Doubleview Gold Corp. Achieves a Major Breakthrough in Scandium Recovery from Copper Porphyry Tailings
- Written by Reporters
Vancouver, British Columbia - Newsfile Corp. - November 25, 2025 - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive first-phase pre-optimization results from its two-year, novel scandium-focused metallurgical test program. These results confirm the technical viability of recovering high-purity scandium oxide alongside copper, gold, cobalt, and other metals from the Company's 100%-owned flagship HAT polymetallic deposit in northern British Columbia. This breakthrough development marks a global first: The successful recovery of scandium from copper porphyry flotation tailings to a scandium oxide product. The primary objective of this extensive test program, conducted at SGS Canada Inc., was to establish a viable proprietary flowsheet enabling scandium to be included in the upcoming, updated mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment, potentially as measured, indicated, or inferred resources. The Company's maiden resource estimate (July 25, 2024) highlighted a scandium potential of 300 to 500 million tonnes grading approximately 40 ppm Sc2O3. "The scandium resource potential is based on the drill holes on the property drilled for (July 25, 2024) maiden resource estimate for other metal content than scandium. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource." Early metallurgical test work demonstrated that scandium could be extracted from copper flotation tailings. Subsequently, through an innovative robust test work programme at SGS Canada Inc., it has been successfully demonstrated that scandium in flotation tailings can be recovered to a high purity di-scandium tri-oxide product (Sc2O3). Key metallurgical results include:

What is Scandium? Scandium (Sc) , (atomic weight 45.10, density 2.5), a close relative of the Rare Earth elements, possesses exceptional properties when alloyed with other metals, particularly aluminum. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and as an alloy is capable of dramatically improving strength, heat resistance, and weldability without adding significant weight. When combined with aluminum, scandium forms alloys that achieve the strength of steel while maintaining the light weight of aluminum, enabling revolutionary applications in transportation, aerospace, and clean energy. Scandium's scarcity, produced in limited quantities globally, primarily as a byproduct, makes it a high-value critical mineral, with prices often exceeding $5,000 per kilogram. Its applications span aerospace, defense, and increasingly, the clean energy sector, where it plays a pivotal role in advancing sustainable technologies. Global scandium resources are dominated by projects in Australia and northern Europe. Canadian deposits potentially can allow diversity of supply within a stable and mature mining jurisdiction.
