INTRODUCTION
PDI’s major focus is in the countries of Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire in West Africa.
In Cote D’Ivoire, the Company holds four granted exploration permits in Cote D’Ivoire totalling 1,533km[2] (Figure 1) which is being actively explored under the terms of a joint venture with Toro Gold Limited. PDI has also recently signed an agreement on the Bobosso Project, which covers a further 1,199km[2] (Figure 1).
In Burkina Faso, the Company has established an effective Burkina-based team and a large regional tenement package in the north-east of the country (Figure 13). 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 14) which is currently being drilled 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 already operating very well and generating significant newsflow. The Company’s immediate 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
Cote D’Ivoire Background
PDI has interests in seven highly prospective exploration permits in Cote D’Ivoire covering a total area of 2,732 km[2] . The ground is divided into two packages each of which is subject to an agreement – a Joint Venture agreement with Toro Gold Limited ( Toro ), a UK-based company, covering four permits and an agreement with XMI SARL ( XMI ) covering three permits (Figure 1).
Under the terms of the Toro Joint Venture agreement, Toro can earn a 51% interest in Predictive Discovery Cote D’Ivoire SARL (Predictive CI), which holds Predictive’s interest in the four permits, by spending US$1 million on exploration and option payments. Once Toro has achieved its 51% interest, PDI may contribute 49% of expenditure from then on or dilute. If PDI decides to dilute, Toro can earn a further 14% in Predictive CI by spending an additional US$2.5 million on exploration of the ground, leaving PDI with a 35% holding.

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
PDI’s agreement with XMI, which was signed in the December Quarter, allows Predictive to provide and/or arrange financing and exploration management on the XMI permits, with a particular focus on the Wendene and Bassawa permits (Figure 1).
Predictive’s past exploration on the four Toro JV permits included geological mapping, ground magnetics surveying and bulk leach extractable gold (BLEG) stream sediment sampling. The Company will commence work on the XMI Agreement permits in the next quarter.

Toro JV
Kokoumbo 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).
Chip-Channel Sampling Results (Table 1)
Toro Gold completed 675m of chip-channel sampling in August 2015 across 17 strongly weathered rock (saprolite) exposures. Of these, 16 exposures were in artisanal mine workings and the 17[th] (KOKT001) was a road cut. They were completed at three locations (Figure 2):
-
Kokoumbo Hill, the largest site of historical gold workings (4 sites – see Figure 3),
-
The Sereme Prospect (12 sites)
-
Near the town of Kokoumbo (one site only, number KOKT001)
The chip-channel samples were assayed for gold by ALS in Loughrea in Ireland.

Results of the chip-channel sampling (Table 1) included:
-
Kokoumbo KOCH001: 44m at 3.77g/t Au, including 2m at 25.7g/t Au;
-
Kokoumbo KOCH003: 26m at 2.86g/t Au;
-
Kokoumbo KOCH004: 16m at 0.75g/t Au;
-
Sereme SSCH004: 6m at 2.48g/t Au ;
-
Sereme SSCH005: 8m at 1.05g/t Au;
-
Sereme SSCH007: 4m at 1.25g/t Au;
-
Sereme SSCH009: 2m at 3.40g/t Au;
-
Sereme SSCH010: 7m at 1.97g/t Au.
Toro Gold advises that all of the samples were derived from heavily weathered saprolitic material. While the geological interpretation is not clear, the mineralisation may be in shallowly dipping shear zones, and therefore the recorded intersections may not be true widths. Further geological analysis, possibly supplemented by drilling, is required before the orientation of the mineralised zones obtained in this chip-channel sampling program is properly understood.

