Company changes its name from Avalon Minerals Limited to Sunstone Metals Limited. The Board believes that the name of the Company should reflect its strategic direction, and with the Company’s move into Ecuador, the focus is shifting from Scandinavia alone, with which the name Avalon Minerals has been historically associated. A Sunstone is a fabled mineral that the Vikings used to navigate as they explored the world beyond Scandinavia, therefore the Board believe that Sunstone Metals is the ideal name to carry the Company on its journey to explore beyond Scandinavia.
