Classification of the assessed area will be based on its mineral potential and estimation of the proportion of the undiscovered resource that could be economically recoverable.<\/p>\n<p>Access to good integrated, quality data goes a long way when determining the success of operations in a region. BGI has entered into this partnership in support of the mandate to provide specialized geoscientific services and promote the search for minerals in Botswana.