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. The southern part of this belt has had little exploration to date and represents a first class opportunity to make new large gold discoveries.
PDI identified several, strong stream sediment geochemical anomalies using the BLEG (bulk leach extractable gold) method on the Boundiali permit in 2014 (ASX release dated 4/8/14). Toro Gold’s subsequent soils sampling identified gold anomalous values in several locations including a 5.6km long anomaly (ASX release dated 20/10/15).
Toro Soil Survey – Boundiali (Table 2)
Toro previously carried out a soil sampling program covering the entire Boundiali permit on 800m spaced lines. Samples were collected 100m apart on each line but, initially, only every second sample was submitted for analysis, resulting in a reported station spacing of 800m x 200m. Following receipt of the 800 x 200m soil sample analyses, Toro submitted the intervening 100m samples from areas with interesting soil results for gold analysis. The results reported here combine these new analyses with the soil analyses reported previously (ASX release 20/10/15).
==> picture [407 x 277] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
801 additional soil samples were analysed for gold by fire assay at the ALS laboratory at Loughrea in Ireland. The new, infill results confirmed the consistency of the 5.6km long gold-in-soil anomaly reported to the ASX on 20/10/15 and have highlighted a 3km long gold-in-soil anomaly south of there, which had only shown scattered results in the initial 800 x 200m survey (Figure 4).
Figure 5 shows that the northern 5.6km long gold-in-soil anomaly includes a particularly strong 3.2km long section at its southern end, with continuous anomalous (>20ppb Au) values extending over widths of up to 1.2km . Values exceeding 400ppb Au (0.4g/t Au) are now seen on four of the five 800m spaced lines and a strong NNE trend is apparent.
==> picture [406 x 313] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Soil geochemical results at southern end of 5.6km long geochemical anomaly (reported 20/10/15) on satellite imagery background. Note that: (1) gold values above 20ppb Au are regarded as anomalous and (2) the current sample spacing is a very broad 800 x 100m.
Figure 4 shows that a 3km long gold-in-soil anomaly in the SE corner of the Boundiali permit is significant and also worthy of detailed follow up. While anomalous values are a little more scattered than in the northern anomaly, possibly suggestive of several separate mineralised zones, gold values of up 394ppb Au have now been recorded in this area. In addition, a single rock chip sample of an outcrop at the southern end of this anomaly contained 90g/t Au (see below) further highlighting its potential.
Given an 800 x 100m sample spacing, these are excellent soil results. A 30m wide, one kilometre long gold deposit with a 50 to 100m low grade gold halo around it might generate just seven or
7
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
eight anomalous values in such a grid. These results are suggestive of at least one and possibly two gold mineralised systems which are substantially larger than that.
Toro Rock Chip Sampling Program – Boundiali (Table 3)
On 20 October 2015, PDI announced the results of a soil sampling program conducted by Toro Gold, which identified a 5.6 kilometre gold in soil anomaly with a peak value 0.8 g/t Au. In addition to the soil sampling, Toro undertook opportunistic grab sampling on available outcrop areas. The samples were assayed by ALS at Loughrea in Ireland. The previously identified 5.6km long soil anomaly was not sampled, because of a lack of rock outcrop in that area.
Most of the rock chip samples were gathered in areas which turned out subsequently to contain limited anomalous gold values in the nearby soil samples. However, a very strong result of 90 g/t Au was obtained in one sample from the south-east corner of the permit. Interestingly, it comes from a location approximately 700m upslope from the second strongest stream geochemical result reported from PDI’s 2014 BLEG survey – a value of 16ppb Au. It is also located at the southern end of a soil anomalous trend labelled the Nyangboue trend by Toro Gold Figure 6). The rock chip sample was obtained from an outcrop of quartz veining in schist. Only one other sample was taken in the vicinity, some 500m away (Figure 6).

Ferkessedougou Exploration Permit (Predictive CI 100%)
The Ferkessdougou exploration permit was selected by PDI on the basis of a country scale structural analysis using the Company’s Predictore methods.
Toro Gold Soil Sampling Program – Ferkessedougou (Table 4)
Toro Gold has completed a soil sampling survey of the entire permit on an 800m x 200m sample spacing. The results of sampling the northern two thirds of the permit area are reported here. Soil samples were sieved to 80 mesh at a nearby field office and assayed for gold by ALS at Loughrea in Ireland.
Anomalous (plus 20ppb Au) values were obtained at various locations, the strongest feature being a 3.2km long zone up to 1 km wide. Five lines include values exceeding 50ppb Au with the highest value sample being 895ppb Au (Figure 7). Given the very wide sample spacing, these are highly encouraging results which require follow-up infill sampling.

Follow-up Work Programs and Newsflow
Toro Gold is continuing its very active field programs on the Predictive CI exploration permits. Infill soil sampling programs on a 200m x 50m sample density on the main “Nyangboue” anomalous trend in the eastern part of the Boundiali permit and 400m x 100m density on the other Boundiali anomalous areas were completed in the December Quarter. Results will be released shortly.
RAB and diamond drilling is expected to start on the Kokoumbo exploration permit in the March Quarter. Subject to obtaining ongoing good values at Boundiali, RAB drilling is also expected there following the Kokoumbo program.
Bobosso Project, Cote D’Ivoire
Introduction
The Bobosso Project consists of two granted exploration permits - Bassawa and Wendene in northern Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 1).
Applications for Bassawa and Wendene were both made by an Ivoirian Company, XMI SARL ( XMI ). XMI also holds another permit application, Niakaramandougou, which is located south-west of Predictive’s Ferkessedougou permit (Figure 1). The Bassawa permit was granted by decree n°2015-570 dated 29 July 2015. Bassawa and Wendene each cover an area of 400km[2] . Niakaramandougou covers 399 km[2] . The Cote D’Ivoire Government announced the grant of Wendene following a Ministerial Council Meeting dated 9 December 2015 (http://www.gouv.ci/doc/1449750005CCM_09122015.pdf, item 5, page 7).
Bassawa and Wendene are located in the southern extension of the well mineralised Hounde Belt in Burkina Faso, which includes Semafo’s Mana Mine (5Moz in ore resources and reserves[1] ).
Both permit areas were previously covered by a single exploration permit that was granted to Equigold in 1997, then passed onto Lihir Gold Limited and subsequently to Newcrest Mining Limited following the successive mergers of those companies. Predictive understands that the ground was surrendered last year because of the age of the permit, which was well beyond the normal time for exploration envisaged by the Cote D’Ivoire Mines Administration.
The reported geology of the area includes mafic volcanics, sediments and intrusive rocks of variable composition including diorites and granites.
Historical Exploration Results
(see September Quarterly Report for detailed data and additional cross sections)

