Botswana Diamonds plc announced it is about to embark on follow-up ground geophysics on four anomalies that were identified in the Kalahari contiguous with the Company's KX36 project. They were identified by the heavy mineral train flowing from KX36 where it is thought likely that there are undiscovered buried kimberlites in the vicinity of KX36 as kimberlites generally occur in clusters and not in isolation. The KX36 project is a 3.5 Ha kimberlite pipe in the Kalahari.

The pipe has resources of 17.9Mt at 35 carats per hundred tonnes ("cpht") (indicated) and 6.7Mt at 36 cpht (inferred) at $65/ct. The modelled grade range is 57-76 cpht at an estimated diamond value of up to $107/ct. Two anomalies identified in PL224/2007 and a further two identified in PL169/2019 will be followed-up with Gravity and Time Domain Electromagnetic Methods following rigorous reprocessing of aeromagnetic data.

The subtle aeromagnetic anomalies proven by ground magnetics will be followed up with the gravity and Time Domain electromagnetic method ("TEMFAST") and accordingly modelled (with integrated magnetics, TEMFAST and gravity modelling) to further verify the shapes and sizes of the targets prior to designing a drill programme. All the targets are within a 6 km radius of KX36 kimberlite pipe and they may be key additions to the existing resources. The new kimberlites targets have great potential to upgrade the existing resources in the area, including at the Ghaghoo Mine, which is currently under care and maintenance and only 60 km away from the KX36 project.
