I have to think part of funding delays might have something to do with government monies being at least a partial reason to funding NioCorp or some lending entity who might get their hands on it and do a pass through funding for development of the ElkCreek project. When I see all the things the government is willing to throw money at, and continually talk about the necessity of having critical minerals and REEs, there has to be a piece of the pie for NioCorp too. Are they working a deal with the government through some channel? I could see if a certain lender has expectations of a government guaranteed backed loan, it would stop things in their tracks until govmt. got off the pot and gave them the funds. None of these EVs will do us any good if we don’t have the necessary metals, REEs, etc., to build with. Everybody is in a hurry to have a competitive edge with China and we’ve got so much right here in the middle of the USA, so it’s time to get this operation underway. I have no doubt this mine will be built, but I am certainly getting anxious to get out of the low pps and get north of a dollar. To me, it’s crazy we are not above $2 moving to $3. I’m just frustrated more with the price and lack of investors who must not understand what we’ve got in Elk Creek. JMHO and speculation on some of the goings on.
Snippets from news today:
“We’re here today to talk about the importance of passing the Chips for America Act to strengthen our national and economic security. Later today, the Senate’s going to hold a key vote to advance this critical legislation….
President Joe Biden on Tuesday talked up a South Korean conglomerate’s plan for $22 billion in new investments in U.S. manufacturing, describing SK Group’s decision as a sign of cooperation among allies.
The South Korean company will grow its U.S. workforce from 4,000 to 20,000 workers by 2025, said Biden…….
………the SK Group’s $22 billion in new investment in the U.S. will be focused on semiconductors, electrical-vehicle batteries and biotechnology.
