Current Activities

Avalon is currently evaluating the opportunity to apply an innovative, new extraction technology to recover rare earths and other metals from acid mine drainage at closed mine sites, and subsequently remediate their environmental liabilities. Initial laboratory test results are encouraging and Avalon plans to work with the innovator of this new technology to begin operation of a demonstration facility to scale up the process as a first step toward commercialization. Avalon is also actively seeking other opportunities related to extracting value from waste materials that offer potential for near term revenue streams.

Process development work continues on Avalon's Separation Rapids Lithium Project (Kenora, Ontario) to produce high-purity petalite product samples for glass-ceramic manufacturers who have expressed strong interest in Avalon's product. The Company is planning to proceed this summer with the recovery of a bulk sample for processing to recover product samples for customer qualification, while continuing to look at opportunities to produce lithium battery materials.

Avalon also plans to re-activate its Lilypad Tantalum-Cesium Project (Fort Hope, Ontario) this summer. In addition to the global need for establishing new cesium supply chains, there is also renewed interest in tantalum, another technology metal with limited supplies from non-conflict sources.
