2017 SEAT Report Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines
SEAT 3 REPORT Debswana - Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mine (OLDM) November 2017 1 2 FOREWORD rounded assessment of the socio-economic impacts of our operation – positive and negative - in our zone of influence. This is the second impact assessment of this nature being conducted, the first one having been carried out in 2014. The information in this socio-economic assessment report helped to improve our understanding of the local dynamics associated with the impact our operation’s that are real and perceived. It also provided us with invaluable insight into our stakeholders’ perspectives, expectations, concerns and suggestions. This report is a valuable tool to guide our thinking on community development and our management of the social impacts of OLDM’s future closure at the end of the life of mine. Furthermore, it provides a useful mechanism in mobilising local stakeholders to work with us towards successful mine closure. The report has also given valuable feedback on issues around mine expansion initiatives and access to resources like land and groundwater. More importantly, meaningful feedback has been provided around two critical areas: resettlement and options around town transformation. We recognise the complexity of a proper plan for future mine closure at the end of the life of mine. In the past, our plans for future mine closure mainly focused on environmental aspects, with community involvement often limited to cursory consultation processes. Today, in line with current trends, my team and I are convinced that community ownership of the post closure goals is the only sustainable means to propel communities to prosper when OLDM is no longer involved. -

The Magnitude of Termites to the Future of Kimberlite Exploration in Botswana
11th International Kimberlite Conference Extended Abstract No. 11IKC-4555, 2017 The magnitude of termites to the future of kimberlite exploration in Botswana Leon R.M. Daniels, Tshireletso A. Dira and Onesimo Kufandikamwe Pangolin Diamonds (Pty) Limited, Tatitown, Botswana [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Introduction The majority of the diamond mines in Botswana (Orapa, Jwaneng, Letlhakane, Damsthaa, Lerala and BK11) were discovered as a direct consequence of soil sampling for indicator minerals such as garnet and picroilmenite. Over the past sixty years the application of soil sampling for indicator minerals as a primary exploration tool has diminished while aeromagnetic surveys have increased in popularity. The rate of kimberlite discovery in Botswana over the past fifteen years has declined significantly. The obvious magnetic kimberlites have been discovered. The future of new kimberlite discoveries, mainly poorly magnetic to non-magnetic, is once again dependent on soil sampling for kimberlite indicator minerals. The only mechanism to transport indicators from source to surface through the Kalahari Formation overburden is through termite bioturbation. Soil Sampling History in Botswana Initial soil sampling programmes conducted by De Beers and Central African Selection Trust (CAST) in Botswana (then Bechuanaland) during the mid to late 1950’s were confined to stream sediments in areas where drainage was developed. Concentrates were generated using gold pans. This method was quite ineffective and possibly resulted in Jwaneng being missed in a soil sampling programme conducted in 1962 (Lamont, 2011). A “semi-continuous scoop” sampling method was developed to sample interfluves areas and eventually into the Kalahari sandveld. The gold pan was abandoned as a concentrating tool and a gravitating screen, commonly used by diamond diggers, was introduced to concentrate soil samples between 2mm and 0.5mm in size. -

2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief
2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief For further details contact Census Office, Private Bag 0024 Gaborone: Tel 3188500; Fax 3188610 1. Botswana Population at 2 Million Botswana’s population has reached the 2 million mark. Preliminary results show that there were 2 038 228 persons enumerated in Botswana during the 2011 Population and Housing Census, compared with 1 680 863 enumerated in 2001. Suffice to note that this is the de-facto population – persons enumerated where they were found during enumeration. 2. General Comments on the Results 2.1 Population Growth The annual population growth rate 1 between 2001 and 2011 is 1.9 percent. This gives further evidence to the effect that Botswana’s population continues to increase at diminishing growth rates. Suffice to note that inter-census annual population growth rates for decennial censuses held from 1971 to 2001 were 4.6, 3.5 and 2.4 percent respectively. A close analysis of the results shows that it has taken 28 years for Botswana’s population to increase by one million. At the current rate and furthermore, with the current conditions 2 prevailing, it would take 23 years for the population to increase by another million - to reach 3 million. Marked differences are visible in district population annual growths, with estimated zero 3 growth for Selebi-Phikwe and Lobatse and a rate of over 4 percent per annum for South East District. Most district growth rates hover around 2 percent per annum. High growth rates in Kweneng and South East Districts have been observed, due largely to very high growth rates of villages within the proximity of Gaborone. -
