Diamond exploration and project development company, Botswana Diamonds, has completed a geological survey over four high-grade geophysical targets in the southern African country. Preliminary results suggest that at least one of the targets give a strong indication of kimberlites.
Situated approximately 6km from the existing KX36 diamond discovery, the gravity survey will be repeated and correlated with previous results before the company commences exploratory drilling operations.
“This is the first strong indication of additional kimberlites around the KX36 discovery,” stated Botswana Diamonds Chairman, John Teeling, adding, “The anomaly has a strong gravity signature which gives us confidence that when drilled, it will prove to be a kimberlite.”
Poised to upgrade the existing resources in the area, the geophysical survey falls in line with Botswana Diamonds’ strategy to explore the company’s productive licenses in Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
