4 | 2020 Annual Report
Dear Shareholders,
It gives me great pleasure to present the 2020 Annual Report for Predictive
Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI) (Predictive or Company).
It is hard to imagine the Company being in a more different position than
it was at the beginning of the financial year. Drill results from the Bankan
Project, announced in April this year, have been a watershed moment for the
Company.
While success for the Company in Guinea has seemingly come quickly, it
represents the culmination of 10-years work by the Predictive team, acquiring
and exploring a portfolio of projects in some of West Africa’s most prolific gold
belts. The Project Generator model which the Company followed for a number
of years is now paying dividends in Guinea and continues to provide upside
exposure in Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, with three Joint Ventures now in
place to deliver further value from the Company’s landholdings.
As the focus for Predictive’s exploration, Guinea has been a relatively neglected
gold exploration destination but international perceptions of the country’s
investment attractiveness have gradually improved both through revisions
to the country’s mining laws and more recently with a revamp of the mining
title administration which is now a model of transparency and efficiency. The
change in investment climate and the region’s long and storied gold mining
history led Predictive to start investigating ground acquisition opportunities in
late 2018.
In July 2019, the Company announced the granting of its Kaninko permit - now
part of the flagship Bankan Project (Bankan) - which was originally identified
through a district-scale assessment of the Siguiri Basin utilising the Company’s
PredictoreTM methodology. Following that acquisition, through aggressive,
targeted and low-cost exploration, the Company advanced the Bankan Project
in just 9 months from a greenfields tenement with no known history of past
drilling to the NE Bankan gold discovery in April 2020.
In January 2020, with initial geochemical exploration completed, the
exploration team had identified two strong gold targets and began a modest,
shallow power auger drilling program to test them both. The results were
immediately encouraging with composite intervals at NE Bankan including
11.90g/t gold, 10.30g/t gold, 4.84g/t gold, and 2.27g/t gold. The significance
of these results was probably not immediately clear to the market, but it
provided targets for follow-up aircore/reverse circulation (AC/RC) drilling,
which the Company undertook in March 2020 and announced on 15 April
2020.
Results from the March AC/RC program proved to be a significant revaluation event for the Company, with
results including 46m at 6.58g/t gold from 4m including 10m at 26.52g/t gold from 34m, 42m at 2.92g/t gold
from 8m and 50m at 1.53g/t gold from surface.
In what can only be described as one of the more remarkable days for any exploration company, Predictive’s
share price jumped more than 733%, which, at the time, was the single largest 1-day gain on the ASX in the
past 3 years, with over a billion shares traded on that day and the next. Soon thereafter, the Company initiated
a transformational capital raising, with $9 million raised in May-June, and the announcement of a substantial
drilling program including a planned 5,000 metres of RC drilling, 5,000 metres of diamond drilling and
20,000 metres of auger drilling.
Post reporting period, the exploration results have continued to impress with auger drilling increasing the
Bankan footprint to 1.6km-long and the Company uncovering a range of new regional targets including
Bankan Creek and SE Saman. Ongoing reverse circulation and diamond drilling has extended the
mineralisation at depth and the Company has confirmed the presence of a large mineralised system at NE
Bankan straddling the adjacent Kaninko and Saman permits.
As Chairman, it has been immensely satisfying to watch the Company rewarded for its approach to gold
discovery and a firm vindication of Managing Director Paul Roberts’ persistence with ground acquisition in
new areas coupled with careful cash conservation in the preceding years, now being rewarded with what is
emerging as a large new gold discovery.
Our objectives for the 2020-21 Financial Year are to complete further drilling programs on the Bankan Project
with the aim of producing a Maiden Resource Estimate by mid-2021. Greenfields exploration elsewhere in
Guinea will remain a core activity and we will continue early-stage exploration across the Guinea portfolio
with the Koundian, Kankan and Nonta Permits representing enticing opportunities.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our joint venture partners in Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso for
their continued support and counsel as we work together for mutual benefit and for their efforts which have
advanced the interests of Predictive throughout the past year.
As Chairman, I thank you for your support throughout 2019-20 and hope that our progress during the
forthcoming year will continue to add value to your investment in Predictive. I would like to thank my fellow
board members and management as well as our in-country staff for all their efforts and success during the
past year.
Yours Sincerely
Phillip Jackson
Non-Executive Chairman

