Avalon Advanced Materials Inc – Industry Bulletin: Interest in establishing lithium battery materials supply chains in Canada continues to grow with German automakers now encouraged to provide support
Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. (“Avalon” or the “Company”) (AVL:TSX, AVLNF:OTCQB) is pleased to provide an update on the growing interest amongst major international automakers to take advantage of Canada’s vast resources of the critical minerals needed in lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles.
In addition to attracting interest from GM, LG and Stellantis in Ontario, the Federal Government also announced on August 23 that Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz signed agreements with the government of Canada to secure access to lithium, cobalt and other raw materials used in electric vehicle batteries. Volkswagen (“VW”) will ramp up efforts to source raw materials in Canada, according to a memorandum of understanding. The agreement will “offer Canadian suppliers an opportunity to act as raw material suppliers, refiners and processors” for the automaker, VW said in a statement. Mercedes-Benz will also explore opportunities for mining, refining and cell manufacturing in the country, as part of a separate memorandum.

With the growing awareness of Avalon’s plans to establish a new lithium refinery in Thunder Bay to produce lithium hydroxide, combined with all the recent news on the growing interest from international automakers to secure lithium supplies in Canada, the door is opening wider for Avalon to secure firm commitments from end-users that will support the Company’s production plans. The recent news may have been the catalyst for the increased trading activity in the Company’s shares on Friday with a volume of over 2.5 million shares and a 15% price increase.
In addition to the interest from Germany, there is also growing interest from Korea in accessing lithium battery materials here in Canada. The very first Korea/Canada EV/Battery Partnership Forum, supported by Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) and Automotive Parts Manufacturer’s Association (APMA) will be held in Toronto on September 16 for Korean and Canadian manufacturers, as well as buyers, to engage in networking and building prospective business partnerships among those involved in the EV/Battery sector.
