Good news on the mining front

Local and foreign companies have been carrying out a number of mining explorations in the process of which discoveries of unknown deposits were made.

New technologies are also resulting in the rehabilitation and expansion of a few old mines, some of which had long been abandoned. The area around Francistown is already benefiting considerably from this work as more and more people there find jobs on the mines and associated industries. An offshoot that comes to mind is the current boom in the property market in Francistown.
