NATURE_AND_CONTINUANCE_OF_OPER

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Notes to Financial Statements
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS	Scandium International Mining Corp. (the “Company”), formerly known as EMC Metals Corp., is a specialty metals and alloys company focusing on scandium and other specialty metals.
	The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada in 2006. The Company currently trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “SCY”.
	Our focus of operations is the exploration and development of our specialty metals assets, including the Nyngan scandium deposit located in New South Wales, Australia and the Tørdal scandium/rare earth minerals deposit in Norway. Prior to January 1, 2014, the Company’s principal asset was the Springer Tungsten mine and mill, held by the Springer Mining Company. On September 13, 2013, the Company signed a binding Letter of Intent to sell 100% of the Springer Mining Company entity, its assets and mineral and water rights to America’s Bullion Royalty Corp. (“AMB”), for $5 million cash. The transaction was closed on December 31, 2013.
	The sale also included the transfer of interests in the Company’s Carlin Vanadium property assets and the Copper King property tungsten assets in Nevada to AMB, along with Springer Tungsten.
	One of Scandium International Mining Corp.’s directors is also a director of the company that purchased Springer. The common director recused himself from director level voting on all board level decisions related to the sale.
	With the completion of the sale of the Tungsten asset, the Company’s focus is on the exploration and evaluation of its specialty metals assets, specifically the Nyngan scandium deposit located in New South Wales, Australia and the Tørdal scandium/rare earth minerals deposit in Norway. In June 2014, the Company made the final installment payment to acquire the Nyngan property. The Company is an exploration stage company and anticipates incurring significant additional expenditures prior to production at any and all of its properties.
	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities at their carrying values in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. These financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
	The Company currently earns no operating revenues and will require additional capital in order to advance both the Nyngan and Tørdal properties. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent upon the generation of profits from mineral properties, obtaining additional financing and maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors. These are material uncertainties that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that additional financial support is not received or operating profits are not generated, the carrying values of the Company’s assets may be adversely affected.

BASIS_OF_PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Notes to Financial Statements
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION	a)	Basis of presentation
	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
	These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, EMC Metals USA Inc., EMC Metals Corp Australia Pty Ltd., Wolfram Jack Mining Corp., The Technology Store, Inc., and Springer Mining Company. The Springer Mining Company was sold on December 31, 2013 with all of its costs being absorbed by the purchaser from September 13 until December 31, 2013. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
	b)	Change in functional and presentation currency
	The Company’s expenses and overheads are now primarily being incurred in United States Dollars (“USD”) and it is anticipated that cash flows will continue to be primarily in USD. Accordingly the Company determined that effective January 1, 2013, the functional currency of the Company would change from the Canadian Dollar to the USD for the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Amounts of $853,400 remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss pertain to historical translation differences as a result of prior period differences in functional currencies.
	c)	Use of estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuations, asset impairment, stock-based compensation and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
	d)	Investment in trading securities
	The Company’s trading securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
	e)	Property, plant and equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization, calculated as follows:
	Plant and equipment	5% straight line
	Building	5% straight line
	Computer equipment	30% straight line
	Small tools and equipment	20% straight line
	Office equipment	20% straight line
	Automobile	30% straight line
	Leasehold improvements	Over life of the lease
	f)	Mineral interests and exploration and development costs
	The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral interest is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral interests are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses).
	g)	Asset retirement obligations
	The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).
	h)	Long-lived assets
	Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
	i)	Income taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the asset and liability method the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some part or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized.
	j)	Loss per share
	Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company uses the treasury stock method and the if converted method. As at December 31, 2014, there were no warrants (2013 – 3,750,000) and 15,378,750 options (2013 – 14,168,750) outstanding which have not been included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as these were anti-dilutive.
	k)	Foreign exchange
	The Company's functional currency is the USD. Any monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the USD are translated at the rate prevailing at year end. Revenue and expenses in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into USD are included in current results of operations.
	l)	Stock-based compensation
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date for all stock-based awards to employees and directors and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value.
	m)	Financial instruments
	The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debentures and promissory notes payable. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted. The Company has its cash primarily in one commercial bank in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
	n)	Concentration of credit risk
	The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such amounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
	o)	Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
	The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
	The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.
	Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.
	Financial instruments, including receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debentures and promissory notes payable are carried at amortized cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.
	The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31, 2014, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:
			31-Dec-14		Quoted Prices in Active Markets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
					(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
	Assets:
	Cash		$	417,386	$	417,386	$	—	$	—
	Total		$	417,386	$	417,386	$	—	$	—
	The fair values of cash are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.
	p)	Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 (ASU 2014-10), Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information about income statement line items, cash flows, and equity transactions, and clarifies how entities should disclosure the risks and uncertainties related to their activities. ASU 2014-10 also eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (ASC Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and the revised consolidation standards will take effect in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-10 effective for its financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2014, and accordingly, is no longer presenting the inception-to-date financial information and disclosures formerly required.
	Accounting Standards Update 2013-05 - Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) - Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This standard provides guidance with respect to the treatment of the cumulative translation adjustment upon the sale of a foreign subsidiary whereby the cumulative translation adjustment associated with that subsidiary are taken into net income of the parent company. The Company has reviewed this standard and has determined that it has little impact on the presentation of its financial statements.
	Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 - Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry Forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry Forward Exists. This accounting standard deals with the treatment of tax loss carry forwards. The Company has reviewed this standard and has determined that it has little impact on the presentation of its financial statements.
	Accounting Standards Update 2014-15 – Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). This accounting pronouncement provides guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The policy is effective December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating this guidance and believes it will have little impact on the presentation of its financial statements.
	Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 - Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This accounting pronouncement provides guidance on the treatment of Property, Plant and Equipment plus the reporting of discontinued operations and disclosure of disposals of components of an entity. The policy is effective December 15, 2014. The Company is evaluating this guidance and believes it will have little impact on the presentation of its financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	During 2013, the Company identified a buyer for its tungsten properties and related plant and mill held by its subsidiary, Springer Mining Company (“Springer”). On September 13, 2013, the Company signed a binding Letter Of Intent (“LOI”) to sell 100% of the Springer Mining Company entity, its assets and mineral and water rights to Americas Bullion Royalty Corp. (“AMB”), for $5 million cash. The transaction was finalized on December 31, 2013.
	At the signing of the LOI, AMB paid $3.1 million directly to the existing convertible debt holder to retire a maturing debt plus accumulated interest.
	·	Cash paid by AMB to the convertible debt holder paid the debt in full and released the security interest in the Springer property and assets,
	·	The cash advanced by AMB formed a new loan, with AMB as lender, as at September 13, 2013,
	·	The new loan carried a zero interest rate, and
	·	AMB agreed to additionally fund all Springer property carrying costs until the final payment and closing date.
	The sale also included the transfer of interests in the Company’s Carlin Vanadium property mineral assets and the Copper King property tungsten assets in Nevada to AMB, along with Springer Tungsten.
	Springer was actively involved in the evaluation and re-start of the Company’s tungsten property, located in Pershing County, Nevada. Going forward, the Company has no further assets located in the US or continuing involvement with Springer.

