Highlights
- Predictive Discovery (PDI) reports high-grade gold intercepts at the Bankan Gold Project in Guinea.
- Drill results include 6 metres at 19.98 g/t gold, with more assays pending.
- Resource estimate expected in the first quarter of 2025 for multiple targets.
Predictive Discovery (ASX:PDI) has reported promising gold discoveries at the Sounsoun target within the Argo area of the Bankan Gold Project in Guinea. The recent drilling campaign produced outstanding results, including an intercept of 6 metres at 19.98 g/t gold from 13 metres, which included 2 metres at an exceptional grade of 53.92 g/t gold from 15 metres. This progress highlights the potential of the project, as results for another 10 holes spanning 1,841 metres are still awaited. These findings will play a crucial role in determining the maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Argo area, targeted for release in the first quarter of 2025.
The company has also resumed drilling activities at Fouwagbe, aiming to refine resource definition and test additional exploration areas. At the same time, exploratory drilling continues at the Argo and Bokoro South regions, forming part of a larger strategy to expand the overall resource base within the Bankan Gold Project. The existing 5.38-million-ounce resource base at the project is being supported by systematic drilling and exploration efforts.
Drilling at Sounsoun has revealed mineralisation associated with a shear zone that demonstrates a strike length of at least 300 metres and remains open at depth. In addition to the high-grade gold intercepts, other significant results include 13 metres at 3.28 g/t gold from 132 metres, which featured 2 metres at 10.98 g/t from 135 metres. Other intercepts include 15 metres at 1.34 g/t gold from 49 metres and 12 metres at 0.58 g/t gold from 141 metres, with a notable 1 metre at 28.19 g/t gold from 157 metres. These results underline the prospectivity of the Bankan Gold Project and its ability to yield strong mineralisation across various zones.
The upcoming maiden resource estimates for Sounsoun and Fouwagbe, alongside the 800W target in the NEB area, will provide a clearer picture of the project’s overall potential. Early-stage exploration is also progressing at Argo and the southern parts of the Bokoro permit, with efforts focused on identifying additional high-priority targets.
Predictive Discovery (PDI) continues to make progress at Bankan, with its comprehensive drilling programs designed to support long-term resource growth and development. With multiple targets being assessed and maiden resource estimates on track for early 2025, the project is gaining momentum as a key contributor to the region’s gold potential.
