DESCRIPTION
Taking place the 16 - 17 April in Gabarone International Conference Centre, BotswanaBotswana represents Africa's exciting new coal and energy province, and has generated considerable buzz within the African and international coal , energy and investment industries. Botswana represents 66% of Africa's known coal resources - over 210 billion tonnes (some suggest this will rise to over 320 billion tonnes), making it Africa's second largest coal resource.There are many comparisons with the exciting rapid developments we have seen recently with Mozambique's coal sector (as well as South Africa's Waterberg region)- with numerous exploration companies actively engaging in significant exploration programmes in the country. Botswana is crawling with exploration and development teams from Australia, Canada, South Africa and many others who are planning to develop Botswana's immense coal wealth. China and India have made no secret of their need to import large volumes of thermal coal in the years to come to fuel their growth, and Botswana coal is on the radar as a potential supplier.How long will it be before one of the major mining houses or Asian utilities make a significant investment in the industry? Find out by attending this exciting new event !

Welcome
www.immevents.com/botswanacoal
Dear Executive,
After the highly successful inaugural Botswana Coal & Energy conference in November 2011, IMM Events is pleased to announce the final program for the second conference that will be held on 16th and 17th April 2013 at the Gaborone International Conference Centre.
Botswana is one of the best mining jurisdiction in the world and the country’s fledging coal industry has attracted vast interest in the last 12 months, thanks to the Government decision to establish a national Coal Roadmap strategy, the establishment of a Coal Development Unit to facilitate the monetization of coal, a commodity that could provide Botswana with the support for future growth.
The first commercial export of coal in November 2012 from the Matola coal terminal has created a positive attitude towards Botswana’s export capabilities and there are now four options aimed at putting Botswana coal back on track.
By attending this industry event you will
• Get in on the ground floor of the coal industry’s development
• Gain a thorough understanding of the geology, mineral rights issues and development opportunities from the experts in the field
• Hear direct from the Government representatives and Departments about what it takes to develop projects within the country
• Assess the potential to develop a new CBM and UCG industry, and the paths to take to drive success
• Take away from the meeting the latest information and statistics on development scenarios in the country to assist in your business planning
• Network with all of the major players in the industry under the one roof, and develop vital new business contacts with which you can move forward
With so much interest already registered for this timely event, I invite you to browse through the comprehensive agenda and to join us in Gaborone in April.
Regards,
Diana Lauzi, IMM Conference Director

WIRElINE lOGGING FOR MINERAlS APPlICATIONS
Mineral wireline logging is a process in which an electronic probe or “sonde” is lowered into a borehole in order to make measurements of physical rock mass properties and fluid properties. Measurements employ electro-magnetic fields (directly or induced), radiation (natural and introduced via a chemical source) and sonic energy to evaluate the rock mass without physically breaking it.
The sonde is lowered on a cable or “wireline” which transmits power to the sonde and data from it to the surface recording systems. These data are proportional to analogue voltages produced by various detector types. They must be calibrated and compensated for borehole effects in order to become quantitative measurements. Examples are natural gamma ray, density, sonic transit time and resistivity. Logs might describe or estimate the lithology, the local structure, rock strength, borehole direction and fluid parameters such as temperature and conductivity.
Wireline logs are routinely used in mineral exploration to describe coal seams in terms of depth, thickness and quality. They have applications in all forms of mineral exploration, including base and precious metal projects. The uses of logs in these environments, with the exception of density for iron ore grade estimation, tend to be qualitative in nature. Some significant processing and analysis might be required to extract maximum value from the data.

About Botswana and Gaborone
Botswana is well known for having some of the best wilderness and wildlife areas on the African continent. With a full 38 percent of its total land area devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas – for the most part unfenced, allowing animals to roam wild and free – travel through many parts of the country has the feeling of moving through an immense nature wonderland.
Botswana is a rarity in our overpopulated, over-developed world. Untamed and untameable, it is one of the last great refuges for Nature’s magnificent pageantry of life.
Once proudly referred to as “Africa’s fastest growing city,” Botswana’s capital, Gaborone, has been continually expanding, to the point that now the sprawling urban centre of some 300 000 residents has become nearly unrecognisable from the tiny, dusty administrative town it was at the country’s independence in 1966.
Twenty-first century Gaborone boasts four, large American-style malls, replete with cinema complexes, a host of hotels, guest houses and restaurants, an international airport, a cultural centre, discos and nightclubs, a national museum and art gallery, as well as two golf courses and other sports facilities.
What makes Gaborone so unique, however, is that the visitor can enjoy all the familiar modern conveniences of home, but can gain entry into rural Africa, or wildlife areas, within minutes – having then the best of both possible worlds.
