The Company currently holds 15 exploration licenses in three European countries,
including nine in Portugal covering 2,980 km2, five in Kosovo covering 153 km2,
and one in Germany covering 307 km2. Avrupa operates three joint ventures in
Portugal, including:




--  The Alvalade JV, with Antofagasta, covering one license in the Iberian
    Pyrite Belt of southern Portugal, for Cu-rich massive sulfide deposits;

    northern Portugal, for intrusion-related W deposits; and

    located adjacent to the Covas JV, for intrusion-related Au-W deposits.



Avrupa is currently upgrading precious and base metal targets to JV-ready status
in a variety of districts on their other licenses, with the idea of attracting
potential partners to project-specific and/or regional exploration programs.
