Avrupa Minerals provided an update on initial work at the Kolima project, one of its recently acquired VMS projects in central Finland. At Kolima, historic work outlined the occurrence of widespread disseminated sulfides together with locally occurring semi-massive to massive Zn-Pb-Ag sulfide mineralization, which is currently interpreted to represent distal parts of a volcanogenic, massive sulfide system. A more recent, 2021 SkyTEM survey outlined three significant conductors within the property, partly correlating with strike extension of the inferred ore horizon, as defined by historic drilling data. Whilst awaiting an exploration permit covering two of the conductors, the company initiated a detailed re-log campaign of the old drill core, in order to define potential mineralogical and geochemical vectors towards mineralization, assess the strength of the system, and investigate the area between conductor 1 and 3.