	Title to mineral property interests involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral property interests. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral property interests and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties is in good standing.
	SCANDIUM PROPERTIES
	Nyngan, New South Wales Property
	On February 5, 2010, the Company entered in to an earn-in agreement with Jervois Mining Limited (“Jervois”), whereby it would acquire a 50% interest in the Nyngan Scandium property (the “Nyngan Project”) located in New South Wales, Australia. The JV Agreement, as amended, gave the Company the right to earn a 50% interest in a joint venture with Jervois, for the purpose of holding and developing the Nyngan Project. On June 22, 2012, the Company received notice of a lawsuit filed against the Company with regard to the achievement of certain milestones required under the JV Agreement. On February 6, 2013, the Company announced agreement of an out of court settlement to the dispute with Jervois. The terms of the settlement transferred 100% ownership and control of the Nyngan Project to the Company, in return for AUD$2.6 million cash payments and a percentage royalty payable to Jervois on sales of product from the project. A total of $1,108,484 (AUD$1.2 million) was paid in June 2013 as part of the settlement. A total of $1,364,031 (AUD$1.4 million) was paid in June 2014 to fulfill the obligations under the settlement agreement which gives 100% of the property to the Company.
	Royalties attached to the Nyngan property include a 1.5% Net Profits Interest royalty to private parties involved with the early exploration on the property, and a 1.7% Net Smelter Returns royalty payable to Jervois for 12 years after production commences, subject to terms in the settlement agreement. Another revenue royalty is payable to private interests of 0.2%, subject to a US$370k cap. A NSW minerals royalty will also be levied on the project, subject to negotiation, currently 4% on revenue.
	Tørdal and Evje-Iveland properties, Norway
	During 2012 the Company entered into an option agreement with REE Mining AS (“REE”) to earn up to a 100% interest in the Tørdal and Evje-Iveland properties pursuant to which the Company paid $130,000 and issued 1,000,000 common shares valued at $40,000. To earn its interest, the original agreement required the Company to pay REE an additional $500,000, incur $250,000 of exploration work and issue 250,000 common shares upon releasing the second of two full feasibility studies on the two properties. The Company subsequently renegotiated the payments required to earn the interest and the Evje-Iveland property was removed from the option agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company earned a 100% interest in the Tørdal property by paying an additional $35,000 and granting a 1% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) payable to REE.
	Honeybugle property, Australia
	In April of 2014 we also acquired an exploration license referred to as the Honeybugle property, a prospective scandium exploration property located 24 kilometers from the Nyngan Project. $69,000 in expenses were incurred in respect of this property.
	Hogtuva property, Norway
	During 2011 the Company entered into an option agreement with REE to earn a 100% interest in three scandium and beryllium exploration sites in Norway pursuant to which the Company paid $50,000. To earn its interest, the original agreement required the Company to pay REE an additional $100,000 and issue up to 200,000 common shares. During 2013, the Company renegotiated the payments required to earn the interest and removed two of the exploration sites from the agreement.
	Pursuant to the amendment, the Company earned a 100% interest in the Hogtuva property in consideration for the $50,000 original payment and the grant of a 1% NSR payable to REE. In early 2014 a decision was made by the Company not to renew its interest in the Hogtuva property and $50,000 in acquisition costs were written off during the year ended December 31, 2013.

