Turkey top envoy goes to Niger in bid to secure uranium supplies
The trip comes after Niger’s military government withdrew mining rights from Canadian and French companies to develop uranium deposits.
Botswana Diamonds (LON:BOD) executive chairman, John Teeling (pictured), told shareholders on Thursday the company had applied for 12 new exploration licences and was taking other big steps to becoming a major player in the diamond industry.
“These were exciting times for the company,” said Teeling, adding that Botswana was currently finalizing the legal details of a formal joint venture with the undisclosed owner – a major international diamond producer – of a new technology the company has recently applied.
The diamond exploration company will undertake detailed ground prospecting once the exploration licences are obtained.
