I’m confused about EXIM loan. So we won’t hear anything about EXIM loan status until January-March of 2024 timeframe? Is this correct? Why was I thinking it would be October-December of this year?
That right there is the problem Monocle, UNFORTUNATELY, "Mark thought he could sell" Mark couldn't sell his way out of a paper bag. Wake up people we have been sold a bill of goods thinking Mark is the right person for the job...I assume we can all agree at this point we have the wrong CEO in charge. Not sure about all of you but I care more about my investment then hurting Mark’s feelings. Mark it is time for you to go. I just assumed when I got into this investment almost a decade ago that a dry non charismatic leader is what is to be expected in the rare earth and critical mineral space...But then I went back to sales 101 and realized something that is still true to this day. People buy from people they trust and like...Mark has one of the two...But people do not trust him anymore. Hence, why Mark needs to have loan sharks fund this amazing mine that any other CEO would have funded years ago...You know like 2016???
Honestly, Mark and Jim need to do the right thing and resign. Most will be extremely happy once we cut the head off the snake. Let these rodeo clowns play and work over at IBC so they can continue to ruin IBC and leave NioCorp alone. All we ask, please make sure Scott Honan is the new CEO of NioCorp and hire a strong woman to do Jim Sims Job. I guarantee a strong women would run circles around jim sims plus not hide behind a computer all day. She would help get the word out about our amazing company and help be the face of NioCorp…You know Like a real winner would do! But in Jim sims defense he does have $338,371 reasons why he does not want to get rid of his cush job at Niocorp.
Dude, that is just the tip of the Iceberg on questions that NB management needs to answer.. jim sims hiding behind his computer and responding to a chosen few is enough reason to be concerned. Someone should let Jim know that his hiding act is not helping calm our nerves. Jim Sims is our Chief Communications Officer making $338,371 at Niocorp alone...Act like you give a damn Sims! Both Mark Smith and Jim Sims need to decide asap on where they are going to work. its either working at NB or IBC you clearly suck at doing both so now pick one and stick with it!!! Enough is Enough.
These odd share prices are very concerning....What was said at the last in-person $NB meeting in Belgium with shareholders present?? We had some trusted board members that attended the meeting, but none will provide what was discussed in detail. With the current state on where NIOCORP is at, we demand to know why Mark got his butt chewed out by Dean?? This news and other things discussed could be very relevant on what the heck is going on right now??? Nobody finds it strange that Mark gets yelled at by DEAN KEHLER “allegedly” from some posters at the meeting, yet we do not have the right to know what was said??? How is this not important information as current shareholders of Niocorp?? We need to know why is Dean mad?? Is Dean already giving up on Niocorp?? Is dean happy with the current state of Niocorp? Is Dean happy with Mark performance?? All very important questions that we have been left in the dark.
As shareholders we really need to have those transcripts of the Belgium meeting just to make sure everything is above board. Like all the well-informed posters say we must look out for our investment and do our DD very carefully. If only a few people are privy to this information in Belgium then how can we possibly do our DD on this very concerning matter?? This is very surprising because a lot of solid posters always talk about how Niocorp is the most Transparent team they have met….This does not sound very transparent to me….Did all that attended the Belgium meeting have to sign an NDA when being in the same room with Niocorp top brass?? Again, we need to know this because when confronted Mark always pulls out the NDA card and the conversation is over.
Hopefully those that attended this meeting can see why we are concerned especially with our share price dropping like it is. Personally, I trust this team 100% with not breaking any laws because Mark being a lawyer always seems to cover his ass. Mark created an environment where nothing can be discussed especially in private. We need those transcripts, or a recording of the Belgium meeting will also work. I assume at the very least this meeting was video recorded??? We as shareholders need to see what caused tempers to be flared. I really do hope and pray nothing bad happened at the Belgium meeting. Take care and thank you for helping with this pressing issue.
