Predictive Discovery (ASX:PDI) is an ASX-listed exploration and development company with a large landholding in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, which hosts AngloGold’s large Siguiri Mine (+10Moz). In April 2020, the Company made a greenfields gold discovery at the Bankan Project. Just 17 months after discovery, on 30 September 2021, the Company announced a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource of 3.65 million ounces[1] .
Bankan comprises four tenements - Kaninko, Saman, Argo and Bokoro – a 356km[2 ] land package with no historical drilling undertaken. The Company recently completed a Mineral Resource estimate at Bankan along with infill, expansion and regional aircore drilling during the Quarter.

BANKAN GOLD PROJECT, GUINEA
During the September Quarter, the Company progressed its two greenfields gold discoveries at NE Bankan and Bankan Creek, culminating in the release of the maiden 3.65Moz Mineral Resource estimate at the end of the Quarter.
Deeper drilling at NE Bankan has defined a thick zone of high-grade mineralisation at the base of the Mineral Resource, offering potential for further increases in Mineral Resources.
Within the wider regional Bankan Project area, a large auger drilling program undertaken in the June Quarter was followed up with aircore drilling, with 16 holes for 660 metres completed during the September Quarter. commenced to test the new target areas identified through this work. A particular initial focus was in the
Page 3 of 17
area between NE Bankan and Bankan Creek, which is interpreted to be connected by a series of ENE orientated cross structures.
MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE
During the September Quarter, the Company released a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 3.65 million ounces for the Bankan Gold Project, located in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin. The Total Mineral Resource stands at 72.8 million tonnes at 1.56g/t Au for 3.65 million ounces of gold.
| Deposit | Classification | Tonnes (Mt) | Grade (g/t Au) | Contained Ounces (‘000 Au) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NE Bankan | Inferred | 65.6 | 1.57 | 3,315 |
| Bankan Creek | Inferred | 7.2 | 1.42 | 331 |
| Total | Inferred | 72.8 | 1.56 | 3,646 |
Notes to Mineral Resource Table:
-
The Mineral Resource is estimated with all drilling data available at 11[th] September 2021. Drillholes BNERD0090 and BNERD0091 (reported to ASX on 16 September 2021) were included in the Mineral Resource database. BNERD092 was not included in the Mineral Resource estimate.
-
The Mineral Resource is reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 Edition at a 0.5g/t cut-off.
-
The Competent Person is Phil Jankowski MAusIMM (CP) of CSA Global.
-
The Mineral Resources are constrained by optimised pit shells using a metal price of USD1,800 per ounce Au and process recovery of 94%.
-
Rounding may lead to minor apparent discrepancies.
The maiden Mineral Resource estimate was based on assays and information from 147 reverse circulation drillholes for 14,973m, 28 diamond drillholes for 6,005m, 32 RC/DDH drillholes for 9,486m and 47 aircore drillholes for 2,231m.
EXCELLENT METALLURGICAL TESTWORK RESULTS
During the Quarter, the Company completed initial scoping-level metallurgical testwork for the Bankan Gold Project, with excellent gold recoveries returned under standard test conditions[2] . Bankan gold mineralisation has been confirmed as free-milling with high gold recoveries, and is amenable to a simple, industry-standard comminution and carbon-in-leach process circuit.
The key metallurgical testwork results included[2] :
-
Cyanide leach recoveries from all gold mineralisation types ranged from 94.2% to 98.5% under optimised conditions (75-micron grind, 24 hours).
-
Very good leaching kinetics with at least 94% of extractable gold dissolution within 24 hours.
-
Gravity gold recoveries ranging from 13.1% to 37% with values from the tonalite and tonalite-skarn ore ranging from 19.6% to 37%.
Page 4 of 17
The ore is relatively hard with breakage characteristics pointing to (a) a three-stage crushing and ball mill circuit or (b) two-stage crushing and High-Pressure Grinding Roll ( HPGR ) before milling or (c) a Semi Autogenous Ball Mill Crushing Circuit ( SABC ). Under optimised conditions, cyanide consumption is anticipated to be 0.7 to 0.9 kg/t and lime consumption of 0.1kg/t or less.
NE BANKAN
Diamond drilling at NE Bankan to date has confirmed broad widths in fresh rock and excellent hole-to-hole continuity, with high-grade gold mineralisation during the Quarter confirmed to extend to 400m vertical depth[5] (Figure 3).
Drilling completed in the September Quarter expanded the high-grade Mineral Resource potential at NE Bankan substantially with broad widths and excellent gold grades showing excellent continuity and consistency and extending to depth. During the Quarter, the first evidence of outstanding grades and widths in the high-grade core of the deposit with the reporting of 44m @ 8.0g/t Au from 265m in BNEDD085[3] (Figure 4).
Results from 9 RC-DD holes, totalling 3,497m, were received during the September Quarter, all of which were used in the calculation of the Company’s maiden 3.65Moz Mineral Resource estimate. The most important results, which have expanded the gold mineralisation to depth, were received from the Central Gold Mineralised Zone (Figure 2) and are summarised in a number of key cross-sections below.

BANKAN REGIONAL EXPLORATION PROGRAM
During the Quarter, the Company completed a high-impact aircore ( AC ) drilling program following up a series of regional gold auger anomalies to the south and west of NE Bankan. The initial program consisted of 16 holes for 660m, with plans to significantly increase the program.

Figure 10 – Bankan Regional cross section S1173660, including hole BKAC0016
The 28m @ 12.1g/t Au intercept in BKAC0016 (Figure 11) ranks among the best high-grade drill results at the Bankan Gold Project.
Drill results obtained so far suggest that there are horizontal zones of anomalous gold values on some sections and >10m thick horizontal zones with little or no gold on other sections. This suggests that there are near-surface layers of transported material too thick for penetration by power auger in places, which may be concealing deeper zones of weathered bedrock gold mineralisation below, thereby warranting AC drilling to search for extensions along strike, despite low auger values.
