Avrupa Minerals Ltd.: Marateca Portugal Drilling Update-Encouraging Initial Results at Serrinha

Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (CVE:AVU) reports an update for the ongoing Marateca drill project in the Pyrite Belt of southern Portugal.

The press release is quoted as saying;

To date, three holes have been completed, and despite difficult drilling conditions in fault zones and silicified rock units, the program is continuing. Avrupa commenced drilling in the Serrinha District on the Marateca license in late 2010 with a 3-hole, 1300-meter campaign to upgrade the understanding of two classic massive sulfide targets (São Martinho and Monte de Volta) and one stockwork sulfide target (Serrinha).

Avrupa Minerals’ President and CEO,  Paul Kuhn says:

“Both the geological and geochemical results from the Serrinha hole surpassed expectations for a first-pass attempt at understanding the potential targets in the Serrinha District at Marateca. The drilling at Serrinha is a real step-out in the northern Pyrite Belt, as the nearest previously known mineralization is located some 30 kilometers to the south of Serrinha at Lagoa Salgada. In addition to the Serrinha District drill targets, there are at least six other target areas around the license that have not yet been advanced to the level of the Serrinha District.”