2020 Annual Report | 5
Review of Operations
GUINEA (PDI 100%-OWNED)
In September 2018, the Company completed a district-scale review of Guinea’s Siguiri Basin,
confirming the region as being both highly prospective for gold mineralisation and underexplored.
The Siguiri Basin is part of the richly mineralised West African Birimian gold belt and consists largely of
metasediments with minor granitic rocks, metavolcanics and mafic to ultramafic intrusives.
Over the past 2 years, Predictive has built a strong land position in the Siguiri Basin, now holding
861km2 across 10 permits with all Projects identified utilising the Company’s PredictoreTM methodology
(Figure 1).
Figure 1 - Location of Predictive permits in Guinea. The Kaninko and Saman permits together constitute the Bankan Project
PredictoreTM assists the Company in identifying structures deep in the earth’s crust which are thought
to have channelled large quantities of gold-bearing fluid, generating well mineralised gold belts
including large gold deposits at surface.
6 | 2020 Annual Report
THE BANKAN PROJECT (KANINKO, SAMAN, ARGO AND BOKORO PERMITS)
In July 2019, Predictive was granted the Kaninko Permit near the town of Kouroussa in the Siguiri
Basin (Figure 2). Grant of the tenement, located approximately 10km from the Kouroussa gold deposit,
laid the basis for the Company’s growth over the reporting period, with exploration activity and
drilling delivering encouraging high-grade results, culminating in additional permit acquisitions and
identification of the NE Bankan gold discovery.

Figure 2 – Location of the Kaninko, Saman, Argo and Bokoro Permits – which constitute the Bankan Project.
Initial exploration work began in September 2019 with channel sampling at the Kaninko Permit
area returning encouraging grades 1. In the following months, the Company collected samples from
artisanal mine dumps which in turn allowed the Company to identify three prospects for drilling
including North East (NE) Bankan, Bankan Creek and the Bankan East Prospects 2.
In late 2019, the Company completed soil sampling, trenching and shallow power auger drilling
programs, designed to identify targets for deeper Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drilling (DD)
programs. The power auger results from NE Bankan outlined an inferred NNE trending gold zone 460m
long and up to 300m wide open to the north and south (Figure 3).

In March 2020, a 2,200m angled Air-Core (AC) and RC program was completed, testing beneath the
better power auger gold intercepts and gold-mineralised trenches. The results of the drilling program
confirmed a significant gold discovery at NE Bankan. Drilling demonstrated the presence of a very
broad, north-trending zone containing some high-grade gold intercepts, which was interpreted to be
at least 450m long, and open in all directions and at depth (Figure 4).

The AC/RC drilling results prompted immediate follow-up exploration activity with power auger
drilling re-starting in late April 2020. This auger program was designed to explore the full horizontal
extent of the recent NE Bankan gold discovery. Results from 124 shallow power auger holes (2,423m)
successfully doubled the strike of the gold anomaly at NE Bankan from approximately 0.5km to 1km
(Figure 5) and identified a possible new high-grade gold zone on the northernmost line drilled to date.

The first round of shallow drilling at NE Bankan uncovered a new, very wide, shallow gold with thick
intersections starting almost at surface, and open in all directions. The NE Bankan discovery, plus a
transformational capital raising, set up the Project for the largest drilling program in the Company’s
history.
The results also motivated the Company to strengthen its land position in the area, with the con-
version of the Saman Reconnaissance Authorisation to an Exploration Permit, directly abutting the
Kaninko Permit, and allowing the Company to drill further to the north along strike from the original
NE Bankan discovery6 .

