Form your own opinions & conclusions above:
(Niocorp will produce minerals (Nb,Sc,Ti,REE's) that will have "Major" Value-added Carbon Neutral possibilities. Currently Scott & his team/s - (L3 & other entities) are completing the optimization of the Hydromet process & working to confirm the New Proprietary Process, Improvements to Niobium, Titanium & Scandium; along with Separation/Production of REE's (if possible) for final design/engineering decisions moving forward). (New Byproducts are also being considered! CaCO3 & MgCO3 are "INTERESTING!")
(Any New Mine will need to be as ESG friendly & as "Carbon Neutral" as possible moving forward)
IMHO: It appears our Niocorp TEAM has ESG/GHG PRINCIPLES well in order. Niocorp has checked off those items for me....
