Rare Earth Element Mineral Deposits in the United States 2019
https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1454/circ1454.pdf

The USGS confirms the TOP U.S. potential NEW Rare Earth Mineral Projects
#1) MP Materials (Bastnäesite & Monazite Carbonatite known easiest to separate ores) - Only U.S. producing mine, sending all materials to China for processing. (Until @ 2024/25 When they complete a Separation facility in Texas along with GM. ~Note: China's state owned Shenge Resources owns a 10% stake in MP!)
(Niocorp had a completed 2019 F.S. but did not have a market compliant REE Mineral Resource!)

2020 Critical Materials Rare Earths Supply Chain: A Situational White Paper
https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2020/04/f73/Critical%20Materials%20Supply%20Chain%20White%20Paper%20April%202020.pdf

The United States currently lacks the domestic capability to separate REE concentrates into REOs and process them into rare earth metals at a commercial scale.
A) MP Materials has announced it will begin developing its own separation and processing capability at Mountain Pass by the end of 2020.
B) Rare Element Resources has completed pilot-testing in Canada and Germany to validate its proprietary separation and processing technology.
C) Ucore Rare Metals is developing a pilot plant to separate the HREEs and LREEs at Bokan Mountain.
D) USA Rare Earth has partnered with Texas Mineral Resources to open a pilot plant that will separate light and heavy REEs, in addition to other critical materials, in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The ore being processed will come from the Round Top deposit in Texas.
E) Rare Earth Salts is currently operating a plant producing REOs.
F) Momentum Technologies also has the capability to produce REOs from a diverse set of feedstocks.
G) La Paz /American Rare Earths in Nevada undergoing resource update into a PEA

The USGS & other entities have studied the "Sh$T" out of the Elk Creek Deposit! Some Entity/s are invested & interested IMHO

(Cash on hand till years end imho!)

2022 - NIOCORP has published a market compliant REE NI-43-101 report to the world. Now considered "The Second Largest PROVEN REE deposit in the U.S.!"
MAY 18, 2022 NioCorp’s Elk Creek Project Confirmed as the Second Largest Indicated-Or-Better Rare Earth Resource in the U.S.

2022 - NIOCORP is now undergoing final Demo-Plant Separation & Optimization of all expected Critical Minerals for production at the Elk Creek Mine. (Niobium, Scandium, Titanium, ~REE's, CaCO3, MgCO3 & an Fe??? very interesting BYPRODUCTS!!!!~)

NIOBIUM ranked #2 on the 2021 U.S. Critical Minerals List Review:
https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2021/1045/ofr20211045.pd
(Niobium is ranked 2nd as the most critical U.S. mineral 2021!)

The BENS US Critical Minerals List Criticality Ranking:
#1)RARE EARTHS #2)SCANDIUM #3)NIOBIUM #24TITANIUM

(I hope completing in August/early Sept. 2022? should be very INTERESTING indeed!!! imho)

2022 NIOCORP: Once Demo Plant operations are completed & verified. Niocorp Intends to complete an updated independently verified 2022 F.S.; updating all project Economics/Numbers, & Project Flowsheet/P&ID's for construction.

(Hoping before 2022 AGM??)

Form your own opinions & conclusions:
Given:
As I research & see what Niocorp's competitors are doing & the information of "lack of information" these competitors' post.. ".....
~None of the above-mentioned projects are Financed (other than MP materials) & knowing where each project stands through DD. "IF" team Niocorp can accomplish the tasks above & secure a substantial $$finance via- (A,B,C,D,E, or any combo in 2022????). "I see a method to an end, &
a late 2025/26 production timeline still works imho... Boy ...Grunt's numbers look awe fully good!"
I am waiting with many in our front row seats! Bring on the Material News as it becomes available!
Go Team Niocorp & L3!
