Scandium results indicate that the MA250 and LF300 methods are compatible. It is interesting to note the presence of tellurium and that tellurium and scandium appear to correlate. The platinum and palladium values are also of interest.
The scandium results are very encouraging and a more detailed prospecting, mapping and sampling program will be conducted in 2022. Petrographic studies will be conducted in order to determine the mineralogy. The field-identified hornblendite may in fact be composed of pyroxenes.
The samples were analyzed at the ActLabs laboratory in
There are elevated scandium concentrations in this unit. The scandium probably occurs in the ilmenite but may also be present in the amphibole. The titanium (TiO2) is due to the presence of ilmenite which alters to sphene with trace rutile. Modal estimates of ilmenite range from 5 to 8 percent. Magnetite is also present.
It is also imperative that the proper analytical method and digestion be conducted to determine the trace element content of resistates such as ilmenite and magnetite. Additional sampling of outcrops on the property for further exploration of scandium is ongoing. Similar scandium concentrations also occur in the mafic unit associated with the Stratmat deposit.
Scandium is now listed as a rare metal by both
