Nyngan Definitive Feasibility Study Pushed to Q1 2027 After Subcontractor Delay

The company disclosed that a delay involving a subcontractor has shifted the expected completion date for the refreshed Definitive Feasibility Study for its Nyngan Scandium Project in New South Wales, Australia, to the first quarter of 2027. The announcement does not specify which subcontractor is involved or the nature of the delay. The study had been initiated earlier and is central to the company's path toward a Final Investment Decision, which the release states the company is pursuing as expeditiously as possible. The company did not disclose a revised budget for the study in the announcement.

Western Scandium Demand Growth Cited as Strategic Backdrop for Nyngan

The release highlights growing western-world demand for scandium across multiple use cases as a key strategic driver for the Nyngan project. Scandium International describes Nyngan as one of only two primary scandium projects in New South Wales holding both a mining licence and development consent, positioning it as a potential contributor to western supply resilience.
