You’re 100% correct. Mea Culpa.

I mistaken you for the other douche canoes.
Cold dark Troll, LSD77, truth-n-discrepancy.

Just sell then. Quit bitching. If you don’t trust the manager then be a man and sell.

You admitted you sold your shares….

You’re here to troll.

If you don’t believe in management… sell now.

I gave an summary from Jim on permits, never mentioned accumulating more share.
Your rhetoric used to be somewhat amusing, but that was in like 2022. I shall add you to the list of bots to 'ignore' their posts.
Good luck.

I don't typically reply to the bots on this page as your motive is to continue fear mongering to get people to sell for your gain. I thought I'd take the time to refresh my understanding, so I reached out to Jim S for clarity. Jim's reply related to current permitting and forward looking permits:

• We have obtained our Construction Air Permit from the State of Nebraska, which allows us to proceed to a construction start. That permit does not expire, although if material changes are made to the Project’s emissions profile, it will be updated. We do not anticipate any such update as causing an unexpected delay in our construction start (which can commence once project financing is obtained).

• We have obtained a Special Use Permit secured from Johnson County, Nebraska, which is the key local land use permit for the Elk Creek Project. This permit does not expire.

• With regard to federal permits, the Project is designed to avoid impacts to federal jurisdictional waters and other features and does not require a major federal permit.

• EXIM will conduct an environmental review as part of our loan approval process which will include a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis. We do not anticipate any major issues with that review given that, absent the federal action (funding) from EXIM that triggers the need for a NEPA review, the Project does not on its own trigger a NEPA analysis.

There are a variety of other permits that we must obtain, most of which are operational in nature and which have been integrated into the project execution schedule. All of these permits are shown in the 2022 Feasibility Study, starting on page 457, which you can download via our website. We don’t have any significant concerns with securing all of these permits.

I'm making the point that local leaders (Gov/State/local) have overwhelmingly supported this project. Examples: Permitting completed; Roadway and bridge widening on the highway from Tecumseh to mine site. I'm not referring to the funding of the project, only that there is great support for this project in Nebraska.
Quit gaslighting.

You’re wrong. The locals do care and have power. Hence all permitting has been done as well as improvements to local roadways. However, the governor nor the legislature has the Influence to put up $1 billion.

All we need is EXIM. The home work won’t cost that much. Settle down.

Agenda for Sept 26, 2024 EXIM Meeting

Any insight what impact this has to the EXIM loan process for a company such as NioCorp?

CHINA & TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPORTS PROGRAM (CTEP) DIVISION
Request for a Non-Binding resolution in Support of Critical Minerals and Rare Earth Elements Financings
NAC Review: No Public Notification: No Review Required: No
Required Decision: Approval
Deal Team: Barnett

Recycling is a great avenue to draw funding. Especially if it can use the already expected facility that is being planned.
This funding is to a company 35 miles down the road from the mine site.

https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3898948/

I visited the site on Labor Day. They have widened the highway and bridges. Looks good! They were nearing completion then.

Come folks, this is going to be a nothing-burger. We are going to find out that was paid on time just like last time.
This board loves to speculate on gloom and doom and act like they have clue was is going on with the company. NioCorp will release real news when they have it and they CAN release it.

BTW, I'm going to go to the site this weekend to see if there are any changes. I'll report back.
I'll also get some Elk Creek water while I'm there. :)

Any Nebraska locals been by the site recently? I the improved hi-way work completed? Any drilling type equipment on site by chance?

Oh no problem Dutch. If your Last name was turd, you would have trust issues too, ha ha ha

Jim Sims posted on his private FB account yesterday 8/3.

The NioCorp was in DC last week promoting Nebraska critical minerals. Strong and bipartisan support for this unique strategic resource in America’s heartland, and for bringing defense and clean energy supply chains back home. @NioCorp #niobium #scandium #titanium #rareearth

Then a picture with Jim, Scott and Mark.

Good question. Thanks for sharing.

1.4M payment... why bother even discussing. NioCorp hasn't missed a payment, and won't.
It is clear to me, that no one who posts on here has any really has a sense for Nio's ability to pay or not pay.
Nio is working a plan, meanwhile working the financing. Blah, blah.

DOA,

Why do you lurk here when you admittedly got out of this stock earlier in the year?

We know the answer.

Since you've existed your position, I'm curious if you're still going to post on this stock. People who post on stocks they don't own have an agenda typically.

What do you have to say DOA? You pimping this stock or what?

When NioCorp 'extinguished' this debt, I'm reading that they paid it off in full.
If I'm understanding this correctly... They wouldn't pay off the debt unless, they knew they had a future source of funds in the near horizon.
Wouldn't we prudent to pay off a debt if this was going to put them in a tight financial position.

Wagner, say that differently for me. I'm not clear. thanks!

At your prompting, I emailed Sen Fischer on Saturday. I’ll let you know what/if I hear. Thanks.

I really hope that the EMP is in the works with EXIM.

Engineering Multiplier Program

EXIM’s existing Engineering Multiplier Program (EMP) provides direct loans or guarantees of commercial bank loans for pre-implementation stage technical services for foreign projects. EMP loans have a maximum five-year loan repayment tenor, which may be folded into the long-term financing of covered projects if they proceed with EXIM support with tenors of up to 18 years and 22 years if eligible under the Climate Change Sector Understanding (CCSU).

