local capacity and generates valuable knowledge and information that can be used to inform the company’s environmental management plans. Scandium Canada has also implemented programs to support local communities' economic development by providing training and employment opportunities in the mining industry. These programs are designed to ensure that local communities benefit from the economic opportunities provided by the mining industry while also ensuring that the environmental and social impacts of the company's operations are minimized. By taking this unique environmental and social sustainability approach, Scandium Canada is setting an example for other mining companies to follow. Rather than simply focusing on minimizing negative impacts, the company is actively working to build the capacity of local communities to manage their natural resources in an environmentally sound and socially responsible way. This approach benefits local communities and helps ensure the long-term sustainability of the company's operations.
