Scandium
“Launch of Phased Commercialization of Aluminum-Scandium Master Alloy”
? As a transition metal, Sc containing Al alloys result in the formation of a supersaturated solid solution upon solidification; no need to quench thus resulting in distortion of cast parts
? High specific strengthening effect: Scandium provides the highest increment of strengthening per atom percent of any alloying element when added to aluminum.
? Inhibition of recrystallization: It increases the recrystallization temperature of Al alloys to above 600°C, well above the temperature range of heat treatable aluminum alloys
? Grain size refinement: It is a strong modifier of cast structure, and the addition of scandium makes it possible to obtain continuously cast billets with a non-dendritic structure
? Better fatigue life: Addition of Sc to high-strength Al-Mg-Zr led to a 55% incremental increase in fatigue life
? Improved resistance to hot cracking and improved corrosion resistance
? Potential use of Sc to boost the properties of twitch-based Al alloys, and circularize the Al used in automobiles.

I’t would be VERY interested to KNOW — what the European Stock-holders are thinking about this current “TUMBLE” ?? ( are they in contact with Jim Sims or Mark Smith??)…
and notwithstanding all the ‘Nebraskan investors’…of which there must be many thousands of Stock-holders …
It seems odd to me that we hear next to nothing from our European investors?, many which are (HEAVY-HITTERS) …Hmmm?
I will leave it for now!

Does anyone know when the Company Holidays are OVER ???
We need to STOP the BLEEDING before it’s too late …
Would anyone care to speculate on what COMES first — ( the “2023 Feasibility study) or “the EXIM-BANKING” ?? )
As I have stated thousands of TIMES !
‘Timing is of the Essence’ and “Timing is Everything”!!!

M. Smith is catching ‘SHIT’ from all corners NOW!!
Time for “TRANSPARENCY” (share-price has fallen to a 52 week low) ???
When do we hear about results “REGARDING” the EXIM- Bank (approved, not approved??)!

I've looked at the different times of your posts.
judging from the times: I have found out, that you post from a different time zone
than from an american time zone.
rather a time zone at the height of Beijing.

SCANDIUM: Limited Supply But Very Large Latent Demand
Scandium
? Forecast demand (117 tpy by 2026) greatly exceeds current supply (25 tonnes/year)1 and exceeds NioCorp’s potential annual scandium production.
§ Solid oxide fuel cell use of Scandium (?22 tpy) forecast to grow at 23% CAGR1
§ Aerospace + industrial use in 2022 (?5 tpy) forecast to reach 50tpy over next 5 years1
? Momentum building in the market, with new pilot production from Rio Tinto2 and planned production from others.
? Potential in EV/Automotive: Net pounds of aluminum per light duty vehicle is forecast to increase from 459 lbs. in 2020 to 570 lbs. in 2030,3 representing a large potential for scandium use in
aluminum-scandium alloys, even at low overall penetration; just 10% of this volume using 0.1% scandium would mean 700 tons/year scandium demand.1

About NioCorp’s Application Process
EXIM’s “Make More in America” initiative allows companies to apply to EXIM for a project finance letter of interest, which letter indicates EXIM’s willingness to consider a financing application for a given transaction. In February 2023, NioCorp applied to EXIM for a project finance letter of interest and, following a preliminary review of the Elk Creek Project to determine whether it met the basic criteria for a potential debt financing by EXIM, EXIM issued the Letter of Interest. NioCorp expects to submit a Final Commitment Application to EXIM to begin Phase I of the underwriting process as soon as possible. The application will require detailed information and analysis from NioCorp regarding the Elk Creek Project, the Feasibility Study prepared by independent qualified persons for the purposes of estimating mineral resources and reserves at the Elk Creek Project, supply and offtake agreements, project costs, annual financial statements, financial model and assumptions, market information, principal risks and benefits, and insurance coverage. Phase I of the underwriting process would involve due diligence by EXIM and their advisors and the payment of certain fees and expenses by NioCorp. If the Phase I evaluation process is satisfactorily completed, EXIM will issue a preliminary project letter, indicating whether or not EXIM is prepared to move forward on a financing offer, as well as the general terms and conditions of such offer, based on the information available at the time of application. After the issuance of a preliminary project letter indicating that EXIM is prepared to move forward on a financing offer, NioCorp and EXIM would commence a second phase (“Phase II”) of due diligence, involving additional fees payable by NioCorp, before EXIM determines if it will provide a final commitment of financing. The process from submission of a Phase I application to a final commitment of financing by EXIM, if any, is expected to take six to nine months. Even if NioCorp ultimately receives a final commitment from EXIM for up to $800 million of project financing, NioCorp would still require additional financing to fund the estimated capital costs expected to be required to complete development of the Elk Creek Project and advance it to the production stage.

