Niocorp Developments Ltd (NB)

Chico, Stark, all The 2nd article is "By Associated Press" which should mean a wider audience. This will probably be cited in articles about the need for REES (Even though TNS are not technically REES.)

Note that this reporter gets it right: (Snip) "...formally exercised an option-to-purchase agreement... Once the purchase is finalized, NioCorp will own the surface land on which the Project’s mine infrastructure and supporting operations will be located."

This means that at some point we will have another story and more media exposure when the actual purchase is completed.

I would not be surprised to see a series of stories each time they exercise a purchase option which then gets reported in mining and financial journals. Hopefully they will be fairly close to one another, say every other week, and J.S. and M.S and Scott will use this to build additional interest by demonstration of progress beyond just "conceptual mining".

Besides the issue of options expirations and needing to get going on the project, it is a good time to do this before you have the complicating issue of crop plantings. (At least on Beethe 008 and adjacent properties.) No point in reimbursing the previous owner for the costs of plowing under some portion or all of his or her just planted fields. It's good optics and no cost evidence of thoughtfulness and common courtesy to your firm's new neighbors.
