RE:RE:RE:BMW, a silent partner, hidden in plain sight… Zerosum, I'm a bit confused by your post.
I falsely linked that Kivinimie drill program to my argument - BMW and SCY are in a partnership - claiming that it was more evidence. It's like you didn't get the idea. The argument was based on the fact that SCY used to have a copyrighted BMW picture in their corporate presentation. In the world of Internet, that choise may not seem like much, we all copy and copy, it's so common practice - but I can assure you in a business environment it isn't. If I were a marketing director at BMW I wouldn't allow some small arrogant company to use my brand to get their point across - AlSc alloys are much better. Unless... I don't want to repeat myself.
Ask yourself the question: Why would BMW give SCY permission to use their brand?
And now that SCY has decided it wants to go into the EV battery materials business (including HPA), and has some innovative ideas - like scandium in LIBs - they could become even more valuable or interesting to BMW. That relationship will only grow, IMO. And who knows...

Rio has exploration claims to explore for copper and gold only 5.5 miles from Kiviniemi They are likely also looking for Scandium as those claims are on trend with Kiviniemi. SCY either through reading the tea leaves or at the behest of Rio Tinto have decided to upgrade Kiviniemii to 43-101 standards. BMW does play a part but with Rio Tinto not SCY directly. If BMW was in discussions with SCY about Scandium do you think they would be heading into HPA? Rio Tinto and SCY seem to have a co-operation agreement in place even if it's un official. Either that or SCY is trying to get Rio Tinto to need them with Sc and HPA and those patents. Truth is They do need SCY they just can’t strike yet.