	Promissory note with a principal balance of $3,750,000, bearing interest at 6% per annum, maturing July 3, 2013 and secured by land and water rights.
	During 2008 the Company entered into a promissory note for $6,750,000 as consideration for the acquisition of land and water rights. The Company subsequently made principal payments of $3,000,000 consisting of a cash payment of $1,000,000 and 4,728,000 units of the Company equity valued at $2,000,000.

	Promissory Notes related to continuing operations	2,500,000	Nil
	On June 24, 2014, the Company completed a $2,500,000 loan financing which includes a convertible feature. The loan has a maturity date of December 24, 2015 and bears loan interest that increases in quarterly increments from 4% to a maximum of 12%. The full loan can be converted into an effective 20% JV interest in Nyngan and Honeybugle. This conversion features can convert at the lender’s option or once the Company raises $3,000,000 in equity. The 20% JV partner has a carried interest until the Company meets two milestones: (1) filing a feasibility study on SEDAR, and (2) receiving a mining license on either JV property. The JV partner becomes fully participating on development and build costs thereafter. The JV partner holds an option to convert their 20% JV interest into equivalent value of the Company’s shares, at market prices, rather than participate in construction. The JV partner’s option to convert its project interest to the Company’s shares is a one-time option, at such time the partner becomes fully participating on project costs. If the Company is unable to raise $3,000,000 and repay the loan, the lender may exercise a purchase option wherein the debt will be settled in exchange for 100% interest in the Nyngan mineral rights.
	On June 24, 2013 the Company completed a $1,204,875 financing consisting of a series of insider and non-insider loans. The loans had a maturity date in June 2014 and bore interest at 10% per annum. The loans were secured by the ownership interest the Company has or earns in the Nyngan Scandium Project.  As an inducement to enter into this loan, the lenders received a royalty of 0.2% of average scandium sales value, produced from the Nyngan property, on the first 100 tonnes of scandium oxide product produced and sold. The royalty was capped at $370,000 and the Company retained a right to buy back the royalty from the lenders or their assigns for $325,000 at any time up to the commencement of first production, or three years from the loan date, whichever occurs first. This financing was paid in full in June 2014.	Nil	1,204,875

BASIS_OF_PRESENTATION_Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Basis Of Presentation Policies
Basis of presentation	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
	These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, EMC Metals USA Inc., EMC Metals Corp Australia Pty Ltd., Wolfram Jack Mining Corp., The Technology Store, Inc., and Springer Mining Company. The Springer Mining Company was sold on December 31, 2013 with all of its costs being absorbed by the purchaser from September 13 until December 31, 2013. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Change in functional and presentation currency	The Company’s expenses and overheads are now primarily being incurred in United States Dollars (“USD”) and it is anticipated that cash flows will continue to be primarily in USD. Accordingly the Company determined that effective January 1, 2013, the functional currency of the Company would change from the Canadian Dollar to the USD for the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Amounts of $853,400 remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss pertain to historical translation differences as a result of prior period differences in functional currencies.
Use of estimates	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuations, asset impairment, stock-based compensation and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Investment in trading securities	The Company’s trading securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
Property, plant and equipment	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization, calculated as follows:
	Plant and equipment	5% straight line
	Building	5% straight line
	Computer equipment	30% straight line

Mineral interests and exploration and development costs	The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral interest is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral interests are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses).
Asset retirement obligations	The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).
Long-lived assets	Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Income taxes	The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the asset and liability method the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some part or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized.
Loss per share	Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company uses the treasury stock method and the if converted method. As at December 31, 2014, there were no warrants (2013 – 3,750,000) and 15,378,750 options (2013 – 14,168,750) outstanding which have not been included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as these were anti-dilutive.
Foreign exchange	The Company's functional currency is the USD. Any monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the USD are translated at the rate prevailing at year end. Revenue and expenses in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into USD are included in current results of operations.
Stock-based compensation	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date for all stock-based awards to employees and directors and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value.
Financial instruments	The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debentures and promissory notes payable. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted. The Company has its cash primarily in one commercial bank in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Concentration of credit risk	The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such amounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities	The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
	The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.
	Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.
	Financial instruments, including receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debentures and promissory notes payable are carried at amortized cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.
	The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31, 2014, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

