Avrupa Minerals Continues to Progress Licensing for the Alvalade VMS Project,
Portugal
Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (AVU:TSXV) wishes to provide the following update concerning
the licensing of the Alvalade Project in the Portuguese Pyrite Belt. The Company is
pleased to state that despite the current worldwide Coronavirus pandemic, progress
towards completion of licensing of the Project is underway, as all three parties involved
in the effort, Avru pa, our partner, and the Portuguese Mining Bureau, continue to work
on the finalization of the Experiment al Exploitation License (EEL) contract. While
Portugal is under a mitigational lockdown, meaning that non- essential outside work and
travel are prohibited, the licensing process continues remotely from home offices of all
parties.
Last week, on the Spotlight Mining venue, the Company presented a short history of
mining in the Iberian Pyrite Belt , along with an update on progress at Alvalade. Th e
YouTube re-broadcast of the presentation may be accessed under the banner “The
Newest Oldest Mining Districts” in the e- conference section at

locality with the assistance of several partners and a program of self -funded drilling.
Present estimated size of the main Sesmarias copper-zinc bearing, massive sulfide lens
is 600 meters long x 300 meters wi de x 25 meters thick. Strike length of the Sesmarias
target is estimated to continue a further 2,000 meters to the north, and the Company
contemplates more drilling along strike once the Alvalade EEL is issued and health
conditions permit re-opening of the business.
Avrupa Minerals Ltd. is a growth -oriented junior exploration and development
company directed to discovery of mineral deposits, using a prospect generator model .
