Serval Resources (AIM:SRVL) has received results from a geological mapping campaign across two exclusive prospecting licences in Namibia, which highlight the prospectivity to hold potential copper-silver mineralisation at surface.
The results confirm multiple historically defined copper showings in outcrops, as well as newly discovered copper mineralisation at surface in both exclusive prospecting licences (EPLs).
At EPL 7079, a redox boundary geological setting was identified and observed to be closely related to the nearby Okohongo copper-silver deposit.
CEO Robin Birchall describes the land package in the Kaoko Basin as “large”, which offers a positive challenge of target generation that will be addressed with a systematic approach to exploration.
“Geological mapping is an important component of this, as it can be used to refine geological interpretations and identify priority zones for follow-up geophysical and soil sampling programs, before future drilling to expand the known mineralisation,” Birchall says.
“In terms of the findings of this initial program, it has confirmed the prospectivity of these EPLs and it is of course encouraging to see extensive copper mineralisation at surface.”
The company’s Kaoko Basin project comprises four exploration licences covering 788.79km2 in northwestern Namibia. This emerging copper region is the interpreted extension of the Central African Copper Belt that runs through Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Serval Resources is an independent copper developer focused on discoveries in Africa’s most prospective regions.