In early June 2020 there were five rigs on site with concurrent power auger, RC and DD programs in
progress7 . This proved rewarding for the Company as further auger drilling results expanded the strike
length to approximately 1.3 kilometres on both the Kaninko and Saman Permits8 (Figure 6).

encouraging grades returned over large true widths in fresh rock (Figures 11-12). Drilling was directed
from west to east and intersected the gold mineralisation in fresh rock almost at right angles to the
mineralisation’s dip. True widths are interpreted to be 95% of downhole intercept lengths in the below

COTE D’IVOIRE
RESOLUTE MINING JV (RSG 76.5% - PDI 23.5%)
In recent years Predictive has expanded its ground position in Cote D’Ivoire. 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 as 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 an
attractive exploration investment destination.
Predictive has been operating in Cote D’Ivoire since 2013 and regards it as a highly attractive
destination for mining investment, both because of its high prospectivity for gold discovery and for
its deserved reputation as an investor-friendly jurisdiction. Increased corporate activity is further
validating the interest within the country with a number of ongoing transactions including Perseus
Mining Limited’s (ASX: PRU) takeover of Exore Resources (ASX: ERX) via a scheme of arrangement
and Shandong Gold Mining’s unconditional off-market bid for Cardinal Resources Ltd (ASX:CDV)
(TSX:CDV). The prevalence of a number of large scale producers such as Barrick Gold Corp (NYSE:GOLD),
Endeavour Mining (TSX: EDV) and Perseus Mining Limited gives further credibility to the potential for
gold discovery and production within Cote D’Ivoire.
FERKESSEDOUGOU NORTH
OUARIGUE SOUTH PROSPECT
Located in northern Cote D’Ivoire, directly adjacent to Burkina Faso’s southern border, the JV undertook
a diamond drilling (DD) program in the June Quarter of 2019 consisting of nine-holes (totalling 1,059m).
The program was designed to explore the shape and distribution of the Ouarigue South gold deposit
with better results including 45.3m at 3.16g/t gold from 45.9m including 9m at 10.31g/t gold16.
In early 2020, a follow-up nine-hole DD program (totalling 1,659m) was completed with better
intercepts of 51.0m at 1.27g/t gold from 169.0m and 14.0m at 10.74g/t gold from 33.0m17 . The drilling
confirmed a continuous easterly-dipping, gold-mineralised zone, extending from surface to a vertical
depth of 175m, which remains open at depth (Figure 16).

BOUNDIALI
The Boundiali Project consists of two permits – Boundiali North and Boundiali South – which cover
more than 35km of strike length of a very well-mineralised greenstone belt, which includes the
Sissingue gold mine in Cote D’Ivoire and Resolute’s flagship Syama mine in Mali.
During the September 2019 quarter, the Joint Venture completed several exploration programs across
the Boundiali Project, including trenching (totalling 6,809m) and a 91-hole RC drilling program.
The trenching was designed to identify new targets in shallow mineralisation, with RC drilling to
test underneath higher-grade trench results in Boundiali North and to infill previous drilling on the
Boundiali South permit.
BOUNDIALI NORTH - BN1/BN2 PROSPECTS
The RC drilling confirmed the discovery of primary gold mineralisation beneath targets BN1 and BN2
with some holes returning wide zones of lower grade mineralisation including multiple intercepts
above 0.5g/t gold, better intersections included:
• BNRC012 - 5m at 3.49g/t gold from 28m
• BNRC014 - 7m at 1.43g/t gold from 18m
• BNRC015 - 8m at 1.80g/t gold from 35m
• BNRC016 - 3m at 6.61g/t gold from 45m
• BNRC031 - 11m at 1.20g/t gold from 4m
• BNRC031 - 30m at 1.08g/t gold from 32m
• BNRC032 - 10m at 3.14g/t gold from 53m
• BNRC032 - 32m at 1.46g/t gold from 80m
BOUNDIALI SOUTH - NYANGBOUE PROSPECT
During the period, a 31-hole hole RC infill drilling program, testing a 720m section of the 1.2km-long
Nyangboue gold mineralised zone, was completed with highly encouraging results including18:
• BRC186 - 2m at 7.87g/t gold from 62m
• BRC190 - 10m at 1.5g/t gold from 49m
• BRC191 - 2m at 5.18g/t gold from 2m
• BRC193 - 4m at 4.65g/t gold from 0m
• BRC196 - 2m at 16.12g/t gold from 18m
• BRC197 - 2m at 5.36g/t gold from 64m
A follow up drilling program was completed with 16-holes of RC drilling returning numerous significant
gold results (Figure 17), including19:
• BRC208 - 3m at 14.97g/t gold from 9m
• BRC206 - 13m at 1.92g/t gold from 68m
• BRC209 – 16m at 1.64g/t gold from 7m
• BRC209 – 10m at 2.32g/t gold from 146m
• BRC202 – 4m at 3.56g/t gold from 109m
• BRC201 - 5m at 2.31g/t gold from 29m
• BRC202 - 6m at 2.48g/t gold from 71m
• BRC206 - 6m at 2.68g/t gold from 116m
• BRC213 - 7m at 1.92g/t gold from 112m
The results provided additional positive indications of the growing scale of the Boundiali gold
mineralised systems. Post reporting period, the JV began work on the Boundiali permit, with a power
auger drilling program completed.

