Botswana Diamonds has introduced it is going to start utilizing AI software program on its Botswana database to extend its effectivity when looking for new diamond deposits and different treasured supplies.
The corporate, which holds exploration licences in South Africa and Botswana, expects its first exploration outcomes utilizing the brand new AI strategies “throughout the subsequent 4 to 6 weeks”.
The programme is at the moment evaluating Botswana Diamonds’ database, comprising 375,000km of airborne geophysical information, 606 floor survey outcomes, 228,000 soil-sample outcomes and 32,000 drill gap logs. It’s the second-largest diamond exploration database in Botswana.
Botswana Diamonds is utilizing Planetary AI’s Xplore AI programme developed in collaboration with Worldwide Geoscience Providers.
Botswana Diamonds chairperson John Teeling defined: “Our mineral database in Botswana is solely… too huge for well timed evaluation by people.
“Huge databases are suited to evaluation by computer-based giant information fashions and AI strategies which may analyse substantial quantities of information in a short while. We feed within the information and create the fashions from our current data each theoretical and factual.”

He added that the method adapts within the occasion of inconsistencies or gaps.
The programme makes use of each semantic expertise and machine studying. Semantic expertise is a department of AI targeted on understanding and representing the that means of information, data and data in a machine-reliable format.
The expertise allows computer systems to analyse the info effectively and improve the effectiveness of data retrieval and evaluation. The programme permits computer systems to ‘perceive’ the that means and context behind geological information, enabling it to establish zones of potential mineralisation from particular mineral deposit modes.
“It’s early phases in each our work and the usage of the method in mineral exploration, however the future potential is big,” Teeling commented.