XMI has provided PDI with a historical exploration database including technical reports. This has been validated by a visit to the main drilled area and sighting some of the historic drill collars in their correct locations. Subsequently, many of the original drill assay data certificates have also been obtained.
The Equigold and Lihir Gold Limited historical RC and diamond drilling on the Wendene permit application consisted of 569 RC and 11 diamond drill holes. This work followed up soil sampling and widely spaced RAB drill lines on both the Wendene and Bassawa permits.
The historical soil sampling obtained many anomalous results over the Bassawa permit and Wendene permit application. Of particular note is a 7km[2] area in Wendene in which most of the values are above 100ppb Au (Figure 10). 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 11). 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.
All RC and diamond drill intercepts were reported in the drill results table in the September Quarterly Report. High-grade and/or wide mineralised intercepts recorded in the database include the following:
-
BRC047: 32m at 1.93g/t Au from 12m
-
BRC053: 2m at 29.70g/t Au from 0m
-
BRC083: 5m at 20.60g/t Au from 48m

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
Predictive makes the following observations about the Bobosso project:
-
The drilled area covers a major gold mineralised system with numerous separate zones of gold mineralisation, apparently with variable vein and/or mineralised shear orientations.
-
Gold mineralisation continuity is not the same everywhere. In places, convincing continuity can be seen but, elsewhere, continuity is not as clear. This may be due, in part, to holes having been drilled in the wrong direction. Some mineralisation may also be present as thin veins with limited strike extent.
-
Elevated gold values near surface are quite common, and help explain the very large gold anomaly. These values may be explained by partly lateritised alluvium/colluvium formed by erosion of the underlying mineralisation. In places, continuity of these near-surface values from hole to hole is clear (e.g. Figure 12). Such zones offer potential for early low cost gold production from this site.
-
Gold grades in unweathered rocks are associated with elevated levels of quartz and/or pyrite.
-
Geologically logged primary rock types include andesite, basalt, diorite and lesser felsic schists, tuffs and granite. Some inconsistencies between the geology of adjacent holes have been noted, which suggests that re-logging will be required. Predictive understands that the RC drill chips still exist and could be available for re-logging by Predictive geologists. Re-logging of the geology and systematic XRF measurements of chips and drill core will offer a good opportunity to both better understand mineralisation continuity and plan follow-up drilling.
-
According to the historical drill logs, the depth of weathering averages about 30m.
-
Most of the historical drilling was conducted on 200m spaced drill lines. It is unlikely that a formal resource estimation could be made using such widely spaced drill lines. Nevertheless, Predictive believes that, when supported by the results of new infill drilling, this data is sufficiently well documented for use in a future resource calculation because:
-
the digital database includes hole collar information, downhole survey data, assays, geological logs and drill core photography,
-
based on Predictive’s field visit, many hole collar markers appear to be intact, allowing validation of the drill locations by an independent expert, and
-
most of the RC drill gold analysis certificates are now held by Predictive.
-
Few or no villagers live or farm directly on the Bobosso gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly. There are signs of recent artisanal mining activity but PDI is informed that Government officials have recently been actively discouraging artisanal mining in this area. Predictive is informed that past explorer relationships with the local villagers were positive.
-
Local infrastructure is generally quite good. The nearest town, Dabakala, is connected to Cote D’Ivoire’s sealed road network and is a 90 minute drive from the project area. There is also a substantial power line which runs within a few kilometres of the Bobosso gold anomaly.

