risks in respect of:

Exploration stage and success -The tenements of the Company are at
the exploration stage only. The Company is not at the development
stage. There can be no assurance that exploration of the tenements
currently held by the Company, or any other tenements that may be
acquired in the future by the Company, will result in the discovery of
an economic deposit. Investors should understand that mineral
exploration and any subsequent development are high-risk
undertakings. See Section 4.2(f).

Geopolitical risk -The Company is pursuing projects located in
Guinea, Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire in West Africa and so is subject
to the risks associated with operating in that region of the world.
These risks may include economic, social or political instability or
change, hyperinflation, currency convertibility or instability and
changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation,
taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control,
exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return
of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as
well as government control over mineral properties or government
regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors
or require other benefits to be provided to local residents. See
Section 4.2(b).

Finance risk -Settlement of the Placement is subject to shareholder
approval at a general meeting scheduled to take place on or around
10 June 2020. Furthermore, the Placement will not complete if the
ASX All Ordinaries Index as published by ASX closes below 4800 for two

consecutive days, or if the ASX All Ordinaries Index closes below 4800
on the day immediately prior to scheduled settlement of the
Placement, unless waived by the lead manager to the Placement,
Hartleys Limited.

COVID-19 risk –The Company recognises the current global COVID-19
pandemic may impact on its operations. Specifically, Government
restrictions may prevent Company staff or contractors from carrying
out their exploration activities and impede the supply of equipment or
other exploration consumables required to undertake the exploration
work. See section 4.2(g).

Tenement title- Interests in tenements in Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire and
Burkina Faso are governed by the mining law and regulations of those
countries. There is no guarantee that the mining law or regulations of
any one of those three countries will not be changed in a way that is
adverse to the Company’s interests. The Company’s title to its
tenements generally requires the Company to continue to satisfy its
expenditure or work commitments. The Company currently has no
reason to believe that it will not satisfy those commitments in Guinea
and Cote D’Ivoire, however this cannot be guaranteed. In Burkina Faso,
the Company’s joint venture partner, Montage Gold Corporation, has
sought to rely on ''force majeure'' provisions over expenditure
requirements on the basis that the physical security risk in Burkina
Faso is too high to permit resumption of field work. At this stage, the
Burkina Faso Government has not granted reliance on such force
majeure provisions to exploration companies in Burkina Faso. While
there is no apparent Government intention to remove permits from
companies in the same situation, the possibility remains that the
Burkina Faso Government may do so at some point in the future. See
Section 4.2(d).

Farm out strategy –The Company is currently a joint venture partner
with Resolute Mining Limited in relation to six granted exploration
permits in Cote d’Ivoire, Montage Gold Corporation in relation to nine
granted permits in Burkina Faso and Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd in
relation to two exploration licences in Australia. The Company’s
current exploration plans in Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso depend on
those partners continuing to spend money exploring the properties in
question, otherwise the Company may have to take responsibility to
advance exploration and keep the properties in good stead. This may
involve unforeseen expenditures or the necessity of surrendering
prospective exploration permits. See Section 4.2(d).

Litigation and counterparty risks –The Company is not currently
involved in any litigation, however like any corporation operating in a
commercial setting, the Company is exposed to potential legal and
other claims or disputes in the course of its business, including
litigation from employees, regulators or other third parties. As with all
litigation, there are risks involved. In addition, there is a risk of

financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to
which the Company is or may become a party, or the insolvency or
managerial failure by any of the contractors or other suppliers used by
the Company in any of its activities, or that any of those agreements
are terminated in accordance with their terms. There is also a risk of
legal or other disputes between the Company and co-venturers or
contractors or other suppliers. In particular, the successful exploration
of the Company’s projects in Guinea and Cote d’Ivoire are heavily
dependent on the services to be provided by the Company’s drilling
services contractors. See Section 4.4(b).
Entitlement Offer
This Prospectus is for a non-renounceable entitlement offer of 1 New
Share for every 15 existing Shares held by Eligible Shareholders on the
Record Date at an issue price of $0.05 per New Share to raise up to
approximately $2.12 million (before costs).
Section 1.1
Top-Up Facility
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will form
the Shortfall.
Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to taking up their Entitlements in full,
apply for Additional New Shares, in excess of their Entitlement as described
below (Top-Up Facility). An offer to Eligible Shareholders to acquire
Additional New Shares forming part of the Shortfall will only be available
where there is a Shortfall and will only be issued to the extent necessary to
make up any shortfall in subscriptions and subject to the allocation policy
below.
The offer of Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility commences
on the same date as the Entitlement Offer and will remain open until the
Closing Date. Applications for Additional New Shares must be made in
accordance with the instructions set out in Section 2.4.
Additional New Shares issued under the Top-Up Facility shall be issued on
the same terms as the New Shares being offered under the Entitlement
Offer.
Subject to there being a sufficient Shortfall, the Company will allow Eligible
Shareholders that have fully subscribed for their Entitlement under the
Entitlement Offer to subscribe for up to a maximum number of Additional
New Shares equal to their Entitlement (i.e. 100% of their Entitlement) by
completing the relevant part of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or
through BPAY®. In other words, the maximum number of New Shares and
Additional New Shares (in aggregate) a Shareholder can apply for is double
their Entitlement.

New Shares applied for under the Top-Up Facility.

1. Details of the Entitlement Offer

1.1 Entitlement Offer

The Company is making a non-renounceable pro rata offer to Eligible Shareholders of new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.05 each, on the basis of 1 New Share for every 15 Shares held at 5.00pm (WST) on the Record Date ( Entitlement Offer ).

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has on issue 635,790,066 Shares and 94,125,003 Quoted Options and 1,952,500 Unquoted Options.

Assuming no Shares are issued on conversion of the existing Options, and subject to rounding, the Entitlement Offer is for a maximum of 42,386,004 New Shares to raise up to approximately $2.12 million (before costs).

Up to a total of 48,791,171 New Shares could be issued under the Entitlement Offer if all the existing Options are converted into Shares between the date of the Prospectus and the Record Date.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue. Further details on the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer are contained in Section 5.1.

1.2

Top-Up Facility

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will form the Shortfall.

Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to taking up their Entitlements in full, apply for Additional New Shares, in excess of their Entitlement as described below ( Top-Up Facility ). An offer to Eligible Shareholders to acquire Additional New Shares forming part of the Shortfall will only be available where there is a Shortfall and will only be issued to the extent necessary to make up any shortfall in subscriptions and subject to the allocation policy below.

The offer of Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility commences on the same date as the Entitlement Offer and will remain open until the Closing Date. Applications for Additional New Shares must be made in accordance with the instructions set out in Section 2.4.

Additional New Shares issued under the Top-Up Facility shall be issued on the same terms as the New Shares being offered under the Entitlement Offer.

The allocation policy for the issuance of Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility will be as follows:

  • (a) Eligible Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Shares above their Entitlement may apply for Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Additional New Shares using BPAY® (refer to Section 2.4). Applications for Additional New Shares from Eligible Shareholders are capped at 100% of an Eligible Shareholder's Entitlement, such that the maximum aggregate amount of New Shares an Eligible Shareholder can apply for under this Prospectus is double their Entitlement;

1

Doc ID 729384213/v12

  • (b) if there is insufficient Shortfall to satisfy the applications made in accordance with paragraph (a) above, the applications will be scaled back at the discretion of the Directors;

  • (c) if any Shortfall is remaining after the applications made in accordance with paragraph (a) above are satisfied, the Directors reserve the discretion to place any such Shares within three months after the close of the Entitlement Offer, at a price no less than the Issue Price. In exercising this discretion, the Board will take into consideration a number of factors, including the Company's best interests, the extent to which a placee has sold or bought Shares before, the financial needs of the Company, and the optimal composition of the Company's register following the Entitlement Offer;

  • (d) Directors and related parties will not be eligible to apply for any Additional New Shares; and

  • (e) no Shares will be issued under the Top-Up Facility if their issue would contravene the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act.

Subject to the above, the Additional New Shares are to be issued at the discretion of the Company and as such there is no guarantee that any Additional New Shares will be issued to Eligible Shareholders or other third parties. Excess Application Monies will be refunded without interest.

It is a term of the Top-Up Facility that, should the Company scale back applications for Additional New Shares, the Applicant will be bound to accept such lesser number allocated to them.

