JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – A seven-person geological team from Russian diamond mining company Alrosa has arrived in Botswana, where they will work with staff members of Aim-listed Botswana Diamonds on an exploration programme on licences in the diamond province of Orapa.

Alrosa and Botswana Diamonds were undertaking a joint venture (JV) exploration programme, with drilling on identified drill sites at anomaly AN117-2 on Block PL117 to start in ten days.

The JV team would also carry out a detailed ground geophysics programme in the area of anomaly AN117-1 on Block PL117 to target drill sites, as well as a widespread geophysics and ground sampling programme on Botswana Diamonds’ PL206 to PL210 licences.

“I am pleased to inform shareholders of the continued progress that we are making in Orapa. The geological team provided by our JV partners Alrosa will work in tandem with the existing Botswana team.

“With drilling commencing in the next ten days, I look forward to updating the market with initial drill results in the next month,” commented chairperson John Teeling.