BOCANDA NORTH
Post reporting date the company announced it had signed an earn-in and JV agreement with Glomin
Services (Glomin)20, to explore Predictive’s Bocanda Exploration Permit and the Issia and Tieningboue
Permit applications, all located within Cote d’Ivoire (Figure 18) .
The two stage earn-in agreement will allow Glomin to obtain an 80% interest in Predictive’s Cote
D’Ivoire Subsidiary (Ivoirian Resources SARL) by managing and funding exploration activities on the
above Permits and applications, with Predictive free carried at 20% until a Mining Lease is granted.
Stage 1: Earn an 80% interest by spending at least EUR $200,000 on the Bocanda Permit within the 12
months from agreement signature.
Stage 2: Exploration activities including, in the event that a successful discovery is made, Ore Resource
estimation and completion of a Pre-Feasibility study together with grant of a Mining Lease (known
as an Exploitation Permit in Cote d’Ivoire), while maintaining the properties in good stead through
completion of statutory expenditure and reporting on the three properties.
Following grant of a Mining Lease, Predictive will have the option to contribute to future expenses
including mine development costs or dilute to a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on future gold
production. Glomin may, at any time, repurchase from Predictive half of the royalty for a purchase price
of US$10,000,000, reducing the royalty to a 1% NSR.
If Glomin elects to discontinue work on any of the three Permits in the first 4 years from signature of
the agreement, the Permit in question will be returned to Predictive at no cost.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
In Financial Year 2019-2020 Predictive made significant progress in realising value from its 100%-owned portfolio of
projects located in Guinea. The Company made a number of significant discoveries at the Bankan project with 17,000m
of auger drilling, 2,200 of air-core drilling, 5,500m of reverse circulation drilling and 3,700m of diamond drilling
completed to date, delivering the Bankan and Bankan Creek discoveries and confirming a large gold mineralised system
which remains open at depth and along strike.
Post reporting period, the exploration results have continued to impress with auger drilling increasing the Bankan
footprint to 1.6km-long and the Company uncovering a range of new regional targets including Bankan Creek, SE Bankan
and Bankan West.
Follow-up reverse circulation and diamond drilling has extended the mineralisation at depth and the Company has
confirmed the presence of a large mineralised system across both adjacent Kaninko and Saman permits.
The impact of COVID-19 on Predictive’s operations has been limited. The Company has continued operations throughout
the pandemic with appropriate hygiene protocols in place both in Guinea and Australia. The closure of the Guinea
border for some months prevented staff from coming to or going from Guinea, however samples (for analysis) and
drilling supplies continued to flow across the border with Mali meaning that the Bankan drilling programs continued
Permits: Boundiali, Boundiali North, Ferkessedougou North, Kounahiri, Kokoumbo, Beriaboukro plus Odienne North and
largely unaffected.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FINANCIAL YEAR 2019-2020 EXPLORATION ACTIVITY
Project Highlights
Bankan Project (Kaninko and Saman Permits, Guinea) - Power Auger (Auger) and subsequent Air Core (AC) drilling on
the NE Bankan and Bankan Creek prospects discovered significant gold mineralisation in both areas. The AC drill results
demonstrated the presence of a broad zone of gold mineralisation at NE Bankan and included best intercepts of 46m at
6.6g/t gold and 42m at 2.9g/t gold, both of which ended in gold mineralisation. AC/Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at
Bankan Creek also intersected 42m at 2.1g/t gold, which also ended in gold mineralisation. Subsequent power auger
drilling extended the length of the NE Bankan shallow plus-0.25g/t gold footprint from 500m long to 1.3km long. A major
combined program of Auger, RC and Diamond Drilling (DD) was initiated during the June Quarter and continued on for
most of the 2020-21 September Quarter.
Ferkessedougou North Project (Cote D’Ivoire) – Follow-up DD at the Ouarigue South prospect obtained additional
excellent drill results and demonstrated that gold mineralisation extends to a depth of approximately 180m. The best
new gold intercepts were 14.0m at 10.7g/t gold, 51m at 1.3 g/t gold and 40.4m at 1.9g/t gold.
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 $8,961,651 from 30 June 2019 to 30 June 2020. This net movement is
largely due to the following factors:
$11.4m net capital raising;
Expenditure on exploring and evaluating the assets in Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire; and
Administration expenses.
•
•
•
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
No significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs occurred during the financial year, with the exception of a capital
raising net of $11.4 million.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF REPORTING PERIOD
The Company recognises the current global COVID-19 pandemic may impact on its operations. Specifically,
Government restrictions may:
(i)
prevent Company staff or contractors from carrying out their exploration activities; or
(ii)
impede the supply of equipment or other exploration consumables required to do the exploration work.
The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The
Company’s share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused
by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact
the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The ability to freely move people
and equipment to and from exploration projects may cause delays or cost increases. The effects of COVID-19 on the
Company's share price may also impede the ability to raise capital, or require the Company to issue capital at a discount,
which may in turn cause dilution to shareholders.
On 6 August 2020, the Company signed and earn-in and Joint Venture (JV) agreement with Glomin Services Limited to
explore the Company’s Bocanda permit and Issia and Tieningboue applications, all located within Cote d’Ivoire. The
Company will be free carried at 20% until a Mining Lease is granted, after which the Company will have the option to
contribute to future expenses or dilute to a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on future gold production. Under the
agreement, Glomin may, at any time, repurchase from the Company half of the royalty for a purchase price of
US$10,000,000 reducing the royalty to a 1% NSR. If Glomin elects to discontinue work on the three permits in the first
four years of this agreement, the permit in question will be returned to Predictive at no cost. While Glomin is operating,
it will be responsible for ensuring that the permits and applications are kept in good standing with the Cote d’Ivoire
Mines Ministry.
There has not been any other matter or circumstance arising after the balance date that has significantly affected or
could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the

