The Molopo Farms Project (GS 17 UK) was a technical cooperation project between the governments of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Botswana. The project srea, totalling approximately 17 000km squared, extends from 23 degrees E logitude and from 24 degrees S latitude to the Molopo River. The principal aim of the project was to delineate a major layered ultrabasic/basic igneous complex, and to identify areas of potential economic mineralisation, particularly platinum group metals, copper/nickel sulphides , and chromite.
