Metallica Minerals Limited , a listed Australian company, visit our company about SCONI project  in Oct 2016.
Metallica has taken the prudent decision to implement a new Phased Development Strategy for the SCONI project.  
SCONI Phase 1: Approximately 200ktpa throughput plant producing 50-65tpa of Scandium (Sc) oxide only (no Ni-Co) processing high grade scandium resources from the Lucknow deposit utilising delivered third party acid (no acid plant).
SCONI Phase 2: 750ktpa (Full Scale) throughput brownfield expansion producing Nickel, Cobalt & Sc oxide products from Resources mined from Greenvale, Kokomo and Lucknow deposits with an on-site acid and power plant.
Recent scandium market research indicates that the new Phased Development Strategy will be more in line with the pace of developments expected from the scandium needs of end users in the early years of operation. Further, the phased approach more effectively adapts to the capital cost challenges of the Full Scale project, due mainly to the ongoing cost increases associated with developing new projects in Australia.
