• Updated resource estimate to follow 

 

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC – TheNewswire - November 21, 2024 – Scandium Canada Ltd. (the “Company” or "Scandium Canada") (TSX VENTURE: SCD; OTCQB: SCDCF) is pleased to report the assay results from the Crater Lake Summer 2024 drilling program on the TG scandium-rare earth mineralized zone. Assay results continue to return substantial intersection widths of scandium-bearing olivine rich ferrosyenite. With all of the results in, Scandium Canada now plans to undertake an updated 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate to reflect the extension to the South of the already known deposit.

“We are very pleased to have been able to confirm the lateral continuity of the TG north Lobe deposit for an additional 250m going South.  It confirms that the North and South Lobes consist of a single and continuous unit” said Guy Bourassa, Chief Executive Officer. “Importantly, the TG Zone is still open in all directions and at depth.”

 

DRILLING RESULTS

 

All analytical results from the 866 samples from the seven holes of the summer drilling program for a total of 1,185m have been received (Tables 1 and 2, Figure 1). All drillholes have intersected the target scandium bearing ferrosyenite host rock. The recent drilling indicates that the southern portion of the TG scandium Zone hosts a higher proportion of the higher-grade pyroxene-rich ferrosyenite. This new pyroxene-rich ferrosyenite mineralization is open to the southwest and at depth. Individual drill assay grades of up to 526g/t Sc2O3 were returned from this new system.

QA-QC Protocol

 

Strict QA/QC protocols have been implemented for the Crater Lake Project, including the insertion of certified reference materials (standards), duplicates and blanks at regular intervals throughout the sequence of samples. A total of 866 drill core samples, including 65 QA-QC samples composed of OREAS verified standards and blanks, were sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd. All sample preparation and analytical work was carried out at their facilities in Ancaster, Ontario. Several analytical techniques were used to characterize the samples, which are combined at Actlabs into the analytical package “8-REE”. This package includes whole-rock and trace element analytic techniques. Whole Rock analyses are done via a lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion inductively coupled plasma (ICP) finish. Trace elements are also analyzed by fusion ICP/MS.
