Metallurgical Process:
Earlier testwork had shown that geologic materials derived from the HAT project contained scandium at elevated levels above that normally associated with crustal rocks, please see news release dated October 01, 2021. This testwork also showed scandium reported to the flotation tailings product, as per news release from August 09, 2022. Recent testwork has focused on the treatment of flotation tailings for the recovery of scandium into an intermediate product for further processing and ultimate scandium recovery.
