Scandium International’s CEO on the impact of the US-China trade war on the global supply of scandium


Some Comments
“Depending on what happens in trade talks between the United States and China there could be some disruption of Chinese sources of scandium and I think that is going to be a good thing for Scandium International. It is going to highlight the fact that we are earliest possible producer outside of China, in the Australian clay belt. We are of a good size and of commercial scale to offer scandium to the waiting global markets outside of the disruptions what are apparently going to be caused by this trade dispute…” States George Putnam, President, CEO, and Director of Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSX: SCY), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky.

George went on to discuss Scandium International’s mine lease for its Nyngan Scandium Project. He said that the company is in discussions with the New South Wales’ Department of Planning and Environment and expects that the mine lease will be reissued soon. George also provided an update on the LOIs with customers. He said that Scandium International is expecting full technical success with two of its LOI partners and are working to add more potential customers in the form of LOIs this year.

The geology is simple while the metallurgy is not - it took SCY years and millions to understand and crack the HPAL process and get good recoveries. Then you can't just mine ore if you do not have a plant to process it, (what would you do with it???) even if you know how to extract the minerals. Before they can build a plant they must raise money, done via "talking about it" to financiers and banks, usually for about a year or so, sometimes much longer. This is a specialty project after all.

Also there is no way they will get $125k a lb that would provide no value to most industries that desire it. Mass production will drop the price for commoditized 97-99% powder oxide powder hopefully to less than $1500/kilo - providing win win cost benefits to countless industries.

Yes, but it's important to recognize that we are not competing companies in the scandium space - we need each other to be fully successful. NIO will produce 103tonnes p/a which is 7-10 times what the globe sells now, but it's a mere fraction of what is required if the auto/aerospace/fuel-cell industry climb on board the scandium revolution (lighter-stronger-cleaner). Which they want to do - when the supply component is secured.

If the scandium is just lying there waiting to be scooped up ("SCY is easy geology at surface"), it might be nice if they started actually digging the stuff out instead of just talking about it, especially since it goes for $122,500 a pound. The Finland news is IMO pure fluff.
👍️0
TMLonggun TMLonggun 7 years ago
I agree. It should also be noted Niocorp is mainly about niobium while SCY is a pure scandium play, with all the pros and cons that entails. SCY has basically unlimited production potential while Nio's scandium ore is not even correlated directly with niobium, which means they are kind of going in two directions. SCY is easy geology at surface (like Mexus), NIO is deeper and complex. Nio needs a billion dollars (ouch) SCY needs 1/10 that for a much higher margin project. SCY needs 125% market cap for their project, Nio needs 560%+ - very hard to raise 5.6 x your market cap for a project. Very easy in comparison to raise 100m (near market cap) with a DFS that has such a high IRR.

The market desires reliable supply and any one project is insufficient to provide that. If the sector leaders succeed, then the new class of scandium juniors and wannabes will develop their deposits - scandium is found all over the world, US, Canada, northern Europe, Australia etc but nothing quite matches the Australian laterites which are the undisputed mother lode of scandium - bar none - no known comparable deposits exist outside of Australia. Look at the grades and depths side by side - they are striking. Niocorp can easily succeed and make a lot of money for its holders but comparing their scandium discovery to SCY or any of the other Australians like Clean Teq or Metallica is a joke. One is a lean, mean Olympic athlete, the other is a tad overweight.

Side note: Clean Teq now has a Canadian listing (finally!) and is an excellent company with fascinating water purification technology and some of the best scandium on Earth. Kind of an interesting combo, even if they have slowed development of their mining projects as I understand it. On my list to do some research, I really like Friedland.

Probably worth it to own a basket of scandium companies weighted in SCY's favour imo.

I bet SCY starts to raise money here shortly and that should begin the next (less boring) stage of the mine cycle. In the mean time, we wait patiently (or not).

Hey Realtor, the fact is - in order to kickstart this scandium renaissance with the big players like Boeing, Airbus auto industry etc etc. they need to know that there is a safe secure and sufficient amount of Sc being produce
Reliably. Probably in the order of 300-600 tonnes per/annum to start...NioCorp will produce 103 tonnes p/a. So SCY and Clean Teq and a few more is/are required.
With this scandium revolution, more producers that better!

