INTRODUCTION
PDI’s principal focus is in the countries of Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso in West Africa.
In Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 1), the Company has interests in six granted exploration permits and two permit applications, totalling 2,749km[2] , which are being actively explored under the terms of a joint venture with Toro Gold Limited ( Toro ). PDI is also conducting exploration under an agreement with Progress Minerals Inc ( Progress ) and Ivoirian Company, West African Venture Investments SARL ( WAVI ), on the Bobosso Project, which covers 1,200km[2] . A further six permit applications covering 2,320km[2] were announced on 6 February 2017.
In Burkina Faso, the Company has an effective Ouagadougou-based team and a large regional tenement package in the north-east of the country covering 949km[2] (Figure 8). 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 4/9/14).
PDI also holds an Exploration Licence in Victoria (Figure 9) which was drilled in 2016 by joint venture partner, Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd ( Cape Clear ).
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, Progress and Cape Clear Joint Ventures are operating well and generating significant newsflow. At the same time, the Company contunues to seek new ground on which it can undertake early stage exploration in its own right.
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 re-election in 2015, 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.

TORO GOLD JV
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 (Figure 1). The Toro Joint Venture operates through Predictive Discovery Limited’s subsidiary, Predictive Cote D’Ivoire SARL ( Predictive CI ) of which Predictive now holds 35%. Toro has earned a 65% equity by spending US$3.5 million on exploration of six permits. Predictive has now commenced contributing 35% of ongoing exploration costs.
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 Nyangboue gold mineralised zone intersected in the 2016 RC drilling program.
Nyangboue Prospect
Widely spaced RC drilling on the Nyangboue Prospect in 2016 obtained a series of highly encouraging intercepts (announced to the ASX on 23/6/16, 25/7/16, 8/8/16, 12/9/16 and 13/10/16) including:
-
BRC003 - 28m at 4.04g/t Au from 3m, including 1m at 49.7g/t Au
-
BRC004 - 20m at 1.97g/t Au from 0m
-
BRC004 - 14m at 5.51g/t Au from 32m, including 1m at 31.6g/t Au
-
BRC004BIS (twin hole) – 20m at 10.45g/t Au from 38m including 1m at 145.5g/t Au
-
BRC006 – 9m at 7.9 g/t Au from 99m including 1m at 44.7g/t Au
-
BRC023 – 7m at 3.8g/t Au from 33m including 1m at 11.3g/t Au
-
BRC048 – 28m at 1.55g/t Au from 1m including 1m at 27.4g/t Au
Diamond Drilling
A 1,658m diamond drilling program was completed during the March Quarter. Ten holes were drilled, most of which were designed to test the central section of the gold mineralised zone encountered in the 2016 RC drill program (Figure 2). The objectives of the program were to:
-
obtain orientated core within the mineralised zone to understand the geological controls on gold mineralisation encountered in the earlier RC drill program, and
-
test several geophysical and geochemical targets.
The diamond drilling was carried out by Energold and the core samples were assayed by ALS at Loughreagh in Ireland. Additional details about the program are provided in Table 1.
Cross sections through some of the holes drilled in this program are provided as Figures 3 and 4. The diamond drill hole assay results were received and reported in the June Quarter, and are provided in Table 1.

