CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Dear Shareholder 

Predictive Discovery Limited (‘PDI’) made good progress in the past year through ongoing implementation 
of our project generator strategy.   

Our Cote D’Ivoire joint venture with Toro Gold Limited, to which we are currently contributing, continues to 
generate very encouraging exploration results. These include high grade gold values and visible gold from 
the Nyangboue Prospect at Boundiali and discovery of a new 17km long gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly 
on the Ferkessedougou North permit. We are now looking forward to trenching followed by drilling of both 
that  anomaly  and  the  large  geochemical  anomaly  discovered  last  year  on  the  Ferkessedougou  South 
permit. 

Elsewhere in Cote D’Ivoire, with the signature of a funding agreement with Progress Minerals Inc in March 
2017, a successful diamond drilling program was completed on the Bobosso project. This generated a series 
of  encouraging  results  and  demonstrated  gold  mineralisation  continuity  consistent  with  the  Company’s 
new  geological  model  of  the  Bobosso  mineralisation.  RC  drilling  in  the  coming  months  will  give  us  an 
additional insight into the potential of this large gold mineralised system. 

We  also  have  controlling  interests  in  six  recent  permit  applications  in  Cote  D’Ivoire  on  which  we  will 
conduct early stage exploration in our own right once the permits are granted. 

In Burkina Faso, Predictive has recently entered into a joint venture agreement with Progress Minerals Inc 
under which Progress can earn a 70% interest in the current tenement package by spending US$5 million. 
We  believe  that  an  investment  at  this  level  will  be  sufficient  to  advance  the  project  towards a  feasibility 
study.  Geochemical  drilling  is  expected  to  commence  in  Burkina  Faso  in  November  2017  with  RC  drilling 
underway by January 2018. 

I  thank  all  PDI’s  shareholders  for  your  strong  support  during  the  past  year.  We  successfully  raised  $3.05 
million via a Placement  and Share Purchase Plan in September-October 2016 during which we were very 
pleased to attract  a $1 million investment  from Sprott, the widely respected North American investment 
fund,  along  with  the  ongoing  support  of  our  largest  shareholders,  Aurora  Minerals  and  the  Lowell 
Resources Fund. 

Thank  you  also  to  our  Managing  Director,  Paul  Roberts,  my  fellow  Director,  David  Kelly,  and  our  staff  in 
Australia and Burkina Faso for all their efforts.   

I thank everyone for their dedication to Predictive.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

INTRODUCTION 

PDI’s principal focus is in the countries of Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso in West Africa (Figure 1).  

In  Cote  D’Ivoire  (Figure  2),  the  Company  has  interests  in  six  granted  exploration  permits  and  two  permit 
applications, totalling 2,749km2, which are being actively explored under the terms of a joint venture with 
Toro Gold Limited (Toro).  PDI is also conducting exploration under an agreement with Progress Minerals 
Inc  (Progress)  and  an  Ivoirian  company,  West  African  Venture  Investments  SARL  (WAVI), on the  Bobosso 
Project, which covers 1,200km2.  A further six permit applications covering 2,320km2 were announced on 6 
February 2017. 

In  Burkina  Faso,  the  Company  has  an  effective  Ouagadougou-based  team  and  a  large  regional  tenement 
package  in  the  north-east  of  the  country  covering  949km2  (Figure  18).    PDI’s  exploration  focus  is  on  the 
high-grade  Bongou  gold  discovery  and  the  surrounding  area.    A  formal  Mineral  Resource  Estimate  on 
Bongou  resulted  in  184,000oz  of  gold  in  the  Inferred  and  Indicated  Mineral  Resource  categories  with  an 
average grade of 2.6g/t Au, including 136,000oz at 3.8g/t Au (ASX release dated 4/9/14).  

PDI  also  holds  an  Exploration  Licence  in  Victoria  (Figure  20)  which  was  drilled  in  2016  by  joint  venture 
partner, Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd (Cape Clear).   

Predictive’s current strategy is to maintain a high level of exploration activity on all of its projects through 
project-level funding, either via joint ventures or direct cash investments into private companies which hold 
the  Company’s  ground.    The  Toro,  Progress  and  Cape  Clear  Joint  Ventures  are  operating  well  and 
generating significant newsflow.  At the same time, the Company contunues to seek new ground in West 
Africa on which it can undertake early stage exploration in its own right.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

COTE D’IVOIRE  

Background 

Predictive has been increasingly focused on Cote D’Ivoire in recent years.  The country covers over a third of 
the highly prospective Birimian gold belt, more than any other country in West Africa. Cote D’Ivoire is highly 
underexplored for gold because the exploration investment boom in the last decade largely bypassed the 
country because of political instability.  Since the accession of President Alassane Ouattara in 2011 and his 
comfortable re-election in 2015, and with investment certainty provided by an updated Mining Act and a 
forward-looking Mines Administration, Cote D’Ivoire has become a highly attractive exploration investment 
destination.

agreement with WAVI and Progress Minerals Inc (the XMI JV) over the Bobosso Project (red), the wholly owned Ivoirian 
Resources SARL permit applications (in green) and the optioned Sika Resources permit applications (in magenta). 

In  Cote D’Ivoire,  Predictive  holds  joint  ventures  with (1)  Toro  Gold  Limited,  a UK-based  company  and  (2) 
WAVI and Progress Minerals Inc of Canada (the XMI JV).  It has also entered into an option agreement with 
Sika Resources Pty Ltd on three permit applications held by Sika’s subsidiary, Moaye Resources SARL.

Toro Gold Joint Venture (Predictive 35%) 

Background 

Predictive is in joint venture with Toro Gold Limited, a UK-based company, on six granted permits and two 
permit  applications  in  Cote  D’Ivoire  (Figure  2).    The  Toro  Joint  Venture  operates  through  Predictive 
Discovery Limited’s former subsidiary, Predictive Cote D’Ivoire SARL (Predictive CI) of which Predictive now 
holds 35%.  Predictive is currently contributing 35% of ongoing expenditure by Predictive CI. 

Boundiali Permit 

The  Boundiali  permit  is  located  within  a  very  well  mineralised  greenstone  belt  which  contains  the  large 
operating Tongon  and  Syama  gold mines  in  Cote  D’Ivoire  and  Mali  respectively  (Figure  2).   The  southern 
part of this belt has had little exploration to date and represents a first-class opportunity to make new large 
gold discoveries. 

Predictive was granted the Boundiali permit in January 2014.  The Company’s first exploration program on 
the  permit  was  a  BLEG  stream  sediment  survey  (ASX  release  dated  4/8/14)  which  discovered  a  series  of 
strong stream sediment anomalies,  the  best of which, a 24ppb Au anomaly, lies  downstream of the  new 
Nyangboue gold mineralised zone intersected in the 2016 RC drilling program. 

Nyangboue Prospect Drilling 

A first pass widely spaced RC drilling program, consisting of 92 RC holes totalling 5,496m, was conducted on 
the  Nyangboue  Prospect  commencing  in  the  2015-2016  year.  It  obtained  a  series  of  highly  encouraging 
intercepts  most  of  which  were  released  to  the  ASX  in  the  2016-17  financial  year  (ASX  releases  dated 
23/6/16, 25/7/16, 8/8/16, 12/9/16 and 13/10/16) including: 

•  BRC003 - 28m at 4.04g/t Au from 3m, including 1m at 49.7g/t Au, 

•  BRC004 - 20m at 1.97g/t Au from 0m, 

•  BRC004 - 14m at 5.51g/t Au from 32m, including 1m at 31.6g/t Au, 

•  BRC004BIS (twin hole) – 20m at 10.45g/t Au from 38m including 1m at 145.5g/t Au, 

•  BRC006 – 9m at 7.9 g/t Au from 99m including 1m at 44.7g/t Au, 

•  BRC023 – 7m at 3.8g/t Au from 33m including 1m at 11.3g/t Au, 

•  BRC048 – 28m at 1.55g/t Au from 1m including 1m at 27.4g/t Au. 

A follow-up 1,658m diamond drilling program was completed during the March Quarter of 2017 (Quarterly 
Report to 30 June 2017).  Ten holes were drilled, most of which were designed to test the central section of 
the  gold  mineralised  zone  encountered  in  the  2016  RC  drill  program  (Figure  3).    The  objectives  of  the 
program were to: 

• obtain  orientated  core  within  the  mineralised  zone  to  understand  the  geological  controls  on  gold 

mineralisation encountered in the earlier RC drill program, and  

• test several geophysical and geochemical targets.  

