Abstract: The actuality of study. Scandium – one of the most important rare earth metals found in natural environments in the extremely absent-minded state. Significant resources of scandium are concentrated in the ash stone and brown coals, including coal ash and slag of Kuzbass. Studying of distribution of scandium in the stratigraphic section makes it possible to identify epoch of mass inflow of scandium in the composition of the sediment strata. The main aim of study: To Study patterns of distribution of scandium in the composition of the least studied middle – upper Permian deposits of the Kuznetsk Basin (kolchuginskaya series) and to reveal the section enriched with scandium of a stratigraphic section, favorable for concentration of scandium in contained coal seams. Methods used in the study: Detailed studying of petrographic composition of basic coastal cuts of the river of Tom and sections of wells correlated with them, geochemical sampling, determination of composition of rocks on the basis of approximate quantitative spectral analysis, analysis of composition of clay by the coloring method, sliding averaging of results of analytical definitions. Results: Concentration of scandium in the rocks enriched in volcanic ash material is installed. Perspective for revealing of scandium containing coals are considered: the upper part uskatskaya suite (P2us), leninskaya (P2-3ln) and gramoteinskaya (P3gr) suites in sites of concentration of volcanic – ash material.
