REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the half-year, the Company continued to focus on advancing its Bankan Project, a Tier-1 gold project located in Guinea, West Africa.
In August 2023, the Bankan Project’s Mineral Resource increased to 100.5Mt @ 1.66g/t for 5.38Moz[1] , representing a 29% increase in contained gold compared to the previous 4.18Moz Mineral Resource. Increases were achieved across all of the NEB Open Pit, NEB Underground and BC Open Pit Mineral Resources, and importantly a total of 4.14Moz was upgraded to the Indicated category.

1 ASX announcement “Bankan Mineral Resource Increases to 5.38Moz” dated 7 August 2023.
Due to the significance of the Mineral Resource increase and upgrade, combined with the advanced level of work being completed, the Company announced in October 2023 that the Bankan Project study had been upgraded from a Scoping Study to a PFS (including maiden Ore Reserves), which will materially improve the level of certainty of the Project. To achieve PFS-level across the entire study, additional work is required in areas such as geotechnical, mine design and cost estimation, and the completion date was therefore revised to Q1 2024 (previously end of 2023 for the Scoping

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 871 877
Study). The PFS and the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment continued to progress and remain on track to be completed during Q1 2024.
Following completion of the updated Mineral Resource estimate, PDI increased its focus on exploring and drilling multiple Argo and near-resource targets.
At Argo, which is located 15-20km north of NEB, PDI is aiming to discover additional commercial gold deposits which have the potential to host additional major gold discoveries. Multiple targets were identified through geochemical auger drilling and geophysics. During the half-year, PDI completed an initial 49-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program and commenced a follow-up RC and aircore (AC) drilling program, which is ongoing.
Encouraging results were received at a number of Argo targets during the half-year, including:
-
Fouwagbe : 12m @ 6.75g/t, 4m @ 12.14g/t, 4m @ 4.81g/t and 6m @ 1.56g/t at a 600m long multi-element auger anomaly coincident with artisanal workings[2,3,4] ;
-
Sinkoumba : 4m @ 6.87g/t and 2m @ 10.90g/t in the same corridor as Fouwagbe[4] ;
-
Sounsoun : two parallel north-west dipping structures intersected at the north-eastern end of a 1.8km long auger anomaly, with best results of 5m @ 5.16g/t and 9m @ 1.04g/t[3] ;
-
Naladioulou-Gbata : 9m @ 4.42g/t at an auger anomaly and 1m @ 30.40g/t on trend 700m to the south-west near artisanal workings[3] ;
-
Tindini : Best result of 14m @ 1.97g/t[3] .
Near-resource drilling is aiming to discover additional deposits which can support an operation centred around the NEB and BC deposits. The drilling program is progressively testing numerous areas in the vicinity of the NEB and BC deposits and following up the most promising targets with additional drilling.
During the half year, best results were received from the 800W, SB and SEB targets, which are showing potential to become future satellite deposits. Best results from these targets included[3,4] :
-
800W : 16m @ 1.74g/t, 11m @ 2.42g/t, 9.5m @ 2.73g/t, 9m @ 2.72g/t and 11m @ 1.91g/t;
-
SB : 3m @ 13.40g/t, 9m @ 3.30g/t, 10m @ 1.84g/t and 6.75m @ 1.96g/t;
-
SEB : 3m @ 27.66g/t, 2m @ 3.96g/t, 1m @ 12.80g/t, 2m @ 3.84g/t, 4m @ 2.47g/t and 3m @ 4.68g/t.
Encouraging results were also received at other near-resource targets, including NEB North, NEB South and BC East.
Compliance Statement
Predictive confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the exploration results or mineral resource estimates included in any original ASX announcement and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the mineral resource estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial half-year.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE SHEET DATE
Subsequent to the half-year end, results were announced in February 2024 for 131 holes for 9,355m of exploration drilling at Argo and near-resource.[5] At Argo, drilling at the high-priority Sounsoun target intersected four mineralised structures over a 700m strike length so far (of the 1.8km auger anomaly). Best new results included 2m @ 7.76g/t from 38m, 6m @ 2.11g/t from 11m, 6m @ 1.62g.t from 158m and 6m @ 1.54g/t from 20m. Near-resource drilling delivered further positive results from the SB and SEB targets. At SB, best results included 3m @ 8.28g/t from 2.8m, 7m @ 1.51g/t from 19m, 9m @ 1.38g/t from 244m and 8m @ 1.12g/t from 195m. The best result at SEB was 2.9m @ 14.50g/t from 194m.

PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 127 871 877
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
This consolidated interim financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2023 are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, as appropriate for a profit-oriented entity. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS134: Interim Financial Reporting.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with the resolution of directors, on 8 March 2024.
The interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Predictive Discovery Limited and controlled entities (the Group). This interim consolidated financial report does not include all the notes normally included in an annual financial report. It is therefore recommended that this interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2023, together with any public announcements made during the half year. The same accounting policies and methods of valuation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial report.
(b) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group incurred a loss of $3,004,558 (2022: $8,538,377) and incurred cash outflows from operating activities of $20,434,685 (2022: $32,237,766) for the half year ended 31 December 2023. As at 31 December 2023 the Group had net assets of $125,276,489 (30 June 2023: $128,843,226) and continues to incur expenditure on its exploration tenements drawing on its cash balances.
The ability of the Company and the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Company successfully raising additional share capital and ultimately developing its mineral properties. The Directors believe that they will continue to be successful in securing additional funds through equity issues as and when the need to raise working capital arises. Considering the cashflow projection for projects it is noted that the cash surplus position would be significantly depleted in the next 12 months, however no material uncertainty exists as approximately $6m of projected outflow is discretionary and could be avoided if required.
The financial report has been prepared on the basis that the Group can meet its commitments as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities, and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial report does not include any adjustments in relation to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as going concern.
(c) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to the Group’s accounting policies.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the Group.

The Group has capitalised exploration expenditure of $102,907,736 (30 June 2023: $87,201,892). This amount includes costs directly associated with exploration and the purchase of exploration properties. These costs are capitalised as an exploration asset until assessment and / or drilling of the permit is complete and the results have been evaluated. These direct costs include employee remuneration, materials, permit rentals and payments to contractors. The expenditure is carried forward until such a time as the area moves into the development phase, is abandoned or sold. The ultimate recovery of the carrying value of exploration expenditure is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the interest in the tenements.

NOTE 10: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS Contingent Assets
According to Guinean tax law, value added tax (VAT) paid in relation to the Company’s Guinea tenements may be recovered from the Guinea tax authorities if these tenements progress to the development phase. No asset has been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as there is currently no certainty that these tenements will reach the development phase or that the total VAT will be fully recovered in this event. However, a contingent asset exists of $4,284,714 at 31 Dec 2023 (June 2023: $3,643,956) relating to total VAT paid to date. A total of $698,618 VAT was paid to the Guinea tax authorities during the half-year period to 31 December 2023 which was expensed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and foreign exchange gain of $57,860 relating to the VAT was recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporation Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
