Abstract
A regional gravity survey was carried out in northern Botswana by Poseidon Geophysics<br>(Pty) Limited on behalf of the Geological Survey Department, Ministry of Minerals,<br>Energy and Water Affairs, Republic of Botswana. The main objective of the survey was to<br>provide regional gravity coverage to improve the geological understanding of northern<br>Botswana, as an incentive to private sector mineral exploration. A total of 4003 stations<br>at a station spacing of 7.5km were established during the period October 8, 1998, to May<br>24, 1999. The results from the survey are currently being used by various exploration<br>concerns to guide their exploration programs.
