NIOCORP DEVELOPMENTS Stock Analysis
Buy candidate since 2018-02-08 Gain 0.13%
NIOCORP DEVELOPMENTS lies in the lower part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this will normally pose a very good buying opportunity. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 39.2% during the next 3 months and, with 90% probability hold a price between $0.60 and $0.95 at the end of this period.
Evaluation
We think that today's level holds a possible buying-opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period. We have upgraded our recommendation for this stock since last evaluation from a Sell Candidate to a Buy Candidate.
Very happy to read. GLTA :)
Why not change the name Niocorp into Scandicorp .. just a tought :) lol
The negociations in the White House and trust from Lind will make this a GREEN day :) Lol
This is excellent news, is proof of enormous confidence in Nio by Lind. EOM
NioCorp could benefit from recent White House order, says HC Wainwright
Broker HC Wainwright has repeated a 'buy' on superalloys group NioCorp Developments Ltd (TSE:NB) on the back of recent progress.
That includes the executive order from the White House just before Christmas, aimed at expediting production of critical minerals in the USA and called for a list of such minerals within 60 days.
The broker reckons all the critical minerals expected to be produced at the firm's Elk Creek project in Nebraska, namely niobium, scandium, and titanium meet the qualifications to various degrees and could be selected under the order.
Moreover, NioCorp and IBC recently announced the successful production of numerous aluminum-scandium alloy ingots, which has potential for the aerospace and transport industries.
Analysis has also shown that scandium use in the airline industry could also boost profitability, said HC Wainwright analyst Heiko F Ihle.
The broker also hiked the price target on the stock to C$1.20 from C$1.10 previously.

Excellent news
GLTA
Totally agree 3 $ with no financing and triple with financing, but why is the PPS still a this lowest level, project is de-risked, feasibility study finished, if 3,0 USD would be the price for buy-out, everybody should be buying at this moment, but is not happening ... any one can give an explanation ?
My opinion is that they have NOW a bid for a buy-out, but it is not high enough for Mark, he wants to make us ALL happy :)

Holidays are over and big boys are getting a seat on board. GLTA
Bid 0.63 CAD right now, love GREEN
Bid now from 201500 shares at 0.56 CAD ... something is happening?
Frankfurt + 6.22 % and 100000 shares traded, going green today EOM
Indeed we see green again in Frankfurt + 3.64 %, I know others who will buy also today...
One German shareholder sold yesterday 500000 shares and caused a panic reaction, is the only reason I see, nothing more or less.
A tsunami from emotions which I understand. Nobody knows the reason why, but I can asure that this has nothing to do with Niocorp.Today I see in Frankfurt two buy orders 80000 shares, so in my opinion a buy opportunity for all.
Leaving in holidays now with a good feeling.

Following Release of the FS:
Allow me to publish Mark his letter to all shareholders in March 2017.
We are still on schedule and lots events are in the pipe-line.
As Mark mentioned, thanks for all your patience.
Keep this in mind.

Community and Investor Outreach, Project Permitting, Project Finance, and Construction Launch
Once we publicly release the detailed FS documents, we will continue work on and we will kick things into high gear on a number of elements of the Project:
• Community and Investor Outreach: Soon after we release the high-level findings of the FS, we will launch a number of public and investor outreach programs to communicate the results from the FS. These will include:
A conference call with investors from around the globe to walk through the FS’s findings and discuss next steps in moving the Project forward.
A southeast Nebraska Town Hall meeting (to which you certainly are invited) where we will walk through the FS and our plans for the Project in extensive detail.
Briefings to potential customers, downstream industry representatives, public policymakers and regulators, and many other current and future stakeholders in the Project.
• Permitting: We expect to file for and obtain approval this year from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for a Nationwide Permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act that will cover both our surface processing facilities and the waterline that we intend to construct to the Missouri River. This permitting pathway will require neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement
which is a very big and a very positive change from what we had assumed in our October 2015 Preliminary Economic Assessment. This more streamlined permitting process was made possible by Scott’s team’s ability to reduce our likely impacts on wetlands and other federally regulated waters to such low levels that the Project does not require such reviews. This is a direct result of spending more time and resources in conducting our FS. The USACE permit is the only federal permit we need to secure for this Project, which is another aspect of this Project that differentiates it from many other mining projects. There are a number of state and local permits we are working to secure, and I anticipate success in all of those efforts.
• Project Finance: The effort to finance the Project will kick into high gear after release of the detailed FS documents. Actually, I have been engaged for many months in preliminary discussions with major investment groups across several continents. At this stage, I can report that potential investment interest in our Project is high, assuming that our FS findings, prospects for sale of our commercial products, and other factors are considered attractive to investors. Institutional investment funds and lenders will go through our FS documents in great detail, and they will challenge us on virtually every point of the FS as part of their due diligence process. Fortunately, we have been through this process before and we know what to expect and how to prepare. This is yet another reason why it is critically important that a project’s FS be done with great attention to detail and accuracy, and by teams who are veterans of this process.
One major element of our financing package is a potential low-interest loan guarantee from the German government through its Untied Loan Program. Because of the fact that we secured a commercial offtake agreement for up to 50% of our Ferroniobium with German-based ThyssenKrupp, the Project has received in-principle eligibility approval under this program. The next step in this process is to have German loan guarantee program officials review our detailed FS documents.
• Construction Launch: While the launch of construction activities in Nebraska is contingent upon many factors – sufficient permitting approvals and sufficient access to capital resources, to name two of the biggest – my hope is that we can begin construction activities by the end of 2017 or in calendar Q1 of 2018. The expected length of construction period and launch of commercial construction will be outlined in detail in our FS. But, believe me, I intend for us to push forward on all of these fronts as rapidly as we can.
Thank You for Your Patience and Support