Figure 2: RC and diamond drill hole collar locations on a gold-in-soil geochemical contour plan, highlighting key drill results, in the southern 2km portion of the Nyangboue Prospect (announced to the ASX on 23/6/16, 25/7/16, 8/8/16, 12/9/16, 13/10/16, 17/5/17 and 29/5/17). Gold geochemical contours are superimposed on satellite imagery.
Holes NDC007-010 were drilled in an east-south-east direction and were designed to cross cut north-west dipping gold mineralised veins observed in the first core holes at approximately right angles. In so doing, they also tested the (steeply east dipping) mineralised shear zone at an acute angle (see Figure 3). As reported previously, there is visible gold in the mineralised quartz veins and drilling in this direction may have exacerbated the grade variability (“nugget effect” – see below) that results from having relatively coarse gold. Thus, in the case of hole NDC007, an exceptional result was obtained. The three diamond drill holes to the south, however, produced results lower in grade than the earlier nearby RC holes, which may reflect the same “nugget effect” grade variability but on the down-side.
Other geological observations made in the diamond drilling program are as follows:
5
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
-
The gold mineralisation appears to be concentrated on or near a regional contact between a more massive deformed conglomerate to the west and interbedded shales, siltstones and sandstones to the east.
-
Oriented core shows that the mineralised rocks are sheared with the foliation (or shear) orientation being NNE (strike) with a steep dip to the east. The gold in soil geochemical anomaly is also orientated NNE which suggests that the primary control on gold mineralisation is the shearing, especially in the area near the regional sheared contact between coarser and finer grained sediments.
-
Visible gold (Figure 5) is present within or on the contact of thin quartz veins, a few of which are folded, and which generally dip moderately to the west i.e. cross cutting the shear orientation. The veins in which gold is observed are typically quite thin, up to a few centimetres wide.
-
As with most mineralised systems containing visible gold, standard fire assay gold methods have generated quite variable results, a phenomenon known as the “nugget effect”. Check analyses with different methods (e.g. screen fire assays) are required and planned.
-
The mineralised zones also contain disseminated sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite) oriented parallel to the shear orientation and some of the gold may be associated with them.

Reverse Circulation Drilling Program
A reconnaissance RC drilling program, totalling 4,274m, testing the Nyangboue South and Gbemou soil geochemical anomalies (Figure 6) was completed in the June Quarter. RC samples are in the process of being prepared at Toro Gold’s sample preparation laboratory in Senegal and assayed at ALS’s laboratory in Loughrea in Ireland. Assays are awaited.

Rock chip sample locations are shown as small black triangles.
Ferkessedougou North Permit
Ferkessedougou North is located directly in northern Cote D’Ivoire directly adjacent to Burkina Faso’s southern border (Figure 1). It is the subject of an agreement between Predictive Discovery CI and local Ivoirian company, Gold Ivoire Minerals SARL. A 17km long gold-in-soil anomaly (Figure 7) has been identified on the permit (ASX releases dated 14/12/16, 2/2/17 and 28/4/17).
Additional soil sampling was carried out on the permit during the June Quarter.

Kokoumbo and Beriaboukro Permits
Predictive CI is earning a 90% interest in the Kokoumbo exploration permit in southern Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 1) from an Ivoirian company, Ivoir Negoce SARL. 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.
The Beriaboukro permit is located directly south of Kokoumbo (Figure 1) and is the subject of an agreement between Predictive CI and local Ivoirian company, Gold Ivoire Minerals SARL.
Additional soil sampling was carried out on the permit during the June Quarter.

Planned September Quarter Work Program
Field activities will be limited during the September Quarter because of the rainy season. The next drilling program is expected to commence in the December Quarter. Work during the September Quarter is expected to include:
-
Re-analysis of Boundiali drill samples using screen fire assay,
-
Soil sampling on the Kounahiri exploration permit,
-
Planning for the December Quarter exploration program which will include aeromagnetic surveys on the Ferkessedougou North, Ferkessedougou South and Boundiali exploration permits and RC drilling on several permits.
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), 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] ).
Previous exploration by Equigold, Lihir and Newcrest including a series of large drilling programs totalling 569 RC holes and 11 diamond drill holes. This obtained many gold mineralised intercepts beneath a 7km[2] gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly (ASX release dated 28/10/15) indicating the presence of a large gold mineralised system.
Geological mapping and re-logging of historical diamond drill core by Predictive staff has demonstrated that the gold mineralisation is hosted in a sequence of mafic volcanics, with lesser felsic to intermediate volcanics and minor metasediments. Gold mineralisation is found in both broad, moderate grade alteration zones (silica-sericite-carbonate-pyrite) and narrower, higher grade quartz veins.
PDI has earned a 37% equity in the Bobosso project through an agreement which was signed in October 2015 with the owner of XMI, West Africa Venture Investment ( WAVI ). More recently, Predictive and WAVI have entered into a funding agreement with Progress Minerals Inc ( Progress ) by which Progress is funding US$1 million of expenditure to earn a 30% equity in the project (ASX release dated 16/3/17). The reported diamond drilling program forms a major part of that commitment.

DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM
A diamond drilling program, totalling 17 holes and 1657m, was completed in May 2017. It was designed to explore four small areas within the large Bobosso gold mineralised system by:
-
testing for mineralisation continuity along east-west to north-east trends identified from geological mapping and geophysical surveys (see Figure 8), and
-
following up several historical, high-grade gold intercepts.
The historical drilling was mostly drilled from west to east on an ESE (105⁰) azimuth. This assumed that the target mineralisation was orientated NNE. A subsequent aeromagnetic survey indicated that the mineralisation distribution was probably controlled by ENE orientated structures (Figure 2). This drill program was designed to test the validity of that concept. The bulk of drill holes in this program were therefore drilled on an azimuth of 160⁰ to test ENE striking zones dipping towards the north.
The diamond drilling was carried out by PPI and the core samples were assayed by ALS in Ghana. Additional details about the program and assay results are provided in Table 2.
Four target areas were drill tested (Figure 8):
Target Area 1
Drilling here was designed to follow-up a high-grade quartz vein mineralisation style as well as lower grade disseminated mineralisation.
Figure 9 illustrates the distribution of gold mineralised intercepts from this drill program in relation to historical drill intercepts (reported to the ASX on 28/10/15). It shows several gold mineralised zones, the most important one of which can be traced over at least 150m of strike, is open to both the west and east and dips towards the north. The figure also shows the location of two highergrade intercepts in historical holes BDD001 and BRC083 which intersected a higher-grade quartz vein style of mineralisation including 6m at 17.3g/t Au . The distribution of the latter relative to the lower grade disseminated gold mineralisation style is illustrated in Figure 10.

BOBDD004.

Results of holes BDD001 and BRC083 were reported to the ASX on 28/10/15. Note that the apparent widening of the gold mineralised zone in the near-surface is interpreted as supergene lateral re-distribution of the gold.
Target Area 2
Drilling here was designed to follow-up an area containing several high-grade quartz vein intercepts and some known artisanal workings which are also known to contain high-grade vein style mineralisation.
Figure 11 shows that one of the diamond drill holes, BOBDD007, intersected two zones of highgrade quartz vein-hosted gold mineralisation: 2.2m at 8.77g/t Au including 1.2m at 14.25g/t Au and 1.45m at 6.16g/t Au including 0.5m at 11.8g/t Au .

Target Area 3
Drilling here was designed to confirm an apparently east-west striking and north-dipping zone of gold mineralisation. The close spaced drilling confirmed the east-west strike and north dip of a modest grade zone over a strike length of approximately 200m (Figure 12).

Target zone 4
Drilling here was designed to test several mineralised zones with uncertain strike orientations (either E-W or NE).
Figure 13 shows that the principal disseminated gold mineralisation zone here strikes WNW, consistent with foliation trends observed in the core, and is open to the west.

CONCLUSIONS
This drill program has shown that:
-
The predominant, disseminated gold mineralisation style can be traced from hole to hole over distances of more than 100m and, in the areas tested, strikes between NE through E- W to ESE. Foliation and occasional bedding orientations vary through the same range of strike orientations as the disseminated mineralisation, suggesting that mineralisation distribution is controlled by the structures seen in the aeromagnetic map (Figure 8).
-
The mineralisation continuity demonstrated in this program will be helpful in planning future resource drill-outs over the Bobosso mineralised system.
-
Given that the previous drilling is oriented very obliquely to the mineralisation strikes observed in this program, there is significant potential to find more such mineralisation, potentially in multiple parallel zones in the large gaps between the earlier drill lines. Most of the mineralisation drilled in this program is open along strike on both directions.
-
The higher-grade quartz vein style appears to be less persistent along strike and will require more detailed drilling to define resources.

