Botswana Diamonds Expands Exploration with Polymetallic Licenses
Botswana Diamonds has applied for eleven Prospecting Licenses to explore polymetallic resources identified by AI technology, focusing on minerals including Copper, Cobalt, and Gold. The licenses cover 7,322 square kilometers and target five mineralization types. Chairman John Teeling confirmed that the applications were accepted and emphasized the program’s success in identifying additional mineral opportunities.
Botswana Diamonds has expanded its exploration efforts beyond diamonds by applying for eleven Prospecting Licenses in Botswana, targeting key polymetallic deposits identified through a recent Artificial Intelligence (AI) exploration program. These licenses encompass 7,322 square kilometers and focus on various mineralization types, including Copper, Silver, Cobalt, Gold, Nickel, Zinc, and Platinum Group Metals (PGM).
The Prospecting License applications concentrate on five primary mineralization types:
1. Besshi deposits: Predominantly Copper.
2. Greenstone: Copper and Nickel.
3. MVT deposits: Lead and Zinc.
4. Sedex deposits: Lead, Zinc, and Silver.
5. Ultramafic deposits: Platinum Group Metals.
According to Chairman John Teeling, the exploration program initially aimed at diamonds, but AI analysis revealed additional mineral opportunities, particularly in copper, cobalt, zinc, and gold. He remarked that they have successfully applied for eleven licenses, which have been accepted, underscoring the program’s effectiveness.
In conclusion, Botswana Diamonds has taken a significant step in diversifying its exploration activities by applying for eleven Prospecting Licenses over extensive areas in Botswana for polymetallic resources. This move highlights the successful implementation of AI technology to unearth valuable minerals beyond diamonds, enabling the company to potentially discover new opportunities in the mining sector.
