INTRODUCTION
PDI’s principal focus is in the countries of Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso in West Africa.
In Cote D’Ivoire (Figures 1 and 2), 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 a large regional tenement package in the north-east of the country covering 949km[2] (Figure 7). 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).

companies which hold the Company’s ground. The Toro, Progress and Cape Clear Joint Ventures are operating well and have been generating significant newsflow. At the same time, the Company contunues to seek new ground in West Africa on which it can undertake early stage exploration in its own right.

Introduction
Predictive has expanded its ground position 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

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
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 an attractive exploration investment destination.
In Cote D’Ivoire, Predictive holds joint ventures with (1) Toro Gold Limited, a UK-based company and (2) West African Ventures Investment SARL (WAVI) SARL and Progress Minerals International (Inc) of Canada (Progress). It has also entered into an option agreement with Sika Resources Pty Ltd on three permit applications held by Sika’s subsidiary, Moaye Resources SARL.
Bobosso Project, Cote D’Ivoire
Introduction
The Bobosso Project consists of two granted exploration permits, Bassawa and Wendene in northern Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 2), 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.
Earlier 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 (carbonate-silica-sericite-pyrite) and narrower, higher grade quartz veins.
PDI 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 ). In 2017, Predictive and WAVI 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). Expenditure on the RC drilling program reported here will complete the US$1 million commitment once drilling and analytical costs are paid. Once that expenditure has been formally accepted, Predictive’s equity will reduce to 30%.
RC Drilling Program
An RC drilling program, totalling 45 holes and 4,244m, was completed on 21[st] December 2017. It was designed to explore six small areas within the large Bobosso gold mineralised system by testing:
1 See http://www.semafo.com/English/operations-and-exploration/reserves-and-resources/default.aspx

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
-
for extensions to gold mineralisation intersected in the earlier diamond drilling e.g. Target 4,
-
for a postulated flat mineralised zone at the Wendene Hill location, and
-
along strike from historical drill intercepts e.g. BRC39 and BRC135.
The holes were mostly drilled towards the SSE on a 160 degree azimuth in keeping with the previously inferred ENE strike and north dip of the mineralised zones.
The program was carried out by a Cote D’Ivoire-based drill contractor, Foramin, and the drill samples were assayed by Bureau Veritas in Abidjan. Additional details about the program are provided in Table 1.
Six target areas were drill tested (Figure 3), the results of four of which are reported here:
Target 4
Figures 4 to 6 illustrate the distribution of gold mineralised intercepts in this prospect, highlighting the results of this drill program plus historical drill intercepts (ASX release dated 28/10/15) and the joint venture’s 2017 diamond drill results (ASX release dated 20/7/17). Figure 4 shows that most mineralisation is contained within one, east-west striking, gold mineralised zone, which is over 200m long. The cross sections (Figures 5-6) show that the zone dips steeply to the north.

Wendene Hill Prospect
Drilling here was designed to test an area where gold-anomalous altered volcanics had been observed at surface, suggesting the presence of a flat zone of gold mineralisation. One line of vertical drill holes was placed here and showed that quite thick zones of gold-bearing altered volcanics are located in the immediate subsurface (Figure 7). The best individual intercept was 11m at 4.93g/t Au from 5m .
The mineralisation has been tested over 200m and is open to the north and east.
While the reason for the flat zone is not yet completely understood, Predictive’s current interpretation is that this mineralisation may have formed a result of thrust tectonics on north dipping structures generating mineralised structures which have both steep north-dipping and flat components.

BRC39 Target
Drilling here was designed to follow-up an encouraging historical drill intercept (BRC39 - 16m at 1.32g/t Au from 62m) and observations of pyritic altered volcanics in artisanal workings.
The drilling obtained several encouraging results (best intercept – 28m at 2.18g/t Au from 5m ) and indicated a north-east strike and variable dips towards the north-west (Figure 8). The mineralised alteration zone at least 150m long and is open to the north-east and south-west.
Here, as in other locations, the best widths and grades appear to be more common in the nearsurface, suggesting a component of supergene enrichment, and indicating that future infill drilling should ensure that every cross-section includes a near-surface intercept in order to obtain a fair representation of widths and grades at (open-pit) mineable depths.

