Botswana Minerals (LSE:BMIN) has moved its AI-assisted exploration programme in north-west Botswana from regional data analysis to targeted fieldwork as it works to identify potential drill targets across its Ngamiland licences.
On the company’s southern licences in eastern Ngamiland, AI-based analysis has identified nine principal corridors considered prospective for copper mineralisation. These include a priority target located next to historical copper oxide and carbonate mineralisation.
Botswana Minerals is also examining whether the geology identified within its licence area could have a regional connection with Namibia’s Matchless Belt.
On the northern licences, the company is preparing to begin field sampling across targets identified as priorities through AI analysis and geochemical data. The work is intended to further define these areas and identify specific locations for potential drilling.
Data generated from the sampling programme will be assessed alongside geophysical information and historical drill core as Botswana Minerals determines which targets should receive further exploration work.
The company said the planned next stages of the programme will be funded from its existing cash resources.
