Avrupa Minerals Ltd. provide a corporate update and corresponding goals for the coming year. The Company enters 2020 with the pending startup of work on the Alvalade Joint Venture Project, along with partner, Spanish miner Minas de Aguas Teñidas, SA. Startup will occur upon issuance of a new Alvalade Experimental Exploitation License (EEL) in accordance with the present mining law of Portugal. The Mining Bureau has verified that Avrupa’s subsidiary in Portugal has fulfilled all obligations for the EEL application and over the next 30 working days will complete the collection of final social and technical due diligence data for the Alvalade license area. During 2020, the Company also plans to continue copper-zinc massive sulfide exploration in south Portugal, mostly in the Pyrite Belt around the Marateca and Mertola areas and in the adjoining Ossa Morena Zone which includes the Alvito iron-oxide copper-gold area. Avrupa plans to re-start work in Kosovo at its wholly-owned Metovit base metals exploration permit, and has an application in to the Government of Kosovo for an attractive gold-silver-base metals area that has been unavailable for exploration for over 10 years. The area has been designated as an ‘Area of National Interest’ due to obvious surface mineralization and the presence of old workings.