Cross sections (1 and 2) through some of the holes drilled in this program are provided as Figures 4 and 5.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Figure 3:  RC and diamond drill hole collar locations on a gold-in-soil geochemical contour plan, highlighting key drill 
results, in the southern 2km portion of the Nyangboue Prospect (announced to the ASX on 23/6/16, 25/7/16, 8/8/16, 
12/9/16, 13/10/16, 17/5/17 and 29/5/17).  Gold geochemical contours are superimposed on satellite imagery. 

Holes  NDC007-010  were  drilled  in  an  east-south-east  direction  and  designed  to  cross  cut  north-west 
dipping gold mineralised veins observed in the first core holes at approximately right angles. In so doing, 
they also tested the (steeply east dipping) mineralised shear zone at an acute angle (see Figures 4 and 5).  
There  is  visible  gold  in  the  mineralised  quartz  veins  (Figure  6)  and  drilling  in  this  direction  may  have 
exacerbated  the  grade  variability (“nugget  effect”  –  see  below)  that  results  from  having  relatively coarse 
gold.  Thus, in the case of hole NDC007, an exceptional result was obtained. The three diamond drill holes 
to the south, however, produced results lower in grade than the earlier nearby RC holes, which may reflect 
the same “nugget effect” grade variability but on the down-side.  

Other geological observations made in the diamond drilling program were as follows: 

•  The gold mineralisation appears to be concentrated on or near a regional contact between a more 
massive conglomerate to the west and interbedded shales, siltstones and sandstones to the east. 

•  Oriented core shows that the mineralised rocks are sheared with the foliation (or shear) orientation 
being  NNE  (strike)  with  a  steep  dip  to  the  east.    The  gold  in  soil  geochemical  anomaly  is  also 
orientated  NNE  which  suggests  that  the  primary  control  on  gold  mineralisation  is  the  shearing, 
especially  in  the  area  near  the  regional  sheared  contact  between  coarser  and  finer  grained 
sediments.

•  Visible  gold  (Figure  6)  is  present  within  or  on  the  contact  of  thin  quartz  veins,  a  few  of  which  are 
folded,  and  which  generally  dip  moderately  to  the west  i.e.  cross  cutting  the  shear  orientation.  
The veins in which gold is observed are typically quite thin, up to a few centimetres wide.  

• As  with  most  mineralised  systems  containing  visible  gold,  standard  fire  assay  gold  methods  have 
generated  quite  variable  results,  a  phenomenon  known  as  the  “nugget  effect”.    Check  analyses 
with different methods (e.g. screen fire assays) are required and planned. 

• The  mineralised  zones  also  contain  disseminated  sulphides  (pyrite,  pyrrhotite  and  arsenopyrite) 
oriented parallel to the shear orientation and some of the gold may be associated with them.

Gbemou and Nyangboue South Prospects - RC Drilling (ASX release dated 5/9/17) 

These two prospects were defined by soil geochemical sampling in 2015 and 2016 (Figure 7). 

Figure 7:  Toro Gold soil sampling grid covering the entire Boundiali exploration permit (results reported to the ASX on 
20/10/15, 23/3/16 and 2/2/17). The two RC drilled areas are highlighted in yellow. 

A reconnaissance RC drilling program was designed to test portions of both soil anomalies on 200m spaced 
lines. 78 holes were drilled, 35 on Nyangboue South and 43 on Gbemou, for a total of 4,274m. Holes were 
drilled towards the west at an angle of -50 degrees typically to a downhole depth of about 50m. 

The  Gbemou  RC  drilling  covered  about  1,200m  of  strike  length  (Figure  8)  and  the  Nyangboue  South 
program tested approximately 1,000m of strike length in two sections separated by an 800m long gap.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

At Nyangboue South, the drilling encountered a package of metasedimentary rocks like those intersected at 
the  Nyangboue  Prospect  i.e.  sandstones,  siltstones/shales  and  possible  conglomerates.  At  Gbemou,  the 
drilling  intersected  similar  metasediments  as  well  as  granitic  intrusives.  In  both  areas,  gold  values  were 
encountered at multiple locations with a few, narrow, higher grade intercepts e.g.: 

• 1m at 22.2g/t Au from 51m (Gbemou), 

• 1m at 7.59g/t Au from 16m (Gbemou), 

• 1m at 9.48g/t Au from 5m (Nyangboue South). 

Multiple thin zones of low-moderate grade gold mineralisation were intersected at the southern end of the 
Gbemou drill grid (Figure 8).

Kokoumbo and Beriaboukro Permits 

Predictive CI is earning a 90% interest in the Kokoumbo exploration permit in southern Cote D’Ivoire (Figure 
2) from an Ivoirian company, Ivoir Negoce SARL.  The Kokoumbo permit covers an area of historic artisanal 
and French colonial era mining located in a highly prospective belt of rocks which also includes the Bonikro 
gold  mine,  currently  in  production  by  Newcrest,  and  Agbaou  gold  mine,  where  Endeavour  Mining 
commenced  commercial  production  in  January  2014.  Diamond  drilling  at  Kokoumbo  in  2016  obtained  a

The Beriaboukro permit is located directly south of Kokoumbo, and is the subject of an agreement between 
Predictive CI and local Ivoirian company, Gold Ivoire Minerals SARL. Beriaboukro includes some impressive 
artisanal workings including the Takalaso site (Figure 11). 

Soil Sampling Programs (Quarterly Reports to 30 September 2016 and 31 March 2017) 

Two  soil  sampling  programs  were  carried  out  on  the  Beriaboukro  permit,  the  first  an  800m  x  200m 
reconnaissance  survey  and  the  second  selective  infill  sampling  on  three  areas.  Anomalous  gold  values 
(>20ppb Au) were found in numerous locations throughout the grid.  Three clusters of anomalous gold-in-
soil results are highlighted on Figure 10, the highest value being 1375ppb Au.  

Rock chip sampling at the Takalaso artisanal gold mining site (Figure 11) obtained a cluster of encouraging 
values including an exceptionally high 726g/t gold assay. Other high-grade rock chip values from the same 
location included 13.15g/t Au and 6.40g/t Au.

Bobosso Joint Venture (Predictive 37%) 

The Bobosso Project consists of two granted exploration permits, Bassawa and Wendene in northern Cote 
D’Ivoire  (Figure  2),  which are  held  by  an  Ivoirian  company,  XMI  SARl (XMI).   Bassawa  and Wendene  are 
located within the southern extension of the well mineralised Hounde Belt in Burkina Faso, which includes 
Semafo’s Mana Mine (5 Moz in ore resources and reserves1).  

Previous exploration by Equigold, Lihir and Newcrest including a series of large drilling programs totalling 
569 RC holes and 11 diamond drill holes.  This obtained many gold mineralised intercepts beneath a 7km2 
gold-in-soil  geochemical  anomaly  (ASX  release  dated  28/10/15)  indicating  the  presence  of  a  large  gold 
mineralised system.   

Geological mapping and re-logging of historical diamond drill core by Predictive staff has demonstrated that 
the  gold  mineralisation  is  hosted  in  a  sequence  of  mafic  volcanics,  with  lesser  felsic  to  intermediate 
volcanics and minor metasediments.  Gold mineralisation is found in both broad, moderate grade alteration 
zones (silica-sericite-carbonate-pyrite) and narrower, higher grade quartz veins. 

PDI has earned a 37% equity in the  Bobosso project through an agreement which was  signed in October 
2015 with the owner of XMI, West Africa Venture Investment (WAVI).  More recently, Predictive and WAVI 
have entered into a funding agreement with Progress Minerals Inc (Progress) by which Progress is funding 
US$1 million of expenditure to earn a 30% equity in the project (ASX release dated 16/3/17).   

Diamond Drilling Program 

A diamond drilling program, totalling 17 holes and 1657m, was completed in May 2017 (ASX release dated 
19/7/17).  It was designed to explore four small areas within the large Bobosso gold mineralised system by:   

•  testing for mineralisation continuity along east-west to north-east trends identified from geological 

mapping and geophysical surveys (see Figure 12), and 

•  following up several historical, high-grade gold intercepts. 

The historical drilling was mostly drilled from west to east on an ESE (105⁰) azimuth.  This assumed that the 
target  mineralisation  was  orientated  NNE.    A  subsequent  aeromagnetic  survey  indicated  that  the 
mineralisation  distribution  was  probably  controlled  by  ENE  orientated  structures  (Figure  12).  This  drill 
program  was  designed  to  test  the  validity  of  that  concept.    The  bulk  of  drill  holes  in  this  program  were 
therefore drilled on an azimuth of 160⁰ to test ENE striking zones dipping towards the north. 

Four target areas were drill tested (Figure 12): 

Target Zone 1 

Drilling here was designed to follow-up a high-grade quartz vein mineralisation style as well as lower grade 
disseminated mineralisation. 

