We present results of geological-mineralogical-geochemical studies of the Tebinbulak scandium-containing titanium-magnetite deposit in Western Uzbekistan. The levels of scandium content in ores and rocks of the pyroxene-hornblende massif have been analyzed. The potential for the associated extraction of scandium from ores, which can significantly increase the profitability of the industrial development of the deposit, is discussed.
