INTRODUCTION

PDI’s major country focus is Burkina Faso, West Africa where it has established a well-qualified Burkina-based exploration team and a large regional tenement package mainly in the north-east of the country covering 1,605km[2] (Figure 1). The Company also holds four granted exploration permits in Cote D’Ivoire totalling 1,534km[2] (Figure 7).

The Company’s activities over the last 12 months have been increasingly focused on the Bongou Prospect and surrounding area in Burkina Faso, where a series of drilling programs has revealed high-grade gold mineralisation in altered granite and similar mineralisation nearby.

PDI’s tenement holding covers approximately 100km of strike length in the Samira Hill greenstone belt in eastern Burkina Faso (the Bonsiega permit group, Figure 1). This belt hosts the 2.5 million ounce Samira Hill gold deposit across the border in Niger and contains numerous active artisanal gold mine sites along its length (Figure 2). The Bangaba permit includes the largest known artisanal workings in the neighbouring Sebba Belt. PDI now owns 100% or rights to earn 95 to 100% of all its permits in Burkina Faso. PDI has discovered gold mineralisation on multiple prospects in its Eastern Burkina Faso project area during the past two years (e.g. Bongou, Dave, Laterite Hill, Solna and Tambiri – see Figure 1).

PROJECTS

Burkina Faso

Bongou Prospect (PDI 100%)

The high-grade Bongou gold discovery is located in the south-western portion of the Bonsiega Project tenements in Eastern Burkina Faso (Figures 1 and 2). It underlies artisanal workings forming an irregular open pit approximately 150m long and 50m wide. Exploration by PDI has included rock chip sampling, trenching, ground geophysical surveys and completion of 14 RC and diamond holes in 2012 and 2013 which obtained very encouraging drill intersections including[1] :

  • 68m (52m true width) at 3.2g/t Au from 99m, including:

  • 7.8m at 10.2g/t Au

  • 55m (47m true width) at 3.2 g/t Au from 215m, including:

1 Data for these results are provided in PDI’s ASX releases of 2nd December 2013 and 16th December 2013.

o 24.5m at 4.9 g/t Au

  • 49m (41m true width) at 2.8g/t Au from 144m including:

  • 6m at 7.8g/t Au

  • 8m at 4.5g/t Au

  • 48m (39.6m true width) at 4.3g/t Au from 34m, including:

  • 16m at 9.7g/t Au

  • 64m (58m true width) at 2.0g/t Au from 14m including:

  • 5m at 7.3g/t Au

  • 37m (35.5m true width) at 5.0g/t Au from 111m, including:

  • 16m at 8.9g/t Au

  • 50m (42m true width) at 1.9g/t Au from 47m, including

  • 8m at 9.2g/t Au

PDI commenced a 2,600m combined reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling program on 10 February 2014 to follow up these results. The drilling aimed to extend the Bongou mineralisation at depth and to define the nature of its boundaries, as well as explore for similar granite-hosted gold mineralisation nearby. The program was completed on 11 March 2014. Drill hole locations are shown on Figures 5 and 6 and other details of the holes are provided in Table 1.

Results from holes within the Bongou mineralised zone included:

  • 36.2m (33m true width) at 2.2/t Au from 181.8m, including:

  • 4.6m at 7.1g/t Au

  • 5.2m at 4.7g/t Au

  • 21.5m (19.5m true width) at 1.8/t Au from 313m, including:

  • 4.8m at 3.8g/t Au

  • 8m (5.4m true width) at 2.44g/t Au from 179m

  • 19.6m (18.4m true width) at 1.1g/t Au from 235m, including:

  • 3m (2.8m true width) at 1.74g/t Au, and

  • 2.9m (2.8m true width) at 5.7g/t Au .

This program gave PDI a better understanding of the geology of the Bongou mineralisation:

  • Gold mineralisation at Bongou is contained within intensely (silica-albite) altered, pyrite- and magnetite-bearing granite. The gold mineralisation is now interpreted to be contained in a simple, steeply plunging body constrained by major shearing in gabbro in the hanging wall and more massive basalt in the footwall.

