Through its collaboration with UK-based International Geoscience Services Limited, BOD has developed \u201cmineral prospectivity technology\u201d named Xplore.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman John Teeling expressed the challenge of analyzing Botswana\u2019s extensive mineral database efficiently due to its sheer size. With the second-largest diamond exploration database in Botswana, comprising 380 gigabytes of data and 260,000 files, BOD covers approximately 95,000 square kilometers of data, including 375,000 kilometers of airborne geophysical data, 606 ground geophysical surveys, around 228,000 soil sample results, and 32,000 drill hole logs.<\/p>\n<p>The AI-driven \u201csystem acts much like a geologist but can function quicker and more efficiently,\u201d said BOD in a statement. \u201cVast data-sets are processed through AI that finds logical gaps in the data and learns to correct them. This exercise is expected to yield fresh insights that will offer drillable targets previously unseen.\u201d Moreover, Xplore\u2019s capabilities extend beyond diamond detection, as it claims it can also identify other mineral deposits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