No problem, I just call it like it is...good or bad. It's best to not be an optimist or a pessimist in the market...be a realist...call a spade a spade, and crap..crap. lol.

Nice upside move here on some decent volume after rejecting the recent downtrend low. Bollinger Band breaking out from down trend...check out the Weekly chart breaking through the middle Bollinger Band. Next stop $0.40's +, after that the upside is nearly unlimited. If we break through $0.50 it's game on, kaboom!

That broker is an idiot if he said that - it is the exact same company with the exact same results - up or down.

What he probably meant was that there may be a tiny price differential between the Canadian listed exchange and the US exchange. So the bids and offers might be a little skewed on the OTC because Market Makers like to widen the spread a bit to get fools to pay up for shares and/or sell down lower to get out. So your "return on your money" might be less if you sell into a bid on the OTC that is purposefully lower then where the stock is trading at on the TSX.

SCYYF is the Over-the-Counter symbol for SCY (which trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), which is the main exchange it trades on). SCYYF follows SCY trading. Just use a currency converter to adjust for CAD vs USD. It is the EXACT same stock. Numerous companies trade on different exchanges and do the same thing. I would avoid taking advice from that broker again.

The ONLY thing you need to follow is SCY:TSX in the link below. SCYYF:OTC will follow that exchange to the penny. Don't even worry about where SCYYF is trading and the bids/ask - it's all garbage Marker Maker games, it will follow SCY price action regardless.

I should also add, that the company is currently in the process of merging with SIL (who owns the other 20%) to become 100% owned (vs 80% owned), and the merger is going to be voted on on Sept 11th 2017 at the shareholders meeting. The price is at C$0.30 where the transaction is taking place. THAT is why we are stuck at this PPS right now.

You're welcome. I think it all comes down to getting financing and/or getting an offtake agreement signed and in place. They only need $100mil to fund the mine...that is not that much in the world of building mines.

Also, I do not think they do a good job of marketing what they have, and it's potential for massive returns to potential shareholders. I had to really dig through the Feasibility Study to find that little bit of info about the Feasibility Study using only 10% of M&I resources for it's valuations calculations, that honestly should be in BIG BOLD writing at the very top of the Feasibility Study, not on page 6 as a side note.

Whenever there is a news release I have to go looking for it.

BL4Nio BL4Nio 7 years ago
They could also expand production capacity at Nyngan or expand to Honey Bugle, like you said, and start production there as well. That's why when people talk about Scandium International they describe it as a "primary, scalable scandium supply". They could get much more out of the ground in those 26 years of mine life than what they are forecasting for now if they scale up.

Dutch123 Dutch123 7 years ago
Mine life is 21 years. This is because the NSW mining lease is max. 21 years.

The Nyngan resource is big and rich enough to extend the mine life and/or upscale production. The current scenario in the DFS only uses up 1/6 of the resource.

Max. mine life: 6 * 21 = 126 years
Max. production: 38.5 * 6 = 231 tonnes Sc per year.

The combination of 115.5 tonnes Sc for 42 years would also be possible. Remember SCY also owns Honeybugle, which is similar in size and grade.

BTW the 200 million CAD is not correct.

In the DFS: 225 million USD (8% discount rate) = 306 million CAD
👍️0
Dutch123 Dutch123 7 years ago
Husker,

1. The outcome of the NPV calculation depends on the discount rate used, individuals may use different rates. The 200 million CAD is not an ‘objective’ company value.

2. Another method often used to calculate the value of a company is based on the EBITDA. Company value = 5 to 10 times the EBITDA.
In the DFS you can find SCY’s EBITDA: 49,5 million USD
5 * 49.5 = 247.5 million USD (= 338 million CAD)
10 * 49.5 = 495 million USD (= 675 million CAD)

3. What you also should take into account is that SCY story is like the scandium story, a growth story. If you assume that SCY will double their production in 3 years, this should also be incorporated in the company value (and share price).

I think this answers your question.

