Overview
About Avalon Advanced Materials
Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. (TSX: AVL; OTCQB: AVLNF) is a Toronto, Canada-based rare-earth and critical-minerals company advancing lithium and rare earth element projects to support secure North American and allied supply chains. Its flagship Nechalacho Rare Earth Elements and Zirconium Project in the Northwest Territories hosts all light and heavy rare earths plus yttrium, zirconium, tantalum and niobium, with a focus on neodymium and praseodymium for permanent magnets. The company also holds lithium assets in Ontario.
In 2026 Avalon re-activated Nechalacho, commissioning an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment with Wood Canada and re-engaging metallurgist Dave Marsh to modernize the processing flowsheet for financing readiness. In April 2026 Avalon was added to the Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China ETF (REXC), reflecting renewed investor interest in non-Chinese rare-earth supply.