1.12 Residents outside Australia

(a) General

This Prospectus, and any accompanying Application Form do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer of Securities in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus or the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

Shareholders (including Ineligible Foreign Shareholders) and potential investors with a registered address outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required, or other formalities need to be observed to enable them to accept or deal with their Entitlement. The return of a completed Application Form from a Shareholder or potential investor with a registered address outside Australia will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by that Shareholder or potential investor that all relevant approvals have been obtained and that the Company may legally issue the New Shares to that Shareholder or potential investor.

(b) Ineligible Foreign Shareholders

The Company believes that it is unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders who on the Record Date have a registered address outside Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius, Hong Kong or Singapore ( Ineligible Foreign Shareholders ). The Company has formed this view having considered:

  • (i) the number and value of the New Shares that would be offered to those Shareholders; and

  • (ii) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and the requirements of regulatory authorities in the overseas jurisdictions.

Accordingly, Ineligible Foreign Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer. The Directors do however reserve their right to accept subscriptions from Eligible Shareholders from outside Australia and New Zealand.

(c) New Zealand offer restrictions

The New Shares are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand at the Record Date to whom the offer of New Shares is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand).

This Prospectus has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This Prospectus is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

5

Doc ID 729384213/v12

(d) Mauritius offer restrictions

In accordance with The Securities Act 2005 of Mauritius, no offer of the New Shares may be made to the public in Mauritius without the prior approval of the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. Accordingly, this offer is being made on a private placement basis only and does not constitute a public offering. As such, this Prospectus has not been approved or registered by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission and is for the exclusive use of the person to whom it is addressed. The Prospectus is confidential and should not be disclosed or distributed in any way without the express written permission of the Company.

(e) Hong Kong offer restrictions

WARNING: The contents of this Prospectus have not been reviewed by any Hong Kong regulatory authority. You are advised to exercise caution in relation to the Entitlement Offer. If you are in doubt about any contents of this document, you should obtain independent professional advice.

(f) Singapore offer restrictions

This Prospectus and any other materials relating to the New Shares have not been, and will not be, lodged or registered as a prospectus in Singapore with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this document and any other document or materials in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of New Shares may not be issued, circulated or distributed, nor may these securities be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore except pursuant to and in accordance with exemptions in Subdivision (4) Division 1, Part XIII of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore ( SFA ), or as otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of any other applicable provisions of the SFA.

This document has been given to you on the basis that you are an existing holder of Shares. In the event that you are not such a shareholder, please return this document immediately. You may not forward or circulate this document to any other person in Singapore.

Any offer is not made to you with a view to the New Shares being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. There are on-sale restrictions in Singapore that may be applicable to investors who acquire New Shares. As such, investors are advised to acquaint themselves with the SFA provisions relating to resale restrictions in Singapore and comply accordingly.

(g) Notice to nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Entitlement Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

Nominees and custodians may not distribute this Prospectus, and may not permit any beneficial Shareholder to participate in the Entitlement Offer, in

6

Doc ID 729384213/v12

any country outside Australia except, with the consent of the Company, to beneficial Shareholders resident in certain other countries where the Company may determine it is lawful and practical to make the Entitlement Offer.

1.13

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders or potential investors advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares under this Prospectus.

The statements of financial position have been prepared to provide Shareholders and potential investors with information on the assets and liabilities of the Company and the pro forma assets and liabilities of the Company as noted above. The historical and pro forma information is presented in abbreviated form; it does not include all of the disclosures required by the Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial statements.

The pro forma statement of financial position assumes that the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed.

3.3 Effect on control

(a) Summary

The Company is of the view that the Entitlement Offer will not affect control (as defined by section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company. No Shareholder's voting power in the Company may increase to 20% or above as a result of the Offer.

15

Doc ID 729384213/v12

No nominee has been appointed for Ineligible Foreign Shareholders under section 615 of the Corporations Act and, as such, Eligible Shareholders will not be able to rely on the exception for rights issues in item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, when an Eligible Shareholder applies for some or all of their Entitlement, or applies for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement, they must have regard to section 606 of the Corporations Act.

Eligible Shareholders who may be at risk of exceeding the 20% voting power threshold in section 606 as a result of participating should seek professional advice before completing and returning their Application Form.

