A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report, including the exhibit attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Scandium International Mining Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a US $2.5 million convertible loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with an unrelated private investment company, Scandium Investments LLC (“SIL”), on June 24, 2014. The terms of the Loan Agreement provide for conversion of the loan into a 20% joint venture interest in the Company’s Nyngan and Honeybugle Scandium Projects in NSW, Australia (the “Projects”) at such time as the Company successfully raises US $3.0 million in project-related funding.

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan, SIL will convert the loan into a 20% direct joint venture interest in the Company’s Projects on closing of the private placement referred to in Item 3.02.
