(TSXV:AVU)\n \n \n (OTC:AVPMF) (FSE:8AM)\n \n \n is pleased to provide the following update for the\nongoing project work at the Alvalade JV in the Pyrite Belt of south\nPortugal.  The program is a joint venture between Avrupa Minerals and\nMinas de Aguas Teñidas, S.A. (MATSA) and is operated by Avrupa\nthrough the JV entity PorMining Lda.  To date, the Company has\ncompleted 10 diamond drill holes totaling 5,271.7 meters.  New\nresults from four of the holes, SES21-037 through SES21-040 are\npending, and are expected over the next few weeks.\n \n \n \n \n Paul W.
