Bodes well for NioCorp....let's go NioCorp!!

Thanks DJ... Just read the article you posted!
...a portion of the minerals in that vehicle’s batteries will need to be extracted or refined from countries with free trade agreements with the United States.
Part of the credit is also tied to a percentage of battery components being manufactured in North America.
Hopefully we can move fast to meet the government deadlines
“Where’s the Beef”
djacob’s link
“It’s going to take a Herculean effort to get there,” he added. “The good thing about this legislation is that it does provide those deadlines and those deadlines will be an incentive for people to move forward.”
***********
Now that there are government deadlines for producers/ tax credits, which imo should be a catalyst. And NioCorp in their recent transparency to your post show very very good synergies to the legislation.
Let’s hope our name is top of the list, where it should be.
Hey PM! I continue to see a pathway for the U.S. govt. to play a role either by future tax benefits, loan guarantee, carbon credit or other means. (The Nebraska tax credit is in play along with the German loan guarantee are most welcome.)
We may be seeing some of the other methods as Mark stated (A,B,C... taking shape finally? Banks, Private, Govt. & other means are mentioned during the May update during Q/A)
Private means & Banks are hard to track. We all can guess who might be interested in our project & have done so. The U.S. govt. continues to offer public clues as to the direction they are moving albeit "slowly!" lol The DoE/LPO website being one such source does offer a glimpse/window:
https://www.energy.gov/lpo/loan-programs-office
"IF" as Jim pointed out in his recent response that "favorable" legislation is passed later this year 2022. (Congress does appear be moving in a direction more favorable to NEW mining to production being needed. Projects that are guided by ESG principles, GHG, NEW & PROVEN Separation technologies.... Niocorp's Elk Creek Mine does check-off many boxes including REE's, Niobium, Scandium, Titanium & some neat CO3 kickers. Being proven in the current ongoing Demo- for which we are all eagerly awaiting news... I believe some Entity/s are interested in our project!)
The Big-F cards may finally be in our favor later this year once the 2022 F.S. is completed?? I hope so...! Along with seeing that "Graveyard-Doji" in the rearview mirror as well PM! =)
Waiting with you all...
Chico
Excellent article and insight! I thought for many years jim and mark were EXTREMELY AGAINST ANY GOVT MONIES for $NIOCORP?? Why the sudden change now?
$NIOBF SUMMER FUN!!
Even though it does not help $niobf I like the fact more attention is being put on our rare earths as a whole....Someday we will have an article like this below but $NIOCORP could say $BILLIONS INVESTED!!
https://www.mining.com/web/lynas-to-invest-345m-in-rare-earths-mine-to-tap-demand/
djacob and chico, Interesting climate deal. Thanks both.
Between yours post, and Chico’s excellent question and the transparent response from Jim, a suggestion could be made for NioCorp to benefit from the government and the EV market can benefit from NioCorp. And with a doubling up of the man hours to put our project together, we could meet the government tax credit deadline head on.
EV Vehicles? Niocorp might be in the driver's seat for producing the minerals that are required for EV autos. Another reason why this bill may help Niocorp.
This article lays out the difficulties of producing EV autos, but the good news is that it requires manufacturing companies to seek out USA-friendly companies like Niocorp to produce the materials.

