Scandium is present in most of the deposits of rare earth and uranium compounds but it is extracted from these ores in only a few mines worldwide Because of the low availability and difficulties in the preparation of metallic scandium which was first done in 1937 applications for scandium were not developed until the 1970s when the positive effects of scandium on
Scandium Sc has unique properties highly valued for many applications Future supply is expected to rely on unusually high grade up to 1000 ppm lateritic Sc ores discovered in Eastern Australia
Rio Tinto s scandium interest continued in mid 2023 with the acquisition of the Owendale scandium deposit in New South Wales and the establishment of its dedicated scandium business unit Element North 21 In August 2023 a wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto paid US$8 million in cash to Platina Resources
lateritic deposits developed over ultramafic mafic rocks where Sc concentrations up to 100 ppm make it a potential by product Aiglsperger et al 2016; Maulana et al 2016
In some instances ultramafic laterite deposits are also enriched in scandium However the behaviour of scandium in soil plant systems and any potential geobotanical relationships with economic resources of scandium have rarely been examined In this study we applied biogeochemical prospecting techniques to a known scandium deposit in
Scandium ore deposits the pivotal role of magmatic enrichment and future Ore Geology Reviews IF Pub Date 2021 01 01 DOI /
The current study is based on the Crater Lake scandium deposit which to our knowledge is the only deposit in a syenite complex with production potential and in which scandium is the principal
Scandium Sc has unique properties highly valued for many applications Future supply is expected to rely on unusually high grade up to 1000 ppm lateritic Sc ores discovered in Eastern Australia To understand the origin of such exceptional concentrations we investigated Sc speciation in one of these deposits The major factors are
Instead they show that scandium hydroxide complexes can be important in the transport of scandium and could have contributed significantly to the formation of deposits like those at Bayan Obo
Scandium is currently in high demand because of a number of technological advances in the aerospace and automotive sectors of the global economy In this paper we review the properties of scandium the geology of the major economic and potentially economic scandium deposits and the processes that may concentrate scandium to exploitable levels We
Given our ability to produce 38 tons annually under our mining license we believe the Nyngan deposit is the most advanced Scandium project and will be one of the first projects to be developed when the market demand for Scandium becomes more mature
TSX listed Scandium International owns the shovel ready Nyngan nickel scandium project in central NSW targeting 38tpa of scandium oxide while Platina Resources ASX PGM sold a scandium project in the region to Rio
Although scandium is commonly concentrated to economic levels by magmatic processes hydrothermal fluids also play an important role in its concentration Indeed the most important source of scandium is currently the Bayan Obo deposit in China where scandium is extracted from hydrothermally produced aegirine
Russia possesses significant reserves of scandium particularly in the form of scandium enriched ores [11] Similar to China Russia also explores rare earth deposits such as magnetite iron and
In many scandium deposits clinopyroxene is the main ore mineral although in some deposits scandium is hosted by minerals that also concentrate the other REEs As is the case for these other REEs
Scandium anatase deposit of Qinglong Shazi Randomly choose 13 ore occurrence drilling single ports basic analytical combination samples to make Quantitative analysis of trace elements Based on
In some instances ultramafic laterite deposits are also enriched in scandium However the behaviour of scandium in soil plant systems and any potential geobotanical relationships with economic resources of scandium have rarely been examined In this study we applied biogeochemical prospecting techniques to a known scandium deposit in
The Shazi deposit is a newly discovered potential large scale scandium deposit located in Qinglong southwestern Guizhou Province China The iron isotopic composition of magnetite in fresh basalt weathered basalt and mineralized laterite was investigated The Fe content of fresh basalt and of weathered basalt vary from wt % to wt % and from

Reno Nevada November 9 2023 Scandium International Mining Corp TSX SCY Scandium International or the Company today announced that its 100% owned subsidiary EMC Metals Australia Pty Ltd EMC commenced physical development of the Nyngan Scandium Project following the results of the 2023 Nyngan drilling project is located kilometres
Processed scandium oxide a white powder is stable at ambient temperature and is the standard scandium form for commerce Despite scandium s scarcity and high cost interest in the metal is high and multiple high value commercial uses have been developed Of particular interest is the alloy of scandium into aluminum metal products
The scandium separation ratio reached higher values for 10% of Cyanex Cyanex 923 than D2EHPA 10% TBP 5% Scrubbing for contaminants removal may be carried out using HCl 5 mol/L with % of scandium losses and all scandium was stripped by H 3 PO 4 5 mol/L Despite the works reported in the literature there a few of them exploring the
