INTRODUCTION
Predictive Discovery’s (PDI) principal focus is in the countries of Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso in West Africa.
In Cote D’Ivoire, the Company has interests in six granted exploration permits and two permit applications, totalling 3,133km[2] (Figure 1), which are being actively explored under the terms of a joint venture with Toro Gold Limited. PDI is also conducting exploration under an agreement on the Bobosso Project, which covers a further 1,200km[2] (Figure 1).
In Burkina Faso, the Company has an effective Burkina-based team and a large regional tenement package in the north-east of the country covering 1,222km[2] (Figure 9). PDI’s exploration focus is on the high-grade Bongou gold discovery and the surrounding area. A formal Mineral Resource Estimate on Bongou resulted in 184,000oz of gold in the Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resource categories with an average grade of 2.6g/t Au, including 136,000oz at 3.8g/t Au (ASX release dated 4 September, 2014).
PDI also holds an Exploration Licence in Victoria (Figure 10) which was drilled in the December and March Quarters by joint venture partner, Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd.
Predictive’s current strategy is to maintain a high level of exploration activity on all of its projects through project-level funding – either via joint ventures or direct cash investments into private companies which hold the Company’s ground. The Toro and Cape Clear Joint Ventures are operating well and generating significant newsflow. The Company’s focus in 2016 is to obtain project-level funding on the Bonsiega Project in Burkina Faso and the Bobosso Project in Cote D’Ivoire.
PROJECTS
CÔTE D’IVOIRE
CÔTE D’IVOIRE BACKGROUND
Predictive has been increasingly focused on Cote D’Ivoire in recent years. The country covers over a third of the highly prospective Birimian gold belt, more than any other country in West Africa. Cote D’Ivoire is highly underexplored for gold because the exploration investment boom in the last decade largely bypassed the country because of political instability. Since the accession of President Alassane Ouattara in 2011 and his comfortable re-election last year, and with investment certainty provided by an updated Mining Act and a forward-looking Mines Administration, Cote D’Ivoire has become a highly attractive exploration investment destination.
Predictive is in joint venture with Toro Gold Limited ( Toro ), a UK-based company, on six granted permits and two permit applications in Cote D’Ivoire and with XMI SARL, an Ivoirian company, on two additional permits and one permit application covering the Bobosso Project (Figure 1). The

TORO GOLD JV
Boundiali Exploration Permit
The Boundiali permit is located within a very well mineralised greenstone belt which contains the large operating Tongon and Syama gold mines in Cote D’Ivoire and Mali respectively (Figure 1). The
3
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
southern part of this belt has had little exploration to date and represents a first class opportunity to make new large gold discoveries.
Predictive was granted the Boundiali permit in January 2014. The Company’s first exploration program on the permit was a BLEG stream sediment survey (ASX release dated 4/8/14) which discovered a series of strong stream sediment anomalies, the best of which, a 24ppb Au anomaly, lies downstream of the new gold mineralised zone discovered in the recent drilling.
Boundiali Drilling Program (Nyangboue Prospect)
The RC drilling program on the Boundiali permit consisted of 92 RC holes totalling 5,496m. The program was designed to test a 2km long zone of strong and coherent gold-in-soil anomalies (Figure 2). These lie at the southern end of the Nyangboue Prospect, a 6km long gold-in-soil anomaly (Figure 5) first reported to the ASX on 20/10/15.

