It's a phrase that keeps bobbing-up in relation to Quicksilver - the unique nature of the deposit:

The addition of REE and scandium mineralisation is an exciting development for the Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt Project and further emphasises the unique nature of the deposit.

The occurrence of high-grade scandium at Quicksilver just further emphasises the unique nature of the deposit.


Certainly something out of the ordinary here ...but only to rejoice over as shareholders!

Firstly today, continuing confirmation of significant clay hosted oxide REE mineralisation (“REO”) potential at Quicksilver - best results include: QAC0010: 4m @ 3,295 ppm TREO (including 1m @ 7,915ppm TREO) and QRC0039: 10m @ 2,548ppm (including 1m @ 3,949ppm).

(These following on from 1m @ 1.06% TREO from 57m and 1m @ 0.67% TREO from 8m reported 18 January 2023.)

So the promise continues.

(Not to overlook this: The oxide REE mineralisation (“secondary”; “supergene”) is an indication of an unknown nearby primary source of REE mineralisation at depth.)


Secondly, the report of significant Scandium assays including best high-grade results of QRC0111: 1m @ 165 ppm Sc from 21m and QRC0056: 2m @ 102 ppm Sc from 8m.

This actually circles back to the very earliest days of the Quicksilver discovery I find, when it was noted by then MD, geo Tim Putt, (Wide Nickel, Cobalt & Scandium Intercepts at Quicksilver, 30 August 2017):

Scandium mineralisation at the Garard prospect has been intersected over more than 1,500 metres of strike and a breadth of over 400 metres, with significant mineralisation intersected over widths varying between six and sixty nine metres.Exploration Target: 30-60 Million Tonnes @ 45-75 gpt Scandium.


All set against the backdrop of continuing Stage 3 Metallurgical diamond drilling - with its primary purpose to further de-risk the proposed multi-product flowsheet (Ni, Co, Fe, Cr and industrial minerals).


Our anomalous 'jewel box' of a deposit just keeps delivering:

The REE and scandium mineralisation is in addition to the defined nickel and cobalt Resource and could be potential by-products.


Any other by-product suggestions? Anyone?
