Maybe this is why MS didn't sign any scandium off-take agreements yet - in spite of being in discussions with a dozen or more interested parties...
So it could very well be that the DoD will take a 103 tonne stake in our scandium. Wouldn't that be "GREAT"!

Talk about putting NioCorp in the Lime-Light - and on every front page in the USA!