Figure  13  illustrates  the  distribution  of  gold  mineralised  intercepts  from  this  drill  program  in  relation  to 
historical drill intercepts (ASX release dated 28/10/15).  It shows several gold mineralised zones, the most 
important one of which can be traced over at least 150m of strike, is open to both the west and east and 
dips towards the north.  The figure also shows the location of two higher-grade intercepts in historical holes 
BDD001 and BRC083 which intersected a higher-grade quartz vein style of mineralisation including 6m at 
17.3g/t Au.  The distribution of the latter relative to the lower grade disseminated gold mineralisation style 
is illustrated in Figure 14.

Drilling  here  was  designed  to  follow-up  an  area  containing  several  high-grade  quartz  vein  intercepts  and 
some known artisanal workings which are also known to contain high-grade vein style mineralisation.  

Figure 15 shows that one of the diamond drill holes, BOBDD007, intersected two zones of high-grade quartz

Figure  17  shows  that  the  principal  disseminated  gold  mineralisation  zone  here  strikes  WNW,  consistent 
with foliation trends observed in the core, and is open to the west.

Conclusions 

This drill program showed that: 

• The  predominant,  disseminated  gold  mineralisation  style  can  be  traced  from  hole  to  hole  over 
distances of more  than  100m  and,  in  the  areas  tested,  strikes  between  NE  through  E-W to  ESE.  
Foliation and occasional bedding orientations vary through the same range of strike orientations 
as the disseminated mineralisation, suggesting that mineralisation distribution is controlled by the 
structures seen in the aeromagnetic map (Figure 12).  

• The  mineralisation  continuity  demonstrated  in  this  program  will  be  helpful  in  planning  future 

resource drill-outs over the Bobosso mineralised system. 

• Given  that  the  previous  drilling  is  oriented  very  obliquely  to  the  mineralisation  strikes  observed  in 
this program, there is significant potential to find more such mineralisation, potentially in multiple 
parallel zones in the large gaps between the earlier drill lines.  Most of the mineralisation drilled in 
this program is open along strike on both directions. 

• The  higher-grade  quartz vein  style  appears  to  be  less  persistent  along  strike  and  will  require more 

detailed drilling to define resources.

BURKINA FASO GOLD PROJECT (Predictive 100%) 

Background 

PDI’s Burkina Faso permits are all located within the Birimian gold belts in West Africa.  These belts contain 
numerous gold ore deposits (Figure 1), many of which are in production.  

Burkina Faso is a landlocked country, bounded to the south by Ghana, Cote D’Ivoire, Togo and Benin, to the 
west by Mali and to the east by Niger (Figure 1).  Gold mining in the past was confined to artisanal mining 
and one substantial mining operation at Poura in the west of the country which closed in 1999.  In the past 
nine years, however, there has been a strong resurgence in exploration and mine development, stimulated 
especially  by  the  release  of  new  mining  regulations  in  2003.    New  mines  have  been  developed  on  the 
Yaramoko (Roxgold Resources) and Karma (Endeavour) gold deposits.  Positive feasibility study results have 
also  been  announced  on  the  Natougou  (Semafo),  Banfora  (Teranga)  and  Mankarga  (West  African 
Resources) deposits indicating that more mines will be developed in the coming years.   

Eastern Burkina Faso  

Predictive’s  current  tenement  holdings  in  Burkina  Faso  are  located  in  the  east  of  the  country,  and  cover 
approximately 100km of strike length of the Samira Hill greenstone belt in eastern Burkina Faso (Figure 1).  
This  belt  hosts  the  2.5  million  ounce  Samira  Hill  gold  deposit  across  the  border  in  Niger  and  contains 
numerous active artisanal gold mine sites along its length.  PDI currently owns 100%, or has the rights to 
earn  95%  to 100%  of  all  its  permits  in  Burkina  Faso.    PDI  has  discovered  gold mineralisation  on multiple 
prospects in Eastern Burkina Faso area (Figure 18). 

Figure 18:  Locality map of PDI permits in eastern Burkina Faso, showing the Company’s permits on a geology 
background. Red coloured polygons are new permits replacing old permits which reached the end of their terms in July 
2017. The blue polygon is the Kalinga permit for which fees have now been paid (and therefore formal grant of the 
new permit is expected soon). Apart from Bira, these four new permits cover all the key gold prospects explored by PDI 
(yellow dots). The grey polygons are older permits also held by Predictive.

Bongou Area (Bongou and Tambifwanou Permits – Figure 18) 

In recent years, PDI’s focus in Burkina Faso has been on the high-grade Bongou gold discovery (100% PDI) 
and the immediate surrounding area. 

In  September 2014,  a  formal  Mineral  Resource  Estimate  on  Bongou  resulted in  184,000oz  of  gold  in  the 
Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resource categories with an average grade of 2.6g/t Au, including 136,000oz 
at 3.8g/t Au (ASX release dated 4/9/14).  

Mineral Resource Governance and Internal Controls 

Predictive  Discovery  Limited    ensures    that    the  Bongou  Mineral  Resource    estimate    quoted    here  is 
subject  to  governance arrangements and internal controls.   The Bongou Mineral Resource was estimated 
under  the  supervision  of  by  Mr  Richard  Gaze  of  Golder  Associates,  an  independent    third    party  
competent    person.  The  Bongou  resource  statement  was  subject    to    review    by    Predictive  Discovery 
Limited’s technical staff and suitably qualified members of the Board of Directors. 

The Company confirms that its Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with the ‘Australasian Code 
for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code) 2012 Edition. 

Exploration Target Near Bongou  

The Company has also calculated an Exploration Target on drilled prospects exclusive of but within 10km of 
the Bongou gold deposit (ASX release dated 3/9/15). The Exploration Target detailed in the following table 
is estimated to be in a range of 9.4 to 10.4 million tonnes averaging between approximately 1.5 to 1.7 g/t 
Au and containing approximately 460,000 to 563,000 ounces of gold, as follows:

The potential quantity (tonnage) and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has 
been insufficient exploration to estimate Mineral Resources and it is uncertain if further exploration will 
result in the estimation of Mineral Resources. 

The calculation was restricted to prospects for which there is good evidence of mineralisation orientation 
and  continuity.    Most  of  these  prospects  are  open  along  strike  and  at  depth.    Some  other  isolated  gold 
intercepts within 10km of Bongou were excluded, so there is significant potential to expand the Exploration 
Target further within range of PDI’s own drilling.

In  addition,  PDI’s  ground  holdings  in  Eastern  Burkina  Faso  hold  other  significant  prospects  for  which 
Exploration Targets could be calculated. 

Figure 19:  Outline of PDI permits near Bongou, showing location of the Bongou gold deposit and prospects which are 
included in the Exploration Target. 

Data and parameters used in calculating this Exploration Target were as follows: 

• Data: 

o  Gold intercepts from 291 reverse circulation holes, 4 air core holes and 5 diamond drill holes2 

were used in the calculation. 

o  The holes were mostly drilled on lines spaced from 50m to 100m apart, with a spacing along 

the lines ranging from 10m to 50m.  

• Parameters: 

o 0.5 g/t gold cut-off grade;  

o  Minimum internal waste of 3m except  for a few  holes  where  it was clear that the holes  had 
drilled  almost  down-dip  and  where  the  inclusion  of  larger  down-hole  intervals  of  internal 
waste made geological sense; 

o  Minimum  downhole  intercept  width  of  2m  and  a  minimum  grade  times  width  intercept  of 

2g*m; 

o  Maximum of 100m strike extent from drill holes (where the continuity of the mineralisation is 
supported  by  mapping  and/or  the  location  of  artisanal  workings  and/or  anomalous  auger 
results); 

2 These drilling results were reported to the ASX in the following Quarterly Reports: June Quarter 2011, March Quarter 2012, June 
Quarter  2012,  March  Quarter  2014  and  June  Quarter  2015.  The  drill  results  reported  in  these  Quarterly  Reports  up  to  the  June 
Quarterly of 2012 were prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004; they have not been updated since to comply with 
the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

2.3, 

▪  Fresh mafic volcanics: 2.8, 
▪  Fresh felsic to intermediate rocks including granite and granodiorite: 2.7 . 

o  The  calculation  was  carried  out  using  a  cross  sectional  method  with  volumes  projected  half 
way to the next hole (on the section) or half way to the next section to a maximum distance of 
100m (along strike). 

Additional Potential 

Most  of  the  zones  of  gold  mineralisation  included  in  the  Exploration  Target  are  open  at  depth  and 
along  strike.    In  addition,  there  are  a  series  of  other  mineralised  intercepts  within  the  immediate 
Bongou area which have potential for resource discovery either along strike or at depth. 

