NEWS RELEASE

No. 16-01 |
Avalon sets Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders
for February |
24, 2016 |
Toronto, ON Avalon Rare
Metals Inc. (TSX: AVL
and OTCQX: AVLNF) (Avalon or the Company)
is pleased to announce that it will hold its Annual and Special Meeting
of Shareholders (the Meeting) at 4:30 pm EST on Wednesday, February 24, 2016,
at the Toronto Board of Trade, Room A/B/C/D, located at 1 First Canadian Place,
Toronto, Ontario.
At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve a special
resolution authorizing the Company to effect a change of name from Avalon Rare
Metals Inc. to Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. Avalon deems that the current
Company name fails to adequately convey the Companys diversified specialty
metals and minerals asset base. The Company is not exclusively focused on rare
earths and current activities are now focused on its other advanced materials
assets, notably lithium and tin-indium. The proposed name of Avalon Advanced
Materials Inc. is better suited to current Company activity.
Please see Avalons Information Circular for further
information on this and other matters to be acted upon at the Meeting.
Avalons Information Circular, 2015 Presidents Message,
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 are available online at the following
locations:
- on the Companys transfer agents website at
https://noticeinsite.tmxequity.com/AvalonRareMetalsASM2016/
- on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com
- on the Companys web site at

Avalon has implemented the Notice and Access Provisions of NI
54-101, an environmentally friendly alternative that will reduce paper, printing and mailing costs associated with the dissemination of annual
information to approximately 20,000 shareholders. Non-registered shareholders
will receive paper copies of the Notice of Meeting and Form of Proxy in the
usual manner, as well as a notice document which contains information on how to
obtain electronic or paper copies of the rest of the meeting materials in
advance of the Meeting. Due to certain requirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act,
the Company has sent a paper copy of all of the above materials directly to
registered shareholders.