4

==> picture [596 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

  • The eastern edge of the mineralisation appears to be more gradational than was previously interpreted. While there is some evidence of fault movement at the eastern end, drill hole BNGRD012 shows that the mineralised granite “inter-fingers” with sheared gabbro in this area with the ratio of barren gabbro to gold mineralised granite generally increasing towards the east.

Results of the low grade gold mineralisation were calculated at an approximate 0.2g/t Au cut-off grade. Data for these results are provided in Table 1 and PDI’s ASX releases of 2[nd] December 2013, 16[th] December 2013, 20[th] March 2014 and 1[st] April 2014. Note that once the trenching program on the eastern margin is complete, the interpreted shape of the mineralised granite body on this diagram is expected to change, at least in the near-surface.

PDI carried out a modest program of trenching and drilling in the area surrounding the Bongou Prospect in February-March 2014 (Figure 6). This was completed in conjunction with the combined reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD) program at Bongou, and aimed to test several bedrock gold anomalies discovered in 2013.

7

==> picture [596 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

Bongou Prospect W1

The program at the Bongou W1 prospect, 250m west of the Bongou Prospect (Figure 6), consisted of trenching and drilling.

A 30m-long trench was completed beneath a power auger anomaly that had a peak value of 833ppb Au. The trench encountered sheared gabbro and minor quartz veining with minor pyrite. Channel sampling of the trench wall yielded 13m of 3.7g/t Au , with a peak value of 13.1g/t Au over 1.5m.

All of the best gold grades in the main Bongou mineralised zone have been found in altered granite. The presence of such strong gold grades in sheared gabbro is therefore a highly significant new result in the exploration of the Bongou area, opening up the potential for both gabbro- and granite-hosted gold deposits.

==> picture [434 x 248] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6: Interpreted geological map of the area surrounding Bongou, highlighting many unexplored granite bodies under cover and showing the location of the previous and new power auger drilling. The locations of the granite bodies have been interpreted from samples with low Ti/Zr ratios in power auger samples, supported by mapping of the few granite outcrops in the area. The plus 40ppb Au anomalies outlined on the map are currently being followed up with trenching. Note the locations of prospects Bongou W1, W2 and E1 where reconnaissance RC drilling was carried out during the March Quarter. Assays are awaited from the new power auger lines (in blue)

Two drill holes, totalling 170m, were completed beneath the Bongou W1 Prospect trench. The first hole, BNGRC017, intersected gold anomalous values over a 19m interval of weathered, sheared gabbro, averaging 0.1g/t Au. The contrast between the high gold grades at surface and these low-grade values just 20m below suggests that there could be gold depletion in the weathered gabbro.

8

==> picture [596 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

A combined RC/DD hole was also drilled beneath BNGRC017 to test primary mineralisation. This hole, BNGRD013R, intersected sheared gabbro along with thin zones of siliceous alteration and coarse pyrite similar to mineralisation seen at the main Bongou Prospect but quite unlike any alteration seen in drill hole BNGRC017 or the overlying trench. Gold intercepts included:

  • 5.3m at 1.45g/t Au from 65.9m, including a peak value of 5.3g/t Au over 0.9m

  • 2.9m at 1.21g/t Au from 81.1m

This repetition of Bongou-style mineralisation with no surface expression directly along strike from Bongou itself shows that blind zones of similar style mineralisation are present in the area.

Bongou W2 Prospect

A single RC hole, BNGRC018, 72m deep, was drilled beneath a trench completed in the December Quarter (Figure 6). This trench, which was largely in altered granite containing minor disseminated pyrite, included a 13m zone with an average grade of 0.5g/t Au. BNGRC018 tested below that zone and intersected strongly altered granite including 12m at 1.44g/t Au from 14m including 2m at 4.3g/t Au .

This very encouraging single hole tested a bedrock gold anomaly which is approximately 300m long and just 600m from Bongou and clearly requires follow-up drilling.

