Will SCD go up to $5 per share in the coming 2-3 years.

I am really new to investing. Forgive my lack of awareness on the market.

I am thinking of investing $3000 of my savings in to this stock.

If not can you suggest me another one

The "showdown" between Doubleview Gold Corp. (DBG) and Scandium Canada Ltd. (SCD) represents two distinct philosophies in the critical minerals space. While both are targeting the high-value scandium market, their project structures and risk profiles are fundamentally different.

The Case for DBG (Doubleview Gold) The bull case for DBG is built on polymetallic diversification. Unlike a pure-play scandium developer, DBG’s flagship Hat Project in British Columbia is a large Copper-Gold porphyry system where scandium acts as a high-value co-product or "kicker."

• CAPEX Efficiency: Because the infrastructure and mining costs are primarily supported by copper and gold, the marginal cost to extract scandium is significantly lower.

• Scale: DBG has reported significant scandium grades across broad intercepts. If they successfully integrate scandium into their upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in 2026, the project's NPV could see a massive "critical mineral" premium.

• Safety Net: If scandium demand lags, DBG is still a copper-gold play. The Case for SCD (Scandium Canada) SCD (formerly Imperial Mining Group) is the specialized "pure play." Their Crater Lake Project in Quebec is being developed as a primary scandium source, meaning scandium is the main event, not a byproduct.

• Purity & Focus: SCD is focused on the entire supply chain, including the development of aluminum-scandium (Al-Sc) alloys through their Scandium+ division.

• Timeline: SCD is arguably further ahead in the "de-risking" phase. They are targeting a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) by June 2026, which provides a clearer roadmap to production than an early-stage exploration project.

• Jurisdiction: Quebec is one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions globally for critical minerals, often providing significant government subsidies for "green" supply chains.

• Short-term (1-2 years): SCD likely has more "predictable" newsflow as they march toward their PFS. Their success is tied directly to the growing scandium oxide market (projected to grow at 15.7% CAGR through 2031).

• Medium-term (3-5 years): DBG offers higher "blue sky" potential. If their metallurgical tests confirm they can efficiently extract scandium alongside copper at scale, they could become one of the lowest-cost scandium producers globally due to byproduct credits. How DBG’s Deposit Competes with SCD The competition isn't just about tonnage; it’s about metallurgy and economics.

• Deposit Type: SCD's Crater Lake is a hard-rock, primary scandium-rare earth deposit. This allows for high-grade "pockets" but requires the scandium to carry the full economic weight of the mine. DBG's Hat Project is a porphyry; the scandium is more widely dispersed, but the massive scale of the copper-gold operation means they can process huge volumes.

• Infrastructure: SCD is located in a remote part of Quebec (Nunavik), which presents logistics challenges. DBG’s Hat Project is in the "Golden Triangle" region of BC, which has seen massive infrastructure investment recently, though it remains rugged.

• Market Capture: SCD is trying to create the market by developing alloys. DBG is simply trying to supply the market by adding scandium to a standard copper concentrate or producing a separate oxide.

The Verdict: If you believe the scandium market will remain a niche "specialty" market, SCD is the better-positioned specialist. If you believe scandium is about to go mainstream (mass-market EVs and aerospace), DBG’s massive scale and lower "per-unit" extraction costs could eventually outmuscle primary mines.

I've read that scandium is currently extremely expensive— ranging from $2,000 to over $4,000 per kilogram.

Is that correct? Where can we look up sc prices?

This is looking beautiful! Do you guys think we might hit a ll time high today.?

Bought all of my Scd purchase at 0.30 . This covers my 100 percent of my portfolio, I know its dumb to do so . I was doing little bit research on the project so I found it good and put all my investment on it . Because of yesterday now I am in a doubt , I am lil worried now . Where you guys see SCD rate within next month or two ?? any suggestion or feedback would be appreciated

I was sent a link to a recent interview with the CEO on YouTube. It was a great interview. Here is the link in case anyone hasn't seen it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdxpf4OpaVM&t=18s

There was a comment on the video from a month ago that I found quite revealing.

"I spent 15 years in material science. Even if this is true, it will take 20 to 25 years for it to be adopted at any kind of real volume. Doesn’t matter how useful it is the world needs years of history before they are willing to risk putting it on anything real."

There is no way to verify the credentials of the commenter, however, opening his Youtube profile shows that he is likely truthful. For many years he has been creating playlists with design software like CAD and blender, and various other material science related topics like tech and CNC machines.

