Company Overview

Scandium International Mining Corp. is a mineral development company focused on advancing scandium projects, primarily for use in aluminum-scandium alloys and emerging clean energy and aerospace applications. The company operates within the mining and critical minerals industry, with a strategic emphasis on scandium, a metal valued for its ability to enhance strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability when alloyed with aluminum.

The company’s core asset is the Nyngan Scandium Project, which is widely cited as one of the most advanced scandium development projects globally. Scandium International Mining Corp. does not currently generate operating revenue, as it remains in the development and feasibility stage. Its strategy centers on positioning itself as a long-term supplier to industrial, aerospace, and energy-related customers seeking lightweight and high-performance materials. The company was originally founded as EMC Metals Corp. and later rebranded to reflect its exclusive focus on scandium development.

Business Operations

Business operations are centered on mineral exploration, project development, and technical evaluation rather than active production. The company’s principal business segment is scandium mineral development, with activities including feasibility studies, metallurgical testing, permitting, and engagement with potential strategic partners and end users. Revenue generation is prospective and contingent on project financing, construction, and eventual production.

The Nyngan Scandium Project in New South Wales, Australia, is the company’s flagship asset and primary operational focus. Scandium International Mining Corp. controls the mining rights and associated development assets for this project. The company does not currently operate producing mines, nor does it report material joint ventures in production; however, it has historically engaged in technical collaborations and offtake discussions with industrial and alloy manufacturers. Data on binding long-term offtake agreements is inconclusive based on available public sources.

Strategic Position & Investments

Strategically, Scandium International Mining Corp. aims to secure a first-mover advantage in the global scandium supply chain by advancing one of the few deposits with completed feasibility-level studies. Growth initiatives focus on project optimization, securing strategic investors, and aligning with downstream users in aerospace, automotive, solid oxide fuel cells, and defense sectors that require reliable scandium supply.

The company’s investment profile is highly concentrated, with capital allocated almost entirely toward the advancement of the Nyngan Scandium Project. There is no evidence of material acquisitions or a diversified portfolio of operating subsidiaries. Emerging technology exposure is indirect, stemming from scandium’s application in lightweight alloys, hydrogen-related technologies, and advanced energy systems. Broader diversification beyond scandium has not been substantiated by public filings.

Geographic Footprint

Scandium International Mining Corp. is headquartered in North America, with corporate management and investor relations functions based in Canada. Its operational footprint is primarily international, centered in Australia, where the Nyngan project is located and permitted under local mining regulations.

Beyond Australia, the company’s geographic influence is strategic rather than operational, involving engagement with potential customers and partners in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. These regions represent target markets for scandium consumption rather than locations of physical assets or mining operations.

Leadership & Governance

The company is led by executives with experience in mining development, capital markets, and critical materials strategy. Governance is overseen by a board of directors responsible for capital allocation, project advancement, and shareholder oversight. Leadership communications emphasize disciplined development, technical validation, and alignment with long-term industrial demand rather than short-term production growth.

Key executives include:

• Greg Jones – President and Chief Executive Officer
• David Kanfield – Chairman of the Board
• John Thompson – Chief Financial Officer
• Michael Ledbetter – Director

The leadership philosophy centers on advancing a single high-quality asset through methodical development while maintaining flexibility to partner with larger industrial or mining entities as market conditions evolve.
