QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2018

Predictive Discovery Limited ( “Predictive” or “Company” ) is pleased to provide an update on its activities for the December 2018 Quarter. The Company’s primary focus during the reporting period continued to be the advancement of its West African gold projects in Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea and Burkina Faso.

2018-19 Q2 - HIGHLIGHTS

  • Predictive acquired over 900km[2] of highly-prospective ground across Guinea (300km[2] ) and Burkina Faso (623km[2] ), covering some of West Africa’s most prospective greenstone belts.

  • Results from infill soil sampling (400m x 100m) at Boundiali North (Toro JV, Cote D’Ivoire) extended the gold anomalous zone to over 14km in length.

  • Results from the 2,000m diamond drill program at Kokoumbo Project (Toro JV, Cote D’Ivoire) included best intercepts:

  • KOD017: 4.5m at 4.22g/t Au from 57m including 1m at 11.15g/t Au

  • KOD026: 9m at 2.08g/t Au from 69m

  • Power auger drill results were received from Bira, Kalinga and Tantiabongou (Progress JV, Burkina Faso) with best value of 2.8g/t.

  • 2,596m of partner funded RC drilling was completed on the Tambiri permit (Progress JV, Burkina Faso). Results included:

  • TAMRC008: 4m at 4.23g/t Au from 74m including 1m at 10.90g/t Au

  • TAMRC016: 1m at 8.6g/t Au from 33m

MARCH QUARTER 2019 – PLANNED ACTIVITY

  • The Toro Joint Venture will focus its attention on the Boundiali and Ferkessedougou North projects in the Quarter:

  • Approximately 10,000m of RC and diamond drilling will commence at Boundiali.

  • Trench results are expected from Ferkessedougou North. Follow-up drilling will be considered once the trench results have been assessed.

  • Results from stream sediment and rock chip sampling on the Guinea authorisations are expected soon. Predictive will continue low-cost field work with soil geochemistry, rock-chip sampling and geological mapping to focus in on high-grade zones of mineralisation and geochemical targets for follow-up drill testing.

  • Work has been suspended at the Company’s Progress Joint Venture in Burkina Faso due to a security incident.

CORPORATE

  • Bobosso Transaction:

  • Predictive received A$515,000 from Progress Minerals Inc as an initial payment for the Company’s 30% equity in the Bobosso Project (Cote D’Ivoire), releasing Predictive from any future costs or liabilities.

  • The Company also secured the right to future bonus payments based on reserve ounces from bankable feasibility studies on up to three gold mines.

  • All resolutions put to shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 26 November 2018 were carried.

  • Predictive remains well-funded with cash of $1.5 million as at 31 December 2018.

  • The Company made the decision to reduce its equity in the Toro JV to 30% (from 35%) via noncontribution in the December half of 2018. This decision, along with receipt of cash from the Bobosso transaction and with careful control of exploration expenditure in Guinea and Mali, resulted in the Company holding more cash than it had at the end of the September 2018 quarter. This represented a strategic decision to conserve cash in the current difficult market for capital raising.

1. PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY WEST AFRICAN PROJECTS, APPLICATIONS & INTERESTS

With exposure to approximately 6,000km[2] of highly-prospective ground in the West African Birimian greenstone belts of Guinea, Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, Predictive is focused on its 100% owned and Joint Venture gold projects.

PDI’s prospect generator model provides a pipeline of continuous and early stage exploration opportunities, partnering with experienced and respected companies to fund ongoing exploration and leveraging their expertise to realise shareholder value.

2. GUINEA – NONTA, SOULOUKO AND KANKAN PROJECTS

During the period, the Company acquired three 100% owned Reconnaissance Authorisations in Guinea[1] covering 300km[2 ] (Figure 2).

==> picture [521 x 318] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2 - Locality Map of three new Reconnaissance Authorisations in Guinea, across the Siguiri Basin

Field visits have identified significant artisanal workings on the Nonta authorisation with government officials advising Predictive staff that some small workings have yielded many kilograms of gold, indicating the potential for high-grade values. Predictive has submitted an Exploration Permit application to replace the Nonta Reconnaissance Authorisation in order to have the tenure required for more advanced exploration work.

These areas were identified using the Company’s Predictore[TM] methodology which helps identify large and deep structures which are thought to have channelled large quantities of gold-bearing fluid from deeper in the earth’s crust, generating well mineralised gold belts including large gold deposits at surface.

The Company has begun low-cost field work with BLEG stream sediment geochemistry, rock chip sampling and geological mapping being used to focus in on high-grade zones of mineralisation and geochemical targets for follow-up drill testing.

