fyi
Following is a good read if you want to further understand what DBG will do with scandium or in other words NOT do.
DBG will not be going from laterite ore such as from tungsten or bauxite mining to Sc2O3 then to ScF3 but from waste non laterite tailings from copper mining to Sc2O3 then to ScF3 using phosphate.

So what you are saying is that DBG will first mine for copper. Once copper is processed then whatever waste or tailings are left are left from copper will be reprocessed to extract scandium. Given that there is no iron in the waster or tailings of copper, it will be much cheaper and easier for DBG to do and therefore much more lucrative $$$ wise. Am I understanding you correctly?

Exactly, you said it better than I could.
