Good article Blairman, Yes Thyssen has agreed to buy aprox. 50% of Elk Creeks annual production for at least 10 years with options for more. The deal is only contingent on NioCorp having a favorable feasibility report, due out this late spring.
I think we all know by now, how good this BFS will be, notwithstanding Mark's comments on how NioCorp will rewrite the book on the new standard for material recovery rates of 70+%, that is the highest of the three producing mines in the world.
Reading the article it definately sound like the new "inCar Plus Program" is going to be Hugh! and as stated the mobility sector will continue to grow in the long term.
Who knows maybe ThyssenKrupp will buy the whole dam project, god knows they have the money! $3bil. would be nice! Lol
Here is what I think, with the favorable FS completed and presented, and ThyssenKrupp signing off on the deal, along with more announcements of another offtake , which I believe is waiting in the wings on the FS, along with our graduation to a higher stock exchange, which should be done fairly soon, IMO, these are the ingredients that will finally attract, what we have been missing, and that is the institutional buyers and maybe even some lone whales! Warren Buffett lives in Omaha Neb. and I know he reads "The Omaha World-Herald newspaper" everyday. I'm betting he has heard of NioCorp and it's Elk Creek project which should make the front pages in the next few months.. can you imagine what an indorsement that would be for, NIOBF? He definately should help out in someway with "his influence" after all it is happening in his own State! providing badly needed jobs and badly needed investment dollars. It isn't every day that a new 1/2billion dollar mine is built in Nebraska!
This is Front Page stuff!! IMHO. cheers.
