This bulletion presents, for the first time, a collective statement of chemical analyses of Botswana's rocks, ores and minerals. The compilers have endeavored to incorporate all the known published analyses and all available unpublished analyses, with the exception of coal analyses to be found in Van Straaten(1959) and Green (1957,1961 and 1973), for the period since the inception of the Geological Survey in 1948 to December 1973.ย
