of course it's big news, There has not been a market for scandium before, PGM aim to produce 20 tons, then scaled up to 42ton per year.
Thats no good if there is no one to sell it to, CLQ, scandium international Niocorp are working hard to get the market up and going. this latest news is a huge step forward in getting the market started! who else has off-takes for 12 tons a year atm???
Lets hope CLQ are successful in opening up a massive market for it in China and then we are off to the races IMO.
I personally think they will succeed, if PGM or any other company can get stronger easier to work with alloys with minimal scandium it will take off like wild fire.