This drill result also showed that surface sample gold values obtained from weathered granite can be deceptively low relative to gold grades at shallow depths below surface. The same observation has been made at Bongou. The 2013 drilling showed that modest channel sample gold values, averaging only 1g/t Au, in the artisanal open pit were underlain at shallow depths by much higher gold grades.

Bongou E1 Prospect

Two RC holes, totalling 168m, were completed to test across a 65m wide power auger anomaly with a peak value of 196ppb Au. They were located along strike from and 700m east of the Bongou Prospect (Figure 1). The drilling obtained two gold intercepts in sheared gabbro:

  • BNGRC019: 7m at 0.64g/t Au from 58m

  • BNGRC020: 3m at 1.64g/t Au from 80m

These results are further evidence of widespread gold mineralisation at Bongou which is now known to extend over at least 1.5km of strike.

Since 1 April, the Company has completed the first phase of its follow-up program aimed at:

  • Finding more granite-hosted gold mineralisation within 2km of the Bongou deposit

  • Trenching known gold anomalies

9

==> picture [596 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

  • Re-logging the Bongou core and trenching across the margins of the Bongou deposit to map the mineralised granite’s margins in order to prepare for a possible resource calculation.

Progress since the 1 April announcement has included:

  • An 842-hole power auger drilling program, totalling 3,447m (see Figure 6 for hole locations)

  • Interpretation of hand-held XRF data of the power auger samples. This has identified many more Bongou-sized granite bodies under cover than previously recognised (Figure 6). This increases the potential to discover more Bongou-like gold mineralisation

  • A trenching program to test five target gold anomalies, which is in progress

  • Trenching around the edges of the Bongou deposit. This has shown that altered granite extends at least 30m further east than previously mapped

  • Re-logging of the Bongou core, in preparation for construction of a 3D model of the mineralisation.

Planned Exploration Activities June 2014 Quarter – Burkina Faso

The June Quarter work program will focus on the Bongou area.

The March Quarter drilling program on the main Bongou mineralised zone was aimed at identifying potential open pittable high-grade resources. With the completion of this drilling, PDI’s attention has now turned to the gold anomalies shown on Figure 6, close to the Bongou discovery.

PDI’s recent work has also shown that a combination of granite and sheared gabbro/granite within 1km of the Bongou Fault is highly prospective. The Company has already recognised multiple targets containing these characteristics near Bongou and expects to find more as bedrock drilling through the thin cover continues in the months ahead.

Power auger and trench assay results are expected by early May. A round of infill power auger drilling and follow-up trenching will commence immediately thereafter with the aim of identifying RC drill targets by late May.

Results of the core re-logging and the current trenching activities at Bongou will be incorporated into a 3D geological model in May. A decision will then be made whether a formal resource calculation is warranted.

Cote d’Ivoire

Background

Detailed work on Cote d’Ivoire data sets has led PDI to identify a portfolio of high priority prospects and targets in Cote d’Ivoire. As a result, the Company has secured four exploration permits in the country, Kokumbo, Ferkessedougou, Boundiali and Kounahiri, covering a total area of 1,534km[2] (Figure 7). Of these, two permits, Boundiali and Kounahiri were granted to PDI in January, 2014.

Kokumbo Permit (PDI earning 90%)

Introduction

The permit is held by a Cote d’Ivoire company, Ivoir Negoce, and covers an area of 400km[2] in southern Cote d’Ivoire (Figure 6). Located 30km south of the country’s administrative capital, Yamoussoukro, and about 40km north of Newcrest’s operating Bonikro Gold Mine, it is serviced by a bitumen road and a power line. The area is covered by forested rolling hills and extensive lateritic cover.

Kokumbo has a long history of artisanal mining dating back to before colonial times in the late 19th century. Commercial scale mining was carried out by various parties in from early in the twentieth century until 1953. Since then all mining in the area has been by artisanal miners.

The town of Kokumbo, near the centre of the permit, services a substantial population of artisanal miners who are working on numerous prospects throughout the area. These prospects consist of both quartz vein mine operations and processing of gold mineralised laterite.

