This project builds on our existing scandium production operation in Quebec and enhances our position to become a global leading supplier in the developing scandium market. Proposed mining operations. The proposed mine will be a small, shallow, open-cut operation with a minimum footprint, and no tailings dam, blasting or extensive water use.

Scandium has been mined from various deposits over the past century, yet the metallogenesis of Sc deposits remains ambiguous. In this paper, we have classified Sc deposits into magmatic, hydrothermal, and supergene deposits.
On the basis of available core samples, we propose that a promising target area to mine Sc is along a west–east transect between longitudes 153°30′ E and 154°00′ E, at an approximate ...
Approximately 90% of global production is from the Bayan Obo deposit in China, where scandium is a by-product of mining other REE and iron. It is hosted mostly by aegirine, although a small but significant proportion is present in bastnäsite-Ce, monazite-Ce, and fluorite. After China, Russia is the most important scandium-producing country.

The European Union and several countries/regions classified the rare-earth elements (REEs), such as lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, and scandium, as critical due to the risk of supply interruption. For this reason, the growing demand for REEs has resulted in forgotten reserves receiving economic interest. So, the search for new sources and the …
Anticipated to support a 50-year mine life, the project will produce high purity cobalt-nickel sulphates along with scandium, boasting robust economics. These include Life of Mine (LOM) revenue of US$16.3 billion, LOM EBITDA of US$10.8 billion, average free cash flow (post-tax) of US$308 million pa and NPV8 of US$1.2 billion.

Scandium is a soft, silvery metallic element. Its atomic number is 21, making it the lightest of the transition metals. Scandium is not particularly rare - its occurrence in crustal rocks is 22 around ppm. This makes scandium generally more abundant than lead, mercury, and precious metals. Despite this fairly common occurrence, scandium rarely ...
According to NioCorp's June 2022 Elk Creek Feasibility Study, the Project has a Pre-Tax Net Present Value of $2.8 billion, a pre-tax Internal Rate of Return 29.2%, and a relatively long mine life of 38 years. The Study also confirms that the Project's rare earth indicated resource is second only to MP Materials' Mountain Pass deposit in ...
In addition, characterization of the spatial distribution of other potentially economic components (e.g., scandium in baddeleyite, Kalashnikov et al., 2016) could improve efficiency of the mine. There are no fast and inexpensive methods for real-time assaying of chemical composition, grain-size distribution and inclusions of the ore …
Flemington project - An option from Jervois Mining over one of the highest grade scandium deposits in the world, adjacent to Syerston in NSW, has a resource of 3.14Mt @ 434 grams per tonne scandium.
This optimization will be done using a 600kg ore sample that is part of a 15-tonne bulk sample extracted from Crater Lake and stored in Sept-Iles, Quebec. ... scandium and Imperial Mining.
Scandium is mostly found in uranium, tantalum, aluminum, and zirconium ores in America; nickel laterite ores in Australia; iron, tin, and tungsten ores in China; …
Scandium minerals with high scandium content, such as thortveitite and lolbeckite, are mainly dispersed in the thortveitite-rich pegmatites in Madagascar and Norway (Hedrick, 2010a).One of ores in Norway is a double silicate of scandium and yttrium with the formula of 2SiO 2 Y 2 O 3 Sc 2 O 3 (Baptiste, 1959).Another ore in Madagascar …
Russia (apatite and uranium), and Ukraine (uranium). Foreign mine production data for 2020 were not available. World Resources : 6. Resources of scandium are abundant. Scandium's crustal abundance is greater than that of lead. Scandium lacks affinity for the common ore-forming anions; therefore, it is widely dispersed in the lithosphere
Mining dilution of ~6% was applied to all stopes and development, based on 3% for the primary stopes, 9% for the secondary stopes, and 5% for ore development. Mining recoveries of 95% were applied in longhole stopes …
The rare earths are a relatively abundant group of 17 elements composed of scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanides. The elements range in crustal abundance from cerium, the 25th most abundant element of the 78 common elements in the Earth's crust at 60 parts per million, to thulium and lutetium, the least abundant rare-earth elements at about 0. ...