SCY owns 80 percent of a 200 NPV project, so 160 million in value. Current market cap is 90 mil CAD, and they still need to raise 80 percent of 90 ish mil for Capex. So even if it could raise here at 36 cents, its market would be approx equal to NPV... before ground breaks? IMO, must trade down. 23 cents? Why is this wrong?

Scandium International Mining Corp. Receives Mining Lease Grant for Nyngan Scandium Project

Reno, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2017) - Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSX: SCY) ("Scandium International" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its subsidiary company, EMC Metals Australia, has been granted a Mining Lease for the Nyngan Scandium Project in New South Wales ("NSW"), Australia. The Mining Lease ("ML") overlays select areas previously covered by two Exploration Licenses. The ML was granted by the Minister for Resources of the State of New South Wales on May3, 2017, and represents the final major approval required from the NSW Government to begin construction on the project.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Mining Lease grant received on Nyngan Project (ML 531),
Represents final key project approval required from NSW Government,
Permits development of the world's first primary scandium mine,
Triggers project partners' decisions to reach Final Investment Decision ("FID") and,
Allows SCY to actively begin mine development, subject to project funding.

Discussion:

The Mining Lease grant represents the final governmental primary approval needed to construct a mine in the State of NSW, Australia. The ML was awarded after all environmental work was completed and reviewed, all social implications of project development were considered, and the NSW Environmental Minister issued a Development Consent in November 2016. The ML grant reflects the further review that the State resource value was considered and approved for extraction based on mine development plans. The ML was offered for a period of 21 years, and is based on the development plans and intent submitted in the ML Application. The ML can be modified by NSW regulatory agencies, as requested by EMC Australia ("EMC-A") over time, to reflect changing operating conditions.

This ML grant represents the culmination of a seven-year effort by SCY and our team of specialists, consultants and technicians, working on the Nyngan Scandium Project since 2010. That process has specifically included:

Defining a NI 43-101 scandium resource on the property,
Testing and proving a metallurgical process to economically produce significant commercial quantities of scandium oxide, and mine plans to extract scandium ore for refining to commercial grade scandium product,
Demonstrating viable economics with an independently prepared (NI 43-101) Definitive Feasibility Study,
Completing all environmental, social, developmental, and regulatory requirements specified by NSW regulators, and
Receiving final NSW Department Ministerial approvals and sign-off on this work.

SCY currently owns 80% of the Nyngan Scandium Project, through ownership of 80% of EMC Metals Australia. Our minority partner, Scandium Investments LLC ("SIL") owns the remaining 20% of the Project, through its 20% ownership in EMC-A. The ML grant triggered an option for SIL to convert their 20% interest in EMC-A into SCY common shares, which SIL may exercise in their sole discretion until mid-June 2017. If SIL does not exercise the option and elects to retain its 20% ownership interest in EMC-A, their free-carry period for development costs will end, and the partners will be required to fund development costs on a pro-rata basis to their ownership of EMC-A.

George Putnam, CEO of Scandium International Mining Corp. commented:

"This Mining Lease grant is a major milestone in the Company's development of the Nyngan Scandium Project. It signals the full support of state government, regulators, and the community for our endeavor, and is validation of the level and quality of work that has been committed to date. We couldn't be more pleased with this show of support and encouragement from NSW regulators to move forward and build Nyngan into the world's first primary scandium mine, and to do so in NSW, Australia"

QUALIFIED PERSONS AND NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT

Willem Duyvesteyn, MSc, AIME, CIM, a Director and CTO of the Company, is a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release on behalf of the Company.

ABOUT SCANDIUM INTERNATIONAL MINING CORP.

The Company is focused on developing the Nyngan Scandium Project into the world's first scandium-only producing mine. The Company owns an 80% interest in both the Nyngan Scandium Project, and the adjacent Honeybugle Scandium Property, in New South Wales, Australia, and is manager of both projects. Our joint venture partner, Scandium Investments LLC, owns the remaining 20% in both projects, along with an option to convert those direct project interests into SCY common shares, based on market value, by mid-June 2017.

