Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (OTC: AVPMF)

Avrupa Minerals Ltd. is a growth oriented junior exploration and development company focused on the discovery of valuable mineral deposits in Europe using a prospect generator model. The company conducts exploration activities in politically stable regions including Portugal, Finland and Kosovo. All of its mineral properties are currently at the exploration stage with no production or sales revenue generated to date.

Avrupa Minerals Ltd. does not generate operating revenue as it is engaged solely in mineral exploration. The company funds its operations through equity financings, debt settlements and contributions from joint venture partners who provide cash or work commitments to earn interests in its projects.

Within the junior exploration sector Avrupa Minerals Ltd. competes with other junior companies that seek to acquire and explore prospective mineral properties in Europe. Its competitive advantages include a prospect generator approach that reduces capital exposure, established joint venture agreements with experienced partners and access to extensive historical data from its license areas in the Iberian Pyrite Belt the Vihanti Pyhäsalmi district and the Kosovo mineral belt.

As an exploration stage entity the company does not serve traditional customers. Instead it works with joint venture partners such as Matsa Western Tethyan Resources and Akkerman Exploration B. V. who fund exploration programs in exchange for potential equity interests in the projects.
