AC DRILLING IDENTIFIES NEW GOLD PROSPECTS AT BANKAN

Predictive Discovery Limited (“Predictive” or “Company”) is pleased to announce new results from regional aircore (AC) and power auger drilling at its Bankan Gold Project, located in Guinea.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Highly encouraging new assays received from 49 shallow AC holes completed within 5km of the main NE Bankan deposit and also on the Argo permit (Figures 1-2), including:

  • BKAC0027: 12m @ 1.5g/t Au from 12m, incl. 4m @ 3.3g/t Au from 16m

  • BKAC0028: 14m @ 3.4g/t Au from 20m, incl. 2m @ 15.2g/t Au to EOH

  • BKAC0032: 10m @ 1.7g/t Au from 12m, incl. 4m @ 3.9g/t Au from 14m

  • BKAC0066: 8m @ 3.3g/t Au from 6m, incl. 4m @ 6.3g/t Au from 6m

  • BKAC0016 (upgraded and re-released following re-assay of plus-100g/t Au result):

16m @ 2.3g/t Au from surface, incl. 2m @ 7.5g/t Au from 2m, and

28m @ 12.8g/t Au from 22m, incl. 6m @ 52g/t Au , incl. 1m @ 110g/t Au

  • Regional exploration is ongoing with AC drilling across the Company’s 356km[2 ] Bankan Project area.

  • More than 90% of the Bankan Project remains untested by any drilling. Power auger drilling will resume once the dry season commences, now expected in November.

  • Diamond drilling is ongoing at NE Bankan with two multi-purpose drill rigs currently drilling holes at depths between 500 and 550m below surface, exploring for extensions to the high-grade gold zone.

  • Results are pending from four DD holes testing between 400 and 450m below surface, and positioned beneath the US $1,800 optimised pit shell.

Managing Director, Paul Roberts said:

“These new results provide more confirmation of the extent of gold mineralised locations in the area surrounding NE Bankan and Bankan Creek, reinforcing our strong belief that additional resource ounces will be defined in close proximity to both ore deposits as we follow up with infill and extension drilling on new gold prospects as they emerge from the Aircore reconnaissance drill program.”

Bankan Regional Drilling

Following discovery of the NE Bankan deposit, the Company undertook a helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey on a 100m-line spacing covering the entire project area. A detailed geological interpretation based on processed magnetic data over the immediate NE Bankan area showed that gold mineralisation coincides with the intersection of a series of ENE-orientated and NW orientated magnetic linears, on or close to the contact between granitic rocks and mafic volcanics.

These lithological and structural elements controlling mineralisation recognised at NE Bankan have provided a model for gold exploration across the Bankan Project with potential to host multiple “NE Bankan-style” gold discoveries.

The Company has deployed one AC and two power auger rigs to follow-up on the new targets with more than 10,000m of AC and power auger drilling completed in the past 4 months. AC and power auger are both fast and relatively cheap exploration methods, and have proven to be highly effective for making new discoveries on the Bankan Project.

In this release, the Company reports results of 49 AC holes totalling 1,655m, many within only 5km of the main NE Bankan deposit (Figure 2) along with some results from the AG3 target on the Argo permit (Figure 1).

Approximately 800m northwest of the NE Bankan deposit, two 80m spaced traverses of AC drilling were carried out to follow up plus-0.25 g/t Au auger drill anomalies which included 7m @ 4.27g/t Au from 12m to end of hole (KKOAU1382)[1] . Encouraging results were returned in most holes including best intersections (Figures 2 and 3) of:

  • BKAC0027: 12m @ 1.5g/t Au from 12m, incl. 4m @ 3.3g/t Au from 16m

  • BKAC0028: 14m @ 3.4g/t Au from 20m, incl. 2m @ 15.2g/t Au to EOH

The close proximity of these new gold results and others, both to the north and west of the NE Bankan deposit highlight the expanding potential of the Bankan Project.

