#108 RE: TMLonggun #107

I brought that question up on the nio board and was met with the usual "it's all good in the hood" stuff. I got this answer from one guy tho. "They are looking at the best ways to extract scandium so I dont think we are jumping the gun on that. They removed HCl from the process which in turn gave higher scandium recovery rates as specified in the updated resource report.

"The potential Scandium recovery is increased from 40% to 50% in the base flowsheet to 70% to 90% in the SAAB flowsheet, as Sc values more readily dissolve in the SAAB leaching step." see page 97 of the NI 43-101 Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate – Elk Creek Niobium Project, by SRK."

I'm not very good with the technical stuff so if could have a look at the report on sader. You might be able to shed some light on what they have there.

I think scandium will not be a major part of that mine. I think they will focus more on the niobium.
Any help with understanding what they have here would be a huge help.

Thanks
