Here's a March 2016 article in Proactive Investors on NioCorp's Elk City Nebraska project:

http://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/123149/niocorp-plans-the-usas-biggest-niobium-and-scandium-mine-123149.html

Nothing new to those who follow Nb.

The very small town of Elk City is about 100 miles northwest of Kansas City Missouri - my home.

The article doesn't mention the relative importance of niobium to scandium for the project but from the NioCorp website company estimates ... "anticipated production of 7,490 tonnes per annum (tpa) of Ferroniobium, 97 tpa of Scandium Trioxide, and 23,960 tpa of Titanium Dioxide over its 32-year operating life. Thus very small contribution from the scandium.

Is company on firm ground when saying repeatedly that they'll be the largest Scandium producer in the world?
