Bots Diamonds Inc., a pioneer in exploration, has rolled out plans to incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) with their extensive database in Botswana – a step forward in the global race for using AI in mineral exploration. The enterprise involves AI to look for diamonds and eventually might find other useful minerals by conducting a thorough search in the targeted ground.
Sophisticated AI integration
With the second largest database of diamond exploration data in Botswana covering an area of about 95,000 square kilometers, our company Benevolence Botswana Diamond does boast. This database is enormous, and it covers airborne geophysics data for 375,000 km, 607 ground geophysical surveys, drill hole logs for 228,000 soil samples, and up to 32,000 drill hole logs. The whole compound includes 380 gigabytes of data and 260,000
This venture has put the company in collaboration with the Planet AI startup and the release of the Xplore mineral prospectivity technology by the International Geoscience Service, which was brought into production. This futuristic technology not only has semantic and machine learning abilities but also can read and process data to infer and explain the underlying phenomenon in the Earth system in the same way as humans.
Enhanced exploration efforts
With the help of AI algorithms, the system could analyze huge databases quickly so that it would be able to discover any inconsistencies, and thus teach it how to fix them. This technology is designed to meet today’s evolving needs of mineral exploration by amplifying the content, integrating, and analyzing into a reliable model that may be used to pick prospective mineralization for the specific newly formed data set.
John Teeling, Chairman of Botswana Diamonds, placed heavy emphasis on incorporating AI into their functions, especially as their database is incredibly massive and unimaginable to human processing methodologies. He emphasized the infeasibility of the understanding and the studying of such rather large datasets by humans contrary to automation which is meant to tend to this issue by quickly going through large amounts of data.
Tom Teeling talked about his positive views on AI use in gem mining in the future. He stressed that his team is still at the beginning and they are not even sure how AI is going to be used in space exploration, but the amount of possibilities makes it an exciting scientific endeavor. Additionally, he reasoned that the technique could be utilized to recognize not only kilo-worth diamonds but other valuable minerals as well which have not been discovered yet in the country and may lead to an innovation breakthrough.
Implications for Botswana
The fact that Artificial intelligence technology has come to stay in mineral exploration has shown a potential for development in Botswana’s mineral sector. We provide exploration of minerals, use of AI to analyze varied mineral databases, enable us to boost our efforts on exploration; at the same time, contribute to the discovery of new deposits of minerals that will increase the economic growth in the region.
The integration of AI technology by Botswana Diamonds into its exploration projects confirms that this sector of mineral exploitation has made a stride forward. Through utilizing AI technology the company establishes a chance to unveil rep English new aspects of knowledge generation and possibly find new mineral resources in Botswana. By the AI algorithms backing it, Botswana Diamonds is assured of riding into the era of modern exploration, an age of prospecting with breakthrough details bound to be discovered in one of the most precious stone-rich countries in Africa.
