Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The second phase of the Multidisciplinary Geoscience Survey Mapping has finally taken off.<\/b><\/p>\n

Today, the helicopter that is supposed to be used to conduct this exercise has arrived in the country. It is known as the Multi Disciplinary Geoscience Mapping. The chopper arrived through King Mswati III International Airport.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Noah Nhleko, who is the director at the Geology Departure of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy, the chopper was to conduct the survey in the Shiselweni and Lubombo Regions.<\/p>\n

The second phase was launched in December last year as is expected to take off from today. Nhleko said it was called geoscience because of the use of geology, geochemistry and geophysics.<\/p>\n

Dr Nhleko mentioned that the people from Lubombo and Shiselweni Regions would see a chopper with a circular object used to spot the Minerals around those regions.<\/p>\n

According to local media reports, from 2021 to 2022, the ministry conducted Phase 1 of multi-disciplinary Geoscience Mapping exercise in the Manzini and Hhohho regions, which was worth E17 million. The exercise was aimed at identifying and prioritising mineral targets in the country.<\/p>\n

The E17 million worth survey was groundbreaking as a new group of minerals from Copper-Nickel-Platinum Group Elements were discovered in three different areas in the Hhohho Region, which are Siphocosini, Mhlambanyatsi and LaMgabhi-Luyengo.<\/p>\n