Agreement with XMI
Key terms of the agreement are as follows:
-
The agreement is subject to grant of the Wendene permit, which has now taken place.
-
Equity in the project will be earned through a holding company in the UK - Exploration and Mining Investments Limited ( EMIL ).
-
On grant of Wendene, PDI will invest £27,000 (Approximately A$58,000) into EMIL and obtain 15% of that company.
-
PDI will have an exclusive right for six months to raise capital to progress the project. This capital may be provided in part or in whole by PDI or third party investors arranged by PDI.
-
Subject to completion of a successful initial capital raising of at least £500,000 within 6 months of the grant of Wendene, Predictive will have the first right of refusal to raise funds into EMIL for two years from the date of grant.
-
Predictive’s team will manage exploration of the project.
The benefits of this agreement are that:
-
PDI’s initial outlay is modest but will immediately give the Company a 15% equity in the project.
-
The agreement maximises PDI’s flexibility by allowing investment at the project level or at the parent company level.
-
Predictive’s technical team will be able to manage exploration of the project in a highly cost effective way, and with minimal overheads.
-
The two year right to raise funds into EMIL maximises PDI’s ability to retain control of the project.
15
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
The owners of XMI will play a key role in the ongoing management of EMIL. Their representative, Mr Eric Kondo, holds an EMIL Board seat and will be a member of the executive committee which will run EMIL on a day-to-day basis. Mr Kondo will also provide critical in-country support in regards to the administration of XMI, government and community relationships. The technical program, which will constitute the major activity of EMIL and XMI, will be managed by Predictive’s Managing Director, Mr Paul Roberts.
Planned Work Program
Initial work planned for the March Quarter is as follows:
-
Geological mapping of the Bobosso mineralised area;
-
Re-logging of RC and diamond drill samples of key mineralised areas, including XRF logging to more accurately distinguish rock types. Logging of orientated drill core may provide a clearer picture of mineralised lode orientations;
-
Ground follow-up of gold anomalous areas throughout the two permits to identify potential future drill targets;
-
Possible metallurgical testwork of shallow gold mineralisation, depending on the availability of drill samples.
In accordance with the Company’s stated strategy, PDI and Mr Kondo will seek additional funding for EMIL to enable drilling of high priority mineralised zones without requiring dilutive capital raisings by Predictive itself.
Burkina Faso
The Company’s tenement holding covers approximately 100km of strike length in the Samira Hill greenstone belt in eastern Burkina Faso (the Bonsiega permit group, Figure 13). 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 now 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).

Figure 13: 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 December Quarter. Costs are being restricted to the maximum extent possible and the Burkina team of 5 persons is currently on half salary.
PDI’s plan for the March Quarter is to seek a joint venture partner to help advance exploration of the ground.
Australia
Cape Clear EL 5434, Victoria
Exploration Licence 5434 is located west of Ballarat in Victoria (Figure 14). It was granted to PDI in August 2013. The area is highly prospective for shallowly concealed Stawell-style gold mineralisation. PDI has previously carried out geological mapping and a gravity survey over part of the EL area.
Execution of a binding joint venture agreement with Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd (CCM) on this EL was announced to the ASX on 22[nd] September 2014. CCM can earn 75% equity in the licence by spending $500,000 on exploration, including at least 1,000m of drilling prior to the end of the September Quarter 2015.
17
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
CCM commenced a three hole diamond drilling program, totalling 1,400m on 8[th] October 2015. Two holes were completed and a third was in progress at the end of December. Metres drilled to the end of December totalled 1,006m. Assay results will be released shortly.
CCM has recently advised that it has now spent over $250,000 and completed 1,000m of drilling, and has therefore achieved a 51% equity in the project.

Notes: Soil sampling is a reconnaissance exploration technique. In the sampling and sample preparation method used by Toro, soil samples were collected from shallow holes and dried, sieved to -80 mesh and subsampled at a local field camp. The prepared samples were then sent to the ALS laboratory in Loughrea in Ireland for fire assay analysis. RL ranges for the Ferkessedougou permit are 271 to 316m. Individual RLs are not reported in this announcement because they are not relevant to interpreting geochemical data of this type.

Commentary |
| 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. |
The sampling described in this report refers to soil samples obtained from the Ferkssedougou exploration permit in Cote D’Ivoire. The soil samples were collected from shallow holes with depths between 10 and 50cm. |
| 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). |
This is not relevant to a soil sampling program. |
| 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. |
This is not relevant to a soil sampling program. |
33
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
| 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. |
Soil samples are described in terms of soil type, regolith and landscape classification and colour. Descriptions are largely qualitative. |
|---|---|---|
| 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 beingsampled. |
The sample preparation method is appropriate and standard for soil samples 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. |
The analytical method used has a very low (1ppb Au) detection limit which is appropriate for samples of this type. |
| 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 |
This is not relevant to a soil sampling program. |
| 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. |

|---|---|---|
| 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 soil sampling grid was 800 x 200m and is considered appropriate for a reconnaissance exploration grid of this type. No Mineral Resource can be estimated from these data. |
| 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. |
The samples were collected along lines which were designed to cross cut the interpreted bedding and foliation strike orientations in permit. |
| Sample Security | The measures taken to ensure sample security |
Samples are stored securely at Toro Gold’s field office in Yamoussoukro. |
| 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 sampling program. |
