Botswana Diamonds PLC announced on Thursday a major milestone in mineral exploration, leveraging cutting-edge AI to identify seven previously unreported kimberlite anomalies across Botswana.Using Planetary AI's 'Xplore' platform, the company analyzed nearly 400,000 kilometers of airborne geophysical and exploration data. Chairman John Teeling expressed enthusiasm for the discovery.One anomaly stands out for its exceptional geological characteristics and has been flagged as particularly promising by the company. This breakthrough reflects Botswana Diamonds' commitment to leveraging advanced technologies to unlock the nation’s diamond potential. The project also uncovered new polymetallic targets, with findings spanning minerals like gold, copper, and platinum group metals.

In April, the UK company Botswana Diamonds announced that it is beginning the search for new diamond deposits using artificial intelligence (AI) in Botswana. AI is already being used for mineral exploration in African countries. For example, the American startup KoBold Metals is undertaking such efforts to discover new copper deposits in Zambia.

Using Planetary AI's 'Xplore' platform, the company analyzed nearly 400,000 kilometers of airborne geophysical and exploration data. Chairman John Teeling expressed enthusiasm for the discovery.
“The identification of seven, previously unreported, anomalies is a major achievement. To discover them in a few short months is a major step forward in mineral exploration,” he said.
One anomaly stands out for its exceptional geological characteristics and has been flagged as particularly promising by the company. This breakthrough reflects
Botswana Diamonds' commitment to leveraging advanced technologies to