Thanks Grunt .... will hang it on my wall :) A good one ...

Just a tought : Why is there a private placement for 0.65 CAD/SHARE + WARRANT and not 0.70 CAD or 0.75 CAD, would be better for the stock price during the coming two weeks... have seen this now several times ...not really a present for the longs here ...
Just a few important toughts for the coming months :
The cash
FS costprice was 33,8 million was 0,8 million surplus
There is a loan from Mark Smith 2 million to be paid back in one year
They have 10-15 people working right now on the pay-roll
How much cash is there left?
Private placements: we had enough the past two years
So at my opinion the best would be a buy-out within 6 months.
Will be easier to find a buyer for all the project then a banker to finance 1000 million
Would like to read your comments
Thanks
Nioman
I stay confident in Mark and his team, this little dip will means nothing in a few months. … once the bankable study is finished in exactly 45 days, the institutionals will come on board and will fight for a seat. I am in a few years and didn't sell one share until today. I stay relax in my seat and have full trust in this project and don't forget possible buyers are watching for a buy-out.

Cheers
I would prefer tomorrow before opening and a trading stop until next wednesday , would be perfect

Al we can do is sit and wait drink a wine and relax :)
BARCHART STRONG BUY
The Barchart Technical Opinion rating is a 80% Buy with a Strongest short term outlook on maintaining the current direction. Will be soon 100 % at my opinion.
Longer term, the trend strength is Maximum. Long term indicators mostly agree with the trend.
Wow, I see a bid from 100000 at 0,76 at TSX ....
Hi Spunkmeyer, on which site can we see this ...thanks
Why they don't do a picnic at Elk Creek with those guys ....Omaha is so close to Elk Creek ... I invite myself too ... LOL :)

Lowest volume ever at OTC, never seen this before .At my opinion a very good sign . Even small investors are not selling any more and buying pressure will only get bigger day by day.
Think now is silence before the BIG storm … meaning everybody will run in a few days to get shares from Niocorp. The only thing we can do is get a good chair in our JET and fast up your seat belts for a nice flight.

I found this about Haywood ...
Haywood Securities' Equity Capital Markets (ECM) division is pivotal in connecting Haywood clients to profitable investment opportunities. The group handles all aspects of the marketing, distribution, and reporting of new issues that are either sourced through Haywood or other Canadian IIROC member firms.
The Equity Capital Markets division provides clients with Initial Public Offerings, Secondary Offerings and a variety of Private Placements that are related to our core competencies of mining, oil and gas, technology, biotechnology and special situations.

Remember that RPM ,a highly regarded international mineral resources consulting and engineering firm, served as Lenders’ Engineer for the China Molybdenum Company’s 2016 purchase of the Anglo-American Catalao Niobium mine in Brazil, where RPM provided acquisitions due diligence sold for 1.5 billion, with only a lifte time mine from 8 years, here we have 32 years life time (only niobium) without even the scandium and titanium, so 6 billion dollars with 200 million shares .. think we are on the right boat, with MS as captain, I will stay untill we arrive at the harbour ... thats my thought about Nio .. everybody must to his own DD :)
Cheers and GLTA
Yes indeed, in Frankfurt we are up 11.60 %, excited to see opening at TSX ... I expect even more ... my seatbelts are fasted ... ready for a ride going NORTH :)

