Rare earths development to remain dormant
Avalon Rare Metals Inc., says Thor Lake Nechalacho, its rare earths development 100 km outside Yellowknife, will likely remain inactive for the duration of this year. The company is examining the feasibility of producing zirconium - used in paper coating, antiperspirants and paint dryers - as a primary product when funding becomes available. The rare earths market remains in recession with some prices falling 30 to 50 per cent in 2015.