2019 MARCH QUARTER PLANNED ACTIVITES

Field work is ongoing in the three areas and results from completed BLEG stream sediment geochemical surveys will be released in the March Quarter. The Company is also seeking additional ground principally within the highly prospective Siguiri Basin (Figure 2).

3. COTE DIVOIRE – BOUNDIALI, BOUNDIALI NORTH, KOUNAHIRI,

FERKESSEDOUGOU, FERKESSEDOUGOU NORTH, BOBOSSO AND KOKOUMBO PROJECTS & INTERESTS

Predictive has a ground position in Cote D’Ivoire of over 4,000km[2] with the country covering about one third of the highly prospective Birimian gold belt, more than any other country in West Africa. Cote D’Ivoire remains largely underexplored for gold due to political instability in the decade to 2011 which resulted in the previous exploration investment boom bypassing the country.

Predictive has a joint venture agreement with Toro Gold Limited. It also has three permit applications in the name of its 100% subsidiary, Ivorian Resources SARL.

During the period, the Company announced significant activity on its Bobosso, Boundiali, Boundiali North, and Kokoumbo Projects (Figure 3).

The Toro Joint Venture will focus its attention on the Boundiali, Boundiali North and Ferkessedougou North permits in northern Cote D’Ivoire in the March Quarter. Recent exploration in these areas has provided substantial encouragement that requires major follow-up work programs including drilling.

BOUNDIALI NORTH – LARGE COHERENT GOLD SOIL ANOMALIES WITHIN 14KM-LONG ZONE

During the period, the Company announced soil geochemistry results from the recent infill soil sampling (400m x 100m) program[2] at its Boundiali North permit. The program revealed a 14km-long zone of anomalies clustered around the inferred north-south Nyangboue structure that also passes through the Nyangboue gold mineralised zone, which was discovered in 2016. The size of anomalous zone is now larger than the Nyangboue trend to the south.

Within the zone there are several large coherent higher-grade anomalies including:

  • Northern Zone: 1.5km long, 900m wide, peak values of 707ppb and 579ppb Au.

  • Central Zone: 2.7km long, with peak values of 317ppb, 414ppb.

The north-south dashed line is the inferred Nyangboue structure. The grey ellipse covers the original 6km long Nyangboue gold in soil anomaly.

Predictive was granted the Boundiali permit in January 2014 and the Toro Joint Venture negotiated access to the Boundiali North permit in September 2017[3] . The Boundiali and Boundiali North permits are located within a very well mineralised greenstone belt which contains the large operating Tongon, Syama and

BOUNDIALI PROJECT - 2019 MARCH QUARTER PLANNED ACTIVITES

Results from infill sampling (200 x 50m) in the December Quarter on gold anomalous areas in the Boundiali North permit will be released soon.

Following expansion of the project’s gold discovery potential through delineation of the Boundiali North gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies, the Joint Venture plans to carry out approximately 10,000m of drilling on both the Boundiali North and Boundiali permits, focusing on infill drilling of the Nyangboue discovery and reconnaissance drilling of the most prospective Boundiali North anomalies. Some trenching may be undertaken at Boundiali North to help define drill targets.

KOKOUMBO DRILL RESULTS AND PROJECT UPDATE

Predictive announced results from a recent 2,000m diamond drilling (DD) program[4] during the December Quarter. The DD program, managed by Joint Venture Partner Toro Gold, was testing IP geophysical targets (Figure 5) and recently excavated artisanal gold workings with best intercepts including:

  • KOD017: 4.5m at 4.22g/t Au from 57m , including 1m at 11.15g/t Au

  • KOD026: 9m at 2.08g/t Au from 69m

KOKOUMBO - 2019 MARCH QUARTER PLANNED ACTIVITIES

the Joint Venture will consider plans for future activity at Kokoumbo during the Quarter.

BOBOSSO UPDATE – PROJECT PAYMENT, 7,500M OF RC DRILLING AND RESULTS

During the reporting period, the Company sold its 30% interest in the Bobosso Project for an initial payment of A$515,000 by Progress Minerals[5] . Predictive retains a potential future beneficial financial interest with the right to receive payments of US$4.30 per reserve ounce (totalling at least US$2.15 million) at mine development on up to three gold mines on the Bobosso properties. As a result of this transaction, Predictive has no future liability for joint venture contributions.

During the quarter, a 7,500m Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program was completed at Bobosso, testing possible east-north-east trending zones inferred from earlier joint venture drilling[6] . The results were announced by Progress Minerals.

