Avalon is in the unique position of owning and developing one of the world´s largest rare earth deposits in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
The term Rare Earth Elements(REEs) is used to describe the 15 lanthanide elements or metals and, more recently, the metals yttrium and scandium; all of which display similar physical and chemical properties. REEs are not particularly rare and have a similar abundance in the earth´s crust to nickel, tin or tungsten.
