Good to know, my point was and still is that in certain tailings there are many "rare minerals" each of which has an additional benefits in a vast variety of uses. I mentioned scandium for the simple reason that I did not know it's many uses before. In the past I also mentioned Tantalum to TJ (with the US having no commercial deposits) but this was a direct mining venture within a stable country in Africa. In my proposal I am extracting several rare metals from mining tailings and scandium is one of them. I was simply surprised of the high market price on one hand and the many uses on the other hand. The key is that there are so many advantages if alloyed with certain basic metals used in aerospace and other day to day uses and very few on this tread even discuss them and their pricings. The rare metals are actively traded and have substantial pricing swings and most participants on SI are glued to gold and platinum as medium of exchange at a time that many rare metals are withstanding corrosion same as gold as an example, and are not counted as a store of value.