4. BURKINA FASO – BONGOU, BIRA, TAMBIRI, LARO, BOLLE AND KOURAKOU PROJECTS

TAMBIRI AND BIRA PROJECTS (PROGRESS BURKINA FASO JV)

During the March Quarter, the Progress Minerals Joint Venture completed 2,596m of RC drilling on the Tambiri permit, which lies within the wider Progress JV Area of Influence (AOI). The program was testing a gold geochemical anomaly and mineralised structure along strike from high-grade gold mineralisation drilled by Predictive in 2011-12 (Figure 6).

The drilling encountered narrow zones gold mineralisation in most holes along the Tambiri shear zone trend. The mineralised zones dip steeply to the south (Figure 7), consistent with the earlier Predictive drilling[7] . Complete results and details on the drilling methodology are provided in Table 1.

Better intercepts included:

  • TAMRC005: 1m at 7.23 g/t Au.

  • TAMRC008: 4m at 4.23g/t Au from 74m including 1m at 10.90g/t Au .

KOURAKOU, LARO AND BOLLE PERMITS

During the Quarter, the Company received the grant document for the Kourakou permit and paid the fees for Laro and Bolle. These three permits cover 623 km[2] (Figure 1). In Burkina Faso, payment of fees is the last step before permit grant; receipt of the grant documents for Laro and Bolle is therefore expected soon.

5. SECURITY INCIDENT AT THE BURKINA FASO JOINT VENTURE PROJECT

Post reporting period, Predictive Discovery Limited advised of a security incident at its Progress Minerals Joint Venture in Burkina Faso, which resulted in the death of a senior employee of its Canadian joint venture partner Progress Minerals Inc[8] .

Page 10 of 19

The Company extended its deepest sympathies to the family and colleagues of Kirk Woodman – a respected geologist with 20 years of experience in West Africa. “Kirk’s expertise, professionalism and love of his work and passion for West Africa were obvious to all who knew him”.

The ongoing safety and security of every individual involved in the joint venture managed by Progress Minerals is of paramount importance to both companies.

All local employees of the joint venture company Predictive Discovery SARL are safe and secure after the incident. Predictive is monitoring the ongoing security situation in various regions of Burkina Faso and will work with Progress Minerals Inc to assess the implications for its local project activities.

The incident does not affect any other Predictive operations or interests.

6. CORPORATE

  • During the reporting period, the Company received A$515,000 from Progress Minerals Inc as payment for the Company’s 30% equity in the Bobosso Project[9]

Importantly, the underlying agreement with Progress secures prospective future bonus payments based on reserve ounces from bankable feasibility studies on up to three gold deposits within the project area.

The agreement also releases Predictive from any future costs or liabilities on the Bobosso Project.

  • All resolutions put to shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 26 November 2018 carried.

  • Predictive remains well-funded with cash reserves of $1.5 million at 31 December 2018.

  • The Company made the decision to reduce its equity in the Toro JV to 30% (from 35%) via noncontribution in the December half of 2018-19. This decision, along with receipt of cash from the Bobosso transaction and careful control of exploration expenditure in Guinea and Mali, has resulted in the Company now holding more cash than it had at the end of the September 2018 quarter. This represented a strategic decision to conserve cash and therefore limit shareholder dilution in a difficult market for capital raising.

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

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
Reference RC samples are currently stored securely on site.

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 parties
such 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 Tambiri exploration permit was granted to Burkina
Resources SARL in August 2017. Currently, PDI has a beneficial
ownership of 49% of the permit. Progress Minerals International
(Inc.) is earning 70% in Tambiri and a number of nearby permits
by expenditure of $US5 million on exploration and evaluation
studies.
Exploration
Done by Other
Parties
Acknowledgment and
appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
A substantial amount of exploration was carried out by BUMIGEB,
the Burkina Faso Government Geological Agency, and High River
Gold, a Canadian company. This work has been acknowledged
previously and the historical drill results were reported to the ASX
on 1/3/2011.
Geology Deposit type, geological
setting and style of
mineralisation.
The geology of the Tambiri permit consists of granodiorite,
mafic volcanics, metasediments and high grade metamorpghic
rocks. 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 RC samples were all sampled and assayed in 1m intervals.
No top cuts have been applied to the drill results.
Up to 2m (down-hole) of internal waste is included.
Mineralised intervals are reported on a weighted average basis.

Page 16 of 19

The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearlystated.
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’).
A note about estimated true widths is provided in Table 1.
Individual true widths are not yet estimated as these will be
guided by a 3D interpretation of the drill results when they are
all received.
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 0.5g/t Au cut-offs with at least 1g/t
x m and a maximum thickness of internal waste of 2m.
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 the results of
the current program are fully assessed.
