Peter Cashin, Imperial’s President & CEO, commented, “We have made very considerable progress at our Crater Lake scandium property, resulting in a $1.7 billion NPV for our recently-delivered PEA. We believe now is the time to up our capital markets efforts as market dynamics indicate that critical minerals such as scandium and rare earths, are about to break out. We are sitting on a very valuable scandium resource that will help North America reduce its dependency on supply from less friendly jurisdictions and help meet rapidly growing demand.
