Drilling Program Commences in Burkina Faso
Predictive Discovery Limited ( ASX: PDI ) is pleased to announce that the planned 3,000m drilling program on its Eastern Burkina Faso Gold Project (Figure 1) commenced on 12[th] December 2012 following the end of the wet season.
The drilling program will test five prospects that hold potential for high grade gold deposits – Bongou, Prospect 71, Madyabari, Tambiri South and Solna. High grade intercepts have been recorded at four of the prospects previously, including:
Bongou (PDI drilling):
20m at 4.8g/t Au from 70m (only hole drilled to date)
Solna (PDI drilling):
6m at 20g/t Au from 40 m
2m at 56g/t Au from 65 m
7m at 13g/t Au from 117 m
Tambiri South (1 km south of high grade Tambiri Prospect):
6m at 5.2g/t Au from 90 m (historical drilling)
Prospect 71 :
4m at 15g/t Au from 23 m (historical drilling)
4m at 7.1g/t Au from 20 m (PDI drilling)
This program is focused on testing high grade targets revealed by earlier exploration work. PDI’s objective is to identify the prospects with the best combination of high grade and ore continuity to enable follow-up drill programs which can delineate mineral resources rapidly and cost efficiently.
The drilling has commenced at Bongou and will proceed to Prospect 71 and then Madyabari, the recently announced high grade, artisanal gold rush area. The rig will then move up to the Bangaba permit to test Solna and Tambiri South.
Samples will be submitted for analysis progressively during the program. The first assay results are expected in January 2013 and will be released as they come to hand.

Drilling at Bongou is testing along strike to the east and west from the initial high grade intersection. The planned holes at Madyabari are aimed at three or more flat veins as reported by the artisanal miners, some parts of which appear to contain very high gold grades. At Prospect 71 and Tambiri South , the drill holes will test at depth and along strike from historical holes with high grades. At Solna , the drilling will seek to confirm the current shallow-plunging ore shoot model by infill and extension drilling along strike from earlier high grade gold intercepts.

About Predictive Discovery:
Predictive Discovery Limited (PDI) was established in late 2007 to explore for gold and uranium. The Company is focused principally on exploration for gold in West Africa with one additional gold project in Australia. PDI has a distinctive technological capability, known as Predictore [TM] , which is designed to increase drill targeting efficiency thereby reducing ore discovery cost. The Company’s major focus is in Burkina Faso, West Africa where it has assembled a substantial regional ground position totalling 1,544km[2] and is exploring for large open-pittable gold ore deposits.
