(MATSA) and is operated by Avrupa\nthrough the JV entity PorMining Lda.  In 2013-14, Avrupa discovered\ncopper-zinc mineralization in the Monte da Bela Vista (MBV) area and\ndrilled seven scout diamond drill holes there.\n \n \n \n \n Paul W. Kuhn, President and CEO of Avrupa Minerals,\ncommented, “Review of the surface geology at Monte da Bela Vista\nquickly got the Company involved in the area.  We completed mapping,\nsampling, and scout drilling there, back in 2013-14.  While not\nintersecting ore-grade mineralization, at the time, we knew there was\nstill plenty of room to find a deposit between our seven wide-spaced\ndrill holes.  Flash forward to 2021, and we have gone back with a\nfresh look, based on all of our new drilling at Sesmarias,\nre-interpretation of the exploration model, and coverage from the VTEM\ngeophysical survey.  Results of this work lead to a whole new\nprospective area to drill, just a few hundred meters from most of the\nprevious drilling.”\n \n \n \n \n Monte da Bela Vista (MBV)\n \n \n \n \n Following drilling in 2013-14 at MBV, the Company\nreturned to the mineralized area this spring/summer for more detailed\nmapping and rock chip sampling, and a re-log of the historic core\nholes, using knowledge gained during the ongoing Sesmarias campaign.\n The updated geo-structural model, successfully being utilized in the\nSesmarias area, is providing new targets at MBV, particularly in the\nparts of the area where the target mineral horizon is not exposed at\nthe surface (s...