The Company filed a NI 43-101 technical report in May 2016, titled "Feasibility Study — Nyngan Scandium Project". That feasibility study delivered an expanded scandium resource, a first reserve figure, and an estimated 33.1% IRR on the project, supported by extensive metallurgical test work and an independent, 10-year global marketing outlook for scandium demand.

One more rubber stamp mining license to go, financing should be right behind. Going to be an interesting couple of months I think! Nearly two million dollars/4 mil shares traded today. The rally continues and SCY is held tightly. I think it could easily go to .75 or so in the short term.

March 2, 2017 (Source) — Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSX: SCY) (“Scandium International” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Weston Aluminium Pty Ltd (“Weston”) of Chatswood, NSW, Australia. The MOU defines a cooperative commercial alliance (“Alliance”) to jointly develop the capability to manufacture aluminum-scandium master alloy (“Master Alloy”). The intended outcome of this Alliance will be to develop the capability to offer Nyngan Project aluminum alloy customers scandium in form of Al-Sc Master Alloy, should customers prefer that product form.

HIGHLIGHTS:

MOU outlines terms of a commercial alliance with Weston Aluminum,
Represents key steps towards Master Alloy manufacturing agreement,
Allows SCY to quickly apply know-how alongside operating aluminum processor,
Supports a product offer more suitable to many downstream customers, thereby expanding the potential customer base, and
Allows SCY to bring added value to significant potential scandium markets.

The MOU outlines steps to jointly establish the manufacturing parameters, metallurgical processes, and capital requirements to convert Nyngan Project scandium product into Master Alloy, on Weston’s existing production site in NSW. The MOU does not include a binding contract with commercial terms at this stage, although the intent is to pursue the necessary technical elements to arrive at a commercial contract for conversion of scandium oxide to Master Alloy, and to do so prior to first mine production from the Nyngan Project.

Discussion:

SCY has been developing an internal understanding and capability to convert scandium oxide to Master Alloy for some time. In 2014, the Company announced it applied for a US Patent on Master Alloy production, which is still in the application phase. That Patent Application addressed scandium Master Alloys with both aluminum-base and magnesium-base metals. The Company has investigated scandium Master Alloy manufacturing processes previously with the CSIRO, in Australia, and Kingston Process Metallurgy (KPM) in Ontario, Canada. Further, the technical team in SCY has previous relevant experience in this metallurgical area.

Weston Aluminium is a privately-owned, established secondary aluminum and industrial services company with its production facilities located near Kurri Kurri in, NSW, approximately 50km from Newcastle and 400km from the Nyngan Project. Using an environmentally attractive ‘non-salt’ processing technology from Asahi Seiren in Japan as its core technology, Weston has further developed its application to process all forms of aluminum bearing dross and by-products from the aluminum industry, and manufacturing Aluminum Deoxidant for steel making for BlueScope Steel at Port Kembla NSW and Arrium at Whyalla SA. Weston recycles industrial aluminum scrap, and dross, principally from the Tomago Aluminum Smelter located north of Newcastle, which is an independent joint venture between Rio Tinto Alcan, CSR and Hydro Aluminum. Weston today recycles 20,000 tonnes of aluminum materials annually, and has established capability in recovering valuable metals from metallurgical process dross materials, resulting in zero land fill.

John Kaiser iterview discussing the scandium boom he sees just ahead and Scandium Internationl's important place in that market:

http://investingnews.com/daily/resource-investing/critical-metals-investing/scandium-investing/john-kaiser-scandium-boom/

A snippet from the interview:

JK: The company I have been following, Scandium International (TSX:SCY), got a development consent in November and is now awaiting a mining lease in New South Wales, where these game-changing deposits have been found. The development consent is the primary obstacle you need to overcome. The mining lease usually does not take a lot of time. It’s a different department of the government. Once they have this, they will have to go out and raise $100 million in construction capital. It’ll take a year or so to build. So, within two years, we should start seeing the world’s first primary scaleable scandium supply. This will be a very big deal because scandium is the ideal marriage partner for aluminum and what all the end users have been waiting for for a very long time.

Listen to the whole interview - very favorable toward SCY.

