Toronto, ON – Avalon Advanced Materials Inc.(TSX: AVL and OTCQX: AVLNF) (“Avalon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it will be pursuing a staged development approach for the Separation Rapids Lithium Project involving initial construction of a demonstration scale process plant in the Kenora area. This approach will satisfy the need to produce large volume trial samples of the Company’s various lithium products for its customers. The facility would incorporate capacity both for lithium mineral concentration and for piloting Avalon’s proprietary hydrometallurgical process to produce lithium battery materials including both lithium hydroxide and carbonate from petalite concentrates.
