This study, conducted by the Sustainable Minerals Institute - SMI - as part of the Queensland Government New Economy Minerals Initiative - NEMI - outlines the methodology and results of a targeting exercise in Queensland for three key mineral deposit types that are globally significant hosts for scandium mineralisation. Scandium is a high value critical metal that currently has restricted global production, but with demand forecast to increase with new high technology applications. The study outlines 36 discrete areas across Queensland considered as having high prospectivity for discovery of new scandium resources, with accompanying rationale and data provided in both this hardcopy report and in digital format.

本研究由可持续矿产研究所（Sustainable Minerals Institute, SMI）作为昆士兰州政府新经济矿产倡议（New Economy Minerals Initiative, NEMI）的组成部分开展，系统阐述了针对昆士兰州内三类全球重要的钪（scandium）矿化赋存矿床类型的靶区优选工作的方法与研究成果。钪是一种高价值关键金属，当前全球产量受限，但据预测其需求将随着新兴高科技应用的拓展而持续增长。本研究划定了昆士兰州内36处具备钪资源勘探高潜力的独立区域，并在本纸质报告及数字版本中附带了相关论证依据与数据资料。
