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.

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". Aankondiging • Apr 17
