BoD at Marsfontein and Thorny River
Precision geophysics to zero-in on priority drilling targets Botswana Diamonds (BoD), announce that it has commenced a precision ground geophysics programme to zero-in on potential kimberlite pipes on the prospective Marsfontein and Thorny River properties. The company is focusing on four high-potential targets to finalise early drilling, 1. The largest and most prospective of the anomalies generated by UK group Subterrane’s recent detailed assessment. Geophysics will confirm potential targets for November drilling. 2. An assessment by Canadian group Terra modelling Services identified a further anomaly where geophysics will also confirm a target for November drilling. 3. New Marsfontein anomalies (M9 and M17) which were identified by reviewing historic data. Our own detailed geophysical survey is required to accurately geo-reference the targets for drilling in November. 4. Two thick intersections on Frischgewaagt suggest multiple kimberlite ‘blows’. The company is also un