Hey Crit!/all- Just wanted to add the following observation after re-reading my original email...
6/17/2021 b) Has Niocorp possibly applied for a U.S. govt. Loan, or Loan Guarantee as described in the context above?
"No decision has yet been made as to whether or not to submit a formal application to this program, as our primary financing focus has been on private sector sources."
We are currently examining whether or not NioCorp’s Elk Creek Project would qualify for debt financing under the DOE LGP program.
Thx,
Jim
The Senate Democrats’ “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” legislation does indeed include several provisions that may be helpful to the Elk Creek Project. These include both production tax credits that would apply to all the critical minerals that we intend to produce, additional funding for the DPA Title III program aimed at supporting critical minerals production, and additional lending authority for the Title XVII program at DOE. If these provisions survive the amendment processes in the Senate and House, the Byrd Rule in the Senate, and can be passed by both Houses of Congress and is signed into law, it could have multiple positive impacts to the Project.
The bill text, as is presently available publicly, is attached. This bill will undoubtedly change when the Senate takes up the reconciliation process, as reconciliation does not limit amendments. There will be many amendments offered by both sides. Some of the bill’s provisions may not survive challenges on the Senate floor under what we call the “Byrd Rule.” Additionally, implementing regulations must be written by agencies of jurisdiction following the bill’s enactment into law to determine many of the details of various programs and funding initiatives. As always with government programs and processes, little happens quickly.
(But it does finally appear to be finally happening... T.B.D. indeed)
Apart from this bill’s proposed provisions, we have been working with several federal agencies regarding potential assistance to the Elk Creek Project, but those agencies do not allow us to disclose any details of those processes.
All the best,
Jim
Thanks again Chico,
Private entities would be great, but still whatever it takes via any avenues to keep our options open. Government possibly could help a lot in keeping our costs down, but what might the trade off be if it causes months of delays? If gov. is involved, let’s hope it’s by a streamlined process.
Otherwise, here is what we typically look forward to from the government as per Jim’s response to you. “If these provisions survive the amendment processes in the Senate and House, the Byrd Rule in the Senate, and can be passed by both Houses of Congress and is signed into law, it could have multiple positive impacts to the Project. “…….
…..As always with government programs and processes, little happens quickly. “
LOL! It’s never a bad time to be proactive! That’s like saying you hope the girl of your dreams will come to you first lol I guess in life you have leaders and followers haha. I still appreciate your feedback and calm demeanor though. That’s what makes the world go round! Different strokes for different folks!
$NIOBF SUMMER FUN!!
Thanks Chico! Very much appreciated! All answers from Jim are in line with that typical movement of the project.
Very encouraging. Thanks for sharing.

~We have a very experienced TEAM! ~ Fully Separated HIGH PURITY MATERIALS~ STILL WORKING WITH INITIAL ENTITY.... & MULTIPLE ADDITIONAL FIRMS... 5 DEBT providers, ~Largest Investment BANKS on EQUITY SIDE....~ worth a listen!
Agree, AO.
Additionally, I feel like we are overstepping as shareholders by not letting the NIO leadership lead the way for press release hounding, etc. My fear is that if we as shareholders reach out too often and not in a “professional” manner, it may turn those entities off when the REAL experts finally do. It is not our job to contact outlets and basically beg for attention. That should be left to the NIO care PROFESSIONALS.
Just my “old school” two cents. These guys know what they are doing and our efforts could actually hamper them vs help our cause.
Just my opinion DM, but, I think it would be more productive to do a media blitz after REE financial results. I think you would get a bigger bang for the buck.
I am happy you are finally happy!! Big things are in store for this amazing mining project!! We all need to be doing a full court press and reaching out to as many media contacts as possible!! We need mark and jim on the airways anyway possible! Lets make the dog days of August and a September to remember for team $NIOCORP!!

