VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 16, 2014) - Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:AVU)(FRANKFURT:8AM) is pleased to announce that it has signed the earn-in and shareholders agreement ("Earn-In Agreement") to option out the Slivovo Gold Project in Kosovo to Byrnecut International Limited ("BIL"). Under the Earn-In Agreement, Avrupa will be the operator, and BIL will have the following participation options:
Paul W. Kuhn, CEO of Avrupa Minerals, commented that "the signing of the Slivovo JV Agreement is an important milestone for Avrupa. This is the Company's first JV outside of Portugal and will solidify potential interest in Kosovo, where we hold several other prospective licenses. We are excited to be working with Byrnecut in advancing Slivovo to the next stage, and we look forward to working with the Byrnecut team. The Slivovo Project covers at least two exciting, outcropping gold and base metal targets. We anticipate an immediate start-up of field work to rapidly move the program forward over the summer."
The Slivovo Gold Project
The Slivovo license, located approximately 15 km southeast of Prishtine, the capital city of Kosovo, and covering 15.2 km2, was issued to the Company on June 27, 2012. Early rock chip sampling of the Pester gossan zone (22 samples) returned strongly anomalous lead (average 1,825 ppm), zinc (average 3,647 ppm), silver (average 11.47 ppm), and gold (average 2.09 ppm) results. Subsequent, wide-scale geological mapping of the area indicated potential for gold-bearing, massive sulfide mineralization of the style common in the Vardar Zone, which extends through east-central Europe.
However, following the discovery of the Pester gossan zone, the Company then discovered several gold-bearing rock units in the Pester area. First-pass soil and rock chip sampling outlined two separate areas with anomalous gold results. One area surrounds the Pester gossan zone, measures approximately 500 x 150 meters in size, and is potentially open along strike. The other, more important anomalous gold-bearing zone, located approximately 1000 meters from the Pester gossan, is related to beds of a strongly altered, calcareous sandstone unit, intruded by a mineralized felsic dike(s). At present, the length of this exposed mineralized zone is 900 meters, while known surface expression is 100-150 meters wide. The anomalous zone is open along strike in both directions, and appears to have potential for downdip mineralization. Trenching across the target zone shows geological potential for expansion of the mineralization. Trench sampling will be completed in the coming months.
Work in the first six months of the Slivovo program will be designed towards drill targeting, with an anticipated 2000-meter drill program slated to commence early in the 4th quarter of 2014. The Company will continue geological mapping, sampling, trenching, and possibly follow-up ground geophysics to assist in defining high quality drill targets.
