QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX:PDI) (“Predictive” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on activities undertaken during the quarter to 30 September 2022.

HIGHLIGHTS

Bankan Project

  • Bankan Project global Mineral Resource estimate increased to 79.5Mt @ 1.63 g/t Au for 4.2Moz Au (Inferred), continuing to position the Project as the largest gold discovery in West Africa in more than a decade. The NE Bankan Mineral Resource estimate increased by 18% to 3.9Moz Au and the Bankan Creek estimate remained unchanged at 331,000oz Au.[ 1]

  • The updated estimate includes an initial high-grade underground Mineral Resource directly below the NE Bankan optimised pit shell of 283,938 tonnes @ 4.85 g/t Au for 44,000 ounces.[1] The underground resource excludes a number of intercepts down-plunge including the deepest diamond hole (BNERD0113), which intersected 24m @ 5.5 g/t Au from 850m,[2] approximately 375m downplunge of the 3.9Moz optimised pit shell.

  • Extensive drilling program ongoing, with 10 drill rigs in operation conducting various resource development and exploration programs across the Project. During the quarter, results were announced for 1,347 holes for 55,608m drilled , including 7,086m of diamond drilling and 14,308m of reverse circulation (‘RC’) drilling at the NE Bankan deposit.

  • Diamond drilling at NE Bankan is targeting the plunge extension of the high-grade shoot and upgrading the Mineral Resource classification to Indicated. Diamond hole BNEDD0129W2, drilled 225m down-plunge of the optimised pit shell , intersected 30.52m @ 3.55 g/t Au linking with the deepest intercept to date (375m down-plunge from the optimised pit shell). This hole also intersected 16m @ 6.14 g/t Au on a new second, high-grade footwall shear zone, opening up multiple lode potential at depth.[3]

  • Dedicated 10m x 10m angled RC grade control program continued at NE Bankan to determine the drill spacing required to convert the Mineral Resource to Indicated and provide input into the Scoping Study currently underway. Standout results included 49m @ 2.12 g/t Au , 27m @ 4.51 g/t Au and 93m @ 1.35 g/t Au .[3,4]

December 2022 Quarter Planned Activities

  • Continue the current 60,000-metre diamond and RC drilling program focused on infilling and expanding the NE Bankan deposit.

  • Continue aircore and power auger drilling at near-mine targets. Progress drilling northwards along the 35km-long structural corridor to generate additional regional targets.

  • Advance baseline environmental studies, development of the biodiversity management plan and other ESG-related activities.

  • Progress Scoping Study activities with support from the Company’s independent consultants, CSA Global.

BANKAN PROJECT

The Bankan gold camp is situated in north-east Guinea in West Africa. The project is 550km by road from Guinea’s capital Conakry within the region of Upper Guinea and is 10km west of the regional administrative centre of Kouroussa. The Bankan Project covers 356km[2] in four exploration permits, Kaninko, Saman, Bokoro and Argo. Three permits are held by wholly owned subsidiaries of Predictive and the Argo permit is held in joint venture, with Predictive having the right to acquire 100% at a decision-to-mine.

In early 2020, Predictive discovered the NE Bankan and Bankan Creek deposits on the Kaninko permit, with NE Bankan recognised as the largest gold discovery in West Africa in more than a decade. Having defined a Mineral Resource of over 4.2Moz Au at Bankan in just two years, the focus is to significantly grow the size and quality of the resource over the next 12 months, and advance the Project towards the development phase of its lifecycle.

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

During the quarter, Predictive announced an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Bankan Project. The global Inferred Mineral Resource now stands at 79.5Mt @ 1.63 g/t Au for 4.2Moz Au across the NE Bankan and Bankan Creek deposits, as shown in the table below. The estimate was prepared by independent consultants, CSA Global Mining Industry Consultants in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).

Table 1: Bankan Project Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

Deposit Classification Tonnes
(Mt)
Grade
(g/t Au)
Contained
(‘000 ounces Au)
NE Bankan Inferred 72.3 1.65 3,884
Bankan Creek Inferred 7.2 1.43 331
Total Bankan Project Inferred 79.5 1.63 4,215

Note: refer to ASX announcement “4.2Moz Bankan Gold Resource” re-released on 2 August 2022 for further details.

The NE Bankan deposit increased by 569,000 ounces, from 3.3Moz to 3.9Moz an 18% increase in Inferred Mineral Resource. Grade increased to 1.65 g/t Au (previously 1.57 g/t Au) driven by the high-grade zone returning an average grade of 6.59 g/t Au.

