Predictive Discovery

Predictive Discovery exploration projects
The company is focusing principally on exploration for gold in West Africa with two additional projects for uranium and gold in Australia.



Predictive Discovery's strategic exploration areas in West Africa and Australia



Burkina Faso Projects

The Burkina Faso projects are all located within the Birimian gold belts in West Africa. As Figure 1 shows, these belts contain numerous gold discoveries, a number of which are in production. Many areas of active artisanal mining remain only lightly explored. As a result, further exploration driven by continuing investor and mining company interest is likely to produce more gold discoveries in the years to come.

Bonsiega Project, Burkina Faso

The Bonsiega project consists of six granted exploration permits and one application which together cover 1,186 square kilometres and over 80 kilometres of strike length in the Fada N’Gourma greenstone belt.  PD assembled this ground package over a 12 month period both by applying for ground in its own right and concluding agreements with four other parties.

Tyekanyebi, Burkina Faso

The Tyekanyebi permit application is located within a parallel greenstone belt north-west of the Bonsiega project, the Manga-Sebba Belt. Selection of the area followed the PredictoreTM  methodology. The Tyekanyebi area is a structural target with no known workings and extensive soil cover.


Boussouma, Burkina Faso

The Boussouma area is located in central Burkina Faso in the same greenstone belt which hosts the Bissa Hill, Kalsaka and Seguenega gold deposits.

This area was also selected using the PredictoreTM  methodology. Specifically, a large north-west trending structure is interpreted to pass through the area. In addition, there are known artisanal workings and the host geology is prospective for the discovery of gold. The topography of the southern two thirds of the permit is flat with a large tributary of the Nakambe River traversing it, possibly concealing gold mineralisation below alluvial cover.



Benmara, Northern Territory,  Australia

PD is farming into two exploration licences held by Lagoon Creek Resources Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Laramide Corporation of Canada which owns the Westmoreland uranium deposits in north-west Queensland. The project is located on pastoral leasehold land in the Northern Territory, where uranium mining is permitted.

Skipton, Victoria, Australia

The Skipton Exploration Licence, EL5172, is wholly-owned by PD.  Historic gold production in Victoria is substantial, most of which was derived from Western Victoria. Furthermore, Victoria’s undiscovered gold endowment in covered areas is also considered to be substantial.  PD’s exploration in Victoria is aimed at identifying opportunities for multi-million ounce gold discoveries under cover.