NioCorp Praises U.S. House Armed Services Committee For Highlighting the Importance of Aluminum-Scandium Master Alloy
National Defense Authorization bill specifically highlights potential scandium oxide production in Nebraska
New focus on scandium in Washington coincides with NioCorp’s recent launch of phased commercialization of aluminum-scandium master alloy
NioCorp envisions potentially developing a vertically integrated mine-to-master alloy scandium supply chain in the U.S.
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (July 13, 2023) – NioCorp Developments Ltd. (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:NB) (TSX:NB) is praising the U.S. House Armed Services Committee (“HASC“) for highlighting the importance of aluminum-scandium master alloy to the United States and to many defense applications. The language was recently approved by the HASC as part of the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”). The bill next moves to the House Rules Committee and the full House for consideration.
In its report accompanying the NDAA, the Committee said that it “recognizes that China is a major producer of high-purity scandium oxide, which has many powerful applications in defense technologies, including strengthening and light-weighting defense and commercial aviation systems. As scandium oxide production is established in the United States, a missing supply chain component is the conversion of scandium from its oxide form to aluminum-scandium (AlSc) master alloy. This process step is required for utilization of U.S.-mined scandium by many defense applications.”
The Committee further noted: “At present, production capacity of AlSc master alloy is limited to one facility in the United States. The committee recognizes that the United States may soon become a major producer of high-purity scandium oxide by virtue of a proposed mine and mineral processing plant in Nebraska. The committee recognizes the defense-wide importance of a vertical domestic supply chain for both scandium oxide and AlSc master alloy and the critical importance of both materials for the production of air-, land-, and sea-based combat systems.”
The Committee went further with additional language: “The committee is aware that the rare earth element scandium has important defense and aviation applications when converted from its mined oxide form to an aluminum-scandium (AlSc) master alloy. The committee understands that the global production of scandium is currently dominated by China and Russia but that the United States is poised to become one of the world’s largest producers of high-purity scandium oxide due to proposed private-sector domestic mine and mineral processing projects. Therefore the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 29, 2023 describing the critical defense applications for AlSc master alloy, a list of specific defense programs that require access to AlSc master alloy, and recommendations to improve defense innovation and industrial base access to scandium oxide and AlSc master alloy.”
NioCorp recently launched a phased commercialization effort to produce Al-Sc master alloy in the U.S., in partnership with Nanoscale Powders, LLC (“Nanoscale”) (https://nanoscalepowders.com/). Nanoscale has developed a proprietary process that increases efficiency and reduces environmental impacts of Al-Sc production over traditional approaches. Work is underway at the Pennsylvania facility of Creative Engineers, Inc., (https://creativeengineers.com/) a leading alkali metal chemical process engineering company specializing in processes for sodium, lithium and potassium metal, to test a novel approach to Al-Sc master alloy production that involves separate metal reduction and alloying steps. The goal of the pilot-scale effort is to demonstrate that, at commercial scale, this process will be cost-competitive with other methods of Al-Sc master alloy, and that NioCorp can make Al-Sc master alloy with a range of scandium content.
Mark A. Smith, CEO and Executive Chairman of NioCorp, said: “We are very pleased to see the U.S. House Armed Services Committee highlight the strategic importance of domestic production of both high-purity scandium oxide and aluminum-scandium master alloy. We recognize this as well, which is why NioCorp launched our phased commercialization effort to develop commercial-scale production in the U.S. of this critical and strategic material. Our team is now conducting pilot-scale testing of aluminum-scandium master alloy and we look forward to reporting results as progress continues.”
NioCorp’s phased commercialization effort is being conducted in partnership with Boston-based Nanoscale Powders LLC, which has developed a proprietary process that increases efficiency and reduces the environmental impacts of Al-Sc production over traditional approaches.
Ha ha! You make a good point, three-squares, a dry bed, new friends (bubba) ….
