Predictive Discovery Ltd (ASX:PDI) has received the final batch of drill results from its Bobosso Joint Venture Project in Cote D’Ivoire.
Notably, results included a broad mineralised intercept of 56 metres at 1.58 g/t gold.
The 45-hole, 4,244-metre reverse circulation program was designed to explore six small target areas within the large Bobosso gold mineralised system.
Two drill programs now complete, full potential yet to be realised
Paul Roberts, managing director, said: “These results add to the good initial drill assays we reported on 16th January 2018.

“Two drill programs have now been completed by the joint venture, both of which have yielded encouraging results and added to our knowledge of this very large gold mineralised system.
“We remain confident that there are more gold mineralised zones with good continuity to be found at Bobosso - both as extensions to the zones we have already drilled and in new, as yet untested, areas.”
Best new intercepts
The latest batch of drill results includes:
• 56 metres at 1.58 g/t gold from 47 metres including 3 metres at 6.10 g/t gold;
• 18 metres at 2.05 g/t gold from 9 metres including 4 metres at 5.59 g/t gold;
• 8 metres at 1.95 g/t gold from 31 metres;
• 8 metres at 1.73 g/t gold from 19 metres;
• 8 metres at 1.58 g/t gold from 98 metres;
• 1 metre at 15.53 g/t gold from 61 metres; and
• 4 metres at 3.05 g/t gold from 23 metres.
Six zones identified, all open along strike
Six zones within the large Bobosso gold mineralised system have now been tested by drilling.
The zones have mineralised strike lengths ranging from 100 to 300 metres, all of which are open along strike and could therefore become larger.
Further drilling expected in 2018
The next exploration program, both for the Bobosso gold mineralised system and the surrounding exploration permits, will be determined in the next few weeks.
More drilling is expected during 2018.
Predictive also has drilling planned at the Bira prospect in Burkina Faso.
