CLQ's Scandium is now a very big Deal!, page-17

In July, Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack and Resources Minister Matt Canavan inspected the site of Clean TeQ’s Sunrise project at Fifield, near Parkes. A nickel laterite resource, the mine will primarily produce nickel and cobalt sulphates for use in electric vehicle batteries, but will also produce scandium.

Minister Canavan is working with the US Department of the Interior on securing scandium supplies, after the metal was named on a list of strategic minerals in the intergovernmental agreement which came out of the meeting between Prime Minister Turnbull and President Trump in February this year.

“The co-operation of strategic partners can open new worlds of technological development using materials that are lighter, more versatile, or more conducive to open up new manufacturing opportunities,” the White House Press Office said in a February release to mark the visit.