Figure 8: BRC39 target plan view showing results of recent RC drill program (yellow labels) along with historical results in black (reported to the ASX on 28/10/15). Near-vertical dips are indicated in the southwestern drill holes whereas the mineralisation’s dip appears to be shallower in the north-east (e.g. in holes BOBRC32 to BOBRC33).
BRC135 Target
Drilling here was designed to follow-up an encouraging historical drill intercept (BRC135: 8m at 2.72 g/t Au from 26m) and to test a strong and hitherto untested east-west structure observed in aeromagnetic data.
The drilling identified a NNE striking zone of gold mineralisation with a best intercept of 21m at 1.59g/t Au from 61m (stopped in mineralisation). Dips appear to be near vertical. The known strike length is at least 120m, and the zone is open to the south-west.
The drilling was partly designed to test a north-east to east-north-east feature (in keeping with mineralisation strikes further to the north), so the eastern-most section missed the target zone. This result highlights the variability in strike (and dip) of the mineralised zones and hence the need to step out carefully on each zone in future drill programs until the average strike and dip is determined.
The east-west structure appears to be un-mineralised in this location. However, given that it is over 2km long and untested elsewhere, there will be a need to test it further in future drill programs.

CONCLUSIONS
The reported drill results have shown that:
-
The strike orientations of the gold mineralised zones in the Bobosso system (associated with wide alteration zones and disseminated pyrite) range from east-west to north-northeast. Therefore, given the lack of outcrop in most areas, extensions to each mineralised zone need to be tested carefully in a stepwise fashion until mineralisation strike and dip is established.
-
Gold grades and widths are generally highest in the near-surface, suggesting some supergene enrichment. Resource drilling will therefore need to obtain a shallow intercept on each section to ensure that a representative picture of average grades and widths at open pit mineable depths are obtained.
-
The mineralised alteration continuity that was observed in the 2017 diamond drilling has been further confirmed by these results. The primary alteration is easily identifiable by its distinctive pale colour and can therefore be traced from hole to hole quite easily. Much of it is gold-anomalous especially where pyrite and/or quartz veining is present.
-
The flat mineralised zone at Wendene Hill may be the first of a number yet to be discovered within the Bobosso mineralised system. Such zones could be important targets, especially in the near surface, as they present the opportunity to discover significant
10
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
volumes of mineralisation within the zone of supergene enrichment and with potentially low stripping ratios if they are shown to be economically viable to mine.
- This drilling has contributed to the ongoing process of identifying mineralised zones with significant gold-bearing widths, especially in the near surface, most of which are open along strike. The historical drilling has been a useful starting point for testing new areas, however given the generally incorrect historical drill orientation and the prevalence of better grades and widths in the near surface, which were not optimally tested, there is a substantial opportunity to find more zones of the type described here. Furthermore, as Figure 2 demonstrates, there are large untested areas within the outline of the Bobosso soil geochemical anomaly which have seen no drilling at all.
This drill program did not focus on the high grade vein style which is also present in the area. Initial indications are that such vein styles are not very persistent along strike, requiring very detailed drilling for resource estimation. Such drilling may be contemplated in future programs.
Planned December Quarter Work Program – Bobosso JV
Both Predictive and Progress are reviewing the results of this drill program as they come in. When all results have been received, the joint venture will determine the next exploration program both on the Bobosso gold mineralised system and the surrounding exploration permits.
Toro Gold Joint Venture (Predictive 35%)
Background
Predictive is in joint venture with Toro Gold Limited, a UK-based company, on six granted permits and two permit applications in Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 2). The Toro Joint Venture operates through Predictive Discovery Limited’s former subsidiary, Predictive Cote D’Ivoire SARL (Predictive CI) of which Predictive now holds 35%. Predictive is currently contributing 35% of ongoing expenditure by Predictive CI.
Ferkessedougou North
The Ferkessedougou North permit is located in northern Cote D’Ivoire directly adjacent to Burkina Faso’s southern border (Figure 2). It is subject to an agreement between Predictive CI and local Ivoirian company, Gold Ivoire Minerals SARL.
Soil sampling was carried out on a tightening sample pattern during 2016 and 2017, commencing with a sample spacing of 800 x 200m sample spacing, with infill sampling to 200 x 50m (ASX releases dated 1/2/17 and 28/4/17). Anomalous gold values (>20ppb Au) have been found in numerous locations throughout the grid (Figure 10). 16 samples with gold-in-soil values exceeding 0.5g/t Au have now been recorded, the highest value being 1.2g/t Au (1210ppb Au). Geological mapping shows that foliation/shearing trends are NNE orientated. Gold mineralisation observed in artisanal
11
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
workings and the soil anomalies themselves are also NNE orientated suggesting that the source of the anomalies is a series of mineralised shear zones.
A trenching program using a backhoe was conducted during the December Quarter. 25 trenches were dug, totalling 3,187m (Figure 10).