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

(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 17 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.
Note to the Financial
Statement
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the
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.

(ii) Joint ventures
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights
to the net assets of the joint venture. The Group’s investment in its joint venture is accounted for using the equity
method.
Under the equity method, the investment in the joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the
investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition
date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised
nor individually tested for impairment.
The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (OCI) reflects the Group’s share of the results of
operations of the joint venture. Any change in OCI of that investee is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition,
when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of
any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from
transactions between the Group and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of the joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-
controlling interests in the subsidiaries of joint venture.
The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary,
adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the joint
venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between
the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value, then recognises the loss as ‘Share of profit of a joint
venture’ in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. On loss of joint control over the joint
venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the
carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and
proceeds from disposal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
(iii) Reimbursement of the costs of the operator of the joint arrangement
When the Group, acting as an operator or manager of a joint arrangement, receives reimbursement of direct costs
recharged to the joint arrangement, such recharges represent reimbursements of costs that the operator incurred as
an agent for the joint arrangement and therefore have no effect on profit or loss. When the Group charges a
management fee (based on a fixed percentage of total costs incurred for the year) to cover other general costs incurred
in carrying out the activities on behalf of the joint arrangement, it is not acting as an agent. Therefore, the general
overhead expenses and the management fee are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income as an expense and income, respectively.
Other revenue
(c)
Income Tax
(income).
(b)
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of calculating the amortised
cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate,
which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense
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.

which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset

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

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.
(d)
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.
(e)
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.
(f)
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)
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the
initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently
measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on
both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial
asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the
Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of
recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading,
where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative;
or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or
loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the Group intends
to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at
amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends
upon the Group's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk
has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available,
without undue cost or effort to obtain.

