SUBSTANTIAL OXIDE GOLD ZONE EMERGING AT NE BANKAN PROJECT

Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI, Predictive or the Company) is pleased to announce results of additional Reverse Circulation (RC), Diamond Drill (DD) and Auger holes from the Bankan Gold Project, located in Guinea.

HIGHLIGHTS

NE BANKAN

BNERD0008

  • 34m @ 1.4g/t Au from 179m

  • 28m @ 1.8g/t Au from 218m.

BNERD0022 (500m north of central gold mineralised zone)

  • 18m @ 2.2g/t Au from 74m

BNERD0026 (mineralised to EOH with DD ‘tail’ pending)

  • 52m @ 1.5g/t Au from 3m

  • 32m @ 1.3g/t Au from 118m

BNERD0027

  • 80m @ 1.1g/t Au from surface

BNERD0032

  • 10m @ 1.6g/t Au from 35m

  • 27m @ 1.2g/t Au from 51m

  • 5m @ 4.1g/t Au from 84m, including 1m @ 16.5g/t Au from 87m

BNERD0033

  • 24m @ 3.1g/t Au from 32m, including 2m @ 11.45g/t Au from 49m

Infill RC drilling has confirmed a substantial zone of shallow oxide mineralisation at NE Bankan, with deeper drilling highlighting very broad widths in fresh rock and excellent hole-to-hole continuity, as well as depth continuity.

BANKAN AUGER

  • Best new intercept of 7m @ 4.3g/t Au from 8m, 800m north-west of NE Bankan.

Commenting on the results, Predictive Discovery Managing Director Paul Roberts said:

“We are highly encouraged by the results from the first two lines of infill drilling from the shallow oxide program across the central zone at NE Bankan. This program has shown that the NE Bankan gold zone in this area is almost continuously gold mineralised over approximately 200m of horizontal width to depths of 50-70m. What this indicates is a deep, broad zone of soft, deeply weathered bedrock material which has potential to substantially improve the Project’s economics.

Also, the step-out program drilling into the western margin of the NE Bankan gold deposit continues to intersect good grade gold in fresh rock. With the main program of RC pre-collars now complete, we look forward to seeing further assays from the deeper DD "tails".

Next Steps

The initial oxide infill drill program is ongoing at NE Bankan and is expected to continue over the coming weeks. Following completion of this program and receipt of the deeper drilling RC and DD results, a systematic infill drill program will be planned in anticipation of the Maiden Resource Estimate planned for mid-2021.

In addition, RC and DD programs at Bankan Creek will target extensions to the gold mineralised system along strike and at depth, and a regional air-core program will test targets beneath anomalous gold-bearing auger intercepts at the NE Bankan, Bankan Creek and Bankan West gold prospects.

Metallurgical test work is now expected to begin in April 2021.

Over the past 10 months, the Company has made two significant greenfield discoveries at Bankan, initially at the NE Bankan prospect, where the first phase of power auger, Air Core (AC), Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drilling (DD) outlined a 1.6km-long anomalous zone of shallow gold mineralisation, now with steadily increasing RC/DD drill coverage at depth.

Bankan Creek is a satellite discovery 3km to the west of NE Bankan that has only been lightly tested but which bears the hallmarks of a strong gold mineralised system.

This announcement covers 12 RC/DD holes from the western at depth step-out program including 2 completed diamond tails (BNERD0008 and BNERD0019), 9 RC-holes from the central zone oxide program (Sections 1175100 – 1175180), and 1 completed RC hole from Bankan Creek.

The RC oxide program is testing the broader and longer zone of shallow oxide gold mineralisation in deeply weathered bedrock at NE Bankan.

The first two completed lines of oxide RC drilling have confirmed the continuity and broad widths of the oxide gold mineralisation in the upper 50-70m of the central NE Bankan gold mineralised zone.

The deeper RC/DD program at NE Bankan is designed on an 80m x 80m spacing in the west dipping plane of the gold mineralisation and is testing the extent of the gold to a vertical depth of at least 250m in fresh rock. New drilling continues to successfully identify both broad and narrow zones of gold mineralisation with all holes mineralised in part (Figures 1-5).

