Avalon Ventures Ltd. is an emerging high-technology metals and minerals company with several active development-stage mining projects in Canada. The presently out-of-favor mineral resource sector now offers tremendous potential value for investors, with many stocks like Avalon trading near historic lows, despite rising demand and prices for many mineral commodities. Active companies with high-quality assets such as Avalon, will be the first to respond, as the inevitable cyclical rebound of the resource sector gets underway.
Avalon has positioned itself in a group of previously obscure metals that are becoming vital in the high-technology world that we now live in; the "Metals of the Future". Among these are the strategic metal tantalum and the precious metal palladium as well as platinum, lithium, cesium and rubidium.
Tantalum is presently in very high demand because of its use in the manufacture of wireless communication devices such as cellular phones and pagers, which are experiencing explosive growth in popularity worldwide. Tantalum is used to make the miniature, high-efficiency electronic capacitors which are an essential component of any small electronic circuit board. This strong new demand has caused tantalum prices to double over the past year from less than $40/lb to over $80/lb today, as end-users scramble to secure new supplies of this very rare metal.
Avalon controls three high-potential tantalum mineral properties in Ontario, Canada and with the backing of new American investors familiar with tantalum markets, have recently initiated a US $500,000 work program to be completed by December, 2000 designed to identify new economic deposits. Any new discovery on these projects would certainly give Avalon a huge boost in the market. Avalon is also actively exploring two palladium-platinum projects in Ontario, Canada with similar potential for new discoveries and creation of enormous new shareholder value. Palladium, like tantalum, has seen its price double over the past year from $350 per ounce in 1999 to over $700 per ounce today! This is because palladium is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of catalytic converter pollution control devices for automobiles, and is now in very short supply. Auto manufacturers in North America, Europe and Japan cannot sell a car without one of these devices and this requirement will likely extend around the world, creating even more demand for palladium. Avalon and joint venture partners Starcore Resources, Canadian Golden Dragon and East West Resources made two new palladium-platinum-copper-nickel finds last summer that both show excellent economic potential. New drilling programs will be carried out on both projects this fall, giving Avalon five active projects, all of which could deliver positive results over the next two to three months.
And if thats not enough, Avalon also has one advanced stage project about to undergo a full feasibility study, that could generate cash flow for the Company in the near-term. Called the "Big Whopper", this deposit hosts the worlds largest and richest resource of the rare and valuable lithium mineral called petalite, which is currently produced at only one other locality in the world, and is used to make certain high-strength and high-technology glass and ceramic products. News of the discovery sent the Avalon share price soaring to an all- time high of $3.45 back in October 1997.The deposit also contains other valuable mineral products and a pre-feasibility study completed a year ago shows the deposit will be highly profitable with a pre-tax rate of return estimated at nearly 40%! Avalon is in discussions with several potential investors to provide the $2-3 million required for a pilot plant facility, that will help finalize design parameters before proceeding to full production. "That" says company President Don Bubar, "could happen sooner rather than later".
With all these projects on the go, and a large, loyal shareholder following, numbering over 3000 individuals, it is only a matter of time before Avalon gets the recognition from the market that such a high-quality asset base deserves.
