(refer Predictive ASX announcements dated 14 December 2016, 2 February 2017 and 28 April 2017).

Aeromagnetics suggests the Leraba Gold Trend is associated with a large-scale flexure on regional scale shear zones. A limited amount of drilling was completed by previous operators from 2018 through 2020 which returned highly encouraging results and confirmed a significant gold discovery at Ouarique South.

Much of the early reconnaissance RC drilling focused on the northeast trending flexure or splay of structures off the main north south trending shear zone (refer Predictive ASX announcement dated 26 June 2018). A 12.5km north south segment of the Leraba trend remains very much unexplored (refer to Figure 2), with localised drilling highlighting the Ourague South discovery and the potential for further discoveries along the 12.5km long N-S segment of the Leraba Gold Trend.

In 2018 through early 2021 a small amount of drilling and trenching was undertaken at the ‘Ouarigue South’ prospect, located in the southern portion of Leraba Gold Trend. Only limited work was completed on the Ouarigue South discovery and minimal activities were completed on the broader Ferke project by the joint venture between Predictive and Toro Gold Limited (with Toro Gold’s interest in the JV acquired by Resolute in 2019) with each previous explorer often focused on more advanced opportunities elsewhere in the West African shield, early success at Ferke was met with very little follow-up.
