That is what makes it truly representative of the deposit,\u201d CEO Guy Bourassa says.<\/p>\n<p>Exploration at Crater Lake has now moved into the resource extension drilling phase, comprising 36 holes totalling approximately 4,000m.<\/p>\n<p>The program aims to extend the TG zone\u2019s current strike length by at least 200m, while delineating additional resources within the existing footprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real excitement starts now. With a minimum of 100 metres of extension on each side of a zone that currently runs approximately 700 metres, we have the potential to grow the TG zone resource by 20\u201325%,\u201d Bourassa adds.<\/p>\n<p>The company also plans to test targets towards the Discovery Area, located southwest of TG, which it says could ultimately extend the mineralised system to approximately 1.5km.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mining.com.au\/company\/scandium-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Scandium Canada<\/a> is a <a href=\"https:\/\/mining.com.au\/what-are-critical-minerals-and-why-governments-track-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">critical minerals<\/a> company developing North America\u2019s only primary scandium source through its Crater Lake Project in Qu\u00e9bec, <a href=\"https:\/\/mining.com.au\/how-to-invest-in-canadian-mining-stocks-from-australia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Write to <a href=\"https:\/\/mining.com.au\/scandium-canada-shifts-to-resource-expansion-drilling-at-crater-lake\/mailto:jackson.chen@mining.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jackson Chen<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/mining.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mining.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Images: Scandium Canada<\/p>\n<p>Add to Watch List:FeScandium CanadaMerNTScandium<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scandium Canada (TSX-V:SCD) has completed bulk sample drilling at the TG zone of its Crater Lake Project in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,2835,33842,241],"class_list":["post-163467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-canada","tag-exploration","tag-mineral-resource-estimate","tag-quebec"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