For the record. Friday close 2-3-17 SCY 0.29 SCYYF 0.2359

SCY had been at 0.32 much of the day but dropped back at the close. SCYYF was up 10% on the day.

News: Scandium International Announces Receipt of a $629,000 Net Tax Refund Under the Australian Government's Research & Development Incentive Program

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/scandium-international-announces-receipt-629-131300180.html

November 16, 2016 / Scandium International Mining Corp. (SCY.TO) ("Scandium International" or the "Company") today announced that its Australian subsidiary company has received an A$629,000 (approximately US$474,000) Research & Development ("R&D") Tax Incentive refund, net of costs to prepare and file. This refund is related to costs incurred in respect of the tax year ended June 30, 2016.

The refund was paid under the Australian Government's R&D Tax Incentive Program, a program designed to encourage industry to engage in R&D activities that benefit Australia. Certain investments made in 2015 and 2016 to find innovative solutions to the Nyngan Project processing flowsheet, together with studies undertaken to define long-term environmental solutions for the project, met the criteria for a refundable tax credit under the R&D Tax Incentive Program.


For a small company at this stage of the game, this is a nice unexpected boost to their bottom line. 2 great news releases in the last week.

Great news! They got the "Ministerial Development Consent for it's Nyngan Scandium Project, in New South Wales Australia, as awarded by the NSW Minister of Planning, in Sydney, Australia."

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=126456995


"This Development Consent represents an approval to develop the Nyngan Scandium Project and is based on an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) which was submitted in support of mine development by the Company in May 2016. The Development Consent follows an in-depth review of the EIS, the project plan, community impact studies, public EIS exhibition and commentary, and economic viability, and involved more than 12 specialized governmental agencies and groups."

George Putnam, CEO of Scandium International Mining Corp. commented:

"Receipt of this Development Consent from the NSW government represents a significant milestone for our Nyngan Scandium Project. This key governmental approval was achieved in a short 6 month timeframe, and speaks well of the project, the team that assembled the submission, and the many local community and governmental regulatory interests who inspected, reviewed, and supported this mine development.

This critical gating approval feeds directly into the process for granting of a mining lease, which is the remaining significant governmental clearance we need to begin mine and plant construction next year. We remain on our target timetable to have all final State approvals for mine development by year end 2016."

It is a dead period that will likely end within 6-9 months (or perhaps sooner but I always add to timelines in order to be conservative). Everything moves slowly in the mining world but if SCY is still languishing without news in 6 months I will be rebuying the shares I sold earlier this summer, because its price will probably be lower because without news a news-driven company has nowhere to go. I knew it would be boring so I took profits and bought MXSG which is just entering an exciting development stage, just finishing construction and nearing a gold pour. I only made that decision because I have played the junior game dozens of times and that experience gives me confidence in what I am doing. I also have enough SCY that if they are financed tomorrow I will cheer instead of cry.

Trading in juniors can be risky too, often people sell and are forced to rebuy higher. Never short a junior or mining stock unless they are not drilling and are obviously garbage or you might be paying back a negative 5 bagger. The best advice for this I know is to keep a strong core 75-95% and trade the remainder. But when you are buying and selling be careful to trade the extremes. Juniors are volatile, so take advantage of it. If the stock goes down to 10 cents on good news, buy. If it trends up in a straight or near straight line for a uncomfortable long period (weeks high 14 rsi, etc) then sell -- you can often get free shares in a week or two when it cools down.

SCY has already told us what is coming:
• Timetable and milestones to production 2.
– Mining Lease Application on file now, ML anticipated in Q4 2016,
– Seeking project funding with ML grant-also Q4 2016,
– Construction start date – Q1 2017.

2- subject to financing. The financing is key. So be careful as that timeline gets long in the tooth, you do not want to sell the day before they announce financing on average-good-excellent terms. The better the terms and volume of the raise, the larger the reaction. If they raise a small tranche for a few million at bad terms that would be a stopgap and a bad sign.

Ideally this will drift down until it is financed (darkest before the dawn) and once the last few ducks are in a row SCY should gradually increase during construction and then begin a boring, but profitable stage of production, expansion, and hopefully padding our pockets.

