Called the Snowbank pegmatite, the find was made about 4 km northwest of the main deposit on land Avalon acquired in 2017. Following the discovery, a preliminary channel sampling program was carried out. The main pegmatite returned 1.53%, 1.61% and 1.07% lithium oxide over lengths of 2 to 3 metres. Channels were cut perpendicular to the strike of the pegmatite and 10 metres apart. Avalon has identified several targets at Snowbank and three other pegmatite occurrences -  Glitter, Wolf and Rattler. The company noted in a release that its claims are located in the traditional territory of the Wabaseemoong Independent Nation of Whitedog, Ont.
