NioCorp Developments Ltd (NB) News

I have no idea what is said within the offices of the transition team Putz. But I do know NioCorp's management team has prior relationships there and is in regular daily contact with them, and that they are totally supportive of the work DOD and EXIM are doing with NioCorp.

UK 2024 Criticality Assessment published

Niobium #1

https://www.bgs.ac.uk/news/uk-2024-criticality-assessment/

Niobium is definitely a shining star of the future! Mark Smith and Dean Kehler need to start polishing their tarnished reputations and image.

That Niobium would be the Primary Bread winner, riding a Dark Horse, per Landmark.

So 7500 tonnes is 7.5 million KG's @ $45.00 per, equals $337,500,000

Lots of upside for Titanium

And then there is Scandium!

That's the problem! too many minerals, and too cumbersome to decide which one to promote.
Good excuse! lol

NioCorp should put in a revolving door at the front entrance, and then they will come to us.

***********
What part of Revolving Door doesn't Dean Kehler understand?
The leaving part I assume!

Bwahahaha. Utter garbage.

Niobium: A metal of the future

The niobium project pipeline
Though the world is short on mines dedicated to niobium production, that could change over the next few years as a number of late-stage developers make the jump to mining.

One of the most prominent near-stage assets is NioCorp Developments’ (NASDAQ:NB) Elk Creek Project in Nebraska. Located 129km south of Omaha, the project — when it comes online — will be the only niobium mine and the primary niobium processing facility in the US.

Already, NioCorp has secured all the necessary construction permits and contracted 75% of its planned ferroniobium production for the first 10 years of operation. According to a 2022 Feasibility Study, Elk Creek is expected to produce almost 7,500 tonnes of ferroniobium annually over a 38-year life, with production due to begin at the start of 2026.

It’s that time of year where we should all give thanks. Two years ago we were so thankful that Mark wanted us to merge with GXII. We were going to get the needed funds to finish the detailed engineering work and get the money to break ground. Instead, we were slaughtered and gutted. The NYC thugs have taken Mark and all of us to the cleaners. Happy Thugsgiving everyone!

I would love to be a fly-on-the-transition-teams-wall.
I could use some good news.

What have they said so far?

Regardless of that, happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to all the American

With another Thanksgiving here upon us...... sometimes i feel like a Turkey walking to the NB Slaugterhouse when i see the .13 cent abysmal stock price......at this rate it would take a thousand shares just to buy a FRIKKIN TURKEY!!! cuz the leaders have gobbled up all the patience from every last investor.....
We hope for the best and hope that the worst (cuz it has been a shit show by all objective accounts) is behind us....

LET's GO NIOCORP!!! Let's make ALL THOSE TRIPS TO WASHINGTON D.C. PAY OFF!!! WE SEE EVERYONE AND THEIR BROTHER AND SISTER GETTING MORE FINANCIAL SUPPORTING LOVE (EVEN THE LATEST $26m FUNDING FOR THE MINING COMPANY PRODUCING NIOBIUM OXIDE !!!!) gosh..... everybody seems to be cutting in the Thanksgiving Dinner Buffet line.... in front of NioCorp.... even tho NIOCORP is sponsoring all these seminars/conferences!!! HUH??? WTF...... Maybe 2025 will be the YEAR that NIOCORP FINALLY (geee zusssss FINALLLLLLLLLLY) declares that they will IN FACT produce REE's..... You know you can't rush into these PR declarations..... HAHAHAHAHAHA........ gotta take the requisite 4 YEARS just to get that out definitively!!! ONLY IN NIO-VILLE does it take 4 hours to watch the show '60 Minutes'...... while the investors marvel at how our 'lil engine that could (or might) chugs along at mine speed (i.e., 1 step forward.... 4 steps back...... at 1 mph)
All our chips are on DOD now (to finance the FS and extra EXIM DD/Homework).....they (NIO Mangle-ment) always said the we would not desperately kneel at the gub'mint alter with hat in hand..... beholden to the elongated timelines and stops and starts and inherent and exasperating gubmint inefficiencies..... BUT HERE WE ARE...... God help us all...