In the Bankan Creek area, a pair of scissor holes (BKAC0032-33) were drilled east and west respectively to test the orientation of mineralisation beneath an auger gold intercept of 4m @ 1.7g/t Au from 8m (KKOAU1222[2] ), approximately 150m northwest of Bankan Creek. Both holes intersected encouraging oxide

gold mineralisation with a best result of 10m @ 1.7g/t Au from 12m in BKAC0032 which includes 4m @ 3.9g/t Au from 14m. Further drilling is required to follow up this and other AC drill results.

Several regional power auger grids were completed on new exploration targets including AG3 at Argo, and SA2 and SA4 (Figure 1), before drilling was suspended due to wet ground conditions. A total of 385 holes for 7,996m were completed with significant results reported in Table 2.

Better results received at Argo include 16m @ 0.8g/t Au from surface in BKAU0811. In addition, AC hole BKAC0050 at AG3 intersected 12m @ 0.9g/t Au from 4m in saprolite with quartz veining. Assessment of these targets based on these new drill results is ongoing.

Full results and a complete explanation of the methods followed in drilling and assaying the reported holes can be found in Tables 1-3.

COMPETENT PERSONS STATEMENT

The exploration results reported herein are based on information compiled by Mr Paul Roberts (Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists). Mr Roberts is a full-time employee of the company and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits being considered to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Roberts consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Project Background

The Bankan gold camp is situated in north-east Guinea in West Africa. The project is 550km by road from Guinea’s capital Conakry within the region of Upper Guinea and is 10km west of the regional administrative centre of Kouroussa (Figure 4). In September 2021 the Company reported its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Bankan Project, resulting in an Inferred Resource of 72.8Mt averaging 1.56g/t Au for 3.65

Page 5 of 13

million ounces of gold[3] , 91% of which came from NE Bankan, all for a very low resource discovery cost of $4/oz.

The Bankan project area covers 356km[2 ] in four exploration permits, Kaninko, Saman, Bokoro and Argo. Three permits are held by wholly owned subsidiaries of Predictive. The fourth, Argo, is held in a joint venture with the owners of local company Argo Mining SARLU, through which the Company has the right to acquire a 100% equity interest at decision to mine.

Gold mineralisation in the central portion of the NE Bankan prospect is strongly controlled by a major, northtrending west-dipping shear zone (the “hangingwall shear zone”), with most gold mineralisation including the high-grade zone located immediately below that shear zone within the felsic intrusive. Resource modelling indicates that the deep high-grade gold intercepts form a coherent body of high-grade mineralisation at a 3g/t Au cut-off grade. Depth extensions to the high-grade gold zone will increase potential for underground mining and are expected to add significantly to the Company’s resource inventory.

Notes: Only significant results are shown in this table. Power auger drilling is carried out with a 4WD mounted auger rig capable of
drilling vertical holes up to 30m deep. The target depth on this drill program was 20m. Up to 6 samples were collected in 4m intervals
and assayed for gold. The prepared drill samples were sent to the SGS laboratory in Bamako, Mali for pulverisation and fire assay gold
analysis. Reported results are for a calculated length-weighted composite starting from a depth of 4m (the average thickness of the
laterite – which is partly transported) to the end of each hole in Kaninko and Saman, and from 0m at Argo (no transported regolith
issue identified to date). The RL range for the power auger grid in the project areas are shown above in metres. Individual RLs are not

Explanation
Commentary
Sampling Technique Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling Include
reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Samples assayed were Aircore (AC) drill chips/core and Power Auger (Auger).
Auger: In all the power auger drill holes reported here, 2kg composite samples
were collected for every 4m downhole interval.
AC: Individual one metre samples were collected from the cyclone and weighed.
Each sample was then riffle split producing a 1kg split sample. Two metre
composite samples weighing approximately 2kg were submitted to the assay
laboratory by combining the individual 1kg riffle split sample from each metre
into a single bag.
All samples were dried, crushed and pulverised at the SGS laboratory in Bamako
to produce a 50g fire assay charge with Au analysed by FAA505.
Duplicate samples were retained for re-assay.
Sampling was supervised by qualified geologists.
Drilling Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open- hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
AC: Drilling company is IPGS (Industry Petroleum and Gas of Senegal)
Drill type is Aircore using a 3.5 inch diameter coring blade. Where hard layers
including quartz veins were encountered the blade was switched to a face
sampling AC/RC hammer bit.
Auger: Power auger drilling was carried out by ADS (African Drilling Services) using
4WD-mounted power auger rig.
Drill Sample Recovery Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Each 1 metre drill sample was weighed.
AC: Sample recoveries were in general high and no unusual measures were taken to
maximise sample recovery. Where samples became too wet or sample recovery and
quality decreased holes were stopped.
Significant sample bias is not expected with riffle splitting of saprolitic materials.
Auger: Sample recovery is not assessed for power auger drilling as it is a geochemical
method. In general, however, recoveries are good because the hole has to be cleared
by the screw-type rods in order for the drill rods to advance downwards.

