Avalon’s Lithium Hydroxide Product Successfully Tested as Lithium Ion Battery Cathode Material

Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. (TSX: AVL) (OTCQX: AVLNF) (“Avalon” or the “Company”) is pleased to report on the results from laboratory testing of its lithium hydroxide product conducted recently by the National Research Council of Canada (“NRC”). The lithium hydroxide product was made from petalite concentrate using Avalon’s proprietary hydrometallurgical process developed for the Separation Rapids Lithium Project, Kenora, ON.
As quoted in the press release:

The product sample, technically referred to as Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate (LiOH.H2O), was evaluated by NRC as a potential feed material for lithium ion battery cathodes. Elemental analysis of Avalon’s lithium hydroxide product confirmed that it was of high purity with very minor amounts of non-lithium metal impurities within the range reported by commercial suppliers of battery grade lithium hydroxide materials.