Replacement of Key Permits 

During the 2016-17 year, the Company worked with the Burkina Faso Ministry of Mines to renew or replace 
some of the older permits in the tenement package.  This has involved payment of some substantial permit 
renewal  fees.    Three  permits  were  replaced  -  Madyabari  (replaced  by  Bongou),  Sirba  (replaced  by 
Tambifwanou), Bangaba (replaced by Tambiri).  Grant fees have been paid on a fourth new permit, Kalinga 
(replacing the old Fouli permit), and receipt of the formal permit document, the arréte, is expected shortly.  
These four permits cover most the Company’s most important prospects (see Figure 18).  

Joint Venture on Burkina Faso Properties 

The  Company  announced  a  joint  venture  agreement  with  Canada-based  company  Progress  Minerals 
International  Inc  (PDI’s  funding  partner  on  the  Bobosso  Project)  on  all  of  the  current  Burkina  Faso 
exploration permits on 15/9/17. Agreement details include: 

•  Progress can earn a 70% interest in the project by funding a US$5 million (A$6.3 million) program of 

exploration and evaluation in three stages: 

o  US$1 million expenditure (minimum expenditure) within 1 year to earn 51%.  

o  Additional US$1.5million expenditure by the end of the second year to increase its equity 

to 60%. 

o  Additional US$2.5 million expenditure by the end of the fourth year to increase its equity 

to 70%. 

•  Other aspects of the agreement are: 

o  The agreement is effective from 30 September 2017. 

o 

If  Progress  decides  not  to  continue  spending  money  after  achieving  a  51%  equity,  it  is 
obliged  to  offer  its  entire  interest  back  to  Predictive.  If  a  price  cannot  be  agreed, 
Predictive has the option to dilute Progress’s equity down through in-ground expenditure 
in accordance with a standard dilution formula. 

o  Progress will take responsibility for PDI’s current Burkina Faso overhead costs. 

o  The  Joint  Venture  arrangements  will  extend  to  any  permits  that  are  granted  to  either 

party within an Area of Influence around the current permits (Figure 18).

  VICTORIAN GOLD PROJECT 

Cape Clear EL5434 (Predictive 25%) 

Exploration Licence 5434 is located west of Ballarat in Victoria (Figure 9).  It was granted to PDI in July 2013.  
The  area  is  highly  prospective  for  shallowly  concealed  Stawell-style  gold  mineralisation.      PDI  previously 
carried out geological mapping and a gravity survey over part of the EL area.  Execution of a binding farm-in 
agreement with Cape Clear Minerals Pty Ltd (CCM) on this EL was announced to the ASX on 22nd September 
2014.    Under  that  agreement,  CCM  could  earn  75%  equity  in  the  licence  by  spending  $500,000  on 
exploration,  including  at  least  1,000m  of  drilling.  CCM  has  complied  with  those  conditions  and  has 
therefore achieved a 75% equity in the project.  

Figure 20: Cape Clear Exploration Licence Locality Plan 

Exploration on EL5434 is targeted at discovery of Stawell-style and/or Ballarat-style gold mineralisation on 
the margins of a concealed Cambrian basalt ridge located on the west side of the major north-south striking 
Avoca Fault. The Stawell gold deposit is located in a comparable geological position on the western side of a 
basalt ridge, which is, in turn, west of the major Coongee Fault. 

Work completed during the year was confined to data reviews and statutory reporting. 

Predictive and CCM have now revised the joint venture arrangements such that Predictive will participate in 
exploration of the northern portion of EL5434, which the Company regards as being more prospective, and 
CCM  will  explore  the  southern  portion  in  its  own  right.  In  return  for  ceding  its  rights  over  the  southern 
portion of the EL, Predictive has rights to a 1% net smelter return royalty on any production from that area.

CORPORATE 

Capital raisings during the year totalled $3.05 million via a placement and SPP in September-October 2016.   

OUTLOOK 

In Cote D’Ivoire, Predictive now has two joint ventures with partners covering the  majority of exploration 
costs  on  the  currently  granted  exploration  permits.  Both  joint  venture  partners,  Toro  and  Progress,  are 
highly technically proficient with clear mine development capabilities. Excellent progress is being made and 
large work programs generating significant news flow are expected in the next year. The Company also has 
interests  in  six  new  permit  applications  and  plans  to  carry  out  early  stage  exploration  programs  (e.g. 
geology, geochemistry, geophysics and reconnaissance drilling) on them as soon as they are granted. 

In Burkina Faso, Predictive’s priority is to leverage the economic potential of the Bongou gold deposit and 
surrounding prospects to develop a profitable multi-pit gold mining operation feeding a central mill.  With 
the  recent  announcement  of  the  joint  venture  partnership  with  Progress  Minerals  Inc,  the  Company 
believes that the project is now well placed to advance through expansion of the resource base through to 
a feasibility study. 

The  Company  is  also  actively  seeking  new  ground  that  it  can  explore  in  its  own  right  throughout  West 
Africa. Low cost, early stage exploration programs are planned on any new ground as soon as it is granted.

COMPANY SECRETARIES 

Eric Moore  
Eric (Ric) Moore was appointed as Company Secretary on 7 April 2015.  He has held senior managerial positions in a 
number  of  resource  companies  during  the  past  20  years  and  was  Company  Secretary  of  a  publicly  listed  company 
between 1996 and 2005.  Ric is also Company Secretary of Aurora Minerals Limited and Peninsula Mines Limited.  

Bruce Waddell 
Bruce Waddell was appointed as additional Company Secretary on 21 August 2017.  A member of CPA Australia, he 
has  over  25  years  accounting  and  administration  experience  in  the  resources  industry.    Bruce  is  also  Company 
Secretary of Aurora Minerals Limited and Peninsula Mines Limited. 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

During the financial year, the principal activity of the group was mineral exploration with the objective of identifying 
and developing economic reserves in West Africa and Australia. 

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD 

The consolidated loss of the group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $2,675,065 (2016: 
$7,864,047).  This was largely from the costs of administering the group to 30 June 2017, share-based remuneration 
expenses, impairment of exploration and exploration costs. 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS  

In the year to June 2017, substantial gold exploration operations, including three drilling programs, were undertaken 
by joint venture partners in Cote D’Ivoire. In addition, the Company renewed some key land holdings and continued 
discussions  with  possible  joint  venture  partners  in  Burkina  Faso.  $3.05  million  was  raised  in  a  combined  placement 
and share purchase plan in September-October 2016. The Company also undertook a 1 for 10 share consolidation in 
May 2017 

Predictive’s  joint  venture  with  Toro  Gold  Limited  (Toro  JV)  in  Cote  D’Ivoire  completed  another  large  exploration 
program during the year, involving diamond and RC drilling and extensive geochemical sampling programs. This work 
obtained  highly  encouraging  results  on  the  Boundiali,  Ferkessedougou  North  and  Beriaboukro  exploration  permits 
including:  (1)  Boundiali  –  diamond  and  RC  drilling  with  a  best  intercept  of  30m  at  8.3g/t  Au  in  drill  core  at  the 
Nyangboue  Prospect,  (2)  Ferkessedougou  North  –  a  new,  17km  long  gold-in-soil  anomaly  with  numerous  samples 
containing more than 500ppb Au and (3) Beriaboukro – three gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies and high grade rock 
chip  sample  results  from  the  Takalaso  artisanal  site,  which  require  follow-up  drilling.  Toro  earned  a  65%  interest  in 
Predictive’s Cote D’Ivoire subsidiary, Predictive Discovery Cote D’Ivoire SARL, during the financial year, by cumulative 
exploration  expenditure  (since  JV  inception)  of  US$3.5  million.  Predictive  is  now  contributing  35%  of  exploration 
expenditure to the Toro JV.

ACN 127 171 877 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

The Company signed a three-way JV agreement with Progress Minerals Inc, a Canadian company, and XMI SARL, an 
Ivoirian  company,  over  the  Bobosso  Project  in  NE  Cote  D’Ivoire.  Progress  is  now  part  way  through  funding  a  US$1 
million exploration program on Bobosso to earn a 30% equity. This program has included a diamond drilling program 
in  April-May  2017  which  confirmed  Predictive’s  new  geological  model  of  gold  mineralisation  continuity  in  the  very 
large gold mineralisation system there. 

Also, in Cote D’Ivoire, Predictive entered into an option agreement on three permit applications and applied for three 
more  via  a  new  wholly  owned  subsidiary.  When  granted,  these  six  permits  will  add  2,400km2  of  highly  prospective 
ground to the Company’s ground position.  