Would really be nice conditions for a big loan package........
$40 billion commitment authority for Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program (Title XVII)
https://www.whitecase.com/publications/alert/new-us-climate-bill-seeks-bolster-domestic-critical-minerals-supply-chain
Section 50141 of the IRA authorizes the Department of Energy ("DOE") to make commitments for an additional $40 billion in loan guarantees under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, on top of DOE's existing commitment authority of approximately $24 billion. Title XVII (also known as the Innovative Technologies Loan Guarantee Program) authorizes the Secretary of Energy to make loan guarantees for projects that (1) "avoid, reduce, utilize, or sequester" air pollutants or anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases; and (2) employ "new or significantly improved technologies" as compared to commercial technologies in service in the United States at the time the guarantee is issued.11 The $40 billion authorization under the IRA could bolster recent efforts to leverage the Title XVII program to support domestic production of critical minerals.
(Interesting DOTS on GHG & New/improved Technologies like "Separation"!)
Successive administrations have shown interest in using the Title XVII program to support domestic production of critical minerals, and Congress has recently taken steps to support those efforts. During the Trump Administration, DOE issued guidance interpreting Title XVII "broadly" to authorize loan guarantees for critical minerals projects, and "encourage[d] applications from potential projects involving the production, manufacture, recycling, processing, recovery, or reuse of Critical Minerals and other minerals."12 Subsequently, in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, Congress amended Title XVII to expressly authorize the provision of loan guarantees for "[p]rojects that increase the domestically produced supply of critical minerals . . . including through the production, processing, manufacturing, recycling, or fabrication of mineral alternatives."13 The Biden Administration is currently considering how regulations implementing Title XVII could be improved to facilitate applications for loan guarantees for critical minerals projects, among other changes.
New US Climate Bill Seeks to Bolster Domestic Critical Minerals Supply Chain
https://www.whitecase.com/publications/alert/new-us-climate-bill-seeks-bolster-domestic-critical-minerals-supply-chain
Consistent with these goals, the IRA includes several provisions aimed at bolstering domestic and regional production of critical minerals. These include (1) substantial revisions to the electric vehicle ("EV") tax credit to require regional sourcing of critical minerals used in EV batteries; (2) a new "advanced manufacturing" tax credit for domestic production of critical minerals; (3) a $500 million appropriation for "enhanced" use of the Defense Production Act, which President Biden recently invoked to support critical minerals production; and (4) new authorization for $40 billion in loan guarantees under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which could be used to support critical minerals projects. We provide an overview of these provisions below.
Quite possibly, and we are in discussions with them on this now. However, the ability of this program to fund critical minerals projects will depend upon what the Democratic leadership in Congress enacts in its appropriations bills, as new funding is required to cover the credit subsidy cost of these loans. In recent years, the Congressional appropriations process has been a very politically contentious with little bipartisan agreement on much of anything. Some opposition in the Congress has already quietly developed to the Administration’s proposal to expand this program’s traditional funding focus to include critical minerals mines, which it has not funded in the past. Regardless, it is not likely that funding levels for the credit subsidies used by these programs will be finalized until late this year, or into next year.
I will add that our team is very familiar with the DOE Loan Guarantee program, as we navigated this process some years ago. It is a very slow process and requires more than a year (for some projects) to complete. It also costs a great deal of money and resources in which to engage in this process – those costs can easily grow into the 7 figures. We continue to examine the possibilities here, however.
No decision has yet been made as to whether or not to submit a formal application to this program, as our primary financing focus has been on private sector sources.[/quote]

Appreciated Crit! Niobium & Titanium oxides for batteries ~"dots"~ tie directly into Toshiba, CCBM & a few new others like Nyobolt. Toshiba is far along in the process.
(Wonderful catch Crit I had to go back & listen to that again! Three times even lol!)
Also ties into Jims responses:
Please see Jim's response to questions posed for comment-3/17/2022
A) Could you comment on what the production of higher purity niobium & titanium could be utilized for once realized?
If the higher purity niobium and titanium intermediates that L3 was able to produce at bench-scale are replicated and proven at demonstration scale, this would put us in a position to more easily move to other products beyond those outlined in our 2019 Feasibility Study. Niobium oxide for use in Li-Ion batteries is one possible example, although the production of that product would require additional processing steps beyond the higher-purity niobium intermediate that we discussed in last week’s news release. The company is not yet in a position to make a determination on whether or not, and when, to possibly expand our Niobium product offering. Higher grade TiO2 could expose us to additional markets where higher margins could be obtained. But, again, we are not in a position to speak to those possibilities in any detail yet.
No, the processes we recently discussed occur in the earlier stages of the flowsheet, prior to any SX processing. We look forward to unveiling those details once these processes are verified at the demonstration plant level and once all associated work needed to complete an updated Feasibility Study is completed.
Great observations Crit. Thanks for sharing.
My take. Mark Smith looks very serious and determined. Good interview. Affirming responses.

Thanks for posting hetfield great stuff.