The EMP is designed to generate additional exports of U.S. goods and services overall (the "multiplier effect"), since the foreign buyer is more likely to procure U.S. equipment and construction services for a project for which U.S. engineers, designers, architects, and/or environmental analysts undertook the feasibility study, design, and other pre-project work. EMP loans finance feasibility studies, pre-construction design, engineering, architectural and environmental services undertaken prior to commencement of the implementation phase of a physical project.

Tax benefit. I bought NioCorp averaging $0.63 pre split. Much of my share were purchased with pretax dollars. I'm thinking of converting these to a Roth. Basically, pay taxes on the current (much lower) value which the stock is right now. So when this gets financed, future returns will be tax free.

Thoughts on this strategy? If dividends are paid in the future, would those be tax-free as well under a Roth? TIA

This is a very promising report. I curious why they didn't talk about Titanium/Tickle 4 production and revenue?

What I heard. Going from memory, don't shoot me.

1. FS is only for shareholders. EXIM does not a FS.
2. EXIM does need... More drill holes to get from Indicated to Measured (may have wrong terms)
3. EXIM needs more detailed data related to impact of recent Railveyor on overall cost impact.
4. Negotiation of EXIM Term sheet can go on in parallel with other EXIM requests.

Paid on time, as expected. Thanks for sharing Walter.
As expected NioCorp pays on time. All of you who speculated on gloom and doom default are discredited.

Walter... Anything you can share about your visit to Denver? I'm presuming to visit NioCorp.

NioCorp Engages J.P. Morgan to Assist with EXIM Financing of Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project

CENTENNIAL, Colorado – May 23, 2024 –NioCorp Developments Ltd. (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:NB) is pleased to announce that it has engaged JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("J.P. Morgan") to assist NioCorp in seeking debt financing supported by the Export-Import Bank of the U.S. ("EXIM") to advance NioCorp's proposed Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project (the "Project").

NioCorp's application for project financing with EXIM made it through the first of EXIM's three Transaction Review Committee (TRC) reviews in October 2023. In April 2024, EXIM provided NioCorp with a preliminary indicative term sheet for possible financing. While JPMorgan is assisting the Company to advance the sought financing to the next level in the EXIM approval process, no loan application is final until EXIM’s Board of Directors give its final approval.

"With J.P. Morgan’s experience in helping to successfully craft financing packages with EXIM, we are very pleased to be working with them to continue to push our Elk Creek Project to financing and a construction start as rapidly as possible," said Mark A. Smith, CEO and Chairman of NioCorp.

You nailed it GM. The trolls wouldn't be so persistent if they believed we really were DOA.

Don't listen to their crap. They are hear to only drive the price down.

ge11, Soon we'll be mentioned in articles like these. First we need to get the 3rd and 4th approval from EXIM. It is going to happen this year.

OmniPro, Have you sold your shares yet?

The government is getting more direct in keeping the Chinees (and Mexico) at bay. I don't really know if Tariffs work 'well' or not. But it demonstrate this administrations posture on the matter. In the recent news release it says there will be a 25% tariff on 'Other Critical Mineral' but does not say which ones.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/14/fact-sheet-president-biden-takes-action-to-protect-american-workers-and-businesses-from-chinas-unfair-trade-practices/

Despite rapid and recent progress in U.S. onshoring, China currently controls over 80 percent of certain segments of the EV battery supply chain, particularly upstream nodes such as critical minerals mining, processing, and refining. Concentration of critical minerals mining and refining capacity in China leaves our supply chains vulnerable and our national security and clean energy goals at risk. In order to improve U.S. and global resiliency in these supply chains, President Biden has invested across the U.S. battery supply chain to build a sufficient domestic industrial base. Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Defense Production Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden-Harris Administration has invested nearly $20 billion in grants and loans to expand domestic production capacity of advanced batteries and battery materials. The Inflation Reduction Act also contains manufacturing tax credits to incentivize investment in battery and battery material production in the United States. The President has also established the American Battery Materials Initiative, which will mobilize an all-of-government approach to secure a dependable, robust supply chain for batteries and their inputs.

Putz,

Help me understand, what event or transaction is related to May 24th. I apologize, I have been paying close enough attention to the board.

"Monday is a Holiday, so the 5 consecutive days starts on the Friday, May 24, 2024 which means we either get substantial news on or before the 23rd, or a trading halt for news on Friday the 24th".

Niocorp management team has got this... this isn't their first rodeo.

Demo,

If you do not trust the management team, Why are you still in this investment? Whether this mine succeeds or fails, it is all up to the management. Your whining is getting old. If you feel that strong about them, just quit the stock.

Richard, Thanks for this. Niocorp spending money on engineering at this point is a very bullish indicator to me.
Where did you find this info.

Nice! Wally, Can you share the link where you found this?

Gman, thanks for your posts. Don’t let the people who are here to discourage and drive the price down get under your skin. They are here only to profit by folks selling.

I’ve been here 11 years. Mark, Scott and Jim are solid men whom I trust. Over the years the offering of minerals has expanded as well as the purity. I have no problem waiting another year. EXIM Is going to happen. This recycling of rare earths is going to lock us in yet another angel of the value stream and check one more box of government requirements and desires.