I don't want it to fail. Remember this is just a message board. it means nothing, I hope you are right, but if we are still sitting here summer 2025 I wont be surprised. I'm sure there's still a ton of bipartisan support and competitive tension. Sure. there always is. There just is never any fucking money.

Bingo! Well stated ge. Your posts have been spot on and the truth. I made inquiry following the election as to what effect, if any, the results of the election and the incoming administration would have on the pending items with DOD and EXIM. There are prior relationships between certain members of the NB management team and the incoming transition team. They have indeed been in daily contact and the Trump transition team is completely and totally supportive of the work DOD and EXIM are doing with NioCorp. Just "ignore" the noise from those who want this project to fail for their own selfish reasons.

Geee Dad, looky what you can get with an actual functioning business with an actual product. You mean that 26M wont go directly into the bank accounts of the company officers and the light company while they wait on a hope and a prayer? I'm completely amazed.

The more the Merrier as Jim would say.

And if you can’t beat them, let them beat you. (to a pulp)

Honestly, 10M wouldn't do anything right now anyway. I say hold it back until we have other money in place and the 10M could further supplement our effort to produce a master alloy which is what the 10M is actually for. Its not for can kicking to pay the light bill and salaries.

That's funny also. DOD must be very prudent and scrutinize the expense of $10M. Make sure that 10M going to the right cause. After all, 10M is a lot of money, mind you. BUT, they don't mind completely losing track of multiples of $1B. 100X 10M can be shat upon the earth with reckless abandon, but watch your 10M.

DOD eom

According to Niocorp management, we have been shovel ready for years!!! The incoming Trump administration is certainly a bonus for us.

Reality, we have less than 5% institutional investment in the company. There is no competitive tension between institutional investors or commercial lenders. Shovel ready for years!!! We have had smoke blown up our arses for years!!!

Of course not. But the trump admin did nothing here from 2016-2020. I remember back then the same sentiment was frothing on this board. OMG Trump gonna make Niocorp Great Again! Ryan Zinke was gonna get it done! The July 2018 Senate hearing on critical minerals featuring Jim Sims was the start of the fire baby! Then, absolutely nothing happened. But wait! Air permit hits in June 2020 LIFTOFF BABYYY!! Annnnnd again, NOTHING.

We might be a bit more on the mineral hungry side this time, but Im not holding my breath. If they slash EPA rules that aren't a problem anyway for us, we are still flat broke. It can't hurt to reduce EPA rules in any raw material industry. If we got ground broken by the end of 2020, we might be just now producing usable materials. We missed the opportunity to stockpile for WWIII by about 4-8 years if the right's intention was to stockpile.

I can't remember which entity the company said they were in contact with daily sometime ago, but I always wondered if it meant the entity was also in contact with them?

Show me where it says they are in daily communication. Prove to me that you didnt just pull that "bullshit" out of your ass.

LMAO do your own DD. Everyone says that. And here I am all caught up with you in the deep red. You dont know shit either. Nobody does. Darkness here because they have nothing positive to report.

Do your own DD, you don't know what the F##K you are talking about.....you are lazy

I don't read into bullshit that is not there like you do. That EXIM application has not done SHIT. It may be a vehicle for the incoming admin to get some money here. Don't hold your breath.

You saying they were in daily contact was indeed bullshit. You got that from the crystal ball in the back of your pants.

from time to time,
They always bring good news right before holidays: 4th of July , Christmas ,
...Thanksgiving?

No Exim application at that time
You simply ignore facts you don't like

You can believe what you want to, I don't put bullshit out on the board like a lot of posters do. Do your own DD, put me on ignore!

I hope the change helps this time. It did nothing from 2016-2020.

My point is Trump is for mining our minerals that we have in our back yard, and not depending on a foreign country for them. Trump understands the importance of critical minerals and our National Defense Stockpile.

Go Trump! Go NioCorp!!!!!!!!

You are creating dots to connect. There is no evidence EPA is our failure point or they are in "daily communication" with the incoming administration. I'd be surprised if trump has ever heard of Niocorp. Where's the news release saying they have "engaged" the trump administration like they "engaged" JPM Bank?? PFFFFFFT.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/5-takeaways-trump-economic-address-175257239.html

Trump complained that the U.S. has ample reserves of rare minerals that are used to manufacture certain goods, but can’t get at them because of environmental protection rules.

