Pyhäsalmi District Base-Metal Project Opportunity, Finland

by Montpellier

Akkerman Finland Oy (AFOy – 51% Akkerman Exploration, 49% Avrupa Minerals) is offering a unique investment opportunity in a base-metal exploration project (copper, zinc, lead, gold silver).

The project is located in Central Finland and forms part of a well-known mining camp, including two principal world-class deposits, Vihanti and Pyhäsalmi. Both were mined since the early 1960’s by former state company Outokumpu, producing copper and zinc concentrates.

Geologically, The Opportunity covers part of a 200-km long Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) belt, where numerous massive sulfide deposits were formed by submarine volcanism. In total, some 50 smaller base metal deposits and occurrences are known to exist, apart from the large Vihanti and Pyhäsalmi deposits.

Most of the known deposits were discovered by the Finnish Geological Survey (GTK) or by Outokumpu Oy through systematic, near-surface exploration in the period 1950-2000
