Gold Investing

Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:AVU,FWB:8AM) provided updates on its exploration progress in the North Portugal tungsten-gold belt where it is exploring five licenses including the Covas tungsten license, which is being explored through a joint venture with Blackheath Minerals.

As quoted in the press release:

First-pass work has just been completed on the Sabroso license, and initial exploration work will commence at Candedo within the next few weeks. Further reconnaissance work at Arcas is planned subsequent to the completion of the Candedo exploration.
Results from first pass sampling of sheeted and stockwork quartz veining in two separate target areas within the Sabroso license area have returned with anomalous gold results. Fifty samples were collected, and 25 returned geochemical values of over 1 ppm gold, including eight samples with assay values greater than 10 g/t gold.
… Future work on the license, acquired at the end of 2012, will be focused on delineating targets where the density of gold-bearing veins is significantly higher than normal.