(b) Major Shareholder

The Company's largest Shareholder is Capital Di Limited ( Capital ). Capital currently holds 90,000,000 Shares, with a voting power of 14.16%.

In the unlikely event Capital is the only participant in the Entitlement Offer and subscribes for its full Entitlement (6,000,000 Shares), and no other Shares are issued or Options converted into Shares, its voting power would increase to 14.96%.

(c) Other Shareholders

No Shareholder’s voting power in the Company may increase to 20% or above as a result of the Entitlement Offer.

3.4 Potential dilution

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:

Shareholder 3 1,000,000 0.16% 66,667 1,000,000 0.15%
Shareholder 4 100,000 0.02% 6,667 100,000 0.01%

Note: The dilution effect shown in the table is on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under the Top-Up Facility or within 3 months of the Entitlement Offer closing. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall is not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

Doc ID 729384213/v12

4. Risk factors

The New Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the business activities of the Company. Whilst the Directors recommend the Entitlement Offer, potential investors should consider whether the New Shares offered are a suitable investment having regard to their own personal investment objectives and financial circumstances and the risk factors set out below.

This Section identifies the areas the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in the Company. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company (and its subsidiaries) involves a number of risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies.

There are general risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There are also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business and its involvement in the exploration and mining industry. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its directors because of the nature of the activities of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, lists some of the major risk factors, of which potential investors need to be aware.

Potential investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and, if in any doubt, consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

4.1 Risks specific to the Entitlement Offer

(a) Potential for dilution

Upon completion of the Entitlement Offer, assuming all New Shares are subscribed for and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the total number of Shares on issue will increase from 635,790,066 to 678,176,070. Furthermore, assuming the Placement completes, the total number of Shares on issue will increase by a further 138,000,000 Shares.

This means that each Share will represent a lower proportion of the ownership of the Company. It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Entitlement Offer and the Placement and the Directors do not make any representation to such matters.

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer and assuming the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed, their holdings are likely to be diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Please refer to Section 3.4 of this Prospectus for examples of how the potential dilutionary effect of the Entitlement Offer may impact Shareholders.

4.2 Risks Specific to the Company

(a) Future capital needs

Further funding will be required by the Company in addition to the amounts raised under the Entitlement Offer to support its ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all.

18

Doc ID 729384213/v12

The Company's ability to raise further capital within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors, including prospectivity of projects (existing and future), the results of exploration, subsequent feasibility studies, development and mining, share market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.

No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms (or at all). If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the Company may not be able to develop its projects and it may impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Any additional equity financing will dilute Shareholders and debt financing, if available, may restrict the Company's financing and operating activities.

The Company notes that the Placement announced on 5 May 2020 is subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting scheduled to take place on or around 10 June 2020. Furthermore, the Placement will not complete if the ASX All Ordinaries Index as published by ASX closes below 4800 for two consecutive days, or if the ASX All Ordinaries Index closes below 4800 on the day immediately prior to scheduled settlement of the Placement, unless waived by the lead manager to the Placement, Hartleys Limited.

(b) Geopolitical risk

The Company is pursuing projects located in Guinea, Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire areas of West Africa and so is subject to the risks associated with operating in that region of the world. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in West African countries that affect foreign ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company and its projects.

There is no guarantee that, even if a potentially economic deposit is discovered, the political environment will not change in a way that will significantly impact on the economics of a mining project. Furthermore, the Company is operating in areas where there are subsistence farmers and artisanal miners and where any discovery could lead to access disputes, considerably delaying any proposed development. At this stage, the Company does not maintain political risk insurance.

(c) Reliance on key management

The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon its key management personnel, as well as other management and technical personnel including sub-contractors. Although the Company enters into employment and incentive arrangements with its personnel to secure their services, it cannot guarantee the retention of their services.

19

Doc ID 729384213/v12

There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these people cease their engagement. The Company’s inability to recruit additional appropriate skilled and qualified personnel to replace these key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company. There can be no guarantee that personnel with the appropriate skills will be available within the Company’s required timeframes.

(d) Tenement risk

Interests in tenements in Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso are governed by the mining law and regulations of those countries. There is no guarantee that the mining law or regulations in any of those countries will not be changed in a way that is adverse to the Company’s interests.

