Vancouver, BC — December 29, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:AVU) has closed a private placement, raising $570,000 through the sale of 11,400,000 units at $0.05 per unit.
Each unit includes one common share and one common share purchase warrant. The warrant allows the holder to buy one common share for $0.075 until December 29, 2028. The warrants are non-transferable, and all securities have a four-month hold expiring on April 30, 2026. The company also paid a cash finder’s fee of $800.

The funds from the private placement will be used to explore its copper projects in Finland, support ongoing operations in Portugal, and for general working capital. Avrupa also owns the Slivova gold project in Kosovo, which is under option to a third party.