This is very unequivocal language from Mark and Scott regarding the upcoming production, the level of purity of said minerals and the benefits associated with the industrial use of the downstreamed metals and oxides.
Thank you for the highlights

AR.
Thanks Richard for catching that ProActive interview.
https://mailchi.mp/niocorp.com/newsmaker-interview-niocorps-mark-smith-and-scott-honan-on-ghg-reduction-potential-of-the-elk-creek-project?e=8b2b97c99e
Couple of highlights below where I've noted their positivity.
Note some of the key words used, holy grail, going to be, we are going to be, etc
At 4:40 minute mark, regarding application of niobium and titanium for EV batteries:
Scott says “its got this burgeoning application in solid state lithium ion batteries which is really why I think this is the holy grail of next evolution of batteries where your gonna get safer batteries that charge must faster”
At 10:10 minute mark: NioCorp is the 2nd largest indicated rare earths resource in the United States today.
This is going to be a significant producer of magnetic REEs and we are going to be producing them in the oxide form, which is not something that really many people in the world have been able to do successfully. We have a team of people at NioCorp that have decades of REEs experience including making the high purity oxide materials that are absolutely mandatory for the magnetic applications. So, this is a win win across the board and we need to be thinking about where we want to be 3, 4, 5 years down the road, and NioCorp is going to be a big part of that solution.
Consider Niocorp's GHG possibilities in addition to its ESG value!
(Niocorp will produce Critical Minerals (Nb,Sc,Ti,REE's) holding "Major" Value-added Carbon Neutral possibilities. Power & Fleet selection alternatives will also play a role. The current Demo-plant operations will complete the optimization of the Hydromet process. Working to confirm separation/production of REE's (if possible) for the final design/engineering decisions moving forward.)

L3’s optimized design for the flow sheet utilizes thermal treatment, ammonium chloride, and carbonation to break down the carbonate minerals in the mined ore and remove virtually all of the calcium and magnesium from the ore.
Possible Reductions in Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The improved design also regenerates the ammonium chloride consumed during the carbonation stage. Carbonation consumes carbon dioxide and reduces the GHG footprint of the prospective operation.
Recently, L3 was able to demonstrate that this carbonation step can produce a calcium and magnesium product that is 96%-97% pure. NioCorp intends to further evaluate the use of this product for underground mine backfill as well as to investigate its potential as a saleable byproduct.
The optimized design and carbonation process all utilize proven technologies and are not expected to introduce additional technology risk to the Project if they are implemented in the Project’s final design.
Not ‘in situ,’ as that implies injecting chemicals underground to perform the desired reaction. [color=red]The carbonization process we are testing may result in some carbon sequestration, depending upon whether and how we end up making more byproducts from the magnesium and calcium we remove from the ore. That is all still TBD
Thanks for update Richard! This is a 100% fluff PR but none the less it’s a PR. Management knows they need to show they are at the very least trying to promote $NIOCRP! Thanks again for posting Sir :)
$NIOBF dog days of summer
Demolition Man is a humble man who does not need to say how many shares he has only that he has more shares than most. Wink, Wink. DM is one of the biggest fans of $NIOBF but even DM has its limits. I will celebrate august and be a "cheer-leading" groupie like most of you and see what happens. DM is cut from a different cloth and has a hard time with just following the supposed "leaders" of $NIOCORP....But I too will have child like faith and spend this month playing underneath the sand...Hoping we all will have a nice month of PR's since July gave us zero news! Cheers my fellow $NIOBF fan club members! Lets do this and party hard!
I agree BM that "Financing is not going to happen until financiers see all this data." That is why I have been thinking October. Labor Day has been mentioned but since there has not yet been a PR about the Demo Plant operating maybe Thanksgiving is more realistic.
I think an intervening PR covering the REE reserve/resource could/should be possible soon after the PR about the L3 Demo plant starting operation.
Remember once the data is generated all of our 3rd party subs need to crank their part of the FS and all have to sign on before the PR announcing the 2nd 2022 FS can be issued. Of course the financing parties will be cranking their models before the FS's PR so a financing PR could come soon after the FS PR.
I hope all of us anxious shareholders and the financing parties keep in mind the fact that only a small part of the large ore body, the to be mined ore "blob", is currently covered by the FS. The actual size of the economically mineable ore body is unknown and is open in two directions, and at depth. The ore body does contain volumes that have richer and leaner percentages of Nb, Sc, TI, and REEs so the ultimate value is still unknown. Some selective ore extraction may be possible depending on market demand .
This is the first to me 10 Years of investing in NioCorp that I heard this suggestion. I guess this is how rumors get started, at ground zero.
Okay. I'll return to highly unlikely.
LOL GM & PM! Anything is better than that "graveyard indicator" you mentioned a while back! Yeesh huh....
Staying positive,,, waiting for the team to "Prove the Demo & complete a 2022 F.S.!" We will see soon enough if they are "Serious Contenders" for Finance/Pennant (A, B, C, D, E... whatever method works???)
Good questions!

