Avrupa confirms high grade copper assays of Sesmarias “2” Lens on the
Alvalade Project, Portugal
Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (AVU:TSXV) is pleased to provide assay results for drill hole
SES003 which was drilled on the Alvalade Project in 2014, but not analyzed until now
due to its general proximity and similar visible characteristics to drill hole SES002. The
SES003 assays were completed now in order to be added into Avrupa’s 3D model of
the “2” Lens. Hole SES002 is the Sesmarias “2” Lens discovery hole , and its assay
results are also shown below . SES003 added approximately 18 meters of dip length to
the “2” Lens, as calculated in 2014. Results from SES003 are comparable to those
from SES002, as shown in the tables below.

To date, Avrupa has drilled s even closely-spaced, shallow core holes in the area of
SES002 and SES003 to determine possible extent of the “2” Lens . Avrupa also
conducted several types of downhole and surface geophysical surveys. Intercepts of
broken massive sulfide mineralization in SES00 5, SES006, and SES007, along with
results from the geophy sical work, and review of the actual core material in all of the
holes suggested that mineralization comprising the “2” Lens occurred in a fault zone
(now understood as the eastern boundary fault described in recent news releases of
February 11 , 2019 and M arch 11, 2019). The interpretation s from the 2014 drilling
program suggested that the possible extents of the “2” Lens were on the order of 100-
125 meters dip x 50 -75 meters strike, and 5 -10 meters thickness, as demonstrated in
the following cross section and map view of the mineralization.

Work completed during the recent 2018 drilling program, including re -logging of the
historic holes, sampling of SES003, drilling of SES030 which encountered the fault zone
where sulfide mineralization was anticipated, and a full , computer-driven re-model of all
data by project geologist J. Coder suggested similar, slightly enlarged parameters for
the “2” Lens.
Paul W. Kuhn, President and CEO of Avrupa Minerals, stated, “Results of all work
around the “2” Lens suggest presence of a small, high grade , copper-bearing body of
massive sulfide mineralization. Strong indications of further mineralization contained
within the bounding fault zone need to be followed -up by drilling along both strike and
depth of the fault zone. At this time, we have not iden tified the source of this massive
sulfide mineralization, but it is possible that further blocks of mineralization will be
located within the fault.”
