It has mobilised its fully funded exploration programme at the Duékoué copper-gold-molybdenum project in Côte d'Ivoire, following completion of local stakeholder engagement.

It has finished geophysical surveys at its Somelo prospect and is nearing completion at Sweet Thorn Pan, with data processing due in October ahead of future drill targeting.

The explorer has confirmed fresh copper mineralisation alongside known occurrences at its EPL 7081 licence in Namibia, keeping a maiden drilling programme on track for the fourth quarter.

The AIM-listed copper explorer has detailed fully funded work programmes across Namibia, Botswana and Côte d'Ivoire, with first drilling in the Kaoko Basin scheduled for the fourth quarter.

Initial geological mapping verified multiple copper showings and newly discovered surface mineralisation; meanwhile, Serval secured three‑year environmental clearances for two licences.

Ground geophysics on PL061 in Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt has interpreted the D'Kar and Ngwako Pan Formation contacts in the licence's southern area, narrowing where the company will focus follow-up work.