I for one will not pick you apart OmahaInvestor as I like you and most of your viewpoints. I have been brutally honest about Mark as our CEO for both $NB, $IBC or whatever other companies mark is currently trying to run. Again, I like Mark as a person and would buy him a nice dinner. But IMO, even management would admit they FUC*$D this whole mining project up royally with numerous ill prepared mistakes even a first time CEO would not make. We as shareholders screwed up by providing such a long leash and now, we must take them to the dance. Let's hope they do not slip on the dance floor or eat the turd in the punch bowl again and again lol. You have to laugh and say well at least this investment has been interesting because it sure as hell has not been profitable. Still hoping for EXIM, 3'rd and final Feasibilty study and other exciting news that will move the share price needle :) How we are close to trading in the share price range of the .30's again (pre-split) is so shocking to me I can only think this is a horrible dream/nightmare.
Hey Chico thank you for being our lifeline and point of contact for us all.....Many Kudos need to come your way. I hope management especially simms or whatever his name is gives you a big bonus for doing his job for free. You deserve all the accolades and high praise. I am starting to feel a little more confident that big news will happen in 2023! Unfortunately, we’ve been let down so many times before that my excitement has been tempered.
Haha, I thought so AO as you seem like such a great person. Anyway, Yesterdays PR was a nice start to potential good news. We need the EXIM financing to happen this year so we can start digging! I cannot fathom why this has taken management so long to get financing done. Let’s keep the PR momentum going because we cannot afford any delays from this management team.
AO,I like you buddy but please tell me you are not some loser crook financial advisor?? Please please tell me this is not what you do for a living? Oh, I did like the nice PR today let’s keep it going!
Love this mine and future potential but we should already be selling our product not begging for money. WTF is wrong with me, you and everyone else on this board for not speaking up years ago?? This team should have been fired even before all the recent F up’s. Seriously, has this team secretly brainwashed some very educated and successful individuals?? How have we let it get this out of hand?? Mark bankrupted one company and could very well do it again with multiple other companies…yet we are somehow shocked at where we currently stand with this project? I’m mad at myself for not being more vocal about lack of leadership. Can you imagine how far along we would have been with a full time CEO?? Or how far we would be with a CEO who did not have the baggage from the Molycorp days?? Mark is a Super nice guy but he’s a horrible CEO that should have been voted out years ago. Does this mean I have lost hope? Not in the slightest as I’m still a huge believer in this project. Imo, Niocorp is too big to fail. Unfortunately, even when mark gets us there we’ve already lost 5 years of our time, money and energy because this team chose to work in a limited capacity. How the hell can mark call himself a CEO yet work as a CEO for multiple other companies?? Why do we continue to let him get away with this??? Shame on me and shame on all of us for not calling Mark out years ago. This will be a very costly lesson and mistake as some won’t be around to see this mine come to fruition. This makes me so sad because some great people told me about NioCorp and Sadly, some have already passed away :(
This management team should be ashamed of themselves for being so far off on predictions, multiple missed timelines,Horrible spac deal, Horrible R/S deal, horrible financing deals, working part time ect. Ironically, what I said was obviously true because mark “allegedly” got a lashing from our new boss Dean at the Belgium meeting. For some odd reason those who attended won’t allow us to hear what was said at the secret meeting on mark performance issues?? -not hearing what was said is highly questionable at best. Why are we not allowed to hear about mark getting yelled at by Dean?? Do you all see how badly this sounds not being allowed to hear “everything” that was said at secret meeting in Belgium ? I’m positive nothing nefarious went on behind closed doors at the secret meeting but shouldn’t we be allowed to hear everything that was said? We are also $NB share holders unless Belgium stock shares are worth more than ours or do Belgium shareholders have more voting power than us folks in Canada or America? I wouldn’t think Belgium shares would have more power since NioCorp is an American company with offices in Canada as well. Does NioCorp have a corporate office in Belgium that I’m not aware of?
