Rare Earth Minerals explorer and developer Avalon Rare Metals (TSX: AVL)(OTCQX: AVARF) has scooped the 2010 Environmental & Social Responsibility Award at this year’s Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada ("PDAC") convention in Toronto, Canada

De Beers Canada was also a recipient of the award this year.
"Avalon is honoured to accept PDAC's Environmental & Social Responsibility Award." beamed Don Bubar, President & CEO during his remarks, "Since I joined the PDAC Board in 2004, I have been actively advocating for greater participation by aboriginal peoples in our industry and greater co-operation between companies and communities.
Thor Lake has provided an opportunity to practice what I have been preaching." Bubar went on to praise the efforts of Vice-President, Exploration, Bill Mercer as "a committed and inspirational partner" in implementing the principles of e3 Plus.
Bubar went on to recognize the leaders of Avalon's First Nations partners who were in attendance at the event, Chief Ted Tsetta, Yellowknives Dene First Nation, Chief Steven Nitah, Lutselk'e Dene First Nation, Chief Louis Balsillie, Deninu Kue First Nation and Chief Roy Fabien, Katlodechee First Nation, noting that, "It takes visionary community leadership to build successful partnerships".