Aeromagnetic Surveys
Aeromagnetic surveys, totalling 11,600 line km, were carried out over three permits – Boundiali, Ferkessedougou North and Ferkessedougou South (Figure 2). Preliminary data has now been received and while the data has not yet been interpreted, interesting structures have been observed in all three areas
Planned March Quarter Work Program – Toro Gold JV
RC drilling, totalling 5,000m is planned on the Ferkessedougou North and Ferkessedougou South permits, commencing on Ferkessedougou North.
A program of approximately 1,000m of trenching will be carried out on the Ferkessedougou South permit, commencing shortly.

BURKINA FASO (Predictive 100%)
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 11). 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[th] September, 2014).

AUSTRALIA
Cape Clear Joint Venture – Predictive 25%
Introduction
Exploration Licence 5434 is located west of Ballarat in Victoria (Figure 12). 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.

==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
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.
Geophysical data on the properties was reviewed during the December Quarter.
CORPORATE
Cash Position
The Company held $2.92 million in cash at the end of the December Quarter with no debt.
Rights Issue and Placement
Predictive announced a Rights Issue to raise up to $2.6 million on 26[th] October 2017. The Issue was oversubscribed and some additional funds were raised via a modest placement. The total amount raised before costs was $3.07 million.

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. |
All of the sampling described in Table 1 refers to RC drill holes. A representative subsample of the sample was obtained by riffle splitting. The assayed drill samples are judged to be representative of the rock being drilled because representative sub- sampling of the RC 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 reverse circulation 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. |
Sample recovery was assessed by weighing sample bags. 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. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Logging of RC 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 samples were riffle split on site.. The sampled material is considered to be representative of the samples as a whole. |
18
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
| 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 prepared and assayed for gold by 50g fire assay at the Bureau Veritas laboratory in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire. At the lab, regular assay repeats, lab standards, checks and blanks were inserted and analysed. Unlabelled standards (Certified Reference Materials), blanks and duplicates were also inserted by team members on site at Bobosso. |
|---|---|---|
| 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 largely by 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. |
All drill holes reported here were drilled approximately at right angles to the anticipated strike of the gold mineralisation. |
19
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
| 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. |

| Sample Security | The measures taken to ensure sample security |
Reference RC samples are currently stored securely at rented premises at Dabakala, the closest town to the Bobosso project area. |
| 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 security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The 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, intermediate 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). |
20
==> picture [596 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
| 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. |
The RC samples were all sampled and assayed in 1m intervals. No top cuts have been applied to the drill results. Up to 3m (down-hole) of internal waste is included 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 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 generally not yet been estimated as these will be guided by a 3D interpretation of the drill results which is still in progress. |
| 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 representative cross sections 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. |
The next exploration program will be decided after all drill results have been received. |
