Meanwhile in Kiviniemi Scandium Property, Finland What will the Evensen brothers think about the Kiviniemi scandium property, Finland. Developing it furthet (GB did not do that) or selling it to some company that might have interest on that mineralization.
Seems that a Finnish research group is developing an extraction process for Kiviniemi scandium. The proces contains (i) magnetic separation followed by (ii) pyrometallurgical process producing metallic iron and slag enriched in scandium. Scandium will be extracted ftom the slag using hydrometallurgical process. Their third paper eas just releaced in Metals.
