Botswana Diamonds JV completes drill programme

The programme targeted an anomaly discovered by Botswana Diamonds’ joint venture partner Alrosa using its Transient Electromagnetic Method (TEM), reinforced by soil sampling which had earlier discovered significant Kimberlite Indicator Minerals (KIMs).

Two of the three holes intersected the anomaly. The holes intersected intensively altered ultramafic rock. While kimberlite is an ultramafic rock, initial field analysis suggests this rock is older than the kimberlites found in the Orapa area.
