Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be applied to our Botswana database said, Botswana Diamonds plc. Botswana Diamonds announces that it is going to apply Artificial Intelligence techniques to our Botswana database. The company has the second largest diamond exploration database in Botswana.
This is an excellent foundation to incorporate AI to assist in a comprehensive search for new diamond deposits and potentially other minerals. Botswana Diamonds said, our database consists of, 1: c.95,000 sq km of data. 2: c.375,000 km airborne geophysical data. 3: 606 ground geophysical surveys. 4: c.228,000 soil sample results. 5: c.32,000 drill hole logs & 6: In total 380 gigabyte of data and 260,000 files.
Chairman, John Teeling, commented: “Our mineral database in Botswana is simply vast. Too big for timely analysis by humans. Think of it, over 375,000 kms of geophysical data, and 32,000 drill holes logs.
Massive databases are suited to analysis by computer-based large Data Models and Artificial Intelligence techniques which can analyse substantial amounts of data in a short time. We feed in the data and create the models from our existing knowledge both theoretical and factual. The techniques then produce results. Where it finds inconsistencies or gaps it adapts. It is early stages in both our work and the use of the technique in mineral exploration, but the future potential is huge.
An added exciting bonus for BOD and for Botswana is that the technique will analyse a number of different minerals. We have always believed that there are more diamond deposits to be found under the sand. Now there is the possibility of other deposits being identified”.