Thanks NorCalTommy, btw, I misspoke as I meant end of this year/early first quarter we hit $20 a share or $2 bucks however those want to look at it. I know I can be a huge complainer/pain in the ass sometimes so maybe I’m just trying to set my expectations so I don’t get hurt again? I guess I need to speak with my therapist about this issue lol. Sometimes it’s ok to be a little crazy within reason as it makes life fun and exciting . My only concern of us reaching $2 bucks or $20 bucks a share is that means we had a 500% jump in share price. It could happen and it would easily happened 2,3,4,5 years ago if our team would have been working diligently/full time on NioCorp vs treating us like a pet project/hobby. But this is where we are currently at so let’s hope for some incredible news to cause our share price to explode in multiple dollars.
th6565 You sound like such a wonderful person who should be admired. Age is just a number if you have your health and happiness to help other! Btw, Great job on dropping those loser financial advisors. They bring nothing to the table except our hard earned money they didn’t earn! Nobody should use an advisor and I mean nobody. Let’s keep passing the good word on! I’m getting excited as I really believe NioCorp gets financing done in 2023!!! A year from now we could be a $20+ a share stock. Then I will give management a pat on the back!! Just like the goat of boxing Terrance “BUD” Crawford Niocorp will be the next Champion in Nebraska!! Look... If you had... one shot... or one opportunity...
To seize everything you ever wanted... one moment...
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip? You better
You own it, you better never let it go (go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime! Go NioCorp Go!!
Interesting, so a thief likes to get robbed by another thief?? It’s proven you are a joke profession. Nobody with a brain would use an advisor. You are as useless as the 'ueue' in the word 'Queue'. Let me give you and everyone a little example that should be passed on when thinking about using a useless advisor like the joke of a human lcp77. Stay in your lane old man…Stay in your lane.
The difference in these percentage commission fees doesn't sound like much, but it can really add up over the years. Take these three hypothetical friends: Joe, Tyler and David each invest $100,000 in a mutual fund at age 35. Each account earns an annualized return of 8%, but the accounts charge annual fees of 1%, 2% and 3%. David paid 3% and has $432,194 in assets at age 65. Tyler paid 2% and has $574,349 for retirement. Joe paid 1% and is the big winner, with $761,225 saved for retirement.
Solution: be your own advisor. These losers are either golfing or at the strip club spending your hard earned money.
Hey old man! Ya I’m talking to you!!! Was it a tough day on the golf course? I would rather have a cat than any loser financial advisor trade my hard earned money for me. Financial advisors your time is almost up. Nobody trust your Industry anymore. Bye bye crooks. If you are a financial advisor you are either a Jeffery Epstein type or a Bernie Madoff type of person.

Great find stark12, Where did you find this or how did you find this is the better question? Is this a paid advertisement by Jim and mark or did the publication The Spy Who Billed Me write it?? Either way we need to be doing this weekly at a minimum to get the word out to the public. Nice Job Stark12!
Thanks Dude, I was just killing time wondering what you and others thought/guesses when we get the EXIM?? Also, you and others thoughts on demonstration news updates? I am saying we hear something this month as I gotta feeling. Also hoping/praying the feasibility study is done no later then October. I want that little red shovel in the ground before winter please 😊
As the legend Tom Pettty sang, The waiting is the hardest part....
"Every day you see one more card.
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart.
The waiting is the hardest part"
Does anyone have an idea when $NB will hear something on $800 million dollar approval by EXIM bank?? I love that we justy secured $10 million in federal funding to support commercial production of aluminum-scandium (“AlSc”) master alloy production in the U.S. Now with the $800 million form EXIM we would need only $190 million to reach the $1 Billion to build the entire mine is this correct? Am I missing something on additional money needed for mine construction? BTW I noticed below it says "FY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act " will Niocorp have to wait until 2024 to receive the $10 million?
FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act regarding the strategic importance of scandium, as well as securing $10 million in federal funding to support commercial production of aluminum-scandium (“AlSc”) master alloy production in the U.S.
