60,000-METER DRILLING PROGRAM UNDERWAY AT BANKAN SUPPORTED BY KEY APPOINTMENTS
HIGHLIGHTS
-
60,000-meter Diamond (DD) and Reverse Cycle (RC) drilling program underway, expected to significantly increase and upgrade the inferred 3.65Moz Bankan gold Resource[1] .
-
Six drill rigs currently on site with extension and infill drilling underway at both the NE Bankan and Bankan Creek gold deposits, with an updated Resource estimate expected early Q3 2022.
-
Predictive is pleased to announce the following key appointments as the Company continues to build an experienced management team that can bring a Tier-1 gold deposit into production:
-
Pierre Louw, Chief Financial Officer: +35 years’ experience in Africa, including Tanzania, Egypt, Zambia and South Africa. He was previously CFO for Centamin plc, Financial Director of the Lumwana Mining Company in Zambia (Equinox), and Finance and Business Manager of Geita Gold Mine, Tanzania.
-
Marlyatou Balde, Country Manager: Geologist with more than 25 years’ experience both in Guinea and internationally, holding senior roles with AngloGold Ashanti, Barrick and BHP. Most recently, Mrs Balde worked as Technical Advisor to Guinea’s Minister of Mines and Geology.
-
Andre Pieters, ESG Manager: Mining Engineer with +30 years’ experience in hard rock mining underground and open pit, including at the Kinross Tasiast mine. Most recently he worked in Guinea, leading the environmental compliance program for a major bauxite exporter.
-
Chris Boreham, Project Feasibility Manager: Mining Engineer with +30 years’ experience in hard rock mining underground and open pit, with extensive experience in gold and copper mines, narrow view and bulk deposits and delivering successful feasibility studies across Australia, China and Africa.

ASX: PDI | 19 May 2022
-
Baseline environmental studies underway, including stakeholder mapping and engagement (communities, government ministries, regulators, local interest groups, NGOs), Protected Area Assessment, Critical Habitat Assessment and Dry & Wet season surveys (cameras, aerial drone scanning, acoustic, eDNA).
-
Predictive expects to deliver a comprehensive Scoping Study to the Government of Guinea by the end of 2023 and is well positioned to become Guinea’s largest gold mine within five years with a clear strategy to grow the resource base and take Bankan into production.
-
Assays received from Koundian Gold Project, also located within Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, with an 82-hole (3,748m) air core (AC) drilling program targeting a series of structural, rock geochemical and auger gold anomalies.
-
A sample of high-grade results from 63 AC holes include:
-
KDNAC0010: 6m @ 3.1g/t Au from 18m
-
KDNAC0016: 2m @ 2.9g/t Au from 6m
-
KDNAC0026: 6m @ 3.3g/t Au from 18m
-
KDNAC0043: 12m @ 1.3g/t Au from 6m
-
Rock chip sampling returned a best result of 18.8g/t Au with 26% of samples >1.0g/t Au.
-
Drilling at Koundian is designed to test a series of promising structural positions interpreted from the 2021 aeromagnetic survey and strong auger results.
-
Initial AC drilling and ongoing rock chip sampling continues to confirm that gold mineralisation is widespread through the permits.
-
Koundian is strategically located along strike from the Managem Group’s 2Moz Tri-K gold deposits.
Managing Director Andrew Pardey comments: “We are delighted to welcome our four new senior leaders who will support our goal of developing and building Guinea’s next gold mine. With the asset’s proximity to Haut Niger National Park and our commitment to local engagement, we will continue to develop an 18-month best practice biodiversity management program.
On the exploration front, drilling at the Bankan Project is ramping up with more rigs and a 60,000meter program to compliment several baseline environmental studies - all are now underway. Our goal is to deliver a comprehensive Scoping Study to the Government of Guinea by the end of 2023, putting us in a strong position to develop and build the country’s largest gold mine.
ASX: PDI | 19 May 2022
The new assay results at Koundian are particularly encouraging as, together with the drilling results announced from NE Bankan in April, show the potential of Predictive’s highly prospective land package, all of which is located within Guinea’s prolific Siguiri Basin. The Koundian project is strategically located along strike from the Managem Group’s 2Moz Tri-K gold deposits, with the southern permit boundary just 7km north of the Koulekoun deposit, which hosts 1.2 Moz at 1.52g/t gold. We look forward to receiving more samples from the AC drilling and rock chip sampling.”
Koundian Gold Project
Located within the Birimian-age Siguiri Basin approximately 115km east-northeast of the Company’s 3.65Moz Bankan Gold Project (Fig. 1), the Koundian Project contains widespread gold mineralisation including multiple gold mineralised sites and strong gold values.

Figure 1 - Predictive’s Guinea Portfolio with Koundian Project highlighted, 115km ENE of the Company’s 3.65Moz Bankan Project.
First pass power auger drilling was completed at Koundian in 2021 with multiple artisanal sites extending over several kilometres and very limited bedrock outcrop, presenting excellent potential for the discovery of a new continuously mineralised gold system.
ASX: PDI | 19 May 2022
Results from 63 holes, totalling 2,854m, are reported in this release with the drilling carried out on a series of traverses testing potentially well mineralised structures including two areas of extensive shallow artisanal gold workings (Figures 2-4).
New results included a best intercept of 6m @ 3.1g/t Au from 18m (KDNAC0010). The 2m composite AC drill samples were assayed by fire assay at SGS in Bamako (Mali). Detailed results and a complete explanation of the methods followed in drilling and assaying the reported holes are provided in Tables 1 and 3.
A 63-sample rock chip program returned multiple +2g/t Au values with a peak result of 18.8g/t Au in brecciated haematitic quartz veins to the south in exploration permit SMK2. A total of 26% of all samples reported >1g/t Au.