Kokumbo Reconnaissance Program

PDI geologists undertook a program of track cutting, geological mapping and ground magnetics surveys on the Kokumbo permit during the Quarter.

In addition, compilation of a large amount of historic data on the permit was completed in midApril.

Ferkessedougou Permit (PDI 100%)

The Ferkessedougou Permit was among the highest priority areas highlighted by PDI’s regional structural analysis of the country and contains some artisanal gold sites. It covers an area of 387km[2] in northern Cote d’Ivoire (Figure 7).

A program of stream sediment sampling, using the BLEG (Bulk Leach Extractable Gold) technique was completed during the March Quarter. 96 silt/clay stream sediment samples (including field duplicates) were collected over the permit (Figure 8). The samples were assayed at one of the Bureau Veritas laboratories in Perth. Details of the sampling and analytical methods employed in this survey are provided in the explanatory tables at the end of this report.

The BLEG survey revealed four gold anomalous drainages (Figure 8) which will be followed up with closer spaced BLEG sampling during the June Quarter.

Figure 8: Location of BLEG stream sediment samples on the Ferkessedougou exploration permit with gold assay ranges recorded in parts per billion (ppb).

Boundiali Permit (PDI 100%)

The Boundiali exploration permit is located within the same greenstone belt as the Syama, Sissingue and Tongon gold deposits. It covers an area of 400 km[2] in north-eastern Cote D’Ivoire and contains a number of recorded gold artisanal mine occurrences.

The permit lies directly along strike from Syama and Sissingue. Syama is a large gold mine in Mali owned by Resolute Mining Limited (ASX: RSG) and Sissingue is an undeveloped gold deposit in northern Cote D’Ivoire owned by Perseus Mining Limited (ASX: PRU).

Boundiali’s location in a structurally interesting position in an extremely well mineralised greenstone belt with known gold occurrences indicates strong prospectivity for a significant gold discovery.

Compilation of historic exploration data commenced in the March Quarter. The first phase of field work is planned for the June Quarter of 2014 and will consist of geological mapping and BLEG gold stream sediment geochemical sampling.

13

==> picture [596 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

Kounahiri Permit (PDI 100%)

The Kounahiri Permit was another of the highest priority areas highlighted by PDI’s regional structural analysis of the country. It covers an area of 347km[2] .

The first phase of field work is planned for the June Quarter of 2014 and will consist of geological mapping and BLEG gold stream sediment geochemical sampling.

Planned Exploration Activities June 2014 Quarter – Côte D’Ivoire

Field work across Côte d’Ivoire projects in the June Quarter will include:

  • Reconnaissance BLEG gold stream sediment geochemical sampling with limited geological mapping at Kokumbo, Boundiali and Kounahiri.

  • Compilation of March Quarter data on Kokumbo and definition of exploration targets.

  • Follow-up BLEG stream sediment sampling at Ferkessedougou.

CORPORATE

Placement and Share Purchase Plan

PDI completed a placement to sophisticated investors totalling $1.065 million during the March Quarter at an issue price of $0.016 per share. In addition, PDI shareholders participated in a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) during the Quarter which allowed each eligible shareholder to apply for up to $15,000 of PDI shares, also at an issue price of $0.016 per share. The SPP closed on 24 February with applications received for 20,375,000 shares to raise $326,000. These funds will be used for exploration, particularly the Bongou Prospect in Burkina Faso, and general working capital.

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

JORC Code Criteria Commentary Explanation

Nature and quality of sampling Sampling The sampling described in this report refers to reverse circulation (RC) drill (eg cut channels, random chips, Technique samples, diamond drill core samples and trench channel samples obtained or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools from the area around Bongou in Burkina Faso and bulk leach extractable gold (BLEG) stream sediment samples obtained from the Ferkessedougou appropriate to the minerals exploration permit in Cote D’Ivoire. under investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, RC drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 2 kg was pulverised etc).

