Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (CVE:AVU) reports that drilling has started at the Grbes target on the Kamenica license in eastern Kosovo.
The press release is quoted as saying:
Kamenica Drilling Program
Avrupa plans to drill up to 250 meters at Grbes and up to 150 meters at the nearby Metovic target on the Kamenica License. Both drill holes target carbonate-hosted, Vardar Trend shear-related, vein-like zones of potential mineralization, similar to the mineralization found in the Artana Mine (Novo Brdo), located less than five kilometers to the southeast along trend.
Glavej Drilling Program
Avrupa will next move the drill rig to the Pogledalo-Hazelnut Hill target on the Glavej license in north-central Kosovo. The target at Hazelnut Hill is a minimum 150-meter by 300-meter size zone of alteration, gossans, and cross-cutting breccias hosted in volcanic rocks near the southern margin of an Oligocene caldera system. The Company plans to drill 1-2 holes, totaling up to 500 meters, which target potential base and precious metal-bearing sulfide mineralization related to the cross-cutting breccia pipes.
Avrupa’s CEO, Paul Kuhn says:
“Avrupa has a strong overall position in Kosovo, and is actively looking in Europe and North America for a suitable partner for strategic growth in the country. We have five licenses including the two with drill targets, and we have completed most of the first-pass generative exploration on the other three licenses, all of which contain surface exposures of base metal mineralization. In addition, we have identified several areas with potential for precious metal mineralization. Avrupa is poised to attract JV partners in a regional-style exploration program, anchored by advanced greenfields exploration projects at Glavej and Kamenica.”
