I like the way you have already grasped where this investment is heading. NioCorp has always been a long-term play that will start to pay off when the mine is in production. We finally have a clear path to production, and traditional investment strategies will take over. There is no need for hype-driven temporary gains. The potential here has never been to make money by selling on the hype. That has been clear in how management approached this since I discovered the investment eight-plus years ago.
This mine's construction will start next year. I predict this is the stage where the investors that see the potential in the mine will make lots of long-term money.
The shareholders looking for a Molycorp-type meteoric rise will likely leave, and the true longs will ride this up—Goodbye, penny stock gamblers. It's time to get real.
