London- and Botswana-listed Botswana Minerals has started the Phase 1 work programme at its highly prospective copper licences in Ngamiland, north-west Botswana, where the company holds significant ground in the underexplored north-eastern part of the Damara Belt.

The immediate objective is to refine and rank the most promising targets across the licence package and define the geophysical priorities which will lead to identifying drill targets.

The output of Phase 1 will be a technically ranked portfolio of opportunities and a defined geophysical targeting framework. Subsequent field programmes and drill targets can be generated with greater confidence.

"Our objective is to identify significant copper deposits in Botswana where we have 25 years of operational experience. Our AI work has allowed [Botswana Minerals] to target and obtain highly prospective copper ground.

"The next phase is to integrate more data into the model to refine potential drill targets. Further data processing and tighter definition of targets is expected to lead to a higher chance of success in future drilling programmes," says Botswana Minerals chairperson John Teeling.