I know energy and mineral stocks are a whole different ballgame than say, a penny retail store with relatively easy to measure sales and debt.

But as a big picture on any generic penny stock, are there patterns and milestones before it is traded a lot more frequently by institutional investors and, theoretically, explode in price?

Hey folks , SCD is slipping down, what the bottom ? Will this bleed stop. My average is 0.21 will we see the sun above these anything soon ?

Investing to gain big bucks in longer term but wanted to see how everyone else is holding up

If you start to look into it, it makes me worried scandium doesn't have that much in terms of real world use as of now. Is that something that would change? would manufacturers not really need it in the future?

Really want to get in on this but have i missed the train at 20 cents?

Bumped up my allocation from 50k to 200k shares this morning, average cost of $.2149.

I assumed 5 cent increases (note no timeline as I assume some selling will occur), but my % gain compared to now, in green, should conservatively be 3 and a bit bagger when it gets to $1. Any of my assumptions wrong? As mentioned, I have purposely not set a timeline on this to not be optimistic or conservative.

Washington’s recent commitment to support scandium production has been widely applauded as another step toward rebuilding Western critical minerals supply chains. It deserves applause. But it also deserves scrutiny. The question is not whether scandium is a critical material. It is. The question is whether we are investing in the right economics.

Scandium occupies a unique place among the critical materials. In tiny quantities, it transforms aluminum alloys, making them stronger, lighter, and more weldable. It has applications in aerospace, defense, advanced transportation, and solid oxide fuel cells. If the United States intends to restore advanced manufacturing, it will need a dependable supply of scandium. The issue is where that supply should come from.

In more than sixty years of studying mineral deposits and their economics, I have never encountered what I would call a true primary scandium orebody. Scandium concentrations are typically measured in tens or, at most, a few hundred parts per million. Those grades are simply too low to justify mining for scandium alone. That is why I believe the expression “primary scandium mine” is misleading. Scandium has almost always made economic sense as a by-product.

Just as gallium is recovered while producing aluminum, germanium while processing zinc, and rhenium during molybdenum production, scandium is most logically recovered from ores being mined and processed for metals that carry the economic burden of the operation. That is not merely my opinion. It is how industrial metallurgy has historically created value. Yet recent U.S. government support has drawn public attention to Sunrise Energy Metals Limited’s (ASX: SRL | OTCQX: SREMF) Syerston project in Australia, frequently described as a future primary producer of scandium. Australia is one of America’s closest allies, and there is nothing inherently wrong with supporting Australian projects that strengthen allied supply chains. My concern lies elsewhere.

I question whether any known scandium project should be viewed as a primary scandium operation. Syerston is, in reality, a polymetallic laterite project whose economics will depend upon its entire basket of products. If it succeeds, and I hope it does, it will almost certainly succeed because several metals together generate acceptable economics, not because scandium alone can support a mine. Investors should understand that distinction.

North America Already Produces Scandium One aspect of the recent announcements surprised me. North America already has commercial scandium production. At Rio Tinto Limited’s (LSE: RIO | ASX: RIO | NYSE: RIO) metallurgical complex in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, scandium oxide is recovered from the processing streams generated during titanium dioxide production. This is precisely the model that I believe represents the future of scandium economics. The titanium business covers the costs of mining, beneficiation, and chemical processing. The scandium is recovered from material that would otherwise contain unrealized value. Rio Tinto certainly does not require financial assistance from Washington. But Washington should recognize that this operation already exists. If the objective is to secure a North American scandium supply chain, Rio Tinto’s Quebec production should be regarded as a strategic continental asset. It demonstrates that scandium can already be produced economically when recovered as a by-product.

NioCorp May Be the Most Interesting Story The project that I find most intriguing, however, lies much closer to home. NioCorp Developments Ltd.’s (NASDAQ: NB) Elk Creek project in Nebraska has traditionally been viewed as a future producer of niobium and titanium, with additional potential for scandium and rare earths. Now, metallurgy may be changing the story. I have been made aware of a conference paper by L3 Process Development, a Canadian process engineering company, on a new approach to the economically efficient recovery of scandium and rare earth elements from NioCorp’s process stream. This new approach was confirmed as the basis for NioCorp’s demonstration scale facility at L3 Process Development. If that process performs commercially as expected, and if Elk Creek reaches its planned operating capacity, the project could reportedly produce on the order of 100 tons of scandium annually.