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
The RC holes were drilled:
-
on eight east-west oriented lines, of which six are spaced 320m apart. The northernmost and southernmost lines are 160m from their neighbours (Figure 2). Hole collars are approximately 40m apart,
-
mostly to depths of 50-60m, with the exceptions of holes BRC003-007 which were extended or re-drilled to between 117m and 130m depth,
-
towards the west and angled at 50 degrees.
Additional details of the drill and assay methodologies employed in this program are reported in Table 1.
Results from twenty three drill holes have been reported so far, all of which were drilled on two cross-sections. Assay highlights (reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade) are as follows:
| Hole No. | Depth from(m) |

Figure 4: Cross-section through the next cross-section to the north including all of the new RC drill holes reported in this release.
Initial observations from logging these drill holes and mapping the limited rock exposures at surface are as follows:
-
The mineralised zone appears to lie within a large and complex ductile shear zone containing:
-
Quartz-sericite schists which are interpreted to be derived from volcanosedimentary rocks,
-
granitic intrusives,
-
sediments,
-
felsic volcanics with quartz phenocrysts,
-
possible mylonites (extremely strongly sheared rocks) and
-
possible mafic volcanics.
-
Sparse rock outcrops indicate that shearing dips steeply to the east, which is why holes were drilled towards the west.
-
Gold values are generally associated with zones of quartz veining (1-2cm veinlets - both smoky grey quartz and white quartz.
6
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
-
Visible gold has been panned from some of the RC drill chips and fines. Follow-up screen fire assays on intervals with high gold grades and/or visible gold are therefore planned.
-
The dip and dip direction of the mineralisation is not yet understood. Holes BNRC003-007 have now been extended/re-drilled to help address this question.
-
The sheared rock sequence contains minor sulphides, including pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite.

Results in grade intervals are shown for all of Toro soil results to date. The large Nyangboue Prospect gold anomaly and two other coherent gold anomalies are highlighted on this map. Rock chip sample locations are shown as small black triangles.
Kokoumbo Exploration Permit
Predictive CI is earning a 90% interest in the Kokumbo exploration permit in southern Cote D’Ivoire from an Ivoirian company, Ivoir Negoce. The Kokumbo permit covers an area of historic artisanal and French colonial era mining located in a highly prospective belt of rocks which also includes the Bonikro gold mine, currently in production by Newcrest, and Agbaou gold mine, where Endeavour Mining commenced commercial production in January 2014 (Figure 1).

Kokoumbo Diamond Drilling Program
15 diamond drill holes totalling 1,610m were completed in April 2016. The diamond drilling program tested three prospects: Kokoumbo Hill (in a new zone of mineralisation identified in chip-channel sampling in late 2015), Sereme and Blonzwe (Figure 6).
==> picture [424 x 293] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 6: Location of Kokoumbo diamond drilling, superimposed on a colour gridded image of gold in soil geochemistry (ASX release dated 15/9/15). The Kokoumbo Hill sites are in the centre of a large area of gold in soil anomalies and substantial historical and recent artisanal mine workings.
The drill core was cut at Toro’s camp in Yamoussoukro prior to sample preparation in Senegal. Samples were submitted for assay at the ALS laboratory at Loughrea in Ireland.
Toro’s geological interpretation was that the target zones dipped shallowly to the east, so drill holes were drilled towards the west.
The majority of the holes drilled contained some gold mineralisation, including the following (at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off):
Kokoumbo Hill Prospect:
-
KOD001: 7.5m at 16.0g/t Au from 0m, including 1.5m at 74g/t Au from 6.0m
-
KOD002: 7.5m at 1.6g/t Au from 0m
-
KOD003: 4.5m at 3.4g/t Au from 0m
-
KOD005: 7.5m at 1.5g/t Au from 12m, including 1.5m at 8.9g/t Au
8
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
- KOD010: 1.5m at 14.9g/t Au from 87m
Sereme Prospect:
-
KOD014: 3.0m at 1.9g/t Au from 39m
-
KOD015: 1.5m at 4.1/t Au from 1.5m
-
KOD015: 1.5m at 4.6/t Au from 18.7m
Complete drill assay results are provided in Table 2.
The Kokoumbo Hill drilling (Figure 7) has identified near surface gold mineralisation both in chipchannel sampling and RC drilling, some of which is high grade (e.g. the KOD001 intercept). While some gold values were obtained in colluvial material, most are from weathered or fresh bedrock including the highest grade values to date. The earlier chip-channel sampling program (ASX release dated 10/11/15) indicated an association between encouraging gold values and a microdiorite containing rare quartz phenocrysts. Such rocks tend to contain lower titanium values than the surrounding basalts. A combination of core logging and titanium measurements (using a portable XRF machine) shows that such an association is also present in some of the drill intercepts, most definitively in the KOD001 and KOD005 intercepts. XRF measurement of the core is currently ongoing and may add to this geological interpretation in the weeks ahead.
Gold mineralisation is also found in zones containing quartz-carbonate veining in fresh basalt, generally with minor sulphides.
The principal gold mineralised zone identified from the drilling (holes KOD001-005) is open to the east and the south, the best results obtained to date being on the southernmost drill line.