NorcalTommy, If you or someone else would have told me in late 2023 $NB share price would be trading at pre-split .42 a share usd levels......I would say 2 things? 1. I would call you a liar because no way on God's green earth is that going to happen. 2. I would also ask did something bad happen like a sudden death , or they found toxic poison near the area. Fortunately, none of those things happened except we have the worst CEO running a business he has zero business running. Mark who is a good decent guy but has such a tainted name in the industry for his massive failures people find it hard to trust him. We have a world class mine and "anyone" not connected with Mark and Jim would have had this mine up and running years ago...People simply are having a hard time trusting this management team. NO, I do not think it's fair because a few of these were out of our team's control. IMO, we had an excellent PR yesterday and the market responds with zilch? Yes, I strongly believe we will have this mine built even with the arrogance of our current team. We are too big to fail but can you imagine if we had a 'REAL" CEO who was not as arrogant as Mark Smith running the show?? Think about this people. mark and jim were so cocky and arrogant they believed they could work part time for us while being paid like full-time employee?? Why did we all not call this team out years ago?? Why did we let them get away with murder for so many years??? I am kicking myself for not asking mark directly in person why he thought working part time they could pull this major project off. Mark's mistakes of not working for 'US" the shareholders have already cost us over a half a decade in earnings. We will never get that time or money back all the while this team was living like kings.
BTW, if one red cent of the $10 million dollars in Federal Funding for U.S. Aluminum-Scandium Master Alloy Production goes towards paying mark and Jim's salary we all should lose our shit!

C'mon old men shouldn't you be happy that you are retired? Well at least WalterC deserves his retirement as he did it the ethical way(not being a scum bag financial advisor like lcp77)....Anyway boyz take your metamucil get on your little rascal scooters and head to the golf course with your tiny sticks and the little ol' ball lol...BTW, when using your gitterbug phone you can let me know where to meet for dinner at 2:30 in the afternoon lol. FYI, all I ask is tone it down on your bengay and icy hot cream as that stuff stinks. Should we meet at Golden Corral or get crazy and try Shoney’s or Sizzler???
Ya NorCal, I am just as frustrated as you with the horrendous management team F- Up’s as this is not the way to run a business. We have a World Class mine that will change the world. IMO, we have been more then patient with all the missed deadlines and -75% share price value drop. The good news: As horrible as this team is and they are horrible I believe we are too big to fail. America and both sides of the isle finally realize we need the stuff we have in the ground. Unfortunately, we are being punished by all the past sins of mark and jim destoying Molycorp and its bankruptcy. It is not fair, but such is life. Hoping mark has one more trick and not just a one trick pony.
It’s almost 11:00 pm old timer. Shouldn’t your drunk ass be heading to bed soon?
Gotta give you major props man!! Excellent find :) I would love to get that big time PR saying $NIOCORP financing is in let the digging begin!!!
What does this mean though?? Are they saying Grant like a GOVT grant DOE, OR DOD or someting else ??
"The project will be funded with
Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funding and local resources."
First off it’s very easy to locate anyone anywhere if you want to waste your time doing so. Hell, even you old timers with some help can figure it out. That being said let’s stop acting like keyboard tattle tale Warriors lol Most of you have not been in a fight and would get beat down by a 4th grader so stop with the tough guy act and innuendos. You are only embarrassing yourselves as a lot of you struggle just to get out of bed lol . That being LCP77 you are a piece of work and lets not forget a bad financial advisor at best. I do find it humorous that once LCP77 feels “threatened” he hides and tattle tales on others for protection. But what else would you expect from a soft financial advisor lol. Wait a minute maybe that’s why financial advisors golf all the time instead of watching over clients money during the day?? They have to feel like a man somehow so they play with little sticks and hit a tiny ball in a hole lol hate to break it to you old farts golf is one step above playing checkers or uno.
Have a heart man! The guy is clearly suffering and does not need you being an ass! Seriously, Mike Tyson said it best. "Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." -Mike Tyson
So sorry for the tragedy you have endured. Prayers being sent out for you and your family. As for you ALDRADJKD123…. Pride comes before the fall old man!
