Field Trip 1 Desert Gems – Botswana's Major Mines Field Trip 1 Desert Gems – Botswana’s Major Mines Pre- and Post-Conference Organiser: Martin Roberts, Todd McKinlay, Debswana Leaders: Debswana and Lucara Diamond Corporation geologists It is envisaged that, depending on delegate interest, for both the Field Trip 1 Pre- Conference and Field Trip 1 Post-Conference, there will be two buses travelling in opposite directions and starting at different mines: • BUS A - Orapa Mine first. • BUS B - Jwaneng Mine first. Combined, the two buses can accommodate a total of 80 delegates on each of the Pre- and Post-Conference field trips (a total of 160 participants). VERY IMPORTANT • Delegates must provide their own PPE as outlined on the field trip overview page of www.11IKC.com • All travel bookings and formalities to and from Gaborone in Botswana are for your own arrangement and account • One to two twenty litre buckets will be provided per delegate for sample collection and shipping. • Where sampling is allowed on field trips, there will be an opportunity to pack and courier samples at the end of the trip. The Organising Committee is intending to obtain sample export permits for each delegate to export from Botswana the samples collected. These export permits will not cover any samples collected other than on that particular field trip. Participants should not include samples from any other source. In particular, participants should not transport samples between countries. WARNING: There is alcohol testing on all mines to be visited. If you fail the breathalyzer test you will be left outside the mine.

The Mine was discovered in 1967 by a team of De Beers geologists led by Manfred Marx. It became fully operational in July 1971 when it was officially opened by the then President of Botswana, His Excellency Sir Seretse Khama. The Orapa A/K1 pipe consists of two volcanic conduits that coalesced near the surface totalling 118 Ha before mining commenced. Each of these pipes represents a discrete batch of kimberlite magma that has resulted in a variation in the nature of the diamonds found within each pipe. The deposit was dated at 93.1 Ma using mantle zircon grains (Davis, 1977). The older North Pipe contains crudely layered pyroclastic kimberlite, not unlike those of the diatreme-facies “TKB” described by Clement (1982), with avalanched basalt breccia lenses around the periphery. Three major units have been modelled. The South Pipe has a far more complex geology. Three phases of intrusions have been modelled, each separated by a sequence of basalt-rich breccias. Massive, steeply dipping basalt breccias are present around the periphery of the western and eastern margins of the pipe. The upper portion of the pipe contains a sequence of epiclastic kimberlite composed of shales, grits, sandstones and debris flows that were formed in a crater-lake. These deposits contained a variety of Cretaceous fossil plants and insects (Rayner et al. 1991). Orapa town serves as the administrative centre for Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines. Orapa is still ISO 14001 accredited, which is the equivalent of an impeccable environmental management programme. Orapa is a closed town with a population of over 12 000 people.

LETLHAKANE MINE - DEBSWANA DIAMOND COMPANY Little reed (in Setswana) Letlhakane Mine is situated 50 km from Debswana's Orapa operation and 190 km West of Francistown, in Central Botswana. The mine, which was first discovered during the sampling and evaluation process at Orapa, became Debswana's second mine when it opened in 1975. 547 447 carats of diamonds were recovered

  • 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.

It is one of the main volumes in the 2011 Population and Housing Census series of publications. The report contains the projected counts of the future population. Unlike in the previous projections, which projected for a 30 year period, the current report projects the population for the next 15 years using the 2011 census data as the base population. These population projections are presented at national, district. A report on locality population projections will be published separately. The main purpose of producing population projections is to provide an estimate of the future population as a common framework for use in planning, policy formulation and decision making in various sectors of the economy. This would assist the planning process in presenting a future outlook of the population. This includes among others; informing the allocation of the resources from the central government to local areas and plan ahead for the provision of servies.
