Methods of\nproducing the same and uses thereof”.\n \n\n\n\n In addition to advancing its Crater Lake scandium and\nrare earth project, Scandium Canada has developed two aluminum\nscandium (Al-Sc) alloys and their powders, specifically for additive\nmanufacturing (3D printing) applications, in collaboration with\nMcMaster University, Ontario, Canada. This has resulted in a\nsignificant body of intellectual property developed over the last 3\nyears.\n \n\n\n\n Guy Bourassa, CEO: “We are very excited about this\nnew step in the development of the Company. It confirms our objective\nto be recognized as a leader in the scandium markets, not only by\ndeveloping the largest hard rock primary scandium project in the world\nbut also by developing applications for scandium. Scandium is the\nmetal of the future, and we are deeply engaged in its development and\nmarket growth. Over the next few months, Scandium Canada will explore\noptions with commercial and research partners in Canada and abroad to\nmonetize its 100% owned intellectual property to generate revenues and\nofftake agreements separate from its mining activities.”\n \n\n\n\n Luc Duchesne, PhD. Chief Science Officer added, “The\ncommercial emergence of aluminum powders in 3D printing represents a\nsignificant advancement in additive manufacturing technology. With the\nfiling of patents such as the one by Scandium Canada Ltd., the\npotential for using aluminum alloy powders for 3D printing\napplications using aluminum scandium alloys has increased. This\ndevelopment creates new possibilities for manufacturing lightweight,\nhigh-strength components, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and\nmaritime industrie...
