IN BRIEF: Botswana Diamonds completes gravity survey in Botswana

Botswana Diamonds PLC - Botswana and South Africa-focused diamond explorer - Completes gravity survey over four high-grade geophysical targets near a kimberlite pipe in Botswana.

The survey on the KX36 size anomaly is being repeated and correlated with previous results for confirmation. Adds that the next step is to begin drilling. "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," says Botswana Diamonds.
