Environmental & Social Responsibility


Bill Mercer and Don Bubar accepts the PDAC Environmental and Social Responsibility Award from John Baird, PDAC President

Avalon is the proud recipient of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada ("PDAC"), 2010 Environmental & Social Responsibility Award in recognition of the Company's community engagement efforts during the exploration of  its Nechalacho rare earth elements deposit, Thor Lake, NWT. Avalon's overall corporate activities include:

  • Being the first junior exploration company to formally adopt PDAC's e3 Plus principles and guidelines as policy. View Responsible Exploration for more details.
  • Formed a Community, Environment, Health and Safety Advisory Committee (CEHS) to provide input and advice to executive management on issues and actions related to community, environment, health and safety. The committee includes representation from a senior environmental expert, a mining industry environmental export and an Aboriginal representative.  
  • Full disclosure and transparency by publishing all INAC Land Use inspection reports on its website (see Thor Lake Project Land Use Inspection Reports below)
  • Avalon's executives are actively engaged in PDAC's Aboriginal Affairs Committee, CSR Committee, e3 Plus subcommittee and the Health and Safety Committee.