In  Burkina  Faso,  the  Company  worked  closely  with  the  Mines  Ministry  to  replace  four  old  exploration  permits  with 
four new permits. These permits cover the Bongou, Dave, Laterite Hill, Prospect 71, Tambiri and Solna prospects, and 
therefore include most of the gold mineralisation discovered so far by Predictive in Burkina Faso.  The Company has 
now received grant documents (“arretes”) for three of the permits and receipt of the fourth arrete is imminent. With 
the assurance of this renewed tenure, the Company should be able to move forward with a large exploration program 
- with the help of a new joint venture partner - in the December Quarter of 2017. 

DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED 

No  dividends  were  paid  or  declared  since  the  start  of  the  financial  year.    No  recommendation  for  payment  of 
dividends has been made. 

FINANCIAL POSITION 

The net assets of the group have increased by $574,739 from 30 June 2016 to 30 June 2017.  This net movement is 
largely due to the following factors: 
•  $2.85m net capital raising; 
•   Expenditure on exploring and evaluating the assets in Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire; and 
•  Impairment of exploration costs carried forward. 

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS 

No significant changes in the group’s state of affairs occurred during the financial year. 

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE 

On  15  September  2017  Predictive  Discovery  Limited  announced  that  it  had  entered  into  a  joint  venture  agreement 
with  Canada-based  company  Progress  Minerals  International  Inc  (Progress)  on  Predictive’s  eastern  Burkina  Faso 
exploration permits. 

Progress can earn a 70% interest in the project by funding a US$5 million (A$6.3 million) program of exploration and 
evaluation in three stages, with the aim of advancing towards a  future multi-pit development  based on Predictive’s 
Gold prospects. 

Other  than  the  above,  no  matters  or  circumstances  have  arisen  for  the  year  which  significantly  affected  or  could 
significantly affect the operations of the group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the group in 
future financial years.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS 

Likely developments in the operations of the group and the expected results of those  operations in future financial 
years  have  not  been  included  in  this  report,  as  the  inclusion  of  such  information  is  likely  to  result  in  unreasonable 
prejudice to the group. 

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 

The  group’s  operations  are  subject  to  significant  environmental  regulations  under  both  Commonwealth  and  State 
legislation.    The  Board  believes  that  the  group  has  adequate  systems  in  place  for  the  management  of  its 
environmental  regulations  and  is  not  aware  of  a  breach  of  those  environmental  requirements  as  they  apply  to  the 
group.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION 

The auditors’ independence declaration for the year ended 30 June 2017 has been received and can be found on page 
66 of the financial report. 

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

REMUNERATION POLICY 

It  is  the  policy  of  the  Company  that,  except  in  special  circumstances,  non-executive  directors  normally  be 
remunerated by way of fixed fees, should not receive a bonus or options and should not be provided with retirement 
benefits other than statutory superannuation. 

The  Board,  within  the  limit  pre-approved  by  shareholders,  determines  fees  payable  to  individual  non-executive 
directors.  The remuneration level of any executive director or other senior executive is determined by the Board after 
taking  into  consideration  levels  that  apply  to  similar  positions  in  comparable  companies  in  Australia  and  taking 
account  of  the  individual’s  possible  participation  in  any  equity  based  remuneration  scheme.    The  Board  may  use 
industry  wide  data  gathered  by  independent  remuneration  experts  annually  as  its  point  of  reference.    Options  or 
shares issued to any director pursuant  to any equity based remuneration  scheme require approval by  shareholders 
prior to their issue.  Options or shares granted to senior executives who are not directors are issued by resolution of 
the Board. 

It is the policy of the Company that persons to whom options have been issued should not enter into any transaction 
in any associated product which is designed to limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under 
an equity based remuneration scheme. 

There are no schemes for retirement benefits, other than the payment of the statutory superannuation contribution 
for non-executive and executive directors. 

All  executives  receive  a  base  salary  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  qualifications,  expertise,  experience  etc.), 
superannuation and fringe benefits and are eligible for the grant of options under the Employee Option Plan.  

The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable  companies  for  the  time, 
commitment and responsibilities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) 

The fees payable to individual non-executive directors must be determined by the Board within the aggregate sum of 
$500,000 per annum provided for under clause 21.1 of the constitution.  That aggregate sum can only be increased 
with the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting.  A non-executive director is entitled 
to  a  refund  of  approved  expenditure  and  may  also  receive  payments  for  consultancy  work  contracted  for  and 
performed separately on the Company’s behalf. 

The  Company’s  policy  for  determining  the  nature  and  amount  of  emoluments  of  Board  members  and  senior 
executives of the Company is as follows: 

The  remuneration  structure  for  executive  officers,  including  executive  directors,  is  based  on  a  number  of  factors, 
including  length  of  service,  particular  experience  of  the  individual  concerned,  and  overall  performance  of  the 
Company.    The  contracts  for  service  between  the  Company,  Directors  and  executives  are  on  a  continuing  basis  the 
terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future. 

PERFORMANCE-BASED REMUNERATION 

Performance based remuneration for key management personnel is limited to granting of options. 

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REMUNERATION POLICY AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE 

The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  goal  congruence  between  shareholders,  directors  and 
executives.    The  issue  of  options  in  past  years  to  the  majority  of  directors  and  executives  is  to  encourage  the 
alignment  of  personal  and  shareholder  interests.    The  company  believes  this  policy  will  be  effective  in  increasing 
shareholder wealth. 

PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS LINKED TO REMUNERATION 

The group’s remuneration of key management personnel does not include any performance conditions. 

EMPLOYMENT DETAILS OF MEMBERS OF KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND OTHER EXECUTIVES 

The  following  table  provides  employment  details  of  persons  who  were,  during  the  financial  year,  members  of  key 
management  personnel  of  the  Group,  and  to  the  extent  different,  among  the  five  Group  executives  or  company

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

This  financial  report  includes  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  of  Predictive  Discovery  Limited  and 
controlled entities (the “group”). 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Predictive Discovery Limited is a for-profit company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  statement  that  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian 
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 

Australian  Accounting  Standards  set  out  accounting  policies  that  the  AASB  has  concluded  would  result  in  a  financial 
report  containing  relevant  and  reliable  information  about  transactions,  events  and  conditions.    Compliance  with 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  also  comply  with  International 
Financial  Reporting  Standards.  Material  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  this  financial  report  are 
presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  is  based  on  historical  costs,  modified,  where 
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected financial assets and financial liabilities. 

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar. 

(a) 

Principles of consolidation  

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Predictive 
Discovery Limited at the end of the reporting period.  A controlled entity is any entity over which Predictive Discovery 
Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities.  
Control  will  generally  exist  when  the  parent  owns,  directly  or  indirectly  through  subsidiaries,  more  than  half  of  the 
voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential 
voting rights are also considered. 

Where controlled entities have entered or left the group during the year, the financial performance of those entities 
are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.  A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 
18 to the financial statements. 

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated 
financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended.  Where controlled entities have entered (left) the 
group  during  the  year,  their  operating  results  have  been  included  (excluded)  from  the  date  control  was  obtained 
(ceased). 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the 
group have been eliminated on consolidation.  Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary 
to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. 

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown 
separately within the Equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of 
comprehensive  income.  The  non-controlling  interests  in  the  net  assets  comprise  their  interests  at  the  date  of  the 
original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date. 

Subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent entity at cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017   

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(a) 

Principles of consolidation (continued)  

Business Combinations 

Business  combinations  occur  where  an  acquirer  obtains  control  over  one  or  more  businesses  and  results  in  the 
consolidation of its assets and liabilities.  

A  business  combination  is  accounted  for  by  applying  the  acquisition  method,  unless  it  is  a  combination  involving 
entities  or  businesses  under  common  control.    The  acquisition  method  requires  that  for  each  business  combination 
one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity).  The business combination will be 
accounted  for  as  at  the  acquisition  date,  which  is  the  date  that  control  over  the  acquiree  is  obtained  by  the  parent 
entity.   

At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair 
value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will 
be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured. 

The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.  The method adopted for 
the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the 
acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree. 

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair 
value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.  
Consideration may comprise  the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to 
the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer. 

Fair  value  uplifts  in  the  value  of  pre-existing  equity  holdings  are  taken  to  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income.  
Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, 
such amounts are recycled to profit or loss. 

Included  in  the  measurement  of  consideration  transferred  is  any  asset  or  liability  resulting  from  a  contingent 
consideration  arrangement.    Any  obligation  incurred  relating  to  contingent  consideration  is  classified  as  either  a 
financial  liability  or  equity  instrument,  depending  upon  the  nature  of  the  arrangement.    Rights  to  refunds  of 
consideration  previously  paid  are  recognised  as  a  receivable.    Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  contingent 
consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  within  equity.  
Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through 
the statement of comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. 