Hey, is this the company that mark smith bankrupted years ago?
https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/mp-materials-profit-beats-starts-some-rare-earths-refining-2023-08-03/
Well maybe lighting Will strike twice for Mark and us…No, not mark bankrupting yet another company I’m saying we get a $77 a share like run that happened at $MP a looooooong time ago. Even though smith is as old as dirt I hope he has one last trick up his sleaze I’m mean sleeve.
BTW, who is Ms. Danmei Cai?? Or Ms. Bo Liu?? How can we reach them as well? This is the info on people below: How do we track them down??
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/KYNC/profile?p=KYNC
Ms. Danmei Cai CFO, Principal Accounting Officer & Director
Ms. Bo Liu Sec. & Director
Mr. Rick Wilson Chief Exec. Officer
Mr. Don Yarter Chief Strategist
Nope, It goes straight to voicemail....Anyone have Rick's wife phone number or emails address? How about Don or Chris wife/partners ect.. or any of the F-Heads contact information? We more then likely need to confront them in person. Any ideas would be more then welcome...If we do not take a stand they will continue to do this to others. FYI, I am headed to Vegas in October...I believe one of the crooks live there.
Thanks, Brah, Let’s hope they get a lot more done behind the scenes in 2023! We are really missing the boat here. We all know the potential of this incredible project!! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!
AO, I always appreciate your positivity and I need some now with us trading at .46 a share pre-split price. What do you see happening within the next 30-90 days?? Can you or anyone provide some insight? What are the chances of us breaking ground in 2023?
LOL I just spit out my coffee on your post laughing so hard. Thank you for starting my day off with a belly laugh PUTZ: )
TEDRO and crap financial advisor LCP77 need to go back into hiding again for another 3 years.
You are correct! My thought was I want “Everyone” especially those that led this ship from the get-go to be handsomely rewarded so they can see the fruits of their labor. I still feel bad for the great people on here who have passed on. They didn’t get to see what will become a reality for us. Still not a fan of management but Hope mark can right all his wrongs so all will be forgiven! Cheers and stay cool everyone it’s a hot summer! I’m hoping it gets much hotter for NioCorp investors especially the true longs wink :)
So hoping you are correct! Even if people hate this company nobody can deny all the positive NR’s we have had as of late. Something is keeping this share price down for whatever reason. I would think it’s only a matter of time before our share price explodes with the right news! I want this to be a home run very soon. I’m Especially rooting for the older folks on this message board. Those reaching retirement age and the elderly in their 70’s who don’t have much time left! Every day when we get the opportunity to wake up we hit the Powerball! A lot of posters on here are running out of Powerball days so I want this mine to start sooner rather than later for them!!
Way to cover your backside Walter lol Nothing like getting your hand caught in the cookie jar ....You and management seem super close and tight. What is that old saying?? "birds of a feather flock together” Why would "you" a guy with zero ties to management besides "meeting" with them in a foreign country would say "stay tuned"???? Hey, Still waiting for those transcripts from you or management so we the “peasants” can see what was said and done at the Belgium meeting??? Like the great Song by C+C Music Factory “Things That Make You Go Hmmmm”….
https://www1.salary.com/NIOCORP-DEVELOPMENTS-LTD-Executive-Salaries.html
Putz you nailed it with your response! Your post needs to be highlighted and reason number 2,349 why Mark Smith and sims need to be fired asap! I am sure brilliant Walter will attempt to spin why losing 10-20 years and 90% of our investment is a “good” thing for us little peasants. Must be nice having an inside track to NioCorp management :(
Maybe we all should move to Belgium to be part of secret intimate or should I say “imminent” behind closed door meeting as well.
You thinking BTC target of $100,000 in 2024?? I think we hit $120,000 for a hot second in 2024!!
