Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (AVU:TSXV) (US OTC:AVPMF) (FRANKFURT:8AM) is pleased to announce that it has arranged a private placement of 5 million units at 5 cents each to raise $250,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant will be non-transferable and will allow the holder to purchase one additional common share for period of two years for an additional 5 cents.

The proceeds of this offering will be used to cover costs necessary to complete the recently-announced option agreement for Avrupa’s Alvalade VMS copper-zinc project in Portugal, including legal, regulatory and administrative costs, as well as for review of new project opportunities in Europe.

In order for the upcoming Alvalade option agreement to be completed, Avrupa will receive a cash payment of 400,000 euros (approximately C$588,000) to Avrupa which will be used for administrative costs and to advance new projects.

Paul Kuhn, CEO, noted that “We are excited to move ahead on the Alvalade Project with our new partner. In addition, Avrupa is reviewing new opportunities and projects in Portugal and elsewhere in Europe that we can explore, upgrade, and potentially option out to new partners.”

Director Resignation

Mr. Ross Stringer, CPA, CA has also stepped down from the board of Directors to pursue other interests. Mr. Stringer has been a great asset to the company with sound financial and management advice, and the Board thanks him for his years of service to Avrupa’s shareholders. The Board will review a list of candidates to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Stringer’s resignation.
