Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: AVU) reports progress with internal studies covering the Rauhala massive sulfide deposit, located near the historic Vihanti Mine in the Vihanti-Pyhäsalmi Mining District in central Finland.
Avrupa’s partnership with Akkerman Exploration bv (“AEbv”) in the Finnish operating company Akkerman Finland Oy (“AFOy”) is advancing five massive sulfide projects in the district, including Rauhala. According to AEbv research, compilation, and recent reporting, the Rauhala deposit is a small, high-grade, sediment-hosted massive sulfide deposit located southwest of the historic Vihanti Mine in Central Finland. The Geological Survey of Finland discovered the deposit in 1985 and outlined mineralization with 61 drill holes. The mining company Outokumpu Oy took over the project in 1987, drilled nine more infill holes and in 1988 reported an in-house, non-NI 43-101 compliant geological resource* of 880,500 mt @ 1.6% copper, 6.1% zinc, 1% lead, 0,5 g/t gold, and 49 g/t silver. Reference to the private report (in Finnish) may be found at: 1988 Outokumpu report.
