INTRODUCTION

PDI’s 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 2,936km[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 6). 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 xx) which was drilled in 2016 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.

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 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.

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 Joint Venture operates through Predictive Discovery Limited’s subsidiary, Predictive Cote D’Ivoire SARL ( Predictive CI ). Predictive now has interests in exploration ground in Cote D’Ivoire covering 4,136 km[2] .

Note location of XMI’s recent Dabakala permit application.

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 49%. Toro is earning a further 14% of Predictive CI by spending US$2.5 million, which will lift its equity to 65%. Predictive plans to contribute 35% of the ongoing expenditure once Toro achieves its 65% equity, which is expected in the March Quarter.

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 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.

Nyangboue Prospect

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

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

  • BRC010 – 30m at 0.92g/t Au from 14m including 2m at 7.68g/t Au

Ground geophysical Surveys

An induced polarisation electrical geophysical survey and a ground magnetics survey covering the Nyangboue Prospect were completed in November-December 2016 (Figures 3 and 4). The results from this work are in the process of being integrated into the geological interpretation in preparation for a diamond drilling program which will commence in early February 2017.

Figure 4: Cross-section through line 1034900N which includes the highest grade RC drill intercepts obtained in the 2016 Nyangboue RC drill program (see gold histograms). The cross section was derived from chargeability data obtained in the December Quarter induced polarisation survey. Warm colours indicate high chargeability; this is generally derived from higher percentages of disseminated sulphides below the weathered upper 20-50m of the section. The apparently steep-dipping zone of high chargeability beneath the strongest gold drill intercepts may indicate a pyrite-mineralised zone extending to depths of several hundred metres (note vertical depth scale).

Infill Soil Sampling – Boundiali Permit

Infill soil sampling, totalling 307 samples, was completed over the western and southern gold-insoil anomalies (Figure 5). Sample spacing was 200x50m. Results are expected shortly.

Kokoumbo and Beriaboukro Permits

Predictive CI is earning a 90% interest in the Kokumbo 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 Discovery Cote D’Ivoire SARL (which is jointly owned by PDI and Toro) and local Ivoirian company, Gold Ivoire Minerals SARL.

Aeromagnetic Data Re-processing

Historical aeromagnetic data was re-processed during the Quarter (Figure 6). The data is currently being interpreted in order to assist planning the next drill program.

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

Beriaboukro Geochemical Sampling Program

Infill soil sampling, totalling 1,065 soil samples, was completed over the gold-in-soil anomalous areas highlighted in Figure 7. Most of the samples were collected on a 400 x 100m sample spacing but a tighter, 100 x 50m grid was established over the Ndinguinan site (also known as Takalaso). Results are expected shortly.

==> picture [375 x 275] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7: Location of soil samples and gold-in-soil anomalous values, Beriaboukro permit

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 Cote D’Ivoire SARL (which is jointly owned by PDI and Toro) and local Ivoirian company, Gold Ivoire Minerals SARL.

Soil Sampling Program

Toro Gold carried out a soil sampling program covering most of the Ferkessedougou North permit on 800m spaced lines. Samples were collected 100m apart on each line but only every other sample was submitted for analysis, resulting in a reported station spacing of 800m x 200m.

1,637 soil samples were analysed for gold by fire assay at the ALS laboratory at Loughrea in Ireland. Additional details of the sampling methods are provided in Table 2.

Anomalous gold values (>20ppb Au) were found in numerous locations throughout the grid (Figure 1). A 17km long zone of elevated gold-in-soil values is highlighted on Figure 1. Peak gold-in-soil

8

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

values of 598, 371 and 352ppb Au were recorded from the grid. Given the 800 x 200m assayed sample spacing, these are encouraging soil results. A 1 km long gold ore deposit could be represented by a single value anomaly on such a wide spaced grid.

==> picture [331 x 321] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8: Location of soil samples and gold-in-soil anomalous values, Ferkessedougou North permit

The gold anomalies appear to be associated with strong north-south and north-east orientated structures in images of aeromagnetic data.

Infill Soil Sampling

An infill soil sampling program, totalling 1,065 samples, on a 400 x 100m sample spacing was carried out to follow up these results. Results are expected shortly.

Planned March Quarter Work Program

The March Quarter program will include the following:

  • A 1,500m diamond drilling program at Boundiali, in order to follow up the encouraging RC drill results obtained in 2016 and guided by the results of the ground geological surveys, geological mapping and re-logging of the drill holes.

  • Drill program planning for the Kokoumbo permit followed by RC drilling either in the March or June Quarters.

9

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

  • A second round of infill soil sampling on the Ferkessedougou North and Beriaboukro permits prior to making a decision on possible drilling programs on Ferkessedougou North, Ferkessedougou South and/or Beriaboukro.

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] ).

The Company is earning equity in the project through a joint venture with local licence holder, XMI SARL. Predictive currently holds approximately 35% equity in the project.

Previous exploration by Equigold, Lihir and Newcrest including a series of large drilling programs totalling 569 RC holes and 11 diamond drill holes has revealed a large gold mineralised system at the Bobosso project.

Predictive has been engaged in advanced discussions with a possible funding partner for this project. As a result, detailed field work plans have been made and the following program is expected to commence shortly:

  • Detailed ground magnetics survey over the drilled Bobosso mineralised system and surrounding area.

  • Geological mapping of the entire permit area

  • BLEG stream geochemistry of the entire permit area

  • Diamond drilling of the Bobosso prospect based on the above work plus the detailed relogging of core and geological mapping of the prospect area in 2016. The diamond drilling is now expected to commence early in the June Quarter.

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 6). 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

1 See http://www.semafo.com/English/operations-and-exploration/reserves-and-resources/default.aspx

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

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 278] 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 is engaged in ongoing advanced 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.

11

==> picture [340 x 310] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 10: 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 are in discussions over revision of 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.

CORPORATE

Cash Position

The Company held $2,706, 000 in cash at the end of the December Quarter with no debt.

A combination of several placements and an SPP raised $3,049,450 before costs towards the end of the September Quarter and at the beginning of the December Quarter. Of this, $2,384,000 was raised in the December Quarter.

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 then dried and sieved at 80# 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 North
permit range from approximately 240m to 340m. Individual RLs are not reported in this announcement because they are not
relevant to interpreting geochemical data of this type.

Explanation
Commentary
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.
The sampling described in this report refers samples obtained
from the Ferkessedougou North exploration permit in Cote
D’Ivoire.
The soil samples were collected from shallow holes with depths
between 10 and 50cm.
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.

Data Aggregation
Methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearlystated.
This is not relevant to a soil sampling program.
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’).
This is not relevant to a soil sampling program.
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 showing the locations of the soil
samples, classified by results, are shown 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.
Results from all assayed soil samples have been reported.
Other Substantive
Exploration Data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results;
bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating
substances.
All relevant new exploration data is reported in this release.
Further Work The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
large scale stepout drilling.
Geological mapping and follow-up infill soil sampling is planned
on the permit as outlined in this release.