So, the bar has been set this low we are now hoping for the "Niocorp share price to reach $10+ in 6 months"? Seriously, management must be laughing at these posters on this board...C'mon Dude, I am not trying to be mean but if $10 dollars is the bench "mark" WTF are we even doing here??? We already have a black "Mark" stain on this company because mark is our current CEO. Not sure if you are aware but mark already did a 1-10 reverse split....For example, in a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse split, shareholders receive one share of the company's new stock for every 10 shares that they owned. Each new share would be worth ten times that of the shares before the split. In simple math our share price should never be lower than $10 dollars a share....As we sit right now magic mark has destroyed our company share price in the 1:15 or 1:16 R/S range depending on the day....Now again, Can someone tell me why Mark is so "respected" on this board or the mining community?? I am sure the folks at MP mine( mark bankrupted this company) do not view him as an expert. I am sure the folks invested in IBC( now down -80%) do not view mark as an expert and I am sure as hell some folks at NB( we are down -70% share price from out ATH several years ago) do not view mark as an expert either. My feelings on Mark that he is a good guy but horrible CEO. I will leave you with this encouraging nugget. For how bad mark is at his job I believe anyone can make this mine happen because its too big to fail. We are in the sweet spot and its only a matter of time before the GOVT must step in and save the day. It is Ironic how some posters many moons back said they want nothing to do with any government help whatsoever…Who would have thought big GOVT will be one of the reasons why this mine will be built. I firmly believe a “REAL” CEO or someone with sales experience that worked at least 40 hours a week for Niocorp would have found us financing. Think about this, during the covid pandemic major and small banks gave money out like candy to any business. I mean "any" business ….How Mark still needed loan shark type lenders told me everything I needed to know about his horrendous sales and closing skill abilities. But again, at this point anyone even below average CEO’s will be able to get this mine built because its too good of an opportunity to fail. Cheers all lets make it a great day 😊
Thanks, DakotaBoy. I wonder when $NB would be in line to receive some sort of GOVT FUNDING for DOD or DOE contract?? You thinking late 2023 or will it be in 2024?? IMO, nothing has helped move the needle, but a GOVT contact would do wonders not only for worldwide exposure but assurance that this mine will be built.
IMO, larger institutional investors will join the party with this kind of news. It amazes me that “OTHER” mining companies like TMRC, MP, LYNAS just to name a few had its big share price jump moment everyone except Niocorp?? It's cleary obvious Mark has left such a bad taste in the mining sector that most people do not trust the guy anymore. I hope I am wrong, but this mine is shovel ready with permits in hand and he still cannot make a dent. Let's pray that Mark can make these people believers again but knowing it will be uphill battle with mark's horrendous track record and bankruptcy of media darling MP mine. One thought would be to remove Mark Smith's tainted name as our CEO and have him in advisor role with zero decision making capabilities. One would think this is the primary reason why our share price never goes up. We will always have a "BLACK MARK" associated with this company. The same goes for IBC as Mark is assoicated with them as well. Just my two-cents and I hope I am wrong because Mark as a person does seem like a good guy.
I am sure the mark crowd will come to his defense and that is fine but just ask yourself one question. Why does mark have to beg for money from loan shark lenders and companies like GXII(if you can even call GXII a real company). 99% of most CEO's would of been fired on the spot with the GXII debacle. On the positive front I do believe we are getting closer to financing and think it will be in 2023.
Thanks Nebraskan for the info!
Super confused. It is almost August and the 4th quater is coming soon. Were we not supposed to have complete DEMO RESULTS and Feasibilty Study results done way sooner??? I am asking because I forgot what management said about this? Last year I could of sworn management said late 2022 or early 2023 am I correct with this or way off?? Either way I would love it if we can get back to a share price of $1.50 range from pre-split and pre-spac levals.
Tedro84, is back from the dead after a 3 year sabbatical. We all thought you were left for dead after mark silenced you. Did the NDA expire? Why now do you choose to grace us with your presence? What have you been up to in the last 1,100 days? Are you now a $NB buyer since the share price has been obliterated with Mark Smith at the helm. The board members are saying now is an incredible buying opportunity to gobble up some cheap shares. What do you think? I would be a buyer but I am tapped out currently. I still think this will be a great mine and incredible opportunity for the young people on here. Not so much for the oldies but hey they had a great life. Even though NB is ran by one of the nations worst CEO's in the mining industry today I still like our chances.