NEXT STEPS
Predictive and Progress are currently reviewing the results of this drill program with a view to planning the next field program commencing after the rainy season in October. While the details of that program have not yet been decided, it is expected to include a significant RC drilling program on the Bobosso prospect along with a regional geochemical exploration program.
BURKINA FASO
The Company’s tenement holding covers 949km[2] including approximately 100km of strike length in the Samira Hill greenstone belt in eastern Burkina Faso (Figure 14). 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).

Figure 14: Locality map of PDI permits in eastern Burkina Faso, showing location of Bongou and other key prospects. The red polygons cover new permits for which the grant fees have been paid, and which will replace the oldest permits in the ground package. The blue polygon (formerly Fouli) is in the process of being replaced by the new Kalinga permit. The grey polygons are existing exploration permits. The background colours are geology – pale green is “greenstone” (principally mafic volcanics and sedimentary rocks), the pink is granite.
No field work was carried out in Burkina Faso during the June Quarter.
16
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
Predictive has been working with the Burkina Faso Mines Department to renew and/or replace some of the older permits in the tenement package for the past 12 months. This has involved payment of some substantial permit renewal fees. In July, formal invitations to pay fees were received from the Minister for three of the four permits in question - Madyabari (replaced by Bongou), Sirba (replaced by Tambifwanou), Bangaba (replaced by Tambiri). The fees have now been paid; in Burkina, issue of the permit grant documents after fee payment is regarded as a formality. The fourth older permit, Fouli, is in the process of being replaced by a new permit, Kalinga.
These four permits cover the Company’s most important prospects (see Figure 14). The new permits will each have a life of nine years, giving the company ample time to advance the prospects through to feasibility and, hopefully, development.
PDI has been in active discussions with a suitable joint venture partner for over 12 months while this process of permit replacement has been going on. Now that this process is nearly complete, the Company hopes to finalise the proposed joint venture arrangements soon.
AUSTRALIA
CAPE CLEAR JOINT VENTURE (EL5434)
Introduction
Exploration Licence 5434 is located west of Ballarat in Victoria (Figure 9). 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 15: Cape Clear Exploration Licence Locality Plan
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 geological position on the western side of a basalt ridge, which is, in turn, west of the major Coongee Fault.
No field work was undertaken during the Quarter.
Predictive and CCM have now revised the joint venture arrangements such that Predictive will participate in exploration of the northern portion of EL5434, which PDI regards as being more prospective, and CCM will explore the southern portion in its own right. In return for ceding its rights over the southern portion of the EL, PDI has rights to a 1% net smelter return royalty on any production from that area.
CORPORATE
Cash Position
The Company held $1,621,000 in cash at the end of the June Quarter with no debt.
The Company has commenced payments for the Toro Joint Venture including back payments for expenditure incurred by Toro above the earn-in amount of US$3.5 million in the period from midFebruary to end June. Foreshadowed expenditure in the September Quarter is therefore higher than normal.

| 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. |
All of the sampling described in Table 1 refers to diamond drill holes. A representative subsample of the core was obtained by splitting or cutting the core lengthways. The assayed drill samples are judged to be representative of the rock being drilled because representative sub-sampling of the diamond core samples was achieved. |

| 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. |
Core recovery was assessed by measurement of recovered core. 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 diamond drill 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 core was cut in half. 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 in Ireland. 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 were prepared at Toro’s sample preparation laboratory at Mako in Senegal. |

