The writers have far more journalistic integrity than that. These aren’t opinion pieces. Here’s the journal star attributing the 2016 date straight to Niocorp:

NioCorp officials previously said the company hoped to begin construction by the end of this year, but spokesman Jim Sims said Monday mid-2017 is looking more likely.

This is a good old article that addresses both issues you brought up. Interesting that you failed to mention that I was correct on my prediction of permitting issues on the pipeline.

On the topic of integrity and the pipeline, the other rarely discussed point worth mentioning is the time the state warned Honan that federal permitting would be difficult if not impossible and Honan came back with a plan to dump into the Little Nemaha instead, mere feet upstream of the Missouri. This was done solely to attempt to circumvent the permitting process and with complete disregard for the environmental issues with dumping brackish water into a fresh water river. The state saw through this and the plan didn’t advance.