The Company’s title to its tenements generally requires the Company to continue to satisfy its expenditure or work commitments. The Company currently has no reason to believe that it or its joint venture partner, Resolute Mining Limited, will not satisfy those commitments in Guinea or Cote D’Ivoire. However, this cannot be guaranteed. In Burkina Faso, the Company’s joint venture partner, Montage Gold Corporation, has sought to rely on ''force majeure'' provisions over tenement expenditure requirements on the basis that the physical security risk in Burkina Faso is too high to permit resumption of field work. At this stage, the Burkina Faso Government has not granted reliance on such force majeure provisions to any exploration companies. While there is no apparent Burkina Faso Government intention to remove permits from companies in this situation, it remains possible that it may do so at some point in the future.

Mining and exploration tenements, once granted, are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenement renewals will be approved. Renewal of the term of a granted tenement is at the discretion of the relevant government authority and may include additional or varied expenditure or work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of the areas comprising the Company’s projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.

(e) Tenement title

Exploration and prospective production are dependent upon the granting and maintenance of appropriate licences, permits and regulatory consents and authorisations, which may not be granted or may be withdrawn or by made subject to limitations at the discretion of government or regulatory authorities. Although the authorisations may be renewed following expiry or grant (as the case may be), there can be no assurance that such authorisations will be continued, renewed or granted, or as to the terms of renewals or grants. If the Company cannot obtain or retain the appropriate authorisations or there is a material delay in obtaining or renewing them or they are granted subject to onerous conditions, then the Company’s ability to conduct its exploration or development operations may be adversely affected.

(f)

Exploration stage and success

The tenements of the Company are at the exploration stage only. The Company is not at the development stage. There can be no assurance that exploration of the tenements currently held by the Company, or any other

20

Doc ID 729384213/v12

tenements that may be acquired in the future by the Company, will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Investors should understand that mineral exploration and any subsequent development are high-risk undertakings.

Despite the best efforts of the Company, there is no guarantee of exploration success, and even if there is exploration success, there is no guarantee that development of any such success will be commercially viable. The current and future operations of the Company will be affected by a range of factors. If exploration is successful, there will be additional costs and processes involved in moving to the development phase.

(g)

COVID-19 risk

The Company recognises the current global COVID-19 pandemic may impact on its operations. Specifically, Government restrictions may:

  • (i) prevent Company staff or contractors from carrying out their exploration activities; or

  • (ii) impede the supply of equipment or other exploration consumables required to do the exploration work.

The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The Company's ability to freely move people and equipment to and from exploration projects may cause delays or cost increases. The effects of COVID-19 on the Company's Share price may also impede the Company's ability to raise capital, or require the Company to issue capital at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to Shareholders.

(h) Liquidity and volatility

The Company is a relatively small company in terms of market capitalisation. An investment in New Shares should be regarded as speculative. The Company also has a relatively small Shareholder base. As a consequence, there is a risk, particularly in times of share market turbulence or negative investor sentiment, that there will not be a highly liquid market for Shares or that the price of Shares may decrease considerably. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of securities on ASX at any given time and the market price may by highly volatile. The past performance of the Company is not necessarily an indication as to future performance of the Company as the trading price of Shares can go up or down.

Further, due to the recent significant increase in the Company's Share price, there may be Shareholders who have participated in previous issues of purchased Shares at lower prices who choose to sell their Shares. There could be downward pressure placed on the Company's Share price if there were to be significant selling by any such Shareholders.

21

Doc ID 729384213/v12

4.3 Mining Industry Risks

(a) Exploration risks

Exploration is a high-risk activity that requires significant amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time to present a reasonable probability of success. The Company’s exploration activities are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration of minerals, including climatic conditions, hazards of operating vehicles and plant, risks associated with operating in remote areas and other similar considerations.

Conclusions drawn during mineral exploration are subject to the uncertainties associated with all sampling techniques and to the risk of incorrect interpretation of geological, geochemical, geophysical, drilling and other data.

No assurance can be given that during the exploration process Mineral Resources will be defined with preferred or desirable tonnages and/or grades that would result in feasible economic extraction. Substantial expense may be incurred without the requisite or expected degree of reward.

Further, the costs of the Company’s exploration activities may materially differ from its estimates and assumptions. No assurance can be given that the Company’s cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the value of the Company’s Shares.

