Vancouver, BC, July 9, 2025 – TheNewswire - Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: AVU) is pleased to announce that it has formally submitted a Mining License Application (“MLA”), along with all necessary documentation, covering its 100%-owned Sesmarias copper-zinc VMS project located in the northern portion of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (“IPB”) of Portugal. The Portuguese Mining Bureau, Direção-Geral de Energia e Geologia (“DGEG”), will now take the necessary time to review the submitted documentation, and as is usually the case, may request further clarifications and/or additional documentation before a decision on granting the license is made. Paul W. Kuhn, President and CEO of Avrupa Minerals, noted, “The submission of the Mining License Application is the culmination of nearly 15 years of work in the Portuguese portion of the IPB, and 11 years of work since the discovery of Sesmarias. Persistence and continued upgrade of the 3D geo-structural model of the Sesmarias mineralization through several joint ventures and an Avrupa-funded drilling program has led to an advanced understanding of the prospect and a robust exploration model to search for further mineralization around Sesmarias and in the IPB, itself. There are still plenty of easily accessible targets at/within the Sesmarias massive sulfide body, and we see opportunity for potentially enlarging the Central Zone at Sesmarias and bringing the massive sulfide mineralization in the Northern and Southern Zones into a possible resource story. We look forward to working with the DGEG in the coming months to insure a positive transition into the next phase of the Sesmarias Project.”