(i)
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected
credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is
attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit
impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's
lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the
probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the
original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within
other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance 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 - 10 years
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
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.
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
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

Where required by accounting standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in

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.
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).

Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
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.

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.
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).

(l)
Impairment of Assets (continued)
(q)
Contributed Equity
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)
Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in
associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of
the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other
comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-
acquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in
the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends
received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group's share of losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured
long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments
on behalf of the associate.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the associate and
recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value
of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
(n)
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.
(o)
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.
(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.
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.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

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.
$5,048,178 has been capitalised as at 30 June 2020 (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.
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 21. 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.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
Key Judgements - Recoverability of Intercompany Loan
Within non-current assets of the parent entity (see note 23) there is a loan due from the 100% subsidiaries of $340,363
which is considered fully recoverable. The recoverability of this loan is dependent upon the successful development or
sale of exploration assets in Burkina Faso and Cote D’Ivoire.
Key Judgements - Joint arrangements
Judgement is required to determine when the Group has joint control, which requires an assessment of the relevant
activities and when the decisions in relation to those activities require unanimous consent. The Group has determined
that the relevant activities for its joint arrangements are those relating to the operating and capital decisions of the
arrangement, such as: the approval the capital expenditure programme for each year, and appointing, remunerating
and terminating the key management personnel or service providers of the joint arrangement. The considerations made
in determining joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.
Judgement is also required to classify a joint arrangement. Classifying the arrangement requires the Group to assess
their rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Specifically, it considers:
The structure of the joint arrangement – whether it is structured through a separate vehicle
•
• When the arrangement is structured through a separate vehicle, the Group also considers the rights and
obligations arising from:
The legal form of the separate vehicle
The terms of the contractual arrangement
Other facts and circumstances (when relevant)
•
•
•
This assessment often requires significant judgement, and a different conclusion on joint control and also whether the
arrangement is a JO or a JV, may materially impact the accounting. The Group has a joint arrangement which is
structured through a separate vehicle, being a company structure. This structure, and the terms of the contractual
arrangement indicate that the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Given this, the Group then had
to assess the other facts and circumstances relating to this arrangement. After undertaking this assessment, there were
a number of indicators for both a joint venture classification and a joint operation classification. Significant judgement
was therefore required to determine how these factors would be analysed. The final conclusion was that the
arrangement was a joint venture.
Key judgements - Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may
have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products
and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates.
Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the
financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the
consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date

Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

adopted by the consolidated entity.
AASB 16 Leases
The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees eliminates
the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets,
right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line
operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included in
operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier
periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease
expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results
improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For
classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal
portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does
not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.
Impact of adoption
AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated.
There was no impact on recognition in the statement of financial position as a result of the adoptions.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020.
The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations,
most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and
early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new
guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the consolidated entity has relied on the
existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise
dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity may need to review such policies under
the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material
impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.

NOTE 6: EXPLORATION, EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT ASSETS (continued)
NOTE 7: INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES (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 no 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 (t) - Key Judgements - Exploration
and Evaluation Expenditure. 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.

The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, receivables and payables.
(A)
CREDIT RISK (Continued)
The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 9 as detailed in the accounting
policies to these financial statements, are as follows:
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

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.
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.

(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 0.42% (2019: 1.23%). The table below

NOTE 22: EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
The Company recognises the current global COVID-19 pandemic may impact on its operations. Specifically,
(i) prevent Company staff or contractors from carrying out their exploration activities; or
(ii) impede the supply of equipment or other exploration consumables required to do the exploration work.
The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The
Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by
COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the
Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The Company's ability to freely move
people and equipment to and from exploration projects may cause delays or cost increases. The effects of COVID-19 on
the Company's Share price may also impede the Company's ability to raise capital or require the Company to issue capital
at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to Shareholders.
On 6 August 2020, the Company signed and earn-in and Joint Venture (JV) agreement with Glomin Services Limited to
explore the Company’s Bocanda permit and Issia and Tieningboue applications, all located within Cote d’Ivoire. The
Company will be free carried at 20% until a Mining Lease is granted, after which the Company will have the option to
contribute to future expenses or dilute to a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on future gold production. Under the
agreement, Glomin may, at any time, repurchase from the Company half of the royalty for a purchase price of
US$10,000,000 reducing the royalty to a 1% NSR. If Glomin elects to discontinue work on the three permits in the first
four years of this agreement, the permit in question will be returned to Predictive at no cost. While Glomin is operating,
it will be responsible for ensuring that the permits and applications are kept in good standing with the Cote d’Ivoire
Mines Ministry.
There are no other matters or circumstances arising 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.

