(Avalon or the Company)is pleased to announce the commissioning of a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for itsNechalachoRare Earths and Zirconium Project in the Northwest Territories. The refreshed PEA is intended to update and modernize the projects 2013 Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) by incorporating advances in processing technology and updated capital and operating cost assumptions reflective of current market conditions.

Advancing the PEA reflects a strategic effort to alignNechalachowith current technical, commercial, and geopolitical realities including advances in rare-earth processing technologies, evolving infrastructure andlogisticsrequirements, and the growing emphasis on secure, allied supply chains for critical minerals. The study will integrate updated cost data, revised engineering inputs, and environmental and regulatory considerations,establishinga refreshed economic and technical basis to advance project optimization, financing discussions, and strategic partnerships.

The Company has engaged 消消消消消消消娼瞳 Canada Limited (消消消消消消消娼瞳) to complete the PEA and NI 43-101 Technical Report. 消消消消消消消娼瞳 is a global leader in engineering and consulting, with extensive experience delivering prefeasibility and feasibility studies for remote mining projects, including several rare earth elements projects across Canada and the U.S.

The Company expects the refreshed PEA to be completed within approximately six months. Thereafter, Avalon intends toproceeddirectly to a DFS as the next phase of project development, providing the level of engineering, cost definition, and risk validationrequiredto confirm project viability and support project financing, offtake, and strategic partnership discussions.

Commencing a new PEArepresentsthe first step in refreshing theNechalachofeasibility study and positioning the project for its next phase of development and funding. Following the PEA, our plan is to transition into a full Definitive Feasibility Study, enablingNechalachoto move toward construction readiness with updated economics and execution planning.

As one of the few North American deposits with both light and heavy rare earths and a uniquely high concentration of magnet-grade materials,Nechalachois strategically positioned to support secure, allied supply chains for defense, clean energy, and advanced technologies. Advancing these studies positions the project to play a role in strengthening allied rare-earth supply chains as countriesseeksecure, diversified sources of critical minerals, said Scott Monteith, President and CEOat Avalon.

John Day, President of Projects Western Hemisphere at 消消消消消消消娼瞳, commented: We are proud to begin work on the PEA forNechalacho, whichrepresentsan important steptowards advancing a secure and sustainable supply of rare earth elements in North America. Our team brings deep experience in delivering complex studies for remote northern projects, and we look forward to applying thatexpertiseto help Avalonoptimizethe project and position it for successful development.

As previously announced in connection with the Companys Avalon is committed to advancing its core rare earth and lithium assets through updated technical and economic studies. The initiation of the updated PEA atNechalachodemonstrates the Companys execution on those commitments,advancing project readiness and supporting ongoing strategic partnershipand financing discussions.