RC drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 2 kg was pulverised to produce a 50 g charge for fire assay. Core sample intervals were selected to minimise geological variability within each sample (i.e. seeking to maximise the uniformity in lithology, alteration or sulphide mineralisation in each interval).

The RC samples were reduced to a 2kg sample by riffle splitting on site. The diamond core samples were cut in half longitudinally using a diamond saw. Measures were taken to avoid wet RC drilling and the drilling method was changed from RC to diamond coring at or before the point when the air pressure from the RC rig was incapable of keeping the samples dry.

Trench samples were collected from channel samples obtained from weathered rock at the base of one of the trench walls. Sampling intervals were selected to minimise geological variability within each sample (i.e. seeking to maximise the uniformity in lithology, alteration or sulphide mineralisation for each interval). Re-sampling of trench samples indicated significant variability in the same location, leading to an inference of coarse gold. Check assays using a screen fire method showed that higher grades are found in the +106 micron fraction, indicating that coarse gold is indeed present.

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.

The drill and trench samples are judged to be representative of the rock being drilled because representative sub-sampling of both the RC and diamond core samples was achieved and follow up check assaying using an appropriate method was used when evidence of coarse gold was found. The trench mineralisation is hosted by weathered, sheared gabbro. Elsewhere, almost all of the gold is hosted in fresh altered granite where detailed petrological work has failed to find any coarse gold.

The Cote D’Ivoire BLEG samples consisted of silt and clay material obtained from active stream sediment within and on the banks of streams which flow during the rainy season.

Drill type (eg core, reverse Drilling circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard

RC drilling was carried out using a 4.5 inch or 5.5 inch face sampling hammer. RC precollars varied from 20 to 200m long and the diamond drill tails were up to 221.5m long. The diamond core size was NQ apart from up to 3m of HQ core which was drilled immediately after the changeover from RC to diamond coring. The diamond core was oriented using a core orientation device.

Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample
bias may have occurred due
to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
Sample recovery was estimated for all samples. RC recoveries were estimated
by measuring the volume of material in each bag relative to the known volume of
the drill hole. Core samples were measured from core block to core block once
core had been placed in the core trays.
Sample recovery was maximised in the RC drilling by use of a face sampling
hammer and by converting to diamond coring when it was no longer possible to
drill dry samples.
A petrological study of the mineralisation and the absence of any high-grade
gold value above 32.9g/t Au in the altered mineralised granite throughout the
database both point to the gold grainsize typically being below 50 microns which
would also mitigate against sampling not being representative.
Logging Whether core and chip
samples have been
geologically and geotechnical
logged to a level of detail to

Detailed geological logging has been carried out on all drill samples, recording
lithology, weathering, structure, (including orientation where the core is oriented),
veining and/or mineralisation, grainsize and colour. Logging of sulphide
mineralization and veining is quantitative. RQDs are recorded routinely.
Photography of the cut core is not yet complete but will be carried out during the
field season. No judgement has yet been made by independent qualified
consultants on whether the geological and geotechnical logging has been
sufficient to support Mineral Resource estimation, mining and metallurgical
studies.
A geological map of the trenches reported have either been prepared or are in
the process of preparation.
BLEG stream sediment location descriptions are all recorded along with any
outcrop or float geology at the sample site.

Core samples were cut in half longitudinally with a diamond core saw with one half
submitted for assay and the remaining half retained in core trays which are stored
at PDI's field camp in Gayeri. Core sampling intervals were defined by variations
in lithology and mineralogy but are typically 0.5-1.0m. An on-site riffle splitter was
employed to produce a 2kg assay sample for submission to SGS. Either one or
two reference riffle-split 2kg samples are retained from the RC samples for future
re-assay or metallurgical testwork. The sampling (and analytical) methods were
appropriate for the style of mineralisation, especially as no visible gold has been
observed and previous petrological studies indicate that the typical gold grain size
is less than 50 microns.
Trench channel samples were submitted in their entirety to the analytical lab,
where they were dried, crushed and riffle split to produce representative samples.
BLEG stream sediment samples consist of silt and clay material which is extracted
from the other stream sediment material by decanting the fine grained material in
suspension and then settling it out of suspension using a flocculant.