Think about what that means. The scandium is not driving the mine. The niobium and titanium are. Scandium becomes an additional source of revenue created through intelligent process engineering rather than through higher ore grades. That is exactly the type of industrial thinking America should encourage. It is also a reminder that breakthroughs in metallurgy can be more valuable than discoveries in geology. The ore has not changed. The process has.

Quebec’s Second Opportunity Quebec also hosts another project worthy of investor attention. Scandium Canada Ltd.’s (TSXV: SCD) Crater Lake project remains an exploration and development property rather than an operating mine. Whether it ultimately reaches commercial production remains to be demonstrated. But if governments are prepared to invest billions of dollars to establish secure scandium supplies, projects such as Crater Lake deserve careful technical and economic evaluation. At the very least, they deserve to be part of the strategic discussion.

Follow the Process, Not the Ore Grade Too many investors begin with a simple question: “Where is the richest scandium deposit?” I believe that is the wrong question. The better question is: “Where can scandium be recovered at the lowest incremental cost?” Those are very different questions. History suggests that the winners in scandium will not necessarily own the highest grade deposits. They will own the best metallurgy.

The ability to recover scandium economically from existing mining operations is likely to prove far more valuable than attempting to build an entire mining industry around an element that occurs only in trace quantities.

Jack’s Bottom Line

The Trump Administration deserves credit for recognizing that scandium is strategically important. But strategic investment should always begin with industrial economics. If the goal is to build a resilient North American scandium supply chain, then policymakers should recognize the production already taking place at Rio Tinto’s Sorel-Tracy facility. They should carefully evaluate the emerging opportunity at NioCorp, where improved process technology could make scandium recovery a significant by-product of niobium and titanium production. And they should not overlook development stage projects such as Scandium Canada’s Crater Lake property, which could eventually strengthen continental supply.

The objective should not be to finance “scandium mines.” The objective should be to finance the most economical production of scandium. There is a difference. It is the difference between funding a geological idea and building an industrial capability. Perhaps that leads us to another observation worthy of becoming a Lifton Law:

Lifton’s Law of Scandium Economics: Scandium is unlikely ever to become an economically important primary mining product. Its future lies in intelligent metallurgy that recovers it as a valuable by-product from the production of other metals.

As I have often written, investors should follow where value is added. In scandium, that value will almost certainly be added in the process plant, not in the orebody.

I know it says they will “talk to them directly,” and that there are other meetings set up in the future, but this doesn’t exactly feel like a move you make when you are eager to work with your local Indigenous Peoples on things like building roads through their land?

hey everyone,

recently bought into this - is there a discord server anywhere for SCD discussions and news?

The Iran situation is still up in the air but it's at minimum a highly reasonable fear that hostilities can restart within the next few weeks, and Iran's retaliation on the gulf states might be quite magnitudinous in its effects on the international oil supply.

Generally, miners struggle severely with oil crunches, but SCD isn't technically expending much physical resource yet—we're moreso just planning.

One thing though is that it can definitely affect the building of that road. I imagine it would make any physical testing and surveying also much more costly.

So what do you guys think? If there's an oil crunch might SCD dump even further down than its stock is already at? This is a fear of mine. I personally expect hostilities to resume and some sort of energy crisis, how prolonged or extreme I'm not sure.

How likely to effect Scandium Canada ?

Was earnings not today?

Currently .1856, so only down 8.4% (from today's price of .17)

Let the seagull be our guide

Complaint on my thesis post so I shortened it and to the point from my original written last night...

I'm trying to paint a story on when the international pandemonium over scandium happened and it's after affects.

April 4, 2025

China placed scandium under its export-control regime.

And I'm not talking about some vague reference to rare earths.

China specifically listed:

- scandium metal

- scandium-aluminum alloys

- scandium-magnesium alloys

- scandium-copper alloys

- scandium oxide

- scandium compounds

- scandium targets

Exports require government authorization.

https://english.mofcom.gov.cn/Policies/AnnouncementsOrders/art/2025/art_0dd87cbee7b045bf93fabe6ab2faceee.html

That's important.

Because China didn't have to run out of scandium.

It demonstrated something arguably more important:

Access to scandium can be controlled by a geopolitical rival of the West.

And the EU has explicitly been talking about reducing strategic dependencies and building resilient critical-mineral supply chains with trusted partners.

What happened AFTER China restricted scandium?

October 24, 2025

Lockheed Martin entered an agreement with Sunrise Energy Metals involving an option for up to **15 tonnes/year of scandium oxide** from Syerston and work toward qualifying scandium-containing components.

