Aim- and BSE-listed exploration company Botswana Diamonds has started with the planned intensification drilling on its Thorny River prospect in South Africa, with the first four holes having intersected diamonds at predicted thicknesses and depths.  The programme, which comprises the drilling of 40 reverse circulation angle percussion boreholes to a depth of 30 m is expected to be completed within the next four weeks.