You’re a big stockholder, big, big big
So you go on line and badmouth the management of the company. Interesting investment strategy!
I would be interested to hear how many shares you have if you think you own more than most on this board? People posting for the most part are the ones with lots of shares I’d tend to think including myself.
I own more shares then 95% of this board...Yes, I am big time believer in this mine
(for the rest of this month I will be a team player) Let's go boys and girls summer is almost over lets start digging!!
$NIOBF SUMMER FUN
I would not say zero chance stark, as CBMM has enough clout in the Niobium space to make certain negotiatory demands. With CBMM’s most recent upgrade in capacity, they have the capacity to produce all of the Niobium the world needs to 2040 I recently read on the net.
Also, As far as conspiratorial, or legality goes, don’t forget NioCorp is not Marks only company and his value in shares with NioCorp could be made up easily in negotiation, and us as shareholders would have nothing to do with.
In other words he could settle easily on a three dollar sale/diluted share price and make it up somewhere else, whereas we, who only hold NioCorp shares, would have no input.
JMO
Anyways, it’s August, and technically speaking I am positive
It sounds as though you are implying that CBMM is leveraging the personal connections it has with Mark Smith to block financing of the Elk Creek Project. Not only would that be unethical, I think it would be illegal as management and the board have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. Furthermore, Mark and other management and board members are shareholders. They stand to gain by having financing proceed. Allowing CBMM to block that makes no sense to me at all. It sounds like conspiracy theory stuff. My original response was that I think it is highly unlikely, but I will strengthen that to zero chance in my opinion. I don't think Mark takes orders from CBMM.
Big speculation. The Team proudly speaks of their niobium reserves.
Exactly why he might be ordered to do so....

NioCorp Developments Ltd. is a U.S.-based mineral development company focused on developing several superalloy metals from the proposed Elk Creek, Nebraska Critical Minerals Mine. NioCorp plans to produce three commercial mineral products — Niobium, Scandium, and Titanium — from a single ore body in the Midwestern United States. NioCorp's Elk Creek Project is highly unique. It is North America's only niobium / scandium / titanium project. It is the highest grade niobium project in North America. It is one of the largest prospective producers of scandium in the world. Once in production, it will initiate the first production in the U.S. in decades of Niobium and Scandium. All three of the Project's proposed superalloy metals have been designed as "Critical Minerals" by the U.S. Government.
NioCorp is a publicly company that is listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "NB" and on the U.S.-based OTCQX exchange under the symbol "NIOBF." Shares are also traded on the Frankfurt Exchange, under the ticker symbol "BR3."

Overview of the Elk Creek Project: http://www.niocorp.com/elk-creek-project/
U.S. Geological Society description of Elk Creek Carbonatite
"The Elk Creek carbonatite, located south of Lincoln, has the potential to be one of the largest global resources of niobium and rare-earth elements (REE). These REE's have many important applications in industry, including petroleum-cracking catalysis, steel alloying, and glass polishing, and as sources of permanent magnets and phosphorus for television and lighting.
The Elk Creek carbonatite is buried beneath about 500 feet of overlying rock and is known only from drill cores, which, until recently, have remained proprietary. Scientists from the USGS and the Conservation and Survey Division (CSD) of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska--Lincoln have studied drill cores."

About NioCorp
NioCorp is developing a superalloy materials project in Southeast Nebraska that will produce niobium, scandium, and titanium. Niobium is used to produce superalloys as well as High Strength, Low Alloy ("HSLA") steel, which is a lighter, stronger steel used in automotive, structural, and pipeline applications. Scandium can be combined with Aluminum to make super-high-performance alloys with increased strength and improved corrosion resistance. Scandium also is a critical component of advanced solid oxide fuel cells. Titanium is used in various superalloys and has extensive uses in aerospace, defense, transportation, medical, and other applications. It also is a key component of pigments used in paper, paint and plastics.