Logging Whether core and chip samples
have been geologically and
geotechnical logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Whether logging is qualitative
or quantitative in nature. Core
(or costean/Trench, channel,
etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.
All drill samples were logged systematically for lithology, weathering and alteration and
minor minerals. Minor minerals are estimated quantitively.
None of the samples will not be used in a Mineral Resource estimation.
Sub-Sampling
Technique and
Sample Preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken. If non-core, whether riffled,
tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted
for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling. Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
materialbeing sampled.
AC: The samples were collected by riffle splitting samples from large bags
collected directly from the cyclone on the drill rig. Sample condition is generally
dry or moist, however some samples are wet.
Auger: Each 4m to 5m interval in the composite interval was subsampled using a
scoop. No field duplicates were collected. One field duplicate was taken and
assayed every 50 samples.
The sampling methods are considered adequate for an AC and Auger drilling
program of this type.
Quality of Assay Data
and Laboratory Tests
The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
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 but not Auger drilling.
Duplicate and standards analyses were all returned 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.
No twin holes have been drilled for Auger. For AC some abandoned shallow AC
blade holes were redrilled with AC Hammer within 5m radius. These may be

Accuracy and quality of surveysused
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 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 followup 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
Auger: Holes were located on 320m x 80m and 80m x 80m grids. This type of
drilling is not appropriate for the calculation of any Mineral Resource estimate.
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.
There is very limited outcrop in the area but based on the Bankan NE deposit to the
north, and east west line orientation with holes inclined to the west and east was
considered most likely to test the target anomalies.
Sample Security The measures taken to ensure
sample security
Large samples are stored in guarded location close to the nearby Bankan
Village.
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.
Coarse rejects and pulps will be eventually recovered from SGS in Bamako and
stored at Predictive’s field office in Kouroussa.
Audits or Reviews The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data
No reviews or audits of sampling techniques were conducted.

The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a
licenceto operatein the area.
The Bankan Gold Project comprises 4 exploration permits, Kaninko (PDI 100%),
Saman (PDI 100%), Bokoro (PDI 100%) and Argo JV (right to earn 100% in JV with
local partner). Permits are held by Predictive subsidiaries in Guinea or in a joint
venture structure. Parts of the Kaninko and Saman permits overlap the
outermost buffer zone (or “transitional area”) of the Upper Niger National Park.

Acknowledgment and appraisal
ofexplorationby otherparties.
Predictive is not aware of any significant previous gold exploration over the
permit.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
The geology of the permits consists of mafic volcanics and intrusives, granitic
rocks and minor metasediments.
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
See the accompanying notes and Tables in this release.

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.
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 in
detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearlystated.
All mineralised intervals are reported on a weighted average basis.
AC: Drill sampling was in two metre composites intervals. Up to 2m (down-hole) of
internal waste is included for results reported at the 0.25g/t Au cut-off grade.
Auger: Kaninko and Saman area gold results are averaged from 4m depth to end of
hole. This removes the effect of false transported anomalies in laterite. For the Argo
area, no transported effects have been noted to date therefore gold results are
averaged from surface to end of hole.
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, true width
not known’).
True widths have not been estimated as the overall orientation of mineralised
zones is not known.
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 map and cross sections are included in this release.
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.
Comprehensive reporting of the drill results is provided in Table 1.
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 other exploration data on this area has been reported previously by PDI.
Further Work The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or large scale step out
drilling.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
The AC results form part of an ongoing regional exploration drill program to
follow up power auger drilling soil anomalies. Regional power auger drilling is
also ongoing testing new target areas.
