Exploration in Botswana is done by Botswana Geo-Sciences Institute (BGI) and Private Organisations. Botswana Geoscience Institute (BGI), was established to undertake research in the field of geosciences and provide specialised geoscientific services, be a custodian of geoscience information, promote the search for and exploration of any mineral in Botswana, and act as an advisory body in respect of geosciences and geohazards. 

Government has recently formed an exploration company - "Exploration Investment Company Botswana" (EICB) to drive mineral exploration and resource mobilisation in Botswana. It aims to facilitate funding access for private explorers, promote citizen participation, and enhance Botswana's mining investment appeal.
