John Teeling’s Botswana Diamonds expects its 2015 exploration programme to include a double-digit number of drill holes tested to identify targets, as it looks to increase its focus on the southern African country.

Irish diamond company Botswana Diamonds has today announced the signing of a new joint-venture exploration deal.

Irish mining company, Conroy Gold and Natural Resources is set to raise up to £3.15 million (€3.94m) in additional funding, via a new share placing.