TM. I appreciate your candor, and sharing of your knowledge. Being one of the small holders, I see things through near term goggles. I have little experience in trading, and even less knowledge of mining development timelines. My big holdings are with Niocorp, and activities with that firm appear to be ramping up quickly. Announcements come regularly, and knowledgeable discussions within the group indicate appear to support a very near term jump in SP, followed by steady growth. These are holding that I am unwilling to risk tampering with. Your statement that this being a dead period for SCY gives me thoughts that I may have some time to do some speculation on my own. Possibly learning to read the ups and downs of this stock, and not just sit idly watching the pennies fluctuate, but benefit from this period by using what I have to reinvest in itself. Thanks for giving me some courage to act, and not just bitch.

In my opinion they have muted interest in PR for two reasons, the leadership of the company (minor), and the type of company it is/where it sits in its development timeline (major).

I actually think SCY does a good job of communicating relative to its peers. This is the part of the equation I think you are missing. Mining is a very risky business where the majority of several thousand junior explorers will fail at their goal of finding an economic mineral deposit. Then on top of that many of the "lottery winners" will still fail and dilute to oblivion or go bankrupt because, despite winning the lottery, they are still far from mining and have many hoops to jump through. On average, from the first drill bit breaking the earth all the way to the first product, will now take a normal company 10-20 years to begin mining. With this in mind a 3 month gap with no visible PR is completely expected, especially during this period. The 2 things that will boost SP at the moment is an off-take and financing - both are negotiated privately until complete, and then announced. Work doesn't stop because the PRs do. On my other big holding, Mexus, there was ongoing joint venture discussions for several YEARS yet nothing came of them...until they actually signed them. To an outsider it looked like years of nothing followed by a sudden something, but the reality on the ground was completely different. Shareholders were irate at the lack of news, demanded updates, and so during that lull the company released really wussy news like "we are in discussions with two mining companies..." or w/e I personally would rather hear nothing than read a 0 calorie PR.

So when people are wondering about more information and updates they unrealistically demand that a company like SCY (that is further into this process than any other company on earth and over a decade ahead of schedule) to "hurry up" or share information they don't have, or worse- pump the stock with meaningless PRs. Mining is not a "hurry up" industry and Putnam is not a pumper nor does SCY have the resources for good PR at this early stage of development when conserving cash and raising money is of absolute paramount importance. This is just one of the dead periods in a natural mine development life cycle. Some speculators trade in and out if they know there won't be drilling and development PRs for a while. "Reassuring investors" is very low on the priority list at the moment and is arguably a waste of time and money since it would only affect the small holders and what many would call "weak hands". The big shareholders are aware this is a very unique mining play with long term implications. Anyone not looking 5-10 years in the future is very myopic in my opinion. In the next 5 years there is going to lots of SCY news and more exciting trading as it gets into more lucrative stages of its development.

These patterns are very common:

I feel like every mining stock should come with the disclaimer "This is going to take 20 years. It is a long road but we will try and do it in 5-10. If we succeed without diluting you to an extreme level you will probably make a lot of money and if we don't your money will join the ranks of the undead juniors."

TM. Thanks for responding, but your reposting of the July 6 announcement is what I am referring to. I guess I consider myself a long. I've held stock with SCY for 2+ years, and have followed their activities as well as I can with my limited knowledge of mining development processes. But you did validate my query. July 6 is over three months back, and though it is good to know the background of the new appointee, and certainly gives the impression we are in good hands, we are still getting very little information on progress since the release of the FS. Why would you say that they have little interest in PR? Isn't that an element of reassuring investors?

TMLonggun TMLonggun 8 years ago
Not sure who are speaking to but in regards to your and Kaseymoe's questions-- SCY is boring because it is in a boring stage of its (and any mine's) development. They also have no interest in PR or pumping scandium.

