Bankan Project

www.predictivediscovery.com Predictive Discovery | West Africa's next Tier-1 Gold Mine |

Siguiri Basin

Bankan Project is strategically located in Siguiri Basin, the centre of Guinea's new gold rush

The Siguiri Basin is part of the richly mineralised West African Birimian gold belt

  • Home to some of the largest mines in the region
  • c.17Moz ounce of resources discovered over the last decade and produces about 500Koz Au per year

Siguiri basin is the least explored region within the West African Birimian Greenstone belt, which hosts mines including

  • AngloGold Ashanti's Siguiri Gold Mine (6.96Moz gold resource/ 214Koz production)
  • Nordgold's Lefa Gold Mine (3.1Moz M&I and 1.4Moz Inferred/ 2021 production: 276Koz)
  • Sycamore's Kiniero Gold Project (has produced 418Koz in 12 years)
  • Hummingbird's Kouroussa's Gold Mine (1.18Moz Inferred resource at >3 g/t and expected to produce 100Koz Au at AISC US$900-US$1,000 per oz

Introduction to Bankan Project

West Africa's next Tier-1 gold mine

  • Four contiguous exploration licences covering a 35km-long richly gold endowed super structure
  • Discovery hole to MRE in 17 months
  • 3.65Moz (Inferred) MRE at 1.56 g/t across two separate deposits
    • NE Bankan: 3.3Moz
    • Bankan Creek: 0.34Moz
  • Aggressive drilling programme in place to target deposits over the next 12 months
  • Straightforward open pit project with significant potential for high-grade underground mining
  • Simple metallurgy with conventional processing

Legend

Potential for straightforward open-pit mine

  • Initial scoping-level metallurgical testwork completed has returned excellent gold recoveries under standard test conditions
  • Gold mineralisation confirmed as freemilling with high gold recoveries and amenable to a simple, industry-standard processing
  • Straightforward processing of ore
  • Leach recoveries from all gold mineralisation types ranged from 94.2% to 98.5% under optimised conditions

Bankan Creek – Open in all directions

340Koz only 3km west of the NE Bankan discovery

Bankan Project – high-return drilling campaign

Additional rigs to aggressively target additional ounces and gold discovery

Guinea: West Africa's next mining district

Established Mining Code & fiscal regime

  • Royalty of 5% plus a 1% contribution to Local Development
  • State entitled to 15% free carry
  • Advanced and robust environmental management expectations
  • Latest Guinea Tax Code published in 2021

Stable mining jurisdiction

  • Uninterrupted mining
  • Operators include AngloGold Ashanti, Rio Tinto, Hummingbird, Anglo African Minerals, Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (Alcoa) Positive and proactive two-way communication with Mining and Environmental Ministries
  • Regular engagement at all-levels
  • Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development approval for conservation activities in the Upper Niger National Park through exploration, development and operation phases

Bankan Project – Significant growth potential

Significant evidence structural corridor has potential to host numerous "NE Bankan-style" discoveries

NE Bankan

A high-grade core zone at the centre of the deposit

Estimated contained ounces in the lowermost 100m (vertical extent) of the +3g/t Au component of the resource block model were 500,000oz gold or 5,000 oz/vertical metre*

Company to test depth and strike extensions to this zone

  • Drilling to ascertain ability to significantly add to resource ounces in the next MRE update
  • Drilling is now in progress with two drill rigs to test this zone at depth
  • 5-6more rigs to be added to build out and prove up resource base

Bankan Creek

Follow-up aircore drilling has obtained substantial gold intercepts on four prospects so far, three of which are within 3km of NE Bankan

All are open along strike and at depth and require follow-up deeper drilling

5-6 more now added to build out and prove up resource base

Notes to Resource table:

    1. The Mineral Resource is estimated with all drilling data available at 11th September 2021. Drillholes BNERD0090 and BNERD0091(reported to ASX on 16 September 2021) were included in the resource database.
    1. The Mineral Resource is reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 Edition at a 0.5g/t cut-off.
    1. The Competent Person is Phil Jankowski MAusIMM (CP) of CSA Global.
    1. The Mineral Resources are constrained by optimised pit shells using a metal price of USD1,800 per ounce Au and process recovery of 94%.
    1. Rounding may lead to minor apparent discrepancies.
