It clearly says the board of directors is in complete support and that it will in no way effect his Niocorp duties as the CEO or they wouldn't have approved it. It's great we also have a former successful CEO in Joseph carrabba. Looks like largo stock will rise quickly lol
News just out that mark Is now also CEO of LARGO resources. As of April 1st.
NO, The Pea is not due until approx March 15th or so. As per the last Video interview

Chris Berry sees potential in energy metals uranium, scandium, cobalt
By: Alisha Hiyate
2014-06-16
Chris Berry, co-editor of Disruptive Discoveries Journal, believes the global economy is in for a period of disinflation or deflation – not a supportive environment for commodities.
“We see a lot of excess capacity in the global economy right now, we see an excess of labour, an excess of capital and an excess of dollars sloshing around in the global economy — all of which needs to find a home and be soaked up,” Berry told TNM TV news at the Canadian Investor conference in early June.
“And until that happens, we see a very challenging period for the commodities sector going forward.”
Berry, who writes the Disruptive Discoveries newsletter with his father Michael Berry, explains that a disinflationary or slow growth environment implies a cap on wages, living standards, and on the commodity demand that underpins such growth.
However, the ongoing trend toward a rising standard of living in the developing world, something Berry calls a “convergence of lifestyles” between the emerging world and the developed world, is still in place.
And for selective investors, there are still opportunities in commodities.
“I think you need to look individually at each commodity, look at its supply and demand dynamic, look at where it’s used today, look at next generation technology or uses, and try and formulate an idea going forward,” he said.
Energy metals such as uranium, lithium, graphite, copper and cobalt are a big part of Berry’s investment thesis.
"It has to do with the idea that no middle class has either grown or sustained itself throughout history without reliable access to affordable energy,” he said.
Berry is particularly interested in uranium, cobalt and the esoteric metal scandium.
“Scandium is a very, very tiny market – about 15 tones per year. There’s really no primary production, it all comes from either tailings or as coproducts elsewhere,” Berry said.
Despite its limited supply, there numerous high-tech applications for scandium, including solid oxide fuel cells and the aircraft business, where aluminum-scandium alloys can make planes lighter and more fuel efficient.
Berry says the potential growth in demand from solid oxide fuel cells alone is “supernormal,” and he believes scandium junior EMC Metals (TSX: EMC) could be poised to benefit.
While growth in the scandium market is predicated on a reliable source of scandium, that is what EMC hopes to be able to provide in the coming years, Berry said.
EMC primary project is the Nyngan scandium project in New South Wales, Australia.
[i]NIOCORP WILL BE IN PRODUCTION BEFORE EITHER OF THE OTHER 3 Juniors in with Scandium deposits and at a Much lower cost per KG

Scandium
John Kaiser: ‘There’s an Enormous Latent Demand for Scandium’
Thursday March 5, 2015, 6:50pm PS
At the 2015 PDAC International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange, Resource Investing News spoke with John Kaiser of Kaiser Research about his outlook for scandium and the broader metals markets. Kaiser is bullish on scandium, and spoke about what’s driving his predictions for the metal. While he admitted that there’s currently only about 10 tonnes of supply of the obscure metal, he pointed out that there’s more than just 10 tonnes of demand. “There’s an enormous latent demand for scandium if it ever became available on a primary, scalable basis,” he said, adding that hundreds and thousands of patents have been filed regarding scandium. With big deposits being found in Australia, the story could become more prominent in the near future, with a market driven by juniors rather than major mining companies. He also answered some questions raised by readers in response to an article on his recent presentation at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference in January, and spoke about Scandium International Mining (TSX:SCY), which he owns shares in and sees as the most advanced player in the space. In terms of other metals, Kaiser said he favors zinc and diamonds, and while he realizes copper has had some troubles, he suggested it could potentially move higher sooner rather than later.

Lincoln Journal Star
NioCorp Developments Ltd. announced Friday that it has received final approval for the listing of the company's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
NioCorp said its common shares will commence trading on the TSX at market open on Monday.
The Canadian company said it believes its move to the TSX, which is the leading stock exchange in Canada, will facilitate significantly more access to international and institutional investors and capital pools. Until now it has been listed on a subordinate exchange for smaller companies.
Niocorp has completed testing at a site near Elk Creek in Johnson County where it hopes to one day mine niobium, a rare metal used to produce lighter, stronger steel for use in automotive, structural and pipeline industries. Testing also showed the site contains scandium and titanium.
The cost of developing a commercial mine on the site has been estimated at at least $400 million.

You are so Right, once it gets on BNN's Top Picks, sky is the limit
Great close $1.11 :)
I say, when we get a Buyout over $6. or into production in 2017 and we are over $6 we all chip in .001% of our shares and build a solid Niobium, Scandium, Titanium, REE , 6 Foot Statue of Mark Smith?? Who is with me??
LOL
yes sir, I agree, already over 2.6 Million traded.
over 550K shares traded in first 30 mins, Gee, do you think we are getting noticed??? Haha wait tile after the PEA is released :)
$1.15 Now !!!!!!!!!!!!
Scotia Bank has bought so many shares in the last 10 Trading days , I cant even count that high!! Wow they are going to make a killing I bought 5K more today at. $1.05
BID $1.01
Great post! Pershing is almost 100% Belgium's SH
if they buy back even 50% which makes more sense than 100% we could jump .12 to.15 C today the ask is not deep
its now 203K at $1.hahaahaha dont sell let her run up and the TSX will take care of the rest.
80K on the BID at .95 C now
hahahaha LOL well lets hope the stars all line up. this year in the Chinese new year calender it is the Year of the "GOAT" and Its my year since I am the Goat in their calender ,so lets hope I dont get the Goat award LOL but that I get all the luck. It says August is my lucky month , so lets get a buyout in August !
When Mark spoke about the upcoming PEA, It was like confirmation is here. This really is the last time you will see the SP under $1.00 . after the PEA is released on the TSX in 10 days approx good luck trying to buy in at under $1.00. JMHO I'm not a pumper of this stock, I have done Massive DD. I was absolutely taken out to the shed and beat to death on a previous Junior mining dream project. What I have learned with my massive DD is lucky for me what we now have here. Proven CEO & management in former successful major companies. cash reserves for 18 months plus, a resource that is recession proof, and 2 Strategic Critical metal ( # 3 on the list) a 50% Offtake agreement from a massive German company, major advisors on board, a former USA senator on our board of directors, A major govt loan (Germany)approved, complete infrastructures in place for the mine, 100% local support, No enviromental issues to speak of, no permitting road blocks. a 40 plus year mine life. 3 resources that the world needs and a growing demand, other REE's that are to be announced ( IMHO) I can go on all night goof luck, i really hope you all hold for the Buyout. good night
Absolutely Fantastic video, Mark is "The King Of Confidence"!!Its true, what are the odds of having the "Steel & Niobium " and the "Aluminum & Scandium" Perfect Marriage. Lucky we all are to be here