At Bankan Creek gold was intersected 80m north of the previous limit of drilling with a best result of 5m at 2.68g/t Au from 27m in hole BCKRC002. Additional RC drilling is planned once a rig is available from NE Bankan.

Drill samples reported in this release were assayed by fire assay at SGS in Bamako (Mali). Detailed results and a complete explanation of the methods followed in drilling and assaying the reported holes are provided in Table 1 and 2.

POWER AUGER DRILL UPDATE

Power auger drilling has been in progress since October last year. Initial drilling was on an 80m x 80m grid after which drill density was changed to a 320m x 80m grid to expand coverage over the target area more cost effectively.

The focus to date has been to search for gold mineralisation in the area between Bankan West, Bankan Creek and NE Bankan with some drilling directly to the north of NE Bankan (Figure 7)

Results reported in this release are from 230 new auger holes totalling 4,484m. In addition, new results are included for 66 previously reported shallow holes (<10m) which were deepened to provide an effective test below cover.

Planned hole depths were mostly 20m although some holes were drilled deeper where thick cover was suspected.

Better results included:

  • KKOAU1382: 7m at 4.27g/t Au from 8m

  • KKOAU1401: 16m at 1.15g/t Au from 8m

  • KKOAU0806: 10m at 0.56g/t Au from 8m

Results of this new drilling has continued to highlight anomalous areas for new gold mineralisation to the north, south and west of the NE Bankan discovery, with multiple anomalous holes in infill areas.

Follow-up exploration will comprise additional infill auger drilling where warranted, as well as deeper air core drilling where auger infill is complete. New auger drill targets will be prioritised for follow-up once the new geophysical survey data becomes available.

ABOUT PREDICTIVE

The Company’s primary focus is the 100%-owned Bankan Project, located in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, which hosts AngloGold’s large Siguiri Mine (+10Moz). In April 2020, the Company made a greenfields gold discovery on its Kaninko permit, now known as the Bankan Project.

Bankan comprises 4 tenements - Kaninko, Saman, Argo and Bokoro – a 358km[2 ] land package with no previous drilling undertaken. A 25,000-meter drilling program is currently underway with the aim of delivering an initial resource in mid-2021.

Sampling
Technique
Nature and quality of sampling (eg
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling Include
reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems
used. Aspects of the determination
of mineralisation that are 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.
Samples assayed were cut drill core and reverse circulation (RC) drill
chips.
Core was cut in half with a core saw where competent and with a knife in
soft saprolite in the upper sections of the diamond drill holes.
One metre RC chip samples were riffle split producing samples which
weighed 2-3kg for submission to the assay laboratory. Duplicate samples
were also retained for re-assay.
Sampling was supervised by qualified geologists.
Samples were dried, crushed and pulverised at the SGS laboratory in
Bamako to produce a 50g fire assay charge.
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, face-
sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so,
by what method, etc).
Drill types are 2 multipurpose drill rigs and one dedicated diamond drill
rig, all of which are capable of collecting PQ, HQ and NQ core. One of the
multipurpose rigs is being used for RC drilling using a 118mm diameter
reverse circulation hammer.

Sample recoveries were measured in the normal way for diamond drill core.
Core recoveries were generally excellent except for the saprolite where some
core loss was experienced owing to clayey core being washed out in the
diamond drilling process. Given that most of these saprolite core loss zones
were obtained in mineralised intervals, grade is probably underestimated in
those sections as zones of core loss are assumed to contain no gold.
Significant sample bias is not expected with cut core.
RC chips:
Each 1 metre drill sample was weighed.
Sample recoveries were in general high and no unusual measures were taken
to maximise sample recovery.
Significant sample bias is not expected with riffle splitting of RC chips.

