Hey PM- That remains to be seen/disclosed! Dr. Matheson did state that in addition to Scandium. NanoScale also has patented Titanium & Rare Earth ablities. PLUS- I think He also stated that Niocorp "COULD" collaborate with OTHER ENTITES for different processes! (At least I think he said something like that too!)
PM- I think there was a mention of possibly doing that. Jim would not directly respond yes or no! just
I sense Niocorp will have some material news on all once the 2024 is released & an Anchor Investor/s , Off-TAKES, Govt. funds (DoE/LPO, DOD, EXIM & other possible interested entities are finally revealed or DEAL finalized.)
Given the fact Neo Performance/Magnequench, Stellantis & a few other entities could use a U.S. Mine to MAGNET, Mine To Scandium Aluminum Alloy, Mine to Titanium Alloy, Mine to HSLA STEEL & a bunch more. (Everything Niobium, Scandium, Titanium, REE's , CaCO3, MgCO3, & Fe2O3 can do) That is an impressive line up using everything thie ELK CREEK MINE CAN PRODUCE. IMHO (Note: Niocorp never did respond to direct questions in regard to a certain (Mine to Magnet Synergy that I did ask!)
I am staying tuned... front row seats for another season 2024! =)
