(the "Company" or "EMC") (TSX: EMC) is pleased to announce that it has received an independent laboratory test work report, titled, "Production of Sc-Al Alloys" (the "Report"), outlining the results of a series of laboratory-scale tests investigating the production of scandium-aluminum ("Sc-Al") alloys directly from aluminum oxide and scandium oxide feed materials. The Report, commissioned by EMC, was independently prepared by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (the "CSIRO"), Australia's national science agency, and is the first of several programs EMC intends to complete in scandium product development for its Mine-to-Market approach.\nHighlights of this Report by the CSIRO, and recommendations for additional work programs are as follows:\n\n\n >\n\n\nDiscussion of Report Results:\n\nEMC engaged the CSIRO in August 2010 to conduct a literature review and experimental program to investigate the production of Sc-Al master alloys. The research consisted of:\n\n\n >\n\n\nThe results of the CSIRO work confirmed earlier experimental work done and concluded there were no findings that suggested Sc-Al alloys could not be produced through chemical, electrolytic, and/or thermal means. The progression of the experimental work was somewhat hampered by the size of ...