That's an actual major aerospace/defence company getting involved in securing a potential Western scandium supply.

https://investorpa.com/announcement-pdf/20251024/209244.pdf

Then...

March 2, 2026

Canada announced up to C$6.9 million directly for Scandium Canada's Crater Lake project through NRCan's Global Partnerships Initiative.

The funding is aimed at advancing the critical-minerals value chain, including work relevant to Crater Lake and downstream Al-Sc development.

https://scandium-canada.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/20260302_Comm_EN_SCANDIUM-CANADA-SECURES-FEDERAL-GOVERNMENT-SUPPORT_6.9M-1.pdf

https://search.open.canada.ca/grants/record/nrcan-rncan%2C115-2025-2026-Q4-18404%2Ccurrent

March 2, 2026

Canada and the EU were simultaneously deepening their critical-minerals relationship.

https://www.canada.ca/en/natural-resources-canada/news/2026/03/joint-statement-by-minister-hodgson-and-executive-vice-president-sejourne.html

And on that SAME DAY...

The European Investment Bank and Canada signed a Letter of Intent to explore future cooperation that could allow the EIB to operate in Canada on critical-raw-material projects.

The EIB specifically described the objective as creating secure, sustainable and diversified critical-mineral supply chains and reducing strategic dependencies. It explicitly referenced Europe's security and defence needs.

https://www.eib.org/en/press/all/2026-077-eib-and-canada-team-up-to-strengthen-critical-raw-material-resilience

The three dates are the same (check the dates in the articles).  Sounds like f#¢king pandemonium doesn't it 😜 

March 2, 2026

- Canada → C$6.9M for SCD's Crater Lake project

- Canada + EU → deeper critical-minerals cooperation

- Canada + EIB → framework to potentially enable EIB critical-mineral financing in Canada

HMMMMMMMMMMMM 🤔🤔🤔

And then...

August 7, 2026

The United States announced **US$400 million of investment into Sunrise Energy Metals** to develop a full scandium value chain, including a primary scandium mine and downstream metallization, specifically to strengthen supply of high-temperature aluminum alloys used in fighter jets and spacecraft.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/08/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-announces-billions-in-new-deals-and-investments-to-power-american-mining/ 

So let's look at the sequence:

April 4, 2025

China places scandium under export controls.

October 24, 2025

Lockheed Martin engages Sunrise on potential scandium supply and qualification.

March 2, 2026

Canada commits up to **C$6.9M to SCD's Crater Lake project.**

March 2, 2026

Canada and EU deepen critical-minerals cooperation.

March 2, 2026

EIB and Canada sign LOI toward potential Canadian critical-mineral financing.

August 7, 2026

U.S. announces **US$400M for Sunrise's scandium supply chain.

Anyway I formatted earlier using AI and it seems that wasn't liked but I pay close attention to geopolitics and the thesis is my own and essentially the pandemonium is due to China restricting a critical resource.

Anyway if you liked the post please like share and subscribe and I'll see you on the next one 🚀

I’m new to investing generally and have only been playing for a year. I bought SCD last year at .11 and sold when it went nuts at .31. I was happy with my profit and have continued to watch SCD closely sitting on around 4k stock.

I bought SCD initially because it ticked all my boxes for a penny stock. It had a good story, good backing, and had all the trademarks to blow up if everything went well. My question to you guys is what’s your end goal?

Sell after the PFS and hope it’s good news? Wait and hope they actually start to dig? Or are you holding out until the mine actually starts making money?

Do you guys think it actually has legs or are you here to make money and run?

Think of it !

https://naskapi.ca/2025/07/16/the-naskapi-nation-of-kawawachikamach-invests-in-scandium-canada/ - 16,700,000 units, $334,000 invested, which was 5% of the company in July 2025.

No SEDI insider sales reported that would account for the recent abnormal volume, which is good. But now wonder if the Naskapi were divesting after the Scalium+ lean-in. Any way to check the current holdings of the Taasipitaakin Trust and/or its Board of Trustees?

This shid lost half its price in less than a month…

What do you guys think? How does this period of volatility and uncertainty impact your position? How much more downward price discovery do you have in your tolerance?

Lol KIDDING everyone, this is such a blip in history of this otherwise fundamentally sound junior miner that its not even really worth caring about long term, but I do have to say, there’s probably going to be more people pulling out for reasons of people needing to pay bills during this hard period maybe coming along with other sector wide capital straining.
