Hello Chico: It always amazes me how you can put so much stuff together. Thanks.

Here is a little bit more trivia regarding "our" mine:

A meaningful step forward for Elk Creek’s infrastructure readiness. 🚧
Johnson County approved a Special Use Permit for NioCorp’s Elk Creek Superalloy Materials Project, which includes a commitment to upgrade County Road 721—the gravel stretch connecting State Highway 50 to the mine entrance. NioCorp will engineer, construct, and maintain the road, transforming it into a paved access route.
Here’s what’s notable:
- 🛣️ Road 721 upgrade: This isn’t just cosmetic—it’s about ensuring safe, reliable transport for equipment, personnel, and future product shipments.
- 👮 Law enforcement support: NioCorp also agreed to reimburse the county for added law enforcement during construction, including funding for a new deputy and gear.
- 🏗️ Construction readiness: The permit signals local alignment and clears a key hurdle for breaking ground—pending final project financing.
This kind of local cooperation bodes well for long-term community relations and operational stability. It’s also a subtle but strong signal to investors that Elk Creek isn’t just a paper project—it’s inching closer to reality.

Have a great day!