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive 
income. 

(b) 

Revenue and Other Income  

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade 
discounts  and  volume  rebates  allowed.  Any  consideration  deferred  is  treated  as  the  provision  of  finance  and  is 
discounted  at  a  rate  of  interest  that  is  generally  accepted  in  the  market  for  similar  arrangements.  The  difference 
between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue. 

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.  The effective interest  rate method uses the 
effective interest rate which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life 
of the financial assets. 

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(c) 

Borrowing Costs 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a 
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such 
time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. 

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.  

(d) 

Income Tax 

The  income  tax  expense  (revenue)  for  the  year  comprises  current  income  tax  expense  (income)  and  deferred  tax 
expense (income). 

Current  income  tax  expense  charged  to  the  profit  or  loss  is  the  tax  payable  on  taxable  income  calculated  using 
applicable  income  tax  rates  enacted,  or  substantially  enacted,  as  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.    Current  tax 
liabilities  (assets)  are  therefore  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  to  (recovered  from)  the  relevant 
taxation authority. 

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the 
year as well as unused tax losses.  Current and deferred tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity 
instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  ascertained  based  on  temporary  differences  arising  between  the  tax  bases  of 
assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  financial  statements.    Deferred  tax  assets  also  result  where 
amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised 
from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability,  excluding  a  business  combination,  where  there  is  no  effect  on 
accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  calculated  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  to  the  period  when  the 
asset  is  realised  or  the  liability  is  settled,  based  on  tax  rates  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  at  the  end  of  the 
reporting period.  Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the 
carrying amount of the related asset or liability. 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can 
be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. 

Current  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  where  a  legally  enforceable  right  of  set-off  exists  and  it  is  intended  that  net 
settlement  or  simultaneous  realisation  and  settlement  of  the  respective  asset  and  liability  will  occur.    Deferred  tax 
assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities 
relate  to  income  taxes  levied  by  the  same  taxation  authority  on  either  the  same  taxable  entity  or  different  taxable 
entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and 
liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be 
recovered or settled.

(e) 

Employee Benefits 

Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the 
end of the reporting period.  Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.  Employee benefits payable later than one year have 
been measured at present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.  In determining 
the  liability,  consideration  is  given  to  employee  wage  increases  and  the  probability  that  the  employee  may  satisfy 
vesting requirements.  Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on corporate bonds with terms to maturity 
that match the expected timing of cashflows. 

Liabilities  recognised  in  respect  of  employee  benefits  which  are  not  expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months  are 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by The Group in respect of services 
provided by employees up to reporting date. 

(f) 

Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when The Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it 
is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. 

The liability for long service leave is recognised in current and  non-current liabilities, depending on the unconditional 
right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. 

(g) 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances 

The  functional  currency  of  each  of  the  group's  entities  is  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic 
environment in which that entity operates.  The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars 
which  is  the  parent  entity's  functional  and  presentation  currency.    All  other  companies  within  The  Group  have 
Australian dollars as their functional currency. 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of 
the transaction.  Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate.  Non-monetary items 
measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.  Non-monetary 
items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  monetary  items  are  recognised  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent 
that  the  gain  or  loss  is  directly  recognised  in  equity,  otherwise  the  exchange  difference  is  recognised  in  the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 

The  financial  results  and  position  of  foreign  operations  whose  functional  currency  is  different  from  the  group's 
presentation currency are translated as follows: 
• 
• 
• 

assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; 
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and 
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  foreign  operations  are  transferred  directly  to  the  group's  foreign 
currency translation reserve in the consolidated statement of financial position.  These differences are recognised in 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(h) 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  banks,  other  short  term  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts are shown within 
short term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. 

(i) 

Financial Instruments 

Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to 
the  instrument.  For  financial  assets,  this  is  the  equivalent  to  the  date  that  the  group  commits  itself  to  either  the 
purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).  Financial instruments are initially measured at fair 
value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is classified 'at fair  value through profit or loss', in which 
case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.  

Classification and subsequent measurement 
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between 
knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In 
other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

Amortised cost is calculated as: 
(a) 
(b) 
(c) 

the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; 
less principal repayments; 
plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and 
the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and 
less any reduction for impairment. 

(d) 

The  effective interest  method is used to allocate interest  income or interest  expense over the relevant  period and is 
equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction 
costs  and  other  premiums  or  discounts)  through  the  expected  life  (or  when  this  cannot  be  reliably  predicted,  the 
contractual  term)  of  the  financial  instrument  to  the  net  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  asset  or  financial  liability. 
Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential 
recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. 

The group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the 
requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

(i) 
Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose 
of short term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an 
accounting  mismatch  or  to  enable  performance  evaluation  where  a  group  of  financial  assets  is  managed  by  key 
management  personnel  on  a  fair  value  basis  in  accordance  with  a  documented  risk  management  or  investment 
strategy.  Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or 
loss. 

Loans and receivables 

(ii) 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in 
an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(i) 

Financial Instruments (continued) 

Loans  and  receivables  are  included  in  current  assets,  except  for  those  which  are  not  expected  to  mature  within  12 
months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets). 

(iii)  Held-to-maturity investments 
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable 
payments, and it is the group's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost. 

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 
12 months are the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets). 

If  during  the  period  the  group  sold  or  reclassified  more  than  an  insignificant  amount  of  the  held  to  maturity 
investments  before  maturity,  the  entire  held-to-maturity  investments  category  would  be  tainted  and  reclassified  as 
available for sale. 

Available for sale financial assets 

(iv) 
Available  for  sale  financial  assets  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  are  either  not  suitable  to  be  classified  into 
other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise 
investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. 

Available for  sale financial assets are included in non-current  assets, except  for those  which  are expected to mature 
within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current assets). 

Financial liabilities 

(v) 
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Derecognition 
Financial  assets  are  derecognised  where  the  contractual  rights  to  receipt  of  cash  flows  expires  or  the  asset  is 
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and 
benefits  associated  with  the  asset.  Financial  liabilities  are  derecognised  where  the  related  obligations  are  either 
discharged,  cancelled  or  expired.  The  difference  between  the  carrying  value  of  the  financial  liability  extinguished  or 
transferred  to  another  party  and  the  fair  value  of  consideration  paid,  including  the  transfer  of  non-cash  assets  or 
liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss. 

(j) 

Property, Plant and Equipment 

Each  class  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  carried  at  cost  or  fair  value  as  indicated,  less,  where  applicable,  any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Plant and Equipment 
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. 

Depreciation 
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset's useful life to the group 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful lives of the improvements.

The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 

Plant and Equipment 

Useful Life 

2 - 20 years 

The  assets'  residual  values  and  useful  lives  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  the  end  of  each  reporting 
period. 

An  asset's  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset's  carrying  amount  is 
greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with  the  carrying  amount.    These  gains  and 
losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 

Property, plant and equipment is derecognised and removed from the consolidated statement of financial position on 
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected.  Gains and losses from derecognition are measured as the 
difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss. 

Subsequent costs are included in the property, plant and equipment's carrying value or recognised as a separate asset 
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will be realised and the cost of the item can 
be measured reliably.  All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss. 

Where  required  by  accounting  standards  comparative  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  conform  with  changes  in 
presentation for the current financial year. 

(k) 

Exploration and Development Expenditure 

Costs Carried Forward 

Costs arising from exploration and evaluation activities are carried forward where the rights to tenure for the area of 
interest are current and such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where 
exploration  and  evaluation  activities  have  not,  at  reporting  date,  reached  a  stage  to  allow  a  reasonable  assessment 
regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves. 

Costs  carried  forward  in  respect  of  an  area  of  interest  that  is  abandoned  are  written  off  in  the  period  in  which  the 
decision to abandon is made. 

Contributions  received  from  third  parties  in  exchange  for  participating  interests  in  exploration  and  evaluation 
tenements (e.g. as part of farm out arrangements) are netted off against the costs carried forward in respect of those 
tenements in which the third party acquires a participating interest. 

(l) 

Impairment of Assets 

At  each  reporting  date,  the  group  assesses  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  an  asset  may  be  impaired.  The 
assessment  will  include  considering  external  sources  of  information  including,  dividends  received  from  subsidiaries, 
associates  or  jointly  controlled  entities  deemed  to  be  out  of  pre-acquisition  profits.  If  such  an  indication  exists,  an 
impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the 
asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset's carrying value.  Any excess of the asset's carrying value 
over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

(l) 

Impairment of Assets (continued) 

Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation surplus in respect of 
the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus 
for that same class of asset. 

