Automakers are succesfully selling mild & PHEV cars, and oil/gas is not yet depleted to the level that we are desparate. So a catalist with REE Scandium?? It is rare on earth, and moreover there is little or no practical application for the metal until today. Why search for any resources when there is no application? In other words we do not know much about Sc resources compard to other metals. On the other hand, Sc is not so rare in the rest of the solar system. Just for fun we analysed a meteorite my youngest son bought (and to check whether it is not a fake) and to our surprise it contained clearly measureable amount of Sc while the Co we were expecting in it was not found. Can mail you the report if you like. Keep up the good work!
Regards, Henk.

Scandium could potentially be produced in large quantities from a world class deposit in Australia, fully owned by EMC Metals of Vancouver, B.C. Canada. On EMC’s website (www.emcmetals.com) you can find a NI43-101 Technical report on its Nyngan Scandium Project. You might find this interesting.

Very solid article with wonderful details. Instead of being a dampener, it opens all kinds of ideas for economic mining opportunities.

Sincerely,

Allan Branch