I highly doubt NB is in "daily communication" with the incoming administration. Where are you seeing that or hearing that? Did you glean that from the article title? Are you a subscriber? EPA issues were not a problem here, or at least they never said they were a risk. Fully permitted you know. Shovel Ready you know. Pfffft.

A New Administration is coming soon!!!

https://www.eenews.net/articles/trump-vows-to-slash-protections-to-boost-rare-earth-mining/

NioCorp is in daily communications with the incoming administration.....change is coming

Agreed. A couple of weeks ago an institution could have had a hair under a 10% stake in the company for $6 million dollars. No takers. Instead they had to do a private placement with a first for them 1.5 cheap warrants 5 years out per share.

Where the hell is that "tremendous institutional interest" Mark talked about 3 years ago when they announced the first shelf offering?

https://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/965598/niocorp-files-200-million-shelf-registration-to-help-fund-its-elk-creek-project-in-nebraska-965598.html

Its bullshit when its wrong. This has done absolutely nothing but fail. There have been some glimmers of positivity in process results and permitting, but the net trend is failure. Is it the team or the resource? Is it ignorance or deception from the veteran mining team who should know how to succeed if possible? Something isn't adding up, and this isn't looking good.

MP up for merging Lynas in the future......

NioCorp is dirty cheap, the minerals are in the ground NI Standard was done... 

Let's get it ready Mark! 

I agree looking at the chart,

But this it say he is a criminal?

At the end of the day, Mark has come up short for the past 10 years. Payday loans to keep the lights on and a devastating share price as a result is what we have now.

Bullshit 
A long time line and missed Timeliness are no proof for this, 
You this and try to scare the people 

Let's play game... How much % lower are we going today?
I start : -4% (sarcastic)

I have posted numerous fact based posts that Niocorp’s inputs were fake.The fact that a decade in that the project is unfinancible proves the point.

out of curiosity where is your proof for the board that all the inputs were fake, juts becasyen you spew like your new POTUDE doesn't make it true so truth up friend

The thing all the fanboys never accepted is that Mark has nothing to deal with. Fake inputs were obvious over ten years ago. It’s just been a paycheck scam ever since.

How many years do we keep giving Mark a free pass? He predicted a watershed year in 2024. Financing was imminent over 5 years ago. I could go on and on about all of Mark’s forward looking statements 🙄 that he’s made over the years that have never come to fruition. Unfortunately, it’s looking more and more like these guys were very good salesmen. Unfortunately, Dean Kehler and Jay Bloom were even better.

Mark needs to pull something together to maintain any integrity. Niocorp management has displayed nothing to investors for several years except their incompetence.

I feel with you..

Middle of next year Mark is officially a hero or a bad amateur manager... Even below the spac deal.... 

Except this year, will be the first year I don’t have to pay tax. Guess why?

So that’s something else I’m pissed off at Mark about. I could’ve done it all this year and not paid any tax on any of it
Pre or post SPAC

All because I believed every word he said

LOL! You mean something like the Roth retirement accounts we have here in the US. Got it now. You convert it and pay a small amount of tax based on the low total value at the time of conversion so your gains going forward can be withdrawn tax free. Understood.,

To a tax free account rather than a taxable cash account
The lower it goes the more I can move.

SMH at you too

At least you left the F out!

it is sickening , Greeting from a long.

*I should have invested in bitcoin. the imaginary money, then I would now have a 600% return, instad of -80%
crazy really crazy

The December news release(s) need to be amazing. Unfortunately, the reality it pointing towards vomit worthy holiday greetings and dilution. Or plans of how they intend to do some innovative neat thing someday with money they might get from someone somehow in order to be able to do those neat things someday. Here's to a constructive new year! 😀

Stellantis is becoming a distant memory, DOD was a joke the entire time, EMP appears to be non existent, and EXIM is STILL floundering. JPM has been engaged. 👍️👍️🖕 ✊️🤜🍆💦 ⌚️⌛️

By "move shares to tax free" I assume you mean tax loss? SMH
