Avalon's Preliminary Study

Mickey Fulp, Mercenary Geologist (12/17/2010)
"Avalon Rare Metals is a company with which I have a long history of coverage, both privately and publicly. It is rapidly progressing on its Thor Lake rare earth element project where I visited twice. Since my musing last fall (Mercenary Musing, November 3, 2009), Avalon announced a new resource estimate on its Nechalacho deposit, comprehensive bench-scale metallurgical results, a preliminary feasibility study, and final winter drill results. The prefeasibility study was a very positive step in its progression toward a development decision and was the first economic analysis by any REE company. A new resource and reserve estimate incorporating winter drilling is pending and pilot plant metallurgy will commence when bulk sample material is produced from this summer’s drill program. I publicly covered Avalon in September 2008 at $1.00; it subsequently went as low as 51 cents with tax loss selling in mid December 2008, reached an all time high of $4.24 about 10 months ago, and closed today at $2.70. I am bullish on Avalon’s long term prospects."
