Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:AVU,FWB:8AM) has commended Phase 2 drilling on the Alvalade JV project.
As quoted in the press release:
The partners plan to drill 3,500 to 3,800 meters in eight drill holes. Seven of the holes will test new targets along four separate trends of potentially mineralized host rocks. The eighth hole will further test the Monte da Bela Vista target area, which was initially drilled during Phase 1, earlier this year.
Avrupa Minerals President and CEO Paul W. Kuhn said:
We are excited about the start-up of Phase 2 drilling and the testing of the new targets, particularly those situated along the Neves Corvo Trend. The results from Phase 1 drilling have encouraged the Joint Venture to continue aggressive exploration throughout the entire Alvalade Project area to test new target ideas and mineralization models, both in areas of exposed target rocks and in areas of potential target rocks that lie beneath cover material. The Project area is more than 75% covered by sands and unconsolidated material that masks potential mineralization and increases the difficulty of exploration.
