Serval Resources begins 2026 exploration programme in the Kalahari Copper Belt
Copper and future metals developer Serval Resources has announced that it has, with approval from Kalahari Copper Limited (KCL), begun its first exploration work programme for this year on KCL’s Botswana assets, in the Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB), which the company says is considered one of the most prospective areas in the world for new sedimentary copper discoveries.
The company explains that PL061 is held by Dalsu Investment, a wholly owned subsidiary of KCL.
As announced on February 9, Serval notes that it has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement to acquire all the shares in KCL.
This programme will incorporate a ground magnetic geophysical survey on Licence PL061 to evaluate the regionally mapped Ngwako Pan (oxidised sandstone) and D’Kar Formation (reduced shale) contact, being the primary reduction-oxidation-controlled target for significant sediment-hosted copper/silver mineralisation in the KCB.
The company says this ties in with the fourth quarter of 2025 geophysical programme conducted on PL082 with approval from KCL, with both PL061 and PL082 being located along strike of Australia-listed Cobre’s Ngami project.
Serval says the results of the PL082 geophysical programme will be released as soon as available, noting that PL082 is also held by Dalsu.
"I am delighted to report that our first work programme with KCL in the KCB is under way, and I commend the field team's swift mobilisation and their continued engagement with authorities and the local representative of the areas in which we operate.
“PL061 and PL082 are both high-priority targets given their location on strike to Cobre’s Ngami project, which is a significant and growing deposit that has been delineated using a combination of geophysical techniques and fieldwork, followed by extensive drilling, which is a model we aim to follow at the KCL licences,” says CEO Robin Birchall.