in nature. Core (or
costean/Trench, channel,
etc) photography.
The total length and percentage
of the relevant intersections
logged.
All drill samples were logged systematically for lithology, weathering,
alteration, veining, structure and minor minerals. Minor minerals were
estimated quantitively. A core orientation device was employed enabling
orientated structural measurements to be taken.
Sub-Sampling
Technique and
Sample
Preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken. If non-core, whether
riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures
adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity
of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
The diamond drill samples were collected by longitudinally splitting core
using a core saw or a knife where core was very soft and clayey. Half of
the core was sent off to the laboratory for assay. The sampling method is
considered adequate for a diamond drilling program of this type.
The RC samples were collected by riffle splitting samples from large bags
collected directly from the cyclone on the drill rig. Sample condition is
generally dry or moist, however some samples are wet. One field
duplicate was taken and assayed every 50m. The sampling method is
considered adequate for an RC drilling program of this type.
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 were assayed by SGS technique FAA505 for gold with a detection
limit of 5ppb Au. All samples with gold values exceeding 10g/t Au were re-
assayed using SGS method FAA515 with a detection limit of 0.01g/t Au.
Field duplicates, standards and blank samples were each submitted for every
15 samples on a rotating basis.
Diamond core field duplicates were obtained by cutting the half core sample
into two quarter core samples. As samples are not homogenised some
variation is expected.
Duplicate and standards analyses were all returned were within acceptable
limits of expected values.
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
At this stage, the intersections have not been verified independently.
No twin holes were drilled in the holes reported here but some drilling has
been done previously sufficiently close to a previously drilled holes to
provide confirmation of the location of mineralisation. Specifically
KKODD002 was drilled close to Air Core Hole KKOAC001 and demonstrated
that that similar, consistent gold mineralisation was present in the near
surface.
Location of Data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys
used tolocate drill holes (collar
and down- hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other
locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Drill hole collar locations were recorded at the completion of each hole by
hand-held GPS.
Positional data was recorded in projection WGS84 Zone 29N.

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 diamond and RC drill holes were designed to explore the gold
mineralised system in fresh rock. Single DD holes are in the process of
being drilled on most 80m spaced sections in the 1.3km long zone tested
previously with RC drilling.
The adequacy of the current drill hole spacing for Mineral Resource
estimation is not yet known as an appropriate understanding of
mineralisation continuity has not yet been established
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 and reported
if material.
There is very limited outcrop in the immediate area but based on the small
number of geological observations and the overall strike of the anomaly, an
east west line orientation with holes inclined to the west was considered
most likely to test the target mineralised zone. Results from earlier drilling
has now determined that the overall dip of the gold mineralised envelope is
to the west. All drill holes reported in this release were drilled from west to
east to obtain near-true widths through the gold mineralisation.
Sample Security The measures taken to ensure
sample security
Core trays and RC chips are stored in a guarded location close to the
nearby Bankan Village. Coarse rejects and pulps will be eventually
recovered from SGS in Bamako and stored at Predictive’s field office in
Kouroussa.
Audits or Reviews The results of any audits or
reviews of sampling techniques

this is the case.
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 in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearlystated.
Diamond and RC drill sampling was generally in one metre intervals.
Up to 2m (down-hole) of internal waste is included for results reported at both
the 0.25g/t Au and 0.5g/t Au cut-off grades.
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 been estimated for intercepts where mineralisation
orientation is reasonably clear.
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 map, cross sections and a longitudinal projection
are included in this release (Figures 1-6).
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.
Comprehensive reporting of the drill results is provided in Tables 1
and 2.

Notes: Power auger drilling is carried out with a 4WD mounted auger rig capable of drilling vertical holes up to 30m long. The target
depth on this drill program was 20m. Up to 5 samples were collected in 4m intervals and assayed for gold. The prepared drill samples
were sent to the SGS laboratory in Bamako, Mali for pulverisation and fire assay gold analysis. Reported (colour coded) results are for
a calculated length-weighted composite starting from a depth of 4m (the average thickness of the laterite – which is partly
transported) to the end of each hole. The RL range for the power auger grid in this area is 388-418m. Individual RLs are not reported in
this announcement because theyare not relevant to interpretingauger drill data of this type.
