Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. Initiates Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for Nechalacho Project Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. announced the commissioning of a new Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for its Nechalacho Rare Earths and Zirconium Project in the Northwest Territories. The refreshed PEA is intended to update and modernize the project's 2013 Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") by incorporating advances in processing technology and updated capital and operating cost assumptions reflective of current market conditions. Advancing the PEA reflects a strategic effort to align Nechalacho with current technical, commercial, and geopolitical realities - including advances in rare-earth processing technologies, evolving infrastructure and logistics requirements, and the growing emphasis on secure, allied supply chains for critical minerals. The study will integrate updated cost data, revised engineering inputs, and environmental and regulatory considerations, establishing a refreshed economic and technical basis to advance project optimization, financing discussions, and strategic partnerships. The Company has engaged Wood Canada Limited ("Wood") to complete the PEA and NI 43-101 Technical Report. Wood is a global leader in engineering and consulting, with extensive experience delivering prefeasibility and feasibility studies for remote mining projects, including several rare earth elements projects across Canada and the U.S. The Company expects the refreshed PEA to be completed within approximately six months. Thereafter, Avalon intends to proceed directly to a DFS as the next phase of project development, providing the level of engineering, cost definition, and risk validation required to confirm project viability and support project financing, offtake, and strategic partnership discussions. As previously announced in connection with the Company's CAD 18.65 million financing, Avalon is committed to advancing its core rare earth and lithium assets through updated technical and economic studies. The initiation of the updated PEA at Nechalacho demonstrates the Company's execution on those commitments, advancing project readiness and supporting ongoing strategic partnership and financing discussions.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 41% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (35% average weekly change).

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: CA$12.5m (US$9.08m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.

Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. in Conjunction with Its Joint-Venture Partner SCR-Sibelco NV Reports the Second and Final Batch of Drill Results for the 2024 Winter Drill Campaign Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. in conjunction with its Joint-Venture ("JV") partner SCR-Sibelco NV ("Sibelco"), reported the second and final batch of drill results for the 2024 winter drill campaign (which totaled 10 holes) from the Separation Rapids Project in Kenora, Ontario (the "Project"). The 2024 winter drill campaign was conducted by the Joint Venture Company Separation Rapids Ltd., which is 60% owned by Sibelco and 40% owned by Avalon. The results represent 199 assay results from 5 diamond drill holes completed as part of the 2024 expansion and infill drill campaign at the current 750m strike length Big Whopper Deposit. The drill program was intended to upgrade the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimation classification as well as to expand the mineral resources. Drill Highlights includes from Big Whopper Deposit: SR24-121 intersected 1.54% Li2O over 136.95 meters from 321.00m including 2.28% Li2O over 4.00 meters from 421.00m. SR24-119 intersected 1.87% Li2O over 17.15 meters from 284.40m SR24-120 intersected 1.60% Li2O over 12.80 meters from 66.15m. All quoted intersections comprise a cutoff grade of 0.5% Li2O. All significant assay intervals with true widths are reported in Table 1. Scott Monteith, CEO and Director, commented, " These exceptional results taken over very long intervals are a clear indication of the highly efficient drilling program by JV Partner Sibelco. Another long, massive intercept on Hole SR24-121 will be key to growing the mineral resource base. What is exceptionally exciting is the depth potential, with hole SR24-121 effectively intersecting 136.95m mineralization from 321m downhole. This hole supports belief that the company have barely begun to uncover the potential of lithium resources at the Separation Rapids deposit. With its objectives for the 2024 winter drilling campaign accomplished, the company look forward to the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate". The results from the second batch of the 2024 drill campaign continues to identify mineralization below the current resource pit shell with drill hole SR24-121 intersecting values 0. 5% Li2O over a 136-meter interval, opening the main zone at depth. Eastern drilling shows promise of possible extension to the current resource boundaries. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is planned for Third Quarter of 2024 which will include results of the 2024 winter drill campaign. Total drill meterage will increase from 18,500 meters of drilling to 26,241 meters. A property wide mapping and sampling program was completed in late July 2024 with a focus on satellite targets and areas of limited geological data for further evaluation of the promising potential on the property. This mapping program covered approximately 5 kilometers along strike and is currently being modelled and interpreted for further evaluation. Four drill holes returned significant drill intercepts greater >/=0.5% Li2O". New Risk • Jul 24

Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. Provides Update on Separation Rapids Lithium Project Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. provided an update on its preparations for the installation and commissioning of its demonstration Dense Media Separation plant for the Separation Rapids Lithium Project north of Kenora, Ontario. Roadwork and site preparation work for the installation and commissioning of the DMS plant have commenced at the Avalon Quarry site along the Avalon Road to the Separation Rapids project site. The Avalon Quarry site is a permitted Aggregate Quarry located approximately 2 km north of the Sand Lake Road and approximately 7 km south of the project site. Aggregate for the road work will be produced at this Quarry as part of an initiative to prepare the road for heavy equipment transport and to prepare the site for the DMS plant installation. The aggregate production, road repairs, site preparation and bulk sample crushing and hauling is being done by SOW Construction Limited Partnership, a joint venture between Moncrief Construction Limited, a large Kenora-based construction contractor and Wabaseemoong Independent Nations, in whose traditional territory the Project is located. This work is now underway and is expected to be completed later this summer. The 5,000 tonne bulk sample collected from the project site in 2021 will now be crushed and returned to the Quarry site as initial feed for the DMS Plant to begin producing petalite concentrate product samples for the many international glass-ceramic manufacturers that have expressed interest. The plant will also be used to produce potential by-products including rubidium bearing K-feldspars which are also used in certain ceramic applications. Installation of the demonstration DMS plant is expected to begin this fall with the plant expected to be operational by Spring 2023. Meanwhile, the Company continues to progress towards acquisition of an industrial site in Thunder Bay that would be the location for establishing the Company's planned regional lithium battery materials refinery. An appropriate site has been identified and an offer made with the acquisition expected to be completed in September, once debt financing has been arranged. Reported Earnings • Jul 14

Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. Reports Encouraging Initial Cesium Assay Results from Recent Lilypad Project Field Program Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. announced that it has received initial assay results from grab samples collected during the summer exploration program on the Lilypad Cesium Project located 350 km north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The new results confirm the exceptional cesium enrichment in several Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum ("LCT") pegmatite dyke occurrences on the property. Cesium is a rare element in growing demand for many new technologies, but with very limited supply following the cessation of mine production from the world's largest historical producer, the Tanco mine, near Bernic Lake, Manitoba. The work program included line cutting, soil and biogeochemistry grid sampling, as well as geological mapping and sampling over the area of the known LCT pegmatite field. The soil and biogeochemistry results have not yet been received but are anticipated to indicate directions for extensions of the known pegmatites and identify new pegmatite targets in overburden-covered areas for testing in a future drill program. Additional bulk sampling of the cesium-rich Pollucite Dyke was also carried out and Avalon now has about 400 kg of the pollucite mineralization available for further metallurgical testwork. Sub-samples of the bulk sample assayed at Saskatchewan Research Council averaged 3.02% Cs2O, 1.07% Li2O and 0.03% Ta2O5, similar to the average grade of the historic resource.

Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. Enters into a Letter of Intent with Rock Tech Lithium Inc to Collaborate on the Development of a Lithium Battery Materials Process Facility Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. announce it has entered into a Letter of Intent with Rock Tech Lithium Inc. to collaborate on the development of a lithium battery materials process facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario. This facility would be designed to accept lithium mineral concentrates from Avalon's Separation Rapids Lithium Project (70 km north of Kenora) and Rock Tech's Georgia Lake Lithium Project (145 km northeast of Thunder Bay), as well as potentially other emerging, new lithium mining operations in northern Ontario, to produce lithium sulphate, a precursor chemical for lithium-ion batteries. Avalon and Rock Tech have determined the next steps as follows: Design a process flowsheet that allows the treatment of petalite, spodumene and potentially other lithium mineral concentrates. The product of the flowsheet will be lithium sulphate, that can either be shipped off site or locally upgraded to lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide. Conduct a piloting campaign using this process flowsheet to prove scalability of the process to industrial scale and Feasibility level. Identify alternative applications for high purity aluminum silicate by-product in other industries, such
as the cement or ceramics industry. Annuncio • Oct 16
Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. Re-Activates Its 100% Owned Lilypad Cesium-Tantalum-Lithium Project Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. announce that it has re-activated its 100% owned Lilypad Cesium-Tantalum-Lithium Proj ct ("Lilypad") due to increasing demand for cesium. Cesium is a rare element in growing demand for many new technologies, but with very limited supply following the cessation of production from the world's historical producer, the Tanco mine, near Bernic Lake, Manitoba. The Lilypad Property consists of 14 claims covering 3,108 ha located approximately 350 km north of Thunder Bay, near the community of Fort Hope in the traditional territory of the Eabametoong First Nation. Historical work by Avalon at Lilypad in 2001-2, that was focused on defining tantalum resources, was also successful in identifying widespread occurrences of the cesium ore mineral pollucite ((Cs,Na)2Al2Si4O122H2O) in a field of highly fractionated lithium-cesium-tantalum ("LCT") pegmatite dykes. Avalon's recent work involved a short field program to collect 200 kg of cesium mineralized pegmatite rock for study on how to efficiently concentrate the pollucite mineralization which, unlike most such occurrences, is found widely distributed throughout the many LCT pegmatite dykes on the property. Planned follow-up work will initially involve mineralogical and analytical testwork to characterize in detail how the pollucite occurs, which will be followed by metallurgical process testwork to identify the most efficient methods for concentrating the pollucite and recovering by-product tantalum and lithium. Most of the 200 kg of sample material was collected from one occurrence known as the Pollucite Dyke. It was drilled by Avalon in 2001 and a preliminary resource was estimated in 2001 to contain roughly 340,000 tonnes grading 2.294% Cs2O and 0.037% Ta2O5 based on 9 holes drilled to a maximum vertical depth of 250 metres. The resource is open to depth and along strike for expansion. Other similar pollucite-bearing LCT pegmatite dykes on the property remain untested. Annuncio • Oct 08
Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. Provides Update on Metallurgical Process Optimization Work for Separation Rapids Lithium Project, Kenora Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. provided an update on its Separation Rapids Lithium Project situated approximately 70 km by road north of Kenora, Ontario. The Company is continuing to look at market opportunities to serve both the glass-ceramics market with its lithium mineral product and the lithium battery materials market with its high purity lithium hydroxide product. In its 2016 Preliminary Economic Assessment, Avalon developed a proprietary process flowsheet to produce a high purity lithium hydroxide product from petalite for the lithium battery material market. The flowsheet has the advantage of generating limited waste by the recycling of the sulphuric acid solvent. To further optimize this flowsheet, Avalon has shipped a 50 kg sample of petalite concentrate to XPS in Sudbury, Ontario to generate leach solution for use in optimizing the final stages of the process, which involves the use of electrolysis to produce lithium hydroxide. The program will focus on an improved membrane alternative and efficient crystallization of the final high purity product. The results will enable finalizing equipment selection and design. With Ontario Premier Doug Ford recently announcing Ontario's interest in establishing new battery materials supply chains in the province, Avalon is investigating collaborative opportunities to establish a lithium processing facility in Northwestern Ontario. The facility being planned would produce lithium hydroxide, and would also accept concentrates from other producers of lithium minerals from the many pegmatite deposits that occur in northern Ontario.