Ferkessedougou and Kounahiri Exploration Permits
No active work conducted in these project areas during the Quarter.
GIV Agreement Projects
Soil geochemical programs were in progress on the Beriaboukro permit during the Quarter. A total of 2,423 soil samples had been collected by 25[th] July.
September Quarter Work Program
The pace of work will slow during the September Quarter owing to the rainy season. Soil sampling will be conducted on the Ferkessedougou North and Beriaboukro permits and geological mapping will be completed on Ferkessedougou South.
The remaining results from the Boundiali RC drill program will also be reported in the September Quarter.

BOBOSSO PROJECT, COTE D’IVOIRE
The Bobosso Project consists of two granted exploration permits, Bassawa and Wendene in northern Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 1), which are held by an Ivoirian company, XMI SARl ( XMI ). Bassawa and Wendene are located in the southern extension of the well mineralised Hounde Belt in Burkina Faso, which includes Semafo’s Mana Mine (5 Moz in ore resources and reserves[1] ).
Historical soil sampling by Equigold (ASX release 28/10/15) obtained many anomalous results over the Bassawa permit and Wendene permit applications. Of particular note is a 7km[2] area in Wendene in which most of the values are above 100ppb Au (Figure 8). This area contains 729 soil samples with an average arithmetic value of 394ppb Au (0.39g/t Au) and peak values of 39.8g/t Au, 20.2g/t Au and 6.89g/t Au. There are numerous plus 100ppb Au anomalous values outside of this area, many of which are untested by any drilling.
569 RC holes and 11 diamond drill holes were completed in the area of the 7km[2] anomaly (Figure 8). Of these, 221 holes contained at least one 2gxm intercept[2] at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au. Most of these intercepts were at shallow depths. The average (vertical) depth tested by drilling was approximately 80m.
There is a significant discovery opportunity for PDI at the Bobosso Project because of both the large gold mineralised system that is evidently present at Bobosso itself and the extensive regional potential along strike.

