The company closed an oversubscribed public offering on March 17, 2026, for gross proceeds of $17,250,046, upsized from an initial target of $10 million. On March 2, 2026, the company secured a non-dilutive federal grant of $6,915,478 under Natural Resources Canada's Global Partnerships Initiative.
According to the company, the 2026 work program is fully funded from existing resources. Proceeds and grant funds are allocated against defined catalysts.
The alloy qualification campaign is underway with industrial partners for the company and its Scandium+ division’s two proprietary aluminum-scandium alloys, supplied as powders for L-PBF 3D printing and wires for welding, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), and advanced manufacturing applications. Milestones will be communicated on a rolling basis through 2026 as each qualification stage is cleared.
Led by Norda Stelo, an independent PFS covering the TG zone of the Crater Lake project is in progress. Engineering contracts have been awarded, work is advancing, and completion is targeted for the end of summer 2026. The study integrates mineral resource, mine plan, processing, capital and operating cost parameters.
A drilling campaign on the Crater Lake property is scheduled for the 2026 field season. Its primary objective is to recover a representative sample of the TG zone to support metallurgical testwork scheduled for the first half of 2027.
Guy Bourassa, Chief Executive Officer of Scandium Canada, stated that with $15 million in cash and $6.9 million in government grant funding, the company is entering 2026 with every dollar allocated against a defined catalyst: alloy qualification, the PFS, and drilling at Crater Lake.