	The fair values of cash are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 (ASU 2014-10), Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information about income statement line items, cash flows, and equity transactions, and clarifies how entities should disclosure the risks and uncertainties related to their activities. ASU 2014-10 also eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (ASC Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and the revised consolidation standards will take effect in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-10 effective for its financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2014, and accordingly, is no longer presenting the inception-to-date financial information and disclosures formerly required.
	Accounting Standards Update 2013-05 - Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) - Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This standard provides guidance with respect to the treatment of the cumulative translation adjustment upon the sale of a foreign subsidiary whereby the cumulative translation adjustment associated with that subsidiary are taken into net income of the parent company. The Company has reviewed this standard and has determined that it has little impact on the presentation of its financial statements.
	Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 - Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry Forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry Forward Exists. This accounting standard deals with the treatment of tax loss carry forwards. The Company has reviewed this standard and has determined that it has little impact on the presentation of its financial statements.
	Accounting Standards Update 2014-15 – Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). This accounting pronouncement provides guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The policy is effective December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating this guidance and believes it will have little impact on the presentation of its financial statements.
	Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 - Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This accounting pronouncement provides guidance on the treatment of Property, Plant and Equipment plus the reporting of discontinued operations and disclosure of disposals of components of an entity.

	Promissory note with a principal balance of $3,750,000, bearing interest at 6% per annum, maturing July 3, 2013 and secured by land and water rights.
	During 2008 the Company entered into a promissory note for $6,750,000 as consideration for the acquisition of land and water rights. The Company subsequently made principal payments of $3,000,000 consisting of a cash payment of $1,000,000 and 4,728,000 units of the Company equity valued at $2,000,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant exercisable at C$0.75 each and exercisable for a period of two years. The note was secured by a First Deed of Trust on the Cosgrave property land and water rights.
	In June 2013 the Company returned, to the note holder, the Cosgrave Ranch for the value of the promissory note thereby extinguishing this debt. (Note 5)
	Promissory Notes related to continuing operations	2,500,000	Nil
	On June 24, 2014, the Company completed a $2,500,000 loan financing which includes a convertible feature. The loan has a maturity date of December 24, 2015 and bears loan interest that increases in quarterly increments from 4% to a maximum of 12%. The full loan can be converted into an effective 20% JV interest in Nyngan and Honeybugle. This conversion features can convert at the lender’s option or once the Company raises $3,000,000 in equity. The 20% JV partner has a carried interest until the Company meets two milestones: (1) filing a feasibility study on SEDAR, and (2) receiving a mining license on either JV property. The JV partner becomes fully participating on development and build costs thereafter. The JV partner holds an option to convert their 20% JV interest into equivalent value of the Company’s shares, at market prices, rather than participate in construction. The JV partner’s option to convert its project interest to the Company’s shares is a one-time option, at such time the partner becomes fully participating on project costs. If the Company is unable to raise $3,000,000 and repay the loan, the lender may exercise a purchase option wherein the debt will be settled in exchange for 100% interest in the Nyngan mineral rights.
	On June 24, 2013 the Company completed a $1,204,875 financing consisting of a series of insider and non-insider loans. The loans had a maturity date in June 2014 and bore interest at 10% per annum. The loans were secured by the ownership interest the Company has or earns in the Nyngan Scandium Project.  As an inducement to enter into this loan, the lenders received a royalty of 0.2% of average scandium sales value, produced from the Nyngan property, on the first 100 tonnes of scandium oxide product produced and sold. The royalty was capped at $370,000 and the Company retained a right to buy back the royalty from the lenders or their assigns for $325,000 at any time up to the commencement of first production, or three years from the loan date, whichever occurs first. This financing was paid in full in June 2014.	Nil	1,204,875
	During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed a $3,000,000 loan financing which included a $1,000,000 note payable bearing interest of 7% per annum maturing August 15, 2013. Presented is this principle balance, less financing costs, which are amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. This resulted in a carrying costs of $831,841 upon deducting a debt discount of $168,159 from the principal balance of $1,000,000. During 2013, the Company recognized $69,313 in accretion through interest expense. During 2012, the Company recognized $98,847 in accretion through interest expense. The note payable was secured by an interest in the Company’s subsidiary, Springer Mining Company. The financing was repaid in full on September 13, 2013.	Nil	Nil
