Results from Ground Geophysics Programme on P...
Serval Resources Plc has announced positive results from its ground geophysics programme on Licence PL061 in Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt, identifying interpreted target horizon contacts for the D'Kar and Ngwako Pan Formations in the southern surveyed area, which will guide future exploration efforts. The 121 line-kilometre survey successfully mapped Karoo volcanics and structural trends, with interpretation indicating a fault or shear zone separating northern volcanic units from less deformed sedimentary formations in the south, interpreted as the target D'Kar and Ngwako Pan Formations. While the magnetic survey did not clearly delineate the target horizon due to gradational magnetic characteristics, the more accurate location of the Karoo volcanics contact and the interpreted gradational contact of the target horizon will assist in planning future surveys, potentially using electromagnetic or electrical resistivity methods.

Existing regional data from the Botswana Geoscience Institute has indicated that exploration for this area would be further complicated by the presence of Karoo volcanic sequences, in addition to the known sand cover that overlies much of the KCB bedrock at varying depths.\n \n \n \n \n \n The survey consisted of 121 line-kilometres over 84 lines and the aim of this work was to\n \n \n \n detect and better spatially define the presence of regionally mapped Ngwako Pan and D'Kar Formation contact, being the target horizon for copper-silver mineralisation in the KCB, map the Karoo volcanics, and interpret and map structural trends that potentially control mineralisation.\n \n \n \n \n \n The survey was focused on the southwestern corner of the licence, in an area where interpretation of the regional magnetic data suggested that no Karoo volcanic cover sequences are expected, as demonstrated in Figure 1. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n CEO, Robin Birchall, commented\n \n :\n \n \n \n \n \"I am delighted to report that we have completed another field programme in Botswana, in short turnaround time and in alignment with our commitment to keep o...