XMI Agreement
Predictive has entered into an agreement with XMI on the Wendene and Bassawa permits whereby it can provide funding or arrange for third parties to invest in the Bobosso Project. Details of the agreement were released to the ASX on 28/10/15.
At present, PDI is investing its own funds into a series of relatively low cost work programs (see next section) through which it will obtain an equity of approximately 35% into XMI’s parent company (Exploration and Mining Investments Limited of the UK). The purpose of these programs is to add value to the project as a whole prior to seeking external investment. Under its agreement with XMI, PDI has the option to seek such investment via Predictive itself or at the project level from a third party.
June Quarter Work Program
The June Quarter work program commenced in February 2016 and consisted of:
-
an initial assessment both of the near surface alluvial/colluvial potential at Bobosso (in progress),
-
clarifying the geological interpretation of some key sections through the Bobosso gold mineralisation by re-logging drill holes and surface mapping,
12
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
- undertaking a regional targeting exercise to identify gold mineralisation potential along strike from the Bobosso prospect both in the Wendene and Bassawa exploration permits.
Metallurgical Testwork
The Company undertook a 30 hole pitting program during the Quarter to obtain material for gravity metallurgical testwork. The latter is currently in progress and results of that program will be reported when the metallurgical testwork results are received.
In the event that a high percentage of the gold in the shallow material can be recovered by simple gravity treatment, the Company will consider a much larger pitting program with the aim of identifying a shallow resource that could profitably support a colluvial gold mining operation producing at least 10,000oz per annum for some years. This could possibly represent the first stage in a larger mining operation which would also mine the underlying primary gold mineralisation.
Re-Logging of Drill Holes
Predictive re-logged some key mineralised drill intercepts in March and April 2016.
The logging indicated that there is good hole-to-hole continuity of gold anomalous alteration, at least in the holes which have been re-logged, an important requirement for making JORC-compliant resource estimates. Re-processing of magnetic and radiometric data, however, suggests that the overall trend of mineralisation may be near parallel to the historical drill section lines. It appears that the historical drilling has cut very obliquely through gold mineralised horizons or structures, opening up the possibility of discovering long strike lengths of gold mineralisation between the drilled cross-sections.
Compilation of the new drill data together with the results of geological mapping undertaken during the June Quarter will enable Predictive to plan a well-directed RC or diamond drill program to test the new geological model of the mineralised system later in 2016.
Regional Targeting Assessment
Reports documenting numerous targets in the granted Wendene and Bassawa permits were completed during the Quarter. Some of these targets will be followed up in the December Quarter after the rainy season ends.
New Permit Application
Application was made for the Dabakala permit (Figure 1) during the Quarter. Assuming the eventual grant of this permit application, the XMI joint venture ground will then expand to cover approximately 1,200 km[2] in area and approximately 90km of strike.
13
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
BURKINA FASO
The Company’s tenement holding covers 1,222km[2] including approximately 100km of strike length in the Samira Hill greenstone belt in eastern Burkina Faso (the Bonsiega permit group, Figure 9). 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. PDI owns 100%, or has the rights to earn 95% to 100% of all its permits in Burkina Faso.
PDI has discovered gold mineralisation on multiple prospects in Eastern Burkina Faso during the past four years including the Bongou gold deposit. A formal Mineral Resource Estimate on Bongou resulted in 184,000oz of gold in the Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resource categories with an average grade of 2.6g/t Au, including 136,000oz at 3.8g/t Au (ASX release dated 4 September, 2014).
==> picture [438 x 279] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 9: Locality map of PDI permits in eastern Burkina Faso, showing location of Bongou and other key prospects.
No work was carried out in Burkina Faso during the June Quarter apart from field visits to the project areas with potential joint venture partners. Costs are being restricted to the maximum extent possible.
The Company conducted is currently engaged in preliminary discussions about a possible joint venture on the Bonsiega Project.

AUSTRALIA
CAPE CLEAR JOINT VENTURE (EL5434)
Introduction
Exploration Licence 5434 is located west of Ballarat in Victoria (Figure 10). It was granted to PDI in July 2013. The area is highly prospective for shallowly concealed Stawell-style gold mineralisation. PDI previously carried out geological mapping and a gravity survey over part of the EL area.
Execution of a binding farm-in agreement with Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd (CCM) on this EL was announced to the ASX on 22[nd] September 2014. Under that agreement, CCM could earn 75% equity in the licence by spending $500,000 on exploration, including at least 1,000m of drilling. CCM has complied with those conditions and has therefore achieved a 75% equity in the project.

