I-RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / February 24, 2020 / Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSX:SCY) (“Scandium International” noma “Inkampani”) iyajabula ukumemezela ukuthi isiqede iminyaka emithathu, uhlelo lwezigaba ezintathu zokukhombisa amandla okwenza i-aluminium-scandium master alloy (Al-Sc2%), kusetshenziswa i-padium scandium pevolving reaction
Leli khono le-alloy eliyinhloko lizovumela iNkampani ukuthi inikeze umkhiqizo we-scandium ovela ku-Nyngan Scandium Project ngendlela esetshenziswa ngokuqondile abakhiqizi be-aluminium alloy emhlabeni jikelele, kungaba abakhiqizi abakhulu abadidiyelwe noma abathengi abancane be-alloy.
Inkampani ivume esidlangalaleni inhloso yokuhlinzeka ngomkhiqizo we-scandium osesimweni sakho kokubili i-oxide (i-scandia) ne-master alloy kusukela yaqeda ucwaningo oluqinisekile lokuthi kungenzeka yini nge-Nyngan Scandium Project ngo-2016. Imboni ye-aluminium incike kakhulu kubakhiqizi abazimele abangochwepheshe be-alloy ukwenza nokuhlinzeka ngemikhiqizo ye-alloying, okuhlanganisa amanani amancane angu-2% we-Al-Sc namuhla. Ukukhishwa kwe-scandium yemayini ye-Nyngan kuzoshintsha isikali se-Al-Sc2% master alloy ekhiqizwayo, emhlabeni jikelele, futhi Inkampani ingasebenzisa leyo nzuzo yesikali ukuze yehlise ngempumelelo izindleko zokukhiqiza i-scandium feedstock kukhasimende le-aluminium alloy. Le mpumelelo yohlelo locwaningo iphinde ibonise ikhono leNkampani lokuletha ngokuqondile ukuze kuphele ukusetshenziswa kwe-alloy amakhasimende umkhiqizo ngendlela engokwezifiso afisa ukuyisebenzisa, ngokusobala, kanye nenani elidingwa ngabathengi be-aluminium abakhulu.
Lolu hlelo lokusungula amandla omkhiqizo othuthukisiwe we-Nyngan seluqedwe ngezigaba ezintathu, phakathi neminyaka emithathu. Isigaba I ngo-2017 sabonisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukukhiqiza i-master alloy ehlangabezana nemfuneko yezezimboni engu-2% ye-scadium, esikalini selabhorethri. Isigaba II ngo-2018 sagcina lelo zinga lomkhiqizo wekhwalithi yemboni, esikalini sebhentshi (4kg/test). Isigaba III ngo-2019 sabonisa amandla okugcina izinga lomkhiqizo webanga elingu-2%, ukwenza kanjalo ngokutholwa okudlule amazinga ebesikuhlosile, kanye nokuhlanganisa lezi zimpumelelo kanye ne-kinetics esheshayo ebalulekile emalini ephansi nezindleko zokuguqula.
Isigaba esilandelayo kulolu hlelo sizoba ukucabangela isitshalo esikhulu sokubonisa ukuguqulwa kwe-oxide ibe yingcweti yealloy. Lokhu kuzovumela Inkampani ukuthi ithuthukise ifomu lomkhiqizo, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, ukuhlangabezana nesidingo semikhiqizo emikhulu evumelana nezinhlelo zokuhlola ezentengiso. Ubukhulu bemboni yokubonisa buyaphenywa, kodwa buzovumelana nezimo ekusebenzeni nasekuphumeni, futhi kuzovumela ubudlelwano obuqondile kakhulu bekhasimende/abahlinzeki namakhasimende omkhiqizo we-scandium emhlabeni jikelele.
"Lo mphumela wokuhlola ubonisa ukuthi Inkampani ingakwazi ukwenza umkhiqizo ofanele we-scandium, ngendlela amakhasimende ethu ayinhloko afuna ngayo. Lokhu kusivumela ukuthi sigcine ubudlelwano obubaluleke kakhulu bamakhasimende, nokuhlala sisabela ezidingweni zamakhasimende. Okubaluleke kakhulu, leli khono lizokwenza iScandium International ikwazi ukugcina izindleko zomkhiqizo wethu we-scandium feedstock ziphansi ngangokunokwenzeka, futhi futhi ngaphansi kolawulo lwethu kubalulekile ukuze sibone la makhono afanele emakethe."
Inkampani igxile ekuthuthukiseni i-Nyngan Scandium Project, ese-NSW, e-Australia, ibe imayini yokuqala emhlabeni ekhiqiza i-scandium kuphela. Iphrojekthi ephethwe yinkampani yethu engaphansi kwe-Australia engu-100%, i-EMC Metals Australia Pty Limited, ithole zonke izigunyazo ezibalulekile, okuhlanganisa nokuqashiswa kwezimayini, okudingekayo ukuze kuqhutshekwe nokwakhiwa kwephrojekthi.
Inkampani yafaka umbiko wezobuchwepheshe we-NI 43-101 ngoMeyi 2016, onesihloko esithi “Feasibility Study – Nyngan Scandium Project”. Lolo cwaningo lokuthi kungenzeka lunikeze insiza ye-scandium eyandisiwe, isibalo sokuqala esigciniwe, kanye ne-IRR elinganiselwa ku-33.1% kuphrojekthi, okusekelwa umsebenzi obanzi wokuhlola i-metallurgical kanye nokuzimela, iminyaka eyi-10 yokumaketha emhlabeni jikelele kwesidingo se-scandium.
U-Willem Duyvesteyn, MSc, AIME, CIM, Umqondisi kanye ne-CTO yeNkampani, ungumuntu oqeqeshiwe ngezinjongo ze-NI 43-101 futhi ubuyekeze futhi wagunyaza okuqukethwe kobuchwepheshe kwalokhu kukhishwa kwabezindaba egameni leNkampani.
Lokhu kukhululwa kwabezindaba kuqukethe izitatimende ezibheke phambili mayelana neNkampani kanye nebhizinisi layo. Izitatimende ezibheke phambili ziyizitatimende ezingewona amaqiniso omlando futhi ahlanganisa, kodwa azikhawulelwe ezitatimendeni eziphathelene nanoma iyiphi intuthuko yesikhathi esizayo yephrojekthi. Izitatimende ezibheke phambili kulokhu kukhululwa kwabezindaba zingaphansi kwezingozi ezihlukahlukene, ukungaqiniseki nezinye izici ezingabangela imiphumela yangempela yeNkampani noma izimpumelelo zihluke kakhulu kulezo ezivezwe noma ezishiwo ngezitatimende ezibheke phambili. Lezi zingozi, ukungaqiniseki nezinye izici zihlanganisa, ngaphandle komkhawulo: izingozi ezihlobene nokungaqiniseki ngesidingo se-scandium, ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi imiphumela yomsebenzi wokuhlola ngeke ifeze okulindelekile, noma ingaqapheli ukusetshenziswa kwemakethe okucatshangelwayo namandla emithombo ye-scandium engase ithuthukiswe ukudayiswa yiNkampani. Izitatimende ezibheke phambili zisekelwe ezinkolelweni, emibonweni nasekulindelweni ngabaphathi beNkampani ngesikhathi benza, futhi ngaphandle kwalokho okudingwa yimithetho yezibambiso esebenzayo, Inkampani ayithathi noma yisiphi isibopho sokubuyekeza izitatimende zayo zokubheka phambili uma lezo zinkolelo, imibono noma okulindelekile, noma ezinye izimo, kufanele zishintshe.