Non-financial assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets, assets from employee benefits, investment properties 
and deferred acquisition costs, are assessed for any indication of impairment at the end of each reporting period.  Any 
indication of impairment requires formal testing of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to an 
estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset.  An impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying 
amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset. 

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment 
annually regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. 

The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.  The asset's value in 
use is calculated as the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a pre-tax rate that reflects 
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks associated with the asset.  Assets that cannot be 
tested individually for impairment are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows 
(the asset's cash generating unit). 

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.  Impairment losses are allocated first, to reduce the carrying amount 
of any goodwill allocated to cash generating units, and then to other assets of the group on a pro rata basis.  

Assets  other  than  goodwill  are  assessed  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  to  determine  whether  previously 
recognised  impairment  losses  may  no  longer  exist  or  may  have  decreased.    Impairment  losses  recognised  in  prior 
periods for assets other than goodwill are reversed up to the carrying amounts that would have been determined had 
no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. 

(m) 

Trade and Other Payables 

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services 
received by the group during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability 
with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. 

(n) 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is 
not recoverable from the Tax Office.  In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of 
the asset  or as part  of an item of the expense.  Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement  of financial 
position are shown inclusive of GST. 

(o) 

Leases 

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset but not the 
legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the group are classified as finance leases. 

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of 
the leased property or the present  value of the minimum  lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values.  
Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

(p) 

Earnings Per Share 

Basic loss per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the group divided by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares.  Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the net loss attributable to members of 
the group and the number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which include 
shares options. 

(q) 

Contributed Equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options 
are shown as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

(r) 

Share-based Payment Transactions 

Employees of the group receive remuneration in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees 
render  services  in  exchange  for  equity  instruments  ("equity  settled  transactions").    When  the  goods  or  services 
acquired  in  a  share  based  payment  transaction  do  not  qualify  for  recognition  as  assets,  they  are  recognised  as 
expenses. 

The cost  of equity settled transactions and the corresponding increase in equity is measured at the fair  value of the 
goods or services acquired.  Where the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably estimated, the 
fair value is determined indirectly by the fair value of the equity instruments using the Black Scholes option valuation 
technique.  

Equity-settled transactions that vest after employees complete a specified period of service are recognised as services 
are received during the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. 

(s) 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

The  directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgments  incorporated  into  the  financial  statements  based  on  historical 
knowledge  and  best  available  current  information.  Estimates  assume  a  reasonable  expectation  of  future  events  and 
are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. 

Key estimates – Impairment 
The group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions specific to the group that 
may be indicative of impairment triggers.  Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using fair value less 
cost to sell or value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. 

Key judgements – Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 
The group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable 
or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. 
$3,621,616 has been capitalised as at 30 June 2017 (see note 6). While there are certain areas of interest from which 
no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written 
off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded and there are no facts of circumstances that suggest 
the carrying amounts of the exploration and evaluation assets recognised exceed their recoverable amount. 

In assessing the recoverability of the carrying amounts, the Directors have determined that as with similar companies, 
future capital raisings will be required in order to continue the exploration and development of the company's mining 
tenements  (some  subject  to  an  option  payment)  to  achieve  a  position  where  they  can  prove  exploration  reserves.  
Should there be no funding available, exploration of the areas of interest may  be put on hold.  The recoverability of 
the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration of each area of interest.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued) 

Key Judgements – Share-based payment transactions 
The group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes method. The 
related  assumptions  are  detailed  in  note  22.  The  accounting  estimates  and  assumptions  relating  to  equity-settled 
share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual 
reporting period but may impact expenses and equity. 

Key Judgements - Going Concern  
For the year ended 30 June 2017 the Group made a loss of $2,650,967 (2016: loss $7,801,777). Notwithstanding this 
the  financial  report  has  been  prepared  using  the  going  concern  basis.    The  Directors  have  determined  that  as  with 
similar companies, future capital raisings will be required in order to continue the exploration and development of the 
company's  mining  tenements  (some  subject  to  an  option  payment)  and  meet  operational  expenditure  at  current 
levels to achieve a position where they can prove exploration reserves.  The ability of the company to continue as a 
going concern is dependent upon the company raising additional capital sufficient to meet the company's exploration 
commitments  and  operational  commitments.    Should  there  be  no  funding  available,  exploration  of  the  areas  of 
interest may be put on hold.  The recoverability of the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration 
of each area of interest.   

The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the foreseeable future reflecting this expectation and their effect 
upon  the  company.    The  achievement  of  the  forecast  is  dependent  upon  the  future  capital  raising,  the  outcome  of 
which is uncertain. 

Key Judgements - Recoverability of Intercompany Loan 
Within  Non-current  assets  of  the  parent  entity  (see  note  20)  there  is  a  loan  due  from  the  100%  subsidiaries  of 
$18,826,754 which is considered fully recoverable.  The recoverability of this loan is dependent upon the successful 
development or sale of exploration assets in Burkina Faso.

In  the  current  year,  the  group  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the 
AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The adoption of these 
new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  has  not  resulted  in  a  significant  or  material  change  to  the  group’s 
accounting policies. 

New accounting standards issued but not yet effective  
Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet  mandatorily applicable to the Group, 
together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future 
periods, are discussed below:  

Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2018) 

AASB 9 
AASB 9 will replace AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The key changes that may affect 
the Group on initial application of AASB 9 and associated amending Standards include:  

•  simplifying the general classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried 

at fair value;  

•  permitting  entities  to  irrevocably  elect  on  initial  recognition  to  present  gains  and  losses  on  an  equity 

instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income (OCI);  

•  simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives, including removing the requirements to separate and 

fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;  

•  requiring  an  entity  that  chooses  to  measure  a  financial  liability  at  fair  value  to  present  the  portion  of  the 
change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in OCI, except when it would create an 
‘accounting mismatch’;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017   

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(t)     Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards (continued) 

•  introducing  a  new  model  for  hedge  accounting  that  permits  greater  flexibility  in  the  ability  to  hedge  risk, 

particularly with respect to non-financial items; and 

•  requiring impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost based on an expected loss approach. 

Although  the  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  9  may  have  an  impact  on  the  Group’s  financial 
instruments,  including  hedging  activity,  it  is  impracticable  at  this  stage  to  provide  a  reasonable  estimate  of  such 
impact. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective from 1 January 2018) 
AASB 15 will provide (except in relation to some specific exceptions, such as lease contracts and insurance contracts) a 
single  source  of  accounting  requirements  for  all  contracts  with  customers,  thereby  replacing  all  current  accounting 
pronouncements on revenue.   

These  Standards  provide  a  revised  principle  for  recognising  and  measuring  revenue.  Under  AASB  15,  revenue  is 
recognised  in  a  manner  that  depicts  the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that 
reflects the consideration to which the provider of the goods or services expects to be entitled. The give effect to this 
principle, AASB 15 requires the adoption of the following 5-step model:  

•  identify the contract(s) with a customer;  
•  identify the performance obligations under the contract(s);  
•  determine the transaction price;  
•  allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations under the contract(s); and 
•  recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations.  

AASB 15 also provides additional guidance to assist entities in applying the revised principle to licences of intellectual 
property, warranties, rights of return, principal/agent considerations and options for additional goods and services. 

This Standard will require retrospective restatement, as well as enhanced disclosures regarding revenue. 

Although  the  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  15  may  have  an  impact  on  the  group’s  financial 
statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. 

AASB 16 Leases (effective from 1 January 2019) 
Under  IFRS  16  there  is  no  longer  a  distinction  between  finance  and  operating  leases.    Lessees  will  now  bring  to 
account a right-to-use asset and lease liability onto their balance sheets for all leases.  Effectively this means the vast 
majority  of  operating  leases  as  defined  by  the  current  AASB  117  Leases  which  currently  do  not  impact  the  balance 
sheet will be required to be capitalised on the balance sheet once IFRS 16 is adopted. 

Although  the  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  16  may  have  an  impact  on  the  group’s  financial 
statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. 

AASB  2016-5  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Classification  and  Measurement  of  Share-based 
Payment Transactions (effective from 1 January 2018) 
This Standard amends AASB 2 Share-based Payment to address: 
(a)  the  accounting  for  the  effects  of  vesting  and  non-vesting  conditions  on  the  measurement  of  cash-settled  share 
based payments; 
(b)  the  classification  of  share-based  payment  transactions  with  a  net  settlement  feature  for  withholding  tax 
obligations; and 
(c)  the  accounting  for  a  modification  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  a  share-based  payment  that  changes  the 
classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. 
Although  the  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  2016-5  may  have  an  impact  on  the  group’s  financial 
statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017   

NOTE 6: EXPLORATION, EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT ASSETS (continued) 

The  recoverability  of  the  carrying  amount  of  the  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  is  dependent  on  successful 
development  and  commercial  exploitation,  or  alternatively,  sale  of  the  respective  areas  of  interest.    The  board  has 
assessed the exploration and evaluation assets for impairment, using AASB 6 paragraph 20 as a guide. As a result of 
this process 11 tenements were impaired during the period. 