(b) Operating and project risks

Even if commercial quantities of mineral resources are discovered, unforeseen risks can arise in the development and production phase including mining or processing issues, environmental hazards, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, labour forced disruption, the unavailability of materials and plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, unusual or unexpected geological formations, pit failures, changes in the regulatory environment, contractual disputes with offtakers, removal of access rights to the property(s) and adverse weather conditions. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

(c) Commodity price volatility and exchange rates risks

In the event that the Company achieves exploration success, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for commodities, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

(d) Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as

22

Doc ID 729384213/v12

identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable product, developing an economic process route to produce a saleable product, and changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent ore grades and recovery rates affecting the economic viability of the Company's projects.

(e) Resource and reserve estimates

Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates must comply with the JORC Code, 2012 Edition, and are expressions of judgements based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that are valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available through drilling, sampling and similar examinations.

In addition, JORC compliant mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on geological interpretations, as well as various economic, commercial, technical, environmental and legal assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate.

Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted, mineral resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

4.4 General Risks

(a) Unforeseen expenditure risk

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

(b) Litigation and counterparty risks

Like any corporation operating in a commercial setting, the Company is exposed to potential legal and other claims or disputes in the course of its business, including litigation from employees, regulators or other third parties. As with all litigation, there are risks involved. An adverse outcome in litigation or the cost of responding to potential or actual litigation may have a material adverse impact on the financial performance of the Company.

In addition, there is a risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party, or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors or other suppliers used by the Company in any of its activities, or that any of those agreements are terminated in accordance with their terms. There is also a risk of legal or other disputes between the Company and contractors or others suppliers.

(c) Insurance

The Company will, where possible and economically practicable, endeavour to mitigate some project and business risks by procuring relevant insurance cover. However, such insurance cover may not always be available or economically justifiable and the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance cover.

23

Doc ID 729384213/v12

(d) Discretion in use of capital

The Board and the Company’s management have discretion concerning the use of the Company’s capital resources as well as the timing of expenditures. Capital resources may be used in ways not previously anticipated or disclosed. The results and the effectiveness of the application of capital resources are uncertain. If they are not applied effectively, the Company’s financial and/or operational performance may suffer.

(e) Climate Change

There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the Company’s business or its assets.

Climate change or prolonged periods of adverse weather and climatic conditions (including rising sea levels, floods, hail, drought, water, scarcity, temperature extremes, frosts, earthquakes and pestilences) may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access and utilise its tenements and/or on the Company’s ability to transport or sell mineral commodities.

Changes in policy, technological innovation and consumer or investor preferences could adversely impact the Company’s business strategy or the value of its assets (including its tenements), or may result in less favourable pricing for mineral commodities, particularly in the event of a transition (which may occur in unpredictable ways) to a lower-carbon economy.

4.5 Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Securities. Investors should consider that the investment in the Company is high risk and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for New Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

24

Doc ID 729384213/v12

5. Additional information

5.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to Shares in the Company is set out below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Securities in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

(a) General meeting and notices

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder's name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c)

Dividend rights

Subject to the terms of issue of the Securities and the rights of persons (if any) entitled to Securities with special rights as to dividends, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Securities according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Securities.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may before declaring any dividend set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they think proper as reserves,

25

Doc ID 729384213/v12

to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Directors may from time to time grant to Shareholders the right, upon such terms as the Directors may determine, to elect to reinvest all or part of the dividends paid by the Company in subscribing for Securities and for any such purpose the Directors may implement and maintain any scheme or plan for such reinvestment, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or law be entitled or obliged to retain.

(d)

Winding up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Shareholders as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of shares

Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

(g) Issues of Shares

The issue of any new Securities is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of Securities contained in the Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Securities as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

(h) Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three

26

Doc ID 729384213/v12

quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(i) Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days' written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

5.2

Company is a disclosing entity

The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under both the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making the information available to the securities market conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions), to notify ASX once it is, or becomes aware of information concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Shares.

The Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC yearly and half-yearly financial statements accompanied by a Directors' statement and report, and an audit review or report. Copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an ASIC office (see Section 5.3 below). Copies of all documents announced to the ASX can be found at https://www.predictivediscovery.com/.

5.3