The Boundiali exploration permit was granted to PDI Cote D’Ivoire SARL in January 2014.Toro Gold Limited may earn a 65%% interest in PDI Cote D’Ivoire SARL by spending US$3.5 million. Subject to an audit, this expenditure has now been achieved. |
| 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 government geological agency. |
| 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 |

| 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. |
All diamond core samples were collected and assayed in 1.5m intervals. No top cuts have been applied to the drill results. Up to 1.5m (down-hole) of internal waste is included except in the reported broader mineralised intervals were variable but sometimes large amount of internal waste were included. 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 not been estimated as the gold appears to occur both in east dipping shearing and west-dipping quartz veins so it is difficult to determine at this stage, how to calculate true width. Some petrographic studies are required to help resolve this question. |
| 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 two cross sections showing the location of the drill holes are included in 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 1.5m 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 |
All relevant exploration data is either reported in this release or has been reported previously and is referred to in the release. |

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
JORC Code Criteria Commentary Explanation Sampling All of the sampling described in Table 1 refers to diamond Technique Nature and quality of drill holes. sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific A representative subsample of the core was obtained by specialised industry standard splitting or cutting the core lengthways. 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 assayed drill samples are judged to be representative of the rock being drilled because representative sub- sampling of the diamond core 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, by what method, etc). |
The drilling was carried out by the core drilling method. |
| 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. |
Core recovery was assessed by measurement of recovered core. The geologists on site reported 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. |
Logging of diamond drill 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. |
27

|---|---|---|
| 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 lengthways. 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 Ghana. At the lab, regular assay repeats, lab standards, checks and blanks were inserted and analysed. Unlabelled standards (Certified Reference Materials) and blanks were also inserted by team members on site at Bobosso. Samples were prepared at ALS’s sample preparation laboratory at Yamoussoukro in Cote D’Ivoire. |

| 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 twinning was undertaken in this program. Field data collection was undertaken by site geologists and supervised by Predictive and Progress 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 30 North. |
| 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 holes reported here were drilled as shown on the included locality plans. 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 gold mineralisation. |
| Sample Security | The measures taken to ensure sample security |
The core samples are currently stored securely in a rented shed close to the Bobosso field camp site. |
| 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. |
| Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results | ||
| 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 Wendene exploration permit (on which the Bobosso prospect is located) was granted to XMI SARL in December 2015. Currently, Predictive Discovery Limited holds 37% and West Africa Mine Investment (WAVI) holds 63%. Progress Minerals Inc is earning 30% by expenditure of $US1 million on exploration. Once this expenditure is complete, Progress will hold 30%, Predictive 30% and WAVI 40%. |

|---|---|---|
| Exploration Done by Other Parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
A substantial amount of exploration was carried out by Equigold and Lihir Gold Limited. This work has been acknowledged and the historical drill results reported to the ASX on 20/1015. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The geology of the Bobosso permit consists of mafic volcanics and intrusives, metasediments, felsic volcanics and intrusives. The target deposit is type is “orogenic gold”. |
| 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 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. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Diamond core samples were typically cut and assayed in 1m intervals, however more selective sampling was performed on more specific features of interest such as quartz veins. No top cuts have been applied to the drill results. Up to 3m (down-hole) of internal waste is included except in the reported broader mineralised intervals where variable but sometimes large amount of internal waste are included. 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 |
True widths have generally not yet been estimated as these will be guided by a 3D interpretation of the drill results which is still in progress. |
30
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
| 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’). |
||
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Appropriate plans and a representative cross section are included in this release. |
| 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. |
Intercepts are reported at 0.25g/t Au and 0.5g/t Au cutoffs and containing at least 1g/t x m with a maximum thickness of internal waste of 3m. |
| 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 commercially sensitive. |
A program of follow-up RC drilling and regional geochemical exploration is currently under consideration. |
Predictive Discovery Limited (PDI) was established in late 2007 and listed on the ASX in December 2010. The Company is focused on exploration for gold in West Africa. The Company operates in Burkina Faso, West Africa where it has assembled a substantial regional ground position covering 1,200km[2] and is exploring for large, open-pittable gold deposits. Exploration in eastern Burkina Faso has yielded a large portfolio of exciting gold prospects, including the high grade Bongou gold deposit on which a resource estimate was calculated in September 2014. PDI also has substantial interests in a large portfolio of tenements in Côte D’Ivoire covering a total area of 4,136 km[2] .