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

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 drill and trench samples were assayed for gold by 50g fire assay at the SGS
laboratory in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The technique is considered a total
analysis. Check screen fire assays were employed on selected, higher grade
trench samples where coarse gold was suspected.
BLEG stream sediment samples were assayed at the former Ultra Trace (now
Bureau Veritas) laboratory in Perth.
No geophysical tools, spectrometers or handheld XRF instruments have yet
been employed although XRF scanning of some of the core using a hand held
XRF instrument is planned.
Unlabelled standards were submitted with all drill and trench assay batches,
generally at the rate of one standard every 15thsample, whether from RC or
diamond drilling. Blanks were also submitted with RC sample batches. Where
any problems with bias or accuracy, especially outside of a +/- 10% envelope is
observed, samples are re-assayed. External laboratory checks are planned but
have not yet been carried out.
Field duplicates were submitted with the BLEG samples.

procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing
has been applied
The drill intercepts in the main Bongou mineralised zone are irregularly
spaced but approximately 40 x 40m. No judgement has yet been made by
an independent qualified consultant on whether the drill density is
sufficient to calculate a Mineral Resource.
RC holes in prospects near Bongou have only been tested by one or two
RC or RC/DD holes each.
Sample compositing was applied only to samples thought to be un-
mineralised. Sample composites were mostly 8m.
The BLEG sampling was designed to test catchment areas averaging
approximately 5 km2.
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.
All drill holes and trenches reported here were drilled approximately at right
angles to the strike of the target mineralization. The mineralisation appears to be
a disseminated type with no evidence yet identified for ore distribution being in
any orientation other than parallel to strike of the mineralised body.

Sample Security The measures taken to ensure
sample security
The large RC sample bags are stored at a sample farm on PDI’s
exploration permits. These are guarded at all times by local individuals
hired for this purpose. 2kg reference samples are stored at the company’s
field camp in the town of Gayeri, which is guarded 24 hours per day. Pulp
samples are retained at company premises in Ouagadougou which are
also guarded 24 hours per day.
Reference BLEG samples from Cote D’Ivoire are stored at PDI’s sample
store in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso.

