Botswana Diamonds is confident that the diamond market will recover as the influence of lab-grown diamonds in the jewellery sector declines. The company is positioned to commence M3 mining quickly as existing infrastructure will allow easy access to the kimberlitic body without the need for additional investments.

It's only me again, Exploration of five kimberlites at the Marsfontein mineThe new permit covers an area of 900.67 hectares and includes the M2, M3, M7, M8 and M9 kimberlites. Of these, M3 is the company's primary target, due to its easy access, high production potential and zero exploration. Historical samples from M3 indicate diamond content with outstanding qualities and size distributions that could offer significant profitability.Botswana Diamonds Chairman John Teeling has highlighted that obtaining this permit is great news for the company, especially given the potential represented by the M3 body. This deposit has been described as easy to mine due to its location on high ground and its exposure to previous mining activities which will reduce drilling and blasting costs.Previous studies of M3 have shown promising results, with concentrations ranging from 13.9 to 137 carats per 100 tonnes ( cpht ). In addition, diamonds from this deposit are characterized by good color and quality , making them attractive to the market when diamond demand increases again after the current downturn in the industry.

John Teelings early comments back in 2022 on Thorny River, January 12, 2022BOTSWANA Diamonds said an early assessment of its South African kimberlite prospect Thorny River resembled Marsfontein – one of the richest diamond mines in the world.John Teeling, chairman of Botswana Diamonds and a well known mineral exploration entrepreneur said the results from Thorny River were "better than expected". The prospect – adjacent to Marsfontein, is located in the Limpopo province."Let me put this in context. The two million tonnes is almost twice the size of the nearby Marsfontein deposit," he said in a statement issued by Botswana Diamonds. "We have identified other small potential blows which could further increase the kimberlite volume. This enhances the potential in developing a 'hub and spoke' mining project".