The budget for future exploration and evaluation expenditure is split by geographical area and not by area of interest 
as  the  allocation  of  resources  will  depend  upon  findings.    However,  it  is  acknowledged  that  the  budget  allows  for 
spending  on  all  areas  of  interest  without  exclusion.    It  is anticipated  that  all  expenditure  required  by  agreement  or 
permit will be met. 

In assessing the recoverability of the carrying amounts, reference is made to Note 1 (S) - Key Judgements - Exploration 
and Evaluation Expenditure and Going Concern.  The Directors have determined that as with similar companies, future 
capital  raisings  will  be  required  in  order  to  continue  the  exploration  and  development  of  the  company's  mining 
tenements  (some  subject  to  an  option  payment)  to  achieve  a  position  where  they  can  prove  exploration  reserves.  
Should there be no funding available, exploration of the areas of interest may be put on hold.  The recoverability of 
the exploration asset is dependent upon the continued exploration of each area of interest.

Exposure to key financial risks is managed in accordance with the group’s risk management policy with the objective to 
ensure  that  the  financial  risks  inherent  in  exploration  activities  are  identified  and  then  managed  or  kept  as  low  as 
reasonably practicable.  

The main financial risks that arise in the normal course of business are market risk (including currency risk, interest rate 
risk  and  price  risk),  credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk.    Different  methods  are  used  to  measure  and  manage  these  risk 
exposures.    Liquidity  risk  is  monitored  through  the  ongoing  review  of  available  cash  and  future  commitments  for 
exploration expenditure. 

Exposure  to  liquidity  risk  is  limited  by  anticipating  liquidity  shortages  and  ensures  capital  can  be  raise  in advance  of 
shortages. Interest rate risk is managed by limiting the amount of interest bearing loans entered into by the Group. It is 
the Board's policy that no speculative trading in financial instruments be undertaken so as to limit expose to price risk. 

Primary  responsibility  for  identification  and  control  of  financial  risks  rests  with  the  Company  Secretary,  under  the 
authority of the Board.  The  Board is apprised of these risks from time to time and agrees any policies that may be 
undertaken to manage any of the risks identified. 

Details  of  the  significant  accounting  policies  and  methods  adopted,  including  criteria  for  recognition,  the  basis  of 
measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each financial instrument are 
disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.  The carrying values less the impairment allowance for receivables and 
payables  are  assumed  to  approximate  fair  values  due  to  their  short  term  nature.    Cash  and  cash  equivalents  are 
subject to variable interest rates. 

SPECIFIC FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURES AND MANAGEMENT 

(A) 

CREDIT RISK 

Exposure  to  credit  risk  relating  to  financial  assets  arises  from  the  potential  non-performance  by  counter  parties  of 
contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the group. 

The group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. 

The group has no customers and consequently no significant exposure to bad debts or other credit risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017   

NOTE 14: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) 

With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and receivables, the 
exposure  to  credit  risk  arises  from  default  of  the  counter  party,  with  a  maximum  exposure  equal  to  the  carrying 
amount of these instruments.  At balance date cash and deposits were held with Australia and New Zealand Banking 
Group Limited. 

(B) 

LIQUIDITY RISK 

Liquidity  risk  arises  from  the  possibility  that  the  group  might  encounter  difficulty  in  settling  its  debts  or  otherwise 
meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. 

Prudent  liquidity  risk  management  implies  maintaining  sufficient  cash  reserves  to  meet  the  ongoing  operational 
requirements  of  the  business.    It  is  the  group’s  policy  to  maintain  sufficient  funds  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents.  
Furthermore, the  group monitors its ongoing  exploration cash  requirements and raises  equity funding as and when 
appropriate  to  meet  such  planned  requirements.    The  group  has  no  undrawn  financing  facilities.    Trade  and  other 
payables, the only financial liability of the group, are due within 6 months. 

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. 

Cash  flows  realised  from  financial  assets  reflect  management's  expectation  as  to  the  timing  of  realisation.    Actual 
timing  may  therefore  differ  from  that  disclosed.    The  timing  of  cash  flows  presented  in  the  table  to  settle  financial 
liabilities  reflects  the  earliest  contractual  settlement  dates  and  does  not  reflect  management's  expectations  that 
banking facilities will be rolled forward.

The financial assets and liabilities noted above are interest free. 

(C)  MARKET RISK 

 Foreign exchange risk 

i. 
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating 
due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the group holds foreign currency which are other 
than the AUD functional currency of the group. 

Interest rate risk 

ii. 
The group’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily arises from cash at bank and deposits subject to  market bank rates. 
At  balance  date,  the  group  does  not  have  any  borrowings.    The  group  does  not  enter  into  hedges.  The  weighted 
average rate of interest earned by the group on its cash assets during the year was 1.8% (2016: 1.4%). The table below 
summarises the sensitivity of the group’s cash assets to interest rate risk.

On  15  September  2017  Predictive  Discovery  Limited  announced  that  it  had  entered  into  a  joint  venture  agreement 
with  Canada-based  company  Progress  Minerals  International  Inc  (Progress)  on  Predictive’s  eastern  Burkina  Faso 
exploration permits. 

Progress can earn a 70% interest in the project by funding a US$5 million (A$6.3 million) program of exploration and 
evaluation in three stages, with the aim of advancing towards a  future multi-pit development  based on Predictive’s 
Gold prospects.  

Other  than  the  above,  no  matters  or  circumstances  have  arisen  for  the  year  which  significantly  affected  or  could 
significantly affect the operations of the group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the group in 
future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF PREDICTIVE DISCOVERY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Predictive Discovery Limited and Controlled Entities (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 
significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration. 
In our opinion: 

a)

the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

i.

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial 
performance for the year then ended; and  

ii.

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

b)

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our 
report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial 
report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion. 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 1 (s) “Key Judgement – Going Concern” which indicates the company incurred a loss for 
the  year  ended  30  June  2017  of  $2,650,967  and  that  the  company’s  ability  to  continue  the  exploration  and 
development of its mining tenements and meet operational expenditure at current levels is dependent upon future 
capital  raising.   These  conditions,  along  with  other  matters  as  set  forth  in  Note  1  (s),  indicate  the  existence  of  a 
material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and 
therefore,  the  company  may  be  unable  to  realise  its  assets  and  discharge  its  liabilities  in  the  normal  course  of 
business.  Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

KEY AUDIT MATTER 1 – Carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation assets 
Refer to Note 6 “Exploration, Evaluation and Development assets” 

As at 30 June 2017 the carrying amount of 
Exploration and Evaluation (E&E) assets is $3,621,616 
(2016: $3,675,061). 

The carrying value of the E&E assets was a key audit 
matter due to the size of the balance as at 30 June 
2017 and the subjectivity involved in determining its 
carrying value. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

 Obtaining a management prepared schedule of 

capitalised Exploration and Evaluation 
expenditure and agreeing to the general ledger; 









Tested a sample of current year expenditure to 
source documents; 

Undertook a detailed review of management’s 
assessment of impairment including: 







Ensuring rights to tenure were current; 

Enquired of management about their 
intentions for each tenement, including 
reviewing forecast expenditure; and 

Reviewing any other transactions that 
support the carrying value of the 
capitalised Exploration and Evaluation 
expenditure. 

Reviewed ASX announcements and minutes of 
directors’ meetings to ensure that the company 
had not decided to discontinue activities in any 
of its areas of interest. 

Considered the adequacy of disclosures 
included within Note 6 of the financial report. 

Other Information 

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and our 
auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.  

65

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as 
the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 
and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a 
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic 
alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.  
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and 
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  











identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient 
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement 
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; 

obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 
the Group’s internal control; 

evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 
and related disclosures made by directors; 

conclude on the appropriateness of director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on 
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may 
cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material 
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 
financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on 
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions 
may cause the Group’s to cease to continue as a going concern; and 

evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, 
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that 
achieves fair presentation.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 
audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably 
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

66

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in 
the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these 
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 7 to 11 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 
June 2017. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Predictive Discovery Limited and Controlled Entities, for the year ended 
30 June 2017 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in 
accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
