Quite clever plan IMO but still in need of financing for NioCorp. Not that we should discount the importance that NioCorp made it to Phase 2 of 3 phases of approval in February for an $800,000,000 loan from EXIM. That was an important elevation in the application process.

Was just hoping to see an announcement from the Fed Govt re fast tracking junior miner start ups. The article did say, however, "The move is one of several planned for an executive order Trump could sign as soon as Wednesday after he told the U.S. Congress last week he would "take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA.""

....which leaves 2 more announcements re critical minerals according to the article to be annouced and signed in to law scheduled for Wednesday.

Find it kind of interesting that Trumps projected Executive Order signing is scheduled just 1 day before the NioCorp AGM.

Coincidence?

It doesn't surprise me that there might not be a mandate to purchase USA only minerals. Our own mine might not be in production before the end of trump's term. I don't know how long it would take to actually get useable ore out vs getting ore AND have a processing facility. At one time we were talking 4 years. Lets say we get that shortened to 3 years. Still cutting it close if we got funded and broke ground tomorrow.