Figure 10: Cape Clear Exploration Licence Locality Plan
Geology Background
Exploration on EL5434 is targeted at discovery of Stawell-style and/or Ballarat-style gold mineralisation on the margins of a concealed Cambrian basalt ridge located on the west side of the major north-south striking Avoca Fault. The Stawell gold deposit is located in a comparable
15
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
geological position on the western side of a basalt ridge, which is, in turn, west of the major Coongee Fault.
Drill program results
CCM carried out a diamond drilling program in the December and March Quarters, totalling 7 holes and 2,147m (Figure 11). Results were received for outstanding holes CCD006 and CCD007 during the Quarter (Table 3). CCD006 produced no significant result, with the best intercepts for CCD007 being:
-
1.7m @ 1.98g/t Au from 143.1m
-
4.4m @ 1.64g/t Au from 275.6m

| 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 detailedinformation. |
All of the sampling described in Table 1 refers to RC drill holes. A representative subsample of the RC drill chips was obtained using an on- rig riffle splitter. A second reference sample was obtained using a spear. The assayed drill samples are judged to be representative of the rock being drilled because representative sub-sampling of the RC drill samples was achieved. |
| Drilling | Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so,bywhat method,etc). |
The drilling was largely carried out by reverse circulation with a face sampling hammer. The holes were collared using a blade bit, which was used to refusal (towards base of saprolite/saprock). |

| Drill Sample Recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. 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. |
RC recovery was assessed by weighing the sample bags and calculating recoveries using an estimate of rock density. The Toro site geologists report that recoveries are consistently good. |
|---|---|---|
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnical logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean/Trench, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Logging of RC holes records lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation, alteration, structure, weathering and other features of the samples. Logging of sulphide mineralization and veining is quantitative. All holes were logged in full. 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. |
| 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 RC samples submitted for assay were all sub-sampled by an on-rig 3- tier/multi stage riffle splitter (producing a 1/8thsplit). The sampled material is considered to be representative of the samples as a whole. |

| 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 reported in this release were assayed for gold by 50g fire assay at the ALS laboratory in Loughrea. High grade samples were checked at the laboratory by gravimetric means. At the lab, regular assay repeats, lab standards, checks and blanks were inserted and analysed. Unlabelled standards (Certified Reference Materials), blanks and duplicate samples were also inserted by Toro personnel on site at Boundiali. Samples are prepared at Toro’s sample preparation laboratory at Mako in Senegal. |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
One hole has been twinned (BRC004) but the results of the repeat hole are not yet available. Field data collection was undertaken by Toro Gold geologists and supervised by Toro Gold management. |
| Location of Data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveysused tolocate drill holes (collar and down- hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used Quality and adequacy of topographic control |
Collar positions were located using a hand held GPS with a location error of +/- 3m. Collar coordinates listed in the table are for the WGS84 datum, Zone 29 North. The collar RL of BRC004 was adjusted downwards by approximately 6m on the cross-section only (i.e. not in Table 1 above) based on a GPS reading on the BRC004 re-drill collar RL and the fact that the section line in this area is, by observation, flat. |
| 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 beenapplied |
The holes reported here were drilled on one line with hole collars approximately 40m apart. No judgement has yet been made by an independent qualified consultant on whether the drill density is sufficient to calculate a Mineral Resource. The samples were not composited. |
| Orientation of Data in Relation to Geological Structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
All drill holes reported here were drilled approximately at right angles to the anticipated strike of the target geochemical anomaly (Figure 2). |

| Sample Security | The measures taken to ensure sample security |
The drill samples are currently stored securely at Toro Gold’s compound in the town of Boundiali. |

| Audits or Reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data |
No audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data have been carried out given the reconnaissance nature of this drill program. |

| Mineral Tenement and Land Tenure Status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third partiessuch asjoint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The Boundiali exploration permit was granted to PDI Cote D’Ivoire SARL in January 2014.Toro Gold Limited may earn a 51% interest in PDI Cote D’Ivoire SARL by spending US$1 million. |
| Exploration Done by Other Parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
PDI is not aware of any effective gold exploration over the Boundiali permit prior to PDI’s initial work, however historic records are incomplete at the Cote D’Ivoire governmentgeologicalagency. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The geology of the Boundiali permit consists of granite, metasediments, mafic volcanics and intrusives, and conglomerates. |
| Drill Hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth • hole length • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
All of the required data is provided in Table 1 (above). |
| Data Aggregation Methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
All RC samples were collected and assayed in 1m intervals. No top cuts have been applied to the drill results. Up to 3m (down-hole) of internal waste is included. Mineralised intervals are reported on a weighted average basis. |

| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
||
|---|---|---|
| Relationship Between Mineralisation Widths and Intercept Lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
True widths have not been estimated as the geological controls on mineralisation in these initial drill holes into the prospect are not yet well understood. The holes were drilled from east to west to test a steeply east dipping foliation in the limited rock exposures seen in the area. The mineralisation lies within what Toro interprets to be a ductile shear zone which would suggest that mineralisation should lie parallel to foliation. Nevertheless, the gold intercepts are actually suggestive of a west-dipping mineralised envelop. The most mineralised holes have been extended; assays of the deepened holes should provide some additional information on this question along with careful re-logging and XRF readings on the RC chip samples in the coming months. True widths may only be understood properly after a diamond drilling program is carried out, possibly later in 2016. |
| 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 cross section showing the location of the drill holes are included in the text of this document. |
| Balanced Reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All intercepts containing grades above 0.5g/t Au and at least 1g/t x m with a maximum thickness of internal waste of 3.0m are reported in this release. |
| Other Substantive Exploration Data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
All relevant exploration data is either reported in this release or has been reported previously and is referred to in the release. |
| Further Work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or large scale step out drilling. Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commerciallysensitive. |
The drill program is ongoing and most of the results have not yet been received. Further work will be considered once the results of this drilling program come to hand. A follow-u p drill program later in 2016 is likely. |

Extensive historical exploration has been carried out on the Kokumbo permit and was acknowledged and described in PDI’s release to the ASX dated 10/6/14. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The geology of Kokoumbo consists of granite, metasediments, mafic volcanics and intrusives, and conglomerates. Quartz-vein hosted mineralisation observed at Kokoumbo is considered to be of the orogenic gold type. |
| Drill Hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth • hole length • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
All of the required data is provided in Table 2 (above). |
| Data Aggregation Methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such |
All core was sampled in 1.5m intervals. No top cuts have been applied to the drill results. Up to 3m (down-hole) of internal waste is included. Mineralised intervals are reported on a weighted average basis. |

| 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. |
||
|---|---|---|
| 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 are estimated for the shallow mineralised intervals. |
| 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 cross section is included in the text of this document. |
| Balanced Reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All intercepts containing grades above 0.5g/t Au are reported in this release. |
| Other Substantive Exploration Data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
All relevant exploration data is either reported in this release or has been reported previously and is referred to in the release. |
| Further Work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or large scale step out drilling. Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commerciallysensitive. |

| 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 detailedinformation. |
All of the sampling described in Table 3 refers to diamond drill core. Diamond drill core for the reported holes were logged geologically and marked up for assay at approximate one metre intervals determined by geological boundaries. Drill core is consistently cut in half to the right side of the structural orientation line and submitted for assay analysis. The remaining half is retained in the core trays. The drill samples are judged to be representative of the rock being drilled because representative sub-sampling of both the core was achieved. |
| Drilling | Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so,bywhat method,etc). |
DD: Diamond drilling produced PQ3, HQ3 and NQ3 sized drill core. Triple tube drilling was the selected to maximise core recovery particularly for the oxidised and mineralised zones. The drill core was orientated utilising an Isilex orientation device which was double-checked with an orientation spear for every run. |

