Avalon Rare Metals {TSX: AVL} President and CEO Don Bubar made a strong presentation to a full house, concerning AVL’s new lithium project, Separation Rapids.

The evening was opened by keynote speaker Simon Moores of Benchmark Minerals

The City Investors Circle lithium focused evening proved popular with investors, with a full house to listen to two presentations on the lithium industry and forward projections for supply and demand.

Simon Moores, MD of Benchmark Minerals opened proceedings with a talk of the lithium-ion battery supply chain, and featured many interesting slides on supply future and demand assumptions.

Simon Then handed the floor to Don Bubar of Avalon Rare Metals, who presented on their new Separation Rapids lithium project in Canada.

Don focused on the uniqueness of the lithium they have, and the low cost and ease of extraction, being at surface.

The presentation finished with a review of the East Kemptville tin project, and the possibility of a low cost small startup option being explored, that would generate positive cashflow for AVL, for a modest capex.

It was heartening to see such a crowd for a Canadian junior in London given the current market malaise, and testament to the fact that Don Bubar is a regular visitor to London to update investors, regardless of the market conditions, and is to be congratulated for doing so.
