Edison's comprehensive report, Largest ex-China HREE project,
was published today, and examines the investment case for Avalon,
the mineral development company.
Highlights from the analysis by Tom
Hayes, an analyst on Edison's Mining team, include:
Most advanced non-Chinese heavy rare earth element (HREE)
enriched project, Nechalacho in Northwest
Territories, Canada.
Planned construction of a separation plant in Louisiana, US, has the potential to vastly
reduce western end-user exposure to Chinese dominant supply of
HREE.
Avalon has strong relationships with future off-take partners,
helped in part by strict adherence to its Corporate Sustainability
Report, a key differentiator in the rare earth space.
Avalon Rare Metals is a mineral development company focused on
developing its 100%-owned Nechalacho project in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It also has a
number of other exploration-stage rare metals projects in
North America.
