March 2022 Quarter - Planned Activities

  • Developing an ESG road map for the next 12 to 24 months

  • Diamond drilling to continue with two multipurpose drill rigs currently in operation. At present, both rigs are drilling holes to depths of 500-650m below surface, to explore for deeper extensions of the high-grade gold zone.

  • AC and auger drilling on regional targets across the Bankan Project is continuing.

  • Tender preparation is in process for additional drilling required for infill and step-out drilling on the Bankan Project.

Situated in north-east Guinea, the Bankan Project covers 365km[2 ] across four Exploration Permits – Kaninko, Saman, Bokoro and Argo (Fig. 1). Initial discovery of the now 3.3Moz NE Bankan gold discovery[11] was announced in April 2020[12] .

Following the NE Bankan discovery, the Company quickly completed a number of early-stage exploration programs, including broad spaced auger drilling (now more than 60,000m) and a helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey which confirmed a large major 35km-long north-northwest structural corridor with the potential to host numerous “NE Bankan-style” discoveries.

NE BANKAN

During the December Quarter, the Company continued its program of infill and extensional diamond drilling. Deeper drilling at NE Bankan has now defined a discrete zone of high-grade mineralisation which remains open at depth, plunging steeply to the south. During the Quarter, drilling extended the high-grade zone down dip by up to 150 metres (Figure 2).

Figure 2 - NE Bankan N-S Longitudinal Projection as at 9 December 2021 showing drill results reported during the Quarter (red). Contours are interpreted based on aggregate true width gold gram metres (g*m) calculated using >0.5g/t Au cutoff. Results shown in the form 74/4.5 reflect 74m (aggregate true width) at 4.5 g/t Au (length weighted average Au), with gram metres in brackets (aggregate true width x length weighted average Au). The red central hashed area approximates the plus-3g/t Au high-grade gold mineralised zone as modelled for the MRE.

During the Quarter, results from 10 diamond drill holes totalling 5,963 metres were reported from NE Bankan. Better results received during the Quarter included:

  • BNEDD0093: 20.7m @ 9.6g/t Au from 397m, incl. 12m @ 15.6g/t Au from 400m

CORPORATE

Board Changes

During the Quarter, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Simon Jackson as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company following the resignation of Mr Francis Harper

Mr Jackson was a senior member of the management team of TSX listed Red Back Mining Inc., a company that financed, developed and operated two gold mines in West Africa culminating in a takeover by Kinross Gold Corp in 2010 that valued Red Back at CAD$9.3 billion. He was then founding President & CEO and later Chairman of TSXV listed Orca Gold Inc, a company that discovered and is advancing the Block 14 gold project in Sudan. Mr Jackson is currently Non-executive Chairman of TSXV listed Sarama Resources Limited and has been a director of multiple ASX and TSX listed companies including Cardinal Resources Limited.

The Company also announced that Non-Executive Director, Mr Andrew Pardey, would be appointed Managing Director from 1 January 2022, with current Managing Director, Mr Paul Roberts transitioning to the role of Technical Director.

Mr Pardey served as the CEO of US$1.5 billion LSE/TSX-listed Centamin plc which owns the Sukari Gold Mine in Egypt. He was a major driving force in bringing Sukari into production, having joined during the transition of the operation from construction into production. Mr Pardey also held senior management roles at the Anglogold-Ashanti Siguiri Mine and Nordgold Lefa Mine both of which are located within Guinea’s Siguiri Basin which also hosts Predictive’s Bankan Project.

Government Liaison

The Bankan Project comprises the Kaninko, Saman, Bokoro and Argo Exploration Permits, part of which overlap the outermost buffer zone of the Upper Niger National Park (UNNP), all of which are in good standing and give the Company rights to undertake exploration activities as per the Mining Act. The Company’s exploration activities are compliant with the Mining Act and the Guinean authorities, in particular the Ministry of Mines and Geology and the Ministry of Environment, support its activities.

The NE Bankan and Bankan Creek gold deposits are located within the Kaninko and Saman Exploration Permits, which were granted to the Company’s subsidiary, Mamou Resources SARLU, in October 2019 and June 2020 respectively. Since then, the Company has carried out extensive exploration activities on the Permits, culminating in the recent maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (ASX release – 30 September 2021).

The Company is fully committed to a high standard of ESG performance. The Company has already undertaken a baseline social study and is nearing completion of a baseline environmental study, both of which will provide the basis for the more detailed work required to deliver a fully compliant Environmental and Social Impact Statement prior to application for a Mining Permit.

In early January, the Company provided an update on meetings held with various Government ministries in Guinea. Executive Director, Paul Roberts, and Country Manager, Aimé NGanare, met with the new Minister

Page 14 of 19

of Mines and Geology, Monsieur Moussa Magassouba, and the new Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development, Madame Louopou Lamah, in Conakry.

The Company has developed and presented a proposal to the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MESD) to provide a staged program of assistance to the National Parks Authority (OGPR) for its conservation activities in the Upper Niger National Park (UNNP) during the exploration, development, and mining phases of the Bankan Project. This proposal has been approved by the MESD and includes:

Exploration phase:

  • Provision of supplies to UNNP staff

  • Assistance with seasonal (post-rainy season) fire prevention activities

  • Joint development of a research strategy to support OGPR’s conservation activities in the UNNP.

Mine development and mining phases:

  • Ongoing provision of supplies as above.

  • Provision of various types of equipment and transport capabilities to aid UNNP staff in their conservation-related work in the Mafou Forest and surrounding buffer zone.

  • Financial support for a research foundation intended to facilitate new scientific research by both Guinean national and international groups to address important problems relevant to wildlife conservation in the Mafou Forest.

Since the initial meetings, the Company has received the following documents signed by the Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development:

  • A letter approving the content of the above proposals and assuring support, based on the Guinea Government’s principle of reconciling the needs for economic and social development with protection of the environment. The letter also reaffirmed the legal requirements for development of an Environmental and Social Impact study and operational management plan on the Bankan Project in accordance with the Guinea Government’s high standards.

  • An environmental authorisation validating the Environmental and Social Impact Notice (ESIN) report and covering the four exploration permits which constitute the Bankan Project based on baseline environmental and social studies which the Company has commissioned in recent months. This is a standard legal document issued by the MESD to companies holding exploration permits which endorses the permit holders’ activities in compliance with the Mining Act.

  • Predictive is grateful for the support expressed in the recent discussions. The Company expects to maintain very close contact with the Ministries of Mines and Geology and Environment and