NOTE 22: EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
The Company recognises the current global COVID-19 pandemic may impact on its operations. Specifically,
Government restrictions may:
(i) prevent Company staff or contractors from carrying out their exploration activities; or
(ii) impede the supply of equipment or other exploration consumables required to do the exploration work.
The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The
Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by
COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the
Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The Company's ability to freely move
people and equipment to and from exploration projects may cause delays or cost increases. The effects of COVID-19 on
the Company's Share price may also impede the Company's ability to raise capital or require the Company to issue capital
at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to Shareholders.
On 6 August 2020, the Company signed and earn-in and Joint Venture (JV) agreement with Glomin Services Limited to
explore the Company’s Bocanda permit and Issia and Tieningboue applications, all located within Cote d’Ivoire. The
Company will be free carried at 20% until a Mining Lease is granted, after which the Company will have the option to
contribute to future expenses or dilute to a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on future gold production. Under the
agreement, Glomin may, at any time, repurchase from the Company half of the royalty for a purchase price of
US$10,000,000 reducing the royalty to a 1% NSR. If Glomin elects to discontinue work on the three permits in the first
four years of this agreement, the permit in question will be returned to Predictive at no cost. While Glomin is operating,
it will be responsible for ensuring that the permits and applications are kept in good standing with the Cote d’Ivoire
Mines Ministry.
There are no other matters or circumstances arising 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.

48PKF PerthKey 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 year. 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 audit opinion on these matters.For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed these matters are provided in that context. 1.Valuation of capitalised exploration expenditureWhy significantHow our audit addressed the key audit matterAs at 30 June 2020the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $5,048,178(2019:$1,923,318), as disclosed in Note 6. This represents 36.5% of total assets of the consolidated entity.The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is outlined in Note1(k)with the nature of critical estimates and judgements relating to this balance outlined in Note 1(s). Significant judgement is required:in determining whether facts and circumstancesindicate that the exploration and evaluation assetsshould be tested for impairment in accordancewith Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6Exploration for and Evaluation of MineralResources (“AASB 6”); andin determining the treatment of exploration andevaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB6, and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy.In particular:owhether the particular areas of interest meetthe recognition conditions for an asset; andowhich elements of exploration and evaluationexpenditures qualify for capitalisation for eacharea of interest.Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:conducting a detailed review of management’sassessment of impairment trigger events prepared inaccordance with AASB 6 including:oassessing whether the rights to tenure of theareas of interest remained current at reportingdate as well as confirming that rights to tenureare expected to be renewed for tenements thatwill expire in the near future;oobtaining specific representations with thedirectors and management as to the status ofongoing exploration programmes for the areasof interest, as well as assessing if there wasevidence that a decision had been made todiscontinue activities in any specific areas ofinterest; andoobtaining and assessing evidence of theconsolidated entity’s future intention for theareas of interest, including reviewing futurebudgeted expenditure and related workprogrammes.considering whether exploration activities for theareas of interest had reached a stage where areasonable assessment of economically recoverablereserves existed;testing, on a sample basis, exploration andevaluation expenditure incurred during the yearforcompliance with AASB 6 and the consolidatedentity’s accounting policy; andassessing the appropriateness ofthe relateddisclosures in Notes 1(k), 1(s) and 6.

Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, 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, with the exception of the Remuneration Report.
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.

Responsibilities of Directors’ for the Financial Report
The Directors of the company 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 consolidated entity’s ability 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 consolidated entity or to cease
operations, or have 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 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 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 judgement 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
consolidated entity’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by the Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ 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 consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
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.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the group financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.
50
2020 Annual Report | 73
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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards
applied.
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
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Predictive Discovery Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company 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.
