SCANDIUM CANADA MANDATES ENGINEERING FIRM NORDA STELO TO LEAD THE
PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE CRATER LAKE PROJECT
MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC – Scandium Canada Ltd. (TSX-V: SCD) (the “Company”) is pleased to
confirm the signing of a service agreement with Québec-based engineering firm Norda Stelo for
the completion of the pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) for the Crater Lake project. The timeline for the
delivery of the study’s conclusions remains summer 2026, with the final report expected to be
released at the end of August 2026.
Norda Stelo will be responsible for the overall completion of the PFS, including the integration of
the “Updated Mineral Resource Estimate” NI 43-101 technical report from April 2025. This
mandate does not include tasks related to metallurgical processes and recovery, which will be
carried out by firms selected by Scandium Canada.
“We are very excited about the progress being made. Thanks to the exercise of warrants since
December 1st, we are able to advance the project to another pivotal milestone,” said Guy
Bourassa, CEO of Scandium Canada. “The Crater Lake project includes the construction of
mining infrastructure with a camp, power generation, and an airstrip, as well as the construction
of a hydrometallurgy plant in the Schefferville region. We are also in advanced discussions
regarding the analysis of an access road project from Schefferville to the Crater Lake site, which
is not included in the current pre-feasibility study.”
