Botswana Diamonds has recently applied for eleven Prospecting Licenses in Botswana to explore polymetallic targets discovered through an Artificial Intelligence (AI) exploration program. This initiative encompasses a range of minerals, including Copper, Silver, Cobalt, Gold, Nickel, Zinc, and Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). The licenses cover an area of 7,322 square kilometers.
The AI-driven exploration program expanded its scope beyond diamonds to identify additional polymetallic deposits. It has identified five key mineralization types for exploration: Besshi deposits focusing on Copper, Greenstone targeting Copper and Nickel, Mississippi Valley-type deposits for Lead and Zinc, Sedimentary exhalative deposits for Lead, Zinc, and Silver, and Ultramafic deposits for Platinum Group Metals.
Chairman John Teeling remarked on the success of the program, stating that the AI technology has revealed various opportunities for unknown minerals. Following initial findings, the company has applied for eleven licenses, which have now been accepted, marking a significant step in their exploration efforts.
In conclusion, Botswana Diamonds has successfully expanded its exploration activities in Botswana by applying for eleven Prospecting Licenses targeting various polymetallic minerals through an AI-driven program. This initiative highlights the effectiveness of modern technology in discovering mineral opportunities, underlining the company’s commitment to diversifying its resources beyond diamonds.
