  • KKOAU1618 : 18m @ 0.24g/t Au from 4m

  • KKOAU1619 : 21m @ 0.56g/t Au from 4m.

  • The auger drilling continues to identify evidence of widespread gold in saprolite beneath shallow lateritic cover across the Bankan Project, providing numerous targets for follow-up by Air Core (AC) drilling.

  • Results were also received from NE Bankan core holes BNERD0018A and BNERD0069 (Figure 4), respectively from the northern and southern extensions of the NE Bankan gold mineralised system, but outside of the core gold mineralised zone. Better results included:

  • BNERD0018A: 25m @ 0.51g/t from 106m

  • BNERD0069: 21m @ 1.27g/t from 112m, including 15m @ 1.59g/t Au from 118m

  • While diamond drilling of depth extensions of the core gold mineralised zone at NE Bankan is ongoing with two rigs, the third drill rig has now moved to Bankan Creek for RC infill drilling on 40m spaced lines over a 320m strike length. Results from this drilling will contribute to the Maiden Resource Estimate for the Bankan Project.

Managing Director Paul Roberts commented: “It is still very early days in our regional Bankan exploration program following up the recent aeromagnetic survey targets. We are very encouraged by these first results, which are providing good indications of widespread gold values in weathered bedrock (saprolite) and some high grade gold at AG1 - the first of our new targets.

We have already identified shallow gold mineralisation from auger drilling closer to NE Bankan and Bankan Creek, which we will follow up with AC drilling in the next month. Further AC drilling will be planned on the new northern targets over the next few months after we get a clearer picture from the ongoing auger drilling program.”

Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI, Predictive or the Company) is pleased to announce further results from regional and resource drilling at the Company’s Bankan Project. Predictive has made two significant gold discoveries within 18 months – at the NE Bankan and Bankan Creek prospects through the successful application of power auger drilling.

ASX: PDI | 13[th] May 2021

Power auger drilling is a rapid and cost-effective exploration method for the collection of weathered bedrock samples below tracts of lateritic and transported cover.

Power Auger Drill Results

With the recent aeromagnetic survey identifying nine high priority regional gold drill targets along a major 35km-long NNW structural corridor, the Company is using power auger drilling to test each area, targeting shallow oxide gold mineralisation in deeply weathered bedrock. Such zones can extend down into fresh rock with thick widths and good continuity, as demonstrated at the NE Bankan and Bankan Creek prospects.

The auger holes reported here were located on the Argo permit on Target AG1 and AG2 (Figure 1) as well as from the large auger grid encompassing the area around and between the NE Bankan, Bankan Creek and Bankan West prospects (Figure 2). Results from 386 holes, totalling 8,735m are reported in this release. Encouraging gold values were returned in numerous holes including Argo auger hole BKAU0175, which intersected 12m @ 9.84g/t Au from 4m .

More holes have now been drilled on the AG2 target, south of AG1 and results are pending.

Ongoing Bankan Exploration

Two power auger rigs are currently active on the Bankan Project. The immediate focus of the current auger program is to explore for gold mineralisation on structural targets AG2, BK1 and SA1, identified from the recently completed aeromagnetic survey.

RC and diamond drilling continues with two rigs currently diamond drilling at NE Bankan and one rig RC drilling Bankan Creek, all of which is designed to support the Maiden Resource Estimate, planned for Q3-2021.

Metallurgical test work is expected to begin this month. Core samples are currently being prepared on site and will be air freighted to Australia in the next week.

Notes: 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 5 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 (colour coded) 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. The RL range for the power auger grid in the project areas are shown above in metres. Individual
RLs are not reported in this announcement because theyare not relevant to interpretingauger drill data of this type.

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.
The sampling described in this report refers to power auger drill samples, as well
as surface geochemical samples which includes trenching and rock sampling.
In all the power auger drill holes reported here, 2kg composite samples were
collected for every 4m downhole.
In all the trench sampling reported here, ~2.5 kg composite samples were
collected for every 2m along the trench.
All samples including individual reconnaissance rock chips were submitted for fire
assay Au (FAA515) analysis at the SGS laboratory in Bamako.
Drilling Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open- hole hammer,

The power drilling was carried out using 4WD-mounted power auger rigs.
Trenches of 2.5m deep by 2m wide were dug using a backhoe. The floor of the trench
was then channel sampled using hammer and chisel.

preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.|Drill core:
Sample recoveries were measured in the normal way for diamond drill core.
Core recoveries were generally excellent except for the saprolite where some
core loss was experienced owing to clayey core being washed out in the
diamond drilling process. Given that most of these saprolite core loss zones
were obtained in mineralised intervals, grade is probably underestimated in
those sections as zones of core loss are assumed to contain no gold.
Significant sample bias is not expected with cut core.
RC chips:
Each 1 metre drill sample was weighed.
Sample recoveries were in general high and no unusual measures were taken
to maximise sample recovery.
Significant sample bias is not expected with riffle splitting of RC chips.|
|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,
alteration, veining, structure and minor minerals. Minor minerals were
estimated quantitively. A core orientation device was employed enabling
orientated structural measurements to be taken.|
|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
material being sampled.|The diamond drill samples were collected by longitudinally splitting core
using a core saw or a knife where core was very soft and clayey. Half of
the core was sent off to the laboratory for assay. The sampling method is
considered adequate for a diamond drilling program of this type.
The RC samples were collected by riffle splitting samples from large bags
collected directly from the cyclone on the drill rig. Sample condition is
generally dry, however a few samples are moist or wet. One field
duplicate was taken and assayed every 45m. The sampling method is
considered adequate for an RC 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.
Diamond core field duplicates were obtained by cutting the half core sample
into two quarter core samples. As samples are not homogenised some
variation is expected.
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 were drilled in the holes reported here but some drilling has
been done previously sufficiently close to a previously drilled holes to
provide confirmation of the location of mineralisation. Specifically
KKODD002 was drilled close to Air Core Hole KKOAC001 and demonstrated
that that similar, consistent gold mineralisation was present in the near
surface.
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 locations were recorded at the completion of each hole by
hand-held GPS.
Positional data was recorded in projection WGS84 Zone 29N.
Hole locations will be re-surveyed using a digital GPS system at
completion of program.
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
The diamond and RC drill holes were designed to explore the gold
mineralised system in fresh rock. A series of DD holes are in the process of
being drilled on most 80m spaced sections in the 1.3km long zone tested
previously with RC drilling.
The adequacy of the current drill hole spacing for Mineral Resource
estimation will be determined with an Independent Expert at the time
when the Mineral Resource Estimate is calculated
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 immediate area but based on the small
number of geological observations and the overall strike of the anomaly, an
east west line orientation with holes inclined to the west was considered
most likely to test the target mineralised zone. Results from earlier drilling
has now determined that the overall dip of the gold mineralised envelope is
to the west. All drill holes reported in this release were drilled from west to
east to obtain near-true widths through the gold mineralisation.
Sample Security The measures taken to ensure
sample security
Core trays and RC chips are stored in the Company’s sample storage
facility close to the nearby Bankan Village. Coarse rejects and pulps will
be eventually recovered from SGS in Bamako and stored at the same
facility.

|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.|Diamond and RC drill sampling was generally in one metre intervals.
Up to 2m (down-hole) of internal waste is included for results reported at the
0.25g/t Au cut-off grades.
