"But the high price of scandium has so far restricted widespread use of such alloys in the Western world. Uses have been primarily in sports equipment like baseball and softball bats, bicycle frames, lacrosse sticks, and even in handgun frames and cylinders! With the current prices, an addition of typically 0.2 weight % Sc to an aluminum alloy will quadruple the price. However, should the price fall by 90% or more, scandium will be in immediate demand for large-scale production of several alloy types. Of course, such a development is dependent on stable, long-term supplies. I am convinced that scandium's heyday is ahead of us." (Chemical and Engineering News) (From Blairman's post).

Scandium would be an excellent revenue source for Niocorp at just $500kg...as was pointed out in a previous post.....And don't forget the Titanium!...This is potentially another large revenue source for Niocorp that has received little attention.