Both the AC drilling and rock chip results continue to confirm the presence of widespread gold mineralisation in the project area.
The exploration program at Koundian remains in its infancy with strong auger gold anomalies and prospective structural targets yet to be tested by ongoing AC drilling.
The 2021 aeromagnetic survey over the project area showed a series of structural features that may have controlled the localisation of the more extensive gold mineralisation than the narrow veins which are widespread across the permit area. Of particular note are a series of NE oriented features,

the strongest pair of which form a corridor that includes the highest-grade power auger drill results reported in 2021.

The results of these QC check as well as the laboratory standards, blanks, duplicates and checks indicate the analytical results are suitable for a geochemical drilling program and indicate no bias. All samples were assayed by SGS technique FAA505 for gold with a detection limit of 5ppb Au. All samples with gold values exceeding 10g/t Au were re-assayed using SGS method FAA515 with a detection limit of 0.01g/t Au. Field duplicates, standards and blank samples were each submitted for every 15 samples on a rotating basis for AC drilling. Duplicate and standards analyses were within acceptable limits of expected values. |

| Verification of Sampling and Assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. Discuss any adjustment to assay data |
At this stage, the intersections have not been verified independently. For AC some abandoned shallow AC blade holes were redrilled with AC Hammer within 5m radius. These may be considered twin holes in part but technically no twin holes were drilled during this program. No adjustment is assay data has been made. This question is not applicable to rock chip sample results. |
| Location of Data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used tolocate drill holes (collar and down- hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used Quality and adequacy of topographic control |
Drill hole collar and rock chip sample locations were recorded at the completion of each hole by hand-held GPS. Positional data was recorded in projection WGS84 UTM Zone 29N. Relative height levels (RL) are relative to Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) and assigned by draping collars on DTM surface determined from aerial geophysical survey. Hole locations may be re-surveyed using a digital GPS system later. |
| Data Spacing and Distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied |
AC: The drill holes were designed to follow up previously defined >0.25g/t Au auger soil anomalies. Holes were either drilled heel to toe along traverses, or as scissor pairs in opposite directions at each target. Hole target depths and spacing were nominally 50m or as modified for heel to toe coverage. The intention of the drilling is to obtain a complete sample of the oxidised gold mineralisation and provide some indication of gold mineralisation orientations. All holes were angle drilled at 50 or 55 degrees. The adequacy of the current drill hole spacing for Mineral Resource estimation is not yet known as an appropriate understanding of mineralisation and continuity has not yet been established. This question is not applicable to rock chip sample results. |
| Orientation of Data in Relation to Geological Structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Most of the reported AC holes are located on north-south lines to test NE orientated structures inferred from aeromagnetics as well as with variable bedding and quartz vein orientations (ranging from NE to NW and generally dipping to the north) which are optimally tested by drilling towards the south. This question is not applicable to rock chip sample results. |
| Sample Security | The measures taken to ensure sample security |
Reference samples are stored at PDI’s sample store in Kouroussa, Guinea. Samples were split and sealed (tied off in calico or plastic bags) at the drill site. All samples picked for analyses are placed in clearly marked bags and were stored securely on site before being picked up and transported to Bamako by SGS truck. |

|Exploration Done
by Other Parties|Acknowledgment and
appraisal of exploration by
other parties.|Geological mapping, geochemical sampling and limited drilling was conducted by
Drake Resources, as ASX-listed company (formerly ASX: DRK) in 2014-15. Results
of this work were reported by DRK at that time and also in PDI AX release dated 7
April 2020 and 31 May2021.|
|Geology|Deposit type, geological
setting and style of
mineralisation.|The permits lie within the Siguiri Basin in NE Guinea. The geology includes fine
grained metasedimentary rocks, mafic volcanics and intrusives, and possible
granitic rocks.|
|Drill Hole Information|A summary of all information
material to the understanding of
the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill
holes:
•
easting and northing of
the drill hole collar
•
elevation or RL (Reduced
Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill
hole collar
•
dip and azimuth of the hole
•
down hole length and
interception depth
•
hole length
•
If the exclusion of this
information is justified on
the basis that the
information is not Material
and
this exclusion does not
detract from the
understanding of the
report, the Competent
Person should clearly
explain why this is the
case.|The required information is provided in Table 1.|
|Data Aggregation
Methods|In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades
are usually Material and should
be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations
should be shown indetail.|No weighted average or truncation methods were used for the AC drill results. No
cut-off grade was applied in the average grade calculation.
This question is not applicable to rock chip sample results.|

|Relationship Between
Mineralisation Widths
and Intercept Lengths|These relationships are
particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported. If it
is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to
this effect (eg ‘down hole length,
truewidth not known’).|True widths cannot be estimated for the AC drill results as the orientation of
the underlying weathered rocks is not known.
This question is not applicable to rock chip sample results.|
|Diagrams|Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being
reported These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.|Appropriate maps are provided in Figures 3-4.|
|Balanced Reporting|Where comprehensive reporting
of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative
reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.|All results are reported in Tables 1 and 2.|
|Other
Substantive
Exploration Data|Other exploration data, if
meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not
limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment;
metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating
substances.|All exploration data on this area gathered before Predictive commenced
exploration was reported by Drake Resources (ASX: DRK) in 2014-2015.|