The security of the tenure held
at the time of reporting along
with any known impediments
to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.
The Bongou Prospect lies entirely within the Madyabari Permit (Arrêté
N°2011 /11/352/MCE/SG/DGMGC) which covers an area of 172 sq km.
There are no overriding reserves or national parks over this permit. In a
future mining operation, the Government of Burkina Faso is entitled to a
10% share of any mine along with a 3-5% ad valorem royalty, the
percentage of which is determined by the gold price prevailing at the time.
The company believes that (a) the permit is securely held as it has complied
with all the necessary government requirements and (b) the permit can be
replaced in due course by a mining licence as long as a feasibility study
shows that a future mine would be viable and that company completes
meets the Government’s legal requirements, which it fully intends to do.
The Madyabari permit was initially acquired, along with three other nearby
permits (Sirba, Fouli and Tantiabongou), by Birrimian Pty Ltd (Birrimian),
which is a British Virgin Islands-registered company now 100% owned by
PDI. The original owners of Birrimian subsequently entered into an
agreement with Eldore Mining Corporation Limited (Eldore) through which
Eldore could acquire the Birrimian permits through a series of payments and
a commitment to issue US$2 million worth of Eldore stock on completion of
a Bankable Feasibility Study on one or more ore deposits within the
Birrimian permits.
PDI initially acquired an interest in Madyabari along with the three other
Birrimian permits via a joint venture with Eldore which commenced in
January 2010. In 2012, Eldore changed its name to Stratos Resources
Limited (ASX: SAT) after which PDI bought out SAT’s residual interest (in
late 2012). In acquiring Birrimian, PDI also inherited the one unfulfilled
commitment in the original Eldore agreement with the original Birrimian
shareholders. This commitment has now been agreed to mean that PDI will
issue US$2 million worth of PDI shares after PDI accepts an offer of finance
for development of a mine on the Birrimian permits at its sole discretion)
following completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study.
The Ferkessedougou exploration permit was granted in 2013 is owned
100% by PDI.
Exploration Done
by Other Parties
Acknowledgment and
appraisal of exploration
by other parties.
Past exploration over the Bongou prospect consisted of wide spaced soil
sampling and an aeromagnetic survey. Previous explorers did not recognise
the significance of the Bongou mineralisation, which appears to have been
discovered byartisanal miners.
Geology Deposit type, geological
setting and style of
mineralisation.
Mineralisation in the main Bongou deposit and the nearby Bongou W2
prospect consists of an intensely altered (silica-albite) and quartz veined
granite body which lies sandwiched between a sheared gabbro on the
mineralisation’s northern margin and a basalt body (partly sheared) on its
southern margin. The gabbro and basalt contacts are approximately
parallel to one another. Pyrite is disseminated throughout the
mineralisation with higher gold grades apparently associated with coarse
grained pyrite. The quartz veins contain some carbonate and the
mineralisation contains minor magnetite and some sericite in fractures.
The main Bongou mineralised zone lies within a large structure which is
approximately 43km long within three contiguous permits owned 100% by
the company (Madyabari, Bassieri and Tamfoagou). The mineralisation is
interpreted as a variant of the orogenic gold mineralisation style, which is
known throughout the Birimian Belt of West Africa.
Mineralisation in the Bongou W1 and Bongou E1 prospects is hosted in
sheared gabbro.
The geology of the Ferkessedougou permit consists of granite,
metasediments, mafic volcanics and conglomerates.
Drill Hole A summary of all information Intercepts that form the basis of this announcement are tabulated in Table 1
within the bodyof the announcement and incorporate Hole Number,Easting,

==> picture [596 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

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 why this is the
case.
Northing, Dip, Azimuth, Depth and Assay data for mineralised intervals. An
appropriate locality map also accompanies this announcement.
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 clearly stated.
Over 95% of the gold mineralised material (with grades exceeding 0.5g/t Au)
was sampled in intervals of one meter or less. No top cuts have been applied to
exploration results as the maximum value in the entire assay database is 32.9g/t
Au and only 4 samples contain more than 20g/t Au.
For the 0.5g/t Au cut-off calculations, up to 3m (down-hole) of internal waste is
included. For the 3g/t Au cut-off calculations, up to 2m (down-hole) of internal
waste is included. For the “total intercept” average grade recorded for hole
BNGRD014 in the Comments column, the average grade is calculated with a cut-
off grade of 0.5 g/t Au and up to 13.7m of internal waste (down-hole).
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 all intercepts based on the
assumption that the gold mineralisation is oriented parallel to the hanging
wall and foot wall contacts.
True widths in the RC holes are less reliably estimated because of the lack
of oriented core and paucity of outcrop in the vicinity.
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 and long section for the Bongou Prospect has
been included in the text of this document.
Balanced Reporting Where comprehensive
reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of
All intercepts containing average gold grades exceeding 2g-m (e.g. 1 g/t
Au over a down-hole width of 2m) are reported. Values for the lower
grade intercept in hole BNGRC017 are also recorded. Holes in which no
significant result has been obtained are also routinely reported by PDI.

both low and high grades
and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration
Results.
All BLEGF stream sediment results have been reported.
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.
Preliminary metallurgical test work has been completed on one composite
sample of RC chips and reported previously (ASX release entitled “Excellent
Gold Recoveries from Metallurgical Test Work” on 14thMay 2013); a gold
recovery of 94% was recovered by CIL testwork using a standard 75 micron
grind. Additional metallurgical testwork is planned in 2014.
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 drilling is planned to test for more Bongou-style mineralised bodies.
The first phase of that drilling will be carried out with a power auger rig,
followed by trenching and then by RC drilling.
