The first data on the discovery of Th-Sc mineralization in the pyritic complexes of the Southern Urals are presented. The minerals of Th (thorite) and Sc-containing thorium minerals are described. The conclusion is made that the Th-Sc mineralization formed due to crystallization of a residual melt in the local volume.