| Drill Sample Recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. 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. |
DD: Drillers measured core recoveries for every drill run completed using 3 metre and 6 metre core barrels. The drillcore is physically measured by tape measure and the length recorded for every 3 metre “run”. Core recovery calculated as a percentage were generally greater than 90%. No significant loss of material was reported in the zones of economic interest. Diamond drilling collects uncontaminated fresh core samples which are further cleaned at the drill site and presented cleanly to the client for logging and sampling. |
|---|---|---|
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnical logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean/Trench, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Logging of DD records lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation, alteration, structure, weathering, colour and other features of the samples. Logging of sulphide mineralization and veining is quantitative. All holes were logged in full. All drill core is photographed both wet and dry in the core trays. 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. |
| 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 core was cut in half longitudinally using a Clipper brick saw Half core samples were collected for assay, and the remaining half core samples stored in the core trays. Core samples were collected on nominal one metre intervals (no intervals greater than 1.5 metres) to create 2-3kg samples for submission. 50g fire assay results suggest the presence of “nuggetty” gold. Initial screen fire assays on the original 1kg pulverised sample confirm the presence of nuggetty gold. Re-assaying of initial fire assays above a nominal 0.2g/t cut-off is routinely completed and will be continually evaluated as the drilling progresses. Outside of the “nuggetty” zones the sampled material is considered to be representative of the core as a whole. |

| 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 for gold by 50g fire assay with an AAS finish by ALS in Adelaide/Perth. The technique is considered a total analysis. A further 11 elements were tested for utilising the ME-ICP method. At the lab, regular assay Repeats, Lab standards, Checks and Blanks were inserted and analysed by ALS Laboratories. Unlabelled standards (Certified Reference Materials) were inserted at a rate of 3 standards per 100 samples. |

| 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 |
No holes have yet been twinned. Field data collection was undertaken by CCM geologists and supervised by CCM management. |
| Location of Data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveysused tolocate drill holes (collar and down- hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used Quality and adequacy of topographic control |
Collar positions were located using a hand held GPS with a location error of +/- 3m. Collar coordinates listed in the table are for the Map Grid of Australia 1994, Zone 54. |
| 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 beenapplied |
The drill intercepts are irregularly spaced. No judgement has yet been made by an independent qualified consultant on whether the drill density is sufficient to calculate a Mineral Resource. Diamond drill samples were not composited but air core samples were variably composited from single samples to up to 4m long composites. |
| 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 reported here were drilled approximately at right angles to the anticipated strike of the target quartz veined zone. The individual quartz veins which carry gold appear to have several orientations so it is impossible to target all mineralisation optimally. |

| Mineral Tenement and Land Tenure Status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third partiessuch asjoint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The locations reported here lie within the Cape Clear Exploration Licence (EL 5434) which is held jointly by Predictive Discovery Limited and Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd. CCM has earned a beneficial ownership of 75% of EL5434 n. The EL is subject to a farm-in agreement that was signed between PDI and CCM in September 2014 and under which CCM could earn 75% of the EL by exploration expenditure of A$500,000. The EL is securely held as substantially more than the minimum exploration expenditure commitment has been spent. |
| Exploration Done by Other Parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Past exploration over the EL was mainly conducted by Leviathan Resources Limited prior to 2007. Leviathan’s drilling demonstrated anomalous gold and arsenic values along both the eastern and western contacts of the north-south Cambrianbasalt ridge shown in Figure10). |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
Gold mineralisation is found in quartz veined zones near the contact with a north-south orientated Cambrian basalt ridge, commonly at or near the contact between black shales and sandstones. The mineralisation is interpreted as a variant of the orogenic gold mineralisationstyle,which isknown incentralandwestern Victoria. |
| Drill Hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth • hole length • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
Intercepts that form the basis of this announcement are tabulated in Table 3 within the body of the announcement and incorporate Hole Number, Easting, Northing, Dip, Azimuth, Depth and Assay data for mineralised intervals. An appropriate locality map accompanies this announcement. |
| Data Aggregation Methods |

| Balanced Reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All intercepts containing average gold grades exceeding 1g-m (e.g. 1 g/t Au over a down-hole width of 1m) are reported. Holes in which no significant result were obtained are also routinely reported by PDI. |
| 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. |
