Avrupa Provides Kosovo Exploration Update
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/28/12 -- Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: AVU) -
Avrupa Minerals Ltd. is pleased to announce that the mining bureau of Kosovo (ICMM) has awarded the Slivovo exploration license to the Company. The license covers an attractive massive sulfide target that Avrupa geologists discovered last year. The 15 km2 license is located in the Trepca Mineral Belt of the Vardar Zone, a long-term producing district of silver and base metals.
Paul Kuhn, President & CEO, commented, "The acquisition of the Slivovo license resulted from our regional prospecting program in Europe. The exploration program in Kosovo is part of Avrupa's plan to acquire prospective targets at low cost, complete early stage exploration work to validate the geological targets, and then option the projects to qualified partners for further work and potential discoveries."
Avrupa's geological team also completed first-pass sampling, prospecting, and reconnaissance-style geological mapping on the Koritnik license in southern Kosovo. Initial sample results indicate the possibility for precious metal mineralization related to parallel NE-trending structures cutting intrusive rocks of the Sharr-Dragash complex. Further sample results are expected in the next few weeks.
Avrupa continues to entertain joint venture possibilities for the Kosovo exploration program. At least four base metal targets are drill-ready on three separate licenses, while the three other licenses cover attractive early-stage base and precious metal possibilities.
The Company recently updated the Kosovo pages on its website. For further information, please visit the Kosovo Projects front page at the following link: .