That may not be a satisfying answer but it is the truth. All of the previous milestones have been well telegraphed and no one cared until the moment they were complete and even then the action was relatively muted. So in the future you will see some more appointments of production, development, and operations personnel like this:

July 6, 2016 / Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSX: SCY) ("Scandium International" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Nigel J. Ricketts to the Nyngan Project team as Vice President, Project and Market Development. Dr. Ricketts is a metallurgist with a 30-year career in mine project, engineering, flow sheet design, and advanced research in metallurgy and alloy development. His career spans numerous specialty, base, and precious metals projects, including projects and processes targeting magnesium, aluminum, gold, copper, lateritic nickel, palladium & PGM's, lead-zinc, and scandium.

Most recently Dr. Ricketts and partners formed Altrius Engineering Services (AES, Brisbane, QLD. Australia), where he did extensive flow sheet design work on the Nyngan Project, both at preliminary economic assessment (PEA) stage and again at definitive feasibility study (DFS) stage. In addition, Nigel designed and managed numerous scandium test work programs that defined and refined the current project flow sheet for the Nyngan project.

Nigel's previous roles in project engineering with AMEC Minproc Ltd., AMEC Mining & Metals, Worley Parsons, and Chesser Resources in complex mineral recovery businesses are all highly relevant to the detailed design/construction/commissioning work about to start at Nyngan. Nigel will support any further flow sheet optimization work, early-works project engineering, and manage major vendors on long lead project items.

Dr. Ricketts also worked for CSIRO, the Australian government-supported technical research center in Melbourne, as a principal research scientist, for 15 years. His principal specialties were magnesium alloys and casting techniques. Dr. Ricketts is the author and holder of 5 metallurgical patents in alloy and flow sheet design. This technical metallurgy background will assist Nigel in his other role in SCY, which is his significant involvement in global marketing efforts for scandium oxide product.

Dr. Ricketts received a metallurgy degree (B App Sc) from South Australian Institute of Technology in 1985, followed by a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Monash University in Melbourne in 1993. Nigel will report to John D. Thompson in Australia, who continues in his role as General Manager, Australia, for SCY.

George Putnam, CEO of Scandium International Mining Corp. commented:

"I am very pleased to welcome Nigel Ricketts to the SCY team. Nigel has been doing great work for us in technical, business and marketing areas for two years now, with help from his partners at AES. He has excellent local experience, highly relevant to our scandium project, and we are very fortunate to have him now on staff, fully involved with us, to construct the Nyngan Scandium project and assist us to further develop this business."


Followed by permit and mining license information being completed and lined up. No one outside our circle will care about this either. It is probable they will release another offtake agreement, which would be great news but the market still probably won't care. Mining is a game of waiting wherein you wait for different periods to wait. We are in one of the most boring of those periods, the post-discovery blues. This has a small number of news items and often drilling and discovery is halted. So what if you got one of the best resources ever found on earth that is capable of transforming several industries! What percentage of humans on the planet are aware of it and capable of acting on it? A tiny fraction of a fraction of one percent. Scandium has been well known in certain communities for decades and nothing has ever came of it. So people take the default skeptical stance, the show me the money attitude. This isn't wrong, just a tad myopic. Customers want a stable supply to commit but in order to have a stable supply someone must build it...with such commitments from investors, suppliers, or banks. This is what SCY is doing and why the next major milestone will be project financing. They have done all the necessary drilling and studies and have enough capable, connected management that they will be financed and most likely on good-excellent terms given the attractive economics of their studies. This has a near 100% chance of happening in my opinion. Yet still no one will really care until it happens, but when it does then SCY will rise and reach a new tier of share price and begin the next stage of waiting for construction to begin, followed by waiting for it to finish. A financed SCY with a complete plant is worth multiples of current price and a profitable producing SCY worth more still.

More competition is coming, which will only develop the market and serve to outline how unique the Australian high grade laterite ores truly are. Scandium interest is up and SCY is plodding along, still on track to be the world's first primary scandium mine...eventually. Five to ten years is not a long time; profits often go to the patient and wise.

Take care.

Has anyone heard any news at all in the last several months? Nothing on the SI website give any indication of progress, or pending announcements. I'm a long time regular viewer, and periodic poster on the Niocorp board, and you are always up to date on their activities. Without any news from SI I am starting to have my doubts.
