Avrupa Minerals Completes Phase 1 Drilling at Alvalade Joint Venture

Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:AVU) and joint venture partner Antofagasta Minerals SA have completed a Phase 1 exploratory core drilling program in three separate target areas within the Alvalade block of licenses, consisting of eight holes, totaling 3,269.8 meters.

As quoted in the press release:

Avrupa geologists have now re-logged and selectively sampled over 50,000 meters of historic drill core from 194 drill holes completed by previous explorers within the JV area. New knowledge and understanding gained from this work, and from the just-completed initial drill program, will be used to plan for Phase 2 drilling, which is scheduled to start later in August. We expect to follow-up anomalies and observed sulfide mineralization in the first three target areas, as well as to test blind targets around the project license block.
