Table 3 presents drill core assay and Copper Equivalent values for copper, gold, cobalt, and scandium.

Key Points: 
  • Table 3 presents drill core assay and Copper Equivalent values for copper, gold, cobalt, and scandium.
  • Inclusion of scandium in Hat Project Copper Equivalent values significantly increases the CuEq figures.
  • Copper Equivalent is a calculated single-value composite of possibly economically recoverable metals and is widely used in the evaluation of early-stage mineral properties.
  • Scandium in tailings could be purified to yield scandium phosphate, a high value specialized product*, or scandium oxide, a much lower value commodity.
