Niocorp Developments Ltd (NB)

The Trump policy is to make the US less depending on steel and alu imports! Tariffs will not stop imports, it will make them more expensive for US customers ( think car industry)! Local alternatives could benefit depending on availability, price, specification and quality! Trumps actions protect US steel and Alu companies possibly in the long run! Germany has no raw materials, scandium and niobium! They will continue to import! They will still need at least two sources for niobium! Brazil CBBM as a supply source is part of volatile and uncertain business climate! Niocorp remains a reliable alternative! The Trump policy may turn out benficial for Niocorp, not only because of the decision 'strategic minerals' but also
because Niocorp may attain a higher US marketshare for niobium due to these protective measures! I think the German loan guarantee will not be affected! Germany needs niobium and there is no immediate alternative ! Just my two cents!!!
