en.Wedoany.com Reported - Serval Resources has completed preliminary geological mapping activities on its first two exclusive prospecting licenses (EPLs) in the Kaoko Basin, Namibia, confirming copper mineralization at multiple historically defined outcrop copper occurrences on EPL 7081 and EPL 7079, as well as newly discovered surface copper mineralization, validating the exploration potential of these license areas.

The company, listed on AIM, is dedicated to building an independent copper and future metals development enterprise. This mapping activity identified a redox boundary geological setting on EPL 7079, which is closely related to the nearby Okohongo copper-silver deposit. Meanwhile, the company successfully renewed and obtained Environmental Clearance Certificates (ECC) for EPL 7079 and EPL 7082, a key regulatory requirement in Namibia, allowing Serval to continue exploration activities within these license areas for the next three years.

CEO Robin Birchall stated that the first field work in Namibia is exciting. The company holds a large land package in the region, and prioritizing targets is a positive challenge that will be addressed through a systematic exploration approach. Geological mapping is a key component of this process, used to refine geological interpretations and identify priority areas for subsequent geophysical and soil sampling programs, preparing for future drilling to expand known mineralization. The findings from the initial program confirm the exploration potential of these licenses, and the widespread surface copper mineralization is encouraging. The team's successful renewal of the ECC demonstrates the company's commitment to sustainable and responsible exploration practices.

EPL 7081 is Serval's highest-priority license in the Kaoko Basin, containing several key targets including Omatapati, Otjozongombe, and Horseshoe. Historical drilling has identified higher-grade copper-silver mineralization in these targets. The company believes the contact zone between the Lower Omao Formation and the Upper Omao Formation is the most prospective mineralization site.

The team completed approximately 20 square kilometers of geological mapping on EPL 7081. The mapping confirmed visual identification of copper mineralization at the Horseshoe occurrence associated with the Nosib/Otavi contact zone, with mineralization occurring within the Omivero shale, extending along the contact with the Lower Omao unit and into the Lower Omao. Visible mineralization was also confirmed at the Lower Omao and Upper Omao contact zone at Omatapati, with surface exposure extending southeast of Omatapati.

This mapping more precisely delineated the contact zone between the Lower Omao and Upper Omao, identifying visible copper mineralization at Omatapati, which facilitates more focused subsequent work, including detailed geological mapping, geophysical surveys, and soil sampling, and provides an opportunity to expand the Omatapati occurrence to the southeast.
