Doubleview Gold
The Gigantic Scandium Green Energy Transition Opportunity
Doubleview Gold’s Hat project has vast quantities of some of the most desirable critical metals required for the Green Energy Transition. Due to the amount of time that it takes to put new mines into production and a lack of deposits waiting to be put into production, severe supply deficits will occur causing much higher metal prices. Higher metal prices will make critical metal deposits a lot more valuable and extremely lucrative to mine.
Unlike EV battery metals which have constantly been changing composition in order to minimize future supply shortages/higher costs, there is no cost effective substitute for some metals like Copper. In terms of Copper, Doubleview Gold’s project possibly contains BILLIONS & BILLIONS of lbs of it. Scandium is another metal that doesn’t seem to have any substitute in terms of its ability to create a strong, light-weight alloy which can be used in anything that can benefit from a weight reduction.
Scandium is rarely talked about because of its small market but this will change. Although Scandium is abundant in nature, its economic extraction has resulted in high metal prices. There are large standalone Scandium projects that have not been put into production due to the economic risks involved with a metal that has a small market and a high price.
Despite the vast benefits of Scandium being successfully proven in many applications where cost wasn’t a concern, the only thing that has prevented its mass usage is the high price as a result of a lack of supply. The supply issue will soon be resolved making Scandium affordable to be commercially used in many industries, especially the transportation industry.
I believe the growth of the Scandium market and the use of it in our everyday lives will be fueled by low-cost special extraction processes that use mining waste rock (tailings) like Rio Tinto recently developed.
According to a recent YouTube interview (08 Feb 23) with the company, the CEO said the “56% Scandium (recovery) hasn’t happened in the Western Hemisphere….this is the first one happening with this large scale and with this method (talking about the unique extraction process it developed)”.
The CEO also says that he heard the recovery rate of North America’s only Scandium producer (Rio Tinto) using its own specially developed extraction process is only 3% but he hasn’t seen any public information to confirm it.
If Doubleview Gold’s unique, one-of-a-kind, very low-cost and efficient extraction process ends up being better than Rio Tinto’s (world’s 2nd largest mining company) process, it has the potential to revolutionize the Scandium industry. How desirable would that make Doubleview Gold?
With the Green Energy Transition underway, a commodities supercycle developing, supply deficits of many metals projected and mining companies wanting to capitalize on what’s to come, I believe a perfect storm is brewing for desirable companies like Doubleview Gold.
I believe there’s nothing that compares to Doubleview Gold’s Hat project in terms of desirability and potential to host the most critical metals tonnage in a tier 1 jurisdiction!
Doubleview Gold currently has some of the most desirable critical metals required for the Green Energy Transition and beyond.
In my opinion and like I’ve been saying for years, it’s just a matter of time before Doubleview Gold becomes an acquisition target.