The estimate includes an initial high-grade underground Inferred Mineral Resource directly below the optimised pit shell of 283,938 tonnes @ 4.85 g/t for 44,000 ounces. The underground resource excludes a number of intercepts down-plunge including the deepest diamond hole (BNERD0113), which intersected 24m @ 5.5 g/t Au from 850m, approximately 375m down-plunge of the optimised pit shell.

The Bankan Creek Mineral Resource estimate remains unchanged from the maiden estimate reported on 30 September 2021.

Ongoing Drilling Program

An extensive drilling program is ongoing at the Bankan Project. There are currently 10 active drill rigs on site with four diamond (‘DD’), two multipurpose diamond/reverse circulation (‘DD/RC’), one RC, one aircore (‘AC’) and two power auger (‘AG’) drill rigs, all conducting various resource development and exploration programs across the Project.

During the quarter, drilling results were announced for a total of 1,347 holes for 55,068m as follows:

Table 2: September 2022 Quarter Drilling

**Drill type ** Holes Metres Locality
DD 14 holes 7,086m NE Bankan
RC 150 holes 14,308m NE Bankan
AC 109 holes 5,312m <3km NE Bankan
AG 1,074 holes 28,362m <3km NE Bankan
Total 1,347 holes 55,068m

NE Bankan Drilling Results

Diamond drilling at NE Bankan is targeting the plunge extension of the high-grade shoot and upgrading the Mineral Resource classification to Indicated. Only three of the DD holes announced during the quarter were included in the recent Mineral Resource update (BNEDD0117, 118 and 119A), with the remaining 11 DD holes to be included in the next update.

DD hole BNEDD0129W2 intersected 30.52m @ 3.55 g/t Au from 723m including 9m @ 7.98 g/t Au on the current Mineral Resource hanging-wall shear zone (STMZ) and 16m @ 6.14 g/t Au on a new second, footwall high-grade shear zone (ST3Z).

This hole links on-plunge the deepest intercept to date in BNEDD0113 of 24m @ 5.5 g/t Au including 11m @ 10.3 g/t Au, with the deepest intercept in the latest Mineral Resource estimate in BNEDD0119A of 30m @ 3.43 g/t Au including 11m @ 6.22 g/t Au.

The ST3Z structure may not have been intercepted by BNEDD0113, opening up multiple lode potential at depth within the plunging high-grade shoot. DD hole BNEDD0129W2 intercepts lie 225m down-plunge from the current US$1,800/oz optimised pit shell, with BNEDD0113 situated 375m down-plunge.

Other diamond drill holes reported during the quarter were targeting the edge of the high grade (+150 gramme metre) tongue, incrementally expanding the high-grade resource, adding high quality ounces within and below the pit. The intercept of 22.8m @ 3.52 g/t Au in hole BNEDD0132 pushes the southern limit of the +150 gramme metre solid a further 40m southwards.

The dedicated 10m x 10m RC grade control program at NE Bankan continued, investigating the shortrange variability of the high-grade mineralisation within the upper fresh and oxide horizons of the main shoot. The results from this drill program will be used to determine the drill spacing required to convert the current Inferred Mineral Resource to the Indicated category and provide input into the scoping study now underway.

A selection of better results from the 150 RC holes reported during the quarter include:

• BNERC0093: 25m @ 2.54 g/t Au from 7m, incl. 2m @ 17.2 g/t Au from 11m 10m @ 1.57 g/t Au from 60m • BNERC095A: 49m @ 2.12 g/t Au from 6m • BNERC0105: 30m @ 2.24 g/t Au from 4m, incl. 4m @ 6.8 g/t Au from 24m • BNERC0108: 24m @ 3.18 g/t Au from 36m, incl. 5m @ 6.88 g/t Au from 43m

Regional and Near-Mine Drilling Results

Aircore drilling focused on the 800W, NEB South and NEB North prospect areas with 109 shallow AC holes (BKAC0278-BKAC386) totalling 5,312 metres.

The 800W prospect has a 250m core of oxide mineralisation located just to the north-west of NE Bankan. Several significant intercepts were reported during the quarter, including 50m @ 0.58 g/t Au, 12m @ 1.24 g/t Au and 14m @ 0.96 g/t Au, with this second phase of aircore drilling reorientated 160-340°, orthogonal to the interpreted NE070° strike of the 800W mineralised structures.

Recent aircore and infill auger results from NEB South reinforce the anomalism associated with the interpreted southern strike extension of the NE Bankan fault system. The best result was 20m @ 1.34 g/t Au.

The NEB North prospect is located 600m north on strike from the last drill section from NE Bankan. Recent aircore results confirm the presence of the NE Bankan-style mineralisation on exactly the same structural setting within the tonalite. Significant intercepts include 14m @ 1.67 g/t Au and 8m @ 1.38 g/t Au.
