Avalon Rare Metals Inc. (TSX:AVL)(OTCQX:AVARF) is a mineral exploration and development company focused on the rare metal deposits in Canada. Its flagship project, the 100%-owned Nechalacho Deposit, Thor Lake, Northwest Territories, is emerging as one of the largest undeveloped rare earth elements resources in the world. Its exceptional enrichment in the more valuable ‘heavy' rare earth elements, key to enabling advances in green energy technology and other growing high-tech applications, is one of the few potential sources of these critical elements outside of China, currently the source of over 95% of the world supply. Avalon is well funded, has no debt and its work programs are progressing steadily. Social responsibility and environmental stewardship are corporate cornerstones. Avalon presently owns five rare metals and minerals projects in Canada, four of which are at advanced stages of development. These are: Nechalacho, Thor Lake, Northwest Territories, a rare earth elements ("REE") project in the pre-feasibility stage, Separation Rapids (lithium) in Ontario, Warren Township in Ontario (calcium feldspar project, currently inactive pending resolution of permitting issue), and East Kemptville, Nova Scotia, a tin-indium-gallium-germanium project where large inferred resources have been identified requiring further drilling to bring the project to the pre-feasibility stage.

Malaga Inc. is America's leading producer of tungsten ore and owns the only operating tungsten mine in the Americas. In February 2009, Malaga was successful in securing a 5-year supply agreement with a large tungsten end-user. The Pasto Bueno tungsten mine was purchased in 2005 by Malaga which has since invested more than 19.2 million dollars to restart and to increase tungsten production. Since 1941, more than 6 million tons of tungsten ore has been produced at Pasto Bueno. Current tungsten concentrate production is approximately 5,000 MTU per month (1 MTU = 10 kilos of tungsten concentrate) and Malaga expects to double this in 2010. Malaga produces one of the highest quality tungsten concentrates available in the world due to its low content of impurities.Malaga trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (MLG), is a pure tungsten play, and is currently the only publicly traded tungsten producing company outside of China.