NioCorp Issues Update on its Elk Creek, Nebraska Superalloys Project
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (June 1, 2017) – NioCorp Developments Ltd. (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (TSX: NB; OTCQX: NIOBF; and FSE: BR3) announces recent developments regarding its Elk Creek Superalloy Project (the “Project”).
The Company reconfirms its current plan to issue a press release conveying the top-level results of the Project Feasibility Study (“Feasibility Study”) by the end of the second calendar quarter of 2017. The NI-43-101 compliant report containing the details of the Feasibility Study is expected to be released within 45 days of public release of the Feasibility Study’s top-level results.
The Company announces that elements of the Feasibility Study related to engineering and materials characterization work have recently increased beyond earlier estimates. The Company now estimates that the total cost of completing the Feasibility Study has increased by approximately US$0.8 million above the estimate provided in the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Total estimated cost of the Project Feasibility Study is approximately US$33 million, of which approximately US$32 million had been spent as of March 31, 2017.
As previously disclosed, the Company’s current planned operational needs require additional financing. In that regard, the Company previously announced a bought deal short form prospectus offering of units on May 16, 2017 (the “May 2017 Offering”). The settlement of the May 2017 Offering, and the Company's receipt of proceeds therefrom, will not occur until (i) the Company files a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 to register the resale of the securities underlying the units and (ii) such registration statement is declared effective. Any delay in the settlement of the May 2017 Offering, or the Company's inability to settle the May 2017 Offering, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.
The Company announces that results from its mine backfill material testing program have demonstrated backfill strengths that exceeded the design criteria set as part of the Elk Creek mine design. Backfill testing is the final material testing program required prior to release of the Project’s Feasibility Study. Backfill is used to fill voids that are created by underground mining. NioCorp plans to utilize a material comprised of waste material (“tailings”) produced during the Superalloy production process combined with fly ash and/or cement. Incorporating mining waste material into backfill operations helps to reduce the amount of tailings that have to be stored in above-ground impoundments. Updates to capital expenditure and operating expenditure estimates included in the October 2015 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“Oct. 2016 PEA”), however, depend upon a number of factors and will not be determined until all remaining work is complete on the Feasibility Study.
The Company reiterates its previously announced expectation that it expects to receive U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) authorization, on or before June 19, 2017, for construction of all of the Project’s proposed 33-mile waterline from the Project site to the Missouri River except the mine water outfall mechanism to be located in the River. This waterline authorization is expected to be granted under the USACE’s Section 404 Nationwide Permit program, which does not require a case-specific environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”), such as an Environmental Assessment (“EA”) or an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”). The Company also reiterates that, in line with previous announcements, its proposed underground mine, surface processing facilities, and tailings impoundment are estimated to result in zero permanent impacts to any federally jurisdictional waters, and thus the Company does not anticipate a need for a discretionary permit from the USACE or NEPA-level analysis such as an EA or EIS.
The Company announces that it has been notified by the USACE that additional authorization will be required under Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Appropriations Act (33 USC 408) (Section 408) for the mine water outfall mechanism in the Missouri River. The USACE’s Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project (BSNP) includes a series of rock revetments located along the banks of the Missouri River. The proposed outfall structure would be constructed adjacent to these revetments. Section 408 authorization is designed to ensure that the diffuser structure does not adversely affect USACE regulated structures currently in the River, such as these BSNP structures. The 408 authorization only involves the outfall structure itself, and not the waterline’s discharged water, which is governed by State of Nebraska permitting authorities. The 408 authorization may require a case-specific environmental analysis, such as an EA or an EIS, or it may be able to proceed under categorical exclusion provisions in the USACE’s Section 408 program, which would not require completion of either an EA or an EIS. NioCorp is working with the USACE to determine how to most efficiently proceed with this permitting process.

Hello, can some one tell me what the lifetime from this mine is. Thanks
Yes Indeed but Mackie bought for 1000000 CAD shares and received also warrants at 0.65 CAD
So at my opinion they will sell shortly lots of shares starting at 0.70 and only hope it will not put a pressure on the stock, because its more then 1 million shares they just bought at a that cheap price
My opinion is they will sell shorty and execute the warrants so its even double profit in a short time,
well done

Mackie sold 7500 shares at opening for 0.70 ... they are making profit at once ...

Landmark thanks for your comment, I have the feeling it will be for next week, so hold on, fast up your seat belts and we will enjoy this ride together :) CHEERS

Thanks for all support especially Landmark and Walter who made big efforts to keep every body smiling. Wish you all happy coming days. (lol)
I feel the same and had moments to sell … in for 4 years now but something tells me hold on, I don't want to mis the firework … but agree the communication could be much better … only PP'S and no news about nothing is frustrating …
If there will be again a delay I am out ...
Can some one tell how much warrants expire in november 2016 ... how many warrants with value 0.65 exactly, and how many are left ?
